Xiao Hei shook its head, knocking Lin Zhan to the ground.
It bared its fangs and let out a chilling grin as it stared at a group of Naga royal guards, all peak kings.
"Damn it all, weren't these the same bastards who blocked my brother Jin last time? Your Uncle Hei is here to collect some interest today."
With that, Xiao Hei vanished from its spot.
The next moment, Xiao Hei reappeared amidst the Naga royal guards. Fully unleashed, its Black Tortoise power had transformed it into a formidable killing machine.
Its Black Tortoise Heavy Strike smashed two Naga kings in front of it into a bloody pulp. With a sinister grin, Xiao Hei vanished again, heading towards the other Nagas.
Its turtle claws, sharp teeth, the dragon horns on its head, and even the spikes on its rune armor all became Xiao Hei's weapons of slaughter.
Most terrifying of all was Xiao Hei's tail, which ended in a snake's head. This snake head held a blade stained a vibrant emerald green with poison, constantly slitting the throats of those fighting Xiao Hei.
The bloodline of the Void Xuan Turtle granted Xiao Hei the ability to briefly traverse space. Combined with Xiao Hei's immense Black Tortoise strength, for a time, no one in the sea clan could withstand its assassination.
Fueled by its killing spree, Xiao Hei walked up to Aivril, holding the head of a peak king from the Merman tribe.
"This head belongs to royalty, doesn't it? Is it your brother or your sister? Do you need me to send you to join him?"
The snake head on Xiao Hei's tail seemed to cooperate, moving next to Xiao Hei's head.
Aivril looked at the four eyes gleaming with murderous intent and felt a surge of fear. From the bottom of her heart, she just wanted to leave this freak as soon as possible.
Xiao Hei watched the Merman king desperately swimming towards it and grinned menacingly again, saying:
"Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Xiao Hei, and my full name is Xuan Mo."
"The number one thug of the Black Tortoise tribe, the perverted murderer Xuan Yidao, is my father. Although I don't really like my old man, he passed on his killing skills to me."
"As for my learning progress, you've seen it. I feel I've passed. Now, are you ready to die?"
Xiao Hei said this while letting out a maniacal laugh.
"Princess, hurry and go! Protect the princess!"
"We'll hold him off. You quickly take the princess and leave!"
Four peak kings of the Merman tribe charged at Xiao Hei. The remaining two Merman kings grabbed Aivril and fled towards the Troll Forest.
Xiao Hei narrowed its eyes. The snake head on its tail instantly flung out the blade it held in its mouth. The blade, shining with emerald light, was a sure kill, instantly ending the life of one Merman king.
The snake head turned back and retrieved another blade from a gap in Xiao Hei's carapace. This one was stained a deep blue, clearly also poisoned. Sudan Novel Network
"Heh heh, surprised? Unexpected, right? My dad was poor and only had that one knife, but I'm different. My brother is the youngest in the Iron Eater clan. Whether it's Emperor-grade or Sovereign-grade alloy, I get it for free. I have more than enough of these blades to stick one into each of you from the sea clan."
With that, it vanished from its spot again, preparing to hunt down the remaining three kings.
Lin Zhan had been keeping an eye on Xiao Hei's movements. Seeing the two Merman kings flying away with Aivril,
Lin Zhan instantly drew a Dragon Tongue Bow and nocked a Dragon Tooth Arrow, killing one Merman king on the spot.
Aivril and the other Merman king didn't dare to delay, hurriedly flying towards the Troll Forest.
Just then, an arrow flew from the side, piercing the head of the other Merman king.
Lin Zhan followed the arrow's trajectory and saw Leng Shan lowering his bow.
"You rascal, you're not being honest. You've been holding back, and now you can shoot down a peak king with one arrow. What are you pretending for?"
Leng Shan shook his head helplessly and handed his bow and arrow to Lin Zhan, saying:
"Take a look yourself. This bow was passed down by our ancestors, a replica of the Falling Sun Bow of Old Ancestor Hou Yi. Without this treasure bow, do you think I could shoot down a peak king with my skill?"
"But you, old Lin, you're always carrying that big saber, yet no one can see that you're also a divine archer!"
Lin Zhan shook his head and said:
"The Dragon Tongue Bow passed down by Old Ancestor Yan, paired with arrows refined from the Dragon Tooth shed by Old Ancestor Black Dragon King. As long as one can draw the bow and shoot accurately, even an idiot can kill a peak king."
"With Xiao Hei, Xiao Bao, and those other idiots around, do you think I'd have the strength to draw a bow?"
As the two were talking, Xiao Hei climbed out of the sea.
Lin Zhan and the two of them could tell from Xiao Hei's expression that the fearsome display just moments ago hadn't been as easy as it looked.
"Boss, I know you still have Great Emperor-grade Demon Dragon meat. Hurry and give me a piece."
Xiao Hei said weakly.
Lin Zhan quickly took out a fist-sized piece of Demon Dragon meat and threw it into Xiao Hei's mouth.
This Great Emperor-grade Demon Dragon meat was brought back by Old Ancestor Chi You for Lin Zhan and the five little ones when they were training at the Shennong tribe.
Moreover, it was already roasted. Otherwise, with Lin Zhan and the others being mere kings, even if they were given a Great Emperor-grade Demon Dragon corpse, they wouldn't know what to do with it.
Old Ancestor Chi You had given them a whole roasted Demon Dragon, which showed just how pleased he was with Lin Zhan and his band of scamps.
"Heizi, what happened? Weren't you so magnificent just now?"
Seeing Xiao Hei recover after eating the Demon Dragon meat, Leng Shan asked curiously.
Xiao Hei shook its head and said, "Don't even mention it. I got too cocky. I didn't expect the void skills of my mother's clan to consume so much energy, and I underestimated those Naga royal guards."
"Damn it, that trident hitting me really hurt. It's a good thing it was me. If it were any other Black Tortoise of the same level, their shell would have been smashed to pieces in this short time."
"But thankfully, this display wasn't for nothing. I managed to kill over 30 Naga royal guards with those poisoned blades. I must say, Xiao Ming's poison is really effective."
Lin Zhan nodded and said, "There aren't many Naga royal guards, less than 3,000 in total. About half are dead now. I don't know how these things are trained, their defense is too strong."
Xiao Hei nodded and said, "Not only are their hides tough and resistant to damage, but they are also strong. If it weren't for Xiao Ming's potent poison, I wouldn't have been able to kill so many of them."
Lin Zhan nodded and said, "That poison must be potent. The value of the poison for your seven blades is equivalent to seven core-level crystals. That's enough to cultivate core-level powerhouses."
Xiao Hei quickly said, "The money was well spent. Boss, when we attack the Troll Forest, prepare some poison for Shanz's hunter corps too. It will save a lot of brothers' lives."
