"You don't want to die, but do you think they want to die?" Messenger Wu roared in his heart. He increased the speed of his palm and smashed He Jiu's head, causing it to splatter like watermelon juice.
He Jiu did not expect to die even though he thought he could escape death.
This finally shattered the Shura's fantasy. Some of them stopped running and began to fight back. Even though they knew their efforts were futile, they could not die in such a cowardly manner.
Messenger Wu did not care about the counterattacks at all. They could not even keep up with his speed and all of them fell behind him.
He came behind another person. Instead of running away, the person turned around and hugged Messenger Wu. The next second, an earth-shattering explosion was heard and a huge wave of air dispersed from the center.
This attracted everyone's attention. Now, there were less than 200 people left, including those who were injured. Two-thirds of them had died here. This was a huge loss.
This Shura knew he could not escape death, so he was prepared to self-destruct. When he saw Messenger Wu coming over, he turned around and approached him.
Messenger Wu was not prepared for this. In the blink of an eye, the Shura had succeeded. Fortunately, he had a layer of black light around him to protect him. Otherwise, he would have been injured.
He walked out of the center of the explosion with a dark face. When they saw that he was not injured, the Shura looked disappointed and wanted to kill him on the spot.
Moreover, many of them looked at him with flickering eyes. It was obvious that they wanted to die together with him.
Since he had taken precautions, how could he make the same mistake again? He suppressed the anger in his heart. There was no longer any black fog in the cave, as it had all been absorbed into his body. Envoy Wu took out his weapon and slowly waved it at the air.
He was ready to summon another batch of skulls. Each time, a skull with the cultivation level of a late-stage Jin Xian appeared. After a dozen times, he had to stop. This was enough.
He divided the skulls into groups of four and commanded them to charge directly at each other. Meanwhile, he glared at the group in the corner. Everyone could see the murderous intent in his eyes. Whoever dared to move would be the next to die.
Screams rang out in the air once again. Although there were still people who tried to gather together to fight back, they quickly attracted even more Skeletons. Basically, they would be scattered within a few minutes.
Not long after, a Shura would fall, and its body would be devoured by the skeleton, feeding back to the Crow Messenger.
"After you see Pan Xuan activate her shield, hurry up and retreat. The further you run, the better. Inform each other, hurry!" The surrounding cultivators sent voice transmissions to the nearby cultivators.
"Are you ready? I can no longer control the energy in my body. " Gu Zheng also secretly sent a sound transmission to Pan Xuan. The two of them were slightly at the back, and there were many people blocking him in front.
The surrounding people had already been informed by Gu Zheng that he wasn't afraid of death. Instead, he wanted to use their bodies to conceal his absorption of the blood diamonds.
"Yes." Pan Xuan was afraid of attracting Envoy Wu's attention, so she only gave a vague reply, indicating that she understood.
"After I count down from three, you will activate the barrier." Gu Zheng was about to lose control of the surging energy in his body. He had tried his best to suppress it for so long, so that the other party wouldn't notice anything unusual. Now, he was about to reach his limit.
"Three, two, one, activate." As Gu Zheng's voice fell, a miniature barrier rose up, covering the two of them.
At the same time, the surrounding cultivators all scattered, revealing Gu Zheng and Pan Xuan.
Immediately, Envoy Wu looked over. Inside the green transparent cover was the young man who had made him a little wary. Now, he was emitting a frightening aura.
A blood-red diamond was shrinking in a red glove, and he could feel a surge of energy continue to increase in the youth's body.
Bang!
In the next second, Messenger Wu's figure appeared in front of the shield. He fiercely threw a punch at it. To his surprise, the shield only caused a slight ripple. His punch was almost completely absorbed by the shield.
He punched it again. This time, he used all his strength, but other than causing the green barrier to ripple even more, it didn't even shake.
Envoy Wu solemnly took a step back. At this moment, there were only the three of them left, and the others had already run far away.
