Chapter 107 Preparing to Freeze Hands, Two Old Men

“Amitabha, what a coincidence to meet two benefactors again.”

Lianchen chanted Buddhist mantras and walked over with a faint smile from not far away.

The moment they saw the fat monk, both the man and the tortoise's faces darkened.

Without a doubt, those Five Elements Fruits were definitely stolen by that fat monk!

"Damn it, why is that bald monk always haunting me...?"

The green-haired turtle cursed under its breath and demanded with a hostile expression, "Fat monk, I know you took it. Return the Five Elements Fruit now!"

“The turtle benefactor is talking nonsense again. This humble monk did not take any Five Elements Fruit.”

Lianchen looked at it with a smile.

"Don't try to fool me. Who else here, besides you, could have such abilities?"

The green-haired tortoise grew angrier the more it thought about it, and walked over with its eyes blazing with fury. "Hand over the Five Elements Fruit right now, or this isn't over!"

Seeing that the green-haired turtle was about to start a fight...

Li Wudao's expression changed slightly. He quickly stepped forward and grabbed its bald tail, advising, "Never mind... never mind, Brother Turtle, just bear with it."

"No, I can't stand it anymore. If I keep this up, I'll really become a coward."

The green-haired turtle was very defiant and shouted, "Kid, let go right now! Today, I'm going to teach him a lesson!"

"........"

Upon seeing this, Li Wudao's lips twitched slightly.

No, this turtle can't tell who's the king and who's the queen?

This fat monk is a top expert who can roam freely in the Sword Ruins. How dare it? Who gave it the courage?

Aren't you afraid that the other party might smash the turtle shell in a fit of anger...?

Damn it, this green-haired turtle is looking for death, he doesn't want to die.

Thinking of this, he sighed and decisively let go.

Immediately, he frowned and stepped back.

"Turtle Benefactor, didn't you want to teach this poor monk a lesson? Why don't you make a move?"

Lian Chen narrowed her eyes, her smile growing even wider.

"???"

Sensing something amiss, the green-haired turtle abruptly stopped, turned to look at the boy, caught in a dilemma, its face visibly grim.

Damn, this brat has no sense of propriety at all; he doesn't even know how to cooperate with it.

"Hmph, a gentleman uses words, not fists. You fat man are far too vulgar."

The green-haired turtle rolled its eyes and coughed lightly, "Um... I suddenly remembered I have something to do, so I'll be going now. We'll fight again next time."

Having said that, it suddenly transformed into a black shadow and darted away in an instant.

"I think I have something to attend to as well, so I must go now. Farewell, Master."

Li Wudao chuckled dryly, then dashed off with lightning speed.

"It should be them, but... who exactly is the destined one the Pavilion Master spoke of?"

The fat monk stood there, staring blankly at the departing figures of the man and the tortoise, a thoughtful expression on his face.

.........

In the distance, the man and the tortoise ran for more than ten miles before gradually coming to a stop.

"Damn it, what were you thinking? You almost got me killed!"

The green-haired turtle was panting heavily, baring its teeth.

"Heh, you're asking for trouble and you want to drag me down with you?"

Li Wudao sneered; he wouldn't take the blame.

"You... never mind, just get out of here. I never want to see that bald monk again!"

The green-haired turtle opened its mouth wide, seemingly about to bite but then stopped, and walked forward with a gloomy expression.

Behind him, Li Wudao watched its retreating figure, his brows gradually furrowing.

From the moment the fat monk intercepted the first batch of Lingquan Jade Marrow, he felt something was off. How could it be such a coincidence that they met?

This time, just as they were about to make their move, the fat monk appeared "at just the right time," the timing was far too precise.

"Could it be for some so-called Buddhist treasure?"

Li Wudao pondered silently.

According to the fat monk, the green-haired turtle seemed to possess the aura of a Buddhist treasure, which fits the motive.

There was just one thing he couldn't understand.

Given the opponent's strength, they could probably suppress the green-haired turtle with a mere wave of their hand. Why go through all that trouble?

Or does this fat monk have some kind of peculiar fetish?

After much thought, I still couldn't come up with a solution, so I had to give up in the end.

A few days later, the man and the tortoise trekked through mountains and rivers and arrived at a narrow mountain stream.

The cliffs in this ravine are towering thousands of feet high, the rock faces are pitch black and covered with frost, and the temperature is frighteningly low.

