The other party's speed was getting faster and faster, like Mount Tai pressing over. An obviously thick fist began to accumulate power, and the golden light on it became thicker and thicker.
Feeling this vigorous and turbulent power, Gu Zheng was not afraid, and also punched the other party's fist.
When the two fists collided, he did not feel the other party's power. This contrast made Gu Zheng's body surge, and he almost vomited blood.
"I've been tricked." This thought appeared in Gu Zheng's mind.
Damn, the other party wants to drag Shuang 'er down with him. Thinking of this, Gu Zheng turned his head to look, and a figure suddenly rushed towards the unconscious Shuang' er.
The pen, which had been accumulating power, instantly stabbed towards the figure's head. In about a second, it would pierce through the figure's head, but in half a second, the figure would reach Shuang 'er's position and trample on Shuang' er's body.
"It's over." At this moment, Gu Zheng hated himself so much. It turned out that the various actions of the figure before were to numb him, and he did not hesitate to seriously injure him.
From the beginning, the figure knew that he could not beat him, but he thought that victory was in his hands.
"Damn it."
Just as the tragedy was about to happen, four rays of red light suddenly lit up in the originally empty eyes of the guards and shot towards the figure. In just a short moment, the figure was fixed in place, even though the foot that had been raised was only a short thirty centimeters away from Shuang Er.
But it was locked in place just like that. In the next second, a pen directly pierced through the figure's head, and the figure completely lost its life.
Coincidentally, Shuang 'er had just woken up from her coma. Seeing a big foot in front of her, she screamed in fright.
"It's okay, Shuang 'er." Gu Zheng hurriedly went over to help Shuang 'er up. At this time, Shuang' er's condition was not very good. She was injured and frightened, and her whole person felt sick.
The figure was still entangled by the four red lights, and it was motionless, but its aura had disappeared. Gu Zheng dared to guarantee that he was deader than dead.
Suddenly, a bright light rose from the figure, and then a faint figure floated up.
Gu Zheng subconsciously wanted to attack, but a voice stopped him.
"Fellow Daoist, please show mercy."
Gu Zheng squinted his eyes as he looked at the figure. His face was the same as before, but it was not as sinister as before. Instead, it was filled with warmth. One look and anyone could tell that this was a kind person.
"What's wrong? I've already destroyed your true body. What else do you want from me?" Gu Zheng knew that he did not have to do anything. The shadow was actually the last of his spiritual power. It was harmless and would dissipate as time passed.
"I don't have anything else to say. I just want to thank you for helping me get rid of this devil." The illusory figure bowed in the air.
Gu Zheng was a little confused. Killing the enemy and the enemy thanking you? What kind of logic was this?
Seeing Gu Zheng's confusion, the virtual shadow continued, "I am a powerful ancient practitioner, the so-called body cultivator." His tone was full of confidence.
"But a few hundred years ago, due to some accident, an inner devil took root in my heart. You know that us body cultivators have a much weaker resistance to inner devils than those regular cultivators."
"At that time, I was prepared to solve this problem here. There is a Karst Fruit Tree below that can help me a little. Unfortunately, I failed in the end. My friend helped me set up a formation here. First, he thought that the enemy would find me. Second, if I failed, he would completely trap me here."
"Of course, I also left a backup plan. The destroyed palace can be sealed. These two puppet guards can temporarily suppress the inner devil."
Gu Zheng thought. No wonder the figure was bound by the puppet. At this time, the puppet guards had turned into dust. The figure still maintained the same posture, but he had lost his breath.
"Unfortunately, the inner devil's strength is not something I can imagine. I failed. My spirit is hidden in the deepest part of my mind. Maybe I will completely disappear in a hundred years. At that time, the inner devil will completely control my body. Some time ago, he bewitched a hunter who came here and used his body to destroy a nearby village. He wanted to attract a powerful immortal to help him."
The virtual shadow knew everything clearly. However, when Shuang 'er heard this news, tears streamed down her face. She did not expect that the culprit who destroyed her village was actually him.
