Chapter 77 -77 Ice and Fire Turtle Refining_1
Just as Chu Liang was about to speak with Steward Cui, an old man with a slow gait walked into the courtyard.
He wore a brown robe, hunched over severely, had a head full of white hair that was so sparse it was almost absent, giving him an exceedingly aged appearance. His walking was slow, so slow that it induced impatience, yet his steps were steady and strong, unlike an elderly person’s shuffle.
Such a beggar-like old man shouldn’t ordinarily be seen in the backyard of the Li Family Village, and it was unknown how he had managed to walk in step by step.
Anyone seeing him in the village would probably find it strange, yet strangely enough, there was only a fish in the courtyard.
Liu Xiaoyu looked at the strange old man, blinking her eyes, and asked, “Bald old man, are you here to bring me something to eat?”
“Hehehe…” the old man let out a wizened laugh then lifted his head, “Yes, little girl, I can’t go on anymore, can you help me?”
Unsuspecting, Liu Xiaoyu walked over and held onto the old man’s elbow.
Unexpectedly, the old man stretched out his other hand and grabbed Liu Xiaoyu’s arm tightly, smiling ominously. “I’ve finally got you.”
“Huh?” Liu Xiaoyu looked at him puzzled, supported him a couple of times and then asked, “Bald old man, what are you doing?”
“Little girl, do you recognize me?”
The old man smirked revealing his aged face to suddenly swell and stretch, his neck protruding more than a foot out, forming an ugly and smooth head, its fangs sharp!
It was the head of a turtle!
Liu Xiaoyu was initially surprised, then recognized its original form. “You are that nasty turtle monster!”
“Hehehe…” the old turtle let out a few eerie laughs, “you two little fishes ate up the Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure that I painstakingly nurtured over the years, and you thought you could run away easily? As long as I eat you, my Amber Cinnabar and Flying Fish Spirit will be accounted for…”
As it spoke, it opened its huge mouth, ready to swallow Liu Xiaoyu whole!
“Ah…” Liu Xiaoyu screamed. Though she had the Flying Fish Spirit in her, she was firmly held by the old man and could not break free.
At the critical moment, a voice rang out, “Stop!”
A burst of green light flew toward Liu Xiaoyu, instantly wrapping her into a big bundle like a dumpling. This was the second time the little girl was enveloped by the Green Leaf Magical Instrument. But this time, it saved her life.
Boom—
Crack crack—
The old turtle bit down on the Green Leaf Magical Instrument, its teeth grinding and producing a piercing, metallic sound.
After grinding its teeth for a while and realizing it was fruitless, it finally lifted its head in frustration, its round eyes filled with rage, glaring at the person who had just arrived.
It was Chu Liang, who had hurried back after receiving a signal from the Beheading Red Famous Sword.
The demon in front of him was the source of the Beheading Red Famous Sword’s anger. This old turtle was full of resentment and deep in sin!
“Youngster… you are a Cultivator, but this little girl is a monster too. It’s not your place to interfere in our monster affairs, is it?” the old turtle said ominously.
“She is just an innocent little fish, and this land belongs to the Human Clan. If you intend to commit murder here, I cannot agree,” Chu Liang replied resolutely.
“Innocent?” The old turtle’s voice suddenly became sharp, “You’re saying she’s innocent?”
“Do you have any idea how hard I worked to cultivate the Amber Cinnabar in Qin Nan River for over a hundred years? Do you know how many lifebloods I used to help the Amber Cinnabar mature prematurely?”
“My original plan was to eat the larger one when it matures after five hundred years, then spend some more time to nurture the smaller one. If I could eat both, I would have a Dao cultivated over a thousand years, and could directly attain Dao and become a person!”
The old turtle was furious, and Chu Liang was secretly in awe.
No wonder it was full of resentment and could provoke the anger of the Beheading Red Famous Sword. Using the blood of innocent creatures to hasten the maturation of Amber Cinnabar, who knows how many innocent beings it had killed. The frequent cases of people falling into the river in recent years in the Qin Nan River area were mostly likely connected to it.
It seemed that today, it was crucial that the old turtle did not escape.
“But just a day before I was about to harvest the Amber Cinnabar, these two fishes somehow found their way to the cave and ate up all of my Amber Cinnabar!”
“When I discovered this, I tried to eat them right away, but they escaped. That would have been tolerable, but soon after, they fled into the Water Mansion that I had long set my sights on.”
The Flying Fish Spirit in that Water Mansion had been growing for hundreds of years. I was just about to merge with it when she swooped in and stole it!”
