Beast Taming Immortal Clan

Chapter 456 Slaying Another Fiend [Two chapters today, please subscribe]

The golden chains pierced through the air, and Yan Wuji had no way to avoid them. He could only watch helplessly as they easily pierced through his protective demonic light and landed on him.

To his surprise and dismay, the chains did not cause him any harm when they fell on him.

The moment the idea popped into his head, his expression changed drastically.

They had already sensed the power of the golden chains!

At this moment, both of them were at the late stage of the Purple Mansion realm. Even though Zhou Chun's magic power was slightly inferior to his because he had just broken through not long ago, he was not so easily able to break free.

With his magic power locked, seven or eight white, icy arrows shot towards him again.

This time, he truly had no way to avoid it, nor could he activate any magical artifacts to defend himself. He could only watch helplessly as those icy arrows rained down on him.

But just when Zhou Chun thought the outcome was decided, his expression suddenly changed!

Because Yan Wuji, who was hit by the arrow of icy energy, did not turn into an ice sculpture, but his figure disappeared instantly.

Only a skeleton puppet, frozen in ice, remained in place.

"This is... the legendary scapegoat doll!"

Zhou Chun's expression changed drastically as he looked at the skeletal doll, instantly recognizing its origin.

In the cultivation world, there are many secret techniques for taking on calamities, which can be used to withstand fatal attacks at critical moments by using treasures that have been refined in advance or one's own organs.

However, these methods of substitution either require a high level of cultivation or very strict requirements for materials, and are rarely seen in battles between low- and mid-level cultivators.

Furthermore, this secret technique is extremely precious and rare; even disciples of major sects do not have the opportunity to successfully cultivate it.

Those cultivators who have mastered this secret technique usually keep it a secret to avoid others knowing that they have this trump card and might plot against them.

Yan Wuji came from a major demonic sect like the Blood Bone Sect and was listed among the "Seven Fiends of the Primordial Demons," earning him the title of "Young Master Blood Fiend." It's not surprising that he knew the secret technique of substituting for tribulation.

However, in this way, Zhou Chun's carefully planned killing move failed!

At this moment, he scanned the area with his divine sense and quickly discovered Yan Wuji's presence in mid-air a hundred feet away.

After using the "Substitute Doll," this person not only avoided being frozen by the "Heavenly Frost Chill," but also broke free from the confinement of the "Golden Lock of Unity," thus regaining their freedom.

When Zhou Chun's divine sense re-locked onto him, he launched a fierce counterattack against Zhou Chun.

He raised his hand and patted the storage bag at his waist, and several high-grade third-tier magic talismans, shimmering with spiritual light, appeared in his hand.

He first activated two of the magic talismans. One transformed into a blood-red armor that he wore, while the other transformed into a blood-flame demon eagle that pounced on Zhou Chun.

At the same time, he made a slight hand seal, and the white bone spear turned and instantly pierced the sky, shooting towards Zhou Chun.

Zhou Chun had not only witnessed the power of the "pseudo-magic weapon" in the battle to ambush the demonic cultivators, but he had also just experienced it firsthand.

How could he dare to use his few magical artifacts to carry it!

For now, all I can do is continue to hide under the tortoise shell and rely on my spirit pet to help me ward off disaster.

He is a beast-taming cultivator; the power of his spirit pets is his own power. He wouldn't be foolish enough to insist on showing off his strength by fighting against powerful enemies to prove himself.

Bang!

With a loud bang, the indestructible shell of the Golden Armor Mountain Tortoise was once again pierced by the white bone spear, leaving a large hole.

This is the first time it has encountered such a series of breaches in its defenses since it advanced to the third tier.

I haven't experienced physical injury in who knows how many years.

Moreover, as a "pseudo-magical weapon," the White Bone Spear is not only sharp and hard, but also possesses the evil blood-sucking and blood-transforming supernatural powers common to all magical artifacts and treasures of the Blood Bone Sect.

As soon as its spearhead pierced into the stone's flesh, it began to desperately absorb the stone's essence and vital energy. In just a breath or two, a large area of ​​flesh near the wound shrank and decayed, its essence and energy completely drained.

The pain inflicted on the injured during this process is ten times greater than that of a simple physical injury!

Even the stone, with its extremely high endurance, opened its mouth wide and roared in unbearable pain.

It opened its mouth and spat out a burst of golden light, which instantly struck the white bone spear that was stuck in its body and sucking blood.

Although this white bone spear appears to be made from the bones of some kind of demon beast, it actually incorporates a lot of spirit metal materials such as iron essence. Therefore, it is not completely immune to the control of this supernatural power after being swept by the "Golden Magnetic Glow".

