Beast Taming Immortal Clan

Chapter 448 Ruthless Destruction of Flowers and Bewitching Heavenly Melodies [Long Chapter, Please Subscribe]

Although Qingweizi had always known about Zhou Chun's cultivation of the "Dragon Transformation Secret Technique".

However, the Hualong Sect has long been classified as an evil sect. If Zhou Chun, a disciple of the Qinglian Temple's leader, were to use the "Hualong Secret Technique" on the battlefield, wouldn't that be a slap in the face to his master?

Moreover, his current foundation of the "Dragon Transformation Secret Technique" has been transformed into the bloodline of the Thunder Dragon Bai Bai. Now that he is using it, it is as if he is telling those in the know that his spirit pet Bai Bai is not a Thunder Python at all, but a real third-order Thunder Dragon!

Therefore, even though he could engage in close combat with the demonic cultivators of the Beast Demon Palace after using the "Dragon Transformation Secret Technique," he never had such thoughts from beginning to end.

Seeing the Leopard-tailed Witch suddenly appear and attack him, Zhou Chun was startled and hurriedly activated the [Mysterious Gang Pearl] to protect himself.

In an instant, all Zhou Chun could see in front of him was the leopard-tailed witch's hot and alluring figure. Even the blue leather armor that the leopard-tailed witch was wearing had disappeared, and her curvaceous figure was revealed to Zhou Chun in full detail.

not good!

After a brief moment of distraction, Zhou Chun quickly regained his senses and hurriedly began to fully circulate the "Heart Lotus Righteous Dharma" to purify his mind.

When he finally broke free from the illusion, the sight before him made him break out in a cold sweat.

But the leopard-tailed witch was like a wildcat with its fur standing on end, frantically slapping at the black shield around him with her claws, creating a series of afterimages.

The seemingly indestructible black shield was already riddled with cracks and looked on the verge of breaking.

What alarmed Zhou Chun even more was that even Shi Tou, who had previously been extremely resistant to the bewitching magic sound, was now unknowingly affected and stood there stunned, failing to defend against him for a long time!

"Aren't you awake yet!"

Zhou Chun suddenly stomped hard on the tortoise shell under his feet, and with a thunderous roar, he cast a wake-up spell on his beloved pet.

As a result, the stone, which had been standing there with a dazed look in its eyes, suddenly roared and finally came to its senses.

Immediately, a bright earthy-yellow spiritual light shone from its body, and suddenly a gravity field was formed with itself as the center, and the gravity within the field increased dozens of times!

In this situation, the leopard-tailed witch, who could previously swing her claws several times in a single breath, suddenly transformed from an invincible cat-like punch into a slow and leisurely Tai Chi-like movement, swinging her claws as slowly as an old lady practicing Tai Chi.

Such a change naturally startled the Leopard-tailed Witch, who hurriedly tried to unleash her strength to retreat.

But the reason Stone released the gravity field first was because he was afraid she would run away!

For the Golden Armor Mountain-Carrying Turtle Stone, it is not afraid of enemies attacking it at all; what it fears is enemies constantly attacking it from a distance in mid-air.

Many of its methods are not very effective against enemies that are mostly in mid-air.

But if anyone dares to approach it, it will show its enemies what pain is!

At this moment, it first used its gravity field to restrict the speed of the Leopard-tailed Witch, and then it spat out "Golden Magnetic Glow" which swept towards the Leopard-tailed Witch.

Because of the close proximity and the fact that her speed was restricted by the gravity field, the Leopard-tailed Witch was unable to dodge the golden light attack.

She could only activate the blue leather armor she was wearing with all her might, releasing a blue light shield to protect herself.

However, after the golden light fell on the blue light shield, even though there was still a shield in between, the pair of silver beast claw magic weapons in her hands involuntarily detached from her hands and flew towards the golden light.

The protective shield itself also dimmed and weakened rapidly as the golden glow faded.

"Damn it! What kind of trick is this?!"

The Leopard-tailed Demoness, her face filled with panic, couldn't help but curse aloud as she hurriedly reached out to grab the two beast-claw magical artifacts.

These two beast claw artifacts are the most important artifacts she possesses. They were crafted by someone after she went through great lengths to find the materials and have them custom-made for her.

She certainly wouldn't give up this magical artifact easily.

