The black centipede screamed incessantly, desperately trying to get rid of the strange energy in its body, but it couldn't break free at all.
Even the hard outer shell couldn't stop the damage from the inside. Gu Zheng used a little force and easily tore the shell off the black centipede's body.
In a few breaths, the outer edge of the shell was completely torn open, exposing some gray muscles. Gu Zheng's hands pierced into the centipede's body, grabbing one of the centipede's bones with both hands. With a sudden shake, a vibration force spread throughout the centipede's body.
The black centipede cried out in grief, all the joints in its body were broken by the vibration. It could no longer support its body and fell to the ground like mud, without any strength to struggle.
A huge golden sword appeared behind him. Gu Zheng sneered and directly controlled the golden sword to pierce through the bloody wound into the centipede's body.
With a muffled "boom", the black centipede turned into a rain of blood and broke into several pieces. Its broken limbs instinctively twisted on the ground a few times, then stopped moving and died completely.
From the black centipede's earth-shattering roar to its death, this series of actions happened in a short span of a dozen breaths. Even if the strange man had sensed something was wrong, under Sun Cheng's desperate defense, he couldn't free himself to help at all. He could only watch as the centipede died.
Without the centipede's control, the ghost head in the air howled in the void, turned into a wisp of black mist and disappeared. The green flames that filled the sky also gradually stopped burning.
Gu Zheng relaxed a little. This centipede was really difficult to deal with.
Gu Zheng couldn't break through the centipede's indestructible shell directly. Coupled with its incomparably sharp legs, under normal circumstances, even Gu Zheng wouldn't be able to block a second attack.
There was also the green flames that could corrode magic treasures. They could completely penetrate the insides of magic treasures and cause them to malfunction. There was also the ghost skull that burned the immortal energy in the enemy's body and turned it into its own fuel.
It was impossible to guard against these attacks, not to mention the poison at the beginning and the roar that disturbed one's mind. It was extremely difficult to deal with.
However, it was the green flame that did the most work. The green flame seemed to be able to blur the divine sense. Gu Zheng then took out the Twin Jade Pearls. Relying on the defense of the Twin Jade Pearls and the black and white energy of the ancient mirror, he was able to lock the opponent in place.
Otherwise, Gu Zheng wouldn't be able to do anything to the other party. Gu Zheng was prepared to pull Sun Cheng and escape. As for whether or not they could escape, Gu Zheng was still very confident.
Even if he lost the black longsword, the damage he could inflict on his opponent would be negligible. This kind of sneak attack only had one chance at most.
Looking at Sun Cheng who was still fighting, Gu Zheng quickly rushed over to help him deal with the monster.
At this moment, Sun Cheng didn't look too good either. His side was clearly in a difficult position. If this continued, defeat was only a matter of time.
The other party's magic was extremely strange. Not only could it slow down his magic treasures, but it could also suddenly wrap around him and interrupt his movements.
However, if this continued, once his injuries reached a certain degree, he wouldn't be able to escape even if he wanted to. If it wasn't for the fact that Gu Zheng had the upper hand and gave him endless confidence, he would have already suggested to Gu Zheng to escape with him.
The monster's thoughts were the exact opposite of his. From the beginning, he was full of confidence and believed that the two of them would die here.
Slowly, his mood began to sink because during this time, the black centipede's roars were constantly echoing. It seemed that it had suffered a great loss.
He knew how powerful the black centipede was. If he wasn't careful and was hit by the other party's attacks, he might also die.
Although this enemy wasn't his match and he was confident that he could kill him in half a day, who would have thought that the black centipede wouldn't be able to do anything and would die in half a day?
He wanted to rush over to help, but under the enemy's desperate efforts, he couldn't go over at all. If he really ignored the enemy and forced his way over, he would be seriously injured.
No matter how much he underestimated the enemy, the enemy was still an existence on the same level as him.
After his last attempt failed, the monster did not attack again because he could no longer sense the centipede's presence. It seemed that the centipede was most likely dead.
