Chapter 460 A Nest of Snakes and Turtles [Please Subscribe]

Boom!

A deafening thunderous explosion resounded from the bottom of the deep lake, accompanied by a surge of silver lightning.

Immediately following, a clear and long dragon roar rang out, conveying a sense of anger and grievance.

Deep beneath the water, a four-clawed thunder dragon exuded a powerful aura comparable to a high-grade third-tier demonic beast, its body crackling with lightning as it faced the attacks of two Golden Core stage demonic cultivators alone.

To be honest, the middle-aged man in the blood-red robe and Zheng Kun, the burly man in the yellow robe, were initially bewildered by the four-clawed thunder dragon that suddenly appeared and attacked them. They didn't know who gave it the courage.

However, the middle-aged man in the blood-red robe quickly recalled the battle that had previously defeated his blood-bone puppet, and the thunder python that had used lightning magic to attack the blood-bone puppet.

This leads to the conclusion that the thunder python was actually a thunder dragon in disguise.

Having reached this conclusion, the middle-aged man in the blood-red robe naturally wouldn't be polite to the four-clawed thunder dragon in front of him and immediately went all out to kill it.

However, in deep water, the Thunder Dragon constantly dodged and weaved using its Thunder Escape Technique, making it difficult for even two Golden Core stage demonic cultivators to hit it in just a few moves.

Its appearance caused a commotion that quickly alerted the giant turtle.

Like the two men in blood-red robes, the giant turtle was also completely bewildered by the sudden appearance of a strange third-tier thunder dragon near its lair, not knowing where Bai Bai came from.

However, just as Zhou Chun had expected, the giant turtle could no longer remain calm after discovering that Lei Jiao Bai Bai was actually a genius of the Jiaolong clan with superior bloodline and aptitude.

As an aquatic monster, it is the most submissive to the dragon clan of Longyuanze.

The Jiaolong clan is extremely domineering. In their eyes, the fourth-tier demon beasts of other races are not as important as an ordinary third-tier Jiaolong of their own clan, let alone a genius like the Four-Clawed Thunder Jiaolong.

If the Jiaolong clan were to find out that a four-clawed thunder dragon had died outside its old turtle's lair, the old turtle would probably not be able to survive either!

Therefore, upon seeing Lei Jiao Bai Bai in dire straits under the coercion of two Golden Core stage demonic cultivators, it could no longer stand idly by and directly roared as it joined the battle.

It was as if it were saying, "Young master, don't panic, this old servant is here!"

In short, with the giant turtle joining the battle, Lei Jiao Bai Bai can now safely withdraw.

However, in order to protect Zhou Chun, it did not heed the old turtle's advice to immediately flee this area of ​​water. Instead, it retreated to the vicinity of Zhou Chun's hiding place, forcing the giant turtle to do its best to prevent the two Golden Core stage demonic cultivators from getting close to that area. It was so exhausting that the giant turtle was practically worn out!

Fortunately, the battlefield was now in deep water, which greatly limited the earth-based magic of the yellow-robed giant Zheng Kun, making it difficult for him to maintain even 80% of his strength.

The middle-aged man in the blood-red robe was less affected, but he was still weakened by the limitations imposed by the environment.

In contrast, the giant turtles become much stronger in this environment.

In particular, its vortex magic can create a super-large vortex underwater that can devour all attacks, making it difficult for the yellow-robed man's earthen-yellow seal magic weapon to break free from the vortex's confinement!

Even so, when facing two opponents, the giant turtle would occasionally be struck on its demonic body by the two Golden Core stage demonic cultivators, suffering some damage to varying degrees.

"Damn it, has this beast gone mad? Why is it so protective of that junior and his spirit pet?"

At the bottom of the deep lake, Zheng Kun, a burly man in a yellow robe, was fiercely attacking the giant turtle while also expressing his frustration about what he couldn't understand.

"It must be because of that four-clawed thunder dragon; the giant turtle is protecting it! We need to find a way to expose that junior's true form and let the giant turtle know it's been tricked!"

The middle-aged man in the blood-red robe saw things clearly and revealed the truth in a single sentence.

Although they knew this, it was very difficult for the two of them to do so due to the giant turtle's obstruction.

Several attempts ended in failure.

Finally, the middle-aged man in the blood-red robe gritted his teeth and said, "Fellow Daoist Zheng, I, Yan, will use a divine power to trap this giant turtle. You seize the opportunity to force out the junior hiding over there!"

"Alright, as long as this giant turtle doesn't interfere, I, Zheng, will definitely teach that junior a lesson!"