But to her surprise, Zhou Chun suddenly made a move, sending a golden chain through the blue light shield and landing in her hand.

In an instant, she felt her magical power falter, as if she were wearing shackles.

Her physical body was already shackled by the existence of the gravity field, and now her magical cultivation was also put in a shackle. She was trapped both inside and out, and had no control over her own life.

Taking advantage of the opportunity when Zhou Chun locked her up, Shi Tou charged straight at her, intending to give her a bullshit like he had when he hit Jiang Zhong!

Just then, the witch of the Valley of Love finally made her move again.

Suddenly, the woman took out a white pearl and threw it at Zhou Chun's servant, then detonated the pearl halfway through its flight.

Suddenly, a zither melody filled with the spirit of war resounded in Zhou Chun's mind, as if countless swords were slashing at his soul, causing him unbearable pain and making him scream in agony.

Then, due to the pain in his soul, he lost the ability to maintain the [Heart-to-Heart Golden Lock] secret technique and dissipated the technique on his own.

Similarly, the Golden Armor Mountain-Carrying Turtle Stone also seemed to have been attacked in its soul, constantly roaring and its body shaking violently.

Fortunately, its gravitational field is closely connected to its own magical power, so even if its soul and consciousness are damaged, it will not immediately collapse.

Moreover, the music didn't just attack Zhou Chun and his servant; even the Leopard-tailed Witch was not spared. At this moment, she, like Zhou Chun, was also attacked by the music and let out a scream.

When Zhou Chun recovered from the attack of the zither music, he saw that the Leopard Tail Witch had been entangled by a white ribbon magic artifact and was being dragged towards the Enchanting Valley Witch!

"Witch please leave!"

Zhou Chun roared angrily and immediately raised his arm and swung it. A golden blade of light flew out and slashed at the back of the Leopard-tailed Witch with lightning speed.

what! !

With a scream, the blue leather armor on the leopard-tailed witch's back was cleaved through by a single slash, revealing a deep, gruesome wound that exposed bone.

It was only because her cultivation had reached the late stage of the Purple Mansion realm and her physical body was comparable to that of a demon beast of the same level that she was able to escape with her life.

If it were an ordinary late-stage Purple Mansion cultivator, being struck head-on by Zhou Chun's [Golden罡 Slash], they would definitely have been cut in two!

The excruciating pain also caused the Leopard-tailed Witch to regain consciousness ahead of schedule.

She turned her head and glared fiercely at Zhou Chun, a terrifying glint appearing in her amber leopard eyes. Then, she swiftly flashed away, breaking free from the white ribbon magic artifact and appearing not far from the Enchanting Valley Witch.

"Let's go too!"

With a low growl, she took out a healing pill and swallowed it, then grabbed the female cultivator from the Enchanting Valley and transformed into a streak of silver lightning as she fled.

Although she hadn't mastered the lightning escape technique, thanks to the talent of her demon beast bloodline, her flying escape technique was far superior to that of ordinary late-stage Purple Mansion cultivators, and Zhou Chun couldn't catch up with her at all.

But escaping isn't that easy for her!

Meanwhile, on the other side of the battlefield, Lei Mang Bai Bai had already assisted Yue Feng and the others in stopping the young cultivator from the Yin Gui Sect and blasting away most of the ghosts released by the opponent.

At this moment, Lei Mang Bai Bai, who was assisting the two in killing the enemy, seemed to have received some instructions. He immediately abandoned Yue Feng and Cheng Zhiming and rushed towards the direction in which the leopard-tailed witch had fled.

"That seems to be a lightning-based technique!"

On the battlefield, Yue Feng's expression changed slightly as he watched the lightning python, which transformed into silver lightning and disappeared thousands of feet away, and he was greatly surprised.

Previously, when fighting him, Lei Mang Bai Bai had never displayed such a stealth technique, otherwise he might have been defeated even faster.

His attention wavered for a moment, and his attacks against the young Yin Gui Sect cultivator became somewhat sluggish. Cheng Zhiming quickly noticed his abnormality and immediately shouted at him, "Vice Commander Yue, what are you thinking? Do you intend to let this demon escape?!"

"Vice Commander Cheng, you flatter me. I was merely worried that you might be a little distracted by the situation on your end, Commander. Why are you accusing me of such a thing?"

