```
But very soon, Zhou Chun walked out, shrouded in a layer of bright yellow halo, unscathed.
The man atop the tree, however, was startled by the two Spirit Pets that Zhou Chun had released.
"Two first-grade superior Demon Beasts!"
His face turned ashen as he gazed at the Rock Earth Turtle and the Silver Lightning Python and then abruptly turned to look at his fellow Daoist who had arrived at the battlefield, suspecting that she might have intentionally wanted to see him dead.
But when he saw the shock on his Daoist companion's face, he couldn't help but become puzzled.
Could it be that she was also unaware of this?
While his thoughts were racing, the Rock Earth Turtle and the Silver Lightning Python had already joined the battle under Zhou Chun's command.
The Silver Lightning Python opened its mouth and spewed out a silvery-white Lightning Dharma Sphere, which hurtled towards the man in the treetop.
Meanwhile, the Rock Earth Turtle slapped the ground with its paw, and a patch of earthy yellow spirit light suddenly appeared under the female cultivator's feet as she rushed forward, instantly transforming into a light cage that trapped her within.
At that moment, the other masked man who had come along with the female cultivator realized something was wrong. He swiftly turned his body and fled without a word.
But just a few zhang out, a silver-white lightning bolt descended from the sky, striking the Protective Barrier he had raised, shattering it on the spot and leaving him numb all over.
Immediately following, sharp stone spikes burst from beneath his feet, piercing him chillingly through the heart.
A ninth-layer Qi Refinement Realm cultivator died without a chance to fight back, struck down by a joint attack from the Rock Earth Turtle and the Silver Lightning Python!
Now look at the man in the treetop.
Previously, the Silver Lightning Python's "Thunderstorm Technique" left him numb all over, his body falling to the ground as the tree trunk splintered.
No sooner had he stood up than he noticed that the silvery-black disc, colliding with his own black short halberd Magic Artifact in the sky, suddenly split in two, with one of the blades slashing toward him.
As he managed to use a blue-black Iron Shield Dharma Tool to block the blade in a panic, the Silver Lightning Python, having already disposed of one enemy, spat out another silvery-white forked lightning bolt at him.
Under this lightning strike, his first-grade superior defensive Spell "Wood Spirit Body Protecting Technique" finally couldn't withstand the force and burst apart.
This completely sapped the man's courage, making him desperately shout, "Wait! Please let me speak and explain!"
However, Zhou Chun had no desire to hear his explanation.
The recent events had been enough for Zhou Chun to determine that the middle-aged beauty was the main culprit behind the day's tracking and assassination attempt on him.
To him, the man held no value as a prisoner.
Furthermore, he hadn't forgotten how the man had earlier ignored his questions.
So, he let Baibai continue its lightning assault without pause while relentlessly attacking the man without giving him a chance to catch his breath.
In addition to the Rock Earth Turtle occasionally supporting with a Spell or two, the man soon fell, his face filled with unwillingness and despair, struck down by the Silver Lightning Python's "Thunderstorm Technique."
Only then did Zhou Chun turn his attention to the middle-aged beauty who was still severely restricted by the Rock Earth Turtle's "Gravity Technique" and "Earth Prison Technique," unable to move.
She was also looking at him with a face full of resentment.
"You seem to have a grudge against me, yet I fail to understand where I have offended you!" Zhou Chun said, frowning slightly at the beautiful woman, trying hard to recall if he had ever wronged this woman.
He usually had a good memory, and if he truly had offended such a beautiful woman, he wouldn't have failed to recognize her.
But after hearing his words, the beautiful woman suddenly had tears streaming down her cheeks, soaking her face.
Then, with a face full of sorrow and anger, she looked at Zhou Chun and yelled: "You killed my husband, yet you say you don't know where you have offended me? It's laughable, truly laughable, haha..."
By the end, she couldn't help but let out a crazed laugh.
The laughter was filled with helpless sorrow, sounding extremely desolate.
Oh, how she hated!
```
Hated herself for her incompetence, she still couldn't avenge her deceased husband!
Hated the enemy even more because they had even forgotten who she was!
And her appearance had thoroughly confused Zhou Chun.
He couldn't help but curse, "She really is a madwoman!"
"If it wasn't for you and your accomplices tracking and ambushing Zhou, how would Zhou have ended up killing your husband?"
"The facts are right here, can it really be Zhou's fault?"
Having been in this world for so many years, this was still the first time Zhou Chun had encountered such an unreasonable woman!
Could it be that women in this world could also ignore the facts?
But faced with Zhou Chun's scolding, the beautiful woman simply smiled wistfully and said, "Nine years ago, it was also here in the Hongyan Mountain Range, have you forgotten the man you killed at that time?"
"Even if you've forgotten that event, surely you can't have forgotten how you came by the 'Hidden Cicada Breathing Technique', can you?"
Hmm?
After hearing what she said, Zhou Chun's gaze sharpened.
Like someone who had just remembered something, he looked at her with a shocked face and said, "So it was you, you were that female bandit cultivator who escaped back then!"
As he spoke, Zhou Chun took a careful look at the beautiful woman's face and realized that although she had aged quite a bit, he could still see many traces of that charming cultivator from years ago.
But back then, they had only met once, so he did not take the one who escaped to heart at all.
So much so that if she hadn't reminded him, he really wouldn't have remembered having such an enemy.
In that case, everything could be explained.
He also finally understood why the beautiful woman had led people to track him down and ambush him.
Thereupon, with a complex look on his face, he said to the beautiful woman, "I didn't expect that among bandit cultivators, there would be a woman as devoted as you!"

This time, he was genuinely surprised.
Loose cultivators were always selfish and unemotional, and bandit cultivators were even more likely to fight each other over uneven distribution of gains.
Moreover, even aside from these, the fact that the beautiful woman, in spite of having found someone new, was still willing to sacrifice herself to avenge her deceased former husband, was enough to be termed "devoted".
However, faced with Zhou Chun's emotional words, the beautiful woman did not take kindly to them.
She spat out angrily, "Bah, I'd be dead and still wouldn't need the sympathy of a villain like you!"
"Sympathize with you? You think too highly of yourself, while Zhou may be kind-hearted, he would never sympathize with a bandit cultivator who has attempted to harm him twice!"
Zhou Chun looked at the beautiful woman with a cold smile and shook his head incessantly, saying, "If Zhou were to sympathize with anyone, it would be with your newly-found husband. Judging by his looks, he probably doesn't know that you still cherish your former husband in your heart, nor does he know that you coaxed and deceived him into confronting Zhou, all for the sake of your late husband's revenge!"
What a pitiable honest man!
Zhou Chun couldn't help but mourn silently for the man who had become a corpse on the ground.
And after hearing his words, the color drained from the beautiful woman's face, clearly having been struck by the truth.
Seeing this, Zhou Chun's disgust for the beautiful woman surged instantly, and he coldly said, "Well, now that the truth is out, Zhou will send you on your way. Remember, in your next life be faithful from the start; if you don't love someone, don't hurt another honest person!"
As soon as his words fell, he didn't give the beautiful woman another chance to speak, and directly had the Silver Lightning Python Baibai strike her down with a bolt of lightning on the spot.
Such a woman deserved to be struck by lightning!
After killing, Zhou Chun immediately collected the possessions from the three bodies, and then set fire to all three corpses.
He then quickly collected the two spirit pets and hurriedly left the scene.
