Chapter 36: Fake Death Skill, Deceiving The World

Su Yu was not afraid of Xie Yixuan’s warning. “When the Young City Lord came, did you see any signs of fire around? These are all caused by the ghost fire.”

“The ghost fire burned for several days and nights, and the whole coastal forest almost turned into nothing. There are no signs of life anymore, and only this turtle survived. This shows how strange it is. I promise you won’t be disappointed.”

Xie Yixuan looked at the scorched earth and the burnt plants around him and was a little surprised. “Is that so? It’s just a turtle, but you’ve made such a big fuss. You even used the ghost fire. I’m going to see if you’re telling the truth.”

“This is not an ordinary turtle. Young City Lord, you will know once you try it.” Su Yu made a gesture of invitation.

Xie Yixuan decided to test it out himself. He took out the short dagger that he was carrying. Its design was simple and it looked extremely sharp.

With just a light poke at it, the sharp blade melted at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if it was being corroded by something. He quickly retracted it. The original dagger had shrunk by more than half. Had he not reacted in time, only the handle would have been left.

Xie Yixuan was slightly surprised. Su Yu was not exaggerating. “This turtle is not simple.”

This dagger wasn’t of any ordinary material. It was made of black iron mixed with red gold, the two strongest materials. It could cut through iron like mud, but it got blocked by a little turtle.

Seeing it with his own eyes was even more shocking than hearing it. He was dumbfounded and shocked, which was rarely seen. Then, it turned into a strong interest. “It’s indeed unusual. I’ve never seen such a demonic beast before. It’s really interesting.”

“We also found out that it’s very difficult to deal with when we fought it. Even Captain Li and Captain Yang couldn’t do anything to it.”

The consecutive failures forced Su Yu to use the power of the Will-O-Wisp.

Xie Yixuan snorted coldly. “If I had been the one to make a move, you wouldn’t have to go through so much trouble.”

The others quickly complimented him, “Yes, Young City Lord’s ability is beyond doubt. However, Young City Lord has been busy recently. You were trying to break through to rank 3 Earth Class. We did not dare to disturb you.”

Hearing these words, Xie Yixuan was very pleased. They didn’t know that while they were talking, the corner of the turtle’s eyes opened a slit, then quickly closed again. The whole process took only a moment, so fast that no one noticed it.

Good Lord. The moment Lin Xuan woke up, he found out that he was surrounded by people. Before he could figure out the changes in his body, he felt an unprecedented powerful aura.

‘There was actually an earth-rank expert here!’

It was unrealistic to escape under the eyes of so many people. If Xie Yixuan was not around, he would have some confidence, but it was a different story if there were earth-rank powerhouses.

He could only plan slowly. In any case, with the protection of the turtle shell and the Earth Vein True Qi, those people wouldn’t be able to touch him and wouldn’t dare to do anything to him.

[Fake Death Skill successfully used!]

In order to fool these people, Lin Xuan once again used the Fake Death Skill. In the eyes of the others, his vital signs were slowly disappearing.

“Guys, quickly take a look. What’s going on with this turtle?” Yang Wen cried out in surprise.

Lin Xuan’s breathing became fainter and fainter until there was no breath left. Xie Yixuan walked up to confirm that he was dead and guessed, “It seems that this turtle was already seriously injured. It didn’t die immediately because of the protection of the turtle shell. However, its brain is already in a state of brain death. It’s just its dying breath.”

After listening to his explanation, everyone finally reacted. Lin Xuan, who was in a fake death, almost laughed out loud. He almost believed those words.

However, even though the turtle was dead, no one could touch it. In the end, it was still Xie Yixuan who made the move. He gathered true energy in his hands, and the White Gas instantly rushed towards Lin Xuan, wrapping around him like silk threads.

Under the gazes of Su Yu and the others, Lin Xuan’s entire body was floating in the air, wrapped in a small white ball. The turtle that they couldn’t do anything to before was so easily dealt with, and they couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.

“The Young City Lord is indeed powerful.”

Lin Xuan was a little surprised. So this was the power of an earth-rank master. In the face of such powerful true energy, he had a feeling of powerlessness. He wondered what would happen after he entered the earth-rank.

Fortunately, the true energy did not have any intention of attacking. Other than the slight discomfort from the initial pressure, he quickly adapted to it. Even Xie Yixuan did not notice anything unusual. The group quickly set off and returned to the city.

“How should we deal with this turtle?”

“I’ll put it in the treasure vault for now. Tomorrow is Father’s birthday. I’ll present it to him then. I’m sure Father will be happy to see such a Wondrous Item,” Xie Yixuan said. As the turtle was highly toxic, no one dared to touch it. He placed the turtle in the treasure vault.

“It’s a pity that this turtle is poisonous. Otherwise, the City Lord would definitely like the meat of a turtle that can prolong one’s life. It would be a good choice to make it into a delicious dish.”

“I was thinking that I might be able to refine this turtle into a pill. Now, it seems like it’s all for naught. Only this turtle shell is somewhat useful.”

Just as Xie Yixuan and Su Yu were talking, the City Lord sent someone to invite them over. It must be about the turtle.

“I heard Captain Su even used a weapon that hadn’t been successfully developed yet.” When he heard the City Lord’s inquiry, Su Yu couldn’t help but feel a little ashamed. At that time, he had vowed to bring the turtle back. In the end, not only was he forced to mobilize so many people, but he also used the ghost fire and invited the Young City Lord out of the mountain.