Yue Feng snapped out of his daze and hurriedly defended himself, while also questioning Cheng Zhiming in an unhappy tone.

Cheng Zhiming, however, remained calm and said, "Whether it's a accusation or not, Vice Commander Yue knows the answer in your heart, and the Commander surely knows as well. If this devil really gets away, I, Cheng, will not hide anything!"

"you……"

Yue Feng was furious and seemed about to yell at the other party, but he stopped himself when he saw Cheng Zhiming's fearless attitude.

He and Cheng Zhiming were not cultivators from the same country, so even though he came from a powerful family, Cheng Zhiming didn't really need to be afraid of him.

Moreover, he knew very well that when he was the commander, he had often given Cheng Zhiming a hard time. Now that the other party was clearly trying to curry favor with Zhou Chun, the new commander, he probably hoped that Cheng would give him the opportunity to pledge his loyalty!

How could he possibly let that scoundrel Cheng Zhiming succeed!

He immediately snorted coldly and said, "Hmph, I'll deal with these little devils first, then we'll settle this matter with you, Deputy Commander Cheng!"

Then he vented his anger on those demonic cultivators!

He cultivates fire-element techniques, which gives him an advantage in dealing with demonic cultivators, at least making it less difficult for him than for cultivators using other five elements techniques.

At this moment, with Yue Feng unleashing his full power and Cheng Zhiming assisting from the side, the young cultivator from the Yin Gui Sect, whose strength had been crippled by Lei Mang, was quickly overwhelmed by the two and was killed by Yue Feng's "Flying Star Flowing Fire Spear".

Subsequently, all the Foundation Establishment stage demonic cultivators were killed, with only two late Foundation Establishment stage demonic cultivators escaping using the Blood Escape Technique.

Yue Feng and his companion, on their way to help Zhou Chun, did not pursue the two small fry.

On the other side of the battlefield, after Lei Mang Bai Bai joined the pursuit using his lightning escape technique, the Leopard Tail Witch, who was fleeing with the Enchanting Valley Witch, was caught up with not long after.

However, the bewitching voice of the witch of the Enchanting Valley was really powerful, and the two of them had learned from their previous mistakes and no longer tried to attack Zhou Chun and Shi Tou at close range.

Furthermore, neither of them was significantly restrained by Lei Mang Bai Bai; on the contrary, they were somewhat restrained by Lei Mang Bai Bai, leaving Zhou Chun and his servants completely helpless against them!

Fortunately, Zhou Chun wasn't fighting alone at this point; he only needed to hold off the two witches and prevent them from escaping.

Once Yue Feng and Cheng Zhiming arrive to provide support, they will be able to defeat the two witches no matter what.

The two witches were well aware of this.

Therefore, after being forced to fight Zhou Chun and his two servants for a period of time, the two witches decided to split up and escape!

But the Leopard-tailed Witch was the first to move, using her speed to escape the battlefield and quickly flee towards the territory controlled by the Yuan Demon Legion.

Upon seeing this, Lei Mang Bai Bai immediately set off to pursue the Leopard-tailed Witch.

However, Zhou Chun quickly saw through the two witches' intentions, causing Lei Mang to abandon his pursuit of the Leopard Tail Witch and continue to relentlessly pursue the witch of the Enchanting Valley.

Sure enough, upon seeing the Thunder Python return empty-handed and targeting her alone, the Enchanting Valley witch finally lost her composure and cried out in alarm, "Sister Zheng, save me!"

But the leopard-tailed witch, who had already escaped, seemed not to have heard her cries for help and showed no intention of turning back.

This situation immediately left the Enchanting Valley Witch heartbroken, her eyes filled with despair.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun immediately looked at the Enchanting Valley witch with a stern expression and shouted, "Surrender! Your companions have already abandoned you, what's the point of your persistence? If you're willing to surrender, as long as you can reveal the information you know, you might still have a glimmer of hope!"

Capturing a surrendered witch alive is naturally a much greater achievement than killing her.

If Jiang Zhong hadn't known too many of his secrets, Zhou Chun would definitely have chosen to hand him over to the Heavenly Spirit Alliance instead of killing him directly!

"Surrender? No, that's impossible!"

