Beast Taming Immortal Clan

Chapter 598 Slaying Powerful Enemies in Succession [Please Subscribe]

Fiery desert.

When Xue Yan appeared with his men, Zhou Chun finally realized who had plotted against him last time.

At the same time, he seemed to understand why, even though he could make a fortune by exchanging with the cultivators in Huoluo Kingdom, not many cultivators came to "strike gold."

What he didn't expect was that even though he had been very low-key, he was still taken advantage of!

His gaze swept over the three men, finally settling on Xue Yan, the red-haired, purple-eyed cultivator, and he said, "Fellow Daoist Xue, it seems there's a reason why the Holy Fire Sect is rejected and resisted by various cultivation nations in the far west!"

"Even on the verge of death, you still dare to spout nonsense!"

The old man in yellow, surnamed Du, sneered, his eyes filled with smugness.

For the past few years, he has been staking out the vicinity of the Tianhuo Sect's mountain gate, fearing that Zhou Chun might suddenly leave without him being able to warn him.

As soon as Zhou Chun left, he immediately notified Xue Yan, who quickly brought the [Abyssal Beast] over.

Now Xue Yan has finally made his move and intercepted Zhou Chun here.

In the eyes of the old man in yellow surnamed Du, Zhou Chun was already a dead man!

He knew perfectly well how strong Xue Yan was, not to mention that he and the beautiful woman in red were assisting him, as well as the fourth-tier mid-grade demon beast, the [Abyss Beast].

With such a formidable lineup, even if Zhou Chun possessed the strength of a late-stage Golden Core cultivator, he would be absolutely doomed!

"Stop talking nonsense and just do it!"

Xue Yan frowned and interrupted the old man in yellow surnamed Du with a deep voice before he could finish his sarcastic remark.

For some reason, Zhou Chun's reaction made him feel somewhat uneasy.

Remembering some of the advice his junior brother Han had given him, he decided to act quickly and decisively.

As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately made a series of moves, unleashing several extraordinary magical treasures in one go.

boom!

With a thought, Xue Yan unleashed a burst of fire from a fiery red bronze mirror, and a beam of fiery red light instantly pierced through the air and arrived in front of Zhou Chun.

However, Zhou Chun had already activated the [Dragon Tiger Golden Ring] in his hand. A golden dragon shadow transformed into a ring, protecting him and blocking the fiery red beam of light.

At the same time, he raised his hand and patted the spirit beast pouch at his waist, and the Fiery Phoenix appeared on the battlefield with a clear cry.

"Oh, a fourth-tier fire phoenix with decent bloodline, is this your trump card?"

Xue Yan glanced at the fiery red phoenix and spoke calmly.

Then, with a glance, the old man in yellow surnamed Du chuckled and activated a yellow gourd-shaped magic weapon, spewing out grains of shimmering yellow divine sand that swept towards the Fiery Phoenix.

At the same time, the [Abyssal Beast] also activated its innate divine power, condensing a giant yellow sand dragon that pounced on the Fiery Phoenix.

With this human and demon restraining them, the Flame Phoenix could barely protect itself and couldn't possibly offer Zhou Chun any further help!

But Zhou Chun quickly made Xue Yan realize that he didn't need any help!

After releasing the Fiery Phoenix, he activated his magic power and activated the silver ring on his other hand. The ring immediately flashed with silver light and transformed into a giant silver tiger that pounced out and fought fiercely with the fire phoenix that the red-clad beauty had conjured using her magic weapon.

Immediately afterwards, his natal magic weapon, the Myriad Transformations Golden Cauldron, soared into the air and, under his incantation, transformed into a golden spear that shot towards the red-clad beauty.

Judging from his expression, he seemed to be preparing to deal with the red-clad beauty who was clearly much weaker.

"How dare you!"

Ignored, Xue Yan let out a low shout, made a hand seal, and a ball of purple flame suddenly appeared in his hand, then transformed into a lifelike purple fire dragon that pounced on Zhou Chun.

At the same time, he was multitasking, and a crimson-gold flying sword suddenly flashed through the air, catching up with the golden spear in the blink of an eye, and slashing the golden spear away with one sword!

Zhou Chun frowned, then silently activated a secret technique, exhaling a stream of white, cold air towards the purple fire dragon.

To his slight surprise, the chill that struck the purple fire dragon only caused it to weaken slightly, without harming its core.

