Chapter 380 A Narrow Escape [Please Subscribe]

Boom!

With a deafening roar in the sky, a massive crimson fire cloud erupted and spread across the heavens.

The power of a third-tier superior attack talisman should not be underestimated. When the silver-robed youth rushed out, his hair was disheveled, and he looked somewhat disheveled.

He only looked a bit disheveled; thanks to the powerful magical artifact bestowed upon him by his elders, a third-grade high-level magic talisman couldn't harm him.

But as soon as he charged out, before he could continue his pursuit of Zhou Chun, he saw swarms of golden flying insects rushing towards him from all directions.

Bang bang bang!

Deep explosions echoed in the air, each sound representing the self-destruction of a "Mysterious Armored Golden Feather".

After realizing he was no match for the silver-robed youth, Zhou Chun gritted his teeth and used the secret technique "Insect Explosion," causing the golden flying insects close to the silver-robed youth to self-destruct in order to delay him.

He himself turned and fled.

But how could the silver-robed youth just stand by and watch him escape?

Suddenly, the man raised his hand and patted the storage bag at his waist. A silver-white round umbrella-shaped magical artifact floated out and hovered above his head, emitting a silver-white protective shield that enveloped him.

Then he raised his hand and cast a burst of magic onto the umbrella, which then began to spin rapidly, automatically releasing bolts of lightning as thick as chopsticks that struck the golden flying insects.

Thus, protected by the silver-white round umbrella magic artifact, the silver-robed youth easily broke through the golden swarm of insects and quickly chased after Zhou Chun.

Boom!

After chasing for a short distance, the silver-robed youth raised his hand and made a hand seal, summoning silver-white lightning to strike Zhou Chun.

Zhou Chun seemed to have made up his mind to escape, focusing all his efforts on activating his protective magic artifacts and spells to build up his defenses, and enduring the silver-robed youth's attacks as he fled.

After making several such moves, seeing that ordinary methods were not very effective against Zhou Chun, the silver-robed youth unleashed his killing move.

But then he once again summoned the silver-white thunder drum artifact and activated the Soul-Sealing Thunder Sound.

As before, after the thunderous sound, Zhou Chun's body trembled, and he almost fell from the sky.

This thunderous sound not only possesses a powerful shockwave that can injure the physical body, but it also has an extremely strong offensive effect on the soul.

Fortunately, Zhou Chun had already opened his Purple Mansion and condensed his divine soul, so he was only slightly distracted.

If it were a Foundation Establishment cultivator who had not yet condensed their divine soul, they would probably be instantly annihilated by the sound of this thunder.

Taking advantage of Zhou Chun's distraction due to the thunderous sound, the silver-robed youth unhesitatingly urged his silver-white spear to shoot towards Zhou Chun.

By the time Zhou Chun regained his senses, the lightning spear was already within reach.

Bang!

With a loud bang, Zhou Chun's protective aura was finally shattered by the lightning spear, and the golden insect armor inside was also blasted open.

Fortunately, Zhou Chun had a layer of hard dragon scale armor inside, which prevented him from being pierced by the lightning spear.

But this attack also caused him to roar in pain, and he immediately swung his dragon claws to grab the silver-white spear, as if he wanted to break it.

"You're asking for it, kid!"

A cold glint flashed in the silver-robed youth's eyes, and his hands quickly formed hand seals. Lightning snakes danced wildly on the silver-white spear, engulfing Zhou Chun completely.

hoo hoo hoo!

A roar filled with pain rang out from Zhou Chun's mouth. He involuntarily loosened his grip on the spear, his whole body aching and throbbing from the lightning strike.

At this moment, Zhou Chun finally understood the pain of those who had fought against the Silver Lightning Python in vain.

Lightning magic truly lives up to its reputation as the strongest magic in the cultivation world. It has both destructive power and speed, and it also comes with a powerful paralyzing and control effect.

Even when he unleashed the third level of the "Dragon Transformation Secret Technique," transforming into a half-dragon, half-human form, he still could not withstand the power of the thunder.

After retracting his silver-white spear, the silver-robed youth looked at Zhou Chun, who was only slightly smoking from the lightning strike, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes, as if he was amazed by the strength of Zhou Chun's physical body.

His eyes flickered, and he looked at Zhou Chun thoughtfully, slowly saying, "Boy, I seem to have heard of your secret technique of transforming into a dragon somewhere before. If you're willing to offer up this technique and the Thousand-Year Thunder Grass, I might spare your life and make you my dog!"

I'll make you my dog!

