Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming

Then, with both shock and rage, he exclaimed, "Which young wretch dared to be so bold, it turns out to be him!"

He had already recognized Zhou Chun as the Qi Refinement Realm cultivator that Xu Kaishan had once requested him to pursue and put out an arrest warrant for.

Ever since rumors about the Dragon Transformation Sect emerged at Flying Horse Mountain, the man in black had guessed who was fabricating and spreading the rumors.

However, at that time, there were simply too many cultivators around Flying Horse Mountain, a place teeming with a mix of both Foundation Establishment and Purple Mansion Cultivators lurking within.

To avoid exposing the whereabouts of the sect's two protectors prematurely, even though they were itching to tear Zhou Chun into pieces, they dared not make a public spectacle by searching for him during that time.

This had always been the most infuriating issue in the heart of the man in black, even causing him to worry about possible punishment from the Red Dragon Protector afterward!

However, he never imagined that the very person who had caused so much trouble for his sect, whom he had painstakingly sought after unsuccessfully, would now appear before him of his own accord.

This made him unsure whether to feel delighted or enraged.

With his experiences and knowledge, how could he not know what Zhou Chun was planning by daring to appear before him now!

At this very moment, as he watched Zhou Chun approaching closer and closer, his anger was no longer hidden and was clearly displayed on his face.

His eyes coldly locked onto Zhou Chun as he growled, "Boy, you are indeed arrogant, to dare challenge a Foundation Establishment Cultivator with your mere Qi Refinement Cultivation Level!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun immediately came to a stop tens of meters away, then replied with a faint smile, "Is the confidence of this junior not given by the senior himself?"

After speaking, he added with a hint of mockery, "I wonder, can you, in your current state, still exert the full strength you once had?"

"What? You think that just because I am severely injured at the moment, I am someone you can challenge?"

The man in black stared at Zhou Chun with icy eyes, his voice chilling as he said, "Even if I have only ten percent of my power left, it's still enough to kill ten of you Qi Refinement juniors!"

"Hahaha, then let this junior wait and see!"

Zhou Chun laughed heartily, immediately reaching into his storage pouch and Spirit Beast Pouch to release his magic artifacts and spirit beasts.

"Impudent junior!"

The man in black roared furiously, then instantly flicked his fingers, and a black water snake about three feet long violently lunged toward Zhou Chun.

The first-tier high-grade spell "Water Snake Technique" required no preparation time in his hands and was almost instant cast.

However, a first-tier spell is after all a first-tier spell, and even if his Foundation Establishment mana could enhance the spell's power, there's a limit to the enhancement. Discover the saga at m-vl-em-pyr

Zhou Chun clashed with the water snake using the "Moon Blade Meteor Wheel," depleting much of its power, and then the water snake was dispersed by the Rock Earth Turtle's "Falling Rock Technique."

Witnessing this scene, Zhou Chun couldn't help but laugh and said, "Is this the strength of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator? It's really quite pathetic!"

The man in black heard this and, knowing it was a provocation, was fuming with rage nonetheless.

After all, as a mid-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator, he could usually take down a late-stage Qi Refinement cultivator like Zhou Chun with a wave of his hand.

He had never been challenged by a Qi Refinement Realm cultivator like this.

"Junior, since you're so eager to seek death, I will grant your wish!"

He shouted in anger, his hands moved as he prepared to use a second-tier spell to defeat Zhou Chun instantly.

But just then, Zhou Chun's mind shifted, directly commanding the Rock Earth Turtle to use the "Chain Earth Spike Technique," while unleashing the "Moon Blade Meteor Wheel" at the man in black.

With this attack, the man in black was no longer able to concentrate on casting his spell and had to hastily use defensive spells like the "Water Shield Technique" and "Water Wall Technique" to protect himself.

Once one reached the Foundation Establishment Stage, first-tier spells could be cast almost instantly, requiring no casting time.

This was another significant reason why Qi Refinement cultivators found it difficult to defeat those at the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Luckily for Zhou Chun, the man's mana was greatly reduced and he had no suitable magic artifacts at hand, otherwise, Zhou Chun might not be able to withstand even three of his moves.

However, the man in black, true to his status as a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, quickly realized that there was no need for him to fight Zhou Chun on the ground.

So he flew up into the air, directly above the river's surface.

In this position, the Rock Earth Turtle's "Falling Rock Technique" was the only attack that could still threaten him, rendering all other offensive spells useless.

After casting several protective spells in succession on himself, he began to prepare his second-tier spell once again.

At this point, Zhou Chun had confirmed that the man in black no longer had suitable magic artifacts to use, otherwise, he wouldn't have relied solely on second-tier spells.

Therefore, he quickly changed his tactics.

With a pat on his storage pouch, he sacrificed the "Mini Thousand Hills Seal."

The man in black, seeing his movement, initially paid it no mind.

He had already noticed that the "Mini Thousand Hills Seal" was just a first-tier high-grade magic artifact and it was unlikely to pose any threat to him.

However, as Zhou Chun poured his mana into the artifact, the palm-sized earth-yellow seal gradually grew to the size of a horse carriage, and the man's expression changed drastically at that moment.

Regardless, the second-tier spell he was preparing was nearly complete, and if he were to dispel it now, he would not only have to endure spell backlash, but he would also waste a great deal of mana.

He gritted his teeth with determination and continued casting the spell.

So, as the giant seal came smashing down towards him, his spell was finally ready.

The man in black pushed both hands forward, and a dragon-shaped water column surged upward to meet the giant seal head-on.
