The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud

Chapter 459: Waiting for the Nascent Soul to Enter the Fray

Su Jingzhen’s speed had reached new heights, and his figure became even more difficult to distinguish in the eyes of the Golden Core cultivators from the Zhou family.

Fear quickly rose among these Golden Core cultivators from the Zhou family.

None of them retained their will to resist any longer.

Their original intent in coming here was nearly forgotten.

As they watched their companions fall one by one, decapitated, they only wanted to save their own lives.

Yet, the Purple Void Barrier enveloping the three-hundred-meter radius blocked their last hope of escape.

“Damn it!

How could his speed be so terrifying!”

Seeing this scene, Zhou Li and several Nascent Soul cultivators from the Zhou family were furious.

They were anxious but felt somewhat helpless.

Su Jingzhen’s speed was simply too fast.

Even Zhou Li was struggling to keep up.

Moreover, Su Jingzhen was now in the center of the Zhou family’s Golden Core cultivators.

The Golden Core stage cultivators posed no threat to Su Jingzhen at all.

Instead, they became a hindrance to Zhou Li and the others.

If Zhou Li and the others wanted to use their most powerful and threatening skills against Su Jingzhen, they would inevitably affect their own Golden Core cultivators.

The purpose of bringing these forty Golden Core cultivators was to combine their strength with Zhou Li and the other five Nascent Soul cultivators to form a battle formation.

The idea was to use the combined power of the Soul Formation stage to deal with Shen Yifeng.

This was their confidence for this battle.

However, the misjudgment of Su Jingzhen’s strength had directly placed them in a passive position.

Moreover, if Su Jingzhen continued to kill too many Golden Core cultivators, the battle formation they had prepared might not pose a significant threat to Shen Yifeng.

At this moment, Zhou Li, in the late Nascent Soul stage, felt a sense of powerlessness rise within him.

His inner unease grew ever more intense.

While he pursued Su Jingzhen with his sword, his gaze shifted to the Purple Void Barrier, which was personally created by the Zhou family.

A layer of gloom seemed to settle in his heart.

That barrier felt like a trap prepared by the Zhou family for themselves.

And they were the turtles in the jar.

“Attack together! Kill him!”

As two more Golden Core cultivators from the Zhou family had their heads crushed by Su Jingzhen, Zhou Li suddenly shouted to the other four Nascent Soul cultivators beside him, who were also somewhat unscathed.

In an instant, the five of them moved, joining the fray among the Golden Core cultivators.

Though they were Qi cultivators, their Nascent Soul cultivation level gave them a considerable amount of confidence.

Even though Su Jingzhen was a Body Cultivator, they dared to approach him.

Seeing Zhou Li and the others actively coming forward, Su Jingzhen’s heart leapt with excitement.

While his killing methods had been extremely ruthless, he had only eliminated about ten Zhou family Golden Core cultivators so far.

He was capable of killing more, but he hadn’t done so.

What he was waiting for was these five Nascent Soul cultivators to actively join the battle.

As long as the Zhou family’s Nascent Soul cultivators still cared about the lives of these Golden Core cultivators, they would be manipulated by Su Jingzhen.

They would inevitably step into the crowd.

This meant they would have to be close to Su Jingzhen!

Currently, Su Jingzhen’s cultivation was at the Flesh Body Nascent Embryo second stage.

In a close combat, even a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator wouldn’t be able to withstand him.

Sometimes, having many cultivators in a battle wasn’t necessarily an advantage; it can instead put one in a passive position.

The current situation was directly caused by the Zhou family bringing so many people.

With these five Nascent Soul cultivators entering the crowd, Su Jingzhen immediately abandoned his attacks on the Zhou family’s Golden Core cultivators.

His full attention was now on Zhou Li and the other four.

At the same time, a silver glow suddenly emanated from Su Jingzhen’s body.

He activated his Heavenly Dragon Scales.

His defense was at its maximum!

Even though the occasional attack from the Golden Core cultivators landed on him, it posed no threat.

After all, his Heavenly Dragon Scales had already demonstrated their sharpness in his battle with Cang Yun.

Cang Yun’s two Nascent Soul level talismans had been unable to break through it.

Even if he suffered some minor injuries, they were of no consequence.

The sight of Su Jingzhen’s silver aura sparked astonishment among the countless onlookers outside the barrier.

Especially on the side of the Dongxuan Academy, Cang Yun’s expression turned even darker.

Among all the outsiders, it seemed only Cang Yun had experienced Su Jingzhen’s Heavenly Dragon Scales firsthand.

“That silver glow on him seems to be quite a high-level defensive artifact.

Previously, even Cang Yun’s thunder talismans had no effect on it.

It’s possible that this artifact’s defensive capabilities have reached the Soul Formation stage.”

“This person must have some great fortune.

If his artifact continues to have such formidable defensive abilities, then the Zhou family’s Golden Core cultivators are nothing more than playthings before him.

They won’t be able to affect him in the slightest, and even the attacks from Zhou Li and the others won’t matter much.”

“If that’s the case, then the Zhou family’s large numbers have instead become a constraint.

I initially thought the Evil Moon Sect’s Linjiang Branch Chief Acolyte was a joke.

I didn’t expect his actual strength to be so formidable.

And judging by his combat style—each move is deadly and brutal—he truly is a complete demon!

It’s said that he is Shen Yifeng’s disciple. Shen Yifeng has the title of Blood-Handed Demon, and if his disciple is even stronger, he’s certainly not far off from that title himself.”

“…”

When Su Jingzhen’s brutal methods of smashing heads first became apparent, all the forces outside the barrier were shocked.

Once again, they were overwhelmed by Su Jingzhen’s power.

As such discussions spread, Cang Yun, Zou Zeyu, Tuoba Junlin, and others grew increasingly grim.

They were deeply dissatisfied with the current situation.

In their view, Shen Yifeng’s strength was beyond comprehension; they had never truly believed the Zhou family could kill him.

At best, they thought they could severely injure Shen Yifeng.

But Su Jingzhen’s display of prowess had completely exceeded their expectations.

For Tuoba Junlin and Zou Zeyu, the information they had about Su Jingzhen was limited to his achievements at the Flesh Body Golden Embryo level.

They couldn’t understand how Su Jingzhen could have reached the Flesh Body Nascent Embryo level in such a short time.

“Isn’t this a Qi Refinement environment? How could a Body Cultivator’s power grow so rapidly?

Or is he just pretending to be weak all this time?”

Zou Zeyu and Tuoba Junlin couldn’t help but think this way, their unease growing.

Their wariness of Su Jingzhen increased even more.

Meanwhile, Su Jingzhen was exhilarated.

The Netherworld Ghost Technique activated again, leaving four residual images at the original spot.

With a Nether Step, he dashed straight towards a Zhou family Nascent Soul cultivator at the early stage.

The blood energy from his Labor Palace acupoint surged into the black brick.

In almost an instant, he closed the distance to within a yard.

Without hesitation, the black brick was slammed down with tremendous force.

Everyone inside the barrier heard a high-pitched dragon’s roar.

The blood energy, amplified by the black brick, instantly coalesced into a dragon-shaped form.

It roared toward the early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.
