Chapter 149 Zhou Chun's First Battle in Foundation Establishment [Please Subscribe]

Boom!

A loud bang echoed in the sky.

Amidst the crimson-gold flames, Zhou Daoquan emerged, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth and his face pale.

He was injured after taking just two hits from his opponent!

This was an outcome he had never expected.

"As expected, cultivators like you, who are inherently incompetent and focus all your energy on spirit pets, are nothing but empty shells—all show and no substance!"

Looking at Zhou Daoquan, whom he had already injured, Su Qiang curled his lip and sneered with disdain.

Since he reached the mid-Foundation Establishment stage and discovered that his strength was already superior to many late-Foundation Establishment cultivators, he developed a great sense of superiority over these people whose cultivation surpassed his but whose strength was inferior to his.

Although his cultivation speed is slow now, it seems that he has little chance of opening his Purple Mansion in this lifetime.

However, within the Foundation Establishment stage, there are not many cultivators who can defeat him.

If he can cultivate to the late stage of Foundation Establishment in the future, unless he encounters other people of the same cultivation level who have cultivated the same combat techniques as him, he will find it difficult to find an opponent!

So now Su Qiang's favorite thing to do is "bully the strong with the weak".

Seeing the fear and terror on the faces of those late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators after he defeated them filled him with immense pleasure.

Zhou Daoquan felt both ashamed and angry at being looked down upon like this.

He was actually far less incompetent than Su Qiang claimed. It was just that he was caught off guard by Su Qiang's attack, as it was his first time fighting a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator who had mastered combat techniques.

Having withstood Su Qiang's first two attacks, Zhou Daoquan, in a fit of shame and anger, quickly launched a counterattack.

He quickly formed hand seals and pointed at his spirit pet, Zhu Yanhe.

Instantly, Zhu Yanhe raised his head and let out a high-pitched crane cry. Flames surged from his body, and he was instantly covered in a spiritual armor covered with mysterious flame patterns.

Then, with a flap of its wings, billowing flames surged forth, condensing into a giant firebird that pounced on Su Qiang.

At the same time, Zhou Daoquan patted the storage bag at his waist, and a gray-white round mirror magic artifact with a handle appeared in front of him.

He reached out and grabbed the handle of the round mirror artifact, then unleashed his magic power and shone it at Su Qiang.

Instantly, a grayish-white ray of light shot out from the round mirror and flew straight toward Su Qiang.

Seemingly realizing the power involved, Su Qiang dared not be careless and allow the grayish-white light to hit him. He hurriedly let out a low shout and waved his sleeve to summon a fiery red jade bead magic artifact, releasing clusters of red light to protect himself within it.

As a result, the red glow was instantly extinguished by the grayish-white light, and even the jade bead magic artifact trembled incessantly, its spiritual light dimming considerably.

Boom!

Another loud explosion rang out.

This time, it was caused by the explosion of Zhu Yanhe's spell in front of Su Qiang.

A moment later, Su Qiang burst out of the flames, his face no longer showing any trace of smugness.

He glanced warily at the round mirror in Zhou Daoquan's hand, then let out a low shout and flung out a crimson banner.

As the magic was activated, the red flag fluttered and instantly unleashed a series of enormous fireballs that hurtled towards Zhou Daoquan.

The two then engaged in a fierce battle in the air, exchanging blows and using all their skills.

Meanwhile, Zhou Chun, protected by Zhou Daoquan's spirit pet Earth Armor Bear, also engaged in a fierce battle with Wei Tong.

The Earth Armor Bear was only a second-tier low-grade demon beast, and Zhou Chun was only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment. It was roughly two early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators fighting against one mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.

With a low growl, the earth-armored bear caused the soil and pebbles on the ground to gather around it, quickly transforming into a thick layer of mud and stone armor that covered its entire body.

It stood right in front of Zhou Chun, firmly protecting her behind it.

Any spells or magical artifacts aimed at Zhou Chun were intercepted by it using its body and spells.

Thanks to the protection of the Earth Armor Bear, Zhou Chun only needed to use the token magic artifact bestowed by the Supreme Elder Zhou Mingde to release a yellow light shield to protect himself, and then focus on activating the magic artifact to fight Wei Tong.

He reached out and patted his storage bag, and a crimson-gold grappling hook shot out, its fierce claw light reaching out to grab Wei Tong.

This relic, obtained from a cultivator of the Dragon Transformation Sect more than 800 years ago, finally found its purpose after he successfully established his foundation.

Although more than eight hundred years have passed, the power of this object has not diminished much.

Its claws were incredibly sharp and indestructible. Wei Tongyu's pair of mandarin duck swords only clashed with it a few times before they were chipped and chipped. He roared in pain.

"Damn brat, die!"

He roared, his hands forming hand seals, and a bluish-white wind dragon roared out, sweeping towards Zhou Chun.