The witch of Enchanted Valley shook her head in despair, then, with a death wish, she looked at Zhou Chun and hissed, "Since you're destined to die, then let me show you the Enchanting Heavenly Melody of Enchanted Valley!"

As she spoke, she suddenly closed her eyes, then gripped the bone flute with both hands and began to play a brand new demonic melody.

Zhou Chun also sensed something was wrong and hurriedly ordered his two spirit pets to join him in attacking the witch with all their might, hoping to kill her first.

However, the witch activated several defensive magical artifacts to protect herself, blocking the attacks of the three of them, master and servant.

Then the sound of the magic flute began to drift and linger, instantly causing various illusions to appear in the minds of Zhou Chun and his spirit pets.

Zhou Chun knew something was wrong, so while he was still conscious, he quickly woke up the Thunder Python and put it back into his spirit beast bag. Then he let the stone fall to the ground, and the two of them, the man and the turtle, fought against the demonic sound with all their might.

At this moment, besides activating the "Solid as a Golden Mountain" divine power to protect himself, Zhou Chun was also fully utilizing the "Heart Lotus Orthodox Method" to resist the invasion of the so-called "Bewitching Heavenly Sound".

The witch of Enchanted Valley was completely absorbed in playing her instrument, and she even stopped activating the defensive magical artifacts.

And if you look closely, you'll see that as she continues to play, blood beads begin to seep from her pores, and the bone flute in her hand is the first to be stained red by the blood flowing from her mouth, nostrils and eyes.

But she herself seemed completely unaware.

This is the price she paid for forcibly playing the "Enchanting Heavenly Melody"!

Originally, this was a demonic melody that only Golden Core cultivators could play. Now, she was forcibly playing it with her Purple Mansion cultivation. Although she could unleash considerable power, it would also cause a strong backlash against herself, ultimately leading to her death from the backlash!

But since both paths lead to certain death, it is better to die from exhaustion after fighting with all one's might than to die by the enemy's sword!

Looking at Zhou Chun and the stone servant, as the power of the demonic music grew stronger, both the man and the turtle began to change.

Zhou Chun bit her lip tightly, her expression tense, as if she were enduring immense pain, and cold sweat beaded on her forehead.

The stone, on the other hand, began to gradually petrify, as if it had encountered some great danger, forcing it to activate its petrification power to save its life!

After an unknown amount of time, Zhou Chun suddenly let out a furious roar and attacked his beloved pet, which had turned into a stone tortoise beneath him.

However, the stone has now transformed into a stone tortoise, with its defense and recovery abilities maxed out, rendering his attacks completely ineffective.

And he only attacked for a few dozen breaths before the demonic sound stopped abruptly.

This was certainly not because the witch of the Valley of Enchantment showed mercy, but because the player herself had already perished!

As the demonic sound ceased, the woman, now covered in blood, plummeted from the sky and crashed to the ground, instantly shattering into pieces, her flesh and bones completely destroyed!

Even her bone flute, a magical artifact, shattered into countless fragments the instant the demonic sound ceased.

"What a terrifying, demonic sound! What a domineering, demonic sound! What an evil, demonic sound!!"

Looking at the corpse on the ground, smashed into a bloody pulp, Zhou Chun was also filled with shock and let out several exclamations.

He never imagined that he would be forced into such a predicament by a mid-stage Purple Mansion demonic cultivator!

The strangeness of the demonic force that was Love Valley was truly beyond his expectations.

He also understood why Qingweizi, even though she was just using him, still taught him the second and third levels of the "Heart Lotus Orthodox Method".

It is conceivable that if he had not successfully cultivated the second level of the "Heart Lotus Orthodox Method" today, even with his many skills, he might have been controlled by the enchanting voice of the Enchantress of Love Valley and become a pitiful puppet to be played with at will!

"It seems I must master the 'Godslaying Technique' as soon as possible, otherwise, if I encounter a more powerful late-stage Purple Mansion Enchanting Valley Witch, I might not be able to withstand her with my current abilities!"

Zhou Chun wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, a determined look appearing in his eyes.

In fact, he has been studying and practicing the "God-Slaying Technique" for more than ten years, and his gains are not small. He is not far from mastering it completely.

Especially after mastering the second level of the "Heart Lotus True Method", he felt that his practice of the "God-Slaying Great Method" was more efficient than before, which was obviously a positive boost from the two.

