Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming

"How daring!"

The Black Dragon Protector let out an angry roar as he engaged in combat with the two attackers while simultaneously reaching into his Storage Pouch to retrieve a silver-white Talisman paper, about a foot long.

"Go!"

He held the silver-white Talisman and poured Mana into it, and swiftly it transformed into a gleaming silver longsword that he slashed at Zhou Mingde and his companion.

"It's the Silver Frost Sword Talisman Treasure from the Yu Family!"

Zhou Mingde's eyes narrowed as he instantly recognized the origin of the silver longsword.

As they knew, the Black Dragon Protector was injured because he was first blasted by a Secret Treasure Thunder Bead and then struck by this Talisman Treasure.

Following the death of the Yu Family Clan Leader, this Talisman Treasure had fallen into the hands of the Black Dragon Protector.

However, having known this information in advance, they were naturally prepared.

Zhou Mingde and Wang Guangping both raised their sleeves and each took out a Talisman Treasure of their own.

The Zhou Family and Wang Family, both being long-standing major clans, possessed such rare Talisman Treasures, and neither Zhou Mingde nor Wang Guangping lacked them in their hands.

Zhou Mingde immediately released a green Treasure Mirror Talisman Treasure. The green luminescence emitted by the Treasure Mirror stalled the Silver Frost Sword Talisman Treasure in mid-air.

Meanwhile, Wang Guangping brandished a longsword Talisman that radiated a bluish-purple True Fire, slashing directly at the Black Dragon Protector.

The power of a Talisman Treasure originates from the Dharma Treasures of Golden Core Stage Cultivators. Although their might is not as potent as a Dharma Treasure, the essence is extremely high.

Even though the Black Dragon Protector's body defense equaled that of a third-tier Defensive Dharma Artifact after practicing the Dragon Transformation Secret Technique, he dared not let the Talisman Treasure hit him.

He waved the Dragon Flag in his hand, and the black Flood Dragon on the blue flag seemed to come to life, suddenly charging out from the flag and transforming into a ten-meter-long Dark Flood Dragon that pounced towards the fiery longsword.

The Dark Flood Dragon, formed from the pure Power of Water Spirit, although not as refined as the bluish-purple True Fire spurred by the Talisman Treasure, had an advantage in its robust and unceasing power.

The Dragon and the sword clashed in the air, locked in a stalemate for a short time, with neither able to gain the upper hand.

But Wang Guangping had more than just a Talisman Treasure; she had her own Magic Artifact as well.

After counteracting the Black Dragon Protector's signature Magic Artifact with her Talisman Treasure, she then shot a bluish-black hairpin Magic Artifact at the Black Dragon Protector.

The hairpin Magic Artifact looked slender but was exceptionally sharp, and its speed was even faster than a Flying Sword.

The Black Dragon Protector immediately recognized the danger and urgently brought out a Dragon Scale Shield as a Dharma Treasure to block in front of him, fending off the attack.

But immediately after, Zhou Mingde raised his hand and summoned a red jade Dharma Treasure.

Under his Mana's activation, the ferocious tiger pattern carved on the front of the jade tile suddenly opened its mouth to roar, and a fiery light swiftly burst forth, transforming into a fierce flaming tiger that pounced towards the Black Dragon Protector.

Simultaneously, the Fire Divine Jackal, on command from its master, opened its mouth and expelled a column of blazing fire at the Black Dragon Protector.

This time, the Black Dragon Protector was truly overwhelmed and got struck!

Boom!

A deafening blast resounded in the sky as fire enveloped half of the sky in a crimson hue.

Then the Black Dragon Protector, covered in black dragon scales, burst out from the flames and quickly fled toward a nearby river.

He had originally planned to hold off Zhou Mingde and his partner to buy time for his subordinates to escape.

But now he realized that he had no chance against the well-prepared Zhou Mingde and his partner.

So without hesitation, he abandoned his subordinates and focused on making his own escape to save his life.

"Where do you think you're going!"

Zhou Mingde had witnessed the Black Dragon Protector's ability to escape through water firsthand, and upon seeing the direction of his flight, understood his plans.

He immediately urged the green Treasure Mirror Talisman Treasure and turned it to target the Black Dragon Protector, casting a beam of green luminescence at him.

The green radiance cut through the air and in the blink of an eye, hit the Black Dragon Protector.

