"They're advancing. What should we do below? They'll be out of range in less than a minute." A person hiding in a house shouted softly. He was in charge of reporting the other party's direction and movements.
There were four people below him. They stood in different positions and were using some kind of array to control the thunderclouds.
Each of them had different traces of battle. Now, their bodies were steaming and their faces were red. They were focused on controlling the array.
An older middle-aged man couldn't help but frown when he heard this.
They were barely controlling the array. They couldn't move the black clouds even if they wanted to.
The previous battle had used up a lot of immortal qi. Now, everyone was injured.
This time, they were waiting for the right time to ambush them. They couldn't use any more moves in a hurry. They were all focused on controlling the black clouds above.
They couldn't fight them face to face. They were just low-level puppets. If the other party saw them, they could directly order them.
"One last big wave. Damn it, attack with all your strength. Don't hold back. Retreat after you're done." The middle-aged man cursed. He knew that he couldn't stop the other party at all.
If they were a little later, it would be too late. The other party would walk out of the attack range.
Everyone nodded and increased the immortal qi input without holding back.
The black clouds above rolled again. The Shura could clearly feel the changes above. It seemed to be brewing a thunderous attack. They all increased their speed. They all realized that the black clouds were so rigid. They didn't move with them.
A small silver dragon suddenly appeared from the clouds and directly swooped down. In the process of flying, its body suddenly expanded. From the initial size of a few feet, it directly turned into a huge silver dragon with a length of several feet.
Small electric arcs jumped all over its body. It charged at the few people behind it and roared.
Now, most of them had walked out of the attack range. Only these few people were still behind.
At this time, the lightning in the sky had disappeared. Even the clouds shrank. All the energy was concentrated on the silver dragon.
Only this shining silver dragon was left in the world.
The Shuras at the front saw that the thunderclouds had dissipated and that there was no longer any danger. They all took out their weapons and shot out rays of light towards the silver dragon. A few flying swords also rushed up, turning into massive swords as they slashed towards the silver dragon.
The dragon opened its mouth and spat out a silver ball, which exploded in mid-air.
Electric arcs filled the sky and shot in all directions. The aura that was flying over dissipated in midair. The huge swords were also surrounded by electric arcs and were nailed in the air, unable to move forward. The other spells were also blocked by the electric arcs.
In the next second, the giant dragon crashed into the Shura at the back. That side of the shield was broken like paper. The giant dragon opened its mouth and swallowed him from head to toe.
The silver dragon's body started to swell. The Shura had not died and wanted to break out of its body. The silver dragon swung its tail and sent the people in front of it flying while it flew into the sky.
"Boom!" a loud sound rang out
The silver dragon suddenly exploded in mid-air. The silver light kept splashing out like shooting stars. It was very beautiful.
A figure fell from the sky. The people below quickly caught him, only to find that his body had been burned into a blank. He had died long ago. Now, only a shell was left.
"Not good. Come with me." The leader of the Shura slapped his head and quickly brought two people to the roof above.
However, he saw a few figures fleeing in the distance.
Before he could say anything, the other party disappeared into the forest. At the same time, white smoke rose from the edge of the forest. It was obvious that they were hiding their tracks so that he could not chase after them.
"Damn it, they got away." He had thought about it before. It should be the work of those lowly people. Moreover, Master Ouyang had already warned him.
However, he had been vigilant along the way. He did not expect to be ambushed by the other party.
The other party hid further away. Although the power of the spells decreased and they could not control it flexibly, the other party successfully killed two people on his side.
Normally, the silver dragon should have exploded below. That was the best way to kill the other party. However, in the end, the silver dragon abnormally flew into the sky, attracting their attention and delaying them.
By the time they reacted, they had already missed the best opportunity. They had successfully escaped.
When he returned, he saw two people lying on the ground dead. The others were also in a sorry state. This really made him furious.
He simply put this clansman aside. The most important thing now was the stone tower. They could only settle it when they returned.
Along the way, they were vigilant of their surroundings. The two of them even set off on the roof. Although the other party might not take the risk to come back, they did not relax.
Knowing that they had reached the bottom of the stone tower, there was an open space around them. There was no place to hide. Only then did they relax.
Looking at the long sword above the stone tower, which was emitting a terrifying power, the red light swept over them. There was no abnormality. It was still motionless. The leader of the Shura took a deep breath. With a wave of his hand, all the clansmen behind him followed.
"Everyone, continue forward. Everyone, follow closely. Pay attention to the abnormalities around you."
There was no one ambushing them on the way. Everyone finally reached the bottom of the stone tower. Their tense hearts relaxed.
