Feeling a gust of wind behind him, Gu Zheng didn't even think about it. He continued to roll and crawl forward. He felt the ground beneath him tremble, so he quickly stood up to take a look.
The strange snake was already pressing down on Gu Zheng's previous position. If Gu Zheng had reacted a little slower, he would have been turned into a pile of meat paste.
"Too fierce." Gu Zheng had only exchanged two blows with the snake, but he could already feel its fierceness. He hadn't been paying attention and had been suppressed by the snake.
He hadn't expected that without that strange smoke form, its full strength would be even more terrifying.
As Gu Zheng stood up, he took out a mirror. Two streams of black and white energy flashed out of the mirror and nailed the strange snake to its body.
The strange snake, which was just about to leap into the air, suddenly froze and fell to the ground.
Gu Zheng saw that the snake's first reaction was not to spit out lightning, but to struggle. He knew that the snake couldn't spit out that deadly lightning indefinitely.
However, Gu Zheng didn't have time to catch his breath. He took out the Twin Jade Pearls from his chest and was about to launch a new round of attacks. However, the strange snake's body suddenly burned with purple flames, and it instantly broke free.
"Whoosh." A huge flame shot out from the sky. The ancient mirror flashed, and a smooth mirror appeared in front of Gu Zheng, blocking the snake's attack.
However, the strange snake had already attacked again. There was a cracking sound from the mirror, and the strange snake, covered in purple flames, smashed through the shield. With a vast aura, it stretched out its claws and flew towards Gu Zheng again.
Helpless, Gu Zheng threw out the Twin Jade Pearls. They flashed in the air and turned into a huge transparent brocade box. It was as big as two rooms, and it surrounded Gu Zheng and Xiang Xiang.
With a loud bang, the strange snake's body slammed into the brocade box. However, the brocade box didn't move, and the strange snake was sent flying.
The serpent flew into a rage out of humiliation. It didn't expect the tortoise's shell to be so tough. It extended its sharp claws and swiped at the tortoise again.
"Zi Zi Zi Zi" A teeth-numbing sound came from the sky. What made Gu Zheng feel gratified was that this pair of jade pearls was indeed a pseudo-Xiantian item. The opponent's attack didn't even cause any ripples, which made him feel very safe.
As long as he used his transcendent artifact once, not to mention whether or not he could injure the other party, the other party could just send a bolt of purple lightning at him and he would lose control of his transcendent artifact. It was no different from not having it.
Luckily, he still had Shuang Zhu Yu outside to block for him. Now, the outside of the brocade box was already burning with purple flames, but Gu Zheng felt that the exhaustion in his body was very little. It seemed that the opponent's attack was still unable to shake Shuang Zhu Yu's defense.
Inside, he could clearly see that the strange snake was getting more and more agitated. It didn't even care that it was constantly crashing into the wall as it tried to break through the defense.
But no matter how hard he tried, the brocade box didn't even shake. Even though its body was covered in blood, it was still trying its best to attack. Clearly, it was also very impatient.
The purple flames that filled the sky were suddenly all sucked into the air. The strange snake's head suddenly swelled up, directly swelling to more than three times its original size. It looked very uncoordinated with its body.
In an instant, it opened its mouth, and purple light started to flicker in its mouth. A super large purple lightning slowly started to form. It seemed that the opponent also knew that it had to use its trump card. All the purple lightning produced in its body was gathered. This time, it had to break the opponent's tortoise shell and then kill the opponent.
Gu Zheng's expression also became serious. He didn't know if Shuang Zhu Yu could block the other strange attacks. If he lost control of it, he wouldn't have anything to block the opponent's attack.
He gathered the remaining immortal qi in his body and poured it all into Shuang Zhu Yu. Even the surface of the brocade box flashed with a layer of misty white light.
Just as the huge lightning in the strange snake's mouth was about to form and the strange snake was about to spit it out, two figures attacked from the distance. One on the left and one on the right, they directly surrounded the strange snake.
Gu Zheng looked. It turned out that it was the two black and white balls. He didn't know when they had digested the two scales that had fallen off. Now, they were directly rushing towards the strange snake.