Suddenly, the Black Dragon Protector felt his body grow heavy, the flow of Mana inside him slowed down by dozens of times in an instant, making it extremely difficult to mobilize Mana, and even maintaining levitation became very challenging.

Damn it!

A flash of surprise and fury crossed his eyes as he quickly mustered his Mana, trying to refine and dispel the azure light.

But the azure light, being the power generated by a Talisman Treasure, was of an incredibly high quality and not something he could easily dispel or refine.

And with him now restrained, the other attacks from Zhou Mingde and Wang Guangping promptly followed.

This situation made the Black Dragon Protector panic inside.

Recalling Zhou Mingde's earlier words, he felt that if he relied only on ordinary methods, he might indeed be in trouble this time.

Thus, after a brief hesitation, his eyes hardened, and he moved his Divine Sense, taking out an item from his Storage Pouch.

It was a talisman about one foot seven inches long, with dark red runes as tiny as rice grains piled up, twisted and twined into a dark red Flood Dragon pattern.

This object was the Dragon Spirit Possession Talisman, a secret and rare talisman of the Dragon Transformation Sect, especially bestowed to the Black Dragon Protector for this reconnaissance mission behind enemy lines as a reward.

Originally, he did not wish to expend this precious Secret Talisman in Lanzhou, preferring to keep it as a trump card for self-defense.

But now, in dire straits, unwilling though he was, he had to focus on saving his life.

He began chanting a special incantation and swiftly activated the talisman in his hand.

Suddenly, a bright blood light burst from the talisman, and the entire talisman instantly transformed into a blood-red Flood Dragon that plunged into the body of the Black Dragon Protector.

In an instant, the Black Dragon Protector's face showed an expression of extreme agony, and a surge of blood light, with him at the center, formed a blood-colored shield protecting him within.

Zhou Mingde and Wang Guangping's attacks hit the blood-colored shield and for a moment, could not break through it!

Roar——

Without warning, a roar filled with agony resounded through the air.

Immediately, the blood-colored shield shrank inward, quickly turning into countless blood-colored runes branded onto the Black Dragon Protector's black dragon scales, giving the originally rough and primitive scales a sense of exquisite mystery.

At this moment, the Black Dragon Protector's eyes were also filled with spreading blood light, seemingly affecting his divine senses.

"This..."

Seeing the transformed, fierce Black Dragon Protector, Zhou Mingde and Wang Guangping were both profoundly shaken and felt ill at ease.

It wasn't that they lacked knowledge, but that the Dragon Spirit Possession Talisman in the Dragon Transformation Sect was something that only Protector-level individuals could access.

Moreover, records related to the Dragon Transformation Sect had been destroyed and sealed in the past, and the information available to them was limited.

"Roar! All of you, die for this Protector!"

His eyes swirling with blood light, the Black Dragon Protector ultimately regained his senses and roared as he launched a counterattack.

Yes, a counterattack!

The Black Dragon Protector had now forgotten that he was originally supposed to break through and escape.

Or rather, not forgotten, but he believed that he didn't need to run away at all now and could try to turn the tables on his opponents.

His hands rubbed together, and a black Water Dragon rushed out, violently lunging towards Zhou Mingde.

Then, raising his claw, he met the incoming magic artifact with his sharp Dragon Claws, swiping the black and azure hairpin magic artifact and sending it flying away.

After the enhancement of the Dragon Spirit Possession Talisman, both his Mana Cultivation Level and his physical strength had been fortified.

To say he was a human-shaped Flood Dragon was by no means an exaggeration.

Considering how one Flood Dragon could contend against multiple cultivators of the same level, his attempt to turn and kill Zhou Mingde and Wang Guangping didn't seem wrong.

"Don't clash directly with him, wait until he has exhausted the power of the Secret Talisman, then we can settle the score!"

Zhou Mingde shouted deeply, instantly alerting and becoming extremely careful not to take any chances.

He continued to drive the azure Treasure Mirror to release light, hindering the Black Dragon Protector's movement and preventing him from using his physical advantages for close combat, while at the same time summoning the Fire Divine Jackal that had been left behind to attack the Dragon Transformation Sect Members.

And Wang Guangping, after one attempt, quenched the idea of a straightforward fight, concentrating solely on wielding the fiery longsword Talisman Treasure to fend off the opponent's Talisman Treasure, then using other magic artifacts and spells to whittle down the strength of the Black Dragon Protector.
