Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming
Chapter 978 - 453: Ambush and Pursuit [Subscribe Request]_2

Zhou Chun and the others had naturally agreed when they heard his words.

After waiting for about two hours, once those Earth-Walking Centipedes had come within thirty miles of the Hidden Dragon Boat, Zhang Dongyang suddenly burst forth and steered the Flying Boat straight into the middle of the Demon Cultivator's ranks.

Following that, Zhou Chun and the others inside were thrown out all at once, scattering in all directions like heavenly maidens dispersing flowers.

Immediately afterward, Zhang Dongyang and the other Golden Core Stage Cultivators charged toward those guarding Demon Cultivators of the Golden Core Stage, preventing them from having a chance to strike at Zhou Chun and the rest.

Talking about Zhou Chun and the others who were thrown out of the Hidden Dragon Boat, they immediately deployed Defensive Dharma Artifacts and protective spells to guard themselves while unleashing Magic Artifacts and spells to attack the Earth-Walking Centipedes and Demon Cultivators on the ground.

Zhou Chun didn't have time to see what the others were doing, he immediately activated the Xuangang Bead and Silver Bell to protect himself, then unleashed the still-warm "Goldflame Demon-Subduing Sabre" to slash at an Earth-Walking Centipede.

At the same time, he flicked his Spirit Beast Pouch at his waist, and hordes of "Mystical Armor Golden Feather" Demon Insects swooped out, charging towards the Demon Cultivators on the ground.

And the Golden Armor Turtle Bearer Stone also took the opportunity to fly out and crash onto the ground.

In terms of bullying the weak, he was likely the best among these cultivators!

The Demon Cultivators, clearly not expecting that there would be an ambush by the Heavenly Spirit Legion in the Lifeless Desert.

This area, which can be considered their deep rear at present, should have been extremely safe.

For this reason, whether it was to conserve mana or due to a relaxed mental state, no preparedness was shown by these marching Demon Cultivators.

After all, they had Golden Core Stage Demon Cultivators escorting them in the sky, and should any enemy appear, those Golden Core Stage cultivators would have given an early warning!

Little did they expect that the Heavenly Spirit Legion aimed precisely for such a psychological blind spot to ambush them in the seemingly safe Lifeless Desert!

The result was clear, the Heavenly Spirit Legion's ambush achieved tremendous success.

In just the first round of attack by Zhou Chun alone, he had slain an Earth-Walking Centipede and instantly killed over a hundred Demon Cultivators.

Following that, the spreading "Mystical Armor Golden Feather" Demon Insects and the landed Golden Armor Turtle Bearer Stone continuously contributed to his tally of battle merits.

It was fortunate that he had unleashed the Shadow Recording Bead beforehand to record the shadows, otherwise, it would have been difficult for him to collect and settle the battle merits for so many dead Demon Cultivators.

It was only after his first round of successful attacks that the Demon Cultivators finally came to their senses amidst the surprise and flurry, launching their resistance and counterattack furiously.

On Zhou Chun's side, two Middle Stage Purple Mansion Demon Cultivators each shouted angrily as they launched their attacks, unleashing sinister Demon Artifacts and spells from the Demon Path towards him.

These two Demon Cultivators seemed to be from the Yin Ghost Sect, and if Zhou Chun released the Thunder Python Baibai, they would instantly learn what pain truly was.

However, concerned about Zhang Dongyang in the sky who had cultivated the Spirit Eye Divine Ability, Zhou Chun did not choose to do so immediately.

He saw Zhou Chun spur his mana to defend the Silver Bell artifact, and rings of silver sound waves surged towards the Yin Ghosts charging at him.

These incorporeal Yin Ghosts, difficult to harm with flying swords and other artifacts, could be somewhat restrained by sound waves, destabilizing their soul forms.

Simultaneously, as Zhou Chun manipulated his spells, a golden crystal embedded in the "Goldflame Demon-Subduing Sabre" suddenly burst forth with bright light, which turned into a flame and coated the blade, transforming the precious sword into a flaming golden blade that swept fiercely towards a Middle Stage Purple Mansion Demon Cultivator.

This blade, a masterwork of a Refinement Master from the Sunflame Sect, was distinguished precisely by this golden flame.

This golden flame was extremely effective in refining Yinsha Demon Qi, and its attachment to the blade not only impaired many of the mystical abilities of the corrupted Demon Artifacts but also added refining demon flame damage when attacking Demon Cultivators.

The Demon Cultivator Zhou Chun attacked was unaware of the sabre's power. Initially, he merely summoned a sinister gray-black shield to defend against the attack of the flaming golden blade, but after just a few strikes, the Third Order mid-grade shield was covered in cracks and soon shattered into pieces!

Such a fierce and overpowering attack also terrified that person, prompting him to desperately switch to a defensive stance against Zhou Chun's onslaught.

As for the other Middle Stage Purple Mansion Demon Cultivator, Zhou Chun dealt with him by summoning another newly acquired artifact, the "Golden Light Demon-Extinguishing Mirror."

A golden Bagua mirror hovered in the sky, and as Zhou Chun stimulated his mana, golden light gathered on the mirror surface, soon unleashing a beam of divine light that blasted towards the opposing Demon Cultivator.

The speed of this golden divine light was comparable to lightning, reaching the opponent in an instant.

That Demon Cultivator had originally shrouded himself with a thick Yinsha Demon Cloud for protection, hiding inside and launching attacks against Zhou Chun.

However, as soon as the black Magic Cloud was illuminated by the golden divine light, it dissipated like snow melting before the sun.

The Demon Cultivator inside then realized the situation too late, panicking as he waved a Demon Banner in front to shield himself.

Although he narrowly escaped a catastrophe, his hard-earned Yin Soul Banner was shattered by the golden light puncturing the banner's face and part of the pole, making it unusable.

Such a loss also caused immense pain to this Demon Cultivator.

He had originally been full of hopes to exploit this expedition to the Tianling Region to collect the souls of cultivators and mortals in order to refine this artifact, aiming to upgrade it to a Third Order high-grade as soon as possible.