If he were to master the "God-Slaying Technique," and encounter a similar situation again, he would only need to unleash the "God-Slaying Sword" to attack the opponent. Even if he couldn't kill the opponent on the spot, he could interrupt their demonic arts, causing them to suffer a backlash and making it difficult for them to use such demonic arts again.

They wouldn't even let that leopard-tailed witch escape in the first place!

Next, seeing that Yue Feng and Cheng Zhiming had not yet arrived, Zhou Chun first awakened the petrified stone to prevent the two from knowing that the stone had this trick up its sleeve.

He then placed the broken corpse on the ground into a stone coffin, and released the Thunder Python Bai Bai to ride towards the direction of his subordinates. On the way, he happened to meet Yue Feng and Cheng Zhiming, who had come to provide support.

When Zhou Chun learned from the two that the young cultivator from the Yin Ghost Sect had also been killed by Yue Feng, he felt relieved, knowing that he had achieved his minimum expected result for this attack.

This attack successfully killed two mid-stage Purple Mansion demonic cultivators, severely injured one late-stage Purple Mansion demonic cultivator, and killed more than forty Foundation Establishment stage demonic cultivators. It can be described as a great victory!

In particular, their losses were very small, with only five Foundation Establishment cultivators and more than thirty Qi Refining cultivators killed, which was nothing compared to their gains.

After acknowledging the contributions of his two subordinates, Zhou Chun briefly recounted his battle with the two witches, then waved his hand, signaling that it was time to withdraw and return to camp.

Not long after, Zhou Chun handed over his troops to two subordinates to take back to their base. He then took the captured demonic cultivator corpses, magical artifacts, and other items to the location of the superior battalion commander and personally reported on the situation of this troop deployment.

"Excellent, excellent! Commander Zhou truly lives up to his reputation as a young talent capable of slaying 'Corpse Fiend General' Jiang Zhong. To achieve such a feat on his very first battlefield appearance, it seems we will soon have another formidable contender for the position of 'Seven Heroes of Heavenly Spirit'!"

Inside the main hall, Wei Yong, the battalion commander who came from the Moon Wheel Sect, clapped his hands and laughed heartily after hearing Zhou Chun report the victory.

Hearing his undisguised praise, the other two Golden Core stage deputy commanders in the hall had slight changes in expression, and their gazes toward Zhou Chun became somewhat subtle.

With their experience and knowledge, how could these two not realize that Wei Yong was actively promoting Zhou Chun?

Otherwise, although Zhou Chun fought a brilliant battle and made great contributions, he should not have been praised so highly, especially since he was a newcomer who had been on the battlefield for less than a month.

Although they could see through it, regardless of their thoughts at that moment, neither of them would say anything discouraging under such circumstances; they simply kept the matter in mind.

After reporting the situation and handing over the spoils, Zhou Chun went back to his own post.

As for the subsequent publicity and promotion for him, that will naturally be handled by Qinglian Temple and Yuelun Sect, and the relevant rewards will have to wait for the statistics and verification from above before they can be implemented.

When Zhou Chun returned to his post, he could clearly feel the difference in how his soldiers looked at him.

If before he was only famous and powerful, inspiring awe...

So now that he has led his troops to a great victory so soon after taking office, the soldiers not only have awe of him, but also genuine support and recognition for him.

This is undoubtedly a good sign.

With many hands make light work. If Zhou Chun wants to achieve great things on the battlefield, he will inevitably need the assistance of his soldiers.

His soldiers genuinely supported and recognized him, so they executed his orders more thoroughly on the battlefield, and even when they were in a weak or adverse situation, they maintained a high fighting spirit.

"Commander, you're back! What did the Commander-in-Chief say? We've achieved such great success this time, is there any special reward from above?"

When Zhou Chun entered the council hall inside the camp, Yue Feng and Cheng Zhiming, who had been waiting for him, immediately came up to him and asked him about the reward with expectant looks.

"The Commander is very satisfied with our achievements and highly praised our performance. As for whether there will be any special rewards, that's a matter for the Rewards Department to decide!"

Zhou Chun responded calmly to Yue Feng's questions, and then inquired about the treatment of the wounded and the handling of the fallen.

Because they won, and the enemy didn't have time to destroy the evidence on the battlefield, most of their own cultivators who died in battle were able to preserve their bodies, though they were more or less mutilated.