Seeing the crystal in Gu Zheng's hand disappear, he took out a similar one from a box beside him. His aura was getting stronger, and it seemed like he was about to break through the peak of Jin Xian.
Whoosh!
The skulls outside all returned, surrounding the barrier and attacking. Now, they didn't care about killing the others. If he couldn't stop them in time, he would be facing a fierce battle.
Envoy Wu had already discovered that the barrier was activated by the girl, and the source was the necklace on her neck.
It was actually a defensive necklace. This necklace required extremely precious items, especially something that could withstand a Grand Luo's attack. This person must be a very important person in the Asura Tribe.
He might even be able to talk to the Patriarch. Otherwise, why would he have such a precious treasure?
More importantly, he had to quickly break this tortoise shell. That young man's aura was starting to transform into an Asura. He was actually using a secret technique to forcefully raise his realm.
His point of view was starting to change, and he had become the Asura from before.
It was his fault for chasing after the others first, thinking that what was the use of being at the peak? When the time came, he would stay and torture them together. However, he didn't expect the other party to have such a trick up his sleeve. The item was actually left behind in the main hall. If he had known, he would have taken it all away.
He had looked at it carefully, but he couldn't recognize what it was. It was just a bottle of Phoenix Blood, and he didn't care much about it.
He should have started preparing when he was advancing. There were no signs at all, and he couldn't tell. He hid it well.
Seeing the blood-red crystal in his hand shrink, and then take out a new one, a familiar aura came from him.
Pan Xuan looked at the continuous attacks outside the green shield. She held the button in her hand in fear. Once it was broken, she would pull Gu Zheng away and leave first.
However, what made him feel relieved was that the energy of this necklace was much more powerful, and the protective shield it formed was also abnormally tough. It seemed like it could still last for a long time.
She didn't know what the middle of this necklace was made of. It was condensed from the essence of a late-stage Zenith Heaven Realm expert. She had only refined it briefly, and half of its effect was wasted. Even if only half was left, it wasn't something that Messenger Wu could break in a short time.
If others knew that it was so wasteful, they would definitely beat Brother Serpent to death if they could go back to the past, so that he wouldn't be so wasteful.
At this time, Gu Zheng had already closed his eyes and focused all his energy on controlling his body. Traces of blood began to appear on his skin. This was because he had forcefully absorbed the blood diamond. There was too much energy in his body, and it had begun to damage his body.
A mysterious aura appeared on Gu Zheng's body. Gu Zheng felt a wave of enlightenment. He seemed to have become a part of this world. He could "see" everyone, including all their movements and expressions. When he sensed the main hall, he could even borrow more spiritual energy from this place.
His realm was also rapidly increasing. It was as if someone was forcibly injecting information into his mind. Knowing was knowing, but there was no need for him to know the principles behind it.
At this time, there weren't many blood diamonds left in the box, and Gu Zheng stopped absorbing them. This was enough. Now, he was fully focused on sensing the Zenith Heaven Realm.
Gu Zheng, who was originally motionless, suddenly opened his eyes. He looked at Messenger Wu outside, and in the next second, his body suddenly disappeared in the shield.
Bang!
Messenger Wu turned around and blocked Gu Zheng's punch. He was already wary of the other party. When the other party opened his eyes and saw the light, he already knew that the other party had reached the Zenith Heaven Realm.
After missing his attack, Gu Zheng immediately retreated to Pan Xuan's side. With a punch, he directly scattered a few skeletons. The remaining skeletons were collected by Messenger Wu, who saw that the situation wasn't good.
"Take them and wait at the side. Remember, keep the shield open throughout." Gu Zheng instructed, afraid that the other party would vent his anger on her.
"Okay, got it." Pan Xuan obediently walked around the side.
Messenger Wu watched from the side. He didn't have any intention of attacking. He couldn't break the shield in a short time, so he allowed her to walk past.
