Chapter 1145A. Shadow of the Abyss
Chapter 1145A. Shadow of the Abyss
Qi Zhen’s mind was in chaos. The more he thought, the more confused he was.
But regardless of what the truth was, there was one point that was without a doubt…Qin Yu had torn apart their agreement and the situation had spun out of control!
Old Turtle narrowed his eyes. He didn’t expect that Qin Yu would react like this. He had directly tossed Qi Zhen out.
Was there some trap here? Or was he not aware of Qi Zhen’s essence? There was no threat to him at all!
“Don’t worry, it’s more than just you and I who want to make a move.” Qin Yu punched out a fist and space collapsed inwards.
Old Turtle’s pupils fiercely shrank. At this moment he could feel an extremely strong aura of threat coming from Qin Yu.
Moreover, it was just a punch but it managed to break through the world of the ancestral land which he had spent painstaking care and effort constantly reinforcing for all these years.
A moment later, a startled roar of anger came from the shattered space. This person seemed to understand what was happening. He crazily struggled and tried to escape, but failed in the end.
Bang –
With a thump, Thousandhonor Marquis crashed into the ground, creating a pit in the hall. As he stood up at the bottom his complexion paled, and when he glanced over Old Turtle, his expression became much uglier.
Before he had a chance to become angrier, Qin Yu growled, “I can give you both a chance and temporarily remove the control of Old Turtle! Whether or not you can grasp this opportunity depends on you!”
He fell to one knee and punched the ground.
Kacha –
Kacha –
Countless cracks appeared and started to race outwards. They wove together into a giant web. In several breaths of time, the cracks spread throughout the entire palace!
Old Turtle stuffily coughed, shock and anger appearing in his eyes. At the same time, his dread and wariness towards Qin Yu was raised to the highest level.
He really was able to injure him!
“This is your chance…of course, you can also choose to attack me, if you believe that this existence you call Old Turtle will eventually forgive you both.” Qin Yu stepped backwards.
Thousandhonor Marquis nearly broke his teeth in anger. He glared at Qin Yu with hate and rushed forward without hesitation.
He understood his identity the most. After breaking into the ancestral land, Qi Zhen might have a chance of returning alive.
But as for him…there was absolutely no chance he would continue living!
Of course, the most important factor was that the feeling Qin Yu gave off was far too terrifying right now.
It was one thing if he became the incarnation of an Abyssal Titan. No matter how powerful his titan form was, he wasn’t a match for him.
The key was that his punch had shattered the entire palace and lifted Old Turtle’s suppression on them.
This was…simply inconceivable!
Qi Zhen laughed out loud. His eyes brightened as he stubbornly stared at Old Turtle. In a tone that was almost dreamy and enchanting, he said, “You cannot imagine how long I’ve waited for today. I never imagined that it would actually come true.
“Although you am I and I am you…I still want to say that your face is ugly to the extreme…I’ve long since wanted to give you a good punch!”
Bang –
His feet struck the ground and he shot up into the air even faster than Thousandhonor Marquis.
As for the result…of course it would be best if he could kill Old Turtle. But the chances of this happening were far, far too low.
But even if he couldn’t kill him, being killed in return was still a good ending…after all, Qi Zhen had wanted to die for a long time already!
It’s best if I kill you, but it’s not bad if you kill me…with such a mentality, he felt no pressure in this battle.
This was Qi Zhen’s truest state of mind.
Bang –
Wild fluctuations of strength erupted in the cracked hall. Qin Yu had already retreated outside. The two golden-armored guards glared at him in anger, “Insolence! You dare to disrespect the Sage!?”
But even though they roared, they had no intention of attacking Qin Yu.
Qin Yu glanced over them once before continuing to retreat.
Regret flashed in his eyes. The little blue lamp’s strength was indeed terrifying, but it wasn’t to the point where he could directly destroy Old Turtle.
Otherwise, there would be no need to go through so much trouble.
The entire palace was now smashed and covered with countless cracks. It had an extremely pitiful appearance.
But the truth was that as long as the main hall didn’t collapse, its root wasn’t damaged. Once the strength that the little blue lamp thrust in was used up, it would all be restored to how it was in the blink of an eye.
Then, Old Turtle’s temporarily lifted suppression would reform once again.
At that time, Qi Zhen would be the first to be finished. Thousandhonor Marquis might be able to last a bit longer, but they couldn’t change the ending.
So using the two of them to delay for a bit was possible, but it was impossible for them to directly kill Old Turtle.
He had to rely on himself in the end!
Qin Yu’s Abyssal Titan form took a deep breath. Then, a rumbling roar filled the air.
“Begin!”
He began to mumble beneath his breath as he sat down cross-legged. The darkness in his eyes expanded and poured out. It was like a mighty black current, drowning Qin Yu’s figure until he finally disappeared.
