Chapter 954: Battle against Lin Xiu
Chapter 954: Battle against Lin Xiu
As he spoke, Lin Xiu unleashed his mid Spirit Immortal realm aura.
His cultivation was two major realms higher than Su Jingzhen's, and as a Spirit Immortal, he had already transcended and ascended, elevating his life essence to a different level.
Under normal circumstances, a Spirit Immortal could suppress anyone below the Spirit Immortal realm.
However, Lin Xiu didn't feel any discomfort or shame at the possibility of overpowering Su Jingzhen.
He wouldn't hold back or show mercy just because of the difference in their strength.
After all, Su Jingzhen had already demonstrated his capabilities.
Besides, their group had come with the determination to win.
Yang Juntian and Chen Tianxiao had already failed and been completely crushed by Su Jingzhen, which were two major setbacks.
Due to these mistakes, even if Lin Xiu managed to defeat Su Jingzhen now, the result would be far from what they had originally intended.
At the very least, the effect would be greatly reduced.
Therefore, Lin Xiu was willing to go all out and use the fastest and cruelest method to defeat Su Jingzhen.
In fact, all the young disciples present were well aware that their elders must have known about their confrontation with Su Jingzhen.
The elders were probably watching from the shadows.
If they performed poorly, their own masters would lose face in front of the sect master.
This time, their goal was to free themselves from Su Jingzhen's leadership and force him to surrender all the flames he had obtained from the Flame Secret Realm.
If they were all defeated by Su Jingzhen, Zhou Daoqi and the others would have no reason to achieve these two goals.
Su Jingzhen's expression turned serious.
Before this, he hadn't even faced a Great Perfection Realm cultivator, let alone a Spirit Immortal.
Any Spirit Immortal could easily suppress him.
But now, he wanted to test himself and had a strong sense of confidence!
Su Jingzhen could tell that this man in front of him was probably the strongest in the group.
If he could defeat him, the rest of the young disciples might have their Dao hearts on the verge of collapse.
In the future, these people might have to avoid him altogether.
"Even though the gap between us is huge, I am not afraid. Come at me!"
As he spoke, the power of his Stage Five Body Venerable Realm, surged within him.
A resounding dragon's roar echoed from within his body as he pushed his dragon bloodline to its limit.
The images of a dragon, a phoenix, and a turtle appeared on his body.
At this moment, his defense was at its maximum.
Previously, he had only speculated that his combat strength should be enough to fight a Spirit Immortal.
But he hadn't actually tested it yet.
Therefore, at this moment, no amount of caution was too much.
Of course, his actions also earned him a round of disdain from the dozens of young disciples.
"I thought he was so strong, but it seems that when facing a Spirit Immortal, he's already backing down before the battle even begins."
"Although his performance against Senior Brother Chen and Senior Brother Yang was indeed shocking, it is still far-fetched to think that he could dominate like this among the younger generation of the Divine Dan Sect.
To cross a major realm and win is already unexpected. If he could defeat Senior Brother Lin by crossing two major realms, then we would be in trouble."
"I'm really looking forward to seeing him beg for mercy later.
But I really envy Senior Brother Lin. This time, the Luminous Crimson Gold Flame will be his."
"..."
The disciples behind them muttered to themselves, their expression was already one of relief.
In the next moment, Lin Xiu didn't hesitate. He formed a hand seal, and the space in front of him suddenly twisted.
A massive energy sword materialized in front of him.
It was imbued with an intense sword intent and shot at Su Jingzhen without hesitation.
This was just a simple spirit sword technique.
But when it was wielded by Lin Xiu, a mid Spirit Immortal Realm cultivator, it became far from ordinary.
The unique Spirit Immortal laws it carried were a dimensional reduction for anyone below the Spirit Immortal Realm, including Great Perfection Realm cultivators and Celestial Being Realm cultivators.
This was why the immortals could stand above everyone else.
The difference in power and life essence made it impossible for them to compete on equal terms.
Su Jingzhen's expression was grave, but his eyes grew even more excited.
The technique of the Great Desolate Creation Palm activated once again.
His power infused into the black brick, and at the same time, the World Origin Energy of the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss surged forth.
Apart from the Flesh and Blood Flame and the original toxin of the Pink Poison, Su Jingzhen had used all of his strength in this brick strike.
Of course, the power of Bloodthirst was not used.
This brick strike unleashed a dragon-shaped energy.
Su Jingzhen was confident and eager to see its might.
In the next instant, under the eyes of everyone, the two attacks collided without any surprises.
A tremendous roar echoed through the air.
In the next instant, Su Jingzhen's dragon-shaped energy was directly sliced by the incoming energy sword.
It seemed to be emitting a mournful dragon's roar.
In terms of sheer power, even with Su Jingzhen's full force, it seemed like he still couldn't match Lin Xiu's might.
The Mid Spirit Immortal Realm was simply too powerful compared to Su Jingzhen's Stage Five Body Venerable Realm.
The backlash from the attack immediately rushed towards Su Jingzhen.
He was forced to take a dozen steps back, and his blood energy churned within him.
However, Su Jingzhen wasn't discouraged. His eyes were fixed on the energy sword in front of Lin Xiu.
After dispersing his brick strike, the energy sword had already collapsed and couldn't continue attacking him.
Even though he had been at a disadvantage in this exchange, he had successfully tested his strength and confirmed that he could indeed rival an ordinary spirit immortal.
In this sense, the outcome of this battle was still uncertain.
"No wonder Spirit Immortals are so powerful. Truly formidable.
But to think that you can defeat me with just this, that is wishful thinking."
Su Jingzhen wiped the blood that had leaked from the corner of his mouth and charged forward again, holding the black brick in his hand.
With a step of the Netherworld Ghost Technique, nine afterimages appeared where he had stood.
Lin Xiu had originally thought that after this exchange, Su Jingzhen would realize the gap between them and concede defeat.
He had not expected that his attack had not dampened Su Jingzhen's fighting spirit; instead, it had made him even more courageous.
"If that's the case, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Lin Xiu muttered to himself. Instantly, a chess board appeared above his head.
Chess pieces flashed on it, and black and white lights fell around him, forming a protective barrier.
At this moment, he couldn't locate Su Jingzhen's true body and was afraid of being caught off guard.
Thus, he needed to strengthen his defense.
At the same time, hundreds of energy swords like the one before materialized around him.
The sword intent on these swords seemed even stronger than before, by more than just a notch!
Clearly, he was truly going all out this time!
Su Jingzhen himself knew that if hundreds of energy swords were aimed at him simultaneously, he wouldn't be able to withstand them.
But back in the first round, he had already planted a seed.
"After seeing the extent of my current combat power, how could I let you unleash this attack?
This chessboard is quite good; I'll take it."
Su Jingzhen chuckled slightly. In the next instant, Lin Xiu felt his own power slipping out of control.
Then, a blazing flame erupted from his soul!
