Eternal Dragon Emperor Chapter 330 331: Slaying the Earth-Split Demon Turtle (Part

The students seed to turn a deaf ear to Ye Tian's warning. To them, watching such a beautiful woman slay a Demon Beast was the greatest blessing heaven could bestow. How could they possibly leave now?

"Kid, you just want us to leave so you can be alone with the pretty girl, don't you? Dream on! We're not falling for it!" one of the students retorted, clearly displeased with Ye Tian.

Hearing this, Ye Tian and Zhang Xinlan were practically apoplectic. They were trying to help these people, yet they were being accused of trying to harm them. It was utterly disheartening.

Ye Tian glanced at the student who had spoken. "If you're so eager to die, then I have nothing more to say. I just hope you don't end up regretting your foolishness!"

Zhang Xinlan had no more ti to waste on these stubborn students. If they chose to die, they couldn't bla her for not warning them. Facing the Tier Five Earth-Split Demon Turtle demanded her full attention. 'It's been a long ti since I've had to face an enemy like this,' she thought.

A Longsword as thin as a cicada's wing appeared in her hand. This blade was far more than it seed; in terms of quality, it was at least a Top Grade Treasure Artifact. A weapon belonging to a Saintess from the Holy Land was bound to be extraordinary.

Zhang Xinlan slowly circulated the Spiritual Power within her body, channeling it into the blade. The Longsword in her hand began to emit a dazzling light.

Simultaneously, an imnse pressure materialized in the air, rapidly spreading in all directions. The force was so great that the students who had refused to leave felt as though they were suffocating.

The sudden pressure stunned the students, and a wave of regret washed over them. 'If only we had listened to that kid, we wouldn't be in this much pain.'

The pressure steadily intensified. Many of the weaker students were already forced to their knees, pressed to the ground. If this continued, they might be crushed to death right where they stood. Zhang Xinlan, however, paid them no mind.

She had given them a chance they didn't appreciate; now it was ti for them to learn a lesson. In truth, she had released this pressure intentionally. Her goal was still to make the students leave, she just didn't want to reveal her hand.

The pressure, however, had little effect on Ye Tian. His Defense Power was more than enough to withstand it. Even if Zhang Xinlan were to unleash her full might, he wouldn't be afraid. At worst, he could simply activate the Fourth Layer of his Divine Dragon Battle Body.

Although he couldn't yet fully control the Fourth Layer, it would activate passively if his body sustained enough pressure or a powerful enough attack. Still, he wouldn't let that happen under normal circumstances. 'The fewer people who know my secret, the better.'

The Earth-Split Demon Turtle let out a piercing shriek. Suddenly, countless earth spikes, each several ters long, erupted from its body, making it resemble a gigantic hedgehog. It was, of course, far deadlier than any hedgehog; those spikes were obviously incredibly dangerous.

They glinted with a cold light, sending a chill down one's spine. Without overwhelming strength, slaying such a terrifying Demon Beast would be next to impossible.

Zhang Xinlan knew far more about the Earth-Split Demon Turtle than the other students. The tos of the Holy Land were, after all, incomparable to those of the Celestial Dragon Empire. She knew that these earth spikes weren't a permanent fixture on its back; they were a terrifying Hidden Weapon, ant to be unleashed all at once.

If all of them were launched, it would be like a sky full of Hidden Weapons raining down. Everyone here would be slaughtered. In this mont of extre danger, she had to get the students to leave—including Ye Tian.

"Ye Tian, watch out for the spikes on its back! They're about to turn into sothing like that Rainstorm Blossom Needle you ran into before! All of you, get out of here now!" Zhang Xinlan shouted.

The mont she finished speaking, the pressure in the area vanished. The students, now free, felt as if they had just cheated death. No one wanted to linger. They all scrambled away, and even those who had been crushed to the point of coughing up blood ran for their lives.

They were moving at more than twice their usual speed. They had all known that fighting this Earth-Split Turtle could be deadly, but after a true brush with death, they finally understood the terrifying reality of that danger. Only a fool would risk it a second ti.

Everyone had left, except for Ye Tian. He wanted to see for himself just how powerful the Earth-Split Demon Turtle's spikes were. 'Barring any surprises, I'm confident this thing can't hurt .'

Seeing that Ye Tian hadn't left, Zhang Xinlan said urgently, "Ye Tian, why are you still here? This is no ti for gas! A single strike from a Tier Five Demon Beast can easily kill soone at the Four Veins Power Realm. Are you sure you can withstand it?"

"Xinlan, I know you're worried about , but rest assured, if I'm staying, it's because I have a way to protect myself. Do you really think the Young Master of the Shen Li Palace is that useless?" Ye Tian replied.

The students who had fled hadn't gone far. Though they couldn't hear the conversation, they all watched Ye Tian and Zhang Xinlan from a distance, their hearts filled with worry.

"That kid... isn't he Ye Tian from the Basic Level? And the girl is Zhang Xinlan, the top beauty of the Basic Level, right? How can they be so powerful?" one student in the crowd asked.

"That's them, all right," another student said. "They're legends even in our Advanced Class. It's still pretty incredible to see them slay a Demon Beast up close like this."

"Are students from the Basic Level really that strong?" said a student from the Advanced Class. "Telling all of us to leave... that's going too far. After they kill this Earth-Split Demon Turtle, I'm going to teach them a lesson. I'll show them that students from the Advanced Class can't be ordered around so easily."

"Oh, stop posturing," another student retorted. "Weren't you just pinned to the ground by that pressure like the rest of us? If you went up against those two, I bet either one of them could kill you in a single move! You're completely delusional."

Everyone stared at the student from the Advanced Class. 'Is this guy an idiot?' they wondered. 'How can he say sothing so stupid? There are better ways to save face than this!'

Just then, Zhang Xinlan's Longsword moved. Ye Tian could clearly see the Water Elent Particles in the air gathering at a rapid pace, forming a potent mass of Water Elental Energy.

"Water Dragon Dance!" Zhang Xinlan roared, slashing her Longsword through the air.

A powerful wave of Sword Qi instantly rged with the Water Elent Particles. A deafening Dragon's Roar echoed through the sky.

A mont later, a massive Water Elent dragon, dozens of ters long, materialized in the air. It shot toward the Earth-Split Turtle at incredible speed. At that sa instant, the spikes on the turtle's back began to glow with a gray light as they were unleashed...
