Beast Taming Immortal Clan

Being robbed and killed after participating in an exchange event is not uncommon in the cultivation world.

There are always some cultivators who are very confident in their own strength, yet covet the treasures on others, and want to kill and rob them.

They may not be professional bandits, but they don't mind occasionally taking on the role.

The two Golden Core cultivators who are now eyeing Zhou Chun and his wife are such people.

Speaking of which, Zhou Chun did have some impression of these two people.

The cultivator in the early stage of the Golden Core realm was the same burly man in black who had previously produced a damaged, top-grade magic weapon.

Another elderly man with narrow eyes and dressed in hemp robes, who was at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, had brought out two thousand-year-old precious herbs at the exchange fair, attempting to exchange them for the spiritual herbs he needed.

Unfortunately, Zhou Chun knew nothing about the specific origins of the two individuals.

But they certainly weren't cultivators from the Yan Kingdom!

"What are your intentions in secretly following my wife and me, fellow Daoists?"

Zhou Chun coldly stared at the two Golden Core cultivators on the silver-blue flying boat and shouted, while secretly giving instructions to his Daoist partner Su Yuzhen via telepathy.

"Hehehe, what do you say, Fellow Daoist Yan?"

The old man in hemp robes chuckled, his narrow eyes slightly narrowed, and said leisurely, "Don't blame me for not giving you two a chance to live. Hand over the [Mountain Shield] magic weapon and the storage bags you're carrying, and I'll let you go. Otherwise, today I'll make you two a pair of doomed lovers!"

"What arrogance!"

Zhou Chun's gaze sharpened slightly, then he said with a cold smile, "It's not impossible for me to hand over my storage bag, but that depends on your capabilities!"

After saying that, he raised his hand and patted the spirit beast pouch at his waist. The Fiery Phoenix and the Wood Spirit Mu Sang flew out and appeared beside him like left and right protectors.

The smile on the old man's face froze the moment the two fourth-tier demonic beasts appeared.

Even Su Yuzhen, upon seeing the fourth-tier Fiery Phoenix for the first time, widened her eyes in shock and opened her mouth slightly.

After a brief, rapid change in expression, the old man in hemp clothing suddenly cried out repeatedly, "Misunderstanding! It's all a misunderstanding!"

Then, with a fawning smile, he looked at Zhou Chun and said, "Fellow Daoist Yan, please calm down. I'll leave right away, I'll leave right away!!"

"But what if I'm really angry right now?"

Zhou Chun gave a cold laugh and gave an order. The Flaming Phoenix and the Wood Spirit Wood Mulberry acted simultaneously, starting to surround the two old men in hemp clothing.

Upon seeing this, the old man in hemp robes immediately changed his expression and shouted angrily, "Fellow Daoist Yan, don't push your luck! I've already said it was a misunderstanding and apologized to you, what more do you want?"

Seeing him still fuming and indignant, Zhou Chun was amused and couldn't help but sneer, saying, "So this is your way of dealing with people? Then after I kill you, I'll apologize to your corpse!"

"You arrogant brat!"

The old man in hemp clothing turned angry and immediately roared, waving his hand to summon a black longsword magic weapon to attack Zhou Chun.

As he made his move, the burly man in black, who hadn't uttered a word, suddenly activated a large, earth-yellow seal-like magic weapon and hurled it at Zhou Chun.

Zhou Chun had been on guard against the two of them for a while. At this moment, he raised his hand and drew out the Taibai Dragon-Slaying Sword to meet the black longsword magic weapon. The sword and the blade clashed fiercely in the air.

At the same time, he opened his mouth and spat out a beam of golden light, which transformed into a golden cauldron that floated above his head. The cauldron's mouth rippled with golden light, and in the blink of an eye, several golden sword rainbows flew out, repelling the giant earthen-yellow seal that was crushing down from the sky.

Su Yuzhen did not participate in the attack, but instead used her natal magic weapon [Water-Infused Ruyi] to conjure a white light to bless Zhou Chun. Then, she fully activated another magic weapon [Water Dragon Pearl] to release a blue shield that protected her.

This was Zhou Chun's secret instruction: she didn't need to participate in the attack, but only needed to assist him in the battle and focus on defending herself.

