Chapter 263: Chapter 263
Fiery Flame Mantis, having only the cultivation of True Martial Ninth Layer, instinctively showed a color of inherent fear in its eyes upon sensing the Sect Martial Realm aura of the Ice River Xuan Turtle, and dared not rush forward. It hovered outside the Flame Dragon Array's light shield with a pair of fiery wings fluttering vibrantly.
"Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!..."
However, the ten puppet golems refined by Zhao Letian have no emotions, clueless about what fear means, and charged directly into the Flame Dragon Array. Their arms all transformed into the shape of swords and sabers, carrying the scorching crimson flames, and slashed towards the Ice River Xuan Turtle.
"Burning Sky Thunder Dragon Spear."
At the same time, Zhao Letian also stirred up his True Yuan Power, holding a spear wrapped in flames and lightning, and struck towards the Ice River Xuan Turtle.
The Ice River Xuan Turtle let out an angry roar, suddenly lifting its front hooves as thick as stone pillars and stomped down viciously.
With a loud noise, the ground cracked open, and the wild True Yuan Power spread out from the center of the Ice River Xuan Turtle, sweeping everything in its path. Ice and frost spread, freezing everything. The ten puppet golems, still afar from the Ice River Xuan Turtle, were directly blasted out of the Flame Dragon Array by the violent cold Qi wave, and even became entirely encased in thick ice.
"Such terrifying strength."
Zhao Letian was also blown away by the powerful cold Qi wave, his eyes filled with a look of shock.
He believed that with his current strength, he was already able to easily contend against the vast majority of High-level True Martial Realm powerhouses and even killing a few not-so-strong True Martial Ninth Layer individuals would be effortless. Even when facing Sect Martial Realm powerhouses, if not victorious, he should be able to put up some resistance.
But unexpectedly, at this moment, he could not easily approach the Ice River Xuan Turtle. The strength of this Sect Martial Realm demon beast far surpassed what he had anticipated.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!..."
The Ice River Xuan Turtle seemed not to take Zhao Letian, who was like a tiny ant to it, seriously. After blasting him and the ten puppets out, it directly used its mountain-like colossal body to fiercely ram into the red light shield of the Flame Dragon Array. The violent Qi wave scattered, making the light shield flicker unsteadily, as if on the verge of collapse.
"Not good, the Flame Dragon Array can't withstand its attack. I must stop it, Dragon Roar Nine Sword."
Zhao Letian's face darkened, and with a flash of light in his hand, he brought out a Nine-star Spiritual Weapon Longsword and leaped into the air, slashing towards the Ice River Xuan Turtle.
"Roar! Roar! Roar!..."
This time, eight Dragon Roar sounds resonated, and on the Nine-star Spiritual Weapon Longsword, a gigantic sword Qi several zhang in length condensed, surrounded by a massive amount of invisible Sword Qi, creating an awe-inspiring momentum.
Hearing those eight Dragon Roars, the Ice River Xuan Turtle, which was attacking the Array Formation Light Shield, suddenly stopped, and a flash of panic flickered in its eyes. Although the Dragon Roar sound waves were not too overpowering for it, they made it feel bloodline suppression, causing its strength to suddenly diminish.
"Soul-cutting Saber!"
Taking advantage of the momentary daze of the Ice River Xuan Turtle, Zhao Letian suddenly brought his fingers together and pressed them against his brow, calling out in concentration. Then, with a swift motion of his fingers, he pulled out a crescent-shaped transparent blade emanating a robust Divine Soul Power, slashing towards the Ice River Xuan Turtle at a terrifying speed.
This Soul-cutting Saber was precisely the earth-grade Martial Technique acquired in the Slaughter Illusion Realm, a very special Soulspiritual attack technique that was even more precious than ordinary earth-grade Martial Techniques. That's why Xiao had been reluctant to part with it.
"Wind Thunder Wings!"