Now, his greatest enemy was this young man in front of him. However, he wasn't worried that he would lose, and he had full confidence in defeating him.
The other party also forcefully increased his strength, and his aura wasn't very stable. More importantly, he was originally a Zenith Heaven Realm expert, and he could unleash 100% of his strength.
Previously, the other party was still at the peak of the Jin Xian Realm, and he only used a trick to forcefully reach the Zenith Heaven Realm. How could the other party compare to him in terms of control of strength and timing?
If he was facing a team of Jin Xian Realm experts, this flaw wouldn't matter. However, this was a fatal weakness for someone of the same level.
"Let me see what you're capable of." Messenger Wu suddenly spoke to Gu Zheng. "I'll let you know that it's useless to just have a realm."
"Is that so? Then let's see who's the one being consulted." After such a short period of time, Gu Zheng had already adapted to his current state. Facing the other party's provocation, he didn't show any signs of weakness.
The two of them stared at each other with swords drawn. In the end, Gu Zheng made the first move. He didn't have much time to waste with him.
A massive cyan-coloured sword beam slashed towards Gu Zheng. However, this was just the appetizer. Gu Zheng charged forward with his bare hands and a massive illusory silhouette appeared behind him. Densely packed golden runes flashed within the illusory silhouette.
Messenger Wu was shocked. How did the other party master such a divine ability? It seemed like he was more familiar with it than him. It didn't seem like he had just advanced to the Zenith Heaven Realm.
While he was thinking this, his hands didn't stop moving. A black mountain peak appeared in the sky. Not only did it block Gu Zheng's huge sword, it also pressed down on Gu Zheng.
At the same time, he spat out black balls from his mouth. Although they were only the size of an egg, they quickly turned into huge balls and flew towards Gu Zheng.
When he opened his mouth, a small golden sword shot out from his mouth. It circled in front of him for a while before flying towards the black balls. A few cold lights flashed, and the black balls dissipated in the air.
It fluttered a few times in the air as if it was showing off something. Then, it charged towards Messenger Wu again.
A few thick black spikes shot out from the fan and hit the side of the small sword. The small sword was sent flying with a cry.
At this moment, Gu Zheng arrived in front of Messenger Wu. A golden astral wind flashed from his fist as he punched towards Messenger Wu's head.
Messenger Wu hurriedly dodged and distanced himself from the other party. A black fog emerged from the fan again and turned into a long black rope. It was dozens of feet long and twisted back and forth in the air like a long snake. It coiled around Gu Zheng's body tightly.
Gu Zheng slashed downwards. He realized that although he could cut the black fog apart, the black rope would recover in the blink of an eye. It was originally a ball of fog. There was no way it couldn't be reconnected after it was cut. It only needed to consume a little of the black fog. To it, it didn't matter at all.
Gu Zheng was shocked. His figure became a blur as he dodged left and right, trying to go around it. However, the black rope followed him like a shadow. Its speed was even faster than his, and he couldn't shake it off at all.
Just as he was about to be tied up, the other party took out a fan and gently fanned it. Its speed became faster and faster, and the width of the fan became bigger and bigger. One after another, there was no wind. A gust of wind of dozens of feet appeared out of thin air and swept towards Gu Zheng aggressively.
The other party's black rope followed him closely, waiting for him to slow down. Just as he was about to do something else, the gust of wind had already arrived in front of him, tearing his body apart. He unconsciously slowed down.
"Whoosh" The black rope took advantage of the opportunity and sped up in an instant. It quickly coiled around Gu Zheng's body a few times, binding him from his feet to his shoulders.
The immortal qi in his body became sluggish. The whirlwind blew on Gu Zheng's body and enveloped him. A yellow fog supported Gu Zheng's body. Gu Zheng managed to support the Human Book in time.
The whirlwind was like countless sharp blades that spun crazily on the barrier. A terrifying suction force tried to pull Gu Zheng up.
