Chapter 518: Two Guarding the Sect
Chapter 518: Two Guarding the Sect
Even though Bai Suzhen had guessed Su Jingzhen’s intentions, she still found it somewhat unbelievable when he actually issued the challenge.
She had always known that Su Jingzhen was a bit reckless, but she had never imagined that one day he would challenge her.
But for such a delightful matter, Bai Suzhen was more than willing to give in.
“Alright, use all your power to attack me.”
Bai Suzhen’s voice was calm.
Meanwhile, Su Jingzhen was silently gathering power.
The qi and blood in his human secret repositories had become more advanced.
Now, they surged and converged in his right Labor Palace acupoint, ready to erupt into the black brick with the utmost ferocity.
At the same time, his body glowed with a silver light as he activated his Primordial Heavenly Dragon Scales.
The dragon nature in his blood suddenly surged, and a rather formidable Dragon Spirit emanated from him.That wasn’t all. Inside the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss in the black brick, Su Jingzhen’s consciousness looked at Little Green, who was still rooted in the Spiritual Source and was silently absorbing the power of the Spiritual Vein.
“Little Green, if I go into battle, can I borrow some of the power from the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss?”
He would certainly try to find treasures to restore the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss for Little Green.
But every investment has to have a return.
Upon hearing this, Little Green’s leaves suddenly glowed with a faint green light.
The light shone on Su Jingzhen’s consciousness.
Immediately, Su Jingzhen felt as if he had been granted some authority.
He could feel a powerful pressure in the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.
He didn’t know what kind of power it was, but it felt more advanced than the Dragon Energy he had activated.
This pressure seemed to be able to enhance his attacks.
Su Jingzhen’s heart raced as he looked at Bai Suzhen with burning eyes.
He decided not to activate Bloodthirst, considering its side effects.
It was best not to use it unless absolutely necessary.
“Suzhen, be careful!”
Su Jingzhen shouted to Bai Suzhen.
Without hesitation, Su Jingzhen swung the brick at Bai Suzhen’s head.
As he swung, the power he had prepared erupted, all of it pouring into the darkness. Immediately, a dragon-like power howled out.
The dragon-shaped power he unleashed was incredibly powerful, and its shape was almost tangible.
Feeling the pressure it carried, Bai Suzhen’s sapphire eyes showed another hint of surprise.
But it was just surprise.
The next moment, Bai Suzhen’s snow-white snake tail suddenly swept horizontally.
It was then seen that when Bai Suzhen’s tail touched Su Jingzhen’s dragon-like power, it burst into a blinding white light.
The dragon-shaped power barely lasted a moment before it dissipated.
Then, with its remaining power, Bai Suzhen’s tail directly hit Su Jingzhen’s chest.
“Boom!”
A deep, solid boom echoed, and Su Jingzhen’s body was sent flying backward.
He smashed through four or five trees in the dense forest before coming to a halt.
Blood dripped from the corner of his mouth.
His breath became slightly weak.
At this moment, Su Jingzhen vividly experienced the phrase “utterly defeated”.
“Ugh~”
Another large mouthful of blood spurted out.
Su Jingzhen showed a helpless, bitter smile: “Suzhen, couldn’t you go a little easier on me?”
Bai Suzhen scornfully replied, “If I hadn’t held back, you wouldn’t just be spitting blood, you would have been reduced to ashes.”
But then her sapphire eyes showed a hint of appreciation: “However, your attack just now was interesting.
At the same level, no one should be able to withstand that brick.
Even Soul Formation level cultivators would be nothing before you.
I’m really starting to like you more and more.”
This sudden praise made Su Jingzhen feel a little embarrassed.
He put down the black brick and scratched his head: “Hehe, be more serious with me.
Such praise really makes me feel a bit strange and shy.”
“Hmph~”
Bai Suzhen snorted lightly without saying much.
She showed a bit of her proud side.
Su Jingzhen took two Rebirth Pills and sat down to recover from his injuries.
Half an hour later, he stood up in the forest, full of energy.
The excitement of having his Dantian restored and reaching the fifth layer of Flesh Body Nascent Embryo was now hidden.
He also looked at Bai Suzhen with more respect.
“It’s about time. I should go back and guard the sect with Master.”
As he spoke, his eyes revealed a sense of passion.
This time, he could fully stand beside Shen Yifeng to face these Soul Formation level cultivators.
Bai Suzhen nodded without saying much more to him.
With a flash of white light, she transformed back into the belt that was wrapped around Su Jingzhen’s waist.
As Su Jingzhen prepared to descend the mountain,
Feng Qingya and Feng Xuan had already arrived at the cave where the spirit vein was supposed to be.
