Gu Zheng suddenly recalled Hei Jin's trick from before. He was caught off guard and fell for it. He could imitate Hei Jin's trick as well. However, he needed a greater deterrence to make Hei Jin fall for it.
An incomparably vast amount of immortal energy stealthily gathered within his body. Gu Zheng endured the intense pain and pursed his lips. He clenched his teeth so hard that they were about to shatter. However, he forced himself not to make a sound. Even the groans of pain were firmly controlled by Gu Zheng.
Hua Long had long noticed the situation in Gu Zheng's body. He wanted to see what tricks Gu Zheng had up his sleeves.
The amount of immortal energy increased and gradually filled Gu Zheng's chest. Gu Zheng raised his head and looked at Hua Long with bloodshot eyes. A smile appeared on his face. His other hand grabbed Hua Long's foot with lightning speed and held it tightly, not allowing Hua Long to leave.
"Not good."
Hua Long saw the madness in Gu Zheng's eyes and his heart thumped. He could feel the immortal energy in Gu Zheng's body growing stronger. He realized that Gu Zheng wanted to perish together with him. He wanted to drag him to hell with him.
Although he was confident that he could survive Gu Zheng's self-destruction, he was not stupid enough to experience the feeling of being in the center of an explosion. It was not as if he could not break free.
Hua Long's leg shook and Gu Zheng's hand was flung away. He quickly left the place and stood in the distance, ready to watch the fireworks.
In the next second, an incomparably huge wave erupted beside Gu Zheng. Dust flew everywhere, and boundless energy swept out in all directions. The trees were uprooted, and before they could fly up, they were all annihilated in this explosion.
An invisible shield appeared in front of Hua Long, blocking the terrifying energy. If it was in the past, he would not be able to block such an explosion. He would have to retreat in a sorry state to avoid getting injured. But now, it could no longer hurt him.
However, Hua Long's face was unusually ugly. Gu Zheng had tricked him. It was not a self-destruction. It was a pure explosion. Although it looked imposing, he had been fooled by Gu Zheng.
Hua Long felt that he was being looked down upon by the other party. He felt that he was still a coward. Hua Long decided not to continue playing with the other party. He would just let the other party die. Light shot out from his arm as he punched the air.
Although he couldn't see the other party's figure clearly due to the cloud of dust, his Divine Sense had firmly locked onto the other party. A fist aura even more terrifying than the one before appeared, carrying with it a huge force as it rushed towards Gu Zheng. Wherever it passed, a huge tunnel was created in the ground by the fist aura.
Hua Long believed that under such an attack, there would be no mishap. He would definitely die.
The dust that filled the air was blown away by the force of the fist, revealing Gu Zheng who was standing at his original spot. A yellow barrier was obscured in front of him, revealing Gu Zheng's unswerving determination. This told Hua Long that he had not given up and wanted to resist the opponent's attack.
"Let's see how you die." In Hua Long's view, it was just a struggle before death.
In the next second, the fist aura collided with the barrier, causing a dazzling light to burst out. Both sides were in a stalemate. The barrier was not as fragile as expected. It actually lasted for a few seconds before it was broken. This little bit of time was enough.
Gu Zheng had enough time to take out what he wanted. Next, he used the Divine Sense Pen to block the fist aura. After consuming a portion of the fist aura's energy, the Divine Sense Pen was sent flying and landed on the ground not far away.
What a treasure! Hua Long's eyes lit up. He did not expect the other party to be hiding such a treasure. Although the pen was dim, Hua Long could see that this pen was not ordinary.
After being consumed by the Human Book and the Judge Pen, the fist aura had weakened a lot. In the end, it did not kill Gu Zheng as expected. Gu Zheng was sent flying by the force of the fist aura.
Blood gushed out of his mouth. Soon, Gu Zheng's body was dyed red with his own blood. Although Gu Zheng had successfully offset most of the opponent's power, the remaining attack still sent Gu Zheng into a state of near death.
