The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud

The atmosphere had reached a boiling point.

If he retreats now without making any attempts, then the unwillingness he felt right now will probably directly contribute to the development of inner demons in him.

“Why bother living a few more days anyway?”

Seeing Su Jingzhen still advancing, the robed figure let out a sigh, as if in resignation.

But he didn’t make any move against Su Jingzhen.

However, Su Jingzhen clearly felt the fluctuations on the python’s body becoming more closely linked to the robed figure.

His heart grew even heavier.

The blood qi within him surged once more, condensing into a dragon form in his palm.

He poured all his North Sea Dragon Dragon might into this blood qi dragon form.

Su Jingzhen felt the same call as when he first arrived.

Seeing this, the robed figure was startled, then a hint of delight crossed his face.

“That aura… it’s the Dragon Might of the North Sea Dragon!

You’ve actually merged with the blood of the North Sea Dragon?

That makes sense, you’re a Body Cultivator, and the blood of the North Sea Dragon is indeed the best material for Body Cultivators to refine their bodies.

You were carrying that thing in the jade bottle you took out earlier, weren’t you?

Perfect! I happen to need that right now.

I was advising you to leave before, but now I absolutely can’t let you go.”

As he spoke, the robed figure, though still seated, unleashed a powerful wave of divine consciousness towards Su Jingzhen.

“Even if I sit here and don’t move, it’s too easy for me to kill you.

Your position as the Linjiang Branch Chief Acolyte of the Evil Moon Sect has made you too complacent.”

His divine consciousness, tinged with a sneer, surged towards Su Jingzhen’s brow.

Su Jingzhen’s heart jolted, recognizing this as the opponent’s divine consciousness attack.

He felt a mix of apprehension and curiosity.

He was currently a Condensing divine consciousness seventh-stage Spiritual Cultivator, but he had never used divine consciousness to attack anyone.

The Divine Wandering cultivation technique Shuang Jiang had given him did include a few divine consciousness-based secret techniques, but he hadn’t had the time to practice them.

He could only use his divine consciousness to defend himself outside his Niwan Palace.

However, the opponent’s Spiritual Cultivator level was clearly not particularly high.

As long as he could organize a defense with his divine consciousness, it would be impossible for the opponent to break through his Niwan Palace.

“Divine consciousness manifestation? Interesting,”

Su Jingzhen muttered in surprise. At this moment, the robed figure’s divine consciousness had taken the form of a sword and attacked him.

This divine consciousness manifestation was something he had never tried before.

Thinking quickly, he channeled his divine consciousness, forming a shield around his Niwan Palace.

No matter how the opponent’s divine consciousness sword clashed against it, it couldn’t penetrate the shield he had created.

This was simply a clever application of divine consciousness, not any specific spell. Su Jingzhen learned it instantly.

The robed figure’s expression hardened again upon noticing this.

“You’re also a Spiritual Cultivator!

That explains why my previous actions didn’t cause any damage to the Evil Moon Sect.

And you can even perform divine consciousness manifestation!”

Seeing the surprise on the man’s face, Su Jingzhen couldn’t help but sneer inwardly.

Divine consciousness manifestation? Wasn’t it just a matter of having divine consciousness?

However, he didn’t give any response.

The current situation was still pressing for him.

He didn’t know what the robed figure was doing, nor when he would finish.

But he was certain that the divine consciousness attack the man had launched wasn’t his full strength.

After all, the man was still sitting there, needing to maintain at least half his mental energy for what he was doing.

Su Jingzhen continued to maintain the dragon-shaped blood qi in his palm, steadily moving forward.

With the faint dragon might clearing the way, the pressure he endured lessened considerably.

Seeing this, the robed figure’s face darkened, his previous playfulness replaced by a serious frown.

He had underestimated Su Jingzhen once again.

“Truly impressive, no wonder the Saintess took notice of you,”

He muttered with a hint of admiration in his voice.

Even though Su Jingzhen was still on his kill list, he couldn’t help but acknowledge the young man’s talent.

In his eyes, Su Jingzhen was already comparable to the Saint Son, Zou Zeyu, in certain aspects.

“But unfortunately, you’re still going to die today.”

With a sigh, the robed figure began to rise slowly.

The giant python corpse before him, drawn by the dragon might emanating from Su Jingzhen’s palm, was gradually influencing the man’s absorption of its power.

He stood abruptly, his aura surging upwards, reaching the Nascent Soul mid-stage.

But he was becoming increasingly intertwined with the python corpse, appearing to be in an inseparable state.

Su Jingzhen’s heart pounded with alarm, but he didn’t hesitate. He knew that this was his last chance.

If the man fully broke free from the python’s influence, Su Jingzhen wouldn’t stand a chance against a Nascent Soul mid-stage cultivator, even with Phantom Step.