“The location marked by the message is right here.
But isn’t this just an ordinary beast cave?
Although this cave seems a bit mysterious, and the beast that once lurked here should not be easy.
But how does it have anything to do with a spirit vein?”
Feng Xuan’s divine consciousness of the Divine Intent Realm spread out.
Soon, he had thoroughly investigated the entire cave.
He found no trace of a spirit vein, let alone one that had reached the level of liquefying spiritual energy.
He only found a few spirit stones of decent quality on the walls.
“I was looking forward to this spirit vein, it seems I’m getting old and my mind is decaying,”
Feng Xuan said with another bitter smile.
Then the two of them prepared to leave.
At that moment, Bai Yuntian and his group arrived at the entrance of the cave.
Both sides were a bit surprised to see each other.
However, Bai Yuntian quickly recognized Feng Xuan’s identity. Feng Xuan was an ancestor of the Feng family from many generations ago.
His reputation was much higher than Bai Yuntian’s.
“Greetings, Senior Feng. I didn’t expect even Senior Feng to come out of seclusion this time.”
Bai Yuntian greeted first.
The people from the Heavenly Blade Sect, the Peerless Sect, and other forces also paid their respects to Feng Xuan.
“Hehe, your speed isn’t slow either.
However, it seems that the person who sent this message had malicious intentions.
You can investigate the details yourself.”
Since they had arrived here, Bai Yuntian and the others would naturally want to investigate thoroughly.
After all, the news spread by the Six Heavenly Generals was too convincing.
Feng Xuan and Feng Qingya stepped aside, allowing Bai Yuntian and the others to enter the cave.
“Where is the trace of a spirit vein?
Throwing a few broken spirit stones here and pretending that they are a spirit vein? Truly ridiculous.”
Everyone agreed that spirit veins were born from nature.
They stayed where they were formed, and no one could move them.
And if they were maliciously destroyed, they couldn’t transform into their current state so quickly.
The spiritual energy here was slightly more concentrated than in other places on Clear Wind Mountain, but it was still very limited.
Several Soul Formation level cultivators had already attacked the walls together, causing them to collapse easily.
It was impossible for there to be any high-level illusion formations.
This was just an ordinary place.
They’d been tricked, this thought appeared in everyone’s mind.
Many began to curse.
Feng Xuan directly took Feng Qingya with him and left the cave.
As they left, they suddenly noticed that all the vegetation on the hill where the cave was located had withered away.
“Old Ancestor, what’s wrong?”
Seeing Feng Xuan’s frown, Feng Qingya asked.
“These withered plants seem a bit strange.
Perhaps the matter of the spirit vein isn’t as simple as we can see with our eyes.”
He seemed to be answering but also questioning himself.
Feng Qingya’s eyebrows furrowed again: “According to the ancestor, the spirit vein really exists?”
Feng Xuan shook his head again: “I don’t know, but at least it’s not here now.
Let’s go. Since the Bai family and other high-level forces have arrived, many things should be expedited.
Linjiang City, or rather the Linjiang branch, will surely see a world-shaking battle in the next two days.
If Boy Su and Shen Yifeng can’t hold out, I can’t just stand by and watch.
After all, our Feng family owes them.”
As he spoke, Feng Xuan’s tone revealed a hint of anticipation.
He didn’t know that Bai Yuntian and Bai Ying of the Bai family might become their allies if everything went well.
At that moment, Su Jingzhen also returned to the Linjiang branch without any obstacles.
Here, it was just a collection of buildings without any human presence.
He returned to his own courtyard.
After walking around the courtyard, he suddenly felt bored.
He closed the door and walked over to Shen Yifeng’s courtyard.
“From now on, I’ll follow Master’s instructions.”
Su Jingzhen was ready for a good fight.
Since the world had given him the title of Asura, he had to live up to it.
And after witnessing Bai Suzhen’s fighting prowess in the forest, he became even more fearless.
Under these circumstances, he could act freely. If there was a life-threatening crisis, Bai Suzhen would step in.
Fighting without any worries was something he truly loved.
Su Jingzhen hadn’t even reached Shen Yifeng’s courtyard when he saw Shen Yifeng sitting alone in the central square.
The crimson Killing Sword was stuck in the stone bricks next to him, giving off an aura of ‘stay away’.
“Master, no one has arrived yet. Who are you showing off for?”
Su Jingzhen walked over and couldn’t help but tease him.
Shen Yifeng’s murderous aura paused.
He seemed to find no point in refuting Su Jingzhen’s words.
His sharp gaze swept over Su Jingzhen.
Then, his eyebrows suddenly furrowed.
“I feel that your aura is different.
You didn’t just break through again in such a short time, did you?”