A gust of wind blew by, blowing away the dust in the air and revealing Sun Cheng and the monster.
"Brother Gu." Sun Cheng looked at Gu Zheng in pleasant surprise. Apart from his face being a bit pale and looking a bit tired, there weren't many injuries on his body.
When the monster saw Gu Zheng's cold gaze, his heart seemed to sink into a bottomless pit of ice. His body suddenly shivered and he felt as if his entire body had been frozen.
Gu Of course, Gu Hai wasn't injured at all. It was almost the same as when he first saw him.
Gu Hai's strength had exceeded his expectations. The reason why he didn't immediately run away was because he thought that Gu Zheng would also be seriously injured. He didn't think that this would actually be the case.
If the monster had immediately run away, Sun Cheng wouldn't have been able to stop him. Unfortunately, he had made the wrong bet. He had originally wanted to take advantage of the fact that Gu Hai was seriously injured to kill them all, but now, he had been forced into a passive position.
At this time, the open space outside had been covered by a layer of protective shield that emitted a hazy glow. It had already sealed off his escape route.
However, the protective shield wasn't strong enough and he could break it with a few moves. He had to find a way to escape. He didn't have the confidence to deal with the two of them working together.
Anyway, the Sect Leader didn't want to guard this place to the death. He could only blame his bad luck for being discovered in such a remote place.
After the eccentric's expression flickered back and forth, he suddenly let out a loud shout. The brick magic weapon that had been above his head suddenly shone brightly and a black mist gushed out from its body, dyeing the area around the eccentric pitch-black and blocking their line of sight.
Immediately afterward, the strange man's figure retreated rapidly and shot backward. He was actually trying to escape.
"Want to escape? No way." Sun Cheng had been suppressed by the monster before and had long been suppressing his anger. Seeing that the monster didn't say anything and wanted to escape, how could he let him go so easily?
An awl-shaped magic weapon immediately appeared under his feet, emitting a white light as it lifted him up. His body suddenly lit up, and with a sudden acceleration, he circled around to the side. In the blink of an eye, he was once again in front of the strange man, blocking his path.
Without saying a word, he raised the long staff in his hand and chopped down from above. The monster came to a sudden stop and suddenly dodged to the side, dodging the attack.
Gu Zheng also dispersed the black fog with a punch and flanked him from behind.
Now that the monster was surrounded by the two, it seemed that he couldn't escape.
"Don't be so vicious. Hurry up and kill me. Otherwise, I'll use a forbidden technique and die with you." The monster's mouth twitched and he said viciously.
"You still have the face to say that. Why did you directly attack just now? If you have any tricks up your sleeve, then show me. Let me have a taste of them." Although Sun Cheng mocked the monster, he didn't relax at all. Who knew if the monster had the ability to drag him down with him.
"You forced me to do this." The monster slowly looked around and roared into the sky. His arm flashed with a black light and he punched the ground.
Boom!
The yellow soil on the ground splashed up, blocking their line of sight once again. A large hole appeared on the ground.
Gu Zheng and Sun Cheng's divine sense firmly locked onto him. They wanted to see what kind of trick he was playing.
A green stone pillar appeared and the monster knelt on it. He shouted, "I surrender, don't kill me."
This change stunned Sun Cheng. He didn't understand what kind of trick the monster was playing. He didn't think that the monster wanted to surrender.
Sure enough, seeing that Sun Cheng and Gu Zheng didn't have any reaction, the stone pillar below suddenly lit up. A green whirlwind appeared on the monster's body and it exploded.
The monster's speed was extremely fast. Even though Sun Cheng was vigilant, he only saw a shadow fly past him and arrive in front of the barrier in an instant.
Sun Cheng hurriedly got up and chased after him. He even said to Gu Zheng, "Chase him, don't let him escape."
However, the strange man only paused for a moment before his figure blurred. As if the shield did not exist, he passed through it and continued to flee. It seemed that the strange spell that allowed him to pass through the shield had slowed him down a lot.
