How fast it came!

Dugu Feng hadn't even had time to react before the Dragon Turtle had already charged over.

Squinting slightly, Dugu Feng didn't attack immediately, instead doubting whether this was truly an accident,

Buzz!

The Sword Edge trembled slightly, and Wang Junze instantly invoked the Water Sword Intent, creating a vortex to counterattack the Dragon Turtle.

Even with Dugu Feng right beside him, Wang Junze dared not relax in the slightest, striking as if his life depended on it. Facing the Dragon Turtle, he dared not hold back at all.

This particular Water Vortex was extremely perilous. Even Jiao Yang couldn't help but change his expression slightly upon seeing this sword.

The ocean seemed to be Wang Junze's home field as well. Such a sword stroke required careful handling even from him.

However, the Dragon Turtle completely ignored Wang Junze's attack, charging straight ahead. Neither the Water Vortex nor the sword light had any effect on the Dragon Turtle, much like waves hitting a rock.

Although the Dragon Turtle was massive, its speed was incredibly fast. Before anyone could see what happened, it sent Wang Junze flying.

"Pfft!"

A mouthful of blood spurted out. In just this brief encounter, Wang Junze sustained significant injuries.

Compared to its state in the Dragon Palace, the Dragon Turtle's strength had increased tremendously. It wasn't that its Realm had recovered, but its injuries had almost entirely healed, leaving no visible trace.

Having struck successfully, the Dragon Turtle didn't relax its pursuit, diving into the sea with its jaws wide open, ready to bite Wang Junze!

In the water, the Dragon Turtle moved even faster than in the air!

For it, the sea was also its home ground.

Meanwhile, the Mirage Dragon, who had just been shouting for Wang Junze's help, took the opportunity to distance itself. It didn't flee, but it had no intention of helping either.

Above the sea, a golden sword light erupted once more!

Nine Swords of Cloud Dragon!

In this life-and-death crisis, Wang Junze seemed to unleash all his potential, showcasing his terrifying power vividly.

Unfortunately, no matter how hard he fought, he couldn't overcome the absolute power gap and was unable to reverse the disadvantage.

If things continued this way, it wouldn't take long before Wang Junze would be killed by the Dragon Turtle.

However, almost simultaneously, Dugu Feng, who had been silent, suddenly moved.

With a gentle flick of the sleeve, a terrifying wave of blood surged forth, directly intercepting the Dragon Turtle's follow-up attack.

"Vile creature, back off from me!"

Success!

Feeling a wave of relief, Wang Junze's tenseness finally eased the moment he noticed Dugu Feng's intervention.

Admittedly, his previous words to her on the Netherworld Flying Ship had ultimately made an impact.

Though Wang Junze's encounter with the Dragon Turtle was brief, Dugu Feng could tell that its hatred for Wang Junze was genuine, significantly reducing the chance that he was deceiving her.

Additionally, Wang Junze had been with her the entire way, making it impossible for him to have given away their position.

So, after a brief hesitation, Dugu Feng quickly determined that this was merely an accident.

At any other time, Dugu Feng might not have cared for Wang Junze's life, but not now. To her, exploring the abode of Li Shang Sword Venerable was of utmost importance.

More importantly, even though the Dragon Turtle was strong, Dugu Feng remained confident in dealing with it.

"A bunch of pests, die at my hand!"

The thwarted Dragon Turtle was infuriated, although it hadn't intended to provoke Dugu Feng earlier. It didn't mean it feared her. In fact, in the Dragon Turtle's eyes, Dugu Feng was merely someone who had just Entered the Path. Had it not fallen from the Saint Realm, it could have easily suppressed her.

Its body shook, and immediately it turned to attack Gudu Feng.

"Jiao Yang, let's work together to kill this beast!"

Taking a breath, Wang Junze didn't choose to watch idly; instead, he wielded his sword and charged once more, calling out to Jiao Yang.

"All at once, protect the Lord!"

If Dugu Feng hadn't intervened, even if Wang Junze shouted till his death, Jiao Yang would have ignored it. But now it was different. With a sudden step, Jiao Yang burst into flames and joined the battle.

"Kill!"

Simultaneously, the Blood Robe Guard moved, launching an attack on the Dragon Turtle.

With so many people attacking at once, the commotion was huge. In a matter of moments, many demon cultivators came over, drawn by the aura.

In fact, when the Dragon Turtle was chasing the Mirage Dragon earlier, these people were already following from afar, waiting to see if they could get some spoils. The moment Dugu Feng intervened, they gathered immediately.

"Kill, everyone attack together! Slay the Dragon Turtle, and even a little of its flesh is worth it!"

In the crowd, the Maiden of the Sea blended in quietly, seeing everything unfold as per Wang Junze's plan, she incited loudly.

Having someone take the lead, those who were hesitating quickly joined the fray.

Such were the demon cultivators of the Nether Sea.

As long as there was enough benefit, they dared to risk their lives.

More and more people joined the battle, even the Dragon Turtle began to feel panicked.

Without Dugu Feng, no matter how many there were, it could have wiped them out. But the strength Dugu Feng displayed was far stronger than ordinary Entering the Path practitioners, restraining most of its power. Now that others were adding to the attack, it felt like ants overwhelming an elephant.

Instinctively, the Dragon Turtle wanted to escape!

Though it wanted to kill Wang Junze, it wasn't ready to endanger its own life. If it was, it wouldn't have retreated at the Dragon Palace.

Yet at this point, Wang Junze wouldn't allow it to escape!

"Kill! This beast is scared! Don't let it escape!"

"This is a Saint Realm Demon King. If we kill it, we'll be famous across the Nether Sea!"

With a roar, Wang Junze once again took the initiative, blocking the Dragon Turtle's escape route.

These words seemed meant for the others, but they were entirely directed at Dugu Feng.

Admittedly, Wang Junze had an incredibly precise grasp of human nature.

If not for the others, even though Dugu Feng intervened to block the attack, she wouldn't pursue the Dragon Turtle. After all, even for her, slaying the Dragon Turtle would come at a great cost.

However, with the others now involved, Dugu Feng also saw a chance to kill the Dragon Turtle.

Moreover, that line about becoming famed across the Nether Sea subtly reminded her that slaying the Dragon Turtle would bring her immense prestige!

Especially since she had just entered the path; slaying the Dragon Turtle in this battle would surely make her eclipse everyone else and become the foremost under the Demon Venerable.

With such great benefits and the reputation to gain, compounded by Wang Junze's loyalty and gratitude, how could Dugu Feng not be tempted!