At this time, Gu Zheng was not in a good condition. His head was dizzy and his mind was blank. He could not think clearly. However, his body subconsciously stood up. He was swaying as if he would fall to the ground in the next second.
Gu Zheng was only left with the obsession in his heart. Following his instincts, he bent down slightly and spat out a mouthful of blood. "Baby, please turn around."
At this time, Hua Long's attention was still attracted by the Judge Pen. He wanted to take it. Although he knew that Gu Zheng did not die on the spot, in that state, without the help of others, the injuries in his body were enough to cause him to die slowly. Hua Long could enjoy the beautiful death of his enemy.
However, the moment Gu Zheng opened his mouth, a feeling of death fell directly on Hua Long's heart.
"Baby."
Hua Long turned his head to look at Gu Zheng. For some reason, Hua Long had a premonition that if he let Gu Zheng finish his sentence, something bad would happen.
"Please."
Although Gu Zheng spoke quickly, Hua Long's reaction was even faster. He had already begun to move.
"Turn."
A huge pressure erupted from behind Gu Zheng, tightly locking him in place. Hua Long knew that no matter how he tried to escape, he would not be able to escape from the other party's lock.
However, Hua Long had already arrived above Gu Zheng. He aimed his fist at Gu Zheng's head and punched out like lightning. His ferocious face had a pair of cruel eyes. No matter what happens next, you won't have the chance to say it.
Gu Zheng did not have any reaction to this. When Gu Zheng stood up, he had already fainted. Now, he was purely relying on the obsession in his heart to support himself.
"Buzz"
A low and deep voice resounded out of nowhere. A transparent protective shield appeared in front of Gu Zheng. He was so small, only the size of a palm. However, his defensive power was so strong that he was able to block Hua Long's all-out attack.
Hua Long was shocked. Under the pressure of death, he directly burned all the strength in his body. His other hand reached out like lightning to grab Gu Zheng's head, trying to stop the other party.
Unfortunately, it was too late. The moment his hand was blocked by the protective shield, Gu Zheng spat out the last word.
"Body."
His voice was not loud, but what happened next made Hua Long despair.
A small and exquisite gourd popped out from behind Gu Zheng. Time seemed to have stopped at this moment. Hua Long stared blankly as a white light sealed him. His other hand had just stretched out. It was still a distance away from Gu Zheng, but he couldn't move at all.
Following which, Hua Long's vision started to spin. Just like that, everything had come to an end. His dreams, his hard work, everything had lost its meaning.
Before he could even feel unreconciled, Hua Long died just like that. His body stood there in a daze.
The gourd turned around and automatically returned to Gu Zheng's waist. A shadow vine stretched out from its mouth and directly hung on Gu Zheng's body. It was hanging in the air beside him, swaying back and forth.
Without Gu Zheng's control, the gourd returned to Gu Zheng's side. It did not know that Gu Zheng was about to die.
The protective shield that suddenly appeared suddenly expanded, enveloping Gu Zheng's body. Then, an explosion rang out. It turned out that the immortal energy in Hua Long's body had gone out of control, resulting in an explosion. Hua Long's body was blown into powder and shot out in all directions.
Hua Long's face was also blown into bits by the powder, completely losing all evidence of his existence. Only those who were very familiar with him would know who died here.
Gu Zheng was also blown away by the explosion and laid on the ground. After blocking the ball of energy, the ball of energy retracted back into Gu Zheng's body. The remaining energy protected Gu Zheng's heart meridians, fighting for a chance of survival.
The surroundings had already quieted down. Only Gu Zheng was lying on the ground, his life and death unknown. After a long time, his chest rose and fell, proving that Gu Zheng was still alive.
But now, Gu Zheng had already lost consciousness. His entire body was ravaged and full of wounds. He was only supported by that ball of energy. If that ball of energy disappeared, then the immortals would not be able to save Gu Zheng.
Time passed day by day. That ball of energy was also weakening day by day. The scene of devastation in the surroundings had already returned to normal. There were no traces of the battle from before.