He could feel the pressure intensifying as he moved forward, even with the dragon might clearing the way.

He took a deep breath and pulled out the North Sea Dragon’s blood he had saved earlier.

Then, under the stunned gaze of the robed figure, he swallowed it in one gulp.

“You…you…you actually absorb the North Sea Dragon’s blood like that?

It seems I won’t even need to make a move.”

Seeing Su Jingzhen’s actions, the robed figure was taken aback once more.

He then looked at him with a mixture of pity and mockery in his eyes.

He knew the power of the North Sea Dragon’s blood all too well.

In his view, Su Jingzhen’s actions were akin to suicide.

Su Jingzhen, however, remained oblivious to the robed figure’s thoughts.

The moment the North Sea Dragon’s blood entered his mouth, it transformed into a torrent of chaotic energy, surging through his limbs and bones.

The agonizing pain he had felt before returned with a vengeance.

The meridians, already strengthened and hardened from previous encounters with the dragon’s blood, shattered once again under the immense pressure.

Su Jingzhen’s face beaded with sweat.

A series of powerful dragon roars echoed within him.

As he endured the pain, the dragon might emanating from his body grew even stronger.

The oppressive aura emanating from the giant python corpse instantly dissipated.

Fueled by the chaotic power of the North Sea Dragon’s blood, Su Jingzhen didn’t hesitate. He stomped his foot, leaving two afterimages in his wake even in this state.

The power amplified his Phantom Step to a new level.

But amidst the excruciating pain, Su Jingzhen didn’t have time to savor the newfound speed.

He had only one goal: to eliminate the robed figure before he reached his pain limit and collapsed.

“Bold boy!”

Seeing Su Jingzhen charge towards him with such reckless abandon, the robed figure’s expression hardened.

“Trying to die together? You’re too naive.”

The man in black robe cursed angrily and looked at Su Jingzhen who was approaching with the black brick raised high. He had to make a decision.

A flicker of unwillingness and resentment flashed across his face.

Instantly, he severed the connection between himself and the python corpse.

“Pfft!”

As Su Jingzhen had anticipated, the robed figure was indeed in a precarious state.

Forcibly breaking the connection, his aura plummeted, and a mouthful of blood sprayed out.

He had weakened himself before the battle even began.

This was a huge advantage for Su Jingzhen.

In the blink of an eye, as the robed figure struggled to his feet, Su Jingzhen was already close.

At a distance of ten feet, the black brick slammed down, unleashing a dragon-shaped blast of energy.

The man in black robe was indeed a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, and his reaction was quite fast.

The moment Su Jingzhen’s brick came crashing down, he stomped his foot and retreated explosively.

Simultaneously, he made a series of hand gestures.

A flying sword, not weak in rank, shot out from his hand in an instant.

“Clang!”

The sound of metal clashing rang out, and the flying sword was instantly smashed off course by the black brick.

Su Jingzhen’s body involuntarily staggered back several steps.

The difference between the Nascent Soul stage and the Golden Core stage was, after all, too great.

This hasty strike alone was beyond the capabilities of any of the five immortals previously.

Even if the five immortals joined forces, their power might not be as great as the impact of this single flying sword.

Su Jingzhen’s heart sank again. He knew he had underestimated the power of a Nascent Soul mid-stage cultivator.

The momentum of the attack was momentarily halted, causing his internal blood energy to become disordered.

The blood of the North Sea Dragon continued to rampage, further intensifying the already unbearable pain.

Su Jingzhen knew that he was approaching his limit of pain tolerance.

He knew it was time.

If he didn’t open the Guanyuan acupoint and use the power of the newly generated blood energy to counteract and neutralize it, he wouldn’t even be able to withstand the black-robed man’s attack before he would explode from within.

[Body Refinement Cultivation: Open Seven Secret Repositories!

Flesh Body Level: Flesh Body Golden Embryo (8th Stage)

Next Secret Repository to be excavated: Yin Jiao (0/1000)]

[Remaining usable points: 331]

The Guanyuan acupoint in the Dantian was instantly opened.

A wave of heat emanated from there.

In an instant, it condensed into Su Jingzhen’ Secret Repository and a source of power.

After opening the Guanyuan acupoint, Su Jingzhen’s blood energy, both in quality and quantity, received a tremendous boost once again.

The pain within his body subsided somewhat as a result of the counteracting and neutralizing forces.

However, the power of the North Sea Dragon’s blood was still relentlessly destroying his meridians.

Based on his previous experience, even after opening the human Secret Repository to counteract, it would take a considerable amount of time to repair and completely refine this drop of North Sea Dragon’s blood.

But now, he didn’t even have a moment to adjust.

Every pore on his skin was oozing blood.

Yet, his gaze remained fixed on the black-robed man in front of him, without any hesitation, he forcibly gathered the chaotic yet immense blood energy within his body into his feet.

