Beast Taming Immortal Clan

Chapter 322 Don't Say You Weren't Warning Me [Please Subscribe]

Why the thin, middle-aged man from the Corpse Demon Cult was determined to kill him was indeed a question that Zhou Chun couldn't understand.

Logically speaking, the other party, a cultivator at the Purple Mansion stage from the most powerful force in Feng Kingdom, even if he didn't care about the sect's reputation, even if he just wanted to take advantage of the situation on a whim.

After seeing him release the Fire God Jackal, you should have known to stop.

After all, neither the Fire God Jackal's own strength nor the power represented by a mid-grade third-tier demonic beast spirit pet is easy to deal with.

There is absolutely no need to take such a risk for the sake of the mere wealth of a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator.

But the thin, middle-aged man's current actions were something he couldn't understand.

That's why he couldn't help but ask the question.

Of course, his words had no effect on his actions.

While questioning the thin, middle-aged man, he also quickly formed hand seals and performed the "Ancestral Revival" secret technique on the Silver Lightning Python for nothing.

He knew very well that against a cultivator at the Purple Mansion stage, with his own limited cultivation and strength, he would probably be beheaded in just a few moves.

Only after the Silver Lightning Python transforms into a Thunder Dragon can it have some effect.

The thin, middle-aged man did not initially answer Zhou Chun's question.

Only after seeing Lei Jiao Bai Bai appear did his eyes turn cold, and he said in a deep voice, "In that case, you can't be allowed to live!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly used the coffin nail magic weapon to strike Lei Jiao Bai Bai.

Given the precedent of the golden raccoon being killed in one blow, how could Zhou Chun dare to let it take the attack of this third-tier magic weapon for nothing?

With a thought, he directly activated the "Lightning Flash" spell, and his body instantly disappeared from the spot.

When the figure reappeared, it was near the battlefield between the Fire God Jackal and the Corpse Refiner.

Then, a flash of lightning appeared, and several silver bolts of lightning descended from the sky, striking the corpse precisely.

Lightning can ward off evil. Even if Bai Bai's cultivation level is less than the third rank, the effect of this lightning strike on the corpse is no worse than that of an ordinary third-rank spell.

Furthermore, out of instinctive fear, after being struck by lightning, the corpse-refining creature developed a great fear of the lightning that followed, and made several attempts to dodge.

Given the speed of lightning, it's impossible to dodge it; doing so would be futile.

But once it instinctively dodges, the Vulcan jackal can free up some of its energy to attack the thin, tall middle-aged man.

Thus, the situation on the battlefield became like this.

The thin, middle-aged man used his corpse-refining technique to hold back the Fire God Jackal, preventing it from attacking him with its full strength.

Meanwhile, Lei Jiao Bai Bai focused all his efforts on bombarding the corpse-refining creature, preventing it from holding back the Fire God Jackal.

In this situation, the thin, middle-aged man even needed to use some secret techniques of the Corpse Demon Cult to enhance the combat power of the corpse-refining creature in order to continue fighting against the Fire God Jackal.

Furthermore, whether he attacked Zhou Chun or Lei Jiao Bai Bai, he could not exert his full strength and had to devote some of his attention to guarding against the Fire God Jackal's sudden attack.

At the same time, he also had to try to suppress the instinctive fear and avoidance of lightning in the corpse's consciousness, so that it could continue to do its best to hold off the Fire God Jackal.

This gave Zhou Chun more breathing room.

In Zhou Chun's hands, there was now another Tier 3 defensive spell talisman and another Tier 3 offensive spell talisman.

Over the years, apart from leaving one defensive talisman for Zhou Daoquan, the rest of the third-tier magic talismans that the Zhou family obtained were basically distributed to Zhou Chun.

Both Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi possess third-tier demonic beast spirit pets, ensuring their safety.

As the head of the Zhou family, Zhou Chun was only at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, so he did need such a higher-level magic talisman for self-defense and protection.

However, using a third-tier magic talisman with a Foundation Establishment stage cultivation level would consume a lot of mana.

With Zhou Chun's current magical power, he can only use four cards at most before he depletes all his magical power.

He must use every third-tier spell card at the most crucial moments.

After the tall, thin man attacked repeatedly and finally broke through the protective shield formed by the first defensive talisman, Zhou Chun immediately added a second defensive talisman.

As a golden light rose, a phantom image resembling a bronze bell enveloped Zhou Chun. The attack from the thin, tall middle-aged man only slightly dimmed the color of the phantom image, failing to truly break through its defenses.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun shouted again, "I advise you to leave as soon as possible, senior. Otherwise, if any seniors who have grudges against the Corpse Demon Sect pass by and see that you can't even defeat a junior like me who is only at the Foundation Establishment stage, they might come up to slay the demons and avenge themselves!"

He knew he posed no threat to a cultivator at the Purple Mansion stage, so he didn't waste his mana on anything else and simply used his verbal skills to distract the other party.

