Chapter 97 The Green-Haired Turtle is Having an Existential Question

"You're so weak after just a couple of movements, are you even capable...?"

Li Wudao glanced at the green-haired tortoise suspiciously, wondering if it was hiding its true strength.

"Hey kid, how dare you talk like that!"

The green-haired turtle was indignant and glared at him, "If you're so capable, then come at me. I want to see what tricks you have up your sleeve."

Li Wudao smiled without saying a word, offering no rebuttal.

Immediately, he strode towards the boy in red, his face full of eagerness.

"I wonder how my physical strength compares to that of this young zombie king?"

After the previous probing, Li Wudao suddenly felt a surge of curiosity and wanted to compete with the other party in body refining skills.

As he pondered,

The red-clad youth had already rushed over, his hair disheveled, half his body stained with blood, his face contorted in a ferocious expression, exuding an astonishing aura of death, his fangs bared as he lunged forward, like a vengeful ghost appearing in the world.

"The little thing is so cute!"

Li Wudao was startled by this "stunning beauty," and after realizing what was happening, he kicked her.

"boom!"

In an instant, a powerful force erupted from his toes, slamming directly into the red-clad youth's chin, sending him flying and rolling on the ground more than a dozen times before stopping.

Soon, the boy in red stood up, shook his disheveled head, and acted as if nothing had happened.

"This guy's physical body is comparable to Vajra, incorruptible and indestructible. You can't hurt it at all, you'll only wear yourself down."

Not far away, the green-haired turtle activated its fountain command mode.

"His physical body is comparable to Vajra...?"

Li Wudao stood tall, his calm face masking a fleeting glint of something unusual in his eyes.

With his current physical strength, a full-force attack would be incredibly powerful, capable of shattering even a Heaven-rank spiritual weapon. He truly has nothing to fear from his opponent.

That kick just now only had 40% of its force; the outcome is still uncertain.

"Roar--"

Just then, the boy in red roared and mechanically twisted his neck, making cracking sounds.

He hunched over, leaning forward with his arms hanging limply. His aura grew increasingly cold, with wisps of black mist emanating from him, like a maddened beast, utterly enraged.

next moment,

The boy in red trembled, the ground beneath his feet caved in, leaving an afterimage and stirring up a gust of cold wind.

In the blink of an eye, it appeared behind Li Wudao, its figure ghostly, raising its sharp claws to slash at the boy's back.

"So fast... Kid, get out of the way!"

The green-haired turtle cried out in alarm; the young zombie king was so fast that even it couldn't see him clearly.

Despite this warning, Li Wudao remained standing still, seemingly oblivious.

"Slow...too slow."

Li Wudao murmured softly, just as the red-clad youth's claws were only a step away from him.

Without moving his feet, he grabbed the other person's wrist with precise accuracy.

He then suddenly exerted force, executing an over-the-shoulder throw that slammed the man into the ground, the force so great that it shook the mine shaft.

Under the illumination of his double pupils, nothing can hide from him, and this ability was further enhanced after he broke through to the Martial Grandmaster level.

To outsiders, the red-clad zombie king's speed was so fast it left afterimages, but to him, it was no different from a snail's pace, something he could easily handle.

"Holy crap, this..."

The green-haired turtle was dumbfounded, its bald tail standing tall in disbelief.

Li Wudao hadn't moved an inch, yet he was able to strike back and, at the last possible moment, see through the red-clad youth's attack and launch a counterattack. How outrageous was that?!

"Those eyes..."

Suddenly, it noticed the change in the boy and asked in surprise and doubt, "Is it a pupil technique or is heterochromia a natural trait?!"

At this moment, a pair of purple pupils appeared out of nowhere in Li Wudao's eyes, spiraling in shape, their purple glow hazy, eerie and indifferent, making people afraid to look directly at them.

Staring at the boy's heterochromatic eyes,

The green-haired turtle, quick-witted, thought of many secrets and was greatly shocked. He muttered to himself, "Wait, purple double pupils... how come they look so much like the legendary ancient double pupils?"

Immediately, it shook its head, realizing it must have made a mistake.

Double pupils are a rare talent, one that has appeared only a handful throughout countless eras. It is a gift that even ancient emperors envied, a destiny bestowed upon them by immortality, destined to make them invincible for an era.

In ancient times, a being with double pupils appeared. When he attained the Dao and became an emperor, he alone suppressed the entire continent, preventing it from turning over for ten thousand years. Thus, the name "Ancient Double Pupils" spread throughout the world.

"boom!"

Suddenly, the sounds of fierce fighting erupted from inside the mine, dust filled the air, and debris flew everywhere.

The green-haired turtle looked up, speechless with astonishment.

At this moment, Li Wudao and the red-clothed youth were locked in a fierce battle, exchanging blows with deafening force.

Two completely different auras rose up and constantly clashed.

One was radiating heat, like a moving furnace, exuding a powerful aura of blood; the other was chillingly cold, as if emerging from the depths of hell, with black mist raging around it.

"Oh my god, is this true?!"