Roar!

Without Zhou Chun needing to react, the Earth Armor Bear suddenly roared, spewing out a dense ball of yellow spiritual light from its mouth, which transformed into a yellow glow that enveloped the wind dragon.

But at this moment, a smug look flashed in Wei Tong's eyes. Suddenly, he made a hand seal and the blue-white wind dragon suddenly exploded, turning into a hurricane that swept towards Zhou Chun.

The yellow clouds were scattered into a mess by the hurricane, making it difficult for them to maintain their momentum.

Just then, taking advantage of the fact that Zhou Chun and the Earth Armor Bear were both attracted by the hurricane, a streak of fire flew out of Wei Tong's hand, quickly bypassing the Earth Armor Bear in front and striking Zhou Chun from behind.

Zhou Chun scanned the flames with his divine sense and discovered that it was actually a snake-shaped throwing knife.

Fortunately, he had always kept a backup plan.

At this moment, he raised his hand and struck out, a golden light shooting out from his sleeve, which collided with the incoming firelight several feet behind him.

As the golden light collided with the firelight, a long golden nail was quickly knocked away.

Then, with its remaining force, the serpentine throwing knife spewed fire again, crashing into the yellow light shield surrounding Zhou Chun like a crimson fire serpent.

Instantly, the protective shield was struck as if by lightning, and countless fine cracks like a spider web appeared on its surface.

Bang!

With a loud bang, the protective shield, which had reached its limit, finally gave way and shattered.

But the snake-shaped throwing knife had already exhausted its power and was recalled by its master's beckoning.

At this moment, the Earth Armor Bear, realizing it had been tricked, roared angrily after blocking and dispersing the hurricane, and directly swung its claws to condense a house-sized boulder that hurled at Wei Tong.

However, Wei Tong simply moved his body and easily avoided the bombardment of the boulder, not taking the Earth Armor Bear's counterattack seriously at all.

Then, looking at Zhou Chun with surprise, he exclaimed, "What a young man! I didn't expect that at such a young age, with such little cultivation, you would possess so many treasures!"

After saying that, a greedy look appeared on his face, and he whispered, "But this is fine too, this way we'll reap even greater rewards after killing you!"

As he spoke, he raised his hand and patted the storage bag at his waist, summoning a black gourd-shaped magical artifact.

With a surge of his magical power, thick, grayish-black smoke billowed from the black gourd, sweeping towards Zhou Chun and the Earth Armor Bear.

At the same time, he summoned the snake-shaped throwing knife again, hiding it in the smoke as it attacked Zhou Chun.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun dared not let the smoke, whose purpose was unknown, get close, and hurriedly stirred up a gust of wind to blow the smoke away.

But the smoke was no ordinary substance; it was completely unaffected by the gale he was driving.

Seeing the billowing smoke approaching and its momentum becoming unstoppable, Zhou Chun could only do his best to activate the token artifact to protect himself, while simultaneously using the "Five Elements Spirit Armor Technique" to create another layer of protection for himself.

Soon, billowing black smoke completely engulfed the Earth Armor Bear and Zhou Chun on the ground.

Because of the protective shield, Zhou Chun was unable to determine the purpose of the black smoke for the time being.

However, he quickly spotted the snake-shaped throwing knife magic weapon that was using the black smoke as cover, and hurriedly used the long nail magic weapon given to him by the Supreme Elder Zhou Mingde to meet it.

Although the long nail magic weapon is clearly inferior to the snake-shaped throwing knife in terms of quality, it can still play a significant role in depleting and intercepting attacks.

But just as he took the hit of the serpentine flying knife, the Earth Armor Bear suddenly roared, its voice extremely violent and filled with a sense of distress.

This seemed to make him realize something, and he suddenly shouted, "Oh no, the smoke is poisonous!"

Then he hurriedly patted the storage bag at his waist, intending to take out the antidote pills for the earth-armored bear to take.

But at that moment, Zhou Chun suddenly sensed a powerful magical fluctuation.

It turned out that Wei Tong had activated another second-tier magic talisman, which appeared to be a valuable mid-grade second-tier magic talisman!

This made Zhou Chun's heart sink, and he hurriedly took out a second-tier magic talisman and activated it.

Suddenly, a lifelike fire dragon swooped down from outside the black smoke and collided with a golden sword that shot into the sky.

Golden light shone brightly, and firelight flickered.

The golden sword was quickly extinguished and scattered by the fire dragon.

However, at that moment, a huge figure suddenly leaped up and slammed its palms, glowing with yellow spiritual light, onto the fire dragon.

boom!

With a deafening explosion, a towering wave of fire instantly extinguished most of the black smoke.

The massive body of the Earth Armored Bear, blasted away, also created a huge crater in the ground.

However, this giant beast was only a second-tier demon beast, and it quickly got back up from the ground.