At the same time, just as several Golden Core cultivators made their moves, the Fiery Phoenix and the Wood Spirit Mu Sang also made their own attacks.

Then, the Fiery Phoenix let out a clear cry, and a burst of seven-colored flames suddenly emerged from its body, burning fiercely and emitting a crystal-clear light.

In an instant, the old man in hemp clothing and the burly man in black, who had been keeping a close eye on it, let out a painful groan, their consciousness already burned.

"Damn it, it's the [Glazed Pure Fire]! This fire phoenix is ​​not to be underestimated!"

The old man in hemp robes roared and immediately waved his sleeves. A ball of black true water radiating icy coldness transformed into a black water dragon and pounced on the Fiery Phoenix.

There's no way around it; the name "[Glazed Pure Fire]" is simply too great. The characteristics of this supernatural power, along with the features of the fire phoenix, make it easy for people to recognize and take it seriously.

However, even though the old man in hemp clothing and the burly man in black were prepared, they still could not escape the interference and damage caused by the [Glazed Pure Fire].

With a flap of its wings, the Fiery Phoenix transformed into a seven-colored fire phoenix that radiated a dazzling, iridescent light and pounced on the Black Water Dragon.

Then it opened its mouth again and spat out a stream of black and red flames, which turned into a torrent of flames that swept towards the black-clad man.

Seeing the Fiery Phoenix display its power, Wood Spirit Wood Sang did not want to be overshadowed by this new fifth brother.

It let out a long deer cry, and blue lightning surged on its antlers, instantly unleashing a thick bolt of blue lightning that slammed into the black-clad man.

Then, streams of emerald light surged from its mouth, growing larger in the wind and transforming in the blink of an eye into nine [Heavenly Wood Dao Soldiers], each several meters tall and clad in armor and wielding a blade!

Of these nine [Heavenly Wood Dao Soldiers], three are high-grade third-tier Dao Soldiers, and the rest are mid-grade third-tier Dao Soldiers.

The nine Dao Soldiers were connected by their auras and their magical power came from the same source. Under the unified control of the [Heavenly Wood Dao Soldier] divine power, they could be regarded as a fourth-tier combatant!

They scattered and surrounded the burly man in black, their spears flashing as sharp streaks of emerald light shot towards him.

The poor man in black was only a Golden Core cultivator in the early stage; he never expected that Zhou Chun would target him.

At this moment, his natal magic weapon was not with him, so he could only use all his strength to unleash his natal golden core divine power, condensing a bright yellow-brown light shield to protect himself, while shouting loudly for help to the old man in hemp robes, "Fellow Daoist Lin, save me!"

Boom!

With a loud bang, the azure lightning struck the light shield that the black-clad giant had conjured, shattering it into a shower of sparks. The remaining power of the [Yi Wood Divine Lightning] clung to the light shield, continuously eroding its strength.

This kind of wood-attribute attack was the most troublesome and uncomfortable for the black-clad giant, a cultivator of earth-attribute techniques.

The attacks from the subsequent [Heavenly Wood Soldiers] also dealt him excessive damage.

But what's even more deadly is that torrent of black and red flames!

As soon as the fire landed on the earthen-yellow light shield, it instantly transformed into a sea of ​​fire, engulfing the burly man in black. Under the extreme heat, the thickness of the earthen-yellow light shield visibly thinned.

Even through the protective barrier, the burly man in black quickly realized he had been poisoned!

Fortunately, due to the protective shield, he was only slightly contaminated with the toxins, which he was able to suppress and refine thanks to his profound magical power.

But this made him even more afraid to let the black and red flames touch him, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

But he couldn't rely on the old man in hemp clothing at all.

Zhou Chun is now at the peak of the early Golden Core stage, but he is blocked by the realm barrier and cannot break through. His natal magic treasure, the Myriad Transformations Golden Cauldron, has long been cultivated and nurtured to the level of a mid-grade magic treasure.

It was not difficult at all to hold off the old man in hemp robes, a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator.

Not to mention the amplifying and supportive abilities he possesses, provided by his Daoist partner, Su Yuzhen.

Speaking of which, Su Yuzhen's natal magic weapon, [Water-Infused Ruyi], is quite interesting.