Whether this will be effective or not is up to fate; in any case, doing something is better than doing nothing.

Despite Zhou Chun's verbal interference, the thin, middle-aged man made no response.

He didn't respond to Zhou Chun at all, but instead kept looking for an opportunity to attack Zhou Chun or Lei Jiao Bai Bai with a cold expression.

After fighting like this for about half an hour, Zhou Chun's second defensive talisman seemed to be about to run out of power, and at the same time, Lei Jiao Bai Bai was about to exit the dragon form and enter a period of weakness.

This situation also made Zhou Chun extremely anxious.

Although he had many third-tier magic talismans, he only had two defensive magic talismans.

Once the power of the second defensive talisman is exhausted, relying solely on his own strength, he will likely find it difficult to withstand three moves from the thin, tall middle-aged man.

Moreover, once Bai Bai can no longer maintain his dragon form, he will lose his ability to threaten the third-tier refined corpse, and the thin, tall middle-aged man will be able to concentrate more of his power to attack him.

The situation was extremely unfavorable for him.

"Vulcan Jackal, can you hurry up and finish off that zombie? I can't hold on much longer!"

After racking his brains for various ideas but failing to come up with a good solution, Zhou Chun could only place his hopes on the Fire God Jackal and loudly urged it on.

Under normal circumstances, Zhou Chun would not give any combat orders to the Fire God Jackal, and in fact, it would be difficult to command it.

But now, faced with life and death, Zhou Chun was forced into a corner and had no choice but to make an exception.

As a mid-grade third-tier demon beast, and having accompanied its master Zhou Mingde for over a hundred years, the Fire God Jackal naturally understood human speech.

After hearing Zhou Chun's words, it also glanced at the almost invisible golden bell phantom outside Zhou Chun.

Then a look of human-like contemplation appeared in the wolf's eyes.

When Zhou Mingde entrusted it to Zhou Chun, he must have instructed it to protect Zhou Chun.

However, Zhou Chun is not Zhou Mingde, so it is obviously impossible to expect it to protect Zhou Chun without fear of death as it protected Zhou Mingde.

Therefore, it is not surprising that it hesitated at this time.

Fortunately, after a brief period of deliberation, it still made a choice that was beneficial to Zhou Chun.

Suddenly, it let out a wolf howl, its aura surged dramatically, and a crimson glint appeared in its wolf eyes.

Then it lunged forward, blasting the corpse away.

It immediately stopped fighting the corpse and turned to pounce on the thin, middle-aged man.

Seeing this, the thin, tall middle-aged man hurriedly manipulated the refining corpse to chase after the Fire God Jackal, while temporarily halting his attack on Zhou Chun and focusing all his efforts on defending against the Fire God Jackal's attacks.

But at this moment, not only did the Vulcan's cultivation level surge, but his physical attributes also seemed to have been enhanced.

Its speed was much faster than before, and its attacks were much sharper. The speed of the corpse refiner could no longer keep up with it, and it could no longer restrain it.

In desperation, the thin middle-aged man could only use the refining corpse as a human shield to block and defend against the close-range attacks of the Fire God Jackal.

In this way, the Vulcan Jackal also managed to hold back the thin, middle-aged man and the corpse refiner by himself, thus buying Zhou Chun a chance to escape.

Zhou Chun, of course, would not waste this opportunity.

He immediately leaped onto Lei Jiao Bai Bai's back, ready to make his escape.

The Fire God Jackal is already a mature third-tier demon beast. Even if Zhou Chun escapes first and they separate, it will find a way to shake off the enemy and escape the battlefield after Zhou Chun escapes safely. Then it will find a secluded place to hide and wait for its master, Zhou Mingde, to come and find it.

Therefore, Zhou Chun was not worried about the safety of the Fire God Jackal when he made his escape.

What neither Zhou Chun nor the thin, middle-aged man expected was that just as Zhou Chun landed on Lei Jiao Bai Bai's back and was about to slip away, a righteous and eloquent voice suddenly rang out on the battlefield.

"Fellow Daoist, do not be alarmed! I, Zhao, have come to assist you in slaying demons and eliminating evil!"

As soon as the words were spoken, a crimson figure rose into the air from a grove of trees near the battlefield and plunged straight into the heart of the battlefield.

This person was dressed in a red robe and had the appearance of a middle-aged man with three long wisps of beard under his chin, giving him a refined and scholarly air.

Judging from the aura emanating from this person, he was also a cultivator in the Purple Mansion stage!

The moment this person appeared on the battlefield, both sides were taken aback.

The difference is that after the initial surprise, Zhou Chun quickly realized that he might not need to run away anymore.

On the other hand, the thin, middle-aged man felt a sinking feeling in his heart, and his expression instantly turned ugly.

Sure enough, once the long-bearded middle-aged man entered the battlefield, he immediately summoned a crimson flying sword and attacked the thin, tall middle-aged man.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Chun's eyes flashed with joy. He immediately put Bai Bai into his spirit beast bag and then activated a third-tier attack talisman in his hand.

