Started out getting scumbags, but then invested in the invincible Empress.

Chapter 96 The Young Corpse King

"I swear, if I run away later, I'll be a dog!"

The green-haired turtle held its neck high, looking righteous and stern.

"OK then."

Glancing at it, Li Wudao was half-convinced, but agreed to act as the vanguard.

Immediately, he drew his sword and, with a tentative thrust, stabbed at the boy in red.

"Hehehe..."

The red-clad youth's bloodshot eyes flashed as he twisted his neck back and forth, a bloodthirsty smile playing on his lips. Combined with the black markings on his face, he was truly terrifying.

The next instant, he extended his long, slender fingers, gleaming with white light, and reached out to grab Li Wudao.

"Clang!"

The sword tip and the sharp claws collided, producing a sound like shattering metal and splitting stone, sparks flying everywhere, yet not even a scratch was caused.

"What a powerful body!"

Li Wudao clicked his tongue in amazement. To withstand the sharpness of a King-level treasure with one's own body was a terrifying display of defensive power.

"call out!"

Just as the boys were fighting, the green-haired turtle seized the opportunity, transformed into a black lightning bolt, and rushed outside without looking back.

"You damned bastard, I knew you were up to no good!"

Li Wudao cursed loudly, but did not linger in the fight, and instead fought and ran.

Fortunately, he had suspected it beforehand, and while he pretended to make a move, he was actually keeping a close eye on the green turtle's movements.

Even the mysterious green-haired turtle was unwilling to get entangled with the red-clothed boy, so he was certainly no fool.

This boy, neither human nor ghost, was extremely strange, much like a legendary zombie. His aura was close to that of a peak Martial King, and he was impervious to swords and spears, with an incorruptible body.

Although with his current strength, he is not afraid to fight him and his chances of winning are not small, this place is a forbidden area, full of dangers, and there are countless crises waiting for him.

If you go through all that trouble to defeat someone, only to have them benefit from your efforts, then you'll have no one left to cry about it.

"Hey kid, don't follow me!"

The green-haired turtle noticed the commotion, turned its head, and cried out in surprise.

"Damn it, you wicked dog, you're so cunning and wicked!"

Li Wudao cursed incessantly, not daring to stop for a moment, and followed closely behind it.

"You son of a bitch, you're the dog!"

"Heh, I wonder which bastard forgot the oath he just made so quickly?"

"I........"

The green-haired turtle looked dejected. It had a glorious reputation, but after hunting all day, it had been pecked in the eye by an eagle.

Before long, a chase scene unfolded inside the mine, involving a man and a tortoise.

The green-haired turtle ran wildly ahead, with Li Wudao and the red-clothed boy in hot pursuit behind. Wherever it ran, the two chased after it, unable to shake it off.

Although they were on the run, the battle did not stop. The red-clad youth would launch surprise attacks from behind from time to time, making it difficult for the man and the turtle to cope.

"Boom!"

The red-clad youth's physical body was terrifying. Wherever he went, his claws slashed and destroyed everything, whether it was walls or the ground. His powerful force shook the mine shaft, and rocks kept collapsing.

In the end, the green-haired turtle unknowingly escaped to the vicinity of the well where Li Wudao had fallen.

However, the bottom of the well had collapsed due to the aftershocks of the battle, completely blocking the way out.

"Oops!"

The man and the tortoise realized something was wrong; they were in another dead end.

"Boom!"

Just then, the boy in red caught up and slammed his claw down, causing the mine to tremble and the ground to crack open, displaying immense power.

"Kid, now it's really time to make a move. If we keep running, we'll both be buried deep here."

The green-haired turtle barely dodged the attack, its face grim.

"hehe......."

Li Wudao glanced at it sideways and sneered repeatedly, "Now you know the consequences are serious, where were you before?"

"......"

The green-haired turtle was speechless for a moment, and just gasped for breath.

However, given the current crisis, the man and the tortoise quickly reached a strategic united front after a brief period of intrigue.

"Damn it, you dead turtle, if you dare to betray me again, I'll drag you down with me even if I die!"