Sun Cheng believed that it wouldn't take long for him to catch up with the monster again.
However, when he arrived in front of the shield, he slammed into it. Unexpectedly, he became dizzy from the impact and sat on the ground.
He originally thought that Gu Zheng would release the barrier and let him pass. He wasn't prepared at all.
When he stood up, he found that Gu Zheng was still standing in the same place. It seemed that he didn't care about the monster's escape at all.
"What's going on? Are we just going to let him go?" Sun Cheng asked, puzzled. One must know that they had imprisoned Gu Zheng before. Under normal circumstances, they would not let him escape.
In such a short time, they couldn't see the monster's figure anymore. But they had marked him. It was still not too late to catch up.
"No need, he can't escape." Gu Zheng shook his head. His eyes swept around. Under Sun Cheng's strange gaze, he walked to the monster's position.
Now, all that was left was a dense pile of broken stones and a small crater with some bumps and hollows.
"Do you want to come out yourself, or do you want me to call you out?" Gu Zheng snorted and said to the hole with his head lowered.
"Was that not him?" Sun Cheng also walked over at this time. Seeing Gu Zheng's mocking voice, he was surprised.
But just now, he had been locking onto the monster. Until the monster escaped, he still didn't notice any changes. It could be said that he knew everything about the monster. How could it be?
"Yes, you're right. It seems that he still hasn't given up." Gu Zheng said to Sun Cheng who was approaching.
Gu Zheng raised his head and retreated. He suddenly stomped his foot on the ground. A crack appeared on the ground, and it continued to extend forward.
"Boom!"
A person jumped out from behind in a somewhat sorry state.
Sun Cheng looked. It wasn't the monster. He actually jumped out from below. He didn't even notice when he hid.
"Damn it." The monster's trick had been seen through and he was forced out by Gu Zheng. He knew that this time, he was doomed. However, he wouldn't give up. He could only fight to the death.
A magic treasure in the shape of a disk appeared above his head. Layers of black light emerged, and circles of black fog once again vibrated from above, enveloping him within, making him faintly discernible.
"Be careful, he's going to go all out." With a single glance, Gu Zheng knew that this was the item that he had suppressed. The spiritual light lingered in the distance. It was clearly a high-grade magic treasure.
Although this was the first time Sun Cheng and Gu Zheng had teamed up, they had a tacit understanding. The two of them attacked each other from behind.
Gu Zheng still raised his fist, because the magical treasures on his body were not as hard as his fist. However, the ancient mirror on his back was activated again, a layer of hazy light mist waiting to be released.
There was a loud rumble between the three of them. In the blink of an eye, the curtain of light around the monster began to shake.
After all, even if the monster could fight, it was still difficult to fight with two fists. He wasn't as freakish as Gu Zheng. In such a close battle, he couldn't deal with one thing while being attacked from the left and right.
In particular, Gu Zheng's iron fists were even more powerful than Sun Cheng's weapons. There were several times when he wasn't able to dodge in time. A few punches landed on his chest, causing him to cough up blood.
Within the black light, the monster ate pills as if they were free. He didn't stop his hand seals for even a moment. He also had to control the magic treasures outside to fight with his opponent. It was simply a headache.
It wasn't that he hadn't encountered something more dangerous than this before. However, at that time, he was confident and he wasn't facing a powerful human.
Unlike now, he didn't have any confidence at all. His opponent had quickly killed the black centipede, which made him realize that things weren't going well.
This was indeed the case. Right now, most of his attention was focused on Gu Zheng. Sun Cheng's repeated attacks had vented his anger.
However, even so, the monster's situation was getting worse and worse.
"I can't take it anymore. Even if I die, I have to drag him down with me." The monster stuffed another pill into his mouth. The flickering light curtain regained some stability.
The brick-shaped magic treasure outside suddenly exploded, forming a violent shockwave that rushed out in all directions. Gu Zheng and Sun Cheng were forced to take a few steps back.
