Invincible Soul Emperor

Chapter 824: Chapter 824: A Wrong Decision

Wu Chang saw the Thousand-Year Elder Gui covered in wounds, its shell scattered with deep cracks and mottled bloodstains, clearly having gone through an intense battle.

However, Wu Chang showed not a hint of sympathy.

Instead, he arrogantly said, ”Old Turtle, stop pretending to sleep, hurry up and open the path behind for me!”

Thousand-Year Elder Gui slowly opened its eyes, its profound gaze carrying a trace of fatigue and helplessness.

It softly said, ”Human, to pass through the path behind, you must first pass my test. Otherwise, you will not enter that area.”

Wu Chang sneered, bluntly saying, ”Test? What a joke, I don’t have time to play these games with you. Let me tell you, Xue Wei sent me here. Your test is nothing in my eyes!”

Xue Wei previously said that once you reach the seabed, find that Thousand-Year Elder Gui, and it would naturally open the way behind.

Upon hearing the words ”Xue Wei,” it seemed the Old Turtle remembered something.

But whether it was due to brain injury or something else, it did not instantly recall who Xue Wei was.

Old Turtle still firmly said, ”Regardless of who sent you, you must pass the test, this is the rule.”

Wu Chang impatiently waved his hand, sarcastically saying, ”Rules? You old turtle are almost broken into pieces, yet still pretend to be profound? I see you can’t even protect yourself, what’s there to talk about testing! Looking at you, I bet you’re a useless creature who can’t even take care of yourself. Who battered you like this? Haha, truly embarrassing.”

The Elder Gui’s gaze turned grim, as it slowly lifted its head, deeply saying, ”Human, I have stayed here for so many years, and never has anyone dared to speak to me this way! The path here is extraordinary; I will only open it for those who pass the test. Even if you mock me, this remains unchangeable!”

Wu Chang maintained a rebellious demeanor, coldly saying, ”Stop talking nonsense! If not for Xue Wei’s sake, I would’ve dealt with you long ago. You’re just a barely-surviving old turtle, what qualifies you to test me? Don’t forget, Xue Wei is from the Xue Family; it won’t be long before he becomes the Saint Heir of the Xue Family! He’s the Saint Heir, and you dare not listen to the words of a Saint Heir?”

As he spoke, he disdainfully kicked the Old Turtle’s shell, showing extreme contempt and arrogance. ”Hurry up and open the path, I don’t have time to waste here! You old bones, hurry up and roll aside, don’t get in my way!”

The Old Turtle initially couldn’t recall who Xue Wei was upon hearing his name, yet when he mentioned the future Saint Heir, it immediately realized who Xue Wei was!

The Thousand-Year Elder Gui was instantly furious.

The injuries on its body were all thanks to Xue Wei!

The Old Turtle’s gaze suddenly turned sharp, as if transforming from a compassionate elder into a warrior aflame with rage. It slowly lifted its head, voice deep and powerful, saying, ”It was him! That guy, it’s fine if he came himself, yet he dares send a little lackey like you here!”

Seeing this, Wu Chang smiled mockingly, ”Oh, what’s wrong Old Turtle, seeing you so angry, are the injuries from Xue Wei? Haha, serves you right, I’ll say it again, stop talking nonsense, hurry up and open the path!”

The Old Turtle’s gaze became as sharp as a blade, taking a deep breath, suppressing the anger within, and coldly said, ”You clearly know my injuries are thanks to the Xue Wei you mention! You still dare to mention his name in front of me!”

Wu Chang paused for a moment but quickly regained his arrogant stance, ”Oh? So what? He can batter you like this once, and he can do it a second time. Now it proves even more that you should listen to me, obediently let me pass. Otherwise, just wait and see!”

The Thousand-Year Elder Gui’s eyes flashed with a bit of anger, as it slowly stood up, its giant figure appearing especially majestic underwater.

It solemnly said, ”Since that’s the case, then don’t blame me for being rude. Human, since you are Xue Wei’s person, then I cannot let you pass even more. If you want to enter the area behind, you must pass my test. Trying to rely on Xue Wei’s name, then congratulations, it won’t work at all! If you continue like this, I will not be polite to you!”

If not bound by rules preventing it from attacking humans easily, the Old Turtle feared it couldn’t resist crushing the person before it into pulp.

As Wu Chang saw this, his face darkened with a sly smile, ”You broken-down turtle, do you really think yourself so remarkable? Since you’re courting death, I’ll fulfill it for you!”

As soon as the words fell, Wu Chang waved his hand, True Qi burst forth, directly striking the Old Turtle. However, despite its injuries, the Thousand-Year Elder Gui still possessed immense power.

It raised a giant claw, effortlessly blocking Wu Chang’s attack, then counterattacked, a powerful water stream surging from its claw, rushing toward Wu Chang.

Caught off guard, Wu Chang was driven back repeatedly by the powerful torrent. He was furious, channeling all his True Qi, launching another attack. Yet, the Old Turtle’s defense was like a fortress, unaffected no matter how Wu Chang unleashed his powers.

In this confrontation, Wu Chang gradually realized he had underestimated the Old Turtle’s power.

His arrogance and scorn became meaningless before the Old Turtle’s might.

The Thousand-Year Elder Gui not only suppressed Wu Chang with its strength but also forced him to face his arrogance and ignorance with eyes full of rage and wisdom.

”Human,” the Old Turtle’s voice roared like thunder, echoing beneath the sea, ”Daring to bring up Xue Wei is the most incorrect decision of your life! The Xue Family cannot possibly let such a person become the Saint Heir!”

Seeing this, the Thousand-Year Elder Gui slowly retracted its claws, coldly saying, ”If you want to pass, face the test. This is your only chance; you should be grateful I didn’t slap you dead because of Xue Wei.”

Upon hearing this, Wu Chang coldly snorted, his face still extremely arrogant,

Despite the Thousand-Year Elder Gui showing immense power, he still refused to relent.

Wu Chang shouted loudly, ”Old Turtle, don’t be complacent! It’s just because you’re older, cultivated longer, today I’ll show you what true power is!”

With that, Wu Chang gathered all his True Qi, forming hand seals quickly before his chest, a powerful Energy Fluctuation instantly converging in his palms. With a loud roar, that Energy transformed into a furious dragon, charging at the Old Turtle.

The Thousand-Year Elder Gui coldly smirked, a trace of disdain in its eyes. It shook vigorously, its massive body like an indomitable bulwark, meeting Wu Chang’s attack. As soon as the Energy Dragon reached the Old Turtle, it seemed to crash into a mountain, shattering instantly.

Wu Chang was shocked, yet before he could react, the Old Turtle was already launching a counterattack.
