Beast Taming Immortal Clan

Chapter 321 Die Knowing Why! [Please Subscribe]

To be honest, Zhou Chun and Zhou Yu didn't fight for very long.

From the moment he engaged in combat with Zhou Yu until Zhou Yu's death, only about fifteen minutes had passed.

However, the commotion caused by his fight with Zhou Yu was considerable, even quite significant.

The sky was filled with swarms of demonic insects, lightning, thunder, and flames soaring into the heavens.

If lower-level cultivators saw this, they might mistake it for a battle between cultivators at the Purple Mansion stage.

This also stirred the interest of some cultivators who saw this strange phenomenon from afar.

Therefore, just as Zhou Chun was packing up Zhou Yu's belongings and preparing to leave the battlefield...

Suddenly, he saw a black streak of light rushing towards him from a distance, and it quickly flew to the vicinity of the battlefield.

When the black streak of light stopped near the battlefield, Zhou Chun was able to clearly see the appearance of the cultivator.

He was a thin, middle-aged man wearing a gray-black robe. His face was slightly pale, and his demeanor was somewhat cold.

But his cultivation level was genuinely at the Purple Mansion stage!

Moreover, Zhou Chun found the style and the emblem on the gray-black robe he was wearing very familiar. If he wasn't mistaken, it was the standard robe worn by disciples of the Corpse Demon Cult.

At this moment, the thin, tall middle-aged man stopped in mid-air, first glancing at the chaotic battlefield on the ground, then sharply questioning Zhou Chun: "Was it you, a junior, who was fighting here just now?"

His tone, which sounded like he was interrogating a criminal, made Zhou Chun very uncomfortable.

However, Zhou Chun did not dare to reveal anything and quickly put on a respectful demeanor, replying in a respectful voice: "In response to your question, senior, it was just now that I was fighting with an enemy."

Upon hearing his answer, the thin, tall middle-aged man said indifferently, "Oh, so how did the fight go?"

"I narrowly escaped defeat and avenged my great grudge!"

Zhou Chun gave a simple answer, not wanting to go into too much detail.

But the thin, middle-aged man showed no sign of stopping, and instead asked further, "Just now, I saw thunder and lightning rumbling in the sky, and a cloud of insects gathering. Were those your doing?"

As he asked this question, he lowered his gaze slightly and glanced at the several spirit beast pouches at Zhou Chun's waist.

Zhou Chun also keenly noticed this, knowing that it was probably impossible to hide it any longer, and denying it at this moment might only anger the other party.

Therefore, he could only bite the bullet and say, "Senior, you are wise; this junior truly..."

Just as he was about to admit that those were indeed his methods, his expression suddenly changed, and he couldn't help but look at the ground.

Suddenly, a golden figure burst out of the water in a pool on the ground and pounced straight at Zhou Chun in the air.

However, the golden raccoon had already expelled most of the fire poison from its body with the help of the pool water, and now it wanted to avenge its dead master.

Although Zhou Yu's character was extremely despicable, she clearly doted on her spirit pet, otherwise she wouldn't have raised it to become a second-tier high-grade demon beast.

The two, a human and a cat, have lived together for over a hundred years and are now like family.

Now that Zhou Yu has been killed by Zhou Chun, this golden raccoon naturally sees Zhou Chun as the target of its revenge.

Faced with the golden raccoon that had come to avenge its master, Zhou Chun first glanced at the thin, middle-aged man.

However, despite being stared at, the thin, middle-aged man showed no intention of making a move. Instead, he curled his lips into an amused expression.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun's mind raced, and suddenly an idea came to him.

With a quick rub of his hands, a golden blade of light flew towards the golden raccoon.

Immediately, golden light surged around him, and he transformed into a golden rainbow that shot into the sky and flew into the distance.

Zhou Chun has now cultivated the secret technique "Flowing Golden Rainbow" to an extremely profound level. When he uses it now, his flight speed is much faster than that of a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.

While the golden raccoon was also very fast, it was still a step slower than him.

"Wow, that's fast!"

A strange light flashed in the eyes of the thin, middle-aged man, who was slightly surprised by Zhou Chun's sudden display of flying techniques.

But when he saw the golden raccoon chasing after Zhou Chun's retreating figure, his expression immediately changed, and he instantly understood Zhou Chun's plan.

"Good lad, you've got some nerve!"

A cold glint flashed in his eyes, and the thin, tall middle-aged man immediately chased after Zhou Chun.

When Zhou Chun, who was fleeing, saw this scene, his eyes darkened, and he knew that what he had been worried about had happened.

He didn't know why the thin, tall middle-aged man would be hostile to a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator like himself, but now that things had come to this, he could no longer harbor any illusions.

