With a loud bang, the entire stone tower shook once again. This time, the magnitude of the shaking was so great that even the ground cracked. The cracks densely filled the nearby ground like a spider web. The water of the nearby stream was rapidly decreasing as it was sucked into the ground.
A blue light suddenly appeared from a distance and instantly shot into the tower. The shaking tower calmed down a little. Lord Bai had made his move.
"I have told everyone before that this person's ability cannot be underestimated. Because of my carelessness in the previous battle, my Phoenix Bow was destroyed," Lian Rong took a deep breath and said. Although she had said it before, it was just a joke. Who would have thought that the other party's fighting strength would be so overbearing.
"Everyone, stay away. Lord Bai has made his move." The four of them slightly distanced themselves from the side of the tower. At the same time, their faces were no longer as relaxed as before.
Following that, streaks of blue light flew over from afar one after another, completely suppressing the giant tower once again.
The spirit patterns on the outside of the tower began to flicker intensely. Countless mysterious runes appeared and poured into the tower. A lot of black gas was produced from the tower and covered the entire tower. Only the edge of the tower could be seen.
"Rumble!" The entire tower began to shake again. A small half of its body was already embedded into the ground. The surrounding soil had already been infected and turned black. Countless black Qi intertwined with each other, firmly sticking together and strengthening the sturdiness of the tower.
"Lord Bai is still the most powerful. It seems that we don't have to worry too much." Lian Rong said with a sigh of relief.
However, before the others could say anything, the entire tower suddenly shook. The black Qi outside was instantly swept away and some fragments fell from the edge.
They looked over in fear and saw that the black patterns outside were frantically flickering. It gave people a feeling that they could not hold on.
"Not good! Everyone, be careful! "
The gloomy man's complexion changed greatly because he saw a crack appear on the tower. He quickly shouted.
The four of them did not care about their poise and hurriedly flew outside. It seemed that even Lord Bai's Netherworld Dark Tower could not trap the other party.
This was supposed to be an easy task. How did it become so frightening in the end?
One had to know that if these two treasures attacked him at the same time, they would definitely die.
* Kacha * Suddenly, a loud noise came from the sky. Lian Rong turned her head to look and saw that the entire tower had a huge crack from top to bottom. Countless dense black fog was escaping from inside.
Then, a rumbling sound came from the inside of the tower. Under the horrified gazes of Lian Rong and the others, the huge tower exploded with a loud bang. Countless small stones shot out in all directions.
The four of them had no choice but to erect a shield to block the flying stones.
In the thick black fog, a figure slowly appeared in front of everyone, standing there and looking at them with scarlet eyes.
Even though the four of them were gathered together and all of them were at the peak of the Sky Immortal Realm, but when the other party looked over, they could not help but feel shocked.
Although the other party was clearly at the same cultivation level, he felt like he was facing a prehistoric crocodile, and he was all alone. The other party was looking at him like he was prey.
However, he could not help but shiver from the bottom of his heart. He wanted to get as far away from him as possible.
"Don't, don't be afraid. There are four of us. Furthermore, there's also Lord Bai. He's only burning his life force. We'll, we'll be fine." That sissy man was the first to speak. However, his stuttering appearance made the others feel that he was lacking in confidence.
Even though everyone gathered some courage after hearing what the sissy man said, none of them made the first move.
As for that figure, he was also standing there and coldly looking at them. It was as if he was looking at prey to be slaughtered. He was not in a hurry to make a move.
Beneath Gu Zheng's feet was a fragment of the huge tower. Furthermore, as the smoke and dust gradually dispersed, a huge monster was suddenly revealed.
Its malevolent face was filled with terror. Its black skin was filled with cracks, and black blood was still flowing out from Sisi's body. Its eyes were wide open, and its four limbs were facing the sky without moving at all. The most fatal part of its body was its head. There was a large hole there.
"My beloved, my spirit beast was actually tortured to death by you. This old lady is not done with you." Seeing her beloved pet die so miserably, Lady Yan instantly exploded.
