Chapter 320: Die with Your Eyes Open! [Subscribe Please]
Seriously speaking, the clash between Zhou Chun and Zhou Yu didn't last long.
From the beginning of their fight to Zhou Yu's death, it was nothing more than a quarter of an hour in total.
However, the commotion of their battle was anything but minor; it could even be said to be hugely significant.
The sky was filled with swarms of Demon Insects, flashes of lightning, and fiery glows piercing the heavens.
Such a spectacle would make lower-ranking cultivators think that Purple Mansion Phase Cultivators were dueling.
This also stirred the thoughts of some cultivators who saw these abnormal phenomena from afar.
Thus, just as Zhou Chun was collecting Zhou Yu's remnants and preparing to leave the battlefield,
suddenly he saw a Black Escape Light speeding towards him from the distance, quickly approaching the vicinity of the battlefield.
When the Black Escape Light stopped near the battlefield, Zhou Chun could clearly see the appearance of the cultivator.
It was a skinny, tall middle-aged man in a grey-black robe, his face slightly pale and his temperament somewhat chilling.
But his cultivation level was genuinely at the Purple Mansion Phase!
Moreover, the style of the grey-black robe and the patterns and insignia on it were familiar to Zhou Chun; if he wasn't mistaken, they were the standard robes worn by disciples of the Corpse Demon Sect.
At that moment, the skinny, tall middle-aged man stopped in midair, first glanced over the messy battlefield on the ground, then looked sharply at Zhou Chun and questioned, "Was it you, youngster, who was fighting here just now?"
His tone, as though interrogating a prisoner, made Zhou Chun quite uncomfortable inside.
However, Zhou Chun didn't dare to show the slightest sign of disrespect and still quickly assumed an extremely respectful demeanor, replying, "Responding to senior, it was indeed this junior who was engaging an enemy just now."
Hearing this response, the skinny, tall middle-aged man said indifferently, "Oh, and what was the outcome of this confrontation?"
"This junior luckily managed to overcome the opponent and thus avenged a great enmity!" Zhou Chun also answered simply, not wanting to elaborate too much.
However, the skinny, tall middle-aged man did not stop there but further inquired, "Earlier, I saw thunder and lighting in the sky over this place, and clouds of insects gathering. Were those all your doing?"
As he asked this, his gaze slightly lowered, glancing at the several Spirit Beast Pouches on Zhou Chun's waist.
Zhou Chun sharpily caught this detail, knowing that it would be difficult to conceal the truth and that denying it now might provoke the other party.
Thus, he could only brace himself and say, "Senior is perceptive, this junior indeed..."
He was about to admit that those were indeed his techniques, when suddenly his expression changed, and he couldn't help but look towards the ground.
He saw from a certain water pond on the ground, a golden figure suddenly burst forth, charging straight towards Zhou Chun in the air.
It was the Golden Civet, which had managed to expel most of the fire poison from its body using the pond water, and was now seeking revenge for its deceased master.
Though Zhou Yu's character was far from commendable, she clearly doted on her Spirit Pet; otherwise, she wouldn't have raised it to be a high-grade, second-order Demon Beast.
A hundred years of companionship had made them as close as family.
Now that Zhou Yu had been killed by Zhou Chun, the Golden Civet naturally regarded Zhou Chun as the target of its vengeful pursuit.
Facing the Golden Civet that had sprung into action to avenge its master, Zhou Chun first gave a glance to the skinny, tall middle-aged man.
But faced with his gaze, the skinny, tall middle-aged man showed no intention of intervening, instead, the corners of his mouth curled up in a look of amusement.
Seeing this, Zhou Chun's thoughts raced, and he suddenly came up with a plan.
He rubbed his hands together and a golden light blade flew towards the Golden Civet.
Immediately, his body shone with golden light, and he transformed into a golden rainbow that soared into the sky, heading into the distance.
"Flowing Light Golden Rainbow", this secret technique, had been refined by Zhou Chun to an extremely high level, and at this moment, his flying speed was much faster than that of a Foundation Establishment late-stage cultivator.
Although the Golden Civet was also fast, it was still a bit slower than him.
"What incredible speed!" The skinny, tall middle-aged man's eyes flashed with a rare color, somewhat surprised by the fleeing secret technique displayed by Zhou Chun.
But once he saw the Golden Civet chasing after the retreating figure of Zhou Chun, his expression changed in an instant, instantly understanding Zhou Chun's intention.
"Clever boy, you've got quite the nerve!" A flash of cold light in his eyes, the skinny, tall middle-aged man immediately set off in pursuit of Zhou Chun.
Upon seeing this, Zhou Chun's expression turned grim, knowing that the situation he feared had nonetheless occurred.
He didn't know why the skinny, tall middle-aged man harbored hostility toward a mere Foundation Establishment mid-stage cultivator like himself, but things had come to a head, and he could no longer afford to be lucky.
After chasing for a distance, the skinny, tall middle-aged man suddenly shot forth a dark spirit light, which tore through the air towards the Golden Civet.
Meow!
The Golden Civet, which had been blinded by vengeance, now realized there was an even more powerful human in the sky.

With a cry, it hastily transformed into several golden light illusions to evade the dark spirit light attack.
However, under the strong Divine Sense of a Purple Mansion Phase Cultivator, its little trick was seen through in an instant.
The dark spirit light changed direction mid-air, easily locking onto its true body.
Before it could execute any other technique, the dark spirit light suddenly sped up and struck its body.
At that moment, a pitiful shriek sounded from the sky as the Golden Civet's body twirled and plummeted towards the ground, with its vital forces visibly dissipating rapidly.
