898: Chapter 247: Mantis Stalking the Cicada_2 898: Chapter 247: Mantis Stalking the Cicada_2 No wonder this Huodou wanted the flames of the Fire Turtle, as it inherently followed the path of emotions.
Just like the Camel entering the second level of Profound Moon through the path of emotion, there was no second way.
Su He quietly contemplated.
Huodou forcefully refined the Void Forbidden Divine Pearl with emotions.
As long as Huodou’s mind was intensely disturbed and emotions became unstable, there would be a chance to snatch back the pearl.
He remembered his wife had said this—such petty tricks were beneath Ji Feixue.
If she were here and wanted the pearl, she would simply slap Huodou to death and take it.
Why bother with such trouble?
Su He simply didn’t have that capability.
Disturb his mind…
Su He looked up at Huodou of the four-fold Opening Heaven on the volcano, stirring up waves of magma.
Whether for good or bad, the normal feelings Divine God Beasts held for their kin were beyond doubt.
Could killing this Huodou disturb the one at Heaven Five-fold?
Su He licked his lips, his domain transformed into a stream of water, flowing into a tributary toward Elephant Water.
Su He’s body slowly sank under Elephant Water.
Above him, the Tengu had gone mad, recklessly using every method as if they were free, remaining at the water’s surface and easily spotted.
Normally, suppressing a fellow kin wouldn’t make one lose their mind to such an extent.
This is not just a kin, but also a blood relative.
Su He could feel it; it wasn’t a father-son relationship.
Brothers?
In the realm of Divine God Beasts, could there really be such a rare thing as actual brothers?
Su He stayed submerged, waiting as time slowly passed.
The Domain Avatar was much weaker than his body, making it even more difficult to evade the search of the three Divine God Beasts, moving too slowly.
Flames soared to the sky from East Cloud Mountain, magma drip-dropping from the sky and scorching the mountains and rivers.
Huodou of the Opening Heaven Four-fold gathered the lava into a river rushing toward Elephant Water, boiling the river wherever it passed.
Fish and shrimp floated belly-up towards the surface, but before they could rise, they were cooked to pieces by the scalding river water.
“Turtle Kid!” Toad’s voice resonated within Su He’s heart.
The magma inched closer.
If not stopped, it would eventually reach their hiding place.
“Coming!” Su He responded.
At that moment, the frenzied Tengu and Huodou simultaneously brightened their eyes, looking towards the southeast.
There, a black Dragon Turtle stealthily revealed itself, looking sneaky and suspicious.
“Slave!” The Tengu roared, calling Huodou of the Opening Heaven Five-fold, heedlessly rushing toward Su He.
The one called Slave tensed up but did not charge along.
His attention was on the juvenile Huodou controlling the Volcano.
It was protecting its own kin.
Narrowing his eyes at the distant Dragon Turtle, he suddenly saw the Dragon Turtle roar, toss its head, and pull a small Huodou from Taiyuan; the small Huodou was still airborne when the Dragon Turtle slapped it to the ground.
A bang!
Its head shattered, and dead silence followed as flames mixed with fresh blood sprayed out.
Even across half of East Cloud Mountain, Slave sensed it clearly.
That flame, that blood was indeed from a pure-blooded Huodou—a Three-fold Opening Heaven Huodou!
In the middle of his shock, Slave stared blankly at the bloody scene on the other side of East Cloud Mountain, his mind temporarily stalled.
This Dragon Turtle…
from where did this Huodou hail?!
His breathing grew heavier, he roared and dashed towards the Dragon Turtle at a speed even more rapid than the Tengu—even as a newly ascended Huodou of Heaven Five-fold, he was indeed a mature Huodou.
The closer he got, the more distinct the scent of the small Huodou’s corpse became.
Without a doubt, it was indeed a genuine small Huodou!
Although he didn’t recognize who it was, the impact of a kin’s corpse caused his entire mind to buzz and tremble.
Flames burst from within his eyes, rage surging through him.
This Dragon Turtle had not only killed the Tengu but also hunted Huodou!
He roared and flung a fiery meteor towards the Dragon Turtle again.
Boom!
The entire Dragon Turtle exploded!
Another avatar!
Why did this Dragon Turtle’s avatar and true body seem indistinguishable?
He roared, looking back to where he came from.
And indeed, he saw a golden dice-shaped Mountain Divine God Seal plummeting from the sky, heading straight for the Volcano beside the small Huodou.
Another diversion!
The Huodou on the volcano, at the instant the Tengu and his clan brother left, became utterly vigilant.
The enemy was just a Dragon Turtle of the Opening Two-fold Heaven, but capable of ambushing and killing the Tengu in an instant, how could it be treated as an ordinary Dragon Turtle?
It gathered all its focus, aiming not to reverse-kill the Dragon Turtle when it arrived but to hold it off for a quarter of an hour, enough time for the clan brother to kill his way back!
The moment its clan brother shattered the Dragon Turtle’s avatar, it instantly became alert, lifting its front paw to lift a towering wave of magma above its head.
And indeed, as a golden dice dropped from above, a Dragon Turtle appeared from invisibility.
It charged down like an Azure Dragon hunting, its presence overwhelming.
Huodou’s expression changed, it roared and spun the magma towards the Mountain Divine God Seal.
But the magma was instantly destroyed by a strike from the Mountain Divine God Seal.
Just as Huodou tensed up, feeling like his soul was escaping, a dog’s bark rang out nearby, and the Tengu suddenly appeared, his face twisted with cruelty, pulsing with vengeful satisfaction, and charged over.
“I knew you would resort to this trick!” The Tengu howled, his voice tinged with inexplicable excitement and hysteria.
Huodou stared in astonishment, seeing the Tengu who had charged at the Dragon Turtle now transformed into a red moon that shot towards him.
Huodou was overjoyed!
Avatars weren’t exclusive to the Dragon Turtle!
Just typical of the Tengu Clan, so adept at deception; how could they be blinded by hatred?
Previously merely hiding aside, letting a red moon transform into an avatar and pretend to attack the Dragon Turtle, and indeed the Dragon Turtle now appeared before him!
You’re done for!
Huodou watched the Dragon Turtle above, delighting in the disaster.
