Martial Arts Overlord-Chapter 746 - 744: Devouring Yuan Giant Turtle

"Die!"

The Azure Cloud Marquis’s eyes glinted with a stern killing intent as he pushed the True Qi in his palm to its absolute limit.

"What!"

The nearby Martial Artists felt the terrifying power of this palm, and their faces paled in horror.

CRASH!

Under the pressure of the Palm Gang, towering waves several zhang high erupted from the lake, forming terrifying whirlpools. The Demon Beasts within shrieked in alarm, their eyes filled with terror.

"Despicable villain!"

Cold Moon Marquis, having regained his senses, his face ashen, attempted to use Qinggong to aid Luo Feng, but it was already too late.

HUMMM...

Before the massive Yuan Qi palm, the air was compressed until it resembled transparent crystal. Luo Feng felt a terrifying pressure descend from the sky. The Yuan Qi throughout his body began to stagnate, making every movement an immense effort. He coughed up another mouthful of blood.

"Luo Feng!"

"Feng Er!"

"Son-in-law!"

High above, the expressions of Luotian, Yang Dingtian, Yue Haitang, and the others changed dramatically.

The Azure Cloud Marquis was a True Yuan Realm master. No Spiritual Rotation Realm Martial Artist could withstand his palm strike; any number of them would perish.

At that moment, Bing Ruolan’s grey cloak suddenly billowed. Her body erupted with a dazzling Seven-Colored Mysterious Light that shot into the sky, forming a vibrant rainbow that enveloped the mermaid-like beauty and extended into the void.

Instantly, the mermaid-like beauty’s long blue hair whipped upwards. Her song, once like flowing water, abruptly became powerful and resonant, like the charge of armored cavalry, filled with a murderous aura.

WHOOSH...

With Bing Ruolan at its center, a colossal whirlpool suddenly formed in the lake, encompassing its entire surface.

"This is..."

A flicker of surprise crossed Luo Feng’s eyes. He sensed an incredibly potent Demon Qi emanating from beneath the lake. Compared to it, the Water Kui gold python was like a mere star to the brilliant moon.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

As the Yuan Qi palm slammed down, Luo Feng felt his blood boil, and blood began to trickle from his mouth and nose.

Just as everyone believed Luo Feng’s doom was sealed, the next moment, a terrifying roar erupted from the whirlpool in the lake, piercing the heavens.

ROAR!

A colossal water column, tens of zhang thick, shot into the sky.

BOOM!

The water column smashed into the Yuan Qi palm, creating a deafening explosion. They ground against each other, annihilating one another. The resulting shockwave made the surrounding space tremble, as if it might shatter at any moment.

Finally, the Yuan Qi palm reached its limit and exploded, unleashing a torrential downpour over Phoenix Soaring Mountain.

"What!"

The Azure Cloud Marquis’s face drained of color; he was so stunned that he froze for an instant.

Then, the water in the lake began to surge back into the center of the whirlpool. The water level rapidly receded, revealing an immense figure. A terrifying Demon Qi surged skyward, even forming an ominous, chilling wind that sent shivers down everyone’s spines.

"That’s...!"

Yue Chongshan, who had been about to attack the Azure Cloud Marquis, froze. He stared at the figure emerging from the lake, his face a mask of disbelief.

It wasn’t just him. Yang Dingtian, the two Tiger Shark Guards from the Nangong family, Chi Wei on the shore, Young Master Nangong, the Second Prince, and the Crown Prince—everyone was utterly dumbfounded.

As the water level continued to drop, the figure of a giant turtle appeared at the heart of the whirlpool.

The colossal turtle stood nearly ten zhang tall. Its black carapace resembled a small mountain, and its head was enormous, making up almost a third of its body. It opened its massive maw and, with a gentle inhalation, the thousand-zhang-wide lake instantly sank several meters.

"The Devouring Yuan Giant Turtle! How is this possible?!"

The nearby Martial Artists were profoundly shaken by the sudden appearance of the giant turtle, their faces etched with horror.

"This can’t be real! The Devouring Yuan Giant Turtle has only ever been sighted in the abyssal depths of the North Sea. How could it suddenly appear here?"

"Judging by that Demon Qi, it’s definitely the Devouring Yuan Giant Turtle!"

"The Devouring Yuan Giant Turtle can swallow seas and shatter mountains! If it goes berserk, the entire Phoenix Soaring Mountain will be destroyed!"

"The most powerful Demon Beast in Phoenix Soaring Lake should only be a sixth-level Demon Beast. How did the Devouring Yuan Giant Turtle get here?!"

Gasps rippled across Phoenix Soaring Mountain. Everyone stared, transfixed, at the behemoth in the lake, their eyes glinting with terror.