A bluish-red flame flashed in the sky, and a bluish-red fireball the size of a cartwheel shone brightly in the air. Then, under Zhou Chun's control, it bombarded the thin, tall middle-aged man.

"Very well, fellow Daoist, you have great courage!"

The middle-aged man with the long beard exclaimed in admiration, and then he followed suit, forming hand seals and performing some kind of sword technique.

In an instant, the crimson flying sword that was about to reach the thin, middle-aged man blazed with intense flames, suddenly transforming into a flaming greatsword over ten feet long, which slashed at the approaching corpse.

With just this one sword strike, the demigod was sent flying backward, and a gruesome, charred sword mark appeared on its dark blue-green dragon scales.

Immediately afterwards, a cyan-red fireball, controlled by Zhou Chun, crashed down from the sky, striking the black smoke cloud where the thin, tall middle-aged man was hiding.

Rumble!

A violent explosion resounded through the sky, and the black smoke cloud that the thin, middle-aged man had used for self-defense dissipated in the explosion.

Before he could use any other methods, the crimson pillar of fire spewed by the Fire God Jackal struck the black smoke cloud once more.

The successive bombardments quickly destroyed the defenses erected by the thin, middle-aged man, allowing his true appearance to reappear in Zhou Chun's sight.

His face darkened, and he hastily waved the black banner in his hand, once again creating a black cloud barrier around himself. He then glared at the long-bearded middle-aged man and shouted, "How dare you! Do you know the consequences of offending my Corpse Demon Sect?"

Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, the long-bearded middle-aged man's eyes flashed with a cold light, and then he burst into loud laughter: "Hahahaha, I killed the disciples of the Corpse Demon Cult!"

Although he was laughing, there was no joy in his laughter, only deep-seated hatred.

Clearly, this middle-aged man with the long beard had some kind of deep-seated hatred for the Corpse Demon Cult.

Zhou Chun guessed that he was likely a survivor from one of the sects or families that were wiped out by the Corpse Demon Sect in Feng Kingdom back then.

So he quickly shouted to the Vulcan Jackal, "Vulcan Jackal, cooperate with this senior and do everything in your power to kill this monstrous beast!"

Upon hearing this, the Vulcan couldn't help but turn around and glance at him, a hint of arrogance flashing in its wolf eyes, as if it disliked his command.

This made Zhou Chun frown, and a hint of worry appeared in his eyes.

Considering the sudden surge in the Vulcan Jackal's strength just now, he vaguely guessed what was going on.

Fortunately, the Vulcan Jackal seemed to be only warning him and still chose to carry out his orders, immediately launching a fierce attack on the thin, tall middle-aged man with all its might.

Meanwhile, the middle-aged man with the long beard launched a fierce attack on the refining corpse with his sword, preventing it from providing support to the thin, tall middle-aged man.

Without the help of the corpse refiner, the thin, middle-aged man faced the fierce attack of the Fire God Jackal alone, and soon found himself unable to withstand the onslaught, falling into a completely disadvantageous position.

Like many Zhou family cultivators, the greatest strength of the Corpse Demon Sect disciples comes from their corpse refining abilities. Their combat power is often inferior to that of other cultivators of the same level who focus on their own abilities.

Now, relying solely on his own strength, the thin, tall middle-aged man is no match for a mid-grade, third-tier demon beast, the Fire God Jackal.

Not long after, the thin, middle-aged man was almost ripped out of his heart by the Vulcan jackal.

This frightened him so much that he immediately lost all will to fight. He hurriedly relayed the order to the corpse-refining creature to stop the Fire God Jackal with all his might, then quickly turned around, abandoned the corpse-refining creature, and fled as a black streak of light.

Although a third-tier refined corpse is very precious, it is nothing compared to one's own life.

"Trying to escape? Have you even asked the sword in my hand before you did?"

The middle-aged man with the long beard frowned, immediately channeled his magic power, forced out a mouthful of blood and spat it onto the crimson flying sword. Then, he formed hand seals and used all his strength to control the flying sword to chase after the fleeing, thin, middle-aged man.

With the power of the cultivator's essence blood, the crimson flying sword was indeed as fast as lightning, catching up with the black escape light in just a few breaths.

Immediately afterwards, a scream was heard, and a black figure fell to the ground.

The middle-aged man with the long beard did not relax at all. He immediately made a sword gesture and guided the crimson flying sword in mid-air to slash down at the figure that had landed.

Only after watching the figure being cleaved in two by the flying sword did he finally breathe a sigh of relief, and a genuine smile finally appeared on his face.

I have something to say. In a few days, I'll be leaving my hometown to go to a warmer place to write. I expect to be busy looking for a place to live for a few days, so I'm afraid I won't have time to write. Therefore, I'll only update once every three or four days, saving two chapters to ensure I don't miss any updates. Once things settle down, I'll try my best to update twice a day!