The battle in the great hall covered in cracks entered a superheated phase from the moment it began.
Qi Zhen wanted to kill and was unafraid of death, so there was no need for him to waver.
Thousandhonor Marquis didn’t want to die, but he knew that only by killing Old Turtle would there be a slim chance of survival.
So these two who had been forced to desperately risk their lives against Old Turtle were genuinely fighting with their lives on the line.
A long spear appeared in Thousandhonor Marquis’ hand. The spear point swayed, shining like a black dragon as it released a terrifying aura.
Not too far away, Qi Zhen held a thick broadsword. It was pitch black in color as if it had absorbed endless ink into itself.
These two divine weapons each possessed partial attributes of the ‘abyss’ and were able to cause damage to Old Turtle.
Otherwise, even if he stood there and allowed the two of them to crazily attack him, they wouldn’t have been able to harm Old Turtle at all.
But being able to cause harm and having already done harm were two entirely different concepts…at least as far as one could see, even though Qi Zhen and Thousandhonor Marquis’ actions were tyrannical and violent, they hadn’t been able to cause any substantial damage to Old Turtle.
As time passed, Qi Zhen and Thousandhonor Marquis’ eyes filled with anxiousness and helplessness.
Wanting to kill Old Turtle was indeed not an easy matter. Once he broke through Qin Yu’s suppression, neither of them would be able to escape.
Qi Zhen was more fortunate. If he could die here and thoroughly dissipate, no longer having to endure the pain of samsara, that would be a form of extrication to him.
But Thousandhonor Marquis didn’t want to die…
“Qin Yu, no matter what you want to do, hurry up and do it! We won’t be able to last much longer!”
None of them were idiots. If Qin Yu pulled the two of them into the ancestral land and exposed them, it wasn’t to watch helplessly as they died.
This thinking wasn’t wrong to begin with, but there were always surprises in life…for instance, Qin Yu really was waiting for them to die.
Qi Zhen and Thousandhonor Marquis’ death would be the turning point to opening up the next step of the plan!
…
Old Turtle was very cautious by nature…okay, to be blunt, he was horribly afraid of death. This shouldn’t be considered a shortcoming originally. After all, all living beings in the world, as long as they possessed an independent consciousness, would have an instinctive sense of fear and awe towards death.
But in fact, fearing death could also be divided into ranks. If Old Turtle was given a label, he stood at the pinnacle of all those in the world that feared death!
As long as he could survive, he was willing to do anything. For instance, sealing himself in this self-proclaimed small world called the Nightmare Ancestral Land.
After experiencing the erosion of endless years, the loneliness and alienation that was produced and constantly accumulated was enough to break down any person’s mind.
But Old Turtle was an exception…not only did he show no signs of mental breakdown, but he instead feared death even more.
This was why he released several shadows to control the Nightmare Clan and continuously replenish him with the source strength required to continue living.
The reason so much was said was to make one point clear – how afraid Old Turtle was of death, and how he was willing to do anything to live on.
And this was an incomparably important point in the little blue lamp’s plan. Of course, these were all things that could be put aside for the time being and discussed later.
In the cracked hall, Old Turtle was withstanding Qi Zhen and Thousandhonor Marquis’ frenzied attack. Although he stood as steady as a rock, his innermost feelings were anxious.
Qin Yu’s appearance was indeed a variable that surpassed his control. After discovering his existence, Old Turtle had immediately become vigilant.
So after the Chosen Platform arrived, he added oil to the flames, turning Qin Yu into the target of all others and trying to kill him with their knives. But what a pity, those bastards from the Nightmare Clan were all pieces of trash.
The arrival of King Mystery and Elder Ao Fa had caused Old Turtle to see hope once again. So he tacitly consented to them joining the fray.
The Chosen Platform was a part of the ancestral land, the strongest defensive system that formed his ‘turtle shell’. If it wasn’t for a situation like this, how could he tolerate the intrusion of True Kings?
But the result was like this…Qin Yu had somehow managed to survive and entered the ancestral land. Then, a series of accidents occurred.
Old Turtle started to regret not immediately attacking and killing Qin Yu at the moment he entered the ancestral land.
Now, he felt that he had fallen into his opponent’s rhythm…this abominable feeling lingered in his mind.
No, this wasn’t good. He had to change the pace. He couldn’t allow Qin Yu to continue whatever he was doing…he had to eliminate these two little fellows as soon as possible!
Thousandhonor Marquis didn’t matter. After all, he followed the will of the abyss, so destroying him was the correct action.
But Qi Zhen…hoho, his shadow had actually rebelled and wanted to kill him, the main body? This was simply unforgivable!
Don’t you wish to die with all your heart? Fine, then I shall help you!