Just at the critical moment, they blocked the strange snake's attack. The lightning struck the black and white balls. One side of the black and white balls was suddenly squeezed out of a protrusion of lightning. It directly stretched a little more than ten feet, like a big balloon.
But in the end, it didn't break through the defense of the black and white balls. The purple lightning directly burst out from the balls.
Reality proved that even if it was his own attack, the strange snake couldn't avoid the attack. The purple lightning couldn't break through the barrier formed by the two colored balls. It could only burst out from the balls.
The black and white balls were filled with purple lightning arcs, and the strange snake couldn't help but directly stiffen. Moreover, some parts of its body were penetrated by the lightning arcs, and large amounts of purple blood flowed out.
And the black and white balls, which were completely fine, began to slowly spin. Gu Zheng saw a look of despair in the strange snake's eyes.
Looking at this platform, it was very restrained. If he fought with it outside, the final result would be that he would be exhausted of his immortal power, and then be caught and killed.
Looking at the black and white balls spinning faster and faster, the strange snake's figure gradually couldn't be seen clearly, only a large amount of purple swaying in front of his eyes.
No wonder the strange snake didn't dare to come forward before. It was not easy to come up, and it had to cut off its tail to survive and change back to its true body to buy some time.
In the end, when the time was up, it still couldn't kill Gu Zheng. Its wish also failed. It was trapped in the black and white balls and fell to such a state.
Gu Zheng didn't remove the protection of the two pearls until the black and white balls stopped again. Gu Zheng saw that at this time, there was nothing left inside, not even a residue.
And the two small balls separated again, completely ignoring Gu Zheng. They turned into two small balls and continued to stick to the ground, swimming back and forth, returning to the appearance that Gu Zheng saw when he came.
At this time, Gu Zheng finally heaved a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that the black and white balls would charge at him, and he wouldn't be able to stop them. Fortunately, nothing bad happened.
At this time, Gu Zheng removed the protection of the two pearls, turning into a ray of light and returning to his hand. He gently stroked the surface of the two pearls, feeling the slightly rough surface, and looking at the two different gold and silver whirlpools spinning on it.
He sighed in his heart. This was indeed a good thing, but it was a pity that he couldn't show it to the public. What a pity.
The moment he relaxed, Gu Zheng felt that his entire body was incomparably sore. After resting for a while and treating the wounds on his body, Gu Zheng recalled the ancient mirror in the air.
If it hadn't bought him some time, he wouldn't have been able to take out the two pearls.
Gu Zheng's spiritual will moved, and the distant Li Huan only flew up slightly, then fell back down with a 'ding dang'. The longsword was even worse, it didn't even have any reaction.
At this time, there was still a trace of purple smoke on their bodies, and it was still blocking his spiritual will, so they couldn't respond to his summons.
With no other choice, Gu Zheng could only stand up with difficulty, feeling the unbearable pain in his back. As he walked, he could clearly feel a trace of blood seeping out of his back.
Gu Zheng didn't ask about this, and continued to limp towards his longsword, because it was very close to him. He bent down and picked up the longsword. Seeing that the purple smoke was still stubbornly clinging to it, Gu Zheng reached out and swiped at it.
"Puchi" The smoke was directly wiped away by Gu Zheng's tyrannical strength, but at the same time, Gu Zheng's expression changed abruptly. He quickly turned his head, and saw a black dot suddenly appear in the air, flying towards Xiang Xiang at lightning speed.
When the black dot ignored the shield outside, and directly entered between Xiang Xiang's eyebrows, Gu Zheng had just turned his body, a trace of horror on his face.
Because when he wiped away the purple smoke, he could clearly feel that it still contained the strange snake's aura, and he could feel that the strange snake was not completely dead.
However, although he reacted in an instant, his body was already unable to react in time, and he couldn't even throw out the longsword in his hand in time. He could only watch as the black dot entered Xiang Xiang's body.
From the aura that exploded from the black dot, it was the strange snake's aura, but the black and white ball didn't react at all, as if the other party's aura was too weak to attract their attention.
