Chapter 174: Extreme Joy Turns to Sorrow, Struck by Deadly Poison [Subscribe Please]_2
The wolf-faced mask Cultivator had long noticed his actions and quickly maneuvered the black shield Magic Artifact to block in front of the Thunder Arrow.
As a result, a loud "bang" resounded, and the black shield Magic Artifact actually shattered to pieces along with the Thunder Arrow!
This outcome surprised both parties and caused them pain, but it was clearly more unfavorable for the wolf-faced mask Cultivator.
Without the black shield Magic Artifact to defend, he had no means to counter Zhou Chun's control over the "Flying Dragon Snatch" Magic Artifact and could only retract the curved knife Magic Artifact that was relentlessly slashing at the Thunder Flood Dragon Baibai.
Zhou Chun, seeing this, also ordered the Thunder Flood Dragon Baibai to slightly slow down its assault and began to gather thunder Dharma Spheres for storage instead.
In the beginning, the wolf-faced mask Cultivator breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Zhou Chun and his servant lessen their offensive, and he reinvigorated the precious vase Magic Artifact, preparing to use it to restrain Zhou Chun's attacks.
But when he noticed spheres of silvery thunder Dharma Spheres revolving around the Thunder Flood Dragon Baibai, not yet released,
he instantly realized something, and his face turned extremely ugly.
His gaze flickered, and all of a sudden, he retracted the precious vase Magic Artifact, turned, and fled with the curved knife Magic Artifact.
He actually chose to run away directly!
"Where do you think you're going!"
Zhou Chun roared angrily and immediately chased after him with the Thunder Flood Dragon Baibai.
He hadn't actually intended to silence the man by killing him, knowing that the matter would definitely be investigated thoroughly anyway.
But the wolf-faced mask Cultivator, failing to recognize the situation, had chosen to take action to help Master Jiang, forcing him to use the secret technique "Ancestral Resurrection."
There was absolutely no way he could let him escape so easily!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sound of thunderous explosions filled the sky as the thunder Dharma Spheres accumulated by the Thunder Flood Dragon Baibai were now all hurled towards the fleeing wolf-faced mask Cultivator.
Soon the wolf-faced mask Cultivator realized that he was not only outmatched by Zhou Chun and his servant, but he also had no chance of escaping.
He was faster than Zhou Chun, but not faster than lightning, nor the Thunder Flood Dragon Baibai.
After struggling desperately for a while, he yelled at Zhou Chun: "Fellow Daoist, please stop, this is all a misunderstanding!"
"If you spare me, I will not only keep my lips sealed about today's events, but I am also willing to offer three thousand Spirit Coins as an apology!"
However, Zhou Chun did not care about his words of surrender and defection and didn't bother to respond.
Now you know to beg for mercy; where was this attitude earlier?
Seeing that he was being ignored, the wolf-faced mask Cultivator felt both regret and urgency.
If he had known that Zhou Chun possessed such strength, he would have never listened to Master Jiang and confronted Zhou Chun.
Now everything was over; he didn't even need to wait for the Fire Divine Jackal to arrive—he was already struggling to fend off the combined offensive of Zhou Chun and his servant!
"Fellow Daoist, don't push people too far!"
With a furious roar, his hands moved swiftly through a series of seals, pressing repeatedly at various acupoints on his body, causing his Mana to surge dramatically all of a sudden.
He had been forced to use a secret technique that stimulated his potential!
As his Mana surged, the Body Protection Divine Power he stimulated also increased in might, giving him much more room for error,
His eyes hardened, and he suddenly ignored the incoming "Flying Dragon Snatch" Magic Artifact, fiercely propelling the curved knife Magic Artifact at Zhou Chun himself, employing the same secret technique that consumed vital blood to amplify the Magic Artifact's might.
This move was akin to a desperate attempt to fight to the death.
This made Zhou Chun's expression change, and he ordered the Thunder Flood Dragon Baibai to intervene quickly while also drawing his bow to shoot an arrow charged with Spiritual Power.
But neither the Thunder Flood Dragon Baibai's lightning nor the Spiritual Power arrow was able to stop the curved knife Magic Artifact, which had been enhanced by the wolf-faced mask Cultivator's vital blood.
Like a blue crescent moon, it cut through the lightning, shattered the Spiritual Power arrow and struck heavily upon Zhou Chun's fully empowered Profound Light Barrier.
Bang!
With an explosive sound, the Profound Light Barrier, which had always protected Zhou Chun securely, was finally broken for the first time.
And the force of the curved knife Magic Artifact, not yet exhausted, further struck down hard upon his chest's Golden Spirit Armor, flinging him over ten zhang away!
Ang—
An angry Dragon Chant echoed in the sky—the Thunder Flood Dragon Baibai, enraged by its master's injury, acted out furiously.
Its body crackled with lightning, much like an enraged Thunder Dragon hurling itself at the wolf-faced mask Cultivator.
Silver lightning burst forth from the Dragon Horns, Dragon Mouth, and Dragon Claws, and struck closely against the wolf-faced mask Cultivator.
Such a fierce attack panicked the wolf-faced mask Cultivator, leaving him no time to check the results of his strike; he just desperately activated his Body Protection Divine Power to resist the wrath of the Thunder Flood Dragon Baibai.
And hundreds of zhang away in mid-air, Zhou Chun, after coughing up a mouthful of fresh blood, was now furiously commanding his Magic Artifacts to attack the wolf-faced mask Cultivator once again.
That strike had indeed been fierce, breaking through both his "Golden Cauldron Profound Light" and the Five Elements Spiritual Armor Technique defenses.
Fortunately, he had been wearing the "Golden Scale Soft Armor" Magic Artifact, crafted from the Scale Armor of a Golden Armored Piercing Mountain Beast, which stopped the last bit of power from the curved knife Magic Artifact and prevented the blade from wounding his body.
Even so, the close strike of the curved knife Magic Artifact caused Zhou Chun's internal organs to shake as if struck by a hammer, inflicting him with serious internal injuries.
This was the first time since his Foundation Establishment that Zhou Chun had been wounded by someone and the first time he had come so close to death.
