The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud

The enlarged black brick revealed clear cracks across its surface.

The entire face of the brick remained rugged and uneven.

It looked like an ancient city wall that had withstood countless storms.

However, the spiritual patterns etched on it were still clearly visible.

Even at this moment, wisps of black light were blooming.

Su Jingzhen was extremely excited.

It was his first time trying to enlarge the black brick, and he didn’t expect to succeed so easily.

He had already witnessed the toughness and hardness of the black brick.

Even the formidable Bai Suzhen couldn’t damage it in the slightest.

Su Jingzhen was confident that the Heaven-Slaying Sword Qi, along with the various talismans unleashed by the two other Nascent Soul stage cultivators from the Zhou family, would be unable to cause any harm to the brick.

As long as it could be enlarged, Su Jingzhen had no doubts about the black brick’s defensive capabilities.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

The next moment, a series of explosions suddenly erupted around him.

The Zhou family’s Golden Core cultivators screamed in agony.

Su Jingzhen felt the black brick before him shake slightly under the bombardment of chaotic energies.

Yet it remained steadfast, protecting him completely.

The black brick didn’t unleash any additional powers, but simply by virtue of its hardness, it kept Su Jingzhen unharmed.

All the surrounding buildings collapsed, and thick dust filled the air.

The debris from the buildings buried him where he stood.

Severed limbs and broken bodies flew past him.

The screams gradually faded away.

The twenty-something Golden Core cultivators of the Zhou family, under the relentless bombardment by Zhou Li and the other two Nascent Soul cultivators, were utterly annihilated.

“What a miserable sight.”

Looking at the shattered remains of the Golden Core cultivators, Su Jingzhen couldn’t help but sigh.

After the first round of attacks ended, Zhou Li and the other two Nascent Soul cultivators stared at the dust-covered, chaotic area ahead, feeling a bit uncertain.

“This time, we didn’t see that brat escape from there. I guess he’s dead, right?”

“With the kind of attack we just unleashed, even someone at the late Nascent Soul stage would surely die. No matter how strong his body cultivation might be, he couldn’t possibly withstand it.”

“But the cost to our Zhou family to kill that brat was not insignificant. All our Golden Core cultivators are dead. Even though the three of us can still form a battle array, it shouldn’t pose too much of a threat to Shen Yifeng now, right?”

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhou Li’s expression turned grim.

He instinctively glanced towards the battlefield where Zhou Tong and Shen Yifeng were engaged.

The battle between Zhou Tong and Shen Yifeng was incredibly fierce.

However, Zhou Li could still see that their family’s ancestor had already exerted all his strength, while Shen Yifeng seemed to be handling the situation with ease.

“Form the battle array!

Today, our Zhou family has already paid such a heavy price. If we still fail to defeat the Linjiang Branch of the Evil Moon Sect, then the Zhou family has no right to stand at the pinnacle of Qingzhou.”

As Zhou Li spoke, he glanced once more at the spot where Su Jingzhen had been.

There was still a ruin there, without any movement.

There was no sign of any life.

He realized that Su Jingzhen, along with those twenty-odd Golden Core cultivators, must have truly perished together.

With this realization, a surge of even more intense killing intent suddenly erupted from Zhou Li.

His aura became increasingly profound.

The two Nascent Soul mid-stage cultivators beside him silently nodded in agreement.

Their auras also began to rise.

The three of them continuously formed hand seals, and in that moment, their energies began to connect.

The two Nascent Soul mid-stage cultivators stood motionless on the rooftop, but their power seemed to completely channel into Zhou Li.

The aura of Zhou Li, who was originally at the late Nascent Soul stage, instantly broke through its limit, reaching the Soul Formation stage!

However, with the support of only two Nascent Soul mid-stage cultivators, he had barely reached the early stage of the Soul Formation.

Feeling the power surging through him, Zhou Li was excited but also slightly regretful.

If those forty Golden Core cultivators had survived, with the support of this battle array, he could have reached the mid-stage of Soul Formation or even higher.

With the battle array successfully formed, Zhou Li wasted no time.

He gripped his sword with both hands, stamped his foot, and charged straight toward the battlefield where Zhou Tong and Shen Yifeng were locked in combat.

At the early stage of the Soul Formation, he indeed had the qualification to join such a battle.