The monster gave up control of the barrier and the magic treasures outside. After one last attack, a powerful aura burst out from his body.
His face was pale and he kept muttering something. His expression became even more solemn. A terrifying black fog slowly appeared from his body. At first, it was just a little bit, but soon, a wisp of black fog appeared in front of him and kept condensing.
Without a wisp of black fog, the monster's body became thinner. Even the eye sockets on his cheeks became deeper. In the blink of an eye, he was only left with skin and bones. His vitality seemed to have hit rock bottom. He looked more like a living dead.
It was as if he had given up all his life essence.
"Almighty Demon God, I offer my humble life and soul. I beg you to help me kill the enemy in front of me." After saying these words, the monster knelt on the ground and thought about the small wisp of black fog above his head.
At this time, Gu Zheng and Sun Cheng had just dispersed the outermost black fog. The power of a magic treasure's explosion still had some power. They just happened to see a black light shoot out from above and enter the monster's eye sockets.
Under their astonished gazes, an invisible shadow that resembled a freak appeared above the freak's head and floated toward the black fog above his head. The shadow's expression was very frightened, as if it had discovered something different about the other party. Its mouth kept opening and closing.
When he suddenly saw Gu Zheng and Sun Cheng appear, he looked at them with pleading eyes, wanting them to save him. It was as if he was a completely different person.
Although Gu Zheng and Sun Cheng were still puzzled, as this seemed to be an evil ritual where one sacrificed oneself to obtain some wishes, why did the person who was sacrificing himself appear to be unwilling when he took the initiative to do so?
Regardless of whether the other party had asked them for help or not, they could not let the black fog that emitted an evil aura absorb the monster's soul.
The two of them quickly rushed forward, wanting to stop the other party's actions.
However, they found that the shield from before blocked their way again. It turned out that the shield was not controlled and it automatically hid in the surroundings. When there was any attack in the surroundings, it would spontaneously emerge to defend against the enemy. It was worthy of being a high-level magic treasure.
Although the monster was no longer controlling it, it was not something that Gu Zheng and Sun Cheng could break out of in a short time. They could only watch as the monster's soul was absorbed by the black fog.
The black fog suddenly began to surge. A spiritual energy storm blew between heaven and earth, crazily rushing towards the black fog. The black fog began to grow bigger and bigger. At the same time, it continued to expand from the center, as if it was about to take a human form.
"Kacha." Under the two's crazy bombardment, in just a few dozen breaths, they heard a sound coming from above. Gu Zheng looked up. It turned out that the smooth bottom layer of the disc-shaped magic treasure had a crack.
Without the control of its owner, even the best magic treasure was so fragile.
He glanced at the black fog that was still growing. At this time, it was already more than three feet tall. The rough shape of a human could already be seen. The face was also constantly tumbling, gradually evolving.
"Speed up a bit." Gu Zheng urged. With every minute that passed, the black fog above their heads grew stronger. This kind of sacrificial thing would always chase after the target. There was no way to escape. It was better to take advantage of the fact that the other party was in the conversion period and forcibly get rid of this evil thing.
Without Gu Zheng's urging, Sun Cheng also knew the seriousness of the matter. He increased the output of the magic power in his hand. The long staff in his hand had already formed countless illusions in the air, fiercely smashing in front of him. Every time, it would set off a large ripple on the shield.
After another dozen breaths, under their reckless and crazy attacks, the cracks on the surface of the disc-shaped magic treasure increased, and the shield clearly felt a lot weaker.
Gu Zheng once again raised the fist in his hand and fiercely slammed it on the shield. There was only a piercing sound. The shield in front of them flashed and finally disappeared. The magic treasure above shattered into thousands of pieces.
However, before Gu Zheng and the others could rejoice, a strong explosion came from above. A strong hurricane brought with it countless waves of air. In an instant, the unprepared Gu Zheng and Sun Cheng were blown away.