This treasure, as a rare auxiliary-type natal magic weapon, possesses two very unique auxiliary amplification abilities.

One possibility is the amplified divine power on Zhou Chun's body at this moment, which can save him the mana he consumes when using divine powers, while also increasing the power of his divine powers.

Another method is to directly increase his magical power, which can increase it by up to 30%!

With these two supernatural abilities, Su Yuzhen can be considered an ace support, capable of greatly enhancing the strength of her teammates.

At this moment, under the amplification of her divine power, Zhou Chun was simultaneously activating two magical treasures to fight fiercely with the old man in hemp clothing, while also occasionally raising her hand to condense a golden halberd and unleashing the [God-Slaying Golden Halberd] divine power to harass the old man in hemp clothing, preventing him from sparing much power to help the big man in black.

Moreover, even if the old man in hemp clothing still had some energy left, he wouldn't dare to use it all to help others.

Putting aside the continuous burning damage to his consciousness caused by the [Glazed Pure Fire], Su Yuzhen, who hadn't even attacked him yet, forced him to keep some trump cards for self-defense.

Who knows if Su Yu is deliberately feigning weakness now, only to deliver a fatal blow at the crucial moment!

While fighting and maneuvering with Zhou Chun, he said in a deep voice, "Fellow Daoist, why be so aggressive? As the saying goes, one should be forgiving when possible. Even if we were in the wrong today, you've already cursed and hit us, shouldn't you be calm now?"

"That's hilarious!"

Zhou Chun was so angry he laughed, and couldn't help but sneer, "It was clearly you two who first attempted to commit illicit acts, trying to kill and rob my husband and me. Now that your scheme has been exposed and you're powerless to stop it, you want to settle things peacefully? There's no such thing as a free lunch!"

After saying that, he shouted, "Enough nonsense! You won't get away today without leaving something behind!"

Zhou Chun possessed three fourth-tier spirit pets and had a spirit treasure by his side. When he wanted to obtain a magic weapon, he only thought of buying it or exchanging it with others. He never had the idea of ​​killing someone to steal the treasure.

Now that someone is eyeing the magical treasures on his person, how could he not be furious?

At this point, all he wanted was to keep these two fools around and make them pay for their stupidity.

Seeing that Zhou Chun had no intention of giving up, the old man in hemp clothing felt a chill in his heart and immediately had the idea of ​​breaking through the encirclement.

Fortunately, he still had some sense of justice. Before breaking through, he transmitted his voice to the burly man in black, saying, "Fellow Daoist Guo, things are not good. Let's each use our own methods to break through!"

However, the burly man in black was now being watched by two fourth-tier demonic beasts, one of which was a Fiery Phoenix that was good at flying. Since speed was not his strong point, once he broke through, his fate was almost predictable.

Therefore, upon hearing the old man in hemp robes' words, the man panicked and hurriedly pleaded telepathically, "Please, Fellow Daoist Lin, help me out! I will surely repay you handsomely afterward!"

"Alas! I will do my best!"

The old man in hemp clothing sighed, not daring to make any guarantees.

Suddenly, he patted the storage bag at his waist, and a beam of yellow light emerged, transforming into a blue-white jade bottle with a missing corner.

Then he formed hand seals and channeled his magic power into the blue and white jade bottle. Suddenly, the two dragon patterns, one white and one blue, on the bottle shone brightly, generating a powerful aura that made Zhou Chun's expression change.

"A top-grade magic weapon!"

He muttered to himself, somewhat surprised.

It should be noted that high-grade magic treasures are rare. Generally, only late-stage Golden Core cultivators can cultivate their own natal magic treasure to this level, and even then, only seasoned late-stage Golden Core cultivators can achieve this.

Even so, once they pass away, this superior-grade magic weapon will easily degenerate into a mid-grade magic weapon!

The superior-grade magic weapon in the old man's hemp robe was clearly flawed; after a corner was missing, its power was estimated to have dropped by at least 20-30%.

Even so, it is still stronger than many mid-grade magic weapons.

Moreover, the profound and mysterious supernatural powers of high-grade magic treasures are incomparable to those of mid-grade and low-grade magic treasures.