Before the people beside her could stop her, she had already rushed forward.
She swung her hair in the air, and countless black bugs appeared in the air. They quickly gathered together and formed a black fog. Then, they buzzed and flew toward Gu Zheng.
Seeing that Lady Yan had made a move, the other three people could only make a move at the same time. Suppressing the trace of fear in their hearts, the three of them followed her and rushed toward Gu Zheng.
However, Lian Rong was cautious. She only approached slightly before stopping her footsteps. Then, she took out her whip and abruptly brandished it toward the void above her.
Every time she swung the whip, a crimson fireball would appear with a crisp sound. Not long after, hundreds of fireballs appeared in the air and quickly merged together.
The reason why they approached Gu Zheng was that they wanted to use the greatest amount of energy to make him unable to react under their rapid attacks. Then, they would defeat him in one fell swoop.
Therefore, they stopped halfway. The three of them formed a triangle with Lady Yan at the front.
The sissy turned his wrist, and a few silver needles emitting a blue glow appeared between his fingers. At a glance, it was obvious that they were smeared with poison.
Swish, swish. Dozens of silver needles formed the shape of a fan. Silver light flashed in the air, overtaking the flying bugs, and enveloping Gu Zheng's entire body.
The gloomy man continued to throw out white bone flying swords. At the end of each white bone flying sword were two holes, like the eye sockets of a person's head. With a soul-stirring screech, they pounced toward Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng looked at the attack in front of him without any ripples in his heart. The dense aura surrounding his body shrank, forming a slightly bronze-colored armor on Gu Zheng's body. Even his head was covered by a faint layer of protective shield. The amber-like surface was flowing with a faint yellow color, giving people a sense of reverence.
Ding, ding, dang. The dozens of flying needles first landed on Gu Zheng's body. However, against the seemingly soft armor, it was as if they had landed on a rock. Not a single mark was left on it. Instead, they fell to the ground.
Then, the black flying bugs densely covered Gu Zheng. Every bug opened their sharp teeth and started to bite the armor outside.
If it was a normal Dharma treasure shield, the black bugs would be able to tear it apart in a few bites. Then, they would pounce on the enemy and find ways to burrow into the enemy's body. They would forcibly hollow out the enemy's body from the inside. It was very cruel.
However, on this unknown armor, Miss Yan could clearly see that it was not working at all. Instead, the bugs' sharp teeth were breaking off one by one.
Gu Zheng did not ask the bugs on his body. He stretched out his fist and punched the bone swords flying toward him at an extremely fast speed.
The screech had no effect on Gu Zheng. The seemingly sharp bone swords were also broken by the fist shadows. They broke inch by inch and fell from the sky.
"How is this possible?" Lian Rong exclaimed in her heart. Such a dense and fierce attack, which one of them was not an attack they were good at? However, in front of Gu Zheng, none of them lasted for a single round. He did not even move much. His armor blocked most of their attacks.
However, her hands did not stop. The fireballs that filled the sky instantly merged under Lian Rong's command. A ferocious fire dragon swam back and forth in the air. Countless flames jumped on its body, bringing with it endless heat waves. Once again, it pounced toward Gu Zheng.
When Miss Yan saw that her attack had no effect, she was about to recall the spiritual bugs she had been raising.
However, just as she raised her arm, she saw that golden flames suddenly ignited on Gu Zheng's body. The black bugs were instantly vaporized, leaving not a trace of ashes behind.
Immediately after, the flames on his body suddenly rose into the air. All the flames quickly gathered in the air and turned into a huge fire dragon as well. It rushed toward the fire dragon formed by Lian Rong in the air.
Miss Yan was so angry that her nose was about to become crooked. She had painstakingly raised these bugs. Now, they were all gone. She felt as if her heart had been deeply cut by a knife.
All of this happened in a flash. In just one exchange, the attacks of the three opponents had failed.