Zheng Kun, the burly man in the yellow robe, agreed without hesitation.

Without further hesitation, the middle-aged man in the blood-red robe threw the white bone blood banner in his hand, spat out a mouthful of blood essence onto it, and then rapidly formed hand seals, casting a series of spells on this natal magic weapon.

As the middle-aged man in the blood-red robe activated his magic technique, stimulated by his essence blood, the white bone blood banner seemed to undergo some kind of transformation in an instant, its aura rising dramatically out of thin air.

"A top-grade magic weapon!"

Zheng Kun, the burly man in the yellow robe, changed his expression slightly, a hint of apprehension flashing in his eyes.

Magical treasures are also divided into different grades, and are further divided into four levels: low grade, medium grade, high grade, and top grade.

Generally speaking, when a Golden Core cultivator's natal magic weapon is first successfully crafted, no matter how precious the materials used or how skillful the crafting technique, it can only be considered a low-grade magic weapon.

Whether this natal magic weapon can be upgraded to a mid-grade magic weapon, and how long it will take to upgrade to a mid-grade magic weapon, depends on the materials used in its crafting and the cultivation level of the Golden Core cultivator.

Some natal magic treasures made with inferior materials can only be upgraded to mid-grade magic treasures when the cultivator reaches the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm.

However, some natal magic treasures made with good materials can be upgraded to mid-grade magic treasures by Golden Core cultivators who patiently cultivate them with their own inner energy and mana for several decades or even hundreds of years, without being limited by the cultivation level of the Golden Core cultivator.

The middle-aged man in the blood-red robe was at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm. He had already cultivated his White Bone Blood Banner magic weapon to a mid-grade magic weapon, and because the materials he used were not bad, it was now only half a step away from becoming a high-grade magic weapon.

At this moment, driven by the power of his life essence, the grade of this magic weapon was forcibly upgraded to the superior grade, possessing the true power of a superior grade magic weapon.

Of course, this kind of promotion is only temporary, and it will cause some damage to the essence of the magic weapon, delaying the time when the magic weapon will truly be promoted to a high-grade magic weapon.

This shows just how strong the middle-aged man in the blood-stained robe was in his desire to kill Zhou Chun!

Each time a magic weapon is upgraded to a higher grade, its power increases dramatically. The difference between a high-grade magic weapon and a mid-grade magic weapon is enormous, much like the difference between a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator and a late-stage Golden Core cultivator!

At this moment, after the White Bone Blood Banner was temporarily upgraded to a high-grade magic treasure, the blood-red banner surface immediately released an extremely viscous and rich blood light. When this blood light came into contact with the lake water, it was just like real blood falling into the water, turning the water into blood water, and it already had the power to contaminate real objects!

The middle-aged man in the blood-red robe raised his hand and pointed at the giant turtle, and the white bone and blood banner, carrying a viscous bloody light, rushed straight towards the giant turtle.

The giant turtle seemed to sense something was wrong and immediately activated its innate divine power, manipulating the water flow to form a huge blue vortex in an attempt to trap the White Bone Blood Banner within it.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the blue vortex swallowed the white bone blood banner, it was quickly stained blood red by the blood light and broke free from the giant turtle's control!

When the giant turtle realized something was wrong, the crimson vortex suddenly reversed and rolled back towards itself.

This time, it was caught in its own trap, and was directly struck hard by its own supernatural power!

A series of roars could be heard from a sea of ​​blood; it was the trapped giant turtles howling in despair.

Seeing that the middle-aged man in the blood-red robe had successfully trapped the giant turtle, Zheng Kun, the burly man in the yellow robe, quickly moved and rushed towards where Zhou Chun was hiding.

Just a dozen breaths later, he arrived near Zhou Chun's hiding place. Ignoring Lei Jiao Bai Bai who was there, he directly unleashed the Great Seal magic weapon and smashed it towards the underwater cave where Zhou Chun was hiding.

Rumble!

As the earth shook and roared, a huge crater was smashed into the ground near the underwater cave where Zhou Chun was hiding.

He himself was also forced to reveal his true form.

At this moment, Zhou Chun had already used the "Dragon Transformation Secret Technique" again, transforming into a dragon-man covered in silver dragon scales.

"Eh, could your supernatural power, young man, be the legendary 'Dragon Transformation Secret Technique'? Are you perhaps a spy planted by the Dragon Transformation Sect within the Heavenly Spirit Alliance?"

