Chapter 129 Shock
"Is there one more?"
Song Jing and the others had just finished dealing with the henchmen when they turned around and their faces turned deathly pale.
On the banks of the turbid, churning black river, a bizarre creature, as large as a millstone and covered in a layer of white bone armor, slowly crawled out. With each step it took, its heavy body caused the muddy riverbed to tremble, producing a chilling roar.
This monster resembles a giant tortoise, but its back is not a natural tortoise shell. Instead, it is a cage of bones made up of thick, pale ribs, with rotting, blackened flesh writhing in the gaps.
"What the hell is this thing?!"
Xu Hu exclaimed in surprise, but still raised his knife and slashed at it.
"Don't let it break up our formation!"
Song Jing roared and rushed to provide support from the side.
"Clang! Clang!"
Two crisp, metallic clangs rang out in quick succession.
Xu Hu and Song Jing felt a violent tremor in their hands, as if their longswords had struck ancient black iron, the immense recoil nearly causing them to drop their weapons. Upon closer inspection, they saw only a string of sparks fly from the pale white bone armor, leaving not even a white mark!
"roar--!
""
The bone turtle was clearly enraged by the two men's attack. It suddenly shrank its head to avoid the blade, and then its scaly head shot out like a spring, its gaping maw snapping fiercely into Xu Hu's blade.
"Snap!"
With a sickeningly sharp crack, Xu Hu's longsword, forged from refined steel, was bitten in half!
Immediately afterwards, the bone turtle's thick tail swept out like a steel whip covered in barbs, accompanied by a whistling sound.
"Bang! Bang!"
Xu Hu and Song Jing had no time to dodge and were swept away by the terrifying force, crashing heavily into the rock wall behind them. Both coughed up blood, feeling as if their bodies had been shattered, their eyes filled with horror.
"Damn it—cough cough—it's the bone-faced monster the commander mentioned!"
Xu Hu clutched his chest and roared, "This strange bone shell is too hard! Ordinary weapons are completely ineffective! It takes at least a martial artist with two acupoints to unleash their qi and blood to break through its defenses!"
Cai Yun, who was fighting the spider monster, caught a glimpse of this scene out of the corner of her eye and was extremely anxious.
The appearance of this bone turtle completely disrupted the battle. If no one had stopped it, those team members would likely have been injured or killed.
She twirled the Emei Dagger in her hand, trying to force her way out of the battle to provide support, but the spider monster with eight spear-like legs in front of her seemed to sense her intention and attacked wildly like a madman. Its venom and claws wove into an impenetrable net, holding her tightly.
"Damn it!" Cai Yun gritted her teeth.
On the shore, Su Yu saw that his men were in danger and prepared to jump off the rocks to help them.
"Su Yu! Don't come down!"
Seeing Su Yu's actions, Cai Yun immediately exclaimed anxiously, "That's the Bone-Faced Monster! Its entire body is covered in bone armor as hard as iron. Your Flying Locust Stones won't break through its defenses! Take everyone and retreat! Use the terrain to hold it off! Wait for reinforcements from the commander's side!"
In her opinion, although Su Yu was skilled with hidden weapons, that was only for ordinary monsters, while this bone turtle's defense was comparable to that of a second-level acupoint martial artist, even stronger than the spider monster in front of her.
Su Yu's flying stones were difficult to penetrate the defenses. If one got close and was entangled, death was certain!
However, Su Yu did not stop in his tracks.
He stood atop the towering reef, his black outfit fluttering in the night wind. Looking down at the rampaging bone turtle and his heavily wounded teammates, there was no panic in his eyes, only a sharp, icy glint.
"The bone structure is strange; it's perfect for testing the Spirit Ape Subduing Demon Blade Technique!"
Su Yu's expression remained calm as always, and his left hand slowly rested on the hilt of the long-dormant Mo Yuan sword at his waist.
The next moment, he leaped off the reef, which was several meters high.
While in mid-air, the spine of the dragon suddenly shuddered, and a deep, thunderous hum suddenly resounded.
