As Zhou Chun's fingers, which pinched the arrow, loosened, the arrow in his hand, already enveloped and surrounded by white lightning, instantly transformed into a Thunder Arrow, shooting towards Wei Tong with a speed akin to that of lightning.
In an instant, Wei Tong's eyelids twitched violently, sensing a strong threat of death.
Without time to think, he hurriedly activated a Body Protection Dharma Item on his body.
A golden Spiritual Power emerged from his chest within the blink of an eye, forming a golden light barrier in front of him.
However, the golden light barrier, which could block a hit from a regular mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, was instantly penetrated and torn apart under Wei Tong's horrified gaze!
Then, Wei Tong felt a pain in his right chest, and half of his body lost sensation in an instant.
Yet, his Divine Sense was keenly aware of his body's external and internal condition.
The condition was extremely bad!
At the junction of his right chest and shoulder, a hole had been pierced through by an arrow, losing a chunk of skin, flesh, and bone.
At the same time, the surrounding skin, flesh, and bone were burned and shattered by the lightning, entirely necrotic.
The reason his body lost sensation was due to the intense electric shock causing a paralytic state!
For a moment, Wei Tong felt that his flesh might have already died, which was why he couldn't feel any pain.
But as the paralyzing effect of the lightning gradually subsided, an intense pain emerged, making him realize that he was still alive!
Then, a strong sense of fear arose from the bottom of his heart.
"No, I can't die! I absolutely can't die here!"
He growled lowly, his eyes flashing with a strong desire to live.
He quickly activated his Mana to protect his vitals, and then took out a medicine bottle and quickly fed himself several Healing Pills.
After that, he threw caution to the wind, slapped his Storage Pouch, summoned the green Flying Boat Instrument, and rapidly jumped onto it, ready to flee.
But just at this moment, another Thunder Arrow shot towards him.
It was Zhou Chun who used Mana as a guide to mobilize the lightning power contained in the longbow to shoot a Spiritual Power arrow.
Although this Thunder Arrow was far less powerful than the previous one, its power was not inferior to ordinary second-rank low-grade spells.
Wei Tong, however, was so terrified by the previous arrow that he thought this one was the same.
He was so frightened that he desperately closed his eyes and instinctively activated his Mana, forming a Protective Barrier to shield himself.
With a roaring explosion, the Thunder Arrow shattered Wei Tong's Mana Protective Barrier on the spot and flipped him off the green Flying Boat.
Only at this moment did he seem to realize something, his face full of the joy of a narrow escape from death.
But this joy didn't last even two breaths before it was engulfed by endless regret.
Because just now, he still had a chance to escape!
But now, because he'd given up resistance in despair, not only the Rock Earth Dragon fighting with the Earth Armored Bear but also the Mandarin Duck Twin Blades that had been entangling with Zhou Chun's Crimson Gold Flying Claw had dispersed and fallen due to their master's abandonment.
And Zhou Chun, who had bought some time with a Thunder Arrow, was already directing both the Crimson Gold Flying Claw and the Long Nail Talisman towards him.
Now, Wei Tong only had the Serpent-Shaped Flying Dagger in his hands. He struggled to deploy this Magic Artifact, but it was easily knocked away by the Crimson Gold Flying Claw.
Then the golden Long Nail Talisman, under Zhou Chun's control, pierced his chest!
With a gush of crimson blood spraying from Wei Tong's chest, his head was quickly shattered by the Crimson Gold Flying Claw.
A mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator had thus fallen at the hands of Zhou Chun.
"Second Wei, you useless trash! Trash!"
Far away, Su Qiang, seeing the death of Wei Tong, was both shocked and furious, screaming out loud in rage.
He had never imagined that Wei Tong, a mighty mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, not only failed to kill Zhou Chun, an early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, but was instead killed by him!
The outcome led to the failure of their mission, and now he also faced the risk of being besieged.
This was simply unforgivable!
"Damn it, you got lucky this time, but we'll see about that later!"
With an unwilling roar, Su Qiang immediately performed hand seals and cast the same Crimson Golden Streaming Fire Divine Skill that he used at the beginning to trap Zhou Daoquan, then quickly gathered his Magic Artifacts and transformed into a streak of firelight, retreating swiftly.
Having witnessed Su Qiang's prowess, Zhou Daoquan, although regretting letting him go, didn't want to force the man into a desperate fight to the death.
If he really did force Su Qiang into a desperate struggle, even if he could kill him, he and Zhou Chun could also be injured in his death throes.
Trading injury for life might seem worth it to Su Qiang.
But for Zhou Daoquan, it wasn't necessary.
After all, he still had to aim for the Purple Mansion, and Zhou Chun had to cultivate the dangerous Golden Cauldron Profound Technique.
If either of them suffered serious injuries at this time, it could leave residual damage that would cause future cultivation to fall short of completion.
Even if the probability was slim, Zhou Daoquan saw no need to take the risk.
Once he was certain that Su Qiang was truly retreating, he took out a Rejuvenation Pill and a Healing Pill from his Storage Pouch and took them together. He then hurriedly flew towards Zhou Chun.
