Then, taking advantage of the enemy still being seven or eight miles behind, he hurriedly took out a top-grade first-rank defensive talisman, "Golden Armor Talisman," from his storage pouch and activated it, giving himself an extra layer of protection.
Having done all this, Zhou Chun held the Moon Blade Meteor Wheel in one hand and a few mid-grade first-rank offensive talismans in the other, quietly waiting for the enemy's arrival.
After a short while, the pock-faced middle-aged man flew to a halt hundreds of feet above Zhou Chun and looked down at him, sneering, "Youngster, why aren't you running anymore? If you have the guts, keep running. I haven't had my fun yet!"
One could easily detect from his words that, after playing this cat-and-mouse game for so long with a Qi Refinement Realm cultivator like Zhou Chun, he was harboring a great deal of anger.
Facing his mocking taunts, Zhou Chun replied calmly, "Why should you be so proud, sir? Even if you kill me today, my kin will pass the message back to the Zhou Family. At that time, my clan will surely spare no effort to hunt you down!"
"If I were you, I would step back while the grudge is still manageable and leave. That way, my clan may not go to great lengths to seek you out over such a small vendetta!"
Hearing these words, the pock-faced middle-aged man's eyes suddenly froze, betraying a glint of interest.
But it was just a brief flicker of interest, and he shook his head, saying, "It's too late. Since the animosity has been established, I cannot bet my life on the mercy of your family!"
Having said that, his face twisted into a grimace, and suddenly, he sneered at Zhou Chun, "If worst comes to worst, after I kill you, I'll just leave Yunzhou and head north to Jingguo Country, where I can hide out in various states. I don't believe your family has the audacity to search for me so openly within another sect's territory!"
As he spoke, he once again brought out his blue and white jade bowl magic artifact and urged it to release a Water Dragon aiming to strike Zhou Chun.
Since he was attacking from several hundred feet in the air, Zhou Chun couldn't reach him with either magic artifacts or spells.
At that moment, Zhou Chun could only defend passively.
Zhou Chun's Silver Lightning Python, Baibai, opened its mouth and spat out a silver-white Dharma Sphere composed of lightning that was the first to blast towards the Water Dragon.
Accompanied by a thunderous blast, the attack from the Thunderstorm Technique successfully weakened some of the Water Dragon's power.
Simultaneously, Zhou Chun timed the release of three mid-grade first-rank talismans in his hand, which transformed into a Firebird and Ice Arrows, landing on the Water Dragon, further diminishing its strength.
By the time the Water Dragon finally swooped down, the Rock Earth Turtle had already cast the Stone Skin Spell, Stone Armor Technique, Earth Prison Technique, and Earth Wall Technique, fully layering itself with defense, and then positioned its massive body in front of its master to bear the brunt of the attack!
A loud rumble was heard. First, the earth wall collapsed, then the earth prison shattered, followed by the cracking of the stone armor.
The Water Dragon, having broken through three layers of defense, finally shattered itself against the thick Turtle Shell of the Rock Earth Turtle.
The man with the pocked face was slightly surprised by this scene.
But he quickly scoffed, "You think you can hold out with this Rock Earth Turtle? Let's see how I blow up its turtle shell!"
No sooner had his words fallen than he changed his tactic, channeling his mana to spray a swath of blue light from the bowl, which turned into numerous blue water spheres raining down on Zhou Chun and his servant.
With dozens of water spheres falling at once, Zhou Chun didn't know how to intercept them and could only keep the Silver Lightning Python at a distance for its own safety while he and the Rock Earth Turtle took a defensive stance.
Soon, the dense water spheres burst in a chain explosion, turning the ground around Zhou Chun into a cratered mess.
Zhou Chun and the Rock Earth Turtle were also having a tough time enduring the successive blasts.
After barely making it through this wave of attacks, the pock-faced middle-aged man launched a new round of the same offensive, giving them no time to catch their breath.
Seeing this, Zhou Chun could only continuously take out various talismans to weaken the onslaught.
Fortunately, when he had dealt with those magic artifacts, he had kept a few dozen talismans he had obtained over the years instead of selling them off.
Otherwise, it would have indeed been difficult to hold out today.
Now, he could only grit his teeth and endure as he waited for an opportunity to arise.