The Netherworld Ghost Technique was activated again. Under this state, he actually managed to take three consecutive phantom steps.

His speed increased by another factor of two.

It was almost reaching the level of Nether Step.

“No matter who you are, die!”

Su Jingzhen’s body was like a powder keg at the brink of explosion.

This brick, upon being struck, seemed to find an outlet for its chaotic and violent power.

In an instant, it condensed into a dragon form and slammed towards the black-robed man.

The dragon’s might emanating from this brick grew even stronger.

“Damn it, madman!”

The black-robed man’s feet lightly tapped the ground again and retreated without hesitation.

However, at this moment, he was horrified to discover that his speed was inferior to Su Jingzhen’s.

“So fast!”

As he exclaimed in astonishment, the black-robed man quickly formed new hand seals.

A series of illusory sword qi materialized in the void.

This was a formidable Spirit Sword Technique.

It enveloped Su Jingzhen from all directions.

“Plop, plop, plop…”

Wherever the sword qi passed, Su Jingzhen’s body was immediately marked with streaks of blood.

Although the Phantom Rob had a damage reduction ability, facing a Nascent Soul mid-stage cultivator, this reduction was greatly diminished.

Su Jingzhen was already enduring unimaginable pain, so a few more wounds were nothing to him.

Ignoring the pain, Su Jingzhen took another step, his figure instantly closing in on the black-robed man within a yard.

He unleashed another brick, and the black-robed man, unable to dodge, could only meet it with his sword.

Gripping his sword with both hands, his face contorted with anger, he then slashed at Su Jingzhen’s dragon-shaped energy with his sword.

A high-pitched dragon roar seemed to echo through the void.

The power of the blood energy exploded, and although the long sword in the black-robed man’s hand did not break, his hands felt numb.

The sword flew out of his grasp.

When facing an opponent at a distance, he could rely on his swordsmanship. But up close, even a Nascent Soul mid-stage cultivator like him was no match for Su Jingzhen’s sheer physical power.

The black-robed man stumbled back, his heart filled with dread.

He retreated again.

But at this moment, Su Jingzhen pressed his advantage relentlessly.

The afterimage reappeared and was already within ten feet of the man in black robe.

The black brick was raised high once more.

His eyes were already bloodshot, and the intense pain in his body was almost making him lose consciousness.

His body seemed to be controlled by his will to survive and his determination to kill the black-robed man.

There was no turning back now.

“Bang…”

In the next instant, the black brick slammed down, but a loud boom echoed as it struck a golden energy shield.

At such close range, the black-robed man knew he was in extreme danger.

Without hesitation, he unleashed a defensive talisman.

The attack struck, and the protective shield shattered into a broken talisman, falling to the ground.

But before Su Jingzhen could launch his second brick, a silver-white bolt of lightning descended from the void, striking his arm directly.

This was a Thunderclap Technique.

It was the black-robed man’s counterattack against Su Jingzhen.

The power of the thunderclap surged through Su Jingzhen, causing his meridians and the qi coursing through them to be struck once more with immense force.

His body was momentarily paralyzed.

In that instant, the black-robed man once again created distance between them.

“As a junior, you have indeed surprised me, but it’s all over now.

If things hadn’t come to this, I would have been happy to recommend you to the sect, but there’s no turning back.”

As he spoke, the black-robed man seemed to have a hint of regret.

If he had known Su Jingzhen was so talented, he might not have made this choice.

In the next instant, his hand moved, forming a seal, and another Spirit Sword Technique shot towards Su Jingzhen.

He could see that Su Jingzhen’s condition was not good.

He wouldn’t be able to hold on for long.

He knew that as long as he could survive the danger just now, Su Jingzhen would die.

However, this was merely his assumption!

He blasted out several powerful spells in succession, and when they covered Su Jingzhen, he thought that everything was over.

In the next instant, a figure, drenched in blood, shot towards him like a cannonball.

Even at this moment, the aura on Su Jingzhen’s body was even more violent than before.

Several times more powerful!

After opening the Guanyuan acupoint, his physical body had reached the eighth level of Flesh Body Golden Embryo.

While the drop of North Sea Dragon’s blood was still releasing its power, constantly destroying his body, that power could also be used by him.

So even though he endured unimaginable pain and was constantly on the verge of collapsing, Su Jingzhen’s power was at its peak.

He unleashed Bloodthirst without hesitation.

His attributes were further enhanced.

He didn’t care what kind of damage this would inflict on his body.

He only knew that if he didn’t do this, he would die today.

Being trapped in such a dangerous situation was not what he desired.

He also regretted his initial boldness and decision to try instead of retreating decisively.

But regret was useless, he could only learn from his mistakes afterwards.

At this moment, no matter what the cost, he had to defeat this black-robed man!

This was his only belief now!
