Chat group: The ruthless guy was blown up after kidnapping Ye Hei at the start.

This is a dragon turtle that is two zhang (approximately 6.6 meters) in size. It resembles a crocodile, but it has two wings on its back and a pair of small horns on its abdomen.

The dragon turtle's skin is very tough, with dense scales that shimmer with a silvery-white luster, resembling steel needles, and is indestructible.

Its tail was even more terrifying, reaching three zhang in length, resembling a giant scimitar, gleaming with a chilling light, and each swing would stir up a fierce wind.

Its claws were sharp, gleaming with a dark metallic sheen, resembling two small hills, carrying immense power as it cleaved Ye Xiu in two.

"Qiang!"

The dragon turtle roared, slapping out one claw that clashed with Ye Xiu's, unleashing a dazzling divine light that shook the void and caused ripples to spread out like water waves.

Ye Xiu was knocked back, his body staggered, and blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

"hold head high!"

The dragon turtle roared and leaped into the air, its other claw slapping towards Ye Xiu at an extreme speed, like lightning slicing through the sky.

"call out!"

Ye Xiu used the Kunpeng Sacred Technique to dodge, moving with incredible speed, like a butterfly fluttering about, narrowly escaping death. However, a layer of skin was scraped off his palm, leaving it bloody and looking extremely gruesome.

"Wow!"

He reacted quickly, divine light swirling around his palm, and threw a punch that struck the dragon turtle's tail, sending it tumbling away.

The dragon turtle roared, its tail whipping out like a whip.

"boom!"

Ye Xiu dodged, but a gust of wind swept past, forcing him back.

"Whoosh!"

Ye Xiu dodged again.

At this moment, the dragon turtle had already steadied itself, its eyes cold as it looked at Ye Xiu: "Your strength is quite good; you were actually able to withstand one of my attacks."

Ye Xiu frowned, listening to the dragon turtle's words, somewhat confused.

"Who are you, and how do you know I exist?" Ye Xiu asked.

"Hmph, brat, don't play dumb. I am the guardian of the Nine Provinces Continent, ordered to protect it. You dare to desecrate the ancestral statue; you deserve to die a thousand deaths," the dragon turtle said, its voice cold, mechanical, and devoid of emotion.

"Guardians?" Ye Xiu frowned.

“That’s right, you lowly creatures dare to blaspheme our ancestors? You’re simply courting death,” the dragon turtle said.

213 Upon hearing this, Ye Xiu was puzzled and asked, "There are actually guardians in this world?"

"Enough with the nonsense, give me your life. I've got my hands on your blood. Once I've absorbed your essence, my injuries will heal instantly."

"Dragon Turtle said, staring at Ye Xiu with incredibly greedy eyes."

Although it has lived for a very long time and can be considered an old monster, it is only a cultivator at the eighth level of the Martial King realm. Moreover, its lifespan is coming to an end, with only a few years left. Its time is almost up, and it must find rare and precious materials to prolong its life, otherwise it will surely die. Even taking pills will not be effective.

"Hahaha....!"

Upon hearing the dragon turtle's words, Ye Xiu couldn't help but burst into laughter.

This dragon turtle is indeed terrifyingly powerful, a top expert at the Martial Emperor level, but it's too arrogant and wants to eat him.

Keep in mind, he has even slaughtered demons at the Martial Venerable level. How could a mere peak Martial Emperor possibly catch his eye?

Chapter 342 The Golden Gate!

"Little thing, are you provoking me? Today I'll show you what a true Martial Venerable realm expert is." Ye Xiu sneered. A Martial Emperor-level savage beast dares to speak human language? Does it think I'm a fool?

"Roar!" The dragon turtle roared, and a claw swept across the air, striking towards Ye Xiu. The claw was sharp, like a heavenly halberd, tearing through the void and emitting a piercing shriek, as if it wanted to cut everything in two.

"boom!"

Ye Xiu swung his fists, unleashing a torrent of divine light that collided with one of the dragon turtle's claws, producing a resounding clang.

Ye Xiu was sent flying backward, his arms went numb, his palms were in excruciating pain, his tiger's mouth exploded, and blood flowed out, a shocking sight.

"Awooo..."

The dragon turtle roared, its eyes revealing a cruel and bloodthirsty look. With a loud roar, it pounced again, its speed too fast, like lightning, its sharp claws tearing through the sky.

"Hey!"

Ye Xiu raised his leg and kicked out, transforming into a dazzling shooting star.

"boom!"

Ye Xiu kicked the dragon turtle in the neck, but it was ineffective. Golden runes pulsed there, blocking Ye Xiu's kick.