Even the Magistrate Brush and the precious gourd had dimmed because of Gu Zheng's state. It represented Gu Zheng's current state.
"Eh?"
A figure that was speeding past suddenly stopped. After thinking for a moment, she turned back.
Looking at the person on the ground whose aura was already extremely weak, she used her jade hands to feel the situation in his body. The surprise on her face became more and more intense. As if she had thought of something, her flower-like face was filled with a smile. She took out a pill and placed it in the person's mouth.
The pill melted as soon as it entered his mouth and flowed down his throat. Following the effects of the pill, the painful expression on his face gradually eased. His chest also slowly returned to its normal state, and his breathing finally stabilized. The last bit of energy finally couldn't hold on any longer and directly disappeared into his body.
Thick black eyebrows like two sharp swords. That handsome and arrogant face, even if he was injured, revealed an irresistible noble aura.
Was this his true appearance? No wonder he wore a mask. But who was the one who beat him up like this? If she had not happened to pass by, he would have died in this wilderness and no one would have known.
Could it be that his identity had been discovered and he had chased him all the way here and then perished together with the enemy? The surrounding traces had long disappeared without a trace. He carefully walked around, but other than a decent looking pen, there was nothing else.
The Magistrate Brush was currently covered in dust and was not eye-catching at all. If it was not activated, no one would know how powerful it was. However, it was the only thing left in this area. She put it away.
Seeing that the other party's aura had improved slightly, she thought for a moment and took out a blood-red crystal. It was sparkling and translucent, perfect and flawless. It could be seen that it contained extraordinary energy. She gently placed it in front of Gu Zheng's mouth.
Gu Zheng's body was currently extremely lacking in energy. After sensing the traces of energy on his face, he unconsciously absorbed it. The crystal turned into a red mist and was sucked into Gu Zheng's mouth. As the crystal's volume slowly decreased, Gu Zheng's face also became redder.
The woman's heart ached as she watched the crystal disappear. However, she also let out a sigh of relief. Once again sensing the improvement in Gu Zheng's body, she thought for a moment and reached out with her hand. Gu Zheng floated in the air and left with the woman.
In the blink of an eye, half a month passed. Gu Zheng was still unconscious, but his injuries had completely stabilized. The woman did not have the slightest intention of resting. Although she was carrying a person, she did not appear to be tired.
Bang!
Because too much time had passed, the gourd had already sunk into silence. That formless vine had also lost its energy. The gourd hanging on Gu Zheng's waist also fell to the ground. The woman turned her head to look at it. She only felt that it was an ordinary gourd and did not pay it any attention.
The gourd was left alone on the ground.
When the woman's fist landed on Gu Zheng's body, he only felt a burning sensation in his body. He vaguely remembered standing up and then falling unconscious.
What did he feel after that? Gu Zheng only felt that he had appeared in a vast ocean. He was standing on a lone boat. The sky and the sea were all turbulent. Waves of tsunamis were crashing against his small boat. He could only use all his strength to hold on to the edge of the boat. He could not fall.
It was raining heavily, and the bean-sized raindrops smashed onto his face along with the strong wind. He had to endure the unending pain all the time.
He did not know why he had appeared here. He did not even know who he was. He did not even have time to think about it. He had to constantly try to maintain his body to ensure that he did not fall.
He did not know why he was trying so hard. There were several times when Gu Zheng wanted to jump directly to avoid the pain. But every time he wanted to jump, he was stopped by a stubborn thought in his heart. It was as if he had not completed his wish and could not die like this.
Just like that, the bitterly struggling Gu Zheng persisted again and again. But soon, Gu Zheng sadly discovered that the small boat beneath him seemed to be unable to hold on any longer. There were some cracks on the hull, and the creaking sounds indicated that Gu Zheng's small boat would not be able to hold on much longer.
"Is there anyone?"
Gu Zheng shouted for help. He had shouted this many times, but there was no response. This time, there was a sudden change.
