Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming

On the shores of Misty Swamp, Zhou Chun was still struggling desperately.

Facing an enemy who outclassed him on every level, all he could do was to take hits and hold on, waiting for a turning point.

This turning point could be Zhou Jiarui, who should be rushing back soon.

It could also be a mistake made by the enemy after a prolonged inability to break through.

Whichever kind of turning point occurred, it would help him change the situation.

Meanwhile, in midair, the pock-faced middle-aged man felt increasingly anxious and irritable as he fought.

He had not expected Zhou Chun and his servant to work together and be able to withstand his relentless attacks.

What irritated him was that he, a formidable Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator, couldn't take down a mere Qi Refinement Realm Cultivator. It was utterly humiliating.

Even with no one there to witness, he felt the situation was preposterous.

Moreover, his Mana had gradually been depleted by nearly half due to continuous attacks and the previous pursuit.

For a Loose Cultivator, having nearly half of one's Mana depleted was a danger signal.

Most Loose Cultivators wouldn't possibly exhaust all their Mana during adventures, as that would mean they'd have to dangerously meditate in the wilderness to recover should they wish not to die out in the fields.

Therefore, an experienced Loose Cultivator would become very cautious once their Mana had been used past half, consciously controlling their Mana consumption.

Acting on the thought of conserving Mana, the pock-faced middle-aged man stopped his Flight by Controlling Qi and descended to the ground.

Naturally, without the advantage of height, he had to close the distance between himself and Zhou Chun to just over a hundred zhang—just beyond the attack range of Zhou Chun and the Rock Earth Turtle—to ensure his attacks could hit Zhou Chun easily, without being weakened by mountains and trees.

This finally gave Zhou Chun the opportunity he was looking for.

He first cast "Wind Control Skill" on himself and, after withstanding another wave of attacks, he quickly charged towards the pock-faced middle-aged man, with the Silver Lightning Python flanking from the other side.

Hmm?

The pock-faced middle-aged man was confused by Zhou Chun's actions, not understanding why Zhou Chun dared to leave the protection of the Rock Earth Turtle and rush toward him.

Did he think he could harm him just by getting close?

How laughable!

Though he did not think Zhou Chun could harm him, to be on the safe side, he still raised his hand in a gesture, summoning a blue light from a Magic Artifact shaped like a jade bowl in front of him, which formed a Protective Barrier around him.

This jade bowl Magic Artifact, although not as powerful as many pure attack Magic Artifacts, excelled in its versatility and was well-suited for both offense and defense, making it particularly fit for a Loose Cultivator like him.

After all, being a Loose Cultivator, it was difficult for him to procure two second-tier Magic Artifacts for both offense and defense at once, and adventuring often led to various complicated situations.

In such circumstances, the overall usefulness of this jade bowl Magic Artifact was definitely much greater than that of any single attack or defensive Dharma Artifact.

Now, with a protective layer around him, he smirked and activated the jade bowl Magic Artifact, targeting Zhou Chun with his attack.

Without the protection of that stinking tough Rock Earth Turtle, he didn't believe Zhou Chun, a mere Qi Refinement Realm Cultivator, could withstand his double attack!

As he attacked Zhou Chun, the Silver Lightning Python Baibai launched a fierce assault.

Baibai first spat a silver-white lightning orb from its mouth toward the pock-faced middle-aged man.

After the silver-white lightning orb exploded in front of the enemy, a forked serpentine lightning bolt struck the Protective Barrier, causing it to tremble continuously and its luster to dim significantly.

This made the pock-faced middle-aged man frown slightly.

But seeing that Zhou Chun had been hit hard, coughing blood, and that his protective spells had dissipated, he relaxed his eyebrows again and launched a second round of attacks against Zhou Chun.

He failed to notice that Zhou Chun had now closed the distance to only fifty or sixty zhang.

This is it!

As the pock-faced middle-aged man's attack was launched again, Zhou Chun's face twisted fiercely as he simultaneously cast two instances of "Xinjin Sword Qi" with his hands.

Two white-gold Sword Qi tore through the air, emitting a sharp piercing scream.

In an instant, the pock-faced middle-aged man felt his heart constrict, sensing a threat like never before.

Without time to think, he quickly gathered his Mana to form a Power Shield and slightly shifted his position.

Thud! Thud!

Two "thud" sounds rang out in front of the pock-faced middle-aged man.

His hastily summoned Power Shield, along with the dimmed blue Protective Barrier, were easily penetrated by the two exceedingly sharp "Xinjin Sword Qi."

It was as if they were as easy to shatter as the numerous defensive spells previously cast by the Rock Earth Turtle.

Two sprays of scarlet blood quickly appeared on his shoulder and abdomen, staining the surrounding clothing.

But that wasn't the worst part for him.

The worst part was that upon contact with his body, the two Sword Qi rapidly dispersed into extremely sharp Golden Qi, pricking like countless needles through his flesh and bones.

The Golden Qi in his abdomen even pierced directly into his internal organs like stomach and intestines.

It felt as though he was like a cultivator who had just started practicing "Xinjin Sword Qi," directly using that pure Golden Qi for training.

It was fortunate that Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators, upon successful Foundation Establishment, had bodies that had begun to transcend the ordinary.

If it had been just the Golden Qi entering his body, it would have been enough to cost him most of his life!

Yet just as he was in excruciating pain, trying to muster his Mana to expel the Golden Qi, a silver-white lightning bolt suddenly struck him, causing him to smoke from the top of his head and his hair to stand on end.
