However, upon hearing his answer, not only did the man in blue furrow his brow with disbelief in his eyes.

The sword-carrying man in green looked at him with undisguised scorn, saying, “Do you take us for fools? What spirit pet could cause such an extraordinary phenomenon? It seems like a magic artifact has emerged, and you wish to claim it for yourself, leading us away in the process!”

It’s no wonder the swordsman made such a comment; if Zhou Chun hadn’t witnessed the entire process himself, he too might naturally assume the spectrum of spiritual energy swirling around the Seven-Colored Spirit Pool indicated the birth of a magic artifact.

Despite the other’s rude tone, Zhou Chun still patiently explained, “Fellow cultivator, you misunderstand. Zhang here would make a Heart Demon Oath; there is decidedly no treasure there. If you two do not trust me, we can simply wait together here until the Seven-Colored Spirit Pool disperses to ascertain the truth!”

“Hmph, you’ve got quite the scheme, restraining the two of us here while your accomplices silently claim the treasure… Are you taking us for naive novices fresh from the mountain gate?”

With a cold snort, the swordsman’s gaze bore aggressively into Zhou Chun, his attitude clearly reflecting his viewpoint.

He plainly didn’t buy Zhou Chun’s words, having already assumed the phenomenon at the Seven-Colored Spirit Pool was a sign of a magic artifact’s emergence, and that Zhou Chun was deliberately trying to intercept them to seize the treasure for himself.

At this moment, the man in blue spoke up again, “Brother Li makes a point. If it’s as you say, and the Seven-Colored Spirit Pool is not the sign of a magic artifact emerging, why not let us take a closer look? If there is no artifact, we naturally would not want to antagonize you without reason, jeopardizing the chance with your spirit pet!”

Upon this pronouncement, the two men fixed their unwavering gaze on Zhou Chun.

In contrast, Zhou Chun fell silent.

After a brief pause, he sighed lightly and said, “Ah! Why won’t you believe me when I’m telling the truth?”

No sooner had his words faded than he slapped his Storage Pouch at his waist and several Magic Artifacts flew out simultaneously, launching an attack at the two men across from him.

This wasn’t what he wanted to do, but now he had no choice.

Baibai was still in the midst of its Flood Dragon transformation, and it was uncertain when it would be completed.

Should the two men discover a newly born Third Order Flood Dragon in the Seven-Colored Spirit Pool, particularly the exceedingly rare Thunder Flood Dragon, it was hard to say they wouldn’t be overcome with greed and attempt to slay the newly advanced Thunder Flood Dragon.

Whether it was the rare inner core of the Thunder Flood Dragon, the Dragon Bone, Dragon Blood, or Dragon Tendon from its body, any could make these two exceedingly rich overnight.

The fact that these cultivators had ventured into Black Mist Marsh indicated a willingness to take risks; such an event was highly likely.

Rather than test these two on their humanity, Zhou Chun preferred to stop them now.

Even if they mistook the Seven-Colored Spirit Pool for the sign of a magic artifact’s birth, he could still conceal Baibai’s existence as the Thunder Flood Dragon.

“You deceitful cur, you really do intend to monopolize the treasure!”

The swordsman, face flushed with sudden fury, let out a bellow, his treasured sword unsheathed in an instant, transforming into a streak of blue light as it flew swiftly toward Zhou Chun.

But Zhou Chun was guarded by the “Blackwater Profound Tortoise Shield,” and the Flying Sword couldn’t even pierce the dark light shield, revealing its true essence.

Zhou Chun paid no mind to the swordsman’s attack, instead fiercely wielding the “Golden Rainbow Sword” to launch an onslaught on the blue-clad man while also casting forth Mana to activate the Token Talisman, which Lin Hongyu had gifted him, manifesting a crimson Fire Flood Dragon charging towards the man in blue.

Perceiving the might of the crimson Fire Flood Dragon, the man in blue dared not let it get close.

While intercepting the “Golden Rainbow Sword” with a black long-blade Magic Artifact, he also summoned a blue Banner Artifact, conjuring a massive blue water serpent to meet the attack of the crimson Fire Flood Dragon.

He soon tasted the sharpness of Zhou Chun’s artifacts.

His middle-grade, Third Order long blade bore tiny notches from clashing with the “Golden Rainbow Sword” and could not withstand the onslaught, just as when Zhou Chun had wielded the golden blade against Wang Jun of Thunder Cliff Valley, whose silvery-white spear could not contend.

The blue water serpent, though appearing several times larger than the crimson Fire Flood Dragon released by the Token Talisman, shattered upon contact, quickly torn asunder and dried by the Fire Flood Dragon to become nothing but drifting smoke.

Seeing this, the blue-clad man’s expression shifted, and he hastily pushed the Banner Artifact to conjure a new water serpent to fend off the Fire Flood Dragon, while telepathically communicating to the still-attacking swordsman, “Brother Li, this man’s artifacts are formidable, and he might have a significant background. You go and check the situation in the Seven-Colored Spirit Pool. I’ll hold him off for a while!”

“Alright, then you be careful, Brother Wu!”

The swordsman nodded and immediately abandoned Zhou Chun, attempting to bypass him to investigate the Seven-Colored Spirit Pool.

But at that moment, a pillar of jade-green light suddenly shot out from the center of the island, piercing through the island’s dark mist to arrive in front of the swordsman in a flash.

In a critical moment, a cyan Protective Barrier burst forth from the swordsman, blocking the jade-green beam.

However, the swordsman was still sent flying, his approach halted.

“A Third Order Demon Beast!”
