The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud-Chapter 975: Sixth Stage
Chapter 975: Sixth Stage
Su Jingzhen forcibly suppressed the churning blood energy within his body and once again adjusted his condition to its peak.
The black brick was still in his hand, but this time, the world energy infused into it was far more potent than before.
In the next moment, he activated the Netherworld Ghost Technique without hesitation. As he moved, dozens of afterimages were left in his wake.
Gu Yan was stunned for a moment, but he quickly became serious.
While he excelled in strength, speed was undoubtedly his weakness.
If Su Jingzhen intended to harass him with such speed, he had no effective way to counter it.
The yellowish-brown energy around him condensed into a thick shield.
"A mere fifth-level Venerable Realm cultivator. Even if I stand here and let you hit me, what can you do?"
Gu Yan didn't bother to locate Su Jingzhen's true body.
Instead, he focused on his defense, waiting for Su Jingzhen to attack.
Su Jingzhen sighed inwardly.
This guy might look brawny, but he wasn't simple-minded.
With no other choice, Su Jingzhen decided to use his trump card.
He activated Bloodthirst, and his attributes surged once again.
At the same time, the small "gift" he had left in Gu Yan during their first exchange began to take effect.
An invisible flame erupted from within Gu Yan's body - Su Jingzhen's Flesh and Blood Fire had begun to wreak havoc.
The Deep Sea Netherflame within it directly targeted Gu Yan's soul.
At that moment, Gu Yan let out a bloodcurdling scream.
Having grown up in the Elven Realm with little combat experience, he was completely unprepared for such a sudden attack.
The thick shield around him became unstable as he diverted all his energy to resist the soul-burning flames.
This sudden turn of events caught all the elves off guard.
Even the Immortal King-level elf leader's expression changed drastically.
She immediately recognized the flesh and blood fire as the same high-level flame that had burned the Elven Forest.
In her eyes, this was no trivial matter - it could easily cost Gu Yan his life.
Before the elves could react, Su Jingzhen's true body appeared right in front of Gu Yan.
Already charged with immense power, the black brick was unleashed following the pathways of the Great Desolate Creation Palm.
With Bloodthirst enhancing his strength, the power of this strike was exponentially greater than before.
A dragon-shaped energy wave roared out, shattering what was left of Gu Yan's shield upon impact.
Gu Yan's body was sent flying and crashed into the energy barrier created by the elder elves.
His chest was a bloody mess, and his aura plummeted.
At that moment, Gu Yan was completely incapacitated.
The younger elves were stunned, and Shengana's smile froze on her face.
After the strike, Su Jingzhen immediately withdrew the Flesh and Blood Fire.
He only wanted to make an impact, not kill Gu Yan. ƒrēenovelkiss.com
With the flames withdrawn, Gu Yan's condition stabilized slightly. Although he looked severely injured, he was no longer in mortal danger.
Su Jingzhen then sat down cross-legged.
After using Bloodthirst, he only had about a minute before the backlash would hit.
The excruciating pain, which seemed to intensify with his growing strength, was something he hadn't experienced in a while.
At this moment, the elves finally reacted. The ancient branch above the Elven leader's head shimmered with a green light, and the energy barrier shattered.
The younger elves snapped out of their stupor and quickly surrounded Gu Yan.
After assessing his condition, they were all horrified.
"Is this really something a fifth-tier Body Venerable Realm cultivator can do? Gu Yan... Gu Yan is a peak Spirit Immortal Earth Elf! He was almost killed in a single blow."
"Gu Yan was completely defeated. Although this strike didn't kill him, it completely stripped him of his combat ability.
Even with the healing of our elder wood elves, it'll take him days to recover."
"But this human is truly cunning. Using that invisible flame as a sneak attack, this victory is hardly fair."
"..."
The younger elves began to discuss the battle, most of them shocked by Su Jingzhen's sudden display of power.
However, some of them still refused to accept the outcome, their glances at Su Jingzhen filled with hostility.
The Elf Leader's eyes flickered with a hint of regret.
She walked over to Gu Yan, and the ancient tree branch on her head glowed once more, enveloping Gu Yan in a soft light.
His external injuries began to visibly heal, though it would take time for his weakened aura to recover.
Nevertheless, the Elf Leader felt a surge of excitement. Su Jingzhen had proven himself in this manner, saving her the trouble of convincing the others.
As the Elf Leader tended to Gu Yan, she suddenly sensed an unusual fluctuation behind her. Turning around, she saw Su Jingzhen's face contorted in pain.
"Hmm?"
"It seems that Young Friend Su used some powerful secret technique during his full force attack and is now suffering from the backlash."
The Elf Leader quickly realized Su Jingzhen's condition. Her gaze then shifted to Shengana, the Holy Maiden, who was still in a state of shock.
"Shengana, it's your turn to heal young friend Su," the elf leader instructed.
Hearing this, the younger elves' expressions changed subtly. They could sense the underlying meaning in the Elf Leader's words.
Shengana's face changed slightly, but she dared not disobey. She nodded. "As you command, Elder."
With a wave of her hand, an emerald green staff materialized in Shengana's grasp.
She walked over to Su Jingzhen, her eyes complex as she looked at his pained expression.
However, in the next moment, her aura surged, revealing her cultivation level-she was also a peak Spirit Immortal.
Healing energy flowed from her staff, forming a soft green light that enveloped Su Jingzhen.
The excruciating pain from the backlash of Bloodthirst was instantly relieved under Shengana's healing energy.
In the past, the after-effects of Bloodthirst would have lasted for an hour.
But with Shengana's help, the recovery time was drastically reduced. In just the time it took for an incense stick to burn, Su Jingzhen was fully healed.
Moreover, as his injuries were completely healed, Su Jingzhen felt his body becoming more robust.
It was as if a certain shackle had been broken on his blood energy.
Although the battle was brief, he had given it his all.
Now, he had smoothly broken through to the sixth level of the Body Venerable Realm!