Li Wudao cursed and swore, hating this green-haired turtle to the core.

"Don't worry, I definitely won't cheat you this time."

Knowing he was in the wrong, the green-haired turtle gave a sheepish smile.

"You go first!" Li Wudao said in a deep voice, still not trusting it.

"I'll go, I'll go..."

The green-haired turtle, its eyelids drooping, rushed forward listlessly and bit the red-clothed boy's arm.

next moment,

It suddenly released its mouth and said disgustedly, "Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey! This thing stinks to death! How long has it been since it took a bath? It's stinkier than the rocks in the latrine! It's making my teeth hurt!"

At this moment, the red-clad youth's attack also landed, swift as lightning, his sharp claws, as sharp as celestial blades, slammed out heavily, instantly sending the green-haired turtle flying.

With a loud "bang," half of the green-haired turtle's shell was embedded in the wall, leaving only a bald tail sticking out, which looked rather comical.

"Boy, quickly help this saint, it seems... I'm stuck."

The green-haired turtle kicked its hind legs and cried out anxiously.

"........"

Li Wudao was speechless, and suddenly regretted cooperating with this bastard.

However, considering the imminent threat, he quickly stepped forward, grabbed the bald tail, and pulled it out with a sudden burst of strength.

"Ouch... be gentle, it hurts so much!"

The green-haired turtle howled in pain, constantly waving its bald tail in an attempt to relieve the agony.

Immediately, it bared its teeth, its eyes fixed intently on the red-clad youth, and said in a low voice:

"This thing has already cultivated into a Corpse King. In terms of physical strength alone, it's probably hard to find a match for anyone below the Martial Venerable level. Conventional methods are useless against it. It seems I have no choice but to use all my resources..."

Upon hearing this, Li Wudao scoffed and dismissed it with disdain.

This spineless bastard has the audacity to call himself a saint. I really don't know where he gets his confidence. Is he trying to be funny?

"Ah-"

With a flash of golden light, the golden coffin hovered above the green-haired tortoise's head, floating and sinking, its golden light shimmering and radiating an indescribable power.

Upon seeing the golden coffin again, Li Wudao narrowed his eyes, sensing an extremely ancient aura emanating from it. This golden coffin was no ordinary object; it was at least an ancient treasure.

"What, you want to seal it in a coffin? Where will you sleep then?"

He gave a sarcastic smile, not forgetting to mock the despicable bastard.

"Shut up, brat. I'm too lazy to argue with you right now."

The green-haired turtle gritted its teeth, muttered some kind of incantation, and raised its front paws to tap the air a few times.

"Om-"

A ripple spread through the void, and the golden coffin shone brightly, trembling slightly and emanating waves of oppressive energy.

Immediately afterwards, the green-haired turtle manipulated the golden coffin and slammed it straight down on the red-clothed boy.

"Boom!"

With a deafening roar, the golden coffin seemed to possess unparalleled weight, crashing down like a giant dragon, instantly causing the red-clad youth to cough up blood repeatedly, his body swaying precariously.

Not far away, Li Wudao was somewhat surprised.

The golden coffin wasn't particularly fast, but after three consecutive impacts, the red-clad youth couldn't dodge a single one. He seemed frozen in place, standing there dumbfounded, forced to endure the attacks.

What horrified him was that the boy in red, despite being so badly injured, still managed to stagger to his feet.

"Click!"

Although his limbs had been dislocated and twisted by the golden coffin, his body quickly returned to its original position amidst a series of cracking sounds. Apart from half of his body being stained with blood, his aura was still terrifying.

"My goodness, it's like an unkillable cockroach!"

Li Wudao was shocked. If he had been hit three times by the golden coffin, he probably wouldn't have been able to stand up.

He couldn't help but feel a chill; was this the legendary "Corpse King"?

It was indeed full of eeriness and power.

"Boy, it's your turn to make a move. This saint needs to rest."

At that moment, the green-haired turtle's slightly weak voice came.

He was panting heavily, looking listless like a wilted eggplant.