"Since you are done attacking, it's my turn." A hellish voice came out of Gu Zheng's mouth. In the next moment, without saying anything, Gu Zheng punched the air with one hand and attacked Miss Yan with the other.
The two of them only felt a monstrous force surging toward them. Just as they were about to dodge, they realized that the surrounding air had silently suppressed them, binding them to the spot and making them unable to break free.
They were so shocked that it was too late for them to break free and dodge.
After seeing Gu Zheng's performance just now, the sissy didn't dare to underestimate him. Seeing that he couldn't escape in time, he bit the tip of his tongue in desperation and spat out a bloody mist from his mouth. It formed a bloody shield in front of him.
On the other hand, Miss Yan was both shocked and angry. Her mouth suddenly opened and her cheeks were pushed up high. She spat out small flesh-and-blood bugs from her mouth. As soon as they appeared, they stacked together and formed a huge meat shield in front of her.
"Puchi, puchi." The two of them were swept by the fist wind and the shield in front of them shattered. They felt a sharp pain in their bodies and their bodies flew backward at an extremely fast speed.
Even with the protection, this blow still caused their bodies to churn. They spat out mouthfuls of blood and were seriously injured.
The gloomy burly man took advantage of this opportunity and summoned five white ghost heads again. They wailed like ghosts and howled like wolves as they rushed toward Gu Zheng.
However, before they could even get close, an item descended from the sky and instantly engulfed three of them. The golden Fire Dragon from before had torn apart Lian Rong's Fire Dragon and once again attacked from above. If it were not for the five Ghost Heads standing slightly apart, they would have been completely annihilated.
The two ghost heads had just gotten close to Gu Zheng and sucked in the black gas outside their bodies. Their bodies had just expanded when they were grabbed by Gu Zheng with lightning speed. Like a ripe watermelon, with a bang, they were crushed into pieces by Gu Zheng's palms.
Gu Zheng opened his mouth and inhaled. The golden fire dragon was directly swallowed by Gu Zheng.
"Bang." A whistling sound came from behind them as a black lotus flower exploded in the air. It was very lifelike as it bloomed. Gu Zheng focused his gaze and saw that it was Lian Rong who had taken out a black seed and activated it from her hand.
Before the first one dissipated in the air, the second one had already rushed up with a shriek. However, Lian Rong flipped her hand and another black seed appeared in her hand. In an instant, she rushed up with the second one.
Three strange black lotuses bloomed in the air. Everyone here could see them and the entire city was in an uproar. No one dared to believe that the highest level alarm had actually sounded.
"Lian Rong, are you crazy? Why did you sound such an alarm? "The gloomy burly man looked at the black lotuses above his head and couldn't help but be stunned. His hand movements slightly stopped.
"This is Lord Bai's order. Now that Lord Bai is slightly injured because of the damage to the Dark Tower, he wants us to hold them back." Lian Rong explained from behind. Just now, she had indeed heard Lord Bai's order.
When the three of them heard this, they had a bad premonition in their hearts. Could it be that Lord Bai wasn't confident in dealing with this person?
However, at this moment, the black lotuses had already been released and Gu Zheng's figure was already rushing over. The gloomy man took out a few small black and white flags from his back and instantly connected them in the air. In the blink of an eye, an irregular boundary was formed and fell from the sky, trapping Gu Zheng inside.
"Everyone, no matter what, hold on. When everyone arrives, it will be the time of his death." The gloomy man continuously waved his hand, trying to make this set of formation flags last a little longer. This was because the spirit light of the flags outside was dimming at a visible rate.
Even Lord Bai's Dark Tower couldn't break through. He didn't expect his simple set of formation flags to be able to hold on for long.
When Miss Yan and the other two heard this, they looked at each other and understood that the development of the situation was beyond their expectations. If they ran away now, they would probably be laughed at for the rest of their lives.
More importantly, Lord Bai was still in the cave. He was their main pillar of support. No matter how powerful the other party was, they could at least hold on for a while.
