Invincible Soul Emperor

Chapter 794: Chapter 794: Need Your Help

”Master, this old bastard is treating you so rudely. If you don’t teach him a lesson, he’ll never learn!” Ah San said, his face deadly serious.

Xue Wei smiled. ”You think that bit of strength of yours is enough to deal with this elder?”

After speaking, Xue Wei slowly walked forward.

”Senior, I came today with sincerity. I’m not here to ask for a way out, but to request your help with something.”

However, before Xue Wei could state his purpose, the Thousand-Year Elder Gui immediately said, ”I think you’ve misunderstood. I already told you just now, I won’t shield anyone who passes through here, nor will I accept anyone’s request. Here, I merely follow the rules from ancient times until now, and I will not make an exception for anyone.”

The Thousand-Year Elder Gui’s face was solemn, clearly not putting Xue Wei in his eyes at all.

Looking at the Thousand-Year Elder Gui being so impervious to reason, a flash of ferocity flickered through Xue Wei’s eyes.

”Senior, the one by my side might not be your match. But my strength, perhaps you still don’t know. If this matter can’t be negotiated, we can have a little bout.”

The corners of Xue Wei’s mouth lifted slightly. So what if this Thousand-Year Elder Gui was powerful? He had plenty of ways to deal with him!

The Thousand-Year Elder Gui clearly hadn’t expected that this man of the Xue Family would actually dare threaten him, and he immediately lifted his body a bit.

”Human, if you insist on fighting me, then come and try. Those who have died by my hand are beyond counting.”

Over these thousands of years, countless people who entered the Secret Realm had tried to go hard against the Thousand-Year Elder Gui, but without exception, they all ended up killed by him.

This Xue Wei before him was naturally nothing in the Thousand-Year Elder Gui’s eyes either.

From the Thousand-Year Elder Gui’s perspective, killing a Xue Wei was as simple as stepping on a small shrimp on the seabed.

Xue Wei gave a cold snort, and the Energy around him instantly surged.

In the depths of the seabed, water plants swayed and coral thickets grew thick; the tranquil ocean was suddenly shattered.

With a loud boom, Xue Wei and the Thousand-Year Elder Gui collided fiercely, churning up a spray of water.

Xue Wei moved with agile grace, like a silver needlefish, darting through the water like lightning.

He smashed a fist down hard onto the turtle shell of the Thousand-Year Elder Gui, producing a dull thunderous boom. However, the turtle shell was hard as iron, only trembling slightly.

The Thousand-Year Elder Gui refused to be outdone. His massive tail suddenly lashed out, raising a powerful current that surged straight toward Xue Wei.

Xue Wei twisted and rolled nimbly, dodging the attack, then lunged forward, his fists raining down on the shell like a storm.

Each strike carried astonishing force, shaking the silt on the seabed into flying clouds, as though the seabed were undergoing an earthquake.

The Thousand-Year Elder Gui roared, his massive head suddenly thrusting out. He opened his giant jaws and bit toward Xue Wei.

Xue Wei hurriedly dodged, the turtle’s jaws grazing past his shoulder. He seized the chance to grab the edge of the shell and yanked hard, trying to flip the Thousand-Year Elder Gui over.

But the Thousand-Year Elder Gui was steady as Mount Tai. With a sudden heave, he actually flung Xue Wei away.

Xue Wei flipped in midair and landed firmly on the seabed.

The two of them faced off for a brief moment, then charged at each other once more. Xue Wei’s fists and feet were like a raging storm, while every strike of the Thousand-Year Elder Gui was like a giant boulder crashing down, making the seawater roil and churn.

The surrounding sea creatures had long since fled without a trace, leaving only this battlefield behind, waves surging and killing intent thick in the water.

Xue Feng, who was searching for the wood element, also sensed this massive disturbance.

However, he didn’t pay any mind to the huge commotion over there. Instead, he carefully searched the ground for animals related to the wood element.

But such a huge ruckus scared away all the creatures he had originally wanted to find.

Xue Feng looked angrily in that direction.

”Who the hell is it? Why do they have to start fighting at a time like this! Seriously. No, I can’t waste time here, I have to hurry and search.”

Right now Xue Feng only cursed once in anger, because he couldn’t afford to care about so much. If they kept dragging things out like this, Xiao Xiao might end up stuck in the Secret Realm forever.

On the other side, the battle grew even more ferocious. Xue Wei’s fists crossed, and with a heavy blow he finally left a crack on the Thousand-Year Elder Gui’s shell.

The Thousand-Year Elder Gui cried out in pain. In a fit of rage, his enormous tail whipped down viciously. Xue Wei failed to dodge in time, was struck square in the chest, and his whole body was flung away, crashing heavily into a huge reef, a mouthful of blood spurting from his lips.

Yet Xue Wei wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes blazing with battle intent.

He took a deep breath and once again charged at the Thousand-Year Elder Gui, determined to see this battle through to the end. The Thousand-Year Elder Gui likewise stopped holding back. It was as if some ancient power of the seabed awakened; the surrounding currents began to swirl, forming a massive vortex that wrapped the two of them inside.

Within this spinning battlefield, every clash between Xue Wei and the Thousand-Year Elder Gui sent up towering waves, shaking the entire undersea world.

The outcome was still undecided, but the ferocity of the fight was already enough to make heaven and earth change color and the ocean itself tremble.

The fierce battle in the depths of the seabed continued unabated.

Although Xue Wei’s speed and agility gave him the edge, the Thousand-Year Elder Gui’s strength and defense were simply too difficult to shake.

With each exchange, Xue Wei was pushing himself to the limit, yet he still couldn’t inflict a fatal wound on the Thousand-Year Elder Gui.

The Thousand-Year Elder Gui seemed to gradually see through Xue Wei’s attack patterns, becoming more and more calm and unhurried.

After a heavy blow, Xue Wei was shaken back a few steps, pain stabbing through his chest. His stamina had clearly dropped, and his breathing had turned rough.

The Thousand-Year Elder Gui stared at him coldly, his gaze radiating an incomparable sense of oppression.

”Your strength is still lacking. Human, for the sake of you being of the Xue Family, if you leave now, I won’t take your life.”

The Thousand-Year Elder Gui’s deep voice echoed through the seabed, like a great ancient bell tolling from the distant past.

”Heh, old bastard, you really think you can win?”

Xue Wei wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and forced himself to stand firm. The flames of defiance still burned in his eyes.

However, the Thousand-Year Elder Gui no longer gave him any chance to catch his breath. His massive body lunged forward, bearing down with unstoppable momentum.

Xue Wei tried to dodge once more, but with his strength nearly depleted, he could no longer move as nimbly as before.

The Thousand-Year Elder Gui’s huge tail crashed down on Xue Wei like a collapsing mountain. Xue Wei was sent flying, slamming hard into the rocks on the seabed with a muffled thud.

Blood spread through the water, and Xue Wei’s consciousness grew hazy. He struggled to stand, but his body no longer obeyed him.

”Master! Master! Are you okay? Are you okay?”

Ah San, seeing this, hurriedly rushed over to help Xue Wei up.

What his master said earlier had been right. With his current level of strength, going up against the Thousand-Year Elder Gui was nothing but courting death!

Right now, even his master couldn’t match the Thousand-Year Elder Gui, let alone him!

However, seeing his master like this, this matter was probably not going to get done!