As the old man in hemp robes activated his magic, two beams of blue and white light suddenly flew out from inside the blue and white bottle, one after the other, chasing each other like two dragons and rushing towards Zhou Chun.

Sensing the powerful aura emanating from the two divine lights, Zhou Chun was startled and hurriedly activated his natal magic weapon, which had transformed into a golden shield, to block in front of him. At the same time, he also unleashed the "Taiyin Protective Immortal Robe" divine power of the [Moon Toad Pearl] to protect himself.

Finally, he even silently used the "Dragon Transformation Secret Technique" to condense silver dragon scales as the last layer of protection.

The two beams of blue and white divine light first landed on the shield transformed from the [Myriad Transformations Golden Cauldron], directly shattering the defensive light barrier released by this mid-grade magic weapon and sending the magic weapon itself flying away.

Then, the two divine lights disappeared into the golden glow manifested by the [Qian Yuan Golden Glow] divine power, and plowed out two channels in the golden glow with unstoppable force.

Finally, they all landed on Zhou Chun.

Instantly, the "Taiyin Protective Immortal Robe" on Zhou Chun's body shone brightly, radiating a brilliant silver-white light that clashed and eroded the blue and white divine light.

After a while, Lingbao's supernatural power finally prevailed, successfully extinguishing the two beams of blue and white divine light!

This scene caused the old man in hemp robes to change his expression drastically, his eyes filled with surprise and uncertainty as he looked at Zhou Chun's silver-white fairy robe.

As the owner of the magical artifact, and having used it to kill opponents more than once, he knew best just how powerful that attack was.

To put it bluntly, even if he wanted to block it himself, he would have to pay a considerable price, and it would be impossible for him to be completely unharmed like Zhou Chun!

"This kid must be protected by a high-grade defensive magic treasure. Could he be a direct descendant highly valued by some Nascent Soul cultivator?"

The more I thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

Whether considering the Golden Core stage cultivation partner or the fourth-tier demonic beast spirit pet, these are not things that ordinary Golden Core stage cultivators can possess.

Now, with the addition of a high-grade defensive magic weapon, it's even more likely that the person in question is a Nascent Soul stage cultivator.

In this state of increasing fear, the old man in hemp robes disregarded his promise to the burly man in black. He immediately put away the blue and white jade bottle magic treasure with a flick of his sleeve and directly raised his hand to throw a low-grade fourth-order attack talisman at Zhou Chun.

Then, taking advantage of the blazing fire dragon formed by the magic talisman attracting Zhou Chun's attention, she immediately took the black longsword magic weapon and transformed into a black stream of light, soaring into the sky to break through and escape!

"Where do you think you're going, you old thief!"

After Zhou Chun dispersed the raging fire dragon, he let out a long roar and immediately transformed into a golden light, chasing after the old man in hemp robes.

The two chased and fled, quickly disappearing from Su Yuzhen's sight.

Seeing Zhou Chun chasing after the old man in hemp clothing, the burly man in black seemed to have found an opportunity to break through. He immediately used his earth-yellow seal magic weapon to forcefully clear a path, landing on the ground and attempting to break through using his earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of magic that allows one to escape through the earth) technique.

Before he could even land, a fiery red figure suddenly approached and swatted him into the sky with a claw. It turned out that the Fiery Phoenix had anticipated his intentions and used its fire escape technique to stop him.

It must be said that after the Flame Prison Peacock underwent Nirvana and evolved into the Flame Prison Fire Phoenix, although it lost its original memories, its intelligence was greatly enhanced.

After years of training by Zhou Chun, the Flame Phoenix has become extremely skilled in fighting against cultivators, and knows how to utilize its strengths and supernatural abilities.

Zhou Chun had previously warned it to be wary of the black-clad man escaping using earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of magic or technique).

After all, Zhou Chun himself had used this supernatural ability to escape from Golden Core cultivators and fourth-order demonic beasts many times before.

At this moment, after forcing the black-clad giant back into the sky, the Flame Prison Peacock directly activated the [Glazed Pure Fire] divine power that had previously been used against the old man in hemp clothing, and burned it towards him.

