Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming

"Insect Expelling Technique? When did the Zhou Family acquire this heritage?"

Amidst the wilderness, Zhou Yu's face was filled with surprise as she stared at the insect cloud above Zhou Chun's head, completely taken aback by the Insect Expelling Technique he revealed.

No wonder she was astonished; in fact, although the Zhou Family's Insect Expelling Technique was already open to many clan members, due to the rarity of superior Demon Insects, and the time required to cultivate both Demon Insects and practice the secret technique, there had yet to be a Zhou Family Cultivator who made a name for themselves with this secret technique.

In comparison, Zhou Chun was actually the person within the Zhou Family who had cultivated and applied this secret technique to its greatest extent.

The "Mystical Armor Golden Feather" Demon Insects he released all at once numbered around five to six thousand, with mature period insects accounting for one-tenth of that, and the rest being adult insects.

The quantity of these Demon Insects was already enough to initially exhibit the power of the Insect Expelling Technique.

As soon as he released these insects, he began to murmur incantations, forming hand seals and pointing at the cloud of insects in the sky.

Instantly, a beam of golden light shot from Zhou Chun's hand into the insect cloud, and then the thousands of Demon Insects radiated golden light, rapidly flapping their wings to form a golden spear in the air.

The spear, formed by five to six thousand Demon Insects, was twenty to thirty yards long and even thicker than a water bucket.

Then, Zhou Chun pointed his hand at Zhou Yu on the opposite side, and the spear shot through the air towards the target like a bolt from a crossbow.

Zhou Yu naturally did not dare let the insect spear come close to her.

After all, she was a cultivator who primarily practiced Beast Taming Skills, and she understood the horrors of an Insect Cultivator lay in being surrounded by those Demon Insects.

Zhou Yu formed hand seals, and a black light appeared in her palm; she quickly waved her hand, and a beam of dark, ink-like light swept towards the insect spear shooting through the air.

The dark beam was enormously powerful, surpassing the Spells of typical Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators.

This was because the Cultivation Technique Zhou Yu primarily practiced was a Combat Technique; otherwise, she wouldn't remain at the middle period of Foundation Establishment at her age, which was close to the end of her life.

Yet, she still underestimated the strength of the "Mystical Armor Golden Feather" Demon Insects, bred for battle by Golden Core Insect Cultivators.

As the dark beam collided with the golden insect spear in midair, the spear merely skewed slightly, dropping some Demon Insects, but under Zhou Chun's command, it shot towards Zhou Yu once more.

This scene caused Zhou Yu's heart to sink and her eyelids twitched fiercely.

Without time to think, she promptly commanded the Golden Civet beside her, which was eagerly stirring, to assist in the attack.

At the same time, she raised her hand and brought out a black gourd-shaped magic artifact. A black, ink-like liquid gushed from the mouth of the gourd, transforming into a Dark Ink Long Snake, lunging towards the insect spear.

Meow!

The Golden Civet, following its master's command, meowed and transformed into a streak of golden light, pouncing towards Zhou Chun with the speed of golden lightning.

But while it was as fast as lightning, the Silver Lightning Python Baibai could truly control lightning.

Accompanied by a hissing sound, silver-white lightning streaked across the sky, accurately striking the incoming golden light.

Following a flash of golden and silver light, the figure of the Golden Civet was halted in midair.

On the other side, the Dark Ink Long Snake collided with the insect spear only to explosively disperse into a large cloud of black mist, enveloping the insect spear within it.

Whatever mysterious property that black mist contained, once tainted by it, the "Mystical Armor Golden Feather" Demon Insects could no longer maintain the "Insect Spear Technique," and the formation scattered.

This took Zhou Chun by surprise.

However, once he sensed carefully and realized that those "Mystical Armor Golden Feathers" were only dispersed and had suffered few casualties, he breathed a sigh of relief.

It had not been easy for him to cultivate so many "Mystical Armor Golden Feathers"; after all, it had taken nearly ten years.

If he had lost many at once, it would have been a great pain for him.

"No wonder you dared to defy the clan several times; you indeed have a few tricks up your sleeve!"

Murmuring to himself, Zhou Chun then slapped his storage pouch at his waist and released the "Flying Sky Fire Scorpion."

Compared to the quantity of "Mystical Armor Golden Feather," there were far fewer "Flying Sky Fire Scorpions," with just under three thousand.

But these Demon Insects, in comparison to the "Mystical Armor Golden Feathers," which lacked long-range attack methods, possessed the Flying Needle Technique.

The "Flying Sky Fire Scorpion's" stingers could be fired as flying needles, with a strong piercing effect.

The venom contained within the stingers was also potent, and could stack with others to enhance its toxicity.

Even a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator hit by the venomous needles of over a dozen mature "Flying Sky Fire Scorpions" could face a lethal threat.

Moreover, after firing its stinger, a mature "Flying Sky Fire Scorpion" could regrow a new one in a short period.

Upon releasing the scorpion swarm, Zhou Chun did not rush these Demon Insects to launch the Flying Needle Technique, instead allowing them to hover in the air, waiting for the right moment to act.

Leading the charge, still, were those "Mystical Armor Golden Feathers."

Zhou Yu was a formidable opponent, and Zhou Chun also wanted to see just how much combat strength his ten years of training in the Insect Expelling Technique had granted him.

As for the possibility of defeating Zhou Yu, he never considered the potential for failure.

After all, he had a third-tier mid-grade Demon Beast, the Fire Divine Jackal, in another Spirit Beast Pouch at his waist!

But Zhou Yu didn't want to drag out the fight with Zhou Chun.

Upon seeing the Golden Winged Tiger bypass her to chase after her great-grandson, she knew she had to make a quick decision.

When she saw the swarm approaching, she didn't hesitate to slap the Storage Pouch at her waist, took out a second-tier mid-grade Talisman, the "Fire Dragon Talisman," and activated it.
