The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud - Chapter 390.1: The Battle Against the Black Robed Man

The moment the Black Robed Man spoke, Su Jingzhen felt a powerful divine consciousness lock onto him directly.

The invisibility provided by his Phantom Shadow Robe was completely useless against this probing divine sense.

His heart pounded with anxiety.

The blood energy within him surged once more, ready to activate Phantom Step and escape at any moment.

He was now 100% certain that the man before him was the mastermind behind the Five Immortals and the one who had attacked the Dan Hall.

If things were truly dire, he wouldn’t hesitate to flee.

Even if it meant losing everything in the strange land and enduring a month of discomfort, he wouldn’t risk his life for a fight.

“Who are you?” Su Jingzhen asked.

The Black Robed Man chuckled again. “That’s not important. What matters is that you’re going to die.

This place is a good burial ground. With this great demon as your companion and this place’s rich spiritual energy, it wouldn’t be a dishonorable end for the Evil Moon Sect Linjiang Branch Chief Acolyte.”

There was a hint of mockery in the Black Robed Man’s voice when he mentioned Su Jingzhen’s identity.

Su Jingzhen’s brows furrowed again.

He could feel the other’s aura becoming sharper.

The energy emanating from him was unmistakably that of the Nascent Soul stage!

This was the opponent’s cultivation base in the realm of Qi Refinement.

It seemed like he was only at the early stage of Nascent Soul, though.

Of course, this was just Su Jingzhen’s current perception. He wasn’t sure if this was the opponent’s true peak power.

As for the opponent’s Spiritual Cultivation level, it was still somewhat unclear to him.

He couldn’t accurately compare their combat strength at this point.

For a moment, Su Jingzhen was unsure whether to make a decisive retreat or observe the situation further.

But soon, he realized that the Black Robed Man hadn’t made any move after his words.

It seemed like he was just talking.

Su Jingzhen’s gaze narrowed once more.

“Could this guy really be in some kind of special situation?”

As he muttered to himself, his divine consciousness spread out again towards the center of the large pit.

With a quick scan, his heart skipped a beat.

He sensed that the energy within the massive python’s body was continuously flowing towards the Black Robed Man.

Most of the Black Robed Man’s aura was also connected to this python corpse.

Su Jingzhen narrowed his eyes, his aura flaring once more.

He held the jade bottle containing the single drop of North Sea Dragon’s blood in his hand.

The moment he took out the jade bottle, he instantly felt a ripple emanating from the python corpse at the bottom of the pit.

Su Jingzhen felt a powerful call once more.

To be precise, it wasn’t a call to him.

It was a yearning for the drop of North Sea Dragon’s blood in his hand.

The moment the python corpse emitted the ripple, the Black Robed Man’s gaze fixed on Su Jingzhen.

He stared intently at the jade bottle in his hand.

“What is that?

Is it high-grade snake blood, or the blood of a dragon?”

As he spoke, a hint of excitement laced the cloaked man’s voice.

His divine consciousness once again firmly locked onto Su Jingzhen.

“It seems you truly are my lucky star.”

A greedy glint flickered in the cloaked man’s eyes.

Su Jingzhen raised an eyebrow and retracted the jade bottle back into his storage ring.

Even though this guy was acting so excited, he hadn’t launched an attack.

He hadn’t even stood up from his seated position.

This confirmed the guess swirling in Su Jingzhen’s mind.

This guy was in a crucial moment!

He was stuck!

The powerful pressure still lingered within the large pit.

Su Jingzhen didn’t immediately activate the Guanyuan acupoint or consume the North Sea Dragon Blood.

Instead, he simply jumped down.

His current Flesh Body Golden Embryo cultivation was at the sixth layer. He believed the pressure below would affect him, but he should be able to withstand it.

Seeing Su Jingzhen jump down, the cloaked man’s expression changed abruptly.

Su Jingzhen’s action was indeed unexpected.

But he didn’t move at all. Three cloaked figures suddenly appeared where Su Jingzhen had been standing.

They were the Grey Immortal, Fox Immortal, and Yellow Immortal who had been hiding in the mist earlier.

Su Jingzhen only sensed a ripple of divine stone energy emanating from the cloaked man.

The three immortals did not hesitate at all and rushed down as well.

They immediately attacked Su Jingzhen.

“He’s getting agitated just by my movement, it seems he really is at a critical point.”

Su Jingzhen sneered inwardly.

As soon as he jumped into the pit, he immediately felt an even stronger pressure, but everything was just as he expected and he could withstand it with his current physical strength.

Even at the edge of the pit, the impact on him was not that great.

But the three immortals following him were different.

They were demons, but their bloodlines were ordinary.

The bloodline suppression between demons was powerful.

They were naturally suppressed by the corpse of the giant python in the pit.

Their strength was likely only at about half of their potential.

“If you guys want to die, then I will certainly help you do so.”

Su Jingzhen thought that to reach the cloaked man and disrupt what he was doing would be difficult.

It would be better to eliminate his helpers first.

“Since that’s the case, then I shall send the three of you filthy things to hell.”

Su Jingzhe turned around, with a black brick in his hand, and took a step forward.

An afterimage remained where he stood, and in an instant, he was beside the Fox Immortal.

The Fox Immortal instantly transformed into its true form, a white fox.

A pink light flashed in its eyes, and it used a soul-seducing technique to hit Su Jingzhen again.