"Crack!"

The dragon turtle twisted its neck, and a terrifying suction force emanated, pulling Ye Xiu's leg off completely.

"Ugh..."

Ye Xiu groaned, his face pale, his body swaying, and he almost fell into the lake.

This is a forbidden lake, its waters teeming with poison. He has only just broken through to the next level, and his cultivation is not yet fully consolidated. If he were to fall into this forbidden lake, he would surely be reduced to ashes.

Ye Xiu felt a chill in his heart and secretly felt lucky. If he had really fallen into the lake, he would have died without a doubt, because the lake water was left by a dragon and was extremely poisonous. A single drop of blood could corrode hundreds of thousands of kilograms of divine stone, let alone a corpse.

Even a half-step Martial Emperor level expert, once contaminated, will eventually turn into pus and blood.

"Whoosh!"

The dragon turtle burst out of the lake and pounced on Ye Xiu. It was very fast, like an arrow released from a bow, and caught up with Ye Xiu in the blink of an eye, grabbing him with its claw.

"laugh!"

Ye Xiu reacted quickly, summoning his crimson spear and hurling it, which pierced the dragon turtle's head, spurting blood everywhere and staining the lake red.

Ye Xiu moved quickly, retracting his spear, and the dragon turtle's massive body crashed into the lake.

"Bang bang bang..."

He unleashed over a hundred punches in a row, all landing on the dragon turtle's shell. Each punch was as heavy as a mountain, crushing the void.

Unfortunately, none of these attacks managed to break through the defenses.

"Roar! You weakling, like an ant, actually think you can kill me? Dream on..."

The dragon turtle roared, its voice booming, filled with disdain and mockery.

It radiated golden light, and scales appeared one after another, covering its body and protecting it firmly. No matter how fiercely Ye Xiu attacked, it remained unharmed.

"Buzz!"

Suddenly, the void in front of Ye Xiu trembled slightly, and a golden portal appeared, hanging above Ye Xiu's head, with beams of brass light hanging down.

The brass door is engraved with ancient patterns, exuding an aura of antiquity and seemingly of extraordinary origin, possessing unimaginable power.

"Boom!"

Ye Xiu pushed open the door and walked into the room, disappearing in an instant.

This portal, named the Golden Gate, is the treasure Ye Xiu obtained in Martial Emperor City. He had tried to open the Golden Gate before, but couldn't. Now, facing danger, he immediately summoned the Golden Gate.

“BOOM, BOOM, BOOM…!”

Within the portal, a chaotic mist filled the air, and a gigantic dragon turtle burst forth from within. Its entire body was jet black, its scales menacing, and on its enormous head, two lantern-sized eyes gleamed with a ferocious light. It roared and charged at the dragon turtle.

"Roar!"

The dragon turtle roared, leaped forward, and instantly rushed to Ye Xiu's side, extending its sharp claws to rip into his chest, creating a gust of wind that tore everything apart.

"Oh!"

The dragon turtle slammed down with its claw, creating a deafening explosion that overturned wave after wave.

"Roar!"

The dragon turtle was furious. It felt like it had been tricked. The human in front of it not only had strange weapons, but also a strong body, and was not afraid of it at all.

"boom!"

The dragon turtle shook its tail, sweeping out a dark cloud that shattered the void and slammed into the golden gate. Sparks flew, and the golden gate trembled, yet it remained standing there, unmoved and unaffected by anything.

"Damn it, what kind of treasure is this? How can it be so hard?" The dragon turtle was furious and kept bombarding the golden gate, but the result was still the same. The golden gate did not budge at all. It could not shake it in the slightest.

"Pfft, so cool!"

Enraged, the dragon turtle attacked again, its sharp claws reaching out to grab Ye Xiu.

Ye Xiu snorted coldly, channeling his lightning power into his right fist. The fist imprint was crystal clear, shimmering with purple light. He threw a punch, striking the dragon turtle's claws.

"clang!"

Sparks flew and metal clashed as Ye Xiu's fist collided with the Dragon Turtle, unleashing a dazzling burst of light.

The dragon turtle's claws were incredibly sharp, enough to pierce through steel and easily decapitate a Martial Venerable Realm expert. However, Ye Xiu's fist was completely unharmed, while the dragon turtle's claws were covered in cracks.

Chapter 343 Sword Qi Soars to the Sky!

"Roar!"

The dragon turtle roared in anger, and a vast wave emanated from its body. This wave was invisible and intangible, but it sent chills down Ye Xiu's spine.