"Achoo, it's so cold—"

The green-haired turtle shivered, glancing at Li Wudao as it walked, and asked in bewilderment:

"Wait a minute, it's been so many days, how come you're still jumping around like this?"

It was filled with suspicion and couldn't figure it out.

Even though Li Wudao possessed the Pure Yang Holy Body, his cultivation level was low, and his essence and blood should have been completely devoured by the rules of the forbidden area long ago.

But upon closer inspection, it discovered that the boy's breathing was steady and his complexion was rosy, showing no signs of weakness whatsoever!

Hearing this, Li Wudao glared at it irritably, "You turtle can live a good life, so why can't I?"

"This is weird, you definitely have a secret on you!"

The green-haired turtle stared intently at him, trying to discern something.

"Roar!"

Just then, a series of tremors came from the depths of the mountain stream, accompanied by the roar of some ferocious beast.

"what sound?"

Li Wudao's expression changed slightly.

"That's the roar of the Ice Scale Serpent. It sounds angry, so it must be in trouble."

The green-haired tortoise frowned.

"Shall we continue exploring?"

Li Wudao was somewhat undecided.

The Xuanbing Scale Serpent is a sixth-order great demon, comparable to a human Martial Venerable. Even it has encountered a formidable foe, indicating that the danger ahead is immense.

To his astonishment,

After thinking for a moment, the green-haired turtle stubbornly rushed in.

“Keep going! If I’m not mistaken, they are vying for some kind of opportunity.”

"A chance opportunity, are you sure?"

"I'm at least 70% sure. The Ice Scale Serpent is a lone wolf, cunning by nature, and generally doesn't fight unless it encounters an opportunity it can't let go of..."

Half an incense stick later, the man and the tortoise arrived deep in the mountain stream and hid far away behind a large rock to watch the battle.

Ahead, a giant serpent ten zhang long coiled on the ice, its entire body covered in dark blue scales. Its head was triangular and cone-shaped, constantly flicking its tongue, exuding a violent aura.

Not far away, a giant wolf, three zhang tall, stood facing each other. Its fur stood up like steel needles, crackling with purple-gold arcs of electricity. A blood-red vertical pupil appeared on its forehead, making it look eerie and awe-inspiring.

However, the two great demons were in poor condition at the moment, each suffering considerable injuries, with blood everywhere.

"A sixth-tier high-level demonic beast, a three-eyed thunder wolf!"

The green-haired turtle recognized it at a glance, and then, out of the corner of its eye, its eyes lit up with joy.

"As expected, I was right!"

Behind the two demonic beasts, a black lotus rooted itself in the center of the ice, its entire body exuding a faint black mist. Each petal had vein-like patterns, making it extremely eerie.

The Taiyin Lotus, a seventh-grade sacred medicine, is born in an extremely yin place and contains countless yin energies, hence its name.

"I can't believe I've actually seen this miraculous medicine in real life..."

Li Wudao clicked his tongue in amazement.

There are many strange legends about this lotus.

Some say the Taiyin Lotus comes from the Avici Hell, and those who touch it will recall the scene of their near-death experience in their previous life. Others say they will fall into the Nine Netherworlds and confront their most terrifying memories.

The greatest effect of this lotus is to nourish the soul. It is an extremely rare treasure for the soul, and it is a priceless treasure that is hard to find even for demonic beasts. It can enlighten and give rise to wisdom.

"Don't rush in. Let them fight to the death, and then we can reap the benefits."

The green-haired turtle's eyes gleamed with a hint of smugness.

"I didn't expect you, you turtle, to be so intelligent."

Li Wudao looked at it with some surprise; this time, it was unusually not reckless.

"That is......"

The green-haired turtle nodded approvingly, then immediately realized something was wrong and glared at him fiercely, "Kid, what do you mean? You actually doubt that I'm brainless?"

Just as they were arguing,

The Xuanbing Scale Serpent and the Three-Eyed Thunder Wolf had reached a fever pitch in their battle. Blood splattered everywhere, and endless ice mist and lightning clashed, shaking the earth and destroying everything within a hundred meters.

In the end, the Ice Scale Serpent, with its massive size, gained a slight advantage and managed to kill the Three-Eyed Thunder Wolf with great difficulty.

But it was extremely weak at this moment, its whole body was covered in blood, its once smooth scales were dull and lifeless, and its body was about to collapse.

"Get ready to attack! Get ready to attack!"

The green-haired turtle cried out excitedly and rushed forward impatiently.

Seeing this, Li Wudao also ran out happily.

"Haha, I'm the sixth one!"
