Gu Zheng abruptly turned around, his Divine Sense gushing out madly in all directions like a tide.
However, everything was quiet around him, and he didn't find anything unusual.
The sky was still clear, and the huge waves in the distance were splashing. Just as Xiangxiang Beila said, they turned into a pool of seawater and rushed towards him. It looked normal.
"Be careful." Gu Zheng immediately said.
"Who are they?" Gu Zheng couldn't help but be vigilant as he asked Xiangxiang Beila.
"They are General Lei's subordinates. General Lei is ordered to guard this large area of the sea. He is terrifyingly strong, and I am very afraid of him." When Xiangxiang Beila mentioned General Lei, her body trembled unconsciously. It seemed that he had traumatized her a lot.
At this time, Xiangxiang Beila also saw that there was no one around, so she carefully let out a breath.
She had clearly hidden the thing that they used to follow her in a hidden place. The other party couldn't have found it so quickly. Perhaps it was an unknown Little Goblin in the sea that dared to sneak attack her. They were really tired of living.
Xiangxiang Beila put her hands on her waist. Under Gu Zheng's strange gaze, she took two steps forward and said loudly, "Hey, where did this Little Goblin come from? How dare you be so presumptuous in front of your great aunt."
He didn't expect such a small Xiangxiang Beila to have such a brave side. However, that tender voice didn't have any deterrence.
"How is it? This is the most shocking shout in the play. The other party will definitely be scared to death." Xiangxiang Beila smiled proudly at Gu Zheng. This was a move that she had practiced for a long time, but she didn't have the chance to use it.
This time, she finally used it. Her whole body felt as comfortable as if she had eaten honey.
"Little Princess, you can't say that." Before Gu Zheng could reply, a faint old voice suddenly appeared in the air.
When Xiangxiang Beila heard the familiar voice, she immediately ran back from the front and hid behind Gu Zheng. She grabbed the corner of Gu Zheng's clothes with both hands. The previous smile was completely gone, and now it was filled with fear.
As the voice fell, an old man who was obviously older appeared in the air. He had white hair and wrinkled skin like old tree roots. Just looking at him gave people goosebumps.
At this moment, he was bending over, holding a green wooden cane in his hand and looking at her. To be exact, he was looking at Xiang Xiang.
"Cough cough, Your Highness, General Lei is very sad about your departure this time. Hurry back, don't let everyone take too long." He coughed twice in the air and said.
As soon as his voice fell, the crutch in his hand pointed at the void, and circles of transparent air waves were emitted from there, sweeping out in all directions.
"I think you should respect her opinion. Since she doesn't want to go back, why force a little girl?" Gu Zheng raised his hand and a green Sword Qi shot out like a bolt of lightning, directly cutting the Qi wave apart and turning it into nothingness.
"Eh, no wonder you dared to escape on your own. Turns out you found a pretty good helper. Cough, cough." The old man coughed twice again. His thin and weak body kept swaying, as if he was going to die in the next moment.
"Who is that? Do you know him?" Gu Zheng asked Xiang Xiang in a low voice.
"He is Old Man Mu Xu. His wood attribute magic is extremely powerful, and he can heal some injuries." Xiang Xiang raised her head and took a quick glance, then lowered her head again.
"Boy, whose disciple are you? Don't you know that there are some things you shouldn't meddle in? Don't get yourself into trouble." Old Man Mu Xu looked at Gu Zheng, who only had the aura of a rank three. He couldn't see through it no matter how hard he tried, which meant that the other party must have a treasure to hide his cultivation.
"No need to test me. I'm alone. I don't belong to any sect." Gu Zheng saw through his plan at a glance. He was really a cunning old man.
"Ignorant kid, I'll teach you how to respect your elders." Old Man Mu Xu's expression changed. He took a step and disappeared from where he was. Shrinking the distance to an inch, he appeared in front of Gu Zheng in the blink of an eye. He raised his hand and struck out with his crutch.
"Bang!" a loud sound was heard.