"Xiang Xiang." Gu Zheng quickly ran over and hugged Xiang Xiang's body, ignoring the fact that he had already exhausted his immortal qi, and probed into her body, only to find that it was a mess inside.
The black gas that had been suppressed earlier was now completely rioting. Under the command of a mysterious power, it once again surged into Xiangxiang Beila's internal organs. However, Gu Zheng could not find any trace of the black dot no matter how hard he tried.
And Xiang Xiang's body had no command, so she couldn't block the other party's invasion. Some of the black Qi even sensed his existence and counterattacked.
Gu Zheng suddenly opened his eyes outside, and a mouthful of blood directly spat out from the air, landing on the ground in the shape of a plum blossom.
Gu Zheng looked at Xiang Xiang's scrunched up face, and her small hands clenched tightly. He could clearly feel her pain, and a faint black Qi appeared between her brows.
Not to mention that Gu Zheng was currently powerless to help Xiang Xiang relieve the black Qi in her body, even if he had enough immortal qi, he didn't do anything to the black Qi before. Now that the strange snake was commanding it, it was even more difficult. If he wasn't careful, he could cause Xiang Xiang's body to explode.
Who would have thought that the strange snake could still stubbornly leave a trace in such a situation? One had to know that he had repeatedly scanned that place, and there was nothing unusual at all.
Just as Gu Zheng was painstakingly thinking of a solution, he found that there was a burst of black fog outside, surging over from all directions.
It rushed towards him fearlessly. Although a part of it was illuminated by the white light and disappeared on the way, the black fog continued to appear, and there was no end to it. Now, the black Qi on Xiang Xiang's body was getting thicker and thicker.
Gu Zheng could even see her small face suddenly smiling evilly, and then it would turn into a painful expression, and the black Qi on her face would become more and more serious.
Now, the entire platform was floating with black fog, and it looked a little strange.
But in such a situation, the two black and white balls still ignored it, pretending not to see it, and continued to play leisurely, as if it was none of their business.
Seeing that the black and white balls were so useless, Gu Zheng hurriedly opened the box with the two jade pearls. He wanted to take out the green leaf to temporarily slow down Xiang Xiang's situation.
However, he found that when he opened the box, the blue bead that he had previously obtained seemed to have sensed something the moment he opened the box. A blue light spontaneously appeared, forming a fan-shaped ray of light that directly dispersed all the black fog within.
Gu Zheng was taken aback. He didn't understand that the blue bead had such a function, but this didn't stop Gu Zheng from immediately taking it and the leaf out.
Gu Zheng took out the blue bead, suspended it in the air, and aimed it at Xiang Xiang.
He didn't need to control it. The fan-shaped blue light enveloped Xiangxiang Beila's body. The black fog around her was dispersed, and the black fog outside didn't dare to enter. It was as if there was an invisible resistance that was preventing them from entering.
Seeing this, Gu Zheng was slightly relieved. He hurriedly controlled the leaf to float towards Xiang Xiang, but something that made Gu Zheng extremely depressed happened. The blue light didn't seem to recognize anything, and it actually blocked his leaf.
Gu Zheng remembered that he hadn't had time to refine this thing because he didn't have the time to do so. Furthermore, this thing was very strange. Now, it was just the blue bead acting spontaneously, so of course, it would block him.
This made Gu Zheng very depressed. Just as Gu Zheng was about to move the blue bead a little, something unexpected happened.
He saw Xiang Xiang's body shrink rapidly as her entire body flew into the air, flying towards the blue ball. Before Gu Zheng could react, Xiang Xiang's body had already disappeared, sucked into the blue ball, leaving only the lonely blue light shining there.
Gu Zheng was stunned. This series of changes made him feel a little confused. How could it suddenly become like this?
After the black fog lost Xiang Xiang's figure, it stopped surging. The black fog slowly stopped on the platform and gradually began to dissipate, evaporated by the white light.
At this time, Gu Zheng blinked and understood what had happened.
With a swish, Gu Zheng left a phantom in place and directly appeared beside the blue ball. He carefully took it in his hand and observed the situation inside.
He saw Xiang Xiang lying horizontally in the air at this time, still unconscious, as if there was something invisible supporting her below, and less than ten feet below her was the turbulent sea.