“I’m a turtle spirit, and it took me several days to get here on land. Do you know what that feels like? For hundreds of years, I’ve been dreaming of increasing my speed and transforming into a creature that can move at a normal pace with the help of the Flying Fish Spirit.”
“Ah…”
Even now when he spoke about it, the old turtle was indescribably angry.
The more Chu Liang listened to the turtle’s pain and anger, the more he could empathize with it.
It felt like when you’re serenading a birthday song, making a lot of wishes, and the moment you open your eyes, your candles are already blown by someone else. The pent-up feeling in your throat is too hard for you to swallow or spit out. Wouldn’t be surprising if one turns into a zombie right on the spot.
Especially considering that he had been holding his breath for several hundred years.
“If you dare to obstruct me, I’ll swallow you too!” The old turtle became hysterical, giving out an angry roar, “You might be able to protect her, but can you protect yourself as well?”
Having spoken, it took a step and charged towards Chu Liang.
One step, two steps, three steps, four steps…
After a while, it had moved a distance of one zhang.
“…” A trace of sympathy appeared in Chu Liang’s eyes, prompting him to say, “Old man, with how slow we’re moving, how about we stop coming ashore to fight? I’ll draw a circle here. You can walk towards this while I go for lunch. When I come back, I will still be standing here, not taking a single step. If you can reach here by then, we can start fighting.”
“Waaaah…” The old turtle was chafed to the extreme of indignity, this taunt had really prodded its sore spot. If it weren’t for its sluggishness on land, it wouldn’t be so desperate to claim the Flying Fish Spirit.
In the throes of its rage, it twisted its body and transformed back to its original form!
Boom.
A massive, towering old turtle materialized in the courtyard, nearly filling up the yard with its colossal form!
Even among the Giant Demons, there were hardly any that would dare to completely reveal their true form on the Human Clan’s turf, because in doing so, their demonic aura would be fully exposed, capable of alerting cultivators even several miles away.
But at this point, it had no regard for such things. It just wanted to kill the cultivator before it and then devour the dumpling stuffed with fish meat!
“Rawr.”
The enormous turtle let out a bellow, reared its neck back and discharged a sable beam from its mouth!
Upon witnessing the scene, Chu Liang didn’t hesitate, he summoned the Beheading Red Famous Sword from the space in the White Pagoda, brandishing it triumphantly—this Justice Sword was also filled to the brim with fury.
Shssssh.
As the Beheading Red Famous Sword rose into the sky, ringing out with harsh metallic notes, it carved out an afterimage of rippling sword aura, transforming into two runes which were fired off with a flick of its sword qi.
The Ice-Fire Dual Talisman Sword!
Although within the Talisman Sword Technique, Dual Talisman Sword is merely a fundamental skill, when performed with the Beheading Red Famous Sword, the Hundred Swords Technique could transform into the Ten Thousand Swords Technique. This Ice-Fire Dual Talisman Sword, though considered a low-level technique, boasts an amplified power a hundredfold stronger due to this phenomenon.
Rumble.
The sword was drawn and the world echoed with rolling roars of thunder, an icy white dragon as well as a fire-red dragon twisted and curled into a tornado column with two colors. They roared and barked, shaking the air around them!
The old turtle released a sable beam from its mouth which collided with the Sword Qi Tornado and got obliterated instantly. In the blink of an eye, the Sword Qi Tornado broke through the defense, furiously hurling towards the massive turtle.
Realizing its peril, the turtle swiftly retracted its head and limbs. With a thundering smash, the enormous shell crashed onto the ground and sealed itself up.
A Hidey Tortoise!
This turtle shell had been its assurance for surviving in Qin Nan River for so many years, remaining indestructible against all opponents.
No one had ever breached its defense!
Yet today it encountered Chu Liang’s super-amplified Ice-Fire Dual Talisman Sword.
Shh-
The Sword Qi Tornado struck the turtle shell, the Frost-giant dragon and the Flame-giant dragon were whirling around, their mighty power roared in, like divine punishment!
The intermittent ice and fire, the ultimate defense breaker.
Boom-
After a moment of standstill, the Sword Qi Tornado penetrated into the turtle shell’s defense, heading straight towards the retracted turtle head.
Ice!

Fire!
Unceasing detonation!
No turtle head in the world would withstand such brutality. Swiftly, as its black blood drained abundantly like a jetting stream, it turned into a shell of its former self after being frozen by the frost then vaporized by the intense flames, leaving only a dry skeleton that collapsed weakly.
Ice-Fire Torment Turtle Head
The battle ended in a moment.
Leaving only emtiness behind.