This [Glazed Pure Fire] has the effect of burning a cultivator's divine sense, making it the best way to interrupt escape techniques. To concentrate on using an escape technique while enduring the burning of one's divine sense is an extreme test of a cultivator's mastery of both divine sense and escape techniques.

What made the man in yellow even more desperate was that Su Yuzhen soon joined the battle to besiege him.

Like the last straw that broke the camel's back, Su Yuzhen's offensive capabilities were very average, but her addition became the straw that broke the camel's back, both in terms of morale and actual pressure!

After putting up a brief resistance, the burly man in yellow, realizing there was no hope of breaking through, surrendered in despair.

"Fairy, spare my life! I, Guo, am willing to surrender. If you spare my life, I will accept any punishment you may give me!"

With a look of despair, he expressed his surrender to Su Yuzhen, and in order to gain her trust, he directly took off the storage bag from his waist and threw it out.

Seeing this, Su Yuzhen was both surprised and not surprised.

Upon closer reflection, it seems that the hatred between the two sides has not reached the point where a fight to the death is necessary.

Although the burly man in black originally intended to rob and kill the couple together with the old man in hemp clothing, he ultimately failed to harm them. At first, he only wanted to covet the valuables on their person.

Faced with a life-or-death situation, surrendering might offer a chance of survival, while resistance would certainly mean certain death!

A captive cultivator who voluntarily surrenders can yield very good returns, whether by extorting ransom from their faction or by making them do things for them.

If you are confident of victory and have no fear of retaliation, it is not impossible for you to accept the other party's surrender!

However, Su Yuzhen was also afraid that the man in black was feigning surrender, because she did not have the strength to restrain him, and dared not approach him to use such methods.

After pondering for a moment, she looked at the burly man in black and said, "Your Excellency may surrender, but I lack the strength to subdue you, nor do I dare to easily trust you. Perhaps you should hold out for a while and wait for my husband to return."

After saying that, he stopped attacking and even pleaded with Mu Mei and Mu Sang for leniency, asking them to slow down their offensive.

As for the Fiery Phoenix, she had only met this fourth-tier demon beast for the first time today, and since they had no prior relationship, she didn't say much.

However, with her and Mu Mei Mu Sang letting him win, even though the black-clad giant was no match for Yan Yu Huo Feng, he was able to continue to endure the hardship by relying on the defensive characteristics of earth-attribute cultivators.

However, he could clearly sense that neither Su Yuzhen nor Mu Mei Mu Sang truly trusted him and were both on guard against his escape.

This made him secretly groan, and he could only obediently continue stacking armor and tanking the Flame Phoenix's attacks.

Meanwhile, after Zhou Chun chased the old man in hemp clothing for over a hundred miles, he realized that he couldn't catch up with him using only his own flying speed.

But he didn't want to just let the other person leave like that.

He was mainly attracted by the blue and white jade bottle magic treasure. Such a high-grade magic treasure that could still unleash most of its power even with a missing piece was indeed quite rare.

Generally speaking, such magical artifacts have a high probability of being repaired.

Zhou Chun had seen and experienced quite a few magical treasures, but he only had the opportunity to obtain this top-grade magical treasure when he killed Wang Jun.

But at that time he was afraid of being caught up by Master Kuang Lei, so he reluctantly gave up the opportunity.

Every time I think about this incident afterward, I feel extremely regretful.

Now that he has the opportunity to obtain another high-grade magic weapon, especially one with offensive attributes, he certainly doesn't want to give it up easily.

After a brief hesitation, he patted the spirit beast pouch at his waist and released the Thunder Dragon Bai Bai.

He hadn't released the Thunder Dragon Bai Bai before because he was worried that revealing the fourth-tier Thunder Dragon would attract the attention of Thunder Cliff Valley.

After all, the Yan Kingdom and the Great Zhou Kingdom are only separated by one country, and the high-level cultivators of the two countries have relatively close exchanges. Once news of a fourth-order thunder dragon appears in the Yan Kingdom, it is very likely to spread to the Great Zhou Kingdom through the exchanges of high-level cultivators.

However, considering that Leiya Valley is currently closed off to protect itself, and that high-level cultivators have completely cut off communication with the outside world, coupled with the fact that True Man Kuang Lei is still seriously injured, Zhou Chun still decided not to let this opportunity pass.