Yan Wuji instantly felt the connection between himself and the bone spear being severed, making it significantly more difficult to control.

He was already under a heavy burden from using the "pseudo-magic weapon" with his late-stage Purple Mansion cultivation. Now, with the interference of the "Golden Magnetic Glow," he had to devote even more of his mind to maintaining the connection and controlling the white bone spear to break free from the restraint and interference.

This gave Zhou Chun and Lei Mang a free opportunity!

With a single strike of Zhou Chunyu's "Golden Flame Demon-Slaying Blade," the Blood Flame Demon Eagle that pounced on him was cleaved in mid-air.

Amid the violent explosion, the golden flames on the longsword successfully withstood the corrosive and defiled power of the blood flames.

Immediately, the "Golden Light Demon-Slaying Mirror" swayed slightly and shone a dazzling golden light towards Yan Wuji.

At this moment, Yan Wuji was still struggling to control the white bone spear to break free from the interference of the "golden magnetic light". He could only spare some of his mind to activate a white bone treasure artifact, which emitted a circle of white misty spiritual light to protect himself.

The golden light struck the white, misty light barrier, but only held for a moment before shattering and piercing it, finally exhausting its power when it struck Yan Wuji's blood-red armor.

What followed was a triple lightning strike unleashed by Lei Mang Bai Bai.

Boom boom boom!

Three thunderous booms resounded in succession, and Yan Wuji's blood-red armor was instantly shattered by the three bolts of lightning. He himself couldn't help but let out a muffled groan under the aftershocks of the lightning.

Fortunately, at this moment, he finally managed to forcefully break free from the "Golden Magnetic Glow" by manipulating the bone spear.

The White Bone Spear is, after all, a "pseudo-magic weapon," not a pure spirit metal magic weapon. It's unrealistic for Stone's current cultivation level to expect him to easily control it like he would with those third-tier magic weapons with his "Golden Magnetic Glow."

But at that moment, Yan Wuji's expression suddenly changed. He could no longer control the white bone spear to launch an attack. He hurriedly roared and raised his palm as a blade to slash behind him.

A sharp, blood-red blade of energy burst forth from his hand, striking a silver snake's tail that lashed out at him!

Although he reacted quickly, he was still thrown away by the inertial force of the silver snake tail because of the close distance, and vomited a large amount of blood on the spot.

Meanwhile, the python Bai Bai's tail twitched incessantly, emitting a painful hiss.

Its defenses were certainly not bad, but the difference in cultivation levels between the two sides was too great, so it wouldn't be difficult for Yan Wuji's secret technique to break through its defenses.

At the same time, that blood-red blade energy, as a secret technique of the Blood Bone Sect, also carries the characteristic of blood transformation. Once it hits a flesh and blood body, it can cause unbearable pain and make people suffer the pain of flesh and blood dissolving!

Seeing that both spirit pets were injured one after another, Zhou Chun felt bad.

However, in order not to have worked in vain and to keep one more trump card for himself, Zhou Chun was determined not to let Lei Mang unleash the [Heavenly Divine Thunder] for nothing.

He moved swiftly, leaping out from the protection of the stone and unleashing the "Dragon Transformation Secret Technique," donning the pair of silver beast claw magic weapons he had obtained from the leopard-tailed witch of the Beast Demon Palace.

This sight caused Yan Wuji's expression to change, and he hurriedly summoned back the white bone spear to attack Zhou Chun.

This time, Zhou Chun did not dodge. Instead, a fiery red magic talisman suddenly flew out from his body, instantly transforming into a fiery red Vermilion Bird that pounced on the white bone spear.

Fourth-tier magic rune!

That fiery red Vermilion Bird was actually a fourth-order magic talisman.

This fourth-tier magic talisman, "Vermilion Bird Fire Talisman," was given to Zhou Chun by Zhou Mingde for self-defense when Zhou Chun went to the battlefield.

This item is a treasure passed down from the Zhou family ancestors. It was one of the four treasures obtained from Yu Jinghua, a traitor, when they made a deal with him.

Zhou Chun hadn't originally intended to use this precious fourth-tier magic talisman, nor did he want to waste this ancestral treasure.

But given the current situation, if he still wants to kill Yan Wuji and avenge Zhou Jiahe, he has no choice but to use this item.

The power of a fourth-tier magic talisman is naturally no less than that of a "pseudo-magic weapon"!

The white bone spear, struck by the Vermilion Bird firebird, immediately emitted a mournful cry amidst the flames, losing its previous ferocity.

Zhou Chun seized the opportunity and quickly pounced on Yan Wuji.

With a wave of his claws, streaks of silver lightning shot towards Yan Wuji.

Yan Wuji on the other side didn't expect him to be able to pull out such a powerful weapon as a fourth-tier attack talisman. By now, it was too late to dodge.