The yellow fog fluctuated incessantly. It looked like it was about to be broken in the next second, but it firmly blocked it.
Envoy Wu quickly formed a hand seal. A huge black whip appeared in the air and lashed towards Gu Zheng's body.
"Be careful!" Pan Xuan saw Gu Zheng fall and could not help but shout. She did not care whether the other party could hear her or not. Her heart was firmly on him.
Everyone's heart was clenched because everyone knew that their fate was on Gu Zheng. Everyone was silently cheering for Gu Zheng in their hearts.
Gu Zheng stabilized his center of gravity. A ball of golden flames ignited from his body. The black rope was instantly burned into a wisp of black smoke. He broke free from the black rope's control. Gu Zheng did not care about the whirlwind outside. He had sufficient immortal qi. If the other party did not break it immediately, then there would not be a chance to break it. It seemed very dangerous, but in terms of timing, it would only consume some immortal qi.
Gu Zheng stretched out his hand and slashed. The small sword that fell in the distance glowed with golden light again. It jumped up from the ground and the shadow on its body grew bigger and bigger. It turned into a huge golden sword.
It whistled over. First, it split the violent wind like lightning. Only a breeze was left and dissipated.
Then, he stood in front of Gu Zheng and slashed out with his sword. With a spin, the whip disappeared without a trace.
After all this was done, it returned to the small sword's appearance. It excitedly circled around Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng was surprised. He did not expect this small sword to have some spiritual awareness after following him for so long. It seemed that it would produce a weapon spirit soon. It was really inconceivable.
Actually, Gu Zheng did not know. This was because the small sword was usually hidden under his tongue. It could be said that it was constantly nourishing it. Coupled with the cleansing of the Spirit Qi in the hall and secretly absorbing a bit of this world's North Garden, this small sword just happened to produce a trace of spiritual awareness.
Now was not the time to think about this. However, the small sword's power was quite good. At the very least, he did not have to use too much energy.
Gu Zheng stretched out his hand and the small sword automatically grew bigger. It automatically fell into his hand and a few golden sword lights shot out.
Envoy Wu knew that things were not good when Lin Fan broke through his magic technique. He summoned the two skulls again. Their arrogant aura spun around their bodies and they directly swallowed the sword lights.
He knew that he had to take out something. He did not understand why Lin Fan was so familiar with his body. It was as if he had been in this realm before. Lin Fan was able to quickly display his advantage and easily break through his chain of attacks.
Could it be that Lin Fan was the same as him? However, he had clearly just reached that level of cultivation. It was impossible for him to have reached that level before. He could only conclude that Lin Fan was simply too smart to be able to control his body in such a short time.
He threw the fan in his hand forward and a white light shot out. Then, his two pinky fingers fell off. He endured the pain and with a thought, his pinky fingers flew into the skulls' mouths.
After the skulls swallowed Envoy Wu's pinky fingers, even their expressionless faces were filled with joy. Green light continuously flashed as they excitedly flew towards Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng did not know what Lin Fan was trying to do. He had even thrown out his magic treasure. To prevent Lin Fan from tricking him, he let go of the eager small sword. The small sword directly charged forward. It looked like it wanted to clash with Lin Fan.
"Peng!" Lin Fan's fan was actually shattered by the small sword. It turned into countless strands of black mist and scattered in all directions.
However, although the small sword had shattered Lin Fan's fan, it was swaying back and forth in the air. One moment it was going up, the next moment it was going down in a diagonal line. It was as if it was drunk.
Gu Zheng quickly tried to pull it back. However, he found that his connection with the small sword was intermittent. Something was interfering with the small sword, preventing it from being pulled back.
The scattered black mist quickly shrank back and quickly surrounded the small sword. The connection between Lin Fan and the small sword had been completely broken.
Gu Zheng wanted to move again, but the two skulls had already flown over. Four green lights shot out and dyed the defensive barrier formed by the Human Book dark green.