Zheng Kun, the burly man in the yellow robe, looked at Zhou Chun, who was covered in silver dragon scales and had dragon horns on his head, and let out a soft exclamation of surprise, astonished by his transformation.

The Yuanmo Realm has been invading the Tianling Realm for almost twenty years. In addition, there is the Corpse Demon Sect, a traitor who has turned against them. They are naturally aware of the war between Jingguo and Hualong Sect.

They even sent people to the headquarters of the Hualong Sect at the beginning to win them over, hoping that the Hualong Sect would send troops to cooperate with them in the direction of Jingguo, or grant them passage.

But the Dragon Transformation Sect isn't stupid; why would they do something like that?

Originally, the main enemies of the Hualong Sect were the various factions in Jingguo. If they were to help the Yuanmo Realm, they would be making enemies of the entire Tianling Realm!

If the invasion of the Yuanmo territory fails, they can simply walk away.

Their Dragon Transformation Sect, however, must bear the wrath of the entire Heavenly Spirit Realm.

Even if the invasion of the Yuanmo territory is successful, the Hualong Sect is not on the same side as these demonic cultivators at all. The two sides are not equal in strength, and there is no way they can gain any benefits from the other side.

Unless the leader of the Hualong Sect is hopelessly stupid, he would never agree to this.

Even if he agrees, the dragon clan might not.

Although they failed to win over the Dragon Transformation Sect at the time, the demon cultivators of the Yuanmo Legion were not unfamiliar with the Dragon Transformation Sect, and were even more familiar with its famous "Dragon Transformation Secret Manual".

Zheng Kun, the burly man in the yellow robe, was a Golden Core cultivator from the Beast Demon Palace. How could he not know these things?

So when he saw Zhou Chun use the third level of the "Dragon Transformation Secret Technique" to transform into a dragon, he was confused. His first reaction was to regard Zhou Chun as a spy planted in Jingguo by the Dragon Transformation Sect.

Upon hearing his words, Zhou Chun's heart stirred, and she began to consider stalling for time.

He immediately said in a deep voice, "Since you know this, why don't you leave quickly? Otherwise, this place is less than two thousand miles from our sect's headquarters, and our elders will arrive soon. Then you won't be able to leave even if you want to!"

"Hmph, don't try to intimidate me with your words. I'm not easily frightened!"

Zheng Kun, the burly man in the yellow robe, changed his expression slightly and couldn't help but let out a cold snort. He raised his palm and a large, misty yellow magical hand reached out to grab Zhou Chun.

He then coldly chuckled and said, "Regardless of whether you are a spy for the Dragon Transformation Sect or not, I, Zheng, have fulfilled my request by capturing you and handing you over to Fellow Daoist Yan. Whether to kill or release you is up to him!"

It's not hard to tell from his words that he actually believed most of Zhou Chun's story.

After all, Zhou Chun not only cultivated the "Dragon Transformation Secret Technique," but he was also fleeing towards the headquarters of the Dragon Transformation Sect. Given his current actions, it would be hard to believe that he wasn't a member of the Dragon Transformation Sect.

Zhou Chun naturally noticed this as well, and was immediately delighted, feeling even more motivated.

With a thought, the "Golden Light Demon-Slaying Mirror" emitted a beam of golden light that struck the magical hand.

Then, he activated the "Silver Lightning Claw" magic weapon he was wearing, and a thick silver lightning bolt struck the magic hand.

Meanwhile, Lei Jiao Bai Bai unleashed his ultimate move, "Heavenly Thunder Slash".

With the master and servant working together, they actually managed to shatter that magical hand!

Seeing this, Zheng Kun, the burly man in the yellow robe, also showed a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Although that magical hand wasn't some kind of supernatural power, but merely something he condensed with his own magical power, it was still equivalent to an attack from an ordinary early-stage Golden Core cultivator.

It was astonishing that Zhou Chun and his servant were able to deflect the attack so easily.

But then a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly made a hand seal. Yellow light surged from his hands, quickly forming an earthy yellow halo, which he then raised and struck at Zhou Chun.

This time, it wasn't a casual strike; he unleashed some kind of grappling technique.

But at this moment, Zhou Chun had already released the giant tiger puppet.

The giant tiger puppet opened its mouth and spat out an incomparably sharp golden blade of light, which struck the earthen-yellow halo.

With this attack, the yellowish-brown aura was instantly shattered in mid-air.

"The younger generation has quite a few tricks up their sleeves!"

Zheng Kun, the burly man in the yellow robe, muttered something under his breath, then simply raised his hand and hurled the large seal magic weapon at Zhou Chun and the puppet tiger.

