The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud - Chapter 378: Bad Situation

After crushing that sword energy, Su Jingzhen didn’t stop his momentum.

He directly charged towards the Golden Core cultivator who had launched the sword energy, about five steps away.

His Surging Spring acupoint suddenly erupted, unleashing a formidable force of blood energy through the circulation pattern of the Netherworld Ghost Technique.

Although he still hadn’t stepped into the Phantom Step state, he had already reached the cultivator’s side by the time the latter could react.

“Die for me!”

As he approached within a meter, Su Jingzhen didn’t hesitate. He fiercely swung the black brick towards the cultivator’s head.

Once again, the powerful blood energy transformed into a dragon-like form, crashing forward.

Caught off guard, the unfamiliar Golden Core cultivator couldn’t react in time.

In his opinion, this time with so many of them ambushing Su Jingzhen who was practicing the body-refining method, it should be easy to capture him, but at least there should be no setbacks at all.

However, Su Jingzhen’s actions since his arrival had been unpredictable, disrupting their plans.

As he felt the power contained within the illusory dragon, fear arose in his hearts.

In that moment of terror, his body stiffened.

By the time he wanted to dodge or defend, it was already too late.

The brick grew larger in his line of sight.

A dull thud echoed as the brick collided with his head.

For him, there was no afterward…

His head burst like a watermelon. Su Jingzhen silently confessed his sins in his heart.

He then glanced around.

After directly killing someone to establish his might, Su Jingzhen realized he was in a small valley.

If he wasn’t mistaken, this should be on Clear Wind Mountain.

After all, the rudimentary spatial tunnel he had taken earlier couldn’t have transported him very far, even if it were the legendary five ghosts moving mountains technique.

Currently, there were eight people in the valley.

Their auras seemed to be only at the Golden Core stage, with one appearing to be at the late Foundation Establishment stage.

Su Jingzhen curled his lips into a cold smile.

Seven Golden Core cultivators and one late Foundation Establishment cultivator—even if he couldn’t kill them all, he had no reason to let any of them leave.

At this moment, his divine consciousness quietly spread out once more.

Scanning the valley for any threats.

If this group was truly all there was, Su Jingzhen felt a surge of excitement.

After all, he had once single-handedly defeated six Golden Core cultivators from the Free and Unfettered Sect in the mysterious space of the Spiritual Medicine Sect.

This time, it should be possible too.

Su Jingzhen had already discerned that these people were from various factions.

Their coordination couldn’t possibly match that of the Free and Unfettered Sect from back then.

As Su Jingzhen scrutinized the crowd, the expressions of the people changed noticeably.

Initially, Su Jingzhen’s sudden and direct attack had left these individuals in awe.

Now, as they looked at Su Jingzhen, their gazes were uncertain.

“Wasn’t it said that Su Jingzhen only excels in refining pills, and his combat prowess is that of a low-level Body Cultivator?

When did Body Cultivators become so powerful?”

“This doesn’t seem to align with the rumors.”

“…”

Those Golden Core cultivators who knew each other whispered among themselves.

Some even unconsciously took a step back.

Most of the Golden Core cultivators present were aware of their limitations.

Even at their full power, none of them could instantaneously kill another Golden Core cultivator.

In this very moment, everyone realized that Su Jingzhen was stronger in combat than any of them.

“Don’t panic, Friend Wang was only careless for a moment and was caught off guard by Su Jingzhen’s surprise attack.

We still have eight people here!

Let’s be cautious and not give him another chance to attack.

Can’t we take him down together?”

“Yes, even if the information was wrong, it won’t make much difference in the end.

As long as we kill him here, wealth and glory await us.”

“…”

At this point, there was no turning back for those in the valley.

But after hearing these people’s conversation, Su Jingzhen frowned again.

“So, they are hired killers?

But to hire such a motley crew, that’s just looking down on me.”

Su Jingzhen mused to himself.

At this time, he could confirm that the person who had used the Five Ghosts Move Mountain technique to bring him here was unlikely to be one of the people in this valley.

Thinking of this, his heart grew heavier.

If that were true, even if he managed to kill all eight of them today, the crisis would not truly be resolved.

The visibility here in the valley wasn’t good, and he doesn’t even know his exact location at Clear Wind Mountain.

He needed to determine his position to formulate an escape plan.

“Was the method you used to bring me here really the legendary Five Ghosts Move Mountain technique?”

At this moment, the blood and energy in Su Jingzhen’s body surged.

He still kept his defenses up, holding the black brick in his hand.

But he couldn’t suppress his curiosity any longer.

Hearing his question, an elder radiating late-stage Golden Core energy sneered, “You do have some discernment, to notice that this is the Five Ghosts Move Mountain technique.

Today, since you’ve made it here, your fate is sealed.

Surrender now, and perhaps we’ll make your end quick.”

“You’re right; you have no chance of leaving here alive today.

There’s no need to waste everyone’s time.”

“…”

As they spoke to Su Jingzhen, their energy had completely locked onto him.

As soon as the words left their mouths, Su Jingzhen nodded slightly.

He was increasingly certain that the enemy hiding in the shadows was far more than just these few Golden Core cultivators.

As he thought this, Su Jingzhen’s aura grew even more fierce.

He looked at the eight people before him, and a murderous intent filled his being.

“You are not qualified to kill me?

At least I can take some of you with me when I die.”

At that moment, Su Jingzhen roared.

He took a step forward and charged at the eight people with the brick.

His demeanor was fearless, as if he had nothing to lose.

Seeing Su Jingzhen like this, the eight people’s expressions changed.

Unconsciously, they remembered the man whose head Su Jingzhen had smashed with a brick earlier.

At this moment, they had no doubt that Su Jingzhen could kill half of them.

In this situation, no one wanted to be dragged down by Su Jingzhen.

All eight of them, including the Foundation Establishment late-stage cultivator, instinctively retreated.

However, at this moment, Su Jingzhen’s mouth curled up in a mocking smile.

He looked towards the top of the valley.

Suddenly, a long sword appeared under his feet.

He wielded the weapon and charged towards the top of the valley.

Once he realized that the true enemy hiding in the shadows was not these Golden Core cultivators, Su Jingzhen no longer wanted to confront them directly.

In a clear situation, he didn’t mind causing some carnage.

But before understanding his surroundings, he always prioritized survival.

Living meant having everything.

Dying meant that everything was lost…
