313: Chapter 313 Defeating the Three-Tailed Turtle Demon

Seeing that his objective had been achieved, Chen Lingzhen no longer continued to linger.

After unleashing his original strength of the Sixth Layer of Qi Refining, he joined the ranks of slaying demons once again.

However, when he displayed the cultivation of the Sixth Layer of Qi Refining, many people suddenly realized that ever since the gambling match began, this person seemed to have only displayed the strength of the Fifth Layer of Qi Refining. Come to think of it...

Those young Cultivators did not dare to think further into it.

"The Zeng Family? It seems the Zeng Family does not need to exist anymore."

At the peak of Chenwu Mountain, Chen Changxuan had also witnessed the gambling match between the two.

He looked towards another location, where Chen Lingzhi made her move once again.

What she faced were two First-Rank High Grade sea demons.

Chen Changqi was watching over her from the side.

On the other side, Chen Lingjing led a team to guard a corner of the Formation. The number of sea demons there was relatively small, but not by much.

On their side, there were only a few Cultivators in the Late Qi Refining Stage and dozens in the Middle Stage of Qi Refining guarding the area, so there shouldn't be any major issues.

As long as the three battlefield locations facing the Wuwang Sea could be held, it would be fine.

Nearby, Chen Lingjing walked over and asked, "Dad, I also want to join the battle."

"Nonsense, get back here right now! It was not easy for our Family to Cultivate you into a First-Rank Medium Grade Talisman Master. Do you have any idea how many resources were consumed in the process?" Chen Changxuan looked at his naive daughter and became somewhat angry.

Back then, the Family selected several clansmen to nurture, and as a result, two people successfully became Talisman Masters, one of whom was his daughter. Afterwards, the Family did everything possible to Cultivate them, which also cost a significant amount of resources.

If she were allowed to fool around as she pleased and die on the battlefield, how could he account for it later?

He wouldn't be able to explain it to the clansmen, nor could he explain it to her mother.

Scolded thoroughly, Chen Lingjing felt somewhat aggrieved, but she still stubbornly said, "Why can my brother participate in the battle while I cannot? You taught us back then to prioritize the interests of the Family, but now the Family is facing a crisis, and I can only watch here."

"Sigh, girl, going down to fight and kill is not the only way to do things for the Family. Go back and refine your Talismans properly. With your Talismans, the survival capabilities of our clansmen will greatly increase. How is this not a contribution to the Family?" Chen Changxuan sighed. He knew that his daughter was considering the Family, so it was hard for him to continue being angry, and he could only persuade her gently.

"I understand." Chen Lingjing turned around and returned to the Talisman Refining Hall, beginning to prepare for Talisman refining.

Chen Changxuan's mood was complex. How could he not want to make a move himself? It was just that besides dealing with the attacks of Second-Rank sea demons, he also had to look after some talented clansmen.

At most, he could only strike when the opportunity arose to help them relieve some pressure.

Bang!

A turtle demon with a body the size of a small mountain crawled out from the surface of the sea.

Chen Changxuan immediately left the peak of the mountain and unleashed his Flying Sword towards the turtle demon.

The turtle demon was pushed back several zhang by this sword strike, yet it was not even injured. Its body merely paused for a moment before it continued charging towards the Formation.

The Dust and Sand Skill that Chen Changxuan cultivated placed more emphasis on defense, and offense was not his strong suit, so he simply could not take down the opponent in a short period of time.

Meanwhile, that Second-Rank turtle demon struck again, opening its large mouth to bite towards him.

Chen Changxuan arrived in front of it, condensing his spiritual power to form a sand shield around him to block the attack.

However, this turtle demon not only had extremely strong defense, but its bite force was also terrifyingly powerful.

Cracks continuously appeared on the condensed sand shield under the turtle demon's bite force.

While driving his Flying Sword to attack the turtle demon, he formed hand seals and chanted incantations.

Those grains of sand formed spears resembling earthy longspears, bombarding the turtle demon's body.

Both moves were executed simultaneously, and this time they finally left some scars on the turtle demon's body. However, they were not very heavy, merely leaving a few cracks on its outer skin and oozing a little bit of blood.

The effect of this strike was not significant, but it enraged the opponent. The three tails behind the turtle demon whipped around incessantly. Had it not been for this, Chen Changxuan wouldn't have even noticed that the opponent had three tails, because its body was simply too massive.