Hearing such humiliating words, even someone like Zhou Chun, who had been tempered for over a hundred years, felt his eyes twitch and anger rise from his heart.

His gaze was fixed on the silver-robed youth, and he said in a low voice, "Since you are so arrogant, would you dare to leave your name and background? If I, Han, am fortunate enough to survive today, I will certainly come to your door to learn from you another day!"

Zhou Chun would never normally say such things.

Because anyone who isn't a fool would never reveal their background when committing murder and robbery.

But the arrogant words of the silver-robed youth made him decide to give it a try, as a way of responding to the other party's arrogant words.

Sure enough, upon hearing his words, the silver-robed youth's eyes turned cold, and he said in a chilling voice, "You have some nerve, brat, daring to provoke this young master!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he sneered, "But what harm is there in telling you? Do you think I, this young master, am afraid of the revenge of a dead man?"

After saying that, he stared at Zhou Chun and shouted, "Listen up, kid! The one who killed you is Wang Jun from Thunder Cliff Valley!"

Before his shout had even finished, he hurled the silver-white spear in his hand, which shot towards Zhou Chun like a bolt of silver lightning.

At the same time, he raised his hand and flicked out a silver-white lightning bolt that struck the thunder drum artifact, activating its soul-capturing thunderous sound.

Although it's the same move as before, as the saying goes, "one trick is all you need to succeed."

His combo moves have always been effective.

Unfortunately, it seems he miscalculated this time.

A beam of azure light shot up from Zhou Chun's body, quickly transforming into a blue light curtain that enveloped him.

When the soul-capturing thunderous sound struck, the azure light barrier merely trembled for a moment before blocking its power.

Without the influence of the soul-capturing thunder, Zhou Chun inside immediately activated his half-damaged golden longsword magic weapon to meet the silver-white spear that shot towards him.

boom!

After a loud bang, the golden longsword magic weapon finally succumbed to the pressure and was powerfully shattered by the silver-white spear.

However, thanks to the little time it bought, Zhou Chun's subsequent "Sky-Splitting Blade" spell with its claws successfully neutralized the attack from the silver-white spear.

Then Zhou Chun suddenly accelerated, quickly transforming into a golden rainbow and flying away.

"Where do you think you're going, kid!"

With a roar, the silver-robed youth immediately put away his magical artifact and formed a hand seal, transforming into a streak of silver lightning that chased after Zhou Chun.

His escape speed was faster than Zhou Chun's, so he wasn't afraid of Zhou Chun escaping.

But just as he had chased after Zhou Chun for a short distance and was about to catch up, a talisman glowing with a blue spiritual light suddenly struck him head-on, exploding instantly into a storm cage that trapped him inside.

This is another third-tier high-grade magic talisman, and a rare wind-based spell to trap enemies.

The silver-robed youth was trapped in the storm's cage; though his life was not in danger, he was unable to escape.

After he shattered the storm cage and escaped, Zhou Chun had already distanced himself from him by dozens of miles.

After chasing and fleeing for a hundred or two miles, Zhou Chun, who was speeding through the sky, suddenly descended and plunged headfirst into the ground below.

He had already flown over a vast body of water, below which lay a huge lake with rippling water.

With a "plop," Zhou Chun's figure disappeared from the sight of the silver-robed youth behind him.

A moment later, the silver-robed youth arrived above where Zhou Chun had entered the water and, without hesitation, cast a spell to summon lightning to blast the water below.

A flash of silvery-white lightning appeared in the water, instantly killing all the fish and shrimp within a radius of several miles. Countless poor fish floated to the surface, their white bellies turned white.

But there was no sign of Zhou Chun after she entered the water.

Upon seeing this, the silver-robed youth's expression immediately changed.

His face darkened as he surveyed the waters below, and he couldn't help but sneer, "Hmph, in such a short time, I don't believe you can run very far!"

As he spoke, he summoned the Thunder Drum artifact again, directly activating it to emit a series of thunderous "thump-thump" sounds.

Thunder roared, and fish and birds vanished.

Under the terrifying shockwave attack, all the birds flying in the sky and the shrimp and crabs hiding in the mud and sand at the bottom of the lake exploded and died on the spot, turning into a mass of bloody residue.

Even the fish that had already been electrocuted on the lake surface exploded.

The once clear lake water turned dark red, resembling a demonic realm.

However, no matter how the silver-robed youth probed with his divine sense, he could not detect any abnormal fluctuations, as if Zhou Chunzhen had completely left this place.

The silver-robed youth could no longer hold back.