When this object rushed in front of him and clashed with the golden dragon ring that was protecting him, the golden dragon ring, which was actually of superior quality and was a high-grade magic weapon, was quickly dimmed by the spiritual light refined by the flames, and it seemed that it could not last long.

"This kind of flame..."

Zhou Chun seemed to have thought of something, and his gaze toward the purple flames was immediately filled with apprehension.

If his guess is correct, this flame may be related to the legendary sacred flame of the Holy Fire Cult!

It is said that the Holy Fire Sect is named as such because it enshrines a holy fire with immense power. This fire is said to be not from this world, but a celestial fire that fell from the upper realm to this world, and its power is boundless!

There are even rumors that the reason why the Nascent Soul Venerable in the history of the Holy Fire Sect was able to advance to the Nascent Soul stage was because he received help from this Holy Fire.

If Xue Yan's fire-based supernatural power is related to that sacred fire, then it's perfectly normal that the golden dragon ring couldn't withstand its power.

So it's normal that the cold air he exhaled earlier didn't have the expected effect.

However, this meant that Zhou Chun could no longer continue to entangle with Xue Yan; he had to finish the battle quickly!

After having this thought in his mind, he immediately activated a secret technique and opened his mouth again to exhale a white cold air that was much stronger than before.

Under the freezing effect of this cold air, the ferocity of the purple flames was finally contained to a great extent.

Zhou Chun quickly activated the Five-Colored Dragon Scale Armor, a defensive magic treasure. A burst of five-colored light rose from his body, transforming into a five-colored light shield that protected him.

He then retrieved the golden dragon ring, raised his hand and touched the storage bag at his waist, and a silver-white flying sword appeared in front of him.

"This flying sword..."

As soon as the [Heavenly Gang Thunder-Slaying Sword] appeared, Xue Yan's gaze sharpened, as if he could sense the power of that silver-white flying sword.

But before he could make a move, Zhou Chun had already drawn his sword!

A flash of silver lightning appeared, and the silver-white flying sword suddenly vanished from Zhou Chun's sight, appearing in front of the red-clad beauty thousands of feet away in an instant.

At the same moment, three invisible swords burst forth from between Zhou Chun's eyebrows and silently struck the beautiful woman in red.

This is the first time that the third level of the "God-Slaying Technique" has been used on a Golden Core cultivator since Zhou Chun successfully mastered it.

The results were surprisingly good.

The red-clad beauty, with her mid-stage Golden Core cultivation, was struck simultaneously by three "God-Slaying Swords," and instantly screamed in agony, falling into a brief state of disorientation.

Then, a silver-white flying sword flashed to her side, easily tearing through the fiery red protective cloud surrounding her and slicing her in two at the waist.

Then lightning erupted, and the remaining power of the lightning not only shattered her soul, but also burned her body to a crisp!

One sword!

Just one sword strike!

A mid-stage Golden Core cultivator became a victim of Zhou Chun's sword, serving as a sacrificial offering for the opening of the [Heavenly Gang Thunder-Slaying Sword]!

This scene was so shocking that Xue Yan was somewhat stunned.

He remained stunned for several breaths before suddenly snapping back to reality and glaring at Zhou Chun, shouting angrily, "How dare you! You actually murdered an elder of my Holy Fire Sect and Junior Sister Yuan!"

Before the shout had even finished, he formed hand seals and unleashed his magic power. The purple fire dragon, which had been weakened by the cold energy exhaled by Zhou Chun, suddenly gained momentum and transformed into a purple fire ring that trapped Zhou Chun within it, refining him fiercely.

He then activated the fiery red bronze mirror magic weapon with his magic power, and a ball of reddish-purple fire burst out from it, instantly transforming into a reddish-purple rainbow that shot into the five-colored light shield, directly blasting a hole in the shield!

The purple flames immediately clung to Zhou Chun through the opening, like maggots clinging to a bone.

Fortunately, Zhou Chun activated the Moon Toad Pearl in time to unleash the "Taiyin Protective Immortal Robe" divine power, which blocked the ferocity of the purple flames.

Now that Zhou Chun had already used the Heavenly Thunder-Slaying Sword and the Moon Toad Pearl, he certainly wouldn't hold back any longer.