Looking at the flickering red grid in front of them, which was eroding the stone tower, everyone sighed. They were very curious about how this thing got entangled.
Everyone knew that the stone tower was sturdy. Even Jin Xian's full power attack could not leave a mark on it. However, standing below, they could clearly feel the stone tower trembling.
It was as if something was trying to pull it out.
"Everyone, split up and search. Two people in a group." Now that there were only six people, they could split into three groups.
Soon, the three groups finished their discussion. One group entered the stone tower, while the other two went around and started searching.
The stone tower was not big, but it was not small either. After a while, the two groups outside made half a circle and finally met up behind the stone tower.
There was a black circular hole on the stone tower. The two groups searched back and forth a few times. Other than the blood-red veins, this was the only one that was special.
They could guarantee that this black hole did not exist before. It must have appeared recently. Thinking about the abnormality now, it was very likely that this black hole had appeared just now.
Now, the four of them stood there and looked at each other. Everyone could feel the suction from this black hole. Although it was not very strong, no one wanted to touch it.
They found traces of a person beside it. However, the final result showed that the person had entered the black hole.
"Why don't we wait outside? He will appear sooner or later," one of the Shura suggested.
"I think so too. We don't know what's going on inside. Too many things have happened recently. We should be careful. As long as this stone tower is still here, it's fine. I don't believe that anyone can move it away."
After hearing this, the member in the same group as him quickly agreed and expressed his thoughts.
"That's fine. Then, one group will guard here. The other group will patrol the surroundings to prevent any sudden attacks." The other group agreed. Now that so many people had died, and with You Xing's betrayal, everyone felt that a storm was coming.
So, the two groups moved separately. The group that stayed behind was the one that had suggested not to enter at first. The two of them stayed a little further away, holding their weapons and guarding the black hole.
The other group began to explore the vicinity of the stone tower, making sure that they did not miss a single spot.
After a while, there was a sudden noise in front of the stone tower. It was very loud, and there were some voices. It seemed to be the voices of the other group.
The two looked in front and immediately rushed to the front to see what was going on. Just as they reached the door, the other group came from the side.
"What's going on? Why can't they come out?" One person looked in front of him in shock and said to the person next to him.
The group that had entered was attacking the light screen in front of them with all their might. However, no matter what attacks they used, they only caused a small ripple. They could not break the light screen at all.
There was a new member next to them. He must have stayed inside to cultivate and lost track of time, so he did not go out.
"We can't go out now. When we came in just now, we tried it ourselves. We could still go in and out, but in the blink of an eye, this light screen appeared and blocked the door." The leader was also inside. He had volunteered to search the tower.
"Yun Ming, see what's going on. You guys can try to open it from outside," the leader said loudly from inside.
Yun Ming walked forward. The light screen was closer to the inside. He reached out his hand to test it. Just as his hand reached in and touched the light screen, a huge force sent him flying.
This time, the people inside were dumbfounded. The people outside did not expect the light screen to be so fierce. They saw that Yun Ming had only touched it lightly, and his whole body was sent flying.
Soon, Yun Ming returned. He shook his head, indicating that he was fine. The group began to think of a way to save the people inside.
When Gu Zheng's vision turned dark and he reappeared, he found himself in an unfamiliar place. There was only a black stone bridge beneath him. Opposite him was a tower that was dozens of zhang tall. Behind him was a bottomless void. The distance was covered by black gas, making it impossible to see clearly.
After thinking for a moment, Gu Zheng knew that he had been sucked in by a black hole. Looking around, it seemed that he had entered the stone tower. The tower opposite him looked very familiar.
The entire tower was half blood-red and half bright white. The bright white area was gradually disappearing, eroded by the blood-red color.
His eyes were attracted by a ray of light at the top of the tower. From there, he could sense the aura outside. It seemed that if he wanted to leave, he would have to climb to the top of the tower.
Apart from this, there were also stones of different sizes floating in the sky. Those stones were like enlarged luminous pearls, flashing in the air. There was a stone bridge in front of him, but there were no guardrails on the sides. It looked more like a wooden bridge.
The bridge was not very long, at most 100 meters. Normally, he would be able to cross this distance in less than a breath's time. However, this black hole was caused by that mysterious black light. He did not know who had released it, so he had to be careful.
Gu Zheng prepared himself and tried to enter the bridge. As soon as he entered, he felt as if he was a little bird entering the sea from the sky. His entire body was surrounded by a thick liquid.
Even something as simple as raising his hand was twice as slow as a normal person.
He raised his foot with great effort and slowly walked forward. This feeling was simply too torturous. It felt as if there was a liquid constantly pressing down on him.
After his probing, he realized that there was nothing. Therefore, this short 100 meters seemed a little far.
