As the words fell, the entire treasure vault’s aura became increasingly murderous.
At the same time, countless extremely powerful auras began to vaguely emerge one by one in the darkness.
Meanwhile, Zhang Pengtian’s momentum climbed steadily, reaching an extremely terrifying level in the blink of an eye.
Yue Qinghuan, who had been watching coldly from the side, couldn’t help but sigh softly, "Immortal Venerable Peak, just a hair away from a Half-step Saint! Now, it seems there’s going to be quite the show!"
Indeed.
When Zhang Pengtian’s momentum reached its peak, it pressed down relentlessly on the Shadow Turtle Emperor’s power, forcing it to retreat.
Then Zhang Pengtian sneered, "Shadow Turtle Emperor, in the Death Dark Domain I’m no match for you, but in this Bead City, you’re nothing more than a turtle in a jar!"
With these words, Zhang Pengtian extended his hand, slamming a palm towards the Shadow Turtle Emperor.
The Shadow Turtle Emperor roared angrily, its human form instantly collapsing as it revealed its original form, trying to break free from Zhang Pengtian’s grip.
But at their level, even the slightest difference in cultivation level was insurmountable, like a chasm.
At least all of the Shadow Turtle Emperor’s struggles were futile.
Then, the palm struck it.
Boom boom boom!
With the shattering of the shell’s carapace, the Shadow Turtle Emperor let out a muffled grunt, and a trickle of blood dripped from the corner of its mouth.
As soon as it hit the ground, the blood transformed into a sparkling Blood Pearl.
Seeing this, Zhang Jinju’s eyes gleamed with greed, "Father, don’t kill him so easily. If we could refine all his blood into Treasure Beads and absorb them, we could definitely find out how to fully access the Death Dark Domain!"
Zhang Pengtian chuckled lightly, "Don’t worry, Jinju, I know what I’m doing!"
Saying that, he pointed a finger forward.
The finger drove towards the Shadow Turtle Emperor’s brow.
The Shadow Turtle Emperor let out a roar full of unwillingness.
He never expected to die at the hands of such petty characters.
But just as his finger was about to touch the Shadow Turtle Emperor, a soft laugh suddenly echoed in everyone’s ears.
"A marvelous scene, it seems that no matter when, one should never underestimate human greed!"
With this sigh, Zhang Pengtian suddenly felt a chill between his brows and a stabbing pain in his head.
In shock, he couldn’t help but take a hurried step back.
After retreating dozens of steps, the feeling gradually faded, and he looked forward with lingering fear.
Beside the Shadow Turtle Emperor, a young man in snow-white clothes appeared.
Who else could it be but Xue An?
Upon seeing him, both Zhang Pengtian and Zhang Jinju were utterly stupefied.
Even the trapped Shadow Turtle Emperor was a bit dumbfounded.
He never expected this Hua Clan youth to save him.
But he’s merely a Half-step Immortal Venerate!
The gap with Zhang Pengtian, who is at the Immortal Venerable Peak, is vast!
Why would Zhang Pengtian be so afraid of him?
These questions left even this Immortal Venerable-level beast confused.
Meanwhile, Xue An turned his head with a slight smile.
"Do you know where you went wrong?"
"Where?"
"From the very beginning, you shouldn’t have put all your chips in one place!"
Soon after, someone snorted disdainfully.
But regardless of what he thought, Zhang Pengtian’s face showed a sneer.
"Young man, your cultivation level is pretty decent for your age, but don’t get too overconfident, or you might end up with a nasty fall!"
Xue An chuckled softly, "I’ve heard that before, so now I just want to tell you one thing!"
"What?"
Just as Zhang Pengtian’s voice fell, Xue An’s entire figure disappeared, reappearing behind him and launching a punch.
Caught off guard, Zhang Pengtian was forced to take the punch directly with his back.
Thud!
With a loud crash, Zhang Pengtian was sent flying, tracing a parabolic arc through the air.
Meanwhile, Xue An gently blew on his fist and said flatly, "If the young don’t get overconfident, can they still be called young?"
This punch was earth-shattering, shaking everyone.
Even Yue Qinghuan, who was confident in Xue An’s win, was astonished by Xue An’s decisiveness.
That was an expert at the Immortal Venerable Peak!
How could he seem so powerless when faced with Xue An?
Zhang Jinju couldn’t believe his eyes. He had just begun to call out two words, "Father..." when
Xue An arrived in front of him, casually unleashed a palm!
Despite seeing it clearly, Zhang Jinju was mortified to find he couldn’t move a finger, only watching as the slap landed on his face.
Smack!
With the crisp sound of a slap, Zhang Jinju joined his father, flying out, tracing nearly the same arc in the air!
Then Xue An clapped his hands, saying flatly, "Calling for your father won’t help. I don’t have such a useless son!"