After releasing the Soul-cutting Saber, a pair of Mid-grade Spirit Artifact Feather Wings suddenly appeared on Zhao Letian's back. With a flap of his wings, he transformed into an incredibly quick lightning bolt, holding the Nine-star Spiritual Weapon Spear shrouded with thunder and fire, and launched an astounding attack towards the Ice River Xuan Turtle.
Meanwhile, the ten puppet golems, though encased in thick ice after being blasted away by the Ice River Xuan Turtle, were not destroyed. Their eyes glowed with a powerful crimson flame, fiercely burning the ice, attempting to break free from the ice.
Just then, the Fiery Flame Mantis let out a sharp shriek, suddenly fluttering its wings and flying to the side of a puppet. It spat out scorching flames from its mouth, fiercely burning off the ice encasing the puppet. Between the internal and external attacks, it took merely the blink of an eye to shatter the thick ice.
As soon as the puppet was freed, it immediately shot out a powerful beam of flame from its eyes, striking towards the Ice River Xuan Turtle.
Meanwhile, the Fiery Flame Mantis vibrated its wings, aiding the other puppets in quickly breaking free at the fastest speed.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!..."
At this time, the Nine-star Spiritual Weapon Spear had already struck the Ice River Xuan Turtle. Compared with the speed of the Nine-star element, the Ice River Xuan Turtle was much slower. Unable to evade in time, it could only retract its head into its thick shell, using the impregnable shell to fend off the Nine-star Spiritual Weapon Longsword as well as the endless barrages of Sword Qi.
"What a tough shell."
Zhao Letian, holding the Spiritual Weapon Spear, suddenly frowned.
The defense of the shell was incredibly astonishing; the Nine-star Spiritual Weapon Longsword, even with the Dragon Roar Sword Technique deployed, could only leave very shallow white marks on the shell, utterly failing to inflict any effective damage.
As for the endless Sword Qi, it couldn't harm the Ice River Xuan Turtle at all; at most, it could only slightly exhaust some of the turtle's energy.
However, at that moment, the crescent-shaped Soul-cutting Saber, condensed from Divine Soul Power, completely disregarded the defenses of the Ice River Xuan Turtle and directly blasted into its mind, ferociously slicing towards its Divine Soul.

Caught off guard, the Ice River Xuan Turtle's Divine Soul Power was severely damaged. It couldn't help but stick out its head, letting out a piercing and miserable scream, its eyes a bloody red. Terrifying True Yuan power erupted from its body as it suddenly entered a berserk state. Its attack power skyrocketed, and it began to wildly bombard the light shield of the Flame Dragon Array.
In an instant, a breach was formed in the light shield of the Flame Dragon Array. The Ice River Xuan Turtle spotted the opportunity, immediately shaking its massive body, attempting to squeeze out through the gap.
"Don't even think about it, Burning Sky Thunder Dragon Spear, die!"
Simultaneously, Zhao Letian had already charged over. Wielding the Thunderbolt Spear in his hands, he fiercely stabbed into the head of the Ice River Xuan Turtle. Instantly, streaks of purple lightning and crimson flames rapidly spread, rampaging within the head of the Ice River Xuan Turtle.
The Ice River Xuan Turtle let out another piercing roar. A terrifying wave of icy cold air swept out, directly targeting the closely approaching Zhao Letian.
Zhao Letian was abruptly startled and hurriedly used the Mid-grade Spirit Artifact Feather Wings to shield his body before being blast away by the powerful wave of icy cold air.
The attack of the Ice River Xuan Turtle was too terrifying. Without the protection of a Mid-grade Spiritual Artifact, taking a direct hit at such a close range, he would not have died but surely would have been peeled off a layer of skin.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!..."
Although Zhao Letian was blasted away, the ten puppets and the Fiery Flame Mantis charged up again, all shooting out powerful streams of Fiery Flame Torrents from all directions towards the seriously injured Ice River Xuan Turtle. This caused it to be trapped within the Array Formation Light Shield, unable to break free for a long time.