Although his cultivation level was still at the early stage of the Golden Core realm, after more than two hundred years of refinement, he had still managed to refine this great seal magic weapon into a mid-grade magic weapon with extraordinary power.

Given the current state of the puppet tiger, it would likely be unable to withstand more than a few of his attacks before its spiritual energy was exhausted.

But at that moment, the giant turtle used the power of its demon core to forcefully break through the sea of ​​blood and rushed out.

Moreover, upon discovering that he had aimed his magic weapon at the four-clawed thunder dragon, the giant turtle also risked its life to instantly escape into the water and reach the front of the earth-yellow seal magic weapon, opening its mouth to spit out its demon core and blasting it towards the seal!

For demonic beasts, the demon core is somewhat similar to the natal magic weapon of cultivators; it is an extremely powerful weapon.

The giant turtle's cultivation was only one step away from advancing to the fourth-grade upper level, and the power of its demon core was no less than that of a top-grade magic weapon.

Caught off guard, the burly man in the yellow robe, Zheng Kun, was struck by its demon core. His natal magic weapon immediately lost its luster and flew back to his side with a mournful cry. It was clear that it had damaged his vital energy and would take him several years of hard work to recover.

This wouldn't have been a big deal in the past, since a few years would have passed in the blink of an eye for a Golden Core cultivator.

However, Zheng Kun, the burly man in the yellow robe, is currently in the army and often has to fight with cultivators of the same level. It would not be a good thing for his natal magic weapon to be damaged at this time.

Heartbroken, he couldn't help but burst into a tirade of curses: "That damned beast! Is that kid your son? Does he have to fight so desperately?"

Little did he know that if it were only for his son, the giant turtle might not have fought so desperately.

After all, it has lived for so many years and has many offspring, so the death of one or two is nothing.

However, the four-clawed Thunder Dragon Bai Bai absolutely cannot die here, otherwise the giant turtle itself may lose its life, or even its entire clan may be wiped out!

The giant turtle surely knew which was more important.

While continuing to fend off the attacks of the two Golden Core stage demonic cultivators, the giant turtle looked at Zhou Chun, who was being protected by the Thunder Dragon, and couldn't help but feel puzzled.

It resides not far from the headquarters of the Dragon Transformation Sect, so it is naturally familiar to the cultivators of the Dragon Transformation Sect.

In fact, some of the elders of the Hualong Sect used to have some relationship with it and would often send it food and drink.

What puzzled it was that it had never heard of the existence of a Thunder Dragon in the Dragon Transformation Sect, so how come Zhou Chun was now using the Thunder Dragon's spiritual blood to cultivate the "Dragon Transformation Secret Technique"?

Moreover, the four-clawed thunder dragon, seemingly in a superior position, appeared quite concerned about the safety of Zhou Chun, its "servant."

Despite the doubts, with Zhou Chun's "testimony," the giant turtle was even less likely to doubt Lei Jiao Bai Bai's true identity.

After all, he wasn't an important member of the Flood Dragon Clan, so why would he come to the Dragon Transformation Sect to collect resources?

And at this moment, it also thought it had "figured out" the reason why Lei Jiao did not run away. It must be that Lei Jiao was angry about the behavior of the two Golden Core demon cultivators and wanted it to hold them off first, waiting for the Golden Core elders of the Dragon Transformation Sect to come and kill these two audacious fools!

Having realized this, the giant turtle's fighting spirit soared even higher, determined to show off its abilities in front of the Thunder Dragon Bai Bai.

Soon, even Zhou Chun noticed that the giant turtle's fighting spirit had clearly changed, and it was fighting much more vigorously than before.

This infuriated the two demonic cultivators, who cursed incessantly.

Zhou Chun vaguely guessed what the giant turtle was thinking and was immediately happy to watch the show.

He not only watched the show, but also secretly had the giant tiger puppet help the giant turtle, causing trouble for the two demonic cultivators.

After fighting for some time, suddenly the two humans and the demon on the battlefield changed their expressions and looked up at a certain place.

Then a black figure flashed, and a three-headed giant python with a jet-black body suddenly came down from above the water to below!

Judging from its aura, this was clearly a low-grade fourth-order demonic beast!

"A three-headed black serpent! I never expected to find such a strange and monstrous beast here!"

Zheng Kun, the burly man in the yellow robe, looked at the three-headed giant python that had suddenly entered the battlefield and recognized its origin at a glance. He couldn't help but exclaim in surprise and delight.