After a while, Gu Zheng had only walked one-third of the way. It was too taxing on his mental and physical strength. Looking at the tower in front of him, he felt that it had shrunk a lot. Moreover, Gu Zheng had a feeling that this path would not be so simple.
After taking a few more steps forward, a relatively small stone in the sky lit up. It drew a diagonal line and directly crashed toward Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng quickly stabilized his center of gravity and activated his defense. Just now, Gu Zheng took out the Magistrate Pen to see if it was the same. In the end, he found that its speed was too slow. It was only a little faster than him. There was no need to talk about other magic treasures.
With a bang, the stone hit the shield and shattered into pieces. Gu Zheng's figure swayed. The impact was not very strong, but his face did not relax.
If he guessed correctly, this was just the beginning.
Sure enough, after taking a few more steps, another bright light flashed in the sky. It also hit the shield. This time, the force was stronger than the last time.
Gu Zheng's sharp senses discovered that the powder of the crushed stones had melted into the bridge when they fell, while the larger ones were still on the bridge. He could feel that the stagnant force in the air had become a little stronger.
Gu Zheng tried his best to walk another one-third of the way. At this time, every step required all the immortal qi in his body to tear apart these obstacles.
He panted and threw a pill into his mouth to recover a little. Looking back, there was a thick fog behind him. He did not know if he could go back.
Gu Zheng took a few more steps. Two stones fell from the sky. One was the same as before. It rushed directly from the bridge, and the other crashed fiercely from the side.
At the same time, the two stones hit the defense formed by the Human Book. The surface of the shield flashed wildly. In any case, it blocked.
However, Gu Zheng's feet had moved to the side. The stones were bigger than before. The force of the impact was also stronger.
If he continued to walk down, it was very likely that the force from the side would knock him out. He did not have time to adjust the angle.
It would only take a short time for the stones to fall to his side.
Looking at the close distance, Gu Zheng was now in a bit of a dilemma. He tried his best to think of a way to directly block it.
Gu Zheng did not have to worry about climbing up the tower now. Because as he approached, the tower was slowly shrinking. The door of light on the tower was also falling.
The red color had already occupied more than half of the tower. It looked like it would be completely occupied soon.
Gu Zheng's eyes kept looking around to see if there was any mystery outside.
After a long time, he helplessly retracted his eyesight. No matter how he looked, he could not see anything.
He saw that the Li Ring on his arm was still tirelessly absorbing the energy of the ring. He did not know why it was so thirsty.
At this time, the ring was already on his hand. It was completely exposed. It seemed that in this situation, with the Li Ring holding it, there was no way to hide.
Gu Zheng did not understand the use of the ring. He had only learned how to teleport.
Thinking of this, Gu Zheng suddenly realized that if this place was built by the shura, there must be a way to pass through.
He looked up and saw that there were still a few giant stones. The stones were dozens of times bigger than before. They were like giant stone balls. Most of the light came from them.
When Gu Zheng saw this, he was already troubled. It was impossible for him to block such a large sphere. That was why he was troubled.
He felt that the ring in his hand was full of energy. Although the Li Ring had absorbed a lot of it, there was still a lot left.
He controlled the Li Ring according to the method Pan Xuan had taught him. He immersed his mind and thought that there was an empty space in front of him.
When Gu Zheng successfully activated it, he found that he was still in the same place. He felt that he could pass through, and he had successfully activated the energy inside the ring. He could even feel the fluctuations on his wrist.
Could it be that this place did not allow it? Was it blocked by this special illusion? He wondered.
He saw the ring in his hand fall off. Six red lights appeared in front of him. They started to connect, forming circles that kept spinning.
Little red lights flashed from the edges. They became brighter and brighter. They spun faster and faster. In the end, Gu Zheng could only see a line stop in the air.
The ring was spinning too fast. Even Gu Zheng's eyes could not keep up with its speed.
The obstruction around him was quickly decreasing. It was obvious that his body was much more relaxed.
When the ring was at its brightest, four strange runes suddenly appeared in front of him. They lit up and started to spin. They slowly moved forward.
Gu Zheng realized that when the runes appeared, the obstruction around him disappeared. But when he left, the invisible obstruction came back.
Gu Zheng quickly followed the runes. The runes started to spin at a constant speed. Gu Zheng followed behind them.
With them opening a path, the stones did not seem to notice Gu Zheng. They stayed in the air. This made Gu Zheng feel a lot more at ease.
The further the runes went, the slower they spun. Even the light on the runes dimmed. It felt like they could not hold on any longer.
However, under Gu Zheng's worried gaze, it still swayed as it charged across the bridge before finally turning into a beam of light and disappearing.
