Chapter 3144: The Dragon Intoxicating Pill (One)
At this moment, the dragon turtle suddenly opened its gaping mouth. In a single motion and with lightning speed, it swallowed the corpse of the Xuanhuang beast that Shangguan Mu’er had tossed out.
That clearly was not the end. As soon as it swallowed the corpse, the dragon turtle’s colossal eyeballs immediately swivelled over to Shangguan Mu’er.
In the instant the dragon turtle looked at her, Shangguan Mu’er felt like she had lost her breath. An invisible pressure enveloped her. The pressure was so great that it felt like a towering mountain pressing firmly against her back, immobilising her.
After all, that was a terrifying pressure equivalent to a Third Heavenly Layer Grand Prime. With Shangguan Mu’er’s strength as an Infinite Prime, she obviously seemed extremely feeble before this pressure.
Shangguan Mu’er was stern, but she did not panic at all inside, as she had anticipated this exact situation.
Basically as soon as the dragon turtle emerged with its head, Shangguan Mu’er covertly began casting the secret technique.
At the same time, the dragon turtle launched its attack. Its colossal body that formed the small island was still, but its neck elongated all of a sudden, opening its mouth and biting towards Shangguan Mu’er with indescribably great speed.
On top of that, its colossal mouth produced a terrifying suction force that seemed capable of swallowing the world, pulling Shangguan Mu’er uncontrollably towards its mouth.
They were both at the Primordial realm, but the difference in strength was like a great gulf. Before the dragon turtle of startling power, Shangguan Mu’er could not fight back at all.
In a short moment, the dragon turtle’s colossal mouth had arrived near Shangguan Mu’er.
However, right when Shangguan Mu’er was about to be sucked in, she erupted with dazzling light. She broke free from all of the restraints instantly and shot off into the distance like a resplendent meteor.
The speed she demonstrated was unmatched. She could traverse billions of kilometres in an instant as if no power could stop her.
The dragon turtle was already alarmingly fast, but it was as slow as a snail compared to the speed that Shangguan Mu’er had erupted with through her secret technique. They were on two completely different levels.
The dragon turtle missed. It was evidently surprised as if it could not understand how the food right by its mouth had abruptly vanished. However, it clearly would not think too much about this with its limited intelligence. After shaking its head, it shrank back again, producing a splash and vanishing from the surface of the lake.
The Xuanhuang spiritual fluid in the lake seemed to block off one’s presence. When the dragon turtle vanished back into the lakewater, its presence vanished completely, with absolutely nothing left.
Perhaps only other Xuanhuang beasts could detect the dragon turtle hiding here through their natural senses.
Jian Chen was not in a hurry to leave. He remained where he was for a while longer, waiting until the lakewater completely settled down. Only then did he carefully back away.
After he had pulled a certain distance away from the lake, he finally unleashed his full speed, heading in the direction that Shangguan Mu’er had fled in as quickly as he could.
He had become drenched in cold sweat a long time ago as he secretly rejoiced. This time, if it were not for Shangguan Mu’er who proactively undertook the task of luring out the dragon turtle, he would have done it instead. The dragon turtle really might have swallowed him in a single gulp, dooming him for good.
The dragon turtle moved far too quickly. Unable to use any laws, he was completely incapable of dodging the dragon turtle’s attacks.
Even fusing the swords would not work, as he had absolutely no time to charge up!
“Mu’er, hold on. I can’t let anything happen to you.” Jian Chen was anxious inside. He flew over a series of mountains and shot towards a grassland, speeding towards Shangguan Mu’er. He was absolutely worried.
After all, Shangguan Mu’er did not possess the Chaotic Body. She had just used the secret technique, so she was in an extremely feeble state right now. Her battle prowess was basically non-existent. It was even possible for her to be completely incapacitated.
If she encountered any Xuanhuang beasts in this state, she would be in danger.
Shangguan Mu’er did possess a mid grade God Tier Twin-headed Lotus, but Twin-headed Lotuses could not heal injuries instantly. It also required a period of time.
“Quickly, quickly, quickly!” Jian Chen had never felt so frantic before. Along the way, he encountered a few extremely rare heavenly resources, but he could not be bothered with picking them anymore.
After travelling at full speed for a good moment, Jian Chen finally approached Shangguan Mu’er’s location. It was already the outskirts of the inner world of the Xuanhuang Microcosm. The Xuanhuang beasts active here were mostly just Deities and Gods.
Jian Chen eased up slightly inside. He knew that even if Shangguan Mu’er was extremely feeble, she could not be so weak that she was helpless against even Deity and God Xuanhuang beasts.
He soared through the air. A familiar, violet figure finally appeared before his eyes in the distance.
Only when he saw the figure did Jian Chen’s heart finally settle down.
Very soon, he arrived before Shangguan Mu’er. Over a dozen Deity and God Xuanhuang beast corpses lay in the surroundings. Clearly, she had killed them.
By now, Shangguan Mu’er had already ingested the Twin-headed Lotus. She sat on the ground and healed silently. Evidently, she had sensed Jian Chen’s approach. Her long eyelashes trembled gently, but as if she had recognised Jian Chen, she never opened her eyes. Instead, she sank deeper into her current state so that she could heal.
Jian Chen simply sat down before Shangguan Mu’er. He stared in a daze at Shangguan Mu’er’s sheet-white face. All he felt was piercing pain in his heart, filled with guilt and self-blame.
He was the reason why Shangguan Mu’er had ended up like this. If it were not for his desire to obtain the Xuanhuang spiritual fluid, she would not have had to go through all of this, luring out the dragon turtle in his place and ending up like this.
Jian Chen simply sat quietly before Shangguan Mu’er, staring straight at her without batting an eye.
Several days later, Shangguan Mu’er recovered from her wounds. The first thing she said when she opened her eyes was a question regarding the dragon turtle’s strength.
“The dragon turtle should be around the Third Heavenly Layer of Grand Prime. It’s not impossible for me to kill it after fusing the swords, except the greatest issue is I don’t have the time to fuse them,” said Jian Chen.
Shangguan Mu’er furrowed her brows as well. A Third Heavenly Layer Grand Prime was indeed undefeatable to them. They were not even capable of keeping the dragon turtle busy for a moment.
The dragon turtle could basically kill them instantly. How could they still fight back?
“I need to find a way to keep the dragon turtle busy for fifteen seconds. I need fifteen seconds to charge up the fusion of the twin swords.” Jian Chen furrowed his brows and sank deep into his thoughts.