Gu Zheng directly extended his fist and collided with the old man's crutch. The old man was pushed back, but Gu Zheng's body only swayed a little.
"Physique cultivator? Your body is still very strong. " This attack shocked Old Man Mu Xu. The other party actually used his whole body to receive his attack. Although it was just a casual attack, it was obvious that the other party wasn't weak.
Old Man Mu Xu directly raised his crutch. A green light flashed on the crutch, and dozens of green snakes rose out of thin air and shot directly at Gu Zheng.
"Puff! Puff!
Puff! "Dozens of green liquid spurted out from the flying snakes' mouths. Gu Zheng quickly carried Xiang Xiang and turned sideways, flying towards the Eastern Sea.
Gu Zheng didn't intend to be entangled with the other party. Since Xiang Xiang said that as long as they reached the Eastern Sea, there would naturally be a way to get rid of them. That would be much easier. Who knew if the other party had reinforcements.
"Want to leave? Humph, no way." Old Man Mu Xu suddenly slammed his crutch on the ground. Half of the crutch directly sank into the ground. The surrounding ground cracked, and green light surged in all directions from the ground.
In just a moment, he overtook Gu Zheng. His figure quickly rose from the surrounding lush woods, forming a barrier to block the other party.
"Open for me." Gu Zheng furiously roared and a massive azure sword qi appeared behind him. It brought with it a boundless aura and astral winds as it slashed out horizontally.
Bursts of green light burst out, and the towering trees were directly hit into green light spots. However, the trees seemed to be endless. Even after the sword aura was exhausted, there was still no opening.
Just as an open space was slashed out, trees quickly emerged one after another. In the blink of an eye, they immediately turned into a barrier, blocking the way.
Gu Zheng slammed on the brakes and stopped at the periphery of the woods. He looked around and saw that the surrounding had formed a circle, firmly sealing them in this area.
"Hiss, hiss." Before Gu Zheng could figure out what to do next, dozens of green snakes behind had already caught up. Their slender eyes flashed with a dangerous light. When they were close, they suddenly accelerated.
Gu Zheng turned around, and a bright light lit up in his hand. He was ready to deal with them first.
"Dong Dong"
A few crisp sounds of a small drum came from behind Gu Zheng. Dozens of powerful Qi suddenly appeared in the air and directly strangled the green snakes in mid-air.
Gu Zheng looked back in surprise. He saw Xiang Xiang holding a small rattle-drum in her hand. Her face was bright red. Seeing Gu Zheng looking at her, Xiang Xiang tried hard to stick out her chest and said,
"How is it? I am also very powerful."
Gu Zheng gave a thumbs up to show his approval.
"Leave it to me. Old Man Mu Xu has no weapon. I am not afraid of him." Xiang Xiang was encouraged. Her eyes narrowed to only a slit. She confidently squeezed a few steps forward. The rattle-drum in her hand sounded again. The delicate little red ball kept hitting on the drum. A light wave directly appeared on the surface of Xiang Xiang.
It seemed that she was not stupid. She knew to protect herself first.
Gu Zheng saw that Old Man Mu Xu seemed to be standing in the same place. A green leaf-like barrier protected him. Under his feet, a green circle appeared regularly and wanted to spread around.
He did not show any signs of attacking. In contrast, this heavenly barrier seemed to be easier to break through. However, he still paid some attention to Xiang Xiang, for fear that something would happen to her.
There was a large gap in the middle of the trees, and the length was not very long. Looking from here, he could see the sponge in the distance.
Gu Zheng tried to take a step forward. This was like poking a hornet's nest. The ground at the roots of the trees near him started to roll.
Gu Zheng maintained the posture of taking a step forward. He saw some roots coming out from the ground. It was only a small area, but there were actually several roots.
After charging for a certain distance, all of them suddenly stretched out from the ground, forming a huge woven net in the air. They stabbed towards Gu Zheng at an extremely fast speed.
Gu Zheng frowned and took a step back. Those roots were still rushing towards Gu Zheng. A cold light flashed in the air. Those roots fell and were directly cut in two by Gu Zheng.
