Chapter 180: Chapter 121: Don’t be too wild in your next life [Subscribe please]

In the mountain forest, the sudden appearance of a hunchbacked old man led Zhou Chun into another bitter struggle.

The hunchbacked man had a disability, and by all accounts, should have struggled to get by even in the Cultivation World.

Naturally, for someone to reach the twelfth level of the Qi Refinement Realm with such a disability, he must have had exceptional abilities beyond the ordinary.

Zhou Chun’s current opponent, the hunchbacked elder, was without a doubt such a person.

His brazen confidence and arrogant tone were due to his undeniably strong power.

At that moment, he flung his brass-colored walking stick in his hand, which then shone brilliantly, striking at Zhou Chun like a venomous snake.

Zhou Chun saw this and tried to use his familiar tactic, immediately wielding the Twin-Pronged Flying Fork Magic Artifact to meet the attack.

Just as he activated the Magic Artifact, releasing cold energy to encase the brass walking stick in ice, a powerful shockwave suddenly erupted from the stick, shattering the covering ice in an instant.

And the silver-white lightning Dharma Sphere spewed by the Silver Lightning Python Baibai was easily absorbed by a green bronze cauldron the hunchbacked elder summoned, failing to achieve any attack effect.

After easily intercepting the attacks of Zhou Chun and his servants, the hunchbacked elder reached into his Storage Pouch and summoned another Magic Artifact, a red copper orb.

With a surge of Mana, the fist-sized red copper orb transformed with a “boom” into a cartwheel-sized fiery sphere.

Like a Heaven Fire meteor, it smashed down towards Zhou Chun.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun hastily invoked the Moon Blade Meteor Wheel to slash at the fiery sphere.

But the silvery-black circular Magic Artifact only lightly collided with the fiery sphere before being smashed away, its blades bending and curling.

Zhou Chun’s face went pale in an instant as the Divine Sense he had placed in the Magic Artifact suffered a harsh blow, resulting in a slight internal injury.

But he had no time to attend to the minor wound, as the fiery sphere, having knocked away the Moon Blade Meteor Wheel, smashed towards him again.

Without a moment to think.

Zhou Chun quickly took out a tan flag and with a surge of Mana, vigorously shook it, forming a thick curtain of earthy yellow light in front of him.

Still feeling insecure, he diverted some Mana to summon the Golden Scale Shield in front of him.

Boom!

With a thunderous bang,

the blazing fiery sphere slammed directly against the Golden Scale Shield atop the light curtain in front of Zhou Chun; then, the flames exploded violently, engulfing Zhou Chun in a sea of fire.

Seeing this, the Silver Lightning Python Baibai felt extremely angry and spat out a silver-white forked lightning, bombarding the old man as it lunged forward.

But another surge of light from the floating green bronze cauldron above the old man’s head absorbed the lightning spat out by the Thunder Python.

As the Thunder Python Baibai approached halfway, the hunchbacked elder suddenly slapped his Storage Pouch, extracting several spirit talismans and activating them, transforming them into more than a dozen fireballs suspended in front of him.

Then, with his hands forming rapid seals, the fireballs merged into one mass and transformed into a raging Fire Dragon that pounced towards the Thunder Python Baibai.

Hiss~

Perhaps sensing the severity of the Fire Dragon, Baibai let out a long hiss, and a silver-white lightning electrically shot up from its body, quickly forming a Thunder Shield swarming with lightning in front of the Fire Dragon.

However, with a “boom,” the erected Thunder Shield was instantly shattered, and even Baibai itself was blasted several yards away by the aftermath of the fire, shattering many of its Dragon Scales.

This was the first time it had ever suffered such an injury since its debut.

Fortunately, its injury was not in vain.

While it occupied the attention of the hunchbacked elder, Zhou Chun finally recovered his strength.

At this moment, Zhou Chun’s heart was filled with both shock and rage.

Both emotions stemmed from the old hunchback’s most recent attack.

Because that strike destroyed one of his top-tier first-grade Magic Artifacts, damaged another, and nearly injured him!

The power of that copper ball Magic Artifact was no less than that of a fully-charged Mini Thousand Hills Seal and did not have the weakness of needing to build up momentum!

If Zhou Chun hadn’t always focused on his own defense, had he taken that hit head-on, it would have been devastating!

Having suffered such a loss, when he saw the hunchbacked elder’s skilled control of fire in his fight with the Thunder Python, Zhou Chun became even more cautious, realizing he had truly met a formidable opponent.

Therefore, he dared not hold back any longer and quickly released the Rock Earth Turtle.

“Another top-tier first-grade Demon Beast!”

The sudden appearance of the massive turtle caused the hunchbacked elder’s eyes to twitch, surprised in his heart.

But that was all it was—surprise.

Confident in his own strength, he still didn’t think there would be any surprises in this fight.

The elder then summoned a banana leaf-shaped aqua-green Magic Artifact and stepped onto it, quickly flying up to a height of twenty to thirty yards.

This altitude was quite low but effectively rendered many of the Rock Earth Turtle’s spells useless.

This just went to show how rich in combat experience the hunchbacked elder was and how deep his understanding of Demon Beasts ran.

Even so, the defensive boost provided by the Rock Earth Turtle to Zhou Chun was enough to trouble him!

Zhou Chun stood behind the Rock Earth Turtle, controlling the Twin-Pronged Flying Fork to fight against the brass-colored walking stick while concurrently summoning a pale golden vessel Magic Artifact, conjuring golden light swords that slashed towards the hunchbacked elder in the air.
