Chapter 835: Suzhen Awakens
Chapter 835: Suzhen Awakens
“They’re in the valley. Let’s surround it and wait here,”
Zhen Bufan said, his voice filled with confidence as he sensed Su Jingzhen and the others’ presence within the valley.
A gleam of excitement flashed in his eyes. He glanced at the gathered crowd, his gaze unwavering with self-assurance.
By the time they reached the valley, their numbers had increased.
There were now six individuals who had reached the late stage of the Celestial Being Realm, including Zhen Bufan.
In total, there were over fifteen at the Celestial Being Realm’s early to mid-stages. Most of them were in the Tribulation Realm.
With such a force, Zhen Bufan couldn’t imagine how Jian Ling, Qiu Yaoyao, and the others could possibly stand against them.
The sheer weight of numbers would likely overwhelm Su Jingzhen and the others, drowning them without resistance.
“If you all die here today, then the Luo River region and my Dongxuan Academy may not even need to compete with the Heavenly Dragon Race for supremacy,” Zhen Bufan muttered, raising the stakes to a sect-level conflict.
However, he wasn’t in a hurry. Instead, he wanted to imagine the expression on Su Jingzhen and the others’ faces when they saw the overwhelming force waiting outside.
At this moment, Su Jingzhen and his group had comprehended the full scope of the birth and evolution of the God Source Beasts.
Their hearts were still shaken by the magnitude of it all.
“I noticed strange fluctuations from above the God Source Secret Realm earlier. I wonder what’s going on… it seems like external forces have started intervening,” Jian Ling said, her brow furrowing as she gazed at the summit of the valley.
Then she looked over at Xuening, curiosity bubbling inside her.
Jian Ling could tell that Xuening was somehow at the center of everything that was unfolding.
With Xuening’s cultivation, it was clear that this chaos had been stirred up by her.
At that moment, Xuening’s expression was full of confusion, although there was occasionally a flash of clarity in her eyes.
“Since the ultimate destination of those giant beasts is the starry space we entered earlier, let’s go back and check.
Maybe they’ve already arrived. I wonder what will happen if the beasts gather in that space,” Su Jingzhen suggested, walking over and gently taking Xuening’s hand.
The others had no objections.
They weren’t interested in the God Source here anymore.
However, as they exited the valley, an overwhelming aura suddenly locked onto them.
Su Jingzhen, Jian Ling, and the others furrowed their brows as they immediately recognized the hostile atmosphere surrounding them.
Unconsciously, a murderous intent rose within them.
The first thing they saw was Zhen Bufan standing at the front of the gathered crowd.
It didn’t take them long to figure out what was going on.
“If we don’t kill this guy now, it looks like the specter of the Four Waters Martial Arts Competition will never be laid to rest,” Qiu Yaoyao muttered under her breath.
Meanwhile, Zhen Bufan sneered. “Hahaha, Qiu Yaoyao, Su Jingzhen, you didn’t expect to see me again, did you?”
His eyes were filled with hatred as he continued, “Everyone, the deal I made earlier still stands.
If we capture all five of them, we will divide their God Sources and the seals on their heads equally among us.
No need for more words – kill them!”
At Zhen Bufan’s command, the group’s murderous intent erupted, and the atmosphere became tense.
The battle formation that had been prepared earlier quickly came into play, with dozens of people forming teams and summoning the shadows of giant beasts and titans into the air.
It was clear that Zhen Bufan had prepared for this moment well in advance, and the smooth execution of his battle strategy showed that he was no stranger to such operations.
Each battle formation unleashed an aura comparable to that of the Celestial Being Realm.
Zhen Bufan had already realized from the previous battles that Su Jingzhen was especially good at group combat.
The cultivators of the Unity Realm and Tribulation Realm were of little use in this situation.
So, he decided not to give Su Jingzhen the chance for a group battle.
Everyone would be at the Celestial Being Realm, and he wanted to see how Su Jingzhen would respond.
Dozens of battle formations, along with 15 early to mid-stage Celestial Being Realm cultivators and 6 late-stage Celestial Being Realm cultivators, made for an extremely luxurious lineup.
Under normal circumstances, even the team led by Jian Ling, Xuan Jin, Han Qianxue, and the others wouldn’t be able to stand up to so many people.
At this moment, Jian Ling and the others also grew solemn.
Although Jian Ling had reached the Great Perfection Realm, she knew that if the enemy truly fought with all their might, the 6 late-stage Celestial Being Realm cultivators were enough to keep her occupied.
The rest, including the numerous Celestial Being Realm battle formations, were too much for Qiu Yaoyao and the others to handle.
“Come to me when the time comes. I’ll take you all away. They won’t be able to stop us.”
Seeing the enemy formation, Jian Ling immediately felt the urge to retreat.
She didn’t want to waste time dealing with this group of ants right now.
In her view, as long as the events of the Divine Source Secret Realm were completely understood, Zhen Bufan and his group could not remain united for long.
Once they were broken up, none of them would be able to escape.
After Jian Ling spoke, Qiu Yaoyao and Xuening Yan Xia also nodded silently.
Clearly, they understood that fighting to the bitter end wasn’t the right thing to do.
What was more important was to find out the situation on the cliff.
Only Su Jingzhen’s eyes showed a hint of reluctance.
Zhen Bufan had already caused trouble multiple times, and he was now on Su Jingzhen’s death list.
After carefully considering the strength of both sides, Su Jingzhen couldn’t help but sigh.
No matter how confident he was, he knew that they were no match for the enemy right now.
Unless he added some extra power himself.
He nodded in agreement with Jian Ling’s suggestion.
The immediate priority was the cliff, not these enemies.
But just as they were about to retreat, a wave of energy suddenly erupted from the Boundless Spirit Beast pouch hanging from Su Jingzhen’s waist.
“Are you afraid of just this little bit of people?
This doesn’t quite seem like the you I know.”
The voice was lazy, with a hint of mockery.
As soon as the voice sounded, a deep excitement appeared on Su Jingzhen’s face.
It wasn’t anyone else; it was Bai Suzhen!
To his surprise, at this critical moment, Bai Suzhen had awakened.
Su Jingzhen’s divine consciousness immediately swept towards the Boundless Spirit Beast Bag.
Inside, Bai Suzhen, still in her white serpent form, coiled in a lake inside the Boundless Spirit Beast Bag.
She appeared to have returned to her peak state.
Seeing this, a sneer appeared on Su Jingzhen’s lips.
Looking at Zhen Bufan and the others, his murderous intent surged once more.