It was obvious that the originally calm sea had begun to shake, and some of the water had already touched Xiang Xiang's body.
Gu Zheng retracted his divine sense, wanting to bring Xiang Xiang out, but he couldn't go in at all. Even if he stood in front of the blue light, he could only feel a trace of pulling force.
The feeling that the blue ball gave him was that it was full, and could not support a second person. Unless he damaged the blue ball, he could not go in.
Gu Zheng couldn't do anything about it. The space inside it could hold living things, it seemed that it was really an amazing thing. At first, Gu Zheng thought that it was just a magical weapon that could send out waves.
At this time, the blue ball did not emit any light, but from time to time, there would be some blue clouds flowing around its body.
Gu Zheng once again probed it with his divine sense, and found that the sea inside had already roared, and a burst of turbulent waves hit Xiang Xiang's body. Xiang Xiang's face was pale, and every time a wave came, it would cause her whole body to tremble.
But Gu Zheng was really powerless, he could only watch Xiang Xiang suffer inside. Gu Zheng kept looking, trying to find a way to save her. The waves slowly became bigger and bigger.
A wave came down, and Xiang Xiang's figure was hidden inside. One after another, the waves almost made Gu Zheng unable to see her figure. Moreover, the scale of the waves was getting bigger and bigger, and was about to form the scale of a tsunami.
When the first surging tsunami hit Xiang Xiang's body with ruthless power, Gu Zheng suddenly found that a black gas was directly brought out by the tsunami, and in the blink of an eye, it was crushed by the pressure of the tsunami.
Gu Zheng's eyes were wide open, regardless of the fatigue of his body, he looked at all this.
"Maybe this blue bead is treating Xiang Xiang." A sudden idea came into Gu Zheng's mind, although it was ridiculous, the next situation seemed to confirm Gu Zheng's idea.
Soon the second and third tsunami hit in a very regular way, this time Gu Zheng saw it clearly, every impact would bring out a trace of black gas from Xiang Xiang's body.
Although Xiang Xiang's body seemed to be trembling, in fact, when the waves came in contact with her, many hidden blue dots burst into Xiang Xiang's body, and when they came out again, they were already mixed with black gas. The blue dots were very small, so if one did not look carefully, they would not be able to see it clearly.
Gu Zheng also looked for a long time before he found the traces in it, his heart was a little relieved, at least the blue bead was beneficial and harmless now, when he went out, as long as he sacrificially refined this bead, he would be able to release Xiang Xiang.
It just so happened that he had no way to deal with the black gas for the time being, then he would use the bead to heal her.
Thinking of this, Gu Zheng continued to put the blue bead in the twin jade beads, put away the other things, and quietly meditated.
Half a month later, Gu Zheng used 90% of his immortal qi, finally opened the water door, and quickly rushed in.
Gu Zheng could only keep this door open for ten seconds, and then it would close again. Previously, Gu Zheng wanted to adjust his breathing after opening it, but in the end, he could only watch as the door closed again.
Otherwise, he would have already left seven days ago. At this time, Xiang Xiang's situation was much better than before, he could clearly see that the black gas on her face had completely disappeared.
And at this time, outside the pagoda, the people were still on alert. They were patrolling in an orderly manner. The moment Gu Zheng went out, the red lantern on the pagoda suddenly extinguished without a sound. Although the color outside was still red, the candlelight inside had already disappeared.
At the top of the pagoda, two figures descended from above, looked at the distant Sea City, and whispered:
"Looks like this time we can get it done once and for all, really rest."
They turned into two huge crabs, and continued to guard in front of the stone door.
In Sea City, the huge pagoda in the center began to flash with a glimmer of light, but except for a few people, no one cared, because the huge pagoda would shine like this every once in a while. At first, it would cause panic, but now everyone had long been used to it.
Although it was brighter than usual this time, they still didn't care.
At the bottom of the huge pagoda, a figure raised his head, looked at the top, and muttered to himself:
"It's time to end all of this."
After that, he pushed open the heavy door and walked in, and when he entered, the door had already closed silently by itself.
