How could Lu Ya's Immortal Slaying Flying Knife be here? The black-clothed man was in despair.
If he had known that this guy had such a treasure, he would not have let him be so far away from him. He was still foolish enough to let the trap and illusion give him enough time.
But it was too late to say anything. This time, the black-clothed man even took out his trump card.
At this time, the voice of the treasure, please turn around, entered the black-clothed man's ears.
The black-clothed man's body exploded. At this time, a flash of light turned to the black-clothed man. Two white lights appeared from the white line and shot straight at the black-clothed man. However, one of the white lights seemed to have encountered some obstruction. It flashed twice and did not penetrate.
The white light was like a wheel of wind and fire. After one or two revolutions, it returned to the gourd with a whoosh.
The area where the black-clothed man was turned into a cloud of blood mist with a bang. It turned into a cloud of mist, blocking all vision.
Gu Zheng looked in front of him with a solemn expression. The black-clothed man was not dead. There was still a weak aura inside. Did the gourd that worked every time fail? Gu Zheng had to be careful.
Due to the existence of the blood mist, Gu Zheng could not see all the information inside. He did not know how the black-clothed man was, whether he was seriously injured or unharmed.
Gu Zheng felt a little uneasy. As time passed, the blood mist slowly became thinner and thinner. Gu Zheng could also see an incomplete figure clearly.
Now, the black-clothed man was in a terrible state. First of all, all the defensive magic treasures in front of him were damaged. Both of his legs had disappeared from below the thighs. There was a severed arm on his right.
A huge wound stretched from his left shoulder all the way to his waist. His intestines could be vaguely seen leaking out. His two eye sockets were nothing more than two black holes. It was extremely bloody. If an ordinary immortal suffered such an injury, he would have died long ago.
The other intact arm was holding a puppet doll that did not have any luster. The doll was bleeding from all seven orifices. It kept twitching like a real person. Gu Zheng thought that this was the key to avoiding the fatal blow.
In this state, the black-clothed man was no different from being dead. If nothing unexpected happened, there was no need for Gu Zheng to finish him off. Because he could die at any moment.
At this time, the black-clothed man suddenly laughed. Blood kept flowing out of his mouth.
"Let's die together!"
A red light came from an inconspicuous corner. It was so fast that Gu Zheng had no time to react. It instantly surrounded Gu Zheng.
In the end, Gu Zheng only had one thought. The ancient bronze immortal sword that was still above his head hummed and spun a few times before flying towards the north with a whoosh.
That was the direction Xue 'er and the others had left in.
The moment the red light hit Gu Zheng, a circle of light enveloped Gu Zheng from nowhere. It shrank and disappeared along with Gu Zheng.
At the same time, Gu Zheng lost consciousness and fell into a coma.
"Haha!" The black-robed man's laughter grew louder and louder. He felt indescribably happy. "I'll be waiting for you."
The black-clothed man's entire body began to bleed. Cracks began to appear on the surface of his body, and the speed of the cracks increased. The black-clothed man's aura was like a roller coaster as it rapidly plummeted.
"Boom!"
An earth-shattering sound rang out. A huge mushroom cloud rose up. The surrounding area was drowned out by the sound of the explosion. All traces were erased. Nothing existed.
The black-clothed man's soul was completely destroyed. He had completely disappeared.
Only the faint energy ripples in the air indicated that something unusual had happened here.
All that was left was a huge crater a few kilometers wide. Some underground water had already seeped in. Soon, this place would become a lake.
Xue 'er and Zhao Man walked for a long distance. Zhao Man couldn't resist Xue' er's stubbornness and stopped by the side of the road.
But when Xue 'er wanted to go back, Zhao Man wouldn't let her. He even personally stopped her.
Xue 'er was very anxious. Seeing Zhao Man treat her like this, her tears began to flow. She cried out to Zhao Man, "Get out of my way. Otherwise, I'll never talk to you again."
Zhao Man's face was red. No matter how much Xue 'er begged, he grabbed Xue' er's hand and steeled his heart to stop her from going back.
