Beast-controlling fairy clan.

Chapter 19 Escape

drive! drive! drive!
In the wilderness, the young man galloped on his horse, running wildly all the way.

Hundreds of feet behind him, a middle-aged man in yellow clothes, wearing a green Taoist hat and with narrow eyebrows, was flying in a flying weapon, looking at him with cold eyes and chasing him relentlessly.

As time went by, the distance between the two sides became closer and closer, and soon it was less than a hundred feet.

Generally speaking, the range of the spiritual consciousness of a cultivator in the late stage of Qi Refining will not exceed a hundred feet, so a hundred feet is the normal maximum attack distance of a cultivator in the Qi Refining stage.

If the attack exceeds this distance, it will be impossible to lock onto the enemy with spiritual sense and ensure that the enemy can be attacked.

So shortly after entering the distance of a hundred feet, the middle-aged man in yellow clothes pinched a talisman with two fingers and threw it downwards without hesitation.

Suddenly, there was a flash of fire, and the talisman instantly burned and turned into a red firebird that swooped down on the young man on horseback.

It’s a first-level intermediate grade magic talisman, the “Firebird Talisman”!
On horseback, Zhou Chun looked back and saw the actions of the middle-aged man in yellow. His face suddenly turned dark and he instantly recognized the origin of the talisman used by the other party.

As a descendant of a family of immortal cultivators, you don't have to learn every spell, but you must be aware of the spells that most ordinary immortal cultivators can learn.

Otherwise, if one day someone uses a spell whose origin and effect you don’t know, you may lose your life because of ignorance.

And most spells can be made into corresponding talismans.

Therefore, after recognizing the origin of the magic used by the middle-aged man in yellow, Zhou Chun immediately slapped the back of the horse [Ink Scale Horse] he was sitting on, and his body suddenly rose into the air and leaped out.

Rumble!
Less than two breaths after Zhou Chun flew off the horse's back, the firebird flew over the head of the running [Ink Scale Horse] and exploded with a loud bang.

Then the blazing flames instantly engulfed the [Ink Scale Horse].

The tragic neighing of a horse echoed throughout the wilderness. The [Ink Scaled Horse], which was covered in flames, continued to run for hundreds of feet while screaming, before finally falling to the ground due to exhaustion.

By the time the flames on its body were completely extinguished, its entire body, even its bones, had been burnt and cracked.

However, at this time, neither Zhou Chun nor the middle-aged man in yellow cared about the life or death of a beast.

Although Zhou Chun escaped by jumping off a horse, he managed to avoid the disaster.

But after losing the [Ink Scale Horse] as a means of transportation, he could no longer escape.

After the middle-aged man in yellow cast the "Fire Bird Talisman", he controlled the flying magic weapon to fall to the ground. When Zhou Chun stood firm after vaulting, he also landed safely on the ground.

After he landed, he turned the flying magic weapon over and put it into his storage bag, then took out the other two magic weapons and strode towards Zhou Chun.

As he walked, he jokingly shouted to Zhou Chun: "Just keep running, I can run a few dozen feet for you!"

Zhou Chun ignored the guy's arrogance. He knew that a battle today was inevitable. After gaining his foothold, he quickly slapped the spirit beast bag on his waist and released the rock turtle inside, then took out magic weapons and talismans from the storage bag.

At this time, after more than two years of cultivation by Zhou Chun, the Rock Turtle has become as big as a bathtub. Its magical powers have also reached the level of a fifth-level Qi Refining cultivator, making it a first-class intermediate-grade monster. It has also awakened and mastered four innate spells.

After seeing Zhou Chun release the Rock Turtle, the middle-aged man in yellow was slightly surprised. He looked at him with surprise and said, "You actually have a Rock Turtle by your side. It seems that you are very favored in the Mu family!"

When Zhou Chun heard his words, he was moved and couldn't help but say, "Your Excellency is wrong. I am not a cultivator of the Mu family, but a member of the Zhou family of Jiufengling."

"The Zhou family of Jiufengling? Is it the immortal cultivation family that migrated from Fengguo?"

The middle-aged man in yellow was slightly startled, and couldn't help but ask a few questions following Zhou Chun's words. It seemed that he had also heard of the Zhou family's name.

This gave Zhou Chun hope. He took a deep breath and said seriously, "That's right."

Unexpectedly, after hearing his words, the middle-aged man in yellow hesitated for a moment, then shook his head nonchalantly and said, "So what? They are just a group of stray dogs that were driven out of their nest!"

After saying that, he looked at him with a half-smile and said, "You don't think that you can scare me and let me go just by telling me your name, do you?"

Zhou Chun was silent for a moment. He did have some thoughts in this regard.

But judging from the look of the middle-aged man in yellow, he obviously would not give up.

Therefore, he quickly put those unrealistic fantasies to rest, looked at the middle-aged man in yellow with a firm mind and shouted: "Since you are so confident, let me learn from your skills!"