The green-haired turtle raised its neck, froze on the spot, and could not calm down.

What did it see?

How could a mere novice at the early stage of the Martial Grandmaster realm, fighting bare-handed against a Corpse King with skin of copper and bones of iron, actually manage to hold his own and even gradually gain the upper hand?!

"Damn, could this kid really be a descendant of some kind of ferocious beast?"

The green-haired turtle secretly grumbled, astonished by the boy's powerful physique.

"No, this blood energy is so pure and fiery... How come it's so similar to the legendary Pure Yang Holy Body?"

Suddenly, the green-haired turtle sensed something was wrong, muttered to itself, and looked somewhat depressed.

No way. Although the Pure Yang Holy Body is not as rare as the ancient double pupils, it is still quite rare. It's unlikely that it would happen to encounter it.

Thinking of this, it shook its head again, preferring to doubt that it had seen wrong.

at the same time,

Li Wudao completely gained the upper hand, fighting with increasing ferocity, causing the red-clad youth to retreat steadily, his vast blood energy suppressing the black mist and causing it to continuously dissipate.

Even so, it was still difficult to kill him.

The Corpse King's vitality was too tenacious, as if it never tired, and it could quickly pounce again after each time it was knocked down.

"This guy seems to be out of his mind..."

Not far away, the green-haired turtle narrowed its eyes, as if it had thought of something, and quickly shouted, "I'll subdue him, you attack his head!"

Before it could finish speaking, it breathlessly manipulated the golden coffin, pressing down on the young corpse king.

"Om-"

The golden coffin radiated a powerful aura, instantly forcing him to kneel on the ground, unable to move.

Although Li Wudao did not understand, he knew the importance of it. He stopped honing his skills and directly drew his longsword, unleashing the Pure Yang Sword Intent.

"Keng!"

A melodious sword cry rang out, and a golden sword light flashed out, instantly illuminating the dim cave, as if the sun had descended, warm and scorching.

"Click——"

The sound of skull shattering echoed, and the sword light arrived in an instant, piercing through the young corpse king's head with overwhelming force.

A moment later, its blood-red pupils dimmed, and the powerful corpse aura gradually dissipated like a tide.

"It's done!"

Li Wudao's eyes lit up, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the strangeness of this zombie king still surprised him greatly. Even with its skull pierced, it still had a sliver of life left and struggled to escape.

"Chichi!"

Suddenly, a raging fire broke out at the wound where the boy in red had been pierced.

In the blink of an eye, it spread rapidly throughout the entire body, like ice and snow melting away. In just a few breaths, it burned away, leaving only bone fragments, and then there was no more movement.

"hiss--"

Li Wudao gasped, never expecting the power of the Pure Yang Sword Intent to be so domineering, even the Corpse King couldn't withstand it, and it vanished in an instant.

A thought struck him, and he suddenly realized that perhaps the Corpse King was also a kind of demon, which was why it had such a significant restraining effect.

"This is... the Pure Yang Sword Intent..."

Staring at the Corpse King burned to ashes, the Green-haired Turtle was shocked and exclaimed, "Damn, you really have a Pure Yang Holy Body!"

It took it a while to recover from its shock.

"Damn it, you've been hiding your true strength too well. If I had known you had the Pure Yang Holy Body and had even comprehended the Pure Yang Sword Intent, would I have needed to put in so much effort?"

The green-haired turtle walked forward with a displeased expression, feeling that it had been greatly wronged.

"I had no idea that Pure Yang Sword Intent had this effect..."

Li Wuyou, speaking with self-righteous indignation, looked at it with annoyance, "Besides, this thing consumes a lot of true energy, and I can't even unleash many sword strikes now."

Upon hearing this, the green-haired turtle's eyes darted around, and it said indignantly, "Hmph, because of you, I, your great master, am severely depleted of my blood and energy. What do you say we do about it?"

"What's it to me? Don't try to be unreasonable." Li Wudao frowned, sensing that the other party was up to no good.

"I don't care. Either you compensate me with ten thousand-year-old spiritual herbs, or... give me some of your essence blood. Otherwise, this matter is not over."

The green-haired turtle grumbled in dissatisfaction, but licked its lips and looked at the boy with a greedy gaze, as if he were a peerless elixir.

"Heh, dream on!"

Li Wudao smiled coldly, naturally he would not agree to it.

The next moment, his face froze, and he felt a slight pain in his calf.

"You damn turtle, let go of my mouth!"

"If you don't pay compensation, I'll bite you to death!"

"Damn it, it's either you or me today!"

.......

Before long, the battle between the man and the tortoise broke out again in the mine, with shouts and curses filling the air.

In the short time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the person and the tortoise talked a lot, including about their parents, family, past, present and future...

"Kid, if you want to get out, come with me."

The green-haired turtle spat out the sand in its mouth and walked sullenly into the depths of the mine.

Within half a day, it suffered repeated defeats at the hands of a human boy, and began to doubt its own existence.

"I just don't believe it. If you wanted to know a way out, why didn't you run out earlier?"

Li Wudao remained skeptical of its claims.