Xue 'er had no choice but to walk back and forth anxiously. No matter how Zhao Man comforted her, it was useless.
That earth-shattering scene could be felt from a few hundred kilometers away. Even the shockwaves from the explosion passed through Xue 'er.
Although the shockwaves had weakened, leaving behind only a light breeze, she could still feel the intensity of the explosion.
"Cousin!" Xue 'er cried out as she fell to the ground. Her heart felt empty. Xue' er had never met anyone who treated her so well. Other than her grandparents, even Zhao Man could not compare to Gu Zheng in her heart.
Zhao Man was also shocked by this shocking scene. But Xue 'er's sadness was what he felt the most.
He could only comfort her, "Your cousin is so strong. How could anything happen to him?" Even so, Zhao Man did not believe that anyone could have survived the explosion. It was too shocking.
Xue 'er cried even harder. She knew that Zhao Man was just comforting her, but she couldn't control herself.
Suddenly, a bright light came from afar. Zhao Man shouted, "Be careful!" and stood in front of Xue 'er.
That figure was clearly flying towards her, and Xue 'er also stood up, her eyes filled with tears as if she was anticipating something.
"Weng!" A trembling sound came from in front of her. Xue 'er remembered that this was Gu Zheng's sword.
Now, there was only a lonely sword stuck in the ground. Its tail was still trembling.
There were still some traces of blood on the sword. There were also some rice-sized cracks on the blade. Xue 'er could also sense a similar aura from it.
"Damn it …" This was Xue 'er's last thought before she fainted. Seeing that Xue' er had fainted, Zhao Man hurriedly carried her onto the carriage. After thinking for a while, he went back and pulled out the sword.
From Xue 'er's expression, it was not hard to tell that this definitely had something to do with that cousin of hers. But no matter what, he could not keep it in his sachet.
He could only leave it in the carriage and head towards the next stop.
That sword was actually something that Gu Zheng had killed many evil Goblin in the past. It was unavoidable that it would be tainted by some evil people.
But it caused Xue 'er to misunderstand that it was "beautiful".
At this moment, Gu Zheng was standing on a vast ocean. Everything around him was blood-red, and he could not see the end of it.
Only a reef under his feet seemed to be floating. Gu Zheng did not know why he was here, nor did he want to know why he was here. He did not need to think about anything. He just stood there and walked towards the only source of light.
After an unknown period of time, the reef hit a piece of land. Gu Zheng followed the footsteps, walking forward step by step, floating aimlessly. When he reached this piece of land, the reef disappeared, and so did the blood-red light.
The entire world was pitch-black. Unknowingly, a ring appeared in Gu Zheng's hand. It was a dim purple-red, with strange patterns. It circled around and emitted a strange aura.
The ring in his hand became brighter and brighter, but its temperature also became higher and higher. There were many times when Gu Zheng wanted to throw it away, but a voice in his heart prevented him from doing so.
The scorching heat caused his hand to sizzle, and the fragrance of barbecued meat appeared in the air. When Gu Zheng was about to reach his limit, the ring of light in his hand suddenly emitted a purple-red light. It was so bright that Gu Zheng had no choice but to close his eyes.
Everything in front of him turned dark again.
With a splitting headache, Gu Zheng regained consciousness. This was the first thing he felt. It was as if a wooden stick was being stirred in his head. His body was soft, and he could not exert any strength. Gu Zheng continued to lie down like a silly dog.
His eyes were closed, and there was a faint smell of blood in his nose. There was also some rotting soil in his nose. Waves of nausea rushed into his mind.
Forcefully enduring the discomfort, Gu Zheng's pain gradually decreased, and the dizziness also gradually disappeared.
Gu Zheng turned his body over with difficulty. It was really uncomfortable to keep crawling. When he opened his eyes, a different world appeared in front of him.
The entire sky was pink and cute. Pink fog covered the sky, and a pale pink sphere the size of a sun hung in the air.
Gu Zheng felt that if this was a girl's boudoir, he would believe it in his heart. Reality proved that Gu Zheng was overthinking things.