Since the Blazing Sand Sea was extremely detrimental to his transformation into the Moon Toad, Zhou Chun directly chose to activate the Thunder Dragon Demon Soul within the [Heavenly Gang Thunder-Slaying Sword].

He spat out a mouthful of blood essence onto the returning silver-white flying sword, made hand seals, and urged the sword to unleash its power, causing the sword to frantically draw out his magical energy like a flood.

Immediately, a clear and melodious dragon roar resounded in the sky above the battlefield, and the silver-white flying sword instantly burst forth with dazzling silver lightning, transforming directly into a lightning sword dragon that was more than ten feet long!

not good!!

Upon seeing the lightning sword dragon appear, Xue Yan immediately felt a strong sense of alarm and his heart pounded with fear.

He was not an ignorant person; he could see the power of this lightning sword dragon and knew that if he did not use his trump card, he would probably not be able to withstand the sword's ferocity with just a high-grade defensive magic weapon!

Therefore, he took out a talisman and activated it without any hesitation.

The talisman treasure that Xue Yan used as his trump card was certainly not an ordinary talisman treasure, but a talisman treasure made from a top-grade magic weapon.

Moreover, it is a talisman containing 30% of the power of a top-grade magic weapon!

After Xue Yan unleashed this treasure, it immediately transformed into a crimson-gold flaming bronze cauldron that floated in the sky.

Then a ball of crimson-gold flame flew out from the bronze cauldron, transforming into a crimson-gold flame lion to meet the oncoming lightning sword dragon.

In an instant, as if thunder had struck the earth, the lightning sword dragon and the crimson-gold flame lion clashed in mid-air. The powerful aftershocks of their magic tore apart the clouds in the sky, turning the sky silver-white and crimson-gold.

Silver lightning and crimson flames flew everywhere, instantly leaving a large crater in the sand sea when they hit the ground.

Fortunately, the desert was already barren, so this damage was nothing.

If this were to take place in a mountainous and forested area, the mountains and the earth would probably collapse and crack because of this battle!

But in reality, the Flame Suanni is no match for the Thunder Stegosaurus!

The claim that the lightning sword dragon transformed from the [Heavenly Gang Thunder-Slaying Sword] is comparable to the power of a top-grade magic weapon is, of course, an exaggeration.

But in reality, it definitely possesses more than half the power of a top-grade magic weapon!

The talisman that Xue Yan activated only had 30% of the power of a top-grade magic weapon!

In a close battle where both sides are evenly matched, the difference in power, even by one or two tenths, will quickly become apparent.

After the Thunder Sword Dragon and the Flame Suanni clashed in mid-air for more than ten breaths, their sizes began to shrink, and no matter how much magic Xue Yan increased, he could not reverse the situation.

This is because the talisman's power is being consumed too much, causing its essence to rapidly dissipate.

Ultimately, talismans are not magic weapons. No matter how powerful they are, they are without origin or roots, and their sustainability is far inferior to that of true magic weapons.

If they bully cultivators who lack equal skills, they can wreak havoc and intimidate other cultivators.

When encountering a stronger opponent, the word "talisman" in the talisman treasure truly reveals the true meaning of this treasure: it is simply a magic talisman that can be used repeatedly!

This situation caused Xue Yan's expression to change drastically, and he was extremely shocked.

Although he recognized the extraordinary nature of the Thunder Stegosaurus, he actually underestimated its power.

Seeing that his talisman treasure could no longer hold on, he could only grit his teeth and take out another supernatural talisman to activate.

A beam of earthy yellow light shot into the sky, quickly forming a canopy that descended upon Xue Yan's head, with strands of yellow light protecting him within.

After the Thunder Sword Dragon completely defeated the Flame Suanni, it was blocked by this divine power.

However, both Zhou Chun and Xue Yan knew that this magical talisman made by a Nascent Soul stage cultivator could only temporarily block the lightning sword dragon!

After all, top-grade magic treasures are usually only possessed by Nascent Soul stage cultivators.

Even if Zhou Chun's [Heavenly Gang Thunder-Slaying Sword] is not comparable to a top-grade magic weapon, it is still a nearly invincible power within the Golden Core stage. It can kill ordinary late-stage Golden Core cultivators without much effort.

A mere magical talisman is only good enough to withstand a dozen or so breaths of damage.