—

Shen Yifeng glanced at the approaching Zhou Li, with a mocking smile still playing on his lips.

But he didn’t pay much attention.

He continued to fight with the same ease and control.

Even when Zhou Li unleashed his first strike, the Heaven-Slaying Sword Qi, Shen Yifeng merely responded with a casual “Kill” sword technique.

He easily deflected the attack.

It seemed that Zhou Li’s participation had no impact on Shen Yifeng.

Whether it was one-on-one or one-on-two, Shen Yifeng fought with the same effortless grace.

Outside the barrier, countless eyes were fixed on the ruins where Su Jingzhen had been.

“Is he really dead?

He was so unstoppable before; could he really have died so easily?”

“It seems that way.

There’s been no movement from that spot for quite a while. Knowing Su Jingzhen’s temperament, if he was still alive, he would have jumped out and continued fighting by now.”

“It’s hard to say, but even if he didn’t die from that powerful attack, he must be seriously injured. He probably won’t have the strength to fight again anytime soon.”

“I agree, but even so, for a Body Cultivator to achieve such feats in this situation is unparalleled. In Qingzhou, no Nascent Soul cultivator could have single-handedly crippled the Zhou family like that.”

“Hey, don’t forget, there’s still another Nascent Soul cultivator inside that barrier.

If he went all out, it’s hard to say if he could completely destroy the Zhou family, but he could definitely cripple them. These two, master and disciple, are truly extraordinary.”

“…”

As onlookers with no direct stake in the matter eagerly discussed the situation, several powerful factions grew more serious.

Zou Zeyu, Tuoba Junlin, and Cang Yun of the Dongxuan Academy all stared intently at the ruins, hoping that the silence there would be permanent and that Su Jingzhen would never emerge.

Su Jingzhen’s earlier display of power had greatly exceeded their expectations.

Zou Zeyu’s face, in particular, was as dark as water.

Initially, he wanted to kill Su Jingzhen mainly because of Luo Yuebai, but now, after witnessing Su Jingzhen’s potential, he felt a deep sense of dread.

Just moments ago, Zou Zeyu imagined himself in Su Jingzhen’s position.

To his shock, he realized he might not have done as well as Su Jingzhen.

Such a prodigious talent, now his enemy, who had even won over the woman he loved, meant that only one of them could survive.

“If Su Jingzhen survives this, Holy Son you might need to make a decisive move.”

The Second Elder standing beside Zou Zeyu also looked serious.

The area was shrouded in the purple barrier, making it difficult for those outside to discern what was happening within.

But these top experts sensed that things might not be as simple as they seemed.

Meanwhile, among the Alchemist Association crowd, Ye Zhiqiu’s face had turned pale after witnessing the powerful attacks from Zhou Li and the others.

She knew Su Jingzhen was strong, but she didn’t think he was strong enough to be invincible.

She was certain that the assault from Zhou Li and his allies was something even a typical late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator couldn’t withstand.

“Master…”

Ye Zhiqiu’s mind was in turmoil.

At that moment, she couldn’t understand why seeing Su Jingzhen in such danger made her so anxious.

Noticing her distress, Ouyang Mingyue sighed softly and shook his head again, but spoke calmly, “Don’t worry.

Shen Yifeng’s strength is much stronger than anyone can imagine.

Don’t you see that he is still so calm?

If something had truly happened to Su Jingzhen, Shen Yifeng wouldn’t still be in such a defensive stance.

The Zhou family’s Golden Core cultivators have all perished, leaving a flaw in their battle formation.

All they’ve managed is to forcibly elevate Zhou Li’s cultivation to the early stage of the Soul Formation.

That’s far from enough!

Just wait and see—the Zhou family is bound to suffer a massive defeat this time.”

As he spoke, Ouyang Mingyue’s tone was filled with confidence.

Xuening shared that same confidence.

From start to finish, she had never shown any signs of panic. No matter the situation, she always believed in Su Jingzhen.

At that very moment, the ruins that everyone had been watching suddenly exploded.

Su Jingzhen’s figure reappeared before everyone’s eyes!

The area outside the barrier fell into stunned silence.

In an instant, Su Jingzhen’s figure blurred, transforming into an afterimage.

His true form had already closed in on the two Nascent Soul mid-stage cultivators, who were standing still, channeling their power into Zhou Li.