"It's okay. He is already dead. He has already avenged your family." Gu Zheng comforted Shuang 'er.
"These are the survivors of the destroyed village. I am very sorry." Although it was done by the inner devil, the virtual shadow still felt very guilty.
"I didn't expect to attract you. No one noticed your hidden cultivation. Seeing that you are so powerful, I took the opportunity to come out and entangle him, so that he could not use immortal techniques."
Gu Zheng finally understood why the other party did not use any immortal techniques from beginning to end. It was impossible not to know about immortal techniques. It turned out that the original owner was helping him.
"What about my two friends?" Gu Zheng wanted to know the whereabouts of Xue 'er and the others.
"His target is you. Your friends are outside in the cave. They are fine."
Gu Zheng sighed in relief. It was good that they were fine.
"Miss, I am very sorry for what I have done. There is not much I can do. This old man's cultivation can make up for it."
A pure spiritual power linked to Shuang 'er's body. Shuang' er could not see, but she still felt a power coming from her body. This made Shuang 'er very scared.
Gu Zheng gave Shuang 'er a reassuring look. This was the old man burning his remaining life force to cleanse Shuang' er's muscles and marrow.
"Please ask for your name." This matter was not his fault. It was all done by the inner devil.
The old man shook his head. His figure became fainter and fainter. In the end, he disappeared from this side of the world.
At this time, Shuang 'er had already reached the second level of inner qi after a round of enlightenment. Unfortunately, her talent was not good. This forced cultivation would remain the same for the rest of her life.
But for Shuang 'er, this was a good result.
"Let's go." Gu Zheng pulled Shuang 'er, who was still in a daze. At this time, the illusion array had been closed by the old man. They slowly returned to the original path.
When they passed by the branch of the karst tree, Gu Zheng directly destroyed the life force. This was the fruit used to lure people. Once they stepped into this hall, there was no way out.
When they reached the hall, they saw Shuang 'er and Zhao Man unconscious on the ground.
Gu Zheng went to wake them up.
Xue 'er woke up and saw Shuang' er and Gu Zheng. Her somewhat dazed mind was immediately awakened. She ran in front of Shuang 'er and touched her up and down, making Shuang' er blush.
"What's wrong? You look like you've seen a ghost." Seeing Zhao Man's strange expression, Gu Zheng asked in annoyance.
After confirming that Shuang 'er was normal, Shuang' er sighed in relief. Hearing this, she said, "Isn't that obvious? We saw you die just now. Countless wild beasts surrounded us. If it weren't for our strength, we would've died."
Xue 'er puffed out her chest proudly. Zhao Man chuckled at the side. Only when Xue' er rolled her eyes at him did he stop talking.
It seemed that their relationship had deepened quite a bit after the previous environment.
Xue 'er was confused. "What happened? Then our vision went dark. When we woke up, you were the one who woke us up."
Gu Zheng briefly explained what had happened. He only said that he had coincidentally helped the inner demon and the old man in the battle.
The main point was that Shuang 'er had received the old man's power and was now very strong.
At this time, Xue 'er and Zhao Man were standing in front of Shuang' er, praising her. In just a short time, Shuang 'er's cultivation had increased by 20%.
If only it was them, Xue 'er and Zhao Man thought at the same time.
However, they did not expect that if it was them, she would probably ignore them.
Still, they were happy for Shuang 'er.
"Rumble!"
"Look!" Zhao Man pointed behind them.
The original passage behind them was gradually collapsing. Everything was buried in the mountain, and the entrance of the cave was blocked.
A ray of sunlight shone in from outside. The original entrance that had disappeared had reappeared.
Insects and birds chirped. A light breeze blew through the forest. The sky was clear.
When the group came out again, it was already the morning of the second day. Apart from Gu Zheng, everyone was greedily enjoying themselves. The bright sunlight, the fresh air, and the cries of the wild beasts in the distance were pleasant to the ears.
"Look, that's our tent." The equipment that they had left behind was still in the same place. Zhao Man had built it in a place to shelter them from the storm.
