The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud-Chapter 955: Accepting Defeat

Chapter 955: Accepting Defeat

"It seems like this battle is coming to an end.

Although Su Jingzhen is indeed quite capable, facing Lin Xiu, who is two major realms above him, he ultimately has no chance of turning the tide.

If those hundreds of giant swords unleash their full force, he won't be able to withstand it."

From afar, Elder Zhou Daoqi and the other elders breathed a sigh of relief.

These disciples were all their own, and if they were all suppressed by a junior in the Body Venerable Realm, they would naturally lose face.

Although these guys are all convinced of Li Lingxi now, some competition between the elders and the sect leader will naturally still exist.

Healthy competition was an important trait for a sect to keep improving.

Seeing this, Li Lingxi's eyebrows also furrowed.

Earlier, Lin Xiu's single energy sword had already put Su Jingzhen at a disadvantage.

Now that Lin Xiu was going all out, the might of his attack was comparable to that of a late Spirit Immortal.

In Li Lingxi's view, Su Jingzhen would have a tough time defending against it.

If Su Jingzhen were suppressed by Lin Xiu now, it would be difficult for her to insist on making Su Jingzhen the leader of the Divine Dan Sect for the Divine Shepherd Realm event.

After all, although they were a sect focused on alchemy, they still couldn't escape the principle of strength ruling all.

"The battle is not over yet. Elder Zhou, it might be a bit premature to make such a judgment,"

Li Lingxi said, still trying to hold on to hope despite knowing that the odds were against Su Jingzhen.

The elders, including Zhou Daoqi, exchanged glances and smiled, not arguing with Li Lingxi on this point.

However, the next moment, their expressions suddenly froze.

Lin Xiu's face suddenly changed, and the hundreds of energy swords around him all dissipated in an instant.

Then, it seemed as if Lin Xiu was suffering from immense pain.

He no longer cared about attacking Su Jingzhen and immediately sat down as if he was desperately resisting something.

This sudden turn of events left the dozens of young disciples of the Divine Dan Sect and the distant onlookers, including Li Lingxi, stunned.

"This... this is the characteristic of the Deep Sea Netherflame!"

"When did Lin Xiu fall victim to Su Jingzhen's tricks?"

The elders, being high-level cultivators, quickly realized the situation after a brief moment of confusion.

They were all astonished-Su Jingzhen had truly defeated someone two major realms above him.

And judging by Lin Xiu's condition, it could even have been fatal if Su Jingzhen had decided to act.

"This is the Heavenly Flame that even we couldn't subdue. After hundreds of them were fused together, they possess such power!"

The elders couldn't help but marvel, even though they were envious deep inside.

With just this fused flame, Su Jingzhen could suppress a mid-level spirit immortal.

If they could control it as Immortal Lords, wouldn't they be able to fight an Immortal King?

...

As various thoughts and emotions swirled among the onlookers, Su Jingzhen's lips curled into a faint smile.

During the first exchange, he had already stealthily infused the poison of the Pink Poisonous Woman and the seed of the Flesh and Blood Flame into Lin Xiu.

Although the latter has reached the middle stage of Spirit Immortal, he was still a genius from the Divine Dan Sect, a faction focused on alchemy. His martial arts experience was far less than Su Jingzhen's.

He was far too inexperienced in the cunning tactics of the outside world.

It was understandable that he had fallen for Su Jingzhen's trap so easily.

Seeing Lin Xiu's reaction, Su Jingzhen's excitement grew even more.

This had fully validated his own hypothesis.

The Flesh and Blood Flame, when used unexpectedly, could indeed easily suppress a spirit immortal.

This was enough.

Seeing Lin Xiu's body start to smoke and his expression of pain intensify, Su Jingzhen formed a hand seal and an invisible flame surged in his palm.

With a casual wave, the flames surrounding Lin Xiu instantly dissipated.

Lin Xiu's pain lessened significantly, but he still didn't dare to be careless. After all, the Pink Poisonous Woman's toxin was still circulating in his body.

He needed to use his Spirit Immortal abilities to suppress and eliminate it.

However, while he was focusing on suppressing the Pink Poisonous Woman's toxin, the chessboard hovering above his head was forcibly seized by Su Jingzhen using immense power.

Su Jingzhen had found the artifact intriguing earlier, and now it naturally belonged to him as a trophy.

After about a stick of incense's time, Lin Xiu finally recovered.

His face was still pale, and his aura was somewhat weak, as if he had just recovered from a serious illness.

When he looked at Su Jingzhen again, it was as if he was looking at a monster, and his heart was still trembling with fear.

His expression was extremely complex, and in the end, he sighed and bowed to Su Jingzhen.

"Thank you for your mercy. I admit defeat."

These words seemed to drain all of his strength.

Then, he turned to look at his fellow disciples behind him.

"I have already lost. Anyone else who steps forward will likely face the same outcome. As I said before, this time we'll accept our defeat and follow the sect's arrangements."

Lin Xiu tried to persuade them, but many of these young people still hadn't fully processed what had happened.

For some of them, the previous scene was completely incomprehensible.

They couldn't understand what had happened, how Lin Xiu, who was so powerful, had suddenly lost.

Even when they heard Lin Xiu's words, they felt that it was unreal.

Many of them still held a grudge against Su Jingzhen, and some other Spirit Immortal level disciples instinctively stepped forward.

Lin Xiu shook his head with a bitter smile, not saying anything more.

He knew that his words might not be enough to make these people take Su Jingzhen seriously.

Only by experiencing it for themselves would they truly submit.

"I am Liu Chuan, a disciple of the Second Elder in the early Spirit Immortal Realm. Please enlighten me!"

This man named Liu Chuan had a stocky build, a full beard, and a fierce appearance.

His expression was serious and defiant as he looked at Su Jingzhen.

Lin Xiu's defeat had been too strange, and Liu Chuan was not willing to just submit to Su Jingzhen.

"Maybe Senior Brother Lin's cultivation has regressed? That makes sense - we haven't heard of any remarkable achievements from him lately.

Senior Brother Liu will definitely take revenge on us!"

"Senior Brother Lin has indeed been disappointing. With Senior Brother Liu stepping up, we'll definitely avenge ourselves!"

"..."

Now, the others also reacted and looked at Liu Chuan with great expectations.

Su Jingzhen was not surprised by this development.

Although Lin Xiu seemed to be the leader among them, there were still a few others at the same level.

Without defeating them one by one, he wouldn't be able to resolve this matter so easily.

"If anyone still doesn't accept it, you can all come at once."

Having already confirmed the extent of his combat strength with the Flesh and Blood Flame, Su Jingzhen had no fear of these individuals.

Liu Chuan nodded and didn't hesitate. Suddenly, a black spear materialized in his hand.

With one step, he launched a powerful move called "Emerald Dragon Emerges", aiming directly at Su Jingzhen's face.