As for the remaining roots, they drilled into the ground and disappeared once again.
Gu Zheng looked at the dense trees. If he went in, he was afraid that countless roots would rush towards him. He was afraid that he would not be able to kill them all. The other party was still constantly replenishing them. Who knew what other tricks they had.
Gu Zheng turned his eyes to Elder Mu Xu. Through the layer of green barrier, he could see that Elder Mu Xu had been controlling this large array. Such a large area consumed a lot of energy. But why did the other party give up on attacking and want to trap him?
At this time, Xiangxiang was controlling her snare drum. She kept hitting it in her hand. With the sound of hitting, a small green snake appeared in the air.
Now there were more than a hundred small snakes surrounding the other side, constantly biting the other party's defense.
Unfortunately, the power seemed to be a little weak. If there was no accident, they would not be able to break the other party's defense in a hundred years.
However, Xiangxiang Beila's face was full of excitement. She had never vented so freely before. Her little face was flushed red. This was already the limit of her control.
Elder Mu Xu closed his eyes. He did not even care about the small green snake. It seemed that he was going to defend until the end.
Since this large area was not easy to break through, it seemed that the best way to win was to kill Elder Mu Xu first.
"Xiangxiang, move aside. Let me do it." Gu Zheng saw Xiangxiang retreat to the side. His whole body was like a comet. He suddenly accelerated and directly rushed over.
An unusually bright light appeared from Gu Zheng's hand. He directly punched without hesitation.
"Bang!" A muffled sound.
Half of Gu Zheng's body had already entered the green barrier. The whole green barrier was squeaking under the pressure. But with its great toughness, it still held on.
The rings below flickered more frequently. One after another, huge cracks appeared on the ground. It actually transferred part of Gu Zheng's strength to the ground.
"Whoosh!" Gu Zheng, who had used all his strength, was directly rebounded.
Gu Zheng plowed the ground with his double horns. Two half-meter deep furrows appeared on the ground. Half of Gu Zheng's body was almost buried in the ground. Only then did the rebounding force disappear.
"Are you okay?" Xiangxiang hurried over and looked at Gu Zheng nervously.
Gu Zheng shook his head and jumped to the side. Looking at the defense that was more difficult to deal with than a tortoise shell, he frowned.
He could not take out many of his magic treasures, even the backup immortal sword. Otherwise, with just a layer of defense, even if his strength was reduced, he would not be in such a difficult situation.
The other party blocked them in such a large area. The defense was definitely not that strong.
"You see, don't waste your time. I have already informed the others. They will come together soon. You should surrender obediently and save yourself some pain." Elder Mu Xu opened his eyes at this time. Seeing that the other party could not break through his defense, he also breathed a sigh of relief.
He only needed to buy some time. At that time, they would not be able to escape even if they wanted to.
"Is that so?" The other party's words confirmed his thoughts. It was really to besiege them. Waiting for everyone to come together was really a good plan.
Gu Zheng's eyes revealed a dangerous look. With a light snap of his right hand, a white flame the size of a finger appeared on his ten fingers.
Gu Zheng blew lightly. The flame on his fingertips also flew out. The small flame looked so pitiful. It was actually almost extinguished in the breeze. However, it still drifted slowly toward Elder Mu Xu.
"Are you crazy? You actually made such a ridiculous attack. It seems that you have exhausted all your abilities. I still say the same thing. If you surrender earlier, I can let you die quickly." Elder Mu Xu felt it and found that the aura from the flame was extremely weak. It was so weak that he could extinguish it with a breath.
Gu Zheng secretly wiped the sweat from his heart. Of course, this was not the Cleansing Glass Fire. It was also not as weak as Elder Mu Xu said.
This was the seed of the Pure Flame that he had extracted from the Li Ring when he was studying it. It was probably not much bigger than a speck of dust. Then, he used it as the core and Immortal Qi as the fuel to form a new type of flame.