According to custom, the bodies of these fallen warriors must be returned to their families or sects.

Even if they are independent cultivators, as long as they left a place to receive their remains before their death, there will be someone to send their remains back.

As for the wounded, unless their cultivation is destroyed or their internal injuries are difficult to heal, they will be treated and recuperated at the base first, and will continue to serve on the battlefield once their injuries no longer affect their combat ability.

Faced with Zhou Chun's question, Cheng Zhiming answered before Yue Feng could speak.

He answered in great detail because he was the one who handled the matter.

This was mainly because he used to be Yue Feng's deputy, and that's what he did specifically.

Although Yue Feng is now at the same level as him, he still habitually hands this matter over to him.

But unexpectedly, it became his opportunity to show off.

Seeing Cheng Zhiming answering Zhou Chun's questions in a boastful manner, Yue Feng felt as if he had swallowed a fly, and his interest vanished instantly.

Zhou Chun naturally saw through Cheng Zhiming's mindset and thoughts.

Although he wasn't so easily convinced by his deputy, whom he had only known for less than a month, he wouldn't remain indifferent to Cheng Zhiming's overtures.

On the surface, he communicated with her in a friendly manner, but his attitude was noticeably different from when he treated Yue Feng.

After understanding the aftermath, Zhou Chun told the two deputy commanders to go back and rest while he went back to his residence to rest as well.

After resting for about two days, Zhou Chun felt he had recovered well, so he took out the storage bag of the Enchanting Valley Witch to check his gains.

According to military regulations, except for certain special magical items that must be handed over, the Heavenly Spirit Legion does not forcibly require soldiers to hand over spoils of war captured on the battlefield.

Of course, if one is willing to voluntarily hand over the magical artifacts and harmful techniques of those demonic cultivators, one can still receive some military merit rewards.

Furthermore, while they will not forcibly confiscate their spoils, the Heavenly Spirit Alliance will show no mercy to cultivators who secretly practice certain insidious and demonic techniques.

Just like before, some cultivators used the practice of refining demonic corpses as a means of fighting enemies, and at that time no one would investigate it.

However, now that the Corpse Demon Sect has completely entered the Yuan Demon Realm, this kind of corpse control technique has been listed as a forbidden technique by the Heavenly Spirit Legion. It is strictly forbidden for cultivators in the Heavenly Spirit Realm to practice and use it, and violators will be treated as demonic cultivators!

When Zhou Chun opened the storage bag of the Enchanting Valley Witch, he immediately discovered that he had gained quite a lot.

These demonic cultivators had been operating in the territory controlled by the Heavenly Spirit Legion for quite some time, and a considerable number of cultivators had died at their hands. Naturally, they had also accumulated a great deal of spoils of war.

Although there wasn't anything particularly eye-catching in the storage bag of the Enchanting Valley Witch, the various magical artifacts, talismans, pills, and other items were still worth seventy to eighty thousand spirit coins.

However, the number of spirit coins was very small, only a little over 20,000, probably because most cultivators do not carry many spirit coins when they come to the battlefield.

For Zhou Chun, who had just made a fortune from Jiang Zhong and his group, this gain was only so-so, not too disappointing.

But Zhou Chun's gains did not stop there.

Because the leopard-tailed witch's pair of silver beast claw artifacts were also left behind; they were items she had to abandon because she didn't have time to take them away at the time.

These silver beast claws are high-grade third-tier magic weapons, and they are made by fusing the rare spiritual metal "Thunder Light Iron" with several other rare spiritual metals. They even contain silver essence, a magical material used in magic weapons, to increase their sharpness and hardness.

Moreover, this item is not the kind of demonic artifact that requires demonic arts to activate; it requires lightning-based spiritual power to activate it.

If Zhou Chunruo were to use the "Dragon Transformation Secret Technique," he should also be able to use this item.

This was a very satisfying unexpected gain for him!

After the spoils of war were inventoried and a few days had passed, the rewards for Zhou Chun and the others' merits in this battle were calculated, and a cultivator from the Rewards Department personally came to hand over the merit book to Zhou Chun.

7,400 words, still 600 short of 8,000. I should have finished writing by midnight, but I don't want to stay up that late. I'll finish it tomorrow!
