65: Giant softshell turtle, a king-level life form!

Just like when he was in Hu Hai's car at the beginning.

Once Ye Su makes a move, it is with the momentum of a sudden thunderclap that leaves no time to cover one's ears.

By the time Cui Hu and the others noticed,

Ye Su had already reached the bombardment front line—turn your head!

Looking at the sky, the bombardment points of the artillery shells followed a trajectory.

Bullet Time activated.

Locking onto the impact points in advance, he evaded ahead of time.

Twisting and turning, Ye Su crossed the bombardment front line right before everyone's eyes.

Naturally, it was inevitable that several shrapnel fragments would become embedded in his body, but with his current muscle and skin strength, these fragments would soon be squeezed out by his muscles.

It wouldn't affect his subsequent combat effectiveness.

Even—a green light drifted over from a distance.

It landed accurately on Ye Su, topping off his status.

Mo Xiaoyu's move was quite decent.

Remote healing truly is a divine skill.

After doing this, Mo Xiaoyu began to move closer to Cui Hu.

She still knew how to protect herself.

In short...

She couldn't stand on the front line and resist the impact of the Fish Demons alone.

But mixed into someone else's team, she was like a fish in water.

Cui Hu was also happy to let Mo Xiaoyu into the team formation; who would turn away a Support Class Practitioner?

Only...

Ye Su had broken through.

"He really dares!"

Cui Hu couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

In this situation, if someone could forcibly kill that giant turtle, the entire situation would be resolved.

Without the suppression of a King-level Lifeform, the Fish Demons would be targets—targets to be hit at will.

A single Meat Grinder could kill them all!

But—can Ye Su really kill that giant turtle?

Having crossed the bombardment front line, Ye Su had essentially charged into the tide of Fish Demons.

The Fish Demons ahead were densely packed, like a surging tide.

A normal Professional would be submerged in an instant upon charging in.

Therefore,

Ye Su's opening move was Overlapping Wave Slash!

With one slash, the blade's momentum layered up, forming waves.

Using waves to clash against the tide was the best method.

After one slash, another followed.

The blade's momentum grew fierce, clearing a path for Ye Su.

Thus,

He carved out a path and charged directly toward the Great Turtle.

The Great Turtle's form was towering; even stationary by the riverbank, it looked like a giant ship.

From a distance, Ye Su looked like a water-splitting torpedo heading straight for the giant ship.

The Great Turtle's high-arched head noticed this scene.

It looked at Ye Su, its eyes revealing a human-like disdain.

In its perception, even if such a tiny creature actually got close, what could it do?

It simply couldn't imagine how a creature of such small size could possibly pose a threat to it.

So,

It just coldly watched Ye Su as he charged over.

Third slash!

The blade momentum was like a tide.

Ye Su made his final charge.

The tide of Fish Demons was violently split apart, and a clear path appeared, with the Great Turtle right ahead.

And the Great Turtle didn't even bother to defend!

Heh.

Arrogant!

Ye Su's pace grew faster and faster as he crossed this smooth path.

Facing the Great Turtle directly!

At this moment,

Ye Su, having fought his way here, possessed a magnificent Aura.

His heart beat rapidly, pumping blood into every corner of his body.

His body temperature rose, and mist began to steam off him.

His blood and Qi surged, forming a flame-like sublimation around his body.

Then,

He leapt suddenly!

Ye Su intended to jump onto the Great Turtle's back.

As long as he got up there,

The Great Turtle would have no room to fight back; Ye Su could even enter its body through the wounds on its back and cause devastating internal damage.

A large size also meant massive weaknesses.

In terms of agility, it definitely—fuck!

What the hell!

Ye Su's gaze narrowed as he felt a vicious wind hitting his face.

A palm the size of a house came swatting directly toward him.

Fast, incredibly fast.

Fast to a degree that was hard to match with a size like the Great Turtle's!

While in mid-air, Ye Su had no way to gain leverage and could only curl his body to withstand the strike head-on.

Boom!

Ye Su felt as if he had been hit by a train.

His entire body was incredibly sore.

Holy shit.

This thing doesn't follow the rules of martial arts.

With such a massive size, how can your movements be so agile?

Is this even logical?

Could it be that this is the benefit of being a King-level Lifeform?

No longer restricted by size, evolving to have no blind spots?

Good grief, you're practically ascending!

The Great Turtle's eyes stared at Ye Su.

That swat just now was essentially like swatting a fly.

But even so, logically, it should have easily crushed this tiny creature to death.

However...

After rolling once on the ground, he seemed perfectly fine.

This—the Great Turtle began to take Ye Su a bit more seriously.

It felt a bit strange.

Having only recently gained consciousness, the Great Turtle didn't really understand the feeling of being threatened.

It just felt like it had encountered a very interesting lifeform and wanted to test it further.

And so,

The Great Turtle moved.

As if hunting, it began to deploy its hunting techniques against Ye Su.

As it moved, all the surrounding Fish Demons scrambled away, leaving a vacuum zone.

Ye Su took a deep breath.

He didn't know how his future self had done it.

But he would surely be able to do it too.

Large size, powerful vitality, fast movements, and immense strength.

These were the Great Turtle's advantages.

As long as he couldn't get close or on its back, these advantages would be infinitely magnified.

A serious palm strike would be fatal.

From just that casual strike earlier, Ye Su felt like he was about to fall apart.

"There's only one way, and that's for me to be faster than it!"

Ye Su thought to himself.

Small size was a disadvantage, but also an advantage.

After all, he was flexible enough.

As long as his speed increased, all of this would change.

So,

Fast, even faster!

Ye Su currently needed faster bursts and higher speed.

Whoosh—a red shadow began to flicker.

Ye Su rapidly adjusted his position.

Every time the Great Turtle's massive palm struck down, it caused the ground to vibrate.

Fortunately, with his rapid bursts, Ye Su managed to dodge every time by a hair's breadth.

But,

In this way,

The Great Turtle could afford countless mistakes, while Ye Su couldn't afford a single one.

Suddenly,

A look of panic appeared on Ye Su's face.

It seemed...

It seemed he was becoming unable to dodge.

The Great Turtle was gradually becoming serious, and the combat power of a King-level Lifeform was beginning to show.

Blood and Qi surged.

Individual will was erupting; deep in Ye Su's mind, the heart ape was howling.

This kind of battle made it feel displeased and frustrated.

This displeasure and frustration became a sort of catalyst, accelerating the circulation of blood and Qi in Ye Su's body.

The rain!

Was being pushed away.

The quality of his blood and Qi seemed to be rapidly increasing.

The consequence of this rapid increase in blood and Qi was—Physique +1!

Yes!

Blood and Qi themselves are the key to nourishing the body.

As the blood and Qi circulated faster, the body would be nourished to become even tougher; every threshold crossed would be reflected in the numerical values.

With the increase in Physique,

A brand new power directly emerged.

Ye Su broke into a cold sweat.

Looking at the palm that had landed behind him.

Indeed.

Between life and death, there is great terror.

And this was just a small crisis; if it truly came to a life-or-death moment, heaven knows what kind of power the body would erupt with to save itself!