The first thing he felt was that the sky was no longer windy. The raindrops were also smaller. The magnitude of the tsunamis was also smaller. It was as if someone had heard his cry for help and saved him.
More importantly, there was a piece of land not far away. The small boat under him was floating towards that land. Soon, it reached the side of the land. When he stepped on the land, he looked back and saw that the small boat had already tilted up high and was sinking down, slowly disappearing from his sight.
"That was close." Gu Zheng felt a lingering fear. If he had been a little later, he would have fallen as well.
As time passed, the situation slowly improved. The originally cloudy sky was also blown away by a breeze, revealing a bit of sunlight. The land was slowly growing larger. Everything was developing in a good direction.
After an unknown amount of time, the dark clouds in the sky had mostly disappeared. In front of him was a shining door of light. Gu Zheng vaguely knew that this was the door to leave this place. He quickened his steps and faced the light. Covering his eyes, he stepped through.
"Ugh!"
A painful groan came from Gu Zheng's mouth. The woman who was still moving forward glanced behind her. Sensing that he was about to wake up, she found a slightly larger space and put him down.
Gu Zheng finally woke up from his coma. He opened his heavy eyelids. The faint pink sky was a bit dazzling. He closed his eyes again and felt the injuries on his body. He had actually recovered a lot. At the very least, his body had calmed down.
He vaguely felt that he was seriously injured. What was going on now? Gu Zheng's memory was still stuck at the time when he was sent flying by a punch.
A delicate fragrance came from beside him. An alluring voice sounded from the side.
"You're finally awake."
Gu Zheng hurriedly opened his eyes. The first thing he saw was a pair of slender white legs. Although only the short part of the calf was exposed, it was enough to peek at the beauty of the pair of legs.
Looking up, a pair of exquisite curves could be clearly seen under the cover of the long skirt. They were mature, full, and curvaceous. She raised her head and looked at him with a pair of oval face that was full of smiles.
He was stunned. Wasn't this the Pan Xuan he had fought against before?
"What's wrong? You're in a daze." She stretched out an arm in front of Gu Zheng and waved it. The fragrance was so close to him. Her tender face was flushed red. Seeing Gu Zheng in a daze for a moment, Pan Xuan revealed a trace of satisfaction. It seemed that her charm was not small.
Gu Zheng hurriedly stood up and took a few steps back. He looked at her as if he was facing a great enemy. He was still thinking about what was going on when he suddenly stood up and pulled at his injuries. The unprepared Gu Zheng grimaced.
Seeing this scene, Pan Xuan covered her mouth and giggled.
"What happened? Why did you save me?" Gu Zheng looked at the other party warily. He could roughly guess that it was the other party who had saved him.
"You ah, still pretending. Don't you know what happened? You still have to ask me? I want to ask you what happened. Did you expose your identity and get chased like this?"
Pan Xuan finished speaking in one breath and looked at Gu Zheng curiously.
"What?" Listening to her strange words, he could feel her kindness. It was completely different from the feeling of hostility at first.
Gu Zheng subconsciously touched his neck. The necklace that the elder had given him was all gone. He felt his own aura and found that after the disguise had failed, he had the unique aura of a Shura. No wonder Pan Xuan thought that he was a companion.
In fact, Pan Xuan was so sure because Gu Zheng had absorbed the pure blood crystal. It had to be known that the crystal was specially used by Shura and was very expensive. If a non-Sura absorbed the energy inside, there would definitely be abnormalities.
In particular, the baleful aura inside was the purest and most ferocious. If a mid-stage Jin Xian dared to absorb it completely, he would explode and die in less than an hour. Even a Shura would not dare to casually absorb the energy inside.
After seeing that Gu Zheng had absorbed it perfectly, Pan Xuan was finally relieved. However, she did not see the red line on Gu Zheng's right wrist light up a little.
"Let me think. I can't remember right now." Pan Xuan could see from the initial confused expression that Gu Zheng had not completely recovered from his unconscious state.