Before he finished speaking, the rock turtle beside him took the lead in attacking.

The tortoise slapped the ground with its paw, and a sharp stone spike as thick as an arm broke out of the ground where the middle-aged man in yellow was standing. But the middle-aged man in yellow seemed to have expected it, and when the stone spike broke out of the ground, he moved and left the place.

Then he took the opportunity to mock Zhou Chun, "Don't use these little tricks to embarrass yourself. I have been through hundreds of battles and have seen all kinds of situations. How can a young man like you be able to calculate it?"

Zhou Chun looked a little ugly, but he still didn't respond to him. He just took out his light golden flying knife magic weapon.

This magic weapon is called "Golden Willow Blade". It is shaped like a willow leaf and is extremely sharp. It is a very good first-grade mid-quality magic weapon.

But the middle-aged man in yellow is a cultivator of the tenth level of Qi Refining and even has a flying magic weapon, so how could his other magic weapons be bad?

He raised his hand and a black iron shield automatically blocked the willow-leaf flying knife, easily knocking it away.

Then, without waiting for Zhou Chun to change his moves, he threw up his sleeves and uttered the word "go".

Suddenly, a cold silver light shot out from his sleeve and went straight towards Zhou Chun.

Zhou Chun was startled and quickly raised his hand to summon his own protective magic weapon, a turquoise wooden shield.

But he seriously underestimated the power of that cold silver light.

With a flash of cold light, the "Green Wood Shield", a low-grade magic weapon he used for self-defense, instantly shattered into a dozen pieces and fell to the ground. Then, the "Vajra Shield" for protection shook violently and pressed him so hard that his legs went soft and he sat down on the ground.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man in yellow couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Hahahaha, it seems that I overestimated you. Your protective magic weapon is just this kind of rubbish. It shows that you are not a person with a backer in the family. I'm afraid that no one will miss you even if you die!"

He was right, but not entirely.

Zhou Chun did not have any powerful elders in the Zhou family to rely on, but his original protective magic weapon was not a piece of rubbish like the "Aoki Shield".

After all, the Zhou family was one of the three giants of the Three Absolute Sects. It was not difficult to equip each family member who had reached the middle stage of Qi Refining with two first-grade medium-quality magic weapons, one for attack and one for defense.

It’s a pity that the first-grade intermediate defensive magic weapon that Zhou Chun used had been damaged in the previous fight with Li Han of the Li family.

After the Zhou family of Jiufengling split, most of their property was taken away by Yu Jinghua, a Jindan-stage cultivator, to build the Spirit Beast Villa. Now they are simply unable to reissue magical instruments to the family members.

Originally, this would have been fine. Even if the family did not reissue the magic weapon for free, Zhou Chun could use spirit coins to buy it from the family at a discounted price.

But the problem is that ever since Zhou Chun hatched the Rock Turtle, he has used most of his spirit coins to buy elixirs from his family for cultivating spirit pets.

If this were not the case, even if the initial growth rate of monsters was much faster than that of cultivators, it would be impossible for the Rock Turtle to become a first-class intermediate-grade monster just two years after hatching.

It can only be said that plans can never keep up with changes.

How could Zhou Chun, who thought that he should be able to stay safely in the family and practice for the next few years, have expected that he would encounter such a dangerous thing today?

Fortunately, the Rock Turtle did not eat so many pills in vain and did not let Zhou Chun down.

After realizing that its master was in danger, it glared at the middle-aged man in yellow and slapped the ground hard. Five or six stone spikes broke out of the ground at the same time with it as the center.

This is exactly the spell "Chain of Ground Spikes" that it awakened and mastered after becoming a first-level intermediate-grade monster.

It was because the middle-aged man in yellow was careless, or he was too confident in his own strength and experience, and did not cast a protective shield spell from the beginning like Zhou Chun did.

At this moment, he encountered several stone spikes appearing at the same time. Even though he relied on his spiritual sense to sense the danger in advance, he was unable to dodge in time. A stone spike rubbed against his left thigh and pierced it, directly tearing off a large piece of flesh and blood.

"Ah! It hurts so much!!"

The middle-aged man in yellow with an injured left leg fell to the ground, screaming miserably with a look of pain on his face.

He hugged his thighs with a look of pain on his face, and roared at the rock turtle with anger in his eyes: "Damn beast, I will boil you alive!"

While saying the harsh words, he quickly took out a "Vajra Shield" talisman and activated it, turning it into a shield to protect himself.

Then he hurriedly took out the bleeding-stopping and healing powder and ointment from the storage bag to provide first aid.

When Zhou Chun saw this, he was immediately filled with joy. He praised the Rock Turtle in his heart, then quickly put it into his spirit beast bag and used the "Wind Control Technique" to run away.

If you don’t run now, wait until later!
Taking advantage of the fact that the middle-aged man in yellow was recovering from his injuries and had no time to pursue him, he would be able to escape this disaster as long as he ran out of his sight.