After chasing for a distance, the thin, middle-aged man suddenly raised his hand and struck, sending a jet-black beam of light piercing through the air towards the golden raccoon.

Meow!

The golden raccoon, blinded by hatred, now realizes that there is an even more powerful human in the sky.

After letting out a meow, it quickly transformed into several golden phantoms to evade the attack of the dark spiritual light.

However, under the powerful divine sense of a cultivator at the Purple Mansion stage, its trick was seen through at a glance.

The jet-black light changed direction in mid-air, easily locating its true form.

Before it could use any other means, the dark black spiritual light suddenly accelerated and struck it again.

Suddenly, a shrill scream rang out from the sky, and the golden raccoon's body spun around and plummeted to the ground, its life force visibly dissipating rapidly.

The difference in strength between major realms was now clearly evident.

Faced with the attack of a third-tier magic weapon wielded by a cultivator at the Purple Mansion stage, a mere second-tier high-grade demonic beast was utterly vulnerable.

After killing the golden raccoon in one blow, the thin, tall middle-aged man had a thought, and the dark spiritual light wrapped around the golden raccoon's corpse and flew towards him, which he then put into his storage bag with a wave of his hand.

At this moment, the magical weapon he used to kill the golden raccoon revealed its true form.

It was a long, jet-black nail, like the kind used to nail a coffin lid.

It can only be said that the thin, middle-aged man is indeed a disciple of the Corpse Demon Cult, as the magical artifact he uses is also quite extraordinary.

After collecting the golden raccoon's corpse, the thin, tall middle-aged man exhaled and shouted at Zhou Chun, "The demon has been killed by me, junior, where do you intend to flee to?"

As he spoke, the long, black nail in his hand gleamed with a dark light, ready to be struck again at any moment.

Zhou Chun seemed to sense something as well, and immediately stopped flying. He then turned around with a happy expression, cupped his hands in a salute to the thin, middle-aged man, and said, "Thank you for helping to kill that monster, senior. I am deeply grateful."

Upon seeing this, the thin, tall middle-aged man immediately dimmed the luster of the long, black nail in his hand that had been gleaming, and looked directly at Zhou Chun, saying, "No need for thanks, just continue answering my previous questions."

"Yes, this junior would not dare to deceive senior. The lightning was indeed caused by this junior's spirit pet, and the insect cloud was also a demonic insect that this junior had tamed."

Zhou Chun stared at the thin, middle-aged man and answered his question respectfully and honestly.

"Then release them all for me to see."

A strange glint flashed in the eyes of the thin, middle-aged man, who then gave Zhou Chun a command in a commanding tone.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun first showed a troubled expression, but then respectfully replied, "Yes, junior obeys."

After saying that, he patted the spirit beast pouch at his waist and released the Silver Lightning Python Bai Bai and some of the "Mysterious Armor Golden Feathers".

Upon seeing the silver lightning python with electric currents dancing on its body, the thin, tall middle-aged man took a brief look and exclaimed in surprise, "This is a silver lightning python?"

"Senior's insight is truly remarkable; it is indeed the Silver Lightning Python!"

Zhou Chun responded respectfully.

"Then what kind of demonic insect is this? It seems extraordinary!"

The thin, middle-aged man turned his gaze again to the pale golden demonic insects hovering in the air.

"In response to your question, senior, this insect is called Xuanjia Jinyu."

Zhou Chun spoke up again, providing an answer.

"Black Armor and Golden Feathers?"

The thin, tall middle-aged man muttered something to himself, then looked at Zhou Chun and asked again, "Alright, one last question: what's your name, and where are you from?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun's mind raced, and he quickly replied respectfully, "This junior's surname is Han, given name Yuan, and I come from the Han family of Cangzhou in Jingguo."

Although he felt that the thin, tall middle-aged man might not necessarily associate his name with the Zhou family of the Three Absolutes Sect, he thought it would be better to use a pseudonym to be on the safe side.

Anyway, the thin, middle-aged man was a disciple of the Corpse Demon Sect. Even if he was a cultivator at the Purple Mansion stage, it was unlikely that he would be very familiar with the cultivation world of Jingguo Cangzhou.

Sure enough, after hearing his answer, the thin, tall middle-aged man immediately looked puzzled and said, "The Han family of Cangzhou? Does Jingguo have such a Golden Core family?"

"Senior, you misunderstand. The Han family is not a Golden Core clan; it's just a small family!"

Zhou Chun responded without changing his expression or hesitating at all.

"So it was just a small family after all..."

The thin, middle-aged man nodded, then looked at Zhou Chun with icy eyes and said, "Then you can die!"

