966: Chapter 275: A Step Further in Personal Development_2 966: Chapter 275: A Step Further in Personal Development_2 A bald monk, as if afraid of not being discovered, was shimmering with Buddha’s light.
He had just taken two delicate bronze bells out of a cave and was attempting to fasten them onto his kasaya as buttons.
The bronze bells vibrated, trying to break free, but the sounds they made were absorbed by the kasaya.
A wooden fish also rest on them, the weight of it ensuring the bells could not escape their restraints.
These bells were still half-finished products, and at this moment, they possessed no special abilities despite their potential.
Su He’s eyes narrowed, recognizing these bells—they were the pair that Ji Feixue wore on her ankles!
No wonder he had felt a connection, as if by fate.
The writing above the cave where the bronze bells had been confirmed this, the treasures a father-in-law left for his daughter-in-law, now coveted by this thieving baldy!
Bald donkey!
Did you sneak into Guiwang Mountain just to steal my Su Family’s treasures?
With a slight crouch, Su He’s mouth formed a Mountain Divine God Seal about the size of a walnut and he suddenly spat it out, transforming it into a ray of golden light that fiercely struck the monk’s back.
A muffled sound ensued, and Kuran staggered, his Buddha’s light intensifying.
The wooden fish trembled, and as the bell slipped from his hand, it rang out, breaking the air, vanishing without a trace in an instant.
Kuran’s face changed dramatically, initially thinking he had been caught by Guiwang Mountain.
His heart sank sharply—the theft of the Buddha mother relics had been a great achievement, but failure would be a great sin!
He whirled around while forming a Buddha Seal with his hand, and as the wooden fish hung in the air, he was ready for a desperate fight.
If he could suppress whoever from Guiwang Mountain had discovered him, then it would be as if no one had.
Turning around, however, he saw no one behind him.
Checking all four directions, still no person was found.
Invisible?
Kuran was not alarmed but pleased, letting out a half breath of relief.
A comrade?
If it were a comrade…
Kill!
With his eyes concentrating Buddha Force, the swastika symbols appeared in his pupils.
Borrowing the Big Freedom Bodhisattva’s power, he looked around only to see a Dragon Turtle sneakily chasing the bronze bells as it left.
Dragon Turtle!
So he hadn’t been mistaken earlier—the attacker had indeed been the Mountain Divine God Seal of the Dragon Turtle Tribe!
“He?” He didn’t recognize this Dragon Turtle.
A Dragon Turtle cultivated in secret by the Dragon Turtle Tribe?
A Dragon Turtle of Opening Heaven Three-fold couldn’t possibly remain obscure in All Heavens and Myriad Realms, at the very least the major forces would be aware of it.
The Four Spirits Divine God Beasts had always been a focus of the Buddha World; under normal circumstances, they’d be avoided as much as possible.
But today, this Dragon Turtle was clearly here to play the thief!
It was the Snow Concealment of the Dragon Turtle Tribe, or perhaps a mutated one, even he had been deceived.
Throughout his journey, he had begged for alms endlessly, yet this Dragon Turtle had not robbed him of anything until the bell rang out suddenly—an ultimate treasure!
This bell had to be the embryonic form of an ultimate treasure!
One could question the character of a Dragon Turtle, but never its discernment.
“Despicable!
Stealing an ultimate treasure from our Buddha World!”
Kuran’s eyes sharpened as he threw a string of Buddha Beads towards Su He’s back.
Before throwing, he didn’t forget to coat the beads with a layer of Bodhisattva’s power light.
With this Buddha’s light, he wouldn’t have to fear being detected by Guiwang Mountain.
Su He, chasing after the bronze bells, couldn’t use Divine God Machine to Break Sky and move freely; his speed was severely restricted.
Mid-flight, he felt an attack coming from behind.
The monk had seen him!
Su He twisted his body, scooping up a flurry of water to block behind him.
The Buddha Beads pierced through the water in an instant, continuing to shoot towards him.
With a thud, they hit Su He’s Turtle Shell and were deflected away.
Su He was abruptly knocked aside, yet remained unharmed.
He was carrying the Dragon Turtle Tribe’s ultimate treasure, the Turtle Shell, on his back.
Although Su He did not know how to use this Turtle Shell, its passive defense allowed him to stand in an invincible position.
It was just that the consumption was quite large by comparison, far more than Turtle Shells from later generations, and Su He was finding it somewhat difficult to sustain.
Su He glanced at the monk—very strong!
Surpassing a Common Stepping Sky Seven-fold, having the combat power of Meng Xiao—in the Phoenix Tomb, Su He and Ji Feixue, joining hands, had barely managed to fight against a weakened version of Meng Xiao.
He could not defeat this monk!
Kuran’s eyes flashed with a fierce light.
To block his Buddha Beads, this Little Dragon Turtle must have more treasures on him!
That snake on the back?
Since when does a true Dragon Turtle carry a snake?
The Dragon Turtle Tribe’s ultimate treasures are not recognized by just anyone, and not everyone is aware of the Xuanwu True Body.
Kuran leaped forward and in a few flickers caught up with Su He.
His right palm pressed down while his left hand formed a claw, reaching for the Spirit Snake.
His hand radiated a golden aura, the Buddhist golden body forming—a protection against all evils and injuries.
“Bang!”
A palm struck Su He’s Turtle Shell, numbing his entire arm, yet Kuran smiled with delight: indeed, there was a treasure!
Grabbing hold of the Spirit Snake, he pulled back, and with a counter-move tried to flip over the Turtle Shell.
However, at that moment, the Dragon Turtle beneath him “puffed” out a muffled sound and suddenly dispersed into a seemingly bottomless abyss right before his eyes.
Divine Skills: Taiyuan!
The Spirit Snake that he had caught with his hand, coiled around his arm, pulling him down into the abyss.
Kuran’s face changed drastically.
An avatar!
The Dragon Turtle in front of him was an avatar, a high-level avatar employing Divine Skills.
This was the Taiyuan, how could he enter it!
His kasaya flared out instantly, bracing against the pull of Taiyuan, at the same time his left arm vibrated to shatter the Spirit Snake.
But in that instant, as he was fully focused on resisting Taiyuan, the Spirit Snake bit into his arm, the Gluttonous Dragon Head flashed, crunching his arm to pieces, and pulling him into the abyss.
Taiyuan vanished with a flicker.
A piercing pain struck him, and Kuran turned pale, followed quickly by rage.
If he could control Taiyuan, then the Dragon Turtle’s real body had to be nearby!
He looked around, but no Dragon Turtle was to be found.
Instead, a toad emerged from a cave, holding a tobacco pipe, and directly blew a puff of thick smoke in his direction.
The thick smoke turned to fog, quickly enveloping him, and for a moment, all his senses—Divine Sense, vision, hearing, smell—were trapped within the dense fog.
Kuran was shocked, stepping out of the fog instantly.
Looking around again, where was the toad?
He couldn’t sense even the faintest trace of the Dragon Turtle’s presence.