Therefore, after activating the supernatural talisman, Xue Yan immediately and without hesitation raised his hand and retrieved the crimson-gold flying sword and the fiery red bronze mirror magic weapon, as well as the golden shield magic weapon that had been protecting him.

Ok?

Upon seeing this, Zhou Chun narrowed his eyes and instantly understood Xue Yan's thoughts.

"Is this an attempt to escape?"

The thought flashed through his mind, and he wanted to stop it, but he found himself seemingly powerless to do so.

Now, most of his mana is being used to power the [Heavenly Gang Thunder-Slaying Sword], and Xue Yan is protected by the supernatural talisman. Even if he were to use his powers to activate the [Moon Toad Pearl] and unleash the "Taiyin Extinction Divine Light", he might not be able to break through the defense of the yellow canopy in one strike.

On the contrary, this will completely expose the fact that he possesses a magical treasure!

While he was still hesitating, Xue Yan had already completed the spell after retrieving the magic weapon.

His face turned pale instantly, and his aura weakened considerably, as if he had suffered a severe loss of vitality.

Immediately afterwards, a ball of crimson flame rose from his body, instantly enveloping him and soaring into the sky. In the blink of an eye, he had already flown more than a hundred miles away, and continued to flee at a speed that was barely visible to the naked eye!

This speed has exceeded the range of the Golden Core stage and has definitely reached the flight speed of a Nascent Soul stage cultivator!

Let alone Zhou Chun, even if Lei Jiao were here, he certainly wouldn't be able to catch up with this person's speed.

Therefore, Zhou Chun only glanced at the rapidly disappearing streak of light before turning his sword and wielding the lightning sword dragon to attack the [Abyssal Beast].

This beast was originally ganging up on the Flame Phoenix with the yellow-robed old man surnamed Du. The two of them had the Flame Phoenix so much that it could barely lift its head, and it could only rely on the speed advantage of flying demon beasts to maneuver and dodge.

When Xue Yan fled, he obviously notified the beast as well.

As Zhou Chun turned his sword, the beast had already burrowed into the sand.

Unfortunately, it completely underestimated the power of the Thunder Stegosaurus!

The lightning sword dragon plunged headfirst into the ground, and in the blink of an eye, the silver lightning flashed, instantly melting the red sand into magma, and it went dozens of feet underground.

A moment later, the lightning sword dragon flew out from the ground and transformed back into a silver-white flying sword, returning to Zhou Chun's hand.

Zhou Chun raised his hand and grabbed the silver-white flying sword, then turned to look at the old man in yellow surnamed Du who was trying to escape.

Feeling his icy gaze, the elderly man surnamed Du, dressed in yellow, trembled and hurriedly cried out, "Spare me! Fellow Daoist Zhang, spare me! I have no grudge against you, Fellow Daoist Zhang. This was all instigated by Xue Yan. It was Xue Yan and the people of the Holy Fire Sect who arranged for me to monitor and hunt you down!"

At this moment, the old man surnamed Du, dressed in yellow, was already terrified by Zhou Chun's terrifying achievements.

From instantly killing the beautiful woman in red to forcefully defeating Xue Yan, a candidate for Holy Son of the Holy Fire Sect, and forcing him to use a secret technique that greatly depletes his vital energy to escape.

The formidable strength Zhou Chun displayed far exceeded the expectations of the yellow-robed elder surnamed Du.

He couldn't believe that there could be such a powerful Golden Core cultivator in the world!

Although both were at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, the difference in strength between him and Zhou Chun was as vast as that between a Golden Core cultivator and a Purple Mansion cultivator.

So when Zhou Chun looked at him, even though he was still running away, he was already terrified and cried out for mercy.

But how could Zhou Chun possibly spare his life!

Zhou Chun made hand seals and cast a spell. In an instant, his figure turned into a golden light and disappeared from the spot. In the blink of an eye, he appeared more than seventy miles away.

He then repeated the same method, casting the spell once more, and appeared directly in front of the fleeing old man surnamed Du in yellow.

With his path blocked and the Fiery Phoenix in pursuit, the old man in yellow surnamed Du couldn't help but show a look of despair.

Zhou Chun had no intention of wasting words with him. He immediately threw his flying sword again, which transformed into a silver-white lightning bolt and shot towards the yellow-robed old man surnamed Du.

At this moment, the old man surnamed Du, dressed in yellow, seemed to still want to struggle a bit. He hurriedly activated a yellowish-brown round shield magic weapon to block in front of him, and at the same time used the divine sand inside the gourd magic weapon to condense a quicksand shield to protect himself.