He could only grit his teeth, raise his palm and slap his chest, instantly spitting out a stream of blood essence that transformed into a blood-red light barrier in front of him.

Although this helped him block Zhou Chun's attack, it was only a temporary measure.

Zhou Chun quickly pounced on him and swung his lightning-cracking beast claws at him.

Yan Wuji was not a cultivator from the Beast Demon Palace. Although his physical body was stronger than that of ordinary cultivators of the same level, it was still far inferior to Zhou Chun's at this moment. How could he dare to engage in close combat with Zhou Chun?

With a quick hand gesture, he transformed into a streak of blood and vanished from his spot, appearing dozens of feet away in a flash.

But as soon as he showed himself, a bolt of silver lightning struck him from the sky, making the hairs on his body stand on end.

Just as he finally mustered his magic to dispel the paralyzing effect of the lightning, Zhou Chun's figure caught up to him again, several dozen feet away, and two silver claw-like beams struck him from a distance.

Left with no other choice, he hurriedly cast a spell talisman, which transformed into a blood-red light shield to protect himself.

However, the protective shield formed by this third-tier magic rune was quickly torn apart by Zhou Chun's beast claw strike!

For cultivators of Zhou Chun and Yan Wuji's strength, even a third-tier high-grade magic talisman can only play a minor supporting role; they often achieve that level of power with a single strike.

Therefore, neither of them used this method very often in previous battles.

Yan Wuji has simply overused all sorts of supernatural powers and spells, and his magical artifacts have suffered severe damage. He has no choice but to use talismans to buy himself some breathing time.

However, Zhou Chun's close-quarters combat style is precisely the best counter to his magic talisman tactics.

The speed at which he pulled out the magic talisman was almost the same as the speed at which Zhou Chun made his move.

The moment the magic talisman was activated, Zhou Chun's attack had already landed.

Moreover, Zhou Chun was clearly willing to trade injury for life with him. Even when facing his attacking spells at close range, he did not dodge but directly withstood the attack head-on, completely disregarding the injury.

In just over ten breaths, Yan Wuji was forced to use five third-grade high-quality magic talismans.

At this moment, Yan Wuji was filled with remorse.

He wasn't regretting coming to hunt down Zhou Chun, but rather regretting that he had already used up the two fourth-tier magic talismans he had on him on the battlefield.

Otherwise, any card I use now would be enough to kill Zhou Chun!

Unfortunately, even with his extraordinary status, fourth-order magic talismans, which are difficult for even Golden Core cultivators to obtain, cannot be replenished as needed, and he currently has not a single one on him.

Finally, after enduring Zhou Chun's fierce attack, he regained his breath and used his dodging skills, transforming into a bloody shadow once again and creating a distance of dozens of feet between himself and Zhou Chun.

Then, a thought struck him, and he wanted to use the bone spear that had withstood the attack of the Vermilion Bird Firebird to launch a counterattack against Zhou Chun.

But at that moment, he suddenly noticed something and involuntarily looked in a certain direction.

Then he saw a dazzling silver lightning blade slashing through the air towards him.

However, Lei Mang took advantage of the opportunity Zhou Chun had seized during his previous fierce attack and unleashed his ultimate move, "Heavenly Thunder Slash".

At the beginning, this "Heavenly Thunder Slash" would only have made Yan Wuji take it slightly seriously.

But now it has become a deadly move that could kill him!

At that moment, having just used his dodging technique, he was unable to do it a second time.

He can no longer use that life-saving technique that allows him to transform into thousands and escape.

At this moment, he could only do his best to activate the defensive spells attached to his cultivation technique, condensing a thick layer of blood-red light to protect himself.

Immediately afterwards, silver lightning and blood light intertwined, and a figure was shot out of the area of ​​dazzling dual light like a fish being swept away by a huge wave.

At the same time, as Zhou Chun's claws clashed, a bolt of silver lightning shot out, striking the figure that was sent flying backward!

Even so, he still felt it wasn't enough, and immediately urged the "Golden Flame Demon-Slaying Blade" to slash at the falling figure.

Looking at Yan Wuji, he was already covered in wounds after enduring the attack of "Heavenly Thunder Slash". He was then struck by lightning released by the beast claw in Zhou Chun's hand, and his consciousness became blurred under the strong electric current paralysis.

When he regained a sliver of consciousness, he saw a golden blade of light rapidly approaching him.

"don't want……"

At the critical moment of life and death, even the "Bloodthirsty Prince" Yan Wuji, who never yielded, couldn't help but beg for mercy.

Unfortunately, his first attempt to beg for mercy ended in failure.

With a flash of light, a fine head was tossed out!