Walking over to take a look, there were actually many things that had not been thrown away. Although they did not care about these things, there were still some clothes in the tent.
"Brother Hu, wasn't I right? They must be nearby. Look, they're back." A voice came from the direction of the forest. In order to let them hear, the voice was especially loud.
"Hehe, Sister Rabbit, you're still the smart one." A coarse voice sounded.
The two of them had returned from somewhere else and found their junior sister.
Two figures slowly walked out of the forest. One had the back of a tiger and the waist of a bear, while the other was petite.
Xue 'er looked at her two senior brothers and waved happily. "Senior Brother, Senior Sister, what a coincidence! Why are you here?"
At this time, Xue 'er still did not know that her two senior brothers were going to capture her.
Actually, Gu Zheng did not know either. However, the four of them were not in good condition. Apart from Gu Zheng, who was in a better state, the others were more or less in a sorry state.
Shuang 'er's face was pale, and her clothes were torn. Zhao Man had been topless just now, and his pants were a little tattered.
As for Xue 'er, her black hair was disheveled. More importantly, the exhaustion she exuded was too obvious.
After coming out of the terrifying cave, how could she not be relaxed?
The tiger demon and rabbit demon had already walked over with smiles on their faces. After some investigation, one of them was at the fourth level, while the other was at the third level. Although it was a little troublesome, they would not fight if they could.
As for Gu Zheng and Shuang 'er, they were completely ignored.
They thought that they had encountered something in the storm yesterday that caused Rui Ci to be in such a sorry state. They would never have thought of what they had experienced.
"Master misses you. He wants you to go back." The rabbit demon acted according to the plan they had discussed before. He wanted to see if his junior sister knew the inside story.
Seeing that Shuang 'er knew who she was, Zhao Man and the rest did not mind and started to pack their things.
Gu Zheng also pretended to help, but in reality, he was listening to what they were doing.
Xue 'er jumped up happily. "Master is back? Didn't he say that he was recuperating? Why is he back so soon? "
The rabbit demon nodded lightly at the fox demon, reminding him that his junior sister might know some inside story.
Regardless of whether his master was around or not, his life was more important. The rabbit demon probed, "That's right. Master still wants to invite the expert who saved him to thank him properly. He didn't have time at that time, so he sent us out to find you first, junior sister."
The tiger demon added, "Yes, we have to thank the expert. Although we are weak, we can still do something within our power."
The tiger demon was sincere. After all, Xue 'er was fooled.
Gu Zheng's heart skipped a beat. He sent a voice transmission to Xue 'er, asking her to tell them that the expert had left because of something urgent.
Although Xue 'er did not know why, she trusted Gu Zheng and told them the truth.
The tiger demon and rabbit demon were happy at first, but then their faces darkened. Without the expert, the curse in their bodies could not be lifted. However, it would be easier to take their junior sister away. If the expert could not lift the curse, they would be in big trouble if they wanted to take their junior sister away.
The rabbit demon's ears twitched slightly, alert of everything around them.
Next was the tiger demon. After all, as the eldest senior brother, he had some authority.
"Since the expert is not here, junior sister, let's go back first." The tiger demon smiled.
At this moment, Xue 'er was a little alarmed. Her eldest senior brother used to dislike her because their master loved to take care of her. After all, they were of the same origin. Now that he was so gentle to her, there must be something wrong.
"You guys go first. I'll go with my friend. I'll be there later. I'll apologize to master then."
"There's no danger around here. Is it appropriate for master to wait? Besides, master asked us to call you back. Don't disappoint him. "The rabbit demon's eyes were purple. He was about to pull Xue 'er.
Xue 'er took a step back and dodged the rabbit demon's hand. She said cautiously, "Impossible. You're lying. Master would never do that to me." Xue' er decided to trick him. After all, other than her fourth senior brother, no one else treated her well.
"What's wrong? Xue 'er said she won't go back with you." Zhao Man saw that the atmosphere was not right. He quickly came over and glared at them.
How dare you bully my Xue 'er? You'll have to go through me first. Zhao Man's aura suddenly increased.