With an angry expression, he quickly flew across the lake, relentlessly activating the Thunder Drum artifact, attempting to find Zhou Chun with its soul-capturing thunderous sound.

However, this approach yielded no results other than causing heavy casualties among the fish and shrimp in the lake.

After searching the entire area of ​​hundreds of miles, the silver-robed youth finally had to stop because his magical power was too depleted.

He hovered high in the sky, roaring like thunder, "You insolent brat, I know you're still hiding here! Don't let me see you again, or I'll make sure your soul is scattered and you're reduced to ashes!"

After saying that, he rubbed his hands together in a venting manner, summoning a bolt of lightning that fell into the water, and then turned and left the place.

In the blink of an eye, half a day had passed.

A flock of waterbirds seemed to have smelled the aroma of food and flew down to the lake to devour the floating fish carcasses.

Gradually, some low-level cultivators also mustered up their courage and came to the lakeside, seemingly hoping to take advantage of the situation.

However, the lake, now calm again, contained nothing but some churning fish carcasses.

"Could I have really guessed wrong?"

In the clouds above the sky, Wang Jun, a young man in silver robes, rode a white eagle back and forth, his face looking very grim.

It turned out that he hadn't really left; he had only created the illusion of leaving while secretly making a comeback and keeping a watchful eye on the lake.

"Forget it, I'll have the intelligence department of the sect keep an eye out for that kid. A cultivator who knows insect-repelling techniques and has a golden-winged tiger mount should be easy to identify!"

Shaking his head, the silver-robed youth finally gave up the idea of ​​continuing to wait and rode away on his flying eagle.

Seven days later, a figure flashed on the surface of the lake, revealing Zhou Chun's figure.

At this moment, Zhou Chun was pale and weak, looking as if he had suffered a great loss of vitality.

He was indeed severely weakened!

Previously, in order to conceal his presence, he hid in the silt at the bottom of the lake, hundreds of feet deep, and withstood the silver-robed youth's lightning spells and soul-capturing thunder attacks.

Although the lake water and silt blocked the attack and dispersed much of its force, he was still seriously injured by the attack, which he had to withstand with his bare body.

At the same time, because he had been activating the "Dragon Transformation Secret Technique" for a long time, his body also suffered a considerable backlash after the secret technique ended.

With the two factors combined, his injuries became even more severe.

"Wang Jun of Leiya Valley, I'll remember you!"

Zhou Chun looked up at the direction of Tianyuan Immortal City, his eyes icy cold.

He hadn't been this disheveled in years, and he hadn't faced a life-or-death situation like this in countless years.

Since he established his foundation, this was the first time he had suffered so much at the hands of a cultivator of the same realm.

This made it difficult for him not to remember the silver-robed youth, Wang Jun.

The saying goes, "A gentleman takes his revenge, even after ten years."

For cultivators seeking revenge, even a hundred years is but a fleeting moment.

Zhou Chun is no match for the silver-robed youth Wang Jun, so he can only keep this grudge to himself.

When he has the strength to take revenge in the future, he will definitely come back to the Great Zhou Kingdom to seek revenge.

Due to the severe injuries he sustained, Zhou Chun had to postpone his return to his family.

After leaving that large lake, he didn't dare go to the market or other places where cultivators gathered. He just found a mountain peak with sparse spiritual energy and dug a cave to use as a temporary dwelling.

"This is a huge loss! Not only did I lose a mid-grade third-tier magic artifact, but I also used up three of the five newly purchased high-grade third-tier magic talismans, and the two types of demonic insects I've painstakingly cultivated for many years were also destroyed here!"

Inside the temporary cave, Zhou Chun woke up from his meditation after taking a healing pill. He felt a pang of heartache as he recalled the losses he had suffered in his battle with the silver-robed youth, Wang Jun.

In the past, he always had the upper hand when fighting his enemies, and each time he achieved considerable success.

This time, however, he not only gained nothing but also suffered numerous injuries, resulting in a huge loss.

But this is the world of cultivation!

No one can have a smooth journey without encountering any setbacks.

This failure served as a wake-up call for Zhou Chun, and broadened his horizons.

This allowed him to truly witness the strength of the core disciples of those powerful forces, giving him a higher goal for his future cultivation.

For the next month, Zhou Chun stayed indoors in his temporary cave to heal and recuperate.

After a month of recuperation, his injuries, aided by elixirs, had mostly healed and were no longer significantly affecting his journey.

So he did not stay in the Great Zhou Kingdom any longer and immediately set off to return to his family.

I'm almost ready to be discharged from the hospital. I'll try to resume updating twice a week next Monday.