However, with a flash of silver-white lightning, the round shield magic weapon shattered into countless fragments on the spot, and then the quicksand shield was also mostly blasted away by the lightning power attached to the sword.

Before the old man surnamed Du in yellow could use any other methods, a silver-white arc of lightning struck him directly, causing him to scream and fall to the ground with a pained expression.

And this was only because Zhou Chunjian showed mercy.

Otherwise, he would already be a corpse by now!

After capturing the yellow-robed elder surnamed Du, Zhou Chun first used the [Dragon Tiger Golden Ring] to lock him in place, sealing his cultivation. Then he flew towards the place where the lightning sword dragon had emerged from beneath the sand sea.

The previous sword strike was not without its merits; on the contrary, it successfully killed the [Abyssal Beast] that was unable to escape.

However, the beast was enormous, and after killing it underground, Zhou Chun didn't have time to collect its body.

Now that the enemy is either dead, has fled, or has been captured, he finally has time to properly collect the spoils of war!

A moment later, Zhou Chun moved the enormous corpse of the [Abyssal Beast] from underground to the surface.

This beast is over a hundred feet long and was originally known for its tenacious vitality. It is said that even if it is cut in two, it has a chance to survive and grow a new body.

Unfortunately, it was unlucky and encountered a Thunder Stegosaurus.

When the Thunder Stegosaurus tore its body apart, the powerful lightning energy it possessed surged into the wound, burning all its internal organs and completely extinguishing its life force.

At this point, the corpses that Zhou Chun brought up, apart from the outer skin which was the most defensive part and mostly intact, had much of their flesh inside charred.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun simply transformed his natal magic weapon, the Myriad Transformations Golden Cauldron, into a flying sword. He first cut off the beast's head, put away its demon core, and then dug out all the beast meat and threw it on the ground, leaving only an enormous beast hide.

The hide is very tough and thick, and covered with long hair, so it may not be suitable for making inner armor.

However, Zhou Chun happened to know a way to make it work, which was to use it to refine puppet armor!

He had seen various puppets of the Yuan Kui Sect before and knew that some beast-shaped puppets would use the skin of demonic beasts to refine the outside world, thus adding an extra layer of protection to the puppet.

Since the puppet is so large, even wearing such an armor doesn't hinder its movement.

Given the quality and enormous size of the hide left behind by the [Abyssal Beast], Zhou Chun felt that exchanging it with the Yuan Kui Sect for a fourth-tier puppet shouldn't be too difficult.

After dealing with the enormous corpse of the [Abyssal Beast], Zhou Chun picked up the belongings of the beautiful woman in red whom he had killed with a single sword strike, and then had the Fiery Phoenix burn the corpse to ashes.

After doing all this, Zhou Chun took the old man in yellow surnamed Du and landed on the back of the Fiery Phoenix, letting it fly away from the Flowing Fire Sand Sea at top speed.

This time, having killed a Golden Core elder of the Holy Flame Sect and forced Xue Yan, a candidate for Holy Son of the Holy Flame Sect, to use a vital energy-draining escape technique to flee for his life, Zhou Chun knew that he had completely offended the Holy Flame Sect.

Therefore, he must leave this fiery desert before the Nascent Soul stage cultivators of the Holy Fire Sect arrive.

Fortunately, this place was already less than two thousand miles from the border of the desert, and the beautiful woman in red was not Xue Yan, the candidate for holy son, so her status was relatively less important.

Even if the Holy Flame Sect discovers that the soul tablet he left in the sect is broken, it probably won't immediately alarm a Nascent Soul stage cultivator to follow the senses and hunt him down. At the very least, they should first go through the proper procedures to find out where he is, and then report it up the chain of command to the Nascent Soul stage cultivator.

Taking into account the distance between Tianluo Oasis and the scene of the incident, Zhou Chun should have been able to leave Liuhuo Sand Sea before the Nascent Soul stage cultivators of the Holy Fire Sect caught up!

From this perspective, Xue Yan's successful escape was not entirely a bad thing for him.

As a candidate for Holy Son of the Holy Fire Sect, the other party has an extraordinary and noble status. Who knows what kind of tricks he might have up his sleeve? If we kill him, it might be difficult to escape!