With that, he waved his sleeve and threw the long, black nail magic weapon at Zhou Chun.

He acts without warning, and most people might not even be able to react in time.

However, Zhou Chun was already extremely wary of him. Almost the instant he revealed his murderous intent, Zhou Chun activated a third-tier defensive talisman hidden in his sleeve without hesitation.

A hazy, bluish-green light emanated from Zhou Chun, quickly transforming into a protective shield around him.

The long, black nail-shaped magical artifact struck the protective shield of light, causing it to shake violently, but ultimately it could not harm Zhou Chun inside in the slightest.

At this moment, Zhou Chun reached for another spirit beast pouch at his waist and released the Fire God Jackal inside.

"A mid-grade, third-tier demonic beast!"

When the majestic and imposing Vulcan jackal appeared in mid-air, its feet treading on flames, the thin, middle-aged man's expression changed drastically, and he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Senior, you have no shame! How dare you bully a junior like me with your superior strength? Aren't you afraid of damaging the reputation of the Corpse Demon Sect if word gets out?"

Now that the pretense was over, Zhou Chun no longer needed to pretend and immediately began to denounce the thin, tall middle-aged man.

However, faced with his accusatory words, the thin, tall middle-aged man quickly revealed a cold smile and said, "Could our sect's reputation get any worse?"

These words left Zhou Chun speechless.

Indeed, the Corpse Demon Cult has never had a good reputation.

Even if this got out, it wouldn't cause any trouble for the Corpse Demon Cult, as they'd be as numerous as lice.

So he could only remain silent and say to the Vulcan, "Vulcan, it's up to you now!"

The thin, middle-aged man was only at the early stage of the Purple Mansion realm, while the Fire God Jackal was a mid-grade third-tier demon beast, so his chances of winning were still quite high.

Of course, this is on the premise that the thin, middle-aged man has not yet cultivated a third-level corpse.

It's true what they say, what you fear most is what happens!

Just as Zhou Chun thought this, he saw the thin, tall middle-aged man raise his hand and pat the storage bag at his waist, instantly releasing a pitch-black stone coffin.

Bang!

With a loud bang, the lid of the black stone coffin was blown off from the inside by a powerful force, and a figure reeking of a foul stench jumped out from inside.

The figure was nearly ten feet tall, with a broad face and fangs. Its body was covered with bluish-black scales, somewhat like dragon scales, and its hands had been completely transformed into sharp claws.

More importantly, the aura emanating from its body has indeed reached the third rank!

As soon as the refining corpse appeared, it unleashed its corpse aura and charged towards the oncoming Fire God Jackal.

On one side are fiery jackals bathed in raging flames, and on the other are deathly corpse puppets exuding an overwhelming aura of death.

The two met head-on in the air and immediately engaged in a fierce battle.

The Vulcan had previously fought against the zombie that Han Yuan's corpse had transformed into in Yang Kingdom, so it had some experience.

Compared to that zombie, the strength of the mutated corpse in front of them was undoubtedly much weaker.

After exchanging only a few blows, the demonic fire spewed by the Fire God Jackal completely suppressed the corpse energy on the refined corpse, and the wolf claws also left several wounds on the refined corpse.

However, the dark blue scales on the corpse were extremely hard, and the corpse's body was indestructible. Even though its wolf claws were equally sharp, they could only penetrate a few inches into the flesh when they landed on it, making it difficult to inflict a fatal blow on the corpse.

However, the physical condition of a corpse refiner is closely related to the corpse energy within it. Once too much corpse energy is depleted, the corpse refiner's physical body will no longer have such strong defense, and its recovery speed will be difficult to keep up.

If demonic beasts recover from their injuries through vitality, then corpse energy is the vitality of corpse refining.

But the corpse energy of a third-tier refined corpse is incredibly dense. Unless it encounters a nemesis like the "corpse moth" or an opponent whose strength far surpasses its own, it would be extremely difficult to defeat it.

If the Fire God Jackal wanted to completely eliminate its corpse aura, it would probably take at least an hour.

How could the master of the corpse-refining technique sit idly by and watch the Fire God Jackal display his power!

At that time, after releasing the corpse-refining technique to resist the Fire God Jackal, the thin, tall middle-aged man then summoned a black banner, releasing thick black smoke to cover and protect himself.

Instead of helping the corpse refiner fight the Fire God Jackal, he focused on using the coffin nail artifact to attack Zhou Chun.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun cried out in frustration, "I have no grudge against you, senior! Why do you insist on killing me?!"

After saying that, he added, "Even if I'm really to die, at least let me die knowing why!"

The second update is here!