Looking at Zhao Man who seemed to have taken an aphrodisiac, the tiger demon and rabbit demon were stunned. Nothing had happened yet. Why did he go berserk?
The rabbit demon secretly gestured to the tiger demon, indicating that they should attack immediately.
They had already decided that if things went south, they would attack immediately.
The tiger demon purposely took two steps forward. "What's wrong? We don't need an outsider like you to meddle in our business." Before he finished speaking, he attacked Zhao Man's heart.
His right palm struck across the air. His body also charged forward like lightning. The turbulent demonic aura made an ear-piercing sound. The strong and powerful palm energy faintly made the sound of wind and thunder.
In order to succeed in this attack, the tiger demon used all his strength.
Fortunately, Zhao Man was vigilant. However, he could not use all his strength in a hurry. He could only block with both hands in front of him and concentrate all his internal energy to defend.
"Boom!"
Like thunder, the vigorous energy surged in all directions. Xue 'er was forced to retreat.
"Zhao Man!" Xue 'er cried sadly.
"It's done." When the palm hit, the tiger demon was sure that Zhao Man would at least be seriously injured. If he was lucky, he might even die. If not for his high vigilance, he would be dead for sure.
Yes, Zhao Man thought so too. At such a close distance, and with such a well-planned attack, even if he had the slightest bit of time to defend, he would not be able to escape death.
Therefore, when the attack came, Gu Zheng was already in despair.
However, when the fist landed on Zhao Man's body, he did not feel any pressure. It was as if it had been blocked by something, and the original force was reduced by half. Although he was still sent flying, he was only lightly injured.
"Zhao Man!" Xue 'er ran over. Zhao Man was already lying motionless in the distance.
"Cough, cough." After Zhao Man spat out the blood in his body, his chest finally felt better.
Xue 'er knelt down and placed Zhao Man's head on her lap. Seeing the blood at the corner of Zhao Man's mouth, she tried her best to heal him.
Smelling the fragrance of the woman he loved, Zhao Man was so happy that he forgot who he was. He did not even want to get up. He even forgot about the injuries he had suffered. He just wanted to stay like this forever.
Sensing Xue 'er's anxiousness, Zhao Man did not want to waste Xue' er's combat power. Besides, there were still two enemies to deal with. He had to protect Xue 'er and prevent her from being captured.
Zhao Man's heart was filled with boundless fighting spirit.
Zhao Man, who had his eyes closed, opened them. He said to Xue 'er, who was concerned about him, "I'm fine. I just feel a little suffocated."
After saying that, he stood up, stretched his chest and stretched his legs. Yes, there was no big problem. He then took out his weapon, the Purple Striped War Spear. This was a weapon that he had specially invited the disciple of the number one master craftsman in Feng City to forge for him.
Naturally, he had brought the materials himself. However, he had fused many precious materials into it.
He looked at the tiger demon that had ambushed him. How dare you ambush me? I'll let you have a taste of my power!
A powerful fighting spirit spread out from his body, shocking Xue 'er, who was standing beside him.
She did not expect this usually gentle and elegant man to have such a side.
Gu Zheng did not know anything about all this. Although he was the one who had set up the barrier, he just had to stay behind with Shuang 'er and watch. With him around, nothing could go wrong.
On the other hand, Shuang 'er was very anxious. It was a pity that she only had brute force now.
The rabbit demon was flattering the tiger demon. The opponent's strongest combat power had been crippled. It was almost certain that they would succeed. Suddenly, he saw Zhao Man stand up as if nothing had happened.
Pointing behind the tiger demon, he said in shock, "Brother … Brother Tiger, that person got up again."
"What? How is that possible?" The tiger demon could not believe it. He turned around and looked at Zhao Man, who looked as if nothing had happened. He was clearly weaker than me. How could he be fine after taking a full blow from me?
Seeing the two of them in a daze, Zhao Man would not let go of such a good opportunity. He went forward and attacked first, stabbing his spear at the tiger demon's face.
The tiger demon also took out his own saber. The two of them tangled with each other, and their figures became faster and faster.