While whipping around, the three tails lashed towards Chen Changxuan.

While dodging, Chen Changxuan launched earthy longspears to attack, and incidentally unleashed that brownish-yellow Flying Sword.

In terms of cultivation, that turtle demon was slightly higher than Chen Changxuan, but in terms of elemental suppression, Chen Changxuan's earth attribute suppressed the opponent's water attribute.

Coupled with the fact that this turtle demon was not the type good at combat,

However, the destructive range of their exchange was so large that many low-grade sea demons in the surrounding area were instantly killed offhand.

Every earthy longspear, after piercing into the turtle demon's body, brought out a trace of fresh blood.

Even with the turtle demon's massive body, after enduring so many attacks, it began to show signs of fatigue.

Finally, knowing that it could not gain any advantage, the turtle demon retreated back into the sea.

Seeing this, Chen Changxuan also returned to the peak of Chenwu Mountain, and after taking a Medicinal Pill, he began to recover his spiritual power.

After he defeated the second Second-Rank sea demon, the morale of numerous Cultivators soared tremendously. They had not expected that this Old Ancestor of the Chen Family could repeatedly defeat these sea demons.

However, the previous Second-Rank sea demon was not really considered defeated; rather, it had just popped out of the sea surface and wanted to attack, only to be beaten back into the water. The strength of this Second-Rank sea demon was far weaker than the turtle demon just now. Even with the assistance of the Formation, coupled with a few Cultivators at the Perfection of the Ninth Layer of Qi Refining, it would be enough to counter and slay the opponent.

Chen Lingjing also saw his father's heroic bearing, and a smile appeared on his face. He had adored his father since he was a child. When he was young, his father was already a Foundation Establishment Cultivator. Although his cultivation had not improved very quickly over the past few decades, he was still the strongest Cultivator in the Chen Family today.

Several hours later, the sky gradually darkened. Both outside and inside the Formation, there were large numbers of sea demon corpses. Of course, quite a few Cultivators had also fallen in battle. Among them, the Chen Family had a total of 227 Cultivators, with 72 participating in the battle, slaying 453 sea demons, suffering 13 deaths and 31 injuries.

As for the other eight Qi Refining Families, out of a total of 675 Qi Refining Cultivators, 234 participated in the battle, slaying 629 sea demons, suffering 66 deaths and 115 injuries.

Comparing the Chen Family with these Qi Refining Families, the gap between them became apparent.

Fortunately, night fell, and the sea demons no longer continued to launch large-scale attacks, because many sea demons rarely ventured out in the dark of night.

However, there were still quite a few sea demons that would strike at night, so the Chen Family arranged for many Cultivators to keep watch through the night.

The Cultivators who participated in the battle during the day were either healing their wounds or recovering their spiritual power at this moment. Some also discovered that their relatives and friends had died in battle or gone missing, and began to search for them.

Among them was a group of Cultivators who would step forward and ask every Cultivator they saw: "Fellow Daoist, have you seen a tall Cultivator around twenty-five years of age, with the cultivation of the Fifth Layer of Qi Refining, not particularly handsome, whose Magical Artifact is a purplish-red Flying Sword?"

"No." Many people shook their heads.

Most of the Cultivators who knew about it wore a trace of mockery at the corners of their mouths, but they had no intention of telling the other party.

The few members of the Zeng Family seemed to feel that some people knew but simply were unwilling to tell them, and instead assumed that Zeng Ziyu had performed too brilliantly, causing them to harbor jealousy.

However, seeing that they still hadn't found Zeng Ziyu, they grew somewhat impatient in their hearts.

"If we had known earlier, we wouldn't have let this kid Ziyu participate in the battle. Now look at this! If he dies at the hands of sea demons, our Zeng Family's goal of becoming a Foundation Establishment Family will also be gone," someone complained.

"Alright, Fifth Brother, that kid Ziyu is extremely smart; he will certainly not joke with his own life casually. Besides, the beast tide here is not as numerous as ours, so there shouldn't be any major issues. Perhaps Ziyu has already returned to his residence to heal his wounds," a White-haired Elder said.

Upon hearing this, everyone felt as if they had taken a reassuring pill, and they no longer worried so much about Zeng Ziyu's life.