No sooner had he finished speaking than the three-headed python turned all six of its eyes toward him, its gaze filled with chilling intent.

Immediately, the snake head in the middle opened its mouth and spat out a beam of dark light that emitted a strong, foul odor, which shot towards Zheng Kun, the man in the yellow robe.

Upon seeing this, the burly man in the yellow robe, Zheng Kun, exclaimed in alarm, his expression changing drastically, "This is bad! This demon is also coming for us!"

He hurriedly activated his protective divine power, creating a thick and dense yellow spiritual light that shielded him within.

But the dark light fell on the yellow spiritual light, instantly penetrating most of it, and then dissipated into poisonous water that corroded the remaining yellow spiritual light.

The giant turtle seemed to be quite familiar with the three-headed python. Upon seeing this situation, it immediately roared a greeting at it and then focused on dealing with the middle-aged man in the blood-red robe.

The speed of this change was also beyond Zhou Chun's expectations.

He couldn't understand why the three-headed black snake had suddenly come here to join the battle.

Because fourth-tier monsters each have their own territory, and the distance between them is not too short.

So even if the giant turtle sent its subordinates to invite the three-headed black snake, it shouldn't have been able to arrive so quickly.

This was also the question in the minds of the middle-aged man in the blood-red robe and Zheng Kun, the burly man in the yellow robe.

It is obvious that with the three-headed black serpents joining the battlefield and choosing to deal with them, their hopes of killing Zhou Chun have become even slimmer.

This infuriated the middle-aged man in the blood-red robe, who couldn't help but complain to the burly man in the yellow robe, Zheng Kun, "These three-headed black serpents must be the backers of that third-tier demon beast you killed earlier, Fellow Daoist Zheng. They've come looking for revenge, following the auras we left behind!"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Kun, the burly man in the yellow robe, immediately became displeased and replied with a dark face, "Fellow Daoist Yan, what do you mean by that? Are you perhaps blaming me?"

"It's not that I, Yan, blame Fellow Daoist Zheng. Just now, I trapped that giant turtle, and you, Fellow Daoist Zheng, clearly had a chance to kill that junior, so why did you hesitate and miss the opportunity!"

The middle-aged man in the blood-red robe said he didn't blame anyone, but his questioning tone clearly placed the blame on Zheng Kun, the burly man in the yellow robe.

Faced with his questioning, the burly man in yellow robes, Zheng Kun, was also extremely aggrieved and simply told the truth: "It's not that I'm dragging my feet, but that kid is clearly a spy planted by the Dragon Transformation Sect within the Heavenly Spirit Alliance. I was only thinking of the bigger picture when I decided to capture him alive. Who knew that you, Fellow Daoist Yan, would let that giant turtle escape so quickly, resulting in damage to my natal magic weapon!"

However, he shifted the blame back to the middle-aged man in the blood-red robe, blaming him for not trapping the giant turtle for longer and for damaging his natal magic weapon.

This infuriated the middle-aged man in the blood-red robe, who almost cursed him out.

Fortunately, he remembered that he was the one who asked him to come and help, so he didn't actually yell at him.

However, with each of them harboring resentment and harboring grudges, it was clear that it would be difficult for them to be of one mind again.

In fact, by now, both of them knew that even if they worked together, they could only protect themselves and had no chance of killing Zhou Chun, who was being heavily protected by the giant turtle.

But if they can't kill Zhou Chun, should the middle-aged man in the blood-red robe still keep the promises he made to Zheng Kun, the man in the yellow robe?

He was clearly unwilling to accept the payment, feeling that he had been taken advantage of.

That's why he blamed the yellow-robed giant Zheng Kun for missing the opportunity, causing the mission to fail at the last minute!

Zheng Kun, the burly man in the yellow robe, also saw this, so he would never admit to the mistake.

After all, not to mention that he had accompanied him on such a long journey, he would have to seek compensation from the middle-aged man in the blood-red robe for the damage to his natal magic weapon.

In short, with both of them harboring their own ulterior motives, their will to fight was waning.

After exchanging a few words, the two suddenly flew towards the water's surface together, seemingly trying to escape.

Seeing this, the three-headed black snake chased after them without hesitation, refusing to let the two leave easily.

But the giant turtle hesitated and looked at the thunder dragon Bai Bai.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun hurriedly instructed Lei Jiao Bai Bai to signal the giant turtle to pursue the two people and not let the three-headed black snake get separated.

Then he and Lei Jiao Bai Bai followed behind the giant turtle and flew towards the water.