In fact, it was a simplified version of the Cleansing Glass Fire. If it wanted to burn someone to death, it would probably be useless against those above the Heaven Immortal level. It was only effective against those who had not become immortals.
However, why did Gu Zheng still use this move? Because his purpose was the opponent's vigorous immortal Qi. One must know that there was nothing that the Cleansing Glass Fire could not burn. He added some extra fuel to it and the opponent was not prepared at all.
Even he might be hit by it. Because he had to maintain a defensive state all the time.
Under the disdainful gaze of Elder Muxu and the excited eyes of Xiangxiang, the drop of flame slowly drifted over and gently fell on the green protective cover. Closely after that, it disappeared with a whoosh.
"Haha, are you trying to laugh the Old Man to death and then escape?" Elder Mu Xu had never seen such a funny scene.
Gu Zheng also smiled. He had never seen a target that did not fight back. There were fewer and fewer fools in this world. To think that he could meet one. How lucky.
Before Elder Mu Xu's smile disappeared, he suddenly found a white flame burning in front of him. It happened to be burning outside the shield. What made him even more shocked was that there were also sporadic flames in the forest outside.
Moreover, these flames did not burn the transformed trees. Instead, they attached themselves to them and continued to expand the range of the flames. Soon, the surroundings were engulfed in a sea of fire.
Elder Mu Xu felt the immortal Qi in his body flowing away like water. Only then did Elder Mu Xu understand the opponent's intention.
"Damn it, the opponent actually used such a despicable method."
"Bang." With a loud sound, Elder Mu Xu's shield shattered. At the same time, the trees outside the shield also disappeared.
Elder Mu Xu's face was pale. Even the walking stick in his hand had some burn marks. Wisps of green essence were constantly twining around it. Elder Mu Xu absorbed it into his body to heal his injuries.
Although the opponent's decisive self-destruction succeeded in stopping the flames from burning him, it was at the cost of sacrificing all the immortal Qi outside.
Gu Zheng could tell at a glance that Elder Mu Xu could no longer cast spells. There was not even a tenth of the immortal Qi left in his body. It could be said that he could not fight anymore.
"Let's go, Xiangxiang." Gu Zheng looked at him coldly. He was ready to take Xiangxiang's hand and leave.
Xiangxiang's face was filled with excitement. Because she also participated in the battle, she had an inexplicable sense of victory.
Elder Mu Xu could only watch them leave angrily. There was nothing he could do. Suddenly, his ears moved. The surprise on his face grew. He did not expect Xiao Yitian to arrive so quickly. He even set up a formation in such a short time. As expected of Xiao Yitian.
Green ripples appeared on his body. His body began to blur. The next moment, he disappeared.
Gu Zheng and Xiangxiang ran forward quickly. But when they were about to enter the East Sea, Gu Zheng suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?" Xiangxiang was completely convinced of Gu Zheng's powerful combat strength. He actually defeated the difficult Elder Mu Xu. He was much stronger than her.
"Don't you think the sea level seems to be a little calm?" Gu Zheng said faintly. The seawater under their feet had already surged to the seaside. It seemed that everything was normal.
"Yeah, it's rarely so calm. Could it be that our luck is really good?" The careless Xiangxiang said happily. She felt that her luck was really good today.
First, they met Elder Mu Xu who was relatively weak in combat strength. Even the East Sea was so calm. Heaven was really helping her.
Gu Zheng was really speechless. He did not want to say anything. He really did not have any hope for the naive Xiangxiang. He did not have any extra vigilance.
"I seem to have said something wrong?" Xiangxiang saw Gu Zheng's expression. She seemed to know that the situation was similar to what he had imagined. She naughtily stuck out her tongue. However, she did not have any other awareness of danger.
"If only you could be a little smarter. Why do you have to give everyone such a headache?" Accompanied by a voice, a young man who looked very bright suddenly appeared in front of them.
With his appearance, the surrounding scene changed. The scene in front of them was not the same as before. They were surrounded by yellow sand. The sand under their feet was all over the sky. Their area was calm.
