Chapter 698: Surrounded
Bai Suzhen let out a clear cry, and the blade she called Divine Punishment was already closing in on the mysterious black-robed figure.
A trace of seriousness finally appeared on his face.
Although he was extremely confident, Bai Suzhen clearly had no intention of playing around from the beginning.
She went all out right away.
He could sense a significant threat in this attack.
“Xuanwu!”
The black-robed figure immediately formed a seal with his hands and shouted.
A massive Xuanwu phantom appeared in front of him, enveloping him.
It exuded an incomparable sense of weight, clearly a formidable defensive ability.
The surging demon spiritual energy from the Xuanwu made all the onlookers feel as if a real Xuanwu had descended.
“Roar!”
As Bai Suzhen’s Divine Punishment Blade descended, the Xuanwu let out a roar from its massive mouth!
Waves of earth and water elemental sound waves spread out, almost shattering the mighty Divine Punishment Blade.
Then, black ice seemed to form on the Xuanwu’s back, completely maximizing its defense.
“Boom… Boom…”
In the next instant, a violent energy explosion resounded.
At the center of the explosion between the Divine Punishment Blade and the Xuanwu Phantom, a blinding light shone brightly.
Su Jingzhen and the others couldn’t see what was happening inside.
However, the intense energy fluctuations swept outward, affecting a radius of twenty miles.
“Not good! Retreat quickly!
This energy surge is too strong, we can’t withstand it!”
“It’s too late, we have to work together!”
“…”
The countless onlookers finally panicked.
Numerous Unity Realm cultivators stood in a group, with Soul Formation and Divine Intent Realm cultivators standing behind them.
Countless auras rose, and the chaotic energies from various sects and clans began to surge, forming shields that were not particularly thick.
The chaotic energy waves, mixed with some decomposition light, collided directly with the shields erected by the crowd.
In the blink of an eye, the shields were breached, sending people tumbling and falling.
Many unfortunate Divine Intent Realm and Soul Formation Stage cultivators who had come to watch the spectacle were immediately reduced to dust by the first impact.
In just the first wave of the attack, over a hundred unfortunate souls had already perished, and they were permanently lost in the Clear Light Ridge.
Those who survived were mostly in a state of severe injury, spitting blood, and hastily retreated nearly fifty miles away.
Of course, all of them were accomplished cultivators. Even from such a distance, they could still clearly see the situation with Bai Suzhen and the others.
“My goodness, it was close. If it had been a little stronger, we wouldn’t have been able to block it. This kind of spectacle is really not for us to watch.”
“Who could argue with that? But the white python and that mysterious person seem to be on equal footing. If they continue to fight like this, there’s a real possibility that one will die and the other will be injured.”
“Everyone, focus on recovering quickly. If it really comes to that, we might still have a chance. If one of them survives, we can join forces to kill the survivor, and then divide the treasures according to our own abilities and luck.”
These Unity Realm cultivators were indeed quite bold and reckless.
The suggestion was immediately unanimously approved.
After that, all the injured cultivators of the Unity and Divine Intent realms within a radius of fifty miles sat down to meditate and recuperate.
Without hesitation, they stuffed healing pills into their mouths that they normally wouldn’t use.
On the other side, Yan Xia had already taken out the Purple and Gold Longevity Pagoda again.
She enlarged it dozens of times, making it as big as a mountain, and blocked it in front of the two of them.
When the purple and gold light shone, the energy waves from the battle between Bai Suzhen and the mysterious black-robed person hit the pagoda without causing any damage.
However, the dense forests where the two were hiding were instantly erased, revealing their figures.
Many people who were not injured saw them instantly.
“This is… Su Jingzhen and Yan Xia of the Yan Clan!
How did they end up together?”
Of course, the cultivators in Clear Light Ridge did not know what had happened at Enlightenment Cliff.
After all, the two places were quite far apart, and information did not spread that quickly.
“Seeing Su Jingzhen, I suddenly remembered something.
Does anyone remember the Heavenly Dragon Race’s Heavenly Dragon Gathering a few days ago? Su Jingzhen suppressed an entire generation.
Using his own strength, he ended the Heavenly Dragon Gathering in just one day.”
“That’s right. I was in Heavenly Dragon City at that time and saw it with my own eyes.
This guy can be considered one of the rising stars of the Heavenly Dragon Race, even though he was eventually suppressed by Yan Xia of the Yan Clan, right?”
“Seeing them working together seems rather strange, considering that these two are supposed to be enemies.”
“Not quite. The reason I brought him up isn’t to talk about how invincible he is, but because during the Heavenly Dragon Conference, he had used his contract beast – a white python!”
“Even though that white python wasn’t very big back then, it looked exactly like the one we just saw.”
“Hisss…”
As soon as these words were uttered, the expressions of the surrounding cultivators from various factions suddenly changed.
They couldn’t help but remember the overwhelming presence and size of Bai Suzhen they had just witnessed.
It really was the same as the one Su Jingzhen had released earlier.
All of them were cultivators with significant cultivation levels, so it was impossible for them to forget such a recent event.
“The White Python appeared, and Su Jingzhen happened to be here. It seems quite normal if there is a connection between the two.”
“Are you kidding me? If that’s the case, who in the Divine Kingdom could possibly be Su Jingzhen’s match this time?”
“But that doesn’t make sense either. The authority of the Divine Kingdom is clearly below that of the Tribulation Realm.
According to what that mysterious black-robed person mentioned earlier, that white python has already reached the terrifying tenth level, which is equivalent to the Great Perfection Realm.
How did it get in here?”
“…”
While this discussion was going on, many Unity Realm cultivators who weren’t seriously injured quietly approached Su Jingzhen and Yan Xia.
Their auras surged and locked onto the two of them directly.
Cultivators spend their lives defying the heavens, so it’s not uncommon for some of them to be extremely bold.
Although Bai Suzhen and the black-robed person hadn’t decided on a winner yet, if they could get a head start by controlling Su Jingzhen and Yan Xia first, it would certainly make things easier later on.
“Damn, if it’s a good thing, we should all share it. If something goes wrong, we can all share the pressure.”
“…”
With someone taking the lead, there was no shortage of followers.
Soon, Su Jingzhen and Yan Xia were surrounded by 45 Unity Realm cultivators.
None of them were in a hurry to make a move.
Their auras locked onto the two of them, but their gaze remained fixed on the distant battlefield where Bai Suzhen and the black-robed person were still fighting.