The alluring thoughts that had flickered in his mind earlier resurfaced.

“Clear mind like water, water is the mind, no wind stirs, no waves rise…”

However, the moment Su Jingzhen chose this creature as his first target, he had silently begun reciting the Clear Heart Sutra.

The soul-seducing technique had no effect on him.

At a distance of one zhang from the Fox Immortal, the blood energy within the Black Brick surged outward.

The dragon-shaped blood energy instantly slammed into the Fox Immortal.

The blood energy carried the dragon might of the North Sea Dragon, combined with the pressure from the python corpse in the pit. Even though the Fox Immortal was fast, it couldn’t dodge.

One brick, one headshot!

On the other side, the Grey Immortal and Yellow Immortal had already revealed their true forms.

They were a one-meter-tall rat and a yellow weasel.

Fear flashed in their small eyes.

But under the control of the cloaked man, they charged towards Su Jingzhen, knowing they were doomed but unable to resist.

A shrill cry erupted from the Grey Immortal, and another sonic attack swept towards Su Jingzhen.

Su Jingzhen’s Phantom Shadow Robe’s defense reached its peak.

He endured the sonic attack.

With another step, an afterimage appeared, and his figure was already above the Grey Immortal’s head.

Su Jingzhen’s face paled slightly. Even with the Phantom Shadow Robe’s protection, he had taken some damage.

After all, he had no experience dealing with sonic attacks.

Fortunately, this rat wasn’t particularly high-level.

It was roughly equivalent to a Golden Core fourth-stage cultivator.

Su Jingzhen could still overwhelm it.

As he got into position, he swung the Black Brick.

Just as expected, another headshot.

In just a few breaths, Su Jingzhen had killed two immortals.

The last Yellow Immortal trembled, but instantly turned its rear towards Su Jingzhen.

A gust of yellow mist erupted from its rear end.

It itself hid within that yellow mist.

Su Jingzhen clearly saw that the moment the yellow mist appeared, the air in the void began to crackle and sizzle.

As if being corroded.

The yellow mist quickly surged towards Su Jingzhen.

He knew that this thing’s corrosive power and toxicity were probably quite formidable.

He didn’t hesitate, directly pulling out a super-quality Breaking Through Adversity Pill from his storage ring and swallowing it.

A super-quality Breaking Through Adversity Pill had the effect of detoxification.

But he was still not at ease, so he took out a Rebirth Pill and swallowed it as well.

Then, without fear, he charged into the yellow mist.

The yellow weasel’s bloodline was after all low-level, and its cultivation should be about the same as the big rat.

As long as Su Jingzhen got close, he could still crush it.

Feeling that Su Jingzhen had already rushed in, the yellow weasel squeaked and, ignoring the black-robed man’s divine consciousness command, fled towards the mist outside the pit.

It sensed the threat of death.

But Su Jingzhen had gone all out this time, how could he let it escape so easily?

In terms of speed, Su Jingzhen was invincible at this moment.

With another step, he caught up to the yellow weasel, the latter instinctively bared its claws and swiped at Su Jingzhen.

What greeted it was still a solid brick.

The moment they came into contact, the yellow weasel let out a scream, its claw snapping directly.

This kind of violent crushing gave Su Jingzhen a great sense of satisfaction.

He even became a little addicted to this feeling and chased after it again.

A brick landed squarely on the yellow weasel’s head.

Thus, all five immortals fell.

Seeing this scene, the expression of the black-robed man who was still sitting cross-legged at the mouth of the python’s corpse instantly darkened.

He could naturally sense the fall of Willow Immortal and White Immortal earlier.

But those two had at least held Su Jingzhen back for some time, and now Su Jingzhen was killing the other three immortals here, all of them instantly.

This was truly terrifying.

He knew that his judgment of Su Jingzhen’s strength had once again been somewhat off.

This was a complete waste of three useful subordinates, yet they had not achieved their intended purpose.

“As expected, the body cultivators are still so brutal and too violent.”

The black-robed man muttered to himself.

His gaze fell once again on the mouth of the python in front of him.

Su Jingzhen remained seated, ignoring the three fallen immortal corpses.

His gaze shifted back to the robed figure in the center of the pit.

He attempted to take a step towards them, but with each step, the pressure intensified.

“Although your strength has indeed exceeded my expectations,

you won’t be able to reach here with just your Flesh Body Golden Embryo cultivation.

I know you desperately want to disrupt what I’m doing now and kill me directly.

Unfortunately, your current strength still falls short of achieving that.”

The robed figure’s voice dripped with a hint of mockery.

He continued, “My current state isn’t ideal for confronting you, but that’s only because I’m unwilling to abandon what I’ve gained. It doesn’t mean I can’t attack you.

If I were you, I would seize this opportunity and retreat while you still have this strength.

That way, you might be able to live a few more days in this world.

Otherwise, this pit would indeed be a rather fitting burial ground.”

Hearing this, a sneer curled up at the corner of Su Jingzhen’s mouth.

But his heart grew heavier with each passing moment.

The more the other party spoke like this, the more it confirmed that he was at a crucial juncture, perhaps close to achieving his heart’s desire.

Su Jingzhen had a premonition that when that time came, he might have no chance at all.

He didn’t offer any response, continuing to push forward against the immense pressure at the bottom of the pit.
