Chapter 689: Negotiating with the Old Turtle
"Hum!"
Xu Nian directly unleashed a sword strike.
The Sword Radiance was fierce.
In an instant, it split the island in two.
"Boom!"
The island exploded.
Rubble scattered everywhere.
However, Xu Nian did not take the situation lightly.
He saw the huge body of the Xuanwu Netherworld Turtle leap towards him.
Its sharp claws ferociously reached for Xu Nian,
seemingly capable of tearing through space itself.
"Boom!"
The Undying Devouring Sky Beast avatar instantly appeared before Xu Nian, raising its paws to meet the strike.
"Thud!"
The Undying Devouring Sky Beast avatar was sent flying out.
Like a giant stone hurled backwards,
it crashed into an island in the distance,
shattering half of the small island.
"What a powerful bastard!"
The Bull Demon King exclaimed in shock.
Xu Yu and the others were also incredibly astonished.
Xu Nian's brows were tightly furrowed.
This Xuanwu Netherworld Turtle was too strong.
Although its cultivation was suppressed, its body had been strengthened by the power of the Wanxiang Realm.
With just its bodily defense, it was not something they could contend with.
Moreover, the speed of the Xuan Turtle was not slow at all.
At this point, it was too late for them to escape.
They feared that even if they reached the entrance to this Small World, they would already be slapped dead by the massive claws of the Xuan Turtle.
In addition, the Xuan Turtle's defense was extremely terrifying.
Even all of Xu Nian's attacks might not break through the Xuan Turtle's shell.
So to speak, a head-on fight was absolutely impossible.
"Human child, you actually dared to deceive me; those two humans just now weren't your senior brother and elder at all. Do you really think I am so easily fooled?" The Xuanwu Netherworld Turtle spoke.
Its voice thunderous as thunder, mixed with anger.
Xu Nian just smiled lightly.
Although it was a bit troublesome now, seeing Duan Tianya and the Zifu Cultivator being dealt with so miserably,
he still felt a bit of satisfaction in his heart.
Although he knew that this Xuan Turtle might not have killed Duan Tianya and the Zifu Cultivator,
it must have made them suffer a lot.
Tianya and the Zifu Cultivator must certainly hate him to the bone by now.
Thinking of this, Xu Nian felt that his decision was correct.
However, the Xuanwu Netherworld Turtle in front of him was also a headache-inducing matter.
Even the Undying Devouring Sky Beast Avatar had been slapped away with one blow.
If it had taken the form of another Demon Beast, that one slap would likely have turned it into a pile of mush.
"Kid, don't try to fight the Xuanwu Netherworld Turtle head-on; you absolutely cannot be his opponent, you won't even be able to touch a single whisker of his," the voice of the Wentian Demon Sovereign resounded.
Xu Nian nodded in agreement.
The defense of the Xuanwu Netherworld Turtle was extremely powerful, and it was from the Wanxiang Realm.
Its understanding of Profound Argumentation was absolutely profound to a very terrifying degree.
Such a strong entity, even without cultivation, was still extremely fearsome.
Xu Nian did not believe he could defeat the Xuanwu Netherworld Turtle.
Even if he used the Kun Cave Power, he still might not be able to harm it.
"Senior Wentian, what should we do?" Xu Nian hurriedly sent a telepathic message.
Right now, he could only turn to Wentian Demon Sovereign for help.
"Kid, you can negotiate with the Xuan Turtle," Wentian Demon Sovereign said.
"Negotiate? How do I negotiate?" Xu Nian asked, bewildered.
He did not understand why Wentian Demon Sovereign would have him negotiate with the Xuan Turtle.
What bargaining chip did he have to negotiate with the Xuan Turtle?
"Kid, you don't know, do you? This Xuan Turtle has been stuck in this Small World for ten thousand years. Why hasn't it left? Now that the Ancient Sect is no more, what purpose does its staying serve?" Wentian Demon Sovereign's voice rang out again.
"Yeah, why?" Xu Nian was filled with confusion in his heart.
If the Xuan Turtle was so powerful, why would it be willing to remain trapped within this Small World?
"Could it be that something is binding it, preventing it from leaving?" Xu Nian guessed something and speculated.
"You're not too stupid, kid. That's right, a seal was placed on the Xuan Turtle's body, and as long as this Small World exists, it cannot leave," Wentian Demon Sovereign said.
Xu Nian revealed a look of surprise.
As long as the Small World wasn't destroyed, it would not be able to leave.
Whoever created this Small World had to be at least at the Earth Immortal Level.
And such a Small World would definitely not be something that a Wanxiang Realm Cultivator could destroy.
"Senior, do you mean that I should negotiate with it by offering to help it escape from its predicament?" Xu Nian asked incredulously.
"That's right, that's what I mean," Wentian Demon Sovereign's voice arose.
Xu Nian was even more puzzled: "But this Small World cannot be destroyed even by Wanxiang Realm powerhouses, so how could I destroy it?"
"Kid, you can't, but there is something on you that can. Have you forgotten about the terrifying Kun Cave Power contained within your Black Jade?" Wentian Demon Sovereign's voice came through.
Hearing these words, Xu Nian's eyes suddenly lit up.
Yes!
The Black Jade contained within it a Kun Cave.
Just fully activate the Kun Cave, suck all of the energy from the Small World into it.
Wouldn't the Small World then collapse on its own?
"Looks like negotiating with this old turtle is really an option," Xu Nian said with a cold laugh.
Then he looked up at the Xuanwu Netherworld Turtle.
"Little guy, are you ready to die?" The Xuanwu Netherworld Turtle, seeing Xu Nian looking up, also had a flash of Killing Intent in its eyes.
"I can get ready to die, but, you see, if you kill me, you will deeply regret it," Xu Nian said with a smile looking up.
"Regret? Kid, you use me, and you insult me, I can't wait to rip you to pieces right now, how could I possibly regret it," the Xuanwu Netherworld Turtle said contemptuously.
The onlookers such as Xu Yu were also at a loss looking at Xu Nian.
They did not know what their elder brother was doing.
Was he stalling for time?
But would stalling for time be of any use?
If it wasn't for stalling time, what on earth did he want to do?
Xu Nian just smiled and said, "Don't you want to leave this Small World? With your strength, you probably can't destroy this Small World, can you?"
As soon as Xu Nian said this, the Xuanwu Netherworld Turtle's eyes suddenly sharpened.
Its eyes shone brightly as it looked at Xu Nian.
"Human kid, can you really help me destroy this Small World? With your strength, that's probably impossible, isn't it?" the Xuanwu Netherworld Turtle asked with skepticism.
Xu Nian simply laughed it off, "Believe it or not, that's up to you. Anyway, I don't care. You are free to kill me, and then you'll stay here for a lifetime."
The Xuanwu Netherworld Turtle pondered, its eyes fixed intently on Xu Nian.
It seemed to want to gauge the truth from Xu Nian's face.
Yet Xu Nian appeared very confident.
"Fine, as long as you can help me leave this Small World, I won't kill you," the Xuanwu Netherworld Turtle finally spoke.
"Dream on, letting you out just so you won't kill me? One word, I want you to swear an oath to heaven that for the next half-year you must stay by my side and protect my safety. When necessary, if I ask you to take action, you must do so," Xu Nian directly made his demand.
Such a powerful bodyguard should not be wasted.
He believed the Xuanwu Netherworld Turtle would agree.
