Chapter 30: Consecutive Kills, Alarming the Iron Turtle King!

Ye Chuyun laughed heartily and decisively activated the skill of the Purple Jade Mirror.

A purple protective shield enveloped him.

Facing the relentless barrage of water arrows, he did not hesitate and charged straight into the fray.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The water arrows struck the purple shield, producing a ringing sound like metal striking metal.

The shield’s energy bar gradually diminished.

Fortunately, the shield had 1,000 energy points; after withstanding the initial wave of water arrows, it had only consumed less than 300 points.

The four great leaders charged forward as well, arriving before Ye Chuyun in moments, their aura terrifying.

Ye Chuyun was not eager to engage them directly yet. With a leap, he evaded their assault.

The four leaders, propelled by immense momentum, could not stop immediately.

Taking advantage of this, Ye Chuyun leapt directly into the iron turtle beast pack.

His plan was clear: first eliminate these thirty iron turtle beasts, cutting off the iron turtle king’s support.

Swish!

Braving the shower of water arrows, he plunged into the cluster of iron turtle beasts, his long blade flashing continuously, casting a gleam of steel light.

At this moment, his combat power was unleashed to the fullest!

Swish, swish, swish!

Clang, clang, clang!

The metallic clashing sounds intertwined with the ripping of flesh.

The iron turtle beasts struck by Ye Chuyun howled in pain.

Yet their shells remained intact, only slightly grazed.

Ye Chuyun was surprised to find their defense had increased by more than fifty percent.

Upon closer inspection, he noticed a faint blue glow emanating from their shells.

Looking over at the iron turtle king, which also radiated the same blue glow, Ye Chuyun suddenly understood.

The iron turtle king had activated the skill “Guard.”

This defensive skill enhanced the defense of all targets within a certain range.

It was an extremely useful supportive skill.

Seeing his underlings wounded, the iron turtle king roared angrily once more.

A green light descended from the sky, falling upon the injured iron turtle beasts, healing them instantly.

Goodness, the iron turtle king had unleashed another skill—“Heal.”

Ye Chuyun felt a headache coming on.

This iron turtle king was far smarter than the storm bear leader he had killed before.

Able to both support and heal.

However, as long as he could break through the iron turtle beasts’ defense, it wouldn’t be a problem.

The water arrow rain continued to fall, but the protective shield blocked them all.

In this critical moment, Ye Chuyun hurriedly took out a vial containing poison.

It was his latest concoction, twice as potent as any poison he had used before.

Without hesitation, he emptied it all, coating the Storm Blade thoroughly.

“Roar!”

At that moment, the four great leaders turned around and charged at Ye Chuyun.

He had no choice but to evade their attacks.

Activating the “Speed Amplification” skill, he increased his velocity, darting between the leaders and the iron turtle beast pack.

Thus, the fierce battle unfolded.

Ye Chuyun’s experience and swift speed made the four great leaders unable to catch him.

Of course, Ye Chuyun could not overcome the leaders either.

Whenever he attacked one, they activated their Guard skill to protect one another.

As leaders of the iron turtle beasts, their defense was naturally much higher than ordinary beasts.

With the Guard skill further increasing their defense, Ye Chuyun could only inflict minor superficial wounds that healed automatically.

But the other thirty iron turtle beasts fared far worse.

During the fight, Ye Chuyun continuously inflicted wounds on them.

Even with the iron turtle king’s healing skill, it could not cure the poison coursing through their bodies!

The iron turtle king remained oblivious to this strange phenomenon.

It didn’t even notice the diminishing number of water arrows in the sky.

Mistaking his underlings’ weakening for laziness, it scolded them furiously.

The iron turtle king looked proudly at the tiny human who kept dodging attacks.

Unable to defeat even his underlings, yet dreaming of defeating him?

Pathetic!

Then suddenly, the unexpected happened!

“Ahhh!”

Among the iron turtle beasts, one cried out in agony, black blood gushing from its wounds.

The others seemed to react in a chain, howling in pain.

Before Ye Chuyun could strike, they began vomiting blood and dying on their own.

The iron turtle king and the four great leaders were stunned.

How could their underlings suddenly be coughing up blood and dying?

[Defeated level 5 mutated iron turtle beast, gained double energy points +700.]

[Defeated level 5 iron turtle beast, gained double energy points +500.]

[Defeated level 5 mutated iron turtle beast, gained double energy points +700.]

[Defeated level 5 iron turtle beast, gained double energy points +500.]

...

The kill notifications rang out continuously.

Joy shone in Ye Chuyun’s eyes.

It seemed the poison hidden within these iron turtle beasts had taken effect.

In an instant, nearly half of them perished.

The four great leaders suddenly sensed danger.

They felt their bodies growing sluggish.

Though Ye Chuyun had only grazed their surfaces, the poison was spreading inside their bodies.

However, its progression was slower than in the iron turtle beasts.

Ye Chuyun immediately seized the moment, pressing the attack on the remaining iron turtle beasts.

Splat!

This time, the kills came easily, almost one strike per beast.

The iron turtle beasts wailed and screamed relentlessly.

From over a thousand meters away, the iron turtle king grew furious and alarmed.

It had underestimated this human’s cunning.

A despicable human, resorting to poison!

Watching his underlings die one after another before him, the iron turtle king roared and furiously thrashed its limbs, rushing forward at lightning speed!

The four great leaders, now frightened, turned and ran toward the iron turtle king, intending to regroup.

They understood one truth.

Strength lies in numbers!

“Damn it!”

Ye Chuyun’s expression changed.

He could not allow the four great leaders to join forces with the iron turtle king.

If they united, defeating either the iron turtle king or the leaders would become far more difficult.

However, the four great leaders’ defense was too strong; he could not kill them instantly.

“Looks like I have to use the spell scroll.”

Gritting his teeth, Ye Chuyun drew a first-tier spell scroll: Sea of Flames.

He had hoped to keep these scrolls as a trump card.

But if he didn’t use it now, once the leaders and the iron turtle king united, his chances of survival would plummet.

With that, he flashed forward, wildly kicking as he chased the four leaders.

Now, the distance between the four leaders and the iron turtle king was just two hundred meters.

The four leaders heard the movement behind them but kept running.

They believed this human could never break through their defenses.

Their priority was to reach their leader.

Once they were at their leader’s side, this human was as good as dead!

Yet, in the next moment—

A sea of fire descended from the sky, engulfing the four leaders in its blazing embrace!