The Azure Cloud Marquis was equally aghast. The Devouring Yuan Giant Turtle was a ferocious beast from the depths of the North Sea, rumored to possess strength rivaling True Yuan Realm experts. He had only heard tales; this was his first time witnessing it.

Frowning slightly, the Azure Cloud Marquis glanced at Luo Feng. If I don’t kill him today, once he enters Linglong Hall, I’ll never get another chance!

A murderous glint flashed in his eyes. The Azure Cloud Marquis decided to end things quickly.

He took a step forward, his Yuan Qi surging wildly. His right hand made a grasping motion, and a green spear, several zhang long and wreathed in purple lightning that made the air crackle, instantly materialized.

"Die!"

Locking onto Luo Feng’s position, the Azure Cloud Marquis hurled the spear. Air shattered in its wake as a streak of cyan-purple light shot downwards, moving too fast for the eye to follow.

In this attack, the Azure Cloud Marquis used his full strength; a single strike was enough to pierce through a hundred-zhang precipitous peak.

Above the lake, Bing Ruolan tilted her head slightly. Her slender, jade-like index finger pointed towards the Azure Cloud Marquis, a sliver of icy coldness flashing in her seven-colored, glaze-like pupils.

ROAR!

Simultaneously, a terrifying roar thundered as the Devouring Yuan Giant Turtle opened its massive mouth and inhaled sharply.

WHOOSH!

A violent gale suddenly swept across Phoenix Soaring Mountain, sending sand and stones flying. The airflow of the entire area formed a gigantic vortex, funneling into the Devouring Yuan Giant Turtle’s mouth. Trees on the mountainside were uprooted, and the other Martial Artists hastily deployed their Protective Gang Energy to keep their footing.

CRACK! CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!

The Yuan Qi spear, originally aimed at Luo Feng, suddenly decelerated. Then, with a SWOOSH, it was sucked into the Devouring Yuan Giant Turtle’s mouth.

The Azure Cloud Marquis was momentarily stunned. At that instant, the Demon Qi around the Devouring Yuan Giant Turtle roiled, its eyes blazing with ferocity, and it opened its enormous mouth once more.

WHOOSH!

A jet of water nearly ten zhang thick shot out. Within it, a faint cyan-purple light could be seen—it was the Yuan Qi spear the Azure Cloud Marquis had just thrown.

The Azure Cloud Marquis’s expression changed drastically. He hurriedly tried to use Qinggong to dodge.

However, the water jet was faster.

BANG!

The water jet slammed into his Protective Gang Energy. The Yuan Qi spear within it pierced straight through the Gang Qi, exiting through the Azure Cloud Marquis’s left chest.

PUFF!

The Azure Cloud Marquis coughed up a large mouthful of blood. The excruciating pain contorted his features as he stared in horror at the Devouring Yuan Giant Turtle in the lake.

Only then did he truly comprehend the Devouring Yuan Giant Turtle’s power; it was far beyond anything he could withstand.

"I am the Azure Cloud Marquis, one of the six King Marquis personally ennobled by His Majesty the Emperor! You dare kill me? If you kill me, you are also doomed! No matter where you flee, to the ends of the earth, you will surely die!"

Barely suppressing the blood rising in his throat, the Azure Cloud Marquis frantically channeled the Yuan Qi in his body, attempting to flee into the distance. His gaze fixed on the figure shrouded in the Seven-Colored Mysterious Light as he blustered, his voice betraying his inner fear.

"Kill him."

A light, ethereal voice drifted from beneath the cloak.

The next moment, a terrifying roar sounded as the Devouring Yuan Giant Turtle opened its massive mouth and inhaled sharply.

RUMBLE...

A sound like rolling thunder reverberated throughout Phoenix Soaring Mountain. Before everyone’s astonished eyes, the space around the Azure Cloud Marquis began to collapse, inch by inch.

"Damn it!"

The Azure Cloud Marquis’s eyes bulged. He desperately circulated his Yuan Qi, trying to escape.

CRACK!

The air suddenly compressed. The Protective Gang Energy around the Azure Cloud Marquis cracked, then shattered completely. With a bloodcurdling scream, his figure was drawn into the Devouring Yuan Giant Turtle’s mouth, vanishing without a trace, like a drop in the ocean.

After swallowing the Azure Cloud Marquis, the Devouring Yuan Giant Turtle’s massive form gradually sank beneath the water.

A few moments later, the last ripple faded, and the water’s surface grew calm once more, as if nothing had happened.

PUFF!

The Seven-Colored Mysterious Light shattered at the same instant. The petite figure coughed up a mouthful of blood and plummeted downwards.