"Su Yu! You're insane!" Cai Yun's terrified cry was instantly drowned out by the sound of the blade.
Su Yu gripped the sword with both hands, his body stretching out in the air like a fully drawn bow. The 108-pound Mo Yuan sword, carrying a terrifying force that seemed capable of crushing mountains, crashed down towards the indestructible white bone armor!
"Subdue the demon and split the mountain!"
As the blade fell, the night air seemed to thicken, and the night wind stopped howling, instead being swept up by the blade and transformed into a visible wave of air!
"boom--!
A clear explosion rang out in the night.
The black blade light was like a hot knife cutting into butter. The hard white bone shell that made Xu Hu and the others despair was as fragile as paper under Mo Yuan's blade and was torn apart in an instant!
The blade was unstoppable, cutting straight in and easily slicing through the tough flesh and bones of the bone turtle.
"Pfft!"
A jet of black, foul-smelling blood shot into the sky like a fountain, forming a tragically beautiful blood curtain in mid-air.
"roar--!!"
The bone turtle let out a shrill scream, its massive body slammed to the ground by the terrifying force of the strike. Its limbs twitched, and a deep, bone-revealing crack appeared on its carapace!
The huge commotion brought a brief silence to the battlefield.
"Breaked—it's breached?!"
Xu Hu hissed and gasped, staring incredulously at the scene before him, his eyes practically popping out of their sockets.
He had just personally tested how hard the bone turtle's shell was. He hadn't even left a white mark with his full-force strike, but Su Yu had actually cleaved it in two with a single strike.
"Brother Song, what level is Captain Su at? Is it really a single acupoint?" Chen Cheng swallowed hard and asked in a trembling voice.
Song Jing coughed up two mouthfuls of blood, suppressing his shock, and put on an air of having expected it. "What's the big deal! My captain is a peerless genius; how can you judge him by ordinary standards?"
After hearing this, the group exchanged glances, their eyes filled with envy. Is this the difference between geniuses and us?
Not far away, Xie Yun bit her pale lips, her heart trembling. Women often admire strength, and seeing Su Yu's power and youth, admiration naturally arose in her heart.
In the center of the battlefield.
Although the bone turtle was severely injured, it did not die. The intense pain only fueled its ferocity. Its massive body writhed wildly, and its gaping maw opened wide, revealing sharp teeth that swirled and lunged at Su Yu's head.
"Thunder and lightning!"
"Bang!"
Su Yu exerted force with his feet, instantly cracking the ground and creating a deep crater. Using this violent recoil, Su Yu's figure blurred into a streak and vanished in an instant.
The bone turtle bit through empty air, its sharp teeth clanging together with a crisp sound.
Su Yu's figure had already appeared beside it like a ghost.
"The ape emerges from its cave!"
The blade flashed like lightning, piercing the joint of the tortoise's forelimb from an extremely tricky angle.
"puff!"
Another jet of blood shot out.
The bone turtle screamed and tried to turn around, but Su Yu didn't give it a chance.
He unleashed a series of Thunderous Flashes, his body darting left and right, frantically circling the heavy bone turtle. His Mo Yuan Blade sometimes struck with the force of a mountain, sometimes with the agility of a nimble ape.
"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!"
In just a few breaths, the bone turtle had more than a dozen deep wounds that exposed the bone, and the blood stained the riverbank red.
"Sword intent! It really is sword intent!"
On the other side, Cai Yun skillfully dodged the spider monster's attack, her beautiful eyes filled with undeniable shock and surprise.
"Handling heavy objects with effortless ease, unstoppable force—he actually grasped the essence of swordsmanship at such a young age? And such a powerful one at that!"
Even within the circle of geniuses in Blackrock City, those who can comprehend "momentum" at this level are extremely rare!
She seemed to see a rising star!
Cai Yun felt her heart racing, not only because of the tension of the battle, but also because of the young man who was slaughtering everyone around him.
Such a genius, if I don't seize this opportunity, when will it ever be my turn again!