Compared to its previous fierce and domineering image, it is now covered in charred black fur, with many cracks on its body that are oozing blood, making it look rather disheveled.

"That damned beast!"

In the sky, Wei Tong couldn't help but show his anger and curse.

If his attack hadn't been blocked by the Earth Armor Bear, combined with his subsequent offensive tactics, he would have at least injured Zhou Chun, if not killed him on the spot.

However, the Earth Armor Bear would rather be injured itself than let Zhou Chun suffer any harm.

How could Wei Tong not be furious?

"Then I'll kill you first, you beast!"

With a roar, he once again formed hand seals and cast the Wind Dragon Technique, the same move he had used before.

Then, the black smoke emitted from the gourd artifact was incorporated into the wind dragon, instantly turning the originally bluish-white wind dragon into a bluish-black color.

"go!"

With a low shout, the dark blue-black wind dragon pounced towards the earth-armored bear.

On the ground, the Earth Armor Bear once again gathered mud to form armor, donning a thick suit of armor for itself.

Then it opened its mouth and spat out a ball of yellow spiritual light, which transformed into clouds and surrounded the area above its neck, like a towel protecting its neck and head.

Having just suffered from the poisonous smoke, they were already on guard and knew to use this method to block its invasion.

As expected of a demon beast that has been taught by cultivators for a long time!

Then, the dark blue wind dragon and the earth-armored bear's outstretched palms collided, and the powerful energy shockwave crushed and blew away all the grass and trees around them.

Even the Earth Armor Bear, with its massive body weighing tens of thousands of pounds, couldn't withstand the powerful impact and rolled across the ground for twenty or thirty feet like a boulder before finally stopping.

Just as the Earth Armor Bear stopped moving, the snake-shaped throwing knife that Wei Tong had used to attack Zhou Chun suddenly shot towards its eyes.

But Zhou Chun would not allow such a sneak attack to succeed.

He once again used the long nail magic weapon to block the flying knife magic weapon, giving the earth-armored bear time to react and swing its paw to knock away the subsequent flying knife magic weapon.

With this coordinated effort from the Earth Armor Bear, Wei Tong was temporarily unable to deal with either of them.

This situation quickly aroused dissatisfaction from Su Qiang's side.

He immediately roared from miles away, "Wei Lao Er, what the hell are you? You can't even handle a little kid and a beast?"

Su Qiang was furious.

He realized that without Wei Tong's help, he would likely only be able to fight Zhou Daoquan to the death.

Trying to kill your opponent in a one-on-one fight is completely unrealistic.

This must have been incredibly disheartening for him, someone who was used to being arrogant.

Fifteen minutes have passed since the battle began, and Wei Tong's side still shows no sign of victory.

This naturally gave him an outlet for his anger, and he started cursing loudly.

After being scolded, Wei Tong was also annoyed by Su Qiang's harsh words, but he didn't dare to offend him and retaliate with insults.

So he could only vent his anger on Zhou Chun and Tu Jia Xiong.

"Damn beasts, damn brats, you made me spend so much money, I'll skin you alive and tear you to pieces later to vent my anger!"

He cursed loudly, then took out a mid-grade second-tier magic talisman from his storage bag and activated it with a wave of his hand.

After the magic talisman was activated, he slammed it into the ground, and instantly the earth cracked open, revealing a rocky earth dragon six or seven zhang long that lunged at the earth-armored bear.

That rocky earth dragon was not only incredibly hard and immensely powerful, but it could also break up soil and reform it.

Although it didn't unleash its immense power instantly like the previous fire dragon, it still put tremendous pressure on the Earth Armor Bear, forcing it to fight back with all its might.

This gave Wei Tong a sudden thought, as if he had seen another opportunity, and he immediately turned his attention to Zhou Chun.

Then his expression suddenly changed.

Suddenly, Zhou Chun produced a white longbow, nocked an arrow, and aimed it at him.

Regarding the fight scenes in this book, let me explain. At least for the fights of cultivators below the Golden Core stage, this book references the Shushan style in some aspects. That is, magical artifacts are divided into two types: flying swords and other magical artifacts that can unleash various supernatural powers.

Flying swords and similar magical artifacts are hard, sharp, and fast, making them ideal for direct attacks. Other magical artifacts, on the other hand, are characterized by their transformation and magical abilities, while their physical forms are somewhat fragile (except for magical artifacts like shields).

Therefore, when cultivators fight, they will summon flying swords and other magical artifacts to entangle each other, and then compete in spells, talismans, and other magical artifact abilities.

In other words, ordinary cultivators, regardless of whether they know any sword techniques or secret arts, should at least acquire such a magical artifact. Otherwise, in battle, as long as the opponent can withstand one wave of your attacks, the flying sword will continuously slash down, and the killing effect will be unmatched by other magical artifacts and supernatural powers, and it will also consume less mana.