Waves of fog also spewed out from the sun. Looking carefully, Gu Zheng felt more and more like an eye watching the world.
After looking for a long time, his whole mind felt like it was being sucked in. Gu Zheng hurriedly averted his gaze. Not far from him, there were many trees of different shapes. Some were black, as if they had been struck by lightning. However, there were also pink shoots on the branches.
There were also some with lush, dark red leaves that densely covered the entire sky.
At this time, Gu Zheng was also confused. He had never seen such a strange scene in his previous life.
After recovering some strength, Gu Zheng supported himself and stood up with difficulty. He found himself on a small hill. Next to him was a fruit tree with unknown fruits. As far as the eye could see, there were all kinds of strange trees. In the distance, there were several mountain ranges. Apart from this strange environment, it was actually not much different from an ordinary mountain forest.
However, Gu Zheng did not think that this was really an ordinary mountain forest. Previously, Gu Zheng wanted to feel the surrounding environment, but his divine sense had already reached the limit of five thousand meters. It was as if there was an invisible thing in the air that was hindering him.
What was the point of moving such a short distance? If he moved with all his strength, he could run back and forth a few times. If someone ambushed him, he might not even be able to react.
Moreover, when he tried to take two steps, there was a stagnant feeling in the air that hindered him. He had to use twice as much strength as usual to move.
Everything around him was quiet. There were no sounds of insects or birds. Only the rustling sound of leaves accompanied by an unknown breeze was particularly strange.
No matter what, the most important thing was to recover his strength. Now that he was in less than ten percent of his original state, he did not feel safe in this place.
Gu Zheng sat down cross-legged and took out a pill to recover his immortal qi. Gu Zheng felt that he was really careless. However, he could not be blamed. Who would have thought that the gourd, which had worked every time, would fail this time? It was not that it failed.
Although it only blocked some of its power, one must know that no one had ever blocked a Daluo. As long as one was covered and spun around, one would be dead.
Gu Zheng thought about it from another perspective. That Asura was so strong. He might have had a stroke of luck and obtained a treasure that even a Quasi-Sage would covet. Although he could not bring out the full power of the treasure, he could still bring out some of its power.
Thinking of this, he felt relieved. At least this Immortal-Slaying Gourd was ineffective against Quasi-Sages. Moreover, the Daluo Jinxian's effect was not as strong as before. After all, this was lent to him by Lu Ya. If it was in Lu Ya's hands, the black-robed man would not be able to block the Immortal-Slaying Gourd.
Thinking of the black-robed man's treasures, he did not know who had benefited. Gu Zheng did not know that when he disappeared, the black-robed man actually detonated himself and blew up all traces.
There was a reason for his ruthlessness. The black-robed man was afraid that Gu Zheng had other means to return. If that happened, all his efforts would have been in vain. If nothing unexpected happened, he would not be able to survive anyway. He could not let others benefit.
Gu Zheng's guess was right. The black-robed man did have a doll that he had obtained by chance. At a critical moment, it could die for him. Even if he was an ordinary person, he could die for him. Moreover, he could jump out of the five elements and not be in the three realms.
Unfortunately, Lu Ya's natal magic treasure was not something that could be dodged so easily. All he could do was use some tricks to prolong his life. However, the black-clothed man was happy. At the very least, he had successfully sent Gu Zheng there.
After a long time, Gu Zheng opened his eyes. His eyes flashed. Although his injuries were not completely healed, he had almost recovered. The thing that surprised Gu Zheng the most was that the spiritual energy here was poisonous.
That's right, it was poisonous. When Gu Zheng was recovering, not only was the absorption of the spiritual energy outside very slow, but there was also a trace of black mist that entered his body and hid there. If it was not for Gu Zheng's high vigilance, he would not have discovered it.
This black weapon was very cunning and difficult to deal with. Gu Zheng spent a lot of effort to completely eliminate it. However, he had also lost a lot of immortal energy.
Calculating it this way, half of the energy absorbed from the outside world was consumed by this strange black silk. Fortunately, Gu Zheng had brought enough recovery pills, so he did not have to worry for a while.
Patting the non-existent soil off his body, Gu Zheng turned his head to look at the fruit tree. This fruit tree was at the top of this small hill and was only a few meters away from him. The big tree next to it was at least a dozen meters away from him.
Obviously, this tree had contracted all the nearby land and was incomparably powerful.
The bright red fruit hung on this tree that was not even two meters tall. It was indeed a little strange. How long had this tree been here? Could it be that there was no one here at all?
Gu Zheng curiously plucked one from the tree. It was like a miniature version of an apple. Its entire body was bright red, making people want to take a bite. Gu Zheng put it close to his nose and sniffed it carefully.
"Achoo!"
This meant that the small fruit of the apple did not have any smell. However, the smell of blood caused the worker to sneeze uncontrollably.
Playing with the small fruit in his hand, Gu Zheng discovered that it was still relatively hard. Thinking about it, Gu Zheng did not try to eat it like Shennong.
Who knew if there was any poison in it? Based on the principle of not letting go of anything, he plucked all of them and guarded them well. What if he met someone who knew how to do it?
A miraculous thing happened. When the last fruit was plucked, all the branches on the tree withered one after another within a minute. Then, visible to the naked eye, three more dark green branches separated from the trunk.
The resin sand emitted a faint green light, blocking some inexplicable erosion. It was about half a meter long. At the end of the branches, there were three more dark green fruits. They were the size of small dates. A kind of vigorous aura emerged from them.
Before Gu Zheng could do anything, the three fruits instantly shot in different directions. Gu Zheng only had time to intercept the one that was shooting in his direction. The other two that he encountered disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The fruits of this ancient tree that were shooting seeds began to wither from the top. They died just like that under Gu Zheng's eyes. Only the dry wood after the withered was left. When the wind blew, it turned into dust and disappeared.
In the boundless world, there were all kinds of strange things. Gu Zheng thought with a dumbfounded expression. No matter what, he should leave. He put away the fruit that emitted the aura of life and left this place.
Gu Zheng did not know where to go, so he casually chose a side and walked over.
Along the way, there were trees that were dozens of meters tall. Fortunately, most of them were black. Occasionally, he would see a tree full of dark red leaves. It really covered the sun all day long. A tree was a small forest. Only below it were some low bushes, but there were still no other life forms.
Gu Zheng kept walking forward vigilantly. If he was not sure that he was walking in a straight line, he would think that he was walking in circles. Basically, the scene was exactly the same.
There was no sunrise or sunset here. No matter what time it was, there was a sun-like thing hanging in the sky.
Walking and stopping, Gu Zheng estimated that he had been walking for about two days. What made him despair was that the scene was still the same.
Here, the recovery of immortal energy was extremely slow. He had to make sure that he was full of energy at all times.
What Gu Zheng did not know was that there was a pair of eyes not far from him watching him. From the day Gu Zheng left, there was a spiritless following behind him. Gu Zheng did not notice at all.
Gu Zheng stopped under a tree with leaves. Over the past few days of work, he had discovered that the invisible corrosion from the air was relatively small. On the road, he had to expend a little bit of energy to protect his body. Although it was a small amount, it could not withstand the constant use of energy.
He also had to maintain a higher height in the north of the village, so Gu Zheng stopped to replenish his energy when he encountered such trees.
"Hiss, hiss." A huge python with its tongue out slowly approached from the tree. From time to time, it would stick out its slender tongue to sense Gu Zheng's position.
What was even stranger was that the sound of the python sticking out its tongue was completely inaudible. If one saw it, this sound would directly appear in one's mind.
If Gu Zheng looked up, he could see the figure of the python from the layers of red leaves.
Unfortunately, Gu Zheng did not sense the appearance of the python, whether it was his spiritual sense or his heart. He still used this time to recover.
The python was not anxious at all. It went around the thick tree bit by bit and climbed down.
A pair of green triangular eyes had already penetrated the last layer of leaves. Twenty meters below was Gu Zheng.