Inside the formation flags, Gu Zheng's eyes were constantly flashing with golden light. A bright black seal was slowly emerging on his forehead. Four lines of different colors were strangely flashing. However, if one observed carefully, the light on the seal would dim a little every time it flashed.
In Gu Zheng's body, the demon grass seemed to have been stimulated and was frantically trying to break through the seal. It didn't care that its origin was rapidly depleting.
Traces of an unusual aura emerged from Gu Zheng's body, as if he was looking down on all living things.
The surrounding black gas was dispelled by a layer of faint golden light, even though the gloomy man was using all his strength to control it.
At this moment, Elder Mu had just arrived near the city gate and saw many patrolling soldiers. Regardless of their cultivation level, as long as they were Heaven Immortals and above, they were all hurrying in the direction of the black lotus.
He even noticed that on the mountain peak, there were dozens of terrifying figures flying rapidly in the direction of the black lotus.
Elder Mu took a rough look and found that there were close to ten peak Heaven Immortals. Perhaps there were more. He couldn't help but think that there were so many hidden forces here.
If it wasn't for this strange incident, they would have been lying in ambush and waiting for the army to come in. If they suddenly ambushed them, they would have caused huge casualties.
Elder Mu hurriedly reported the information he had seen and asked the people outside to be on alert.
After doing all this, Elder Mu cast his gaze into the distance. He knew that there was someone there who was rescuing his loved ones.
However, he didn't know what he had done to cause such a commotion that almost everyone was attracted over.
"Elder Mu, look. The enemies at the city gate have also left." The person said in surprise, cutting off Elder Mu's path to death.
Elder Mu followed the gaze and found that there were some guards with lower cultivation levels. Now, all of them had left and were also heading in the direction of the black lotus.
This was quite a pleasant surprise. It had greatly reduced the difficulty for them. Initially, they wanted to force their way through. However, they didn't expect everyone to be attracted by the black lotus.
At this moment, Elder Mu hoped that Gu Zheng could hold on for a little longer. However, the moment this thought appeared, Elder Mu suppressed it. He was ashamed of his own thoughts.
However, in his opinion, he didn't have much hope for Gu Zheng to survive. Even though he was expecting Gu Zheng to create an impossible miracle in his heart, he was still hoping that Gu Zheng could create an impossible miracle.
"Let's go. The Grand Elder outside has already gathered his men. This time, we'll definitely succeed." Mu Zhang encouraged.
The four of them walked down the city gate quickly. Before long, they arrived at the red light once again.
"Get ready." Elder Mu took in a deep breath. He didn't believe that they could break through this core easily even if there was no one guarding it.
A probing Sword Qi instantly rushed over, and at the moment the rainbow light was attacked, a layer of invisible fluctuation was emitted.
The speed was so fast that they couldn't react in time. When the wave passed by their bodies, the four of them disappeared from where they were.
.....
On a pitch black altar, the entire place was shrouded in black mist. No one could see what was on top of it. However, there was a figure sitting at the bottom of the altar. His back was facing the golden altar, and he was looking at something with his head raised.
On the opposite side of the altar, there was a gigantic water screen. On it were the three gigantic black lotuses. However, they were about to dissipate.
Apparently, the Sect Master had sensed that the emergency measures he had set up a long time ago had been triggered. Hence, he took out a treasure to check out what was going on.
"So, it's him." Suddenly, a faint voice came from the altar.
When the Sect Master heard it, he stood up respectfully and said, "Lord Black God, you know him too?"
At this moment, the black mist on the altar started to rumble. A head that was a few times larger than normal slowly appeared at the edge of the altar. However, the face was covered by the black mist, and no one could see the face clearly.
"The little fella that escaped from my hands previously. To think that I could see her again." Black God chuckled. The voice came from the mouth of the remaining leader.
"I'd like to see what he's capable of." Lord Black God's tone was filled with schadenfreude. It was as though he was looking forward to seeing Lin Fan fall there.
After that, his figure disappeared into the black mist again. However, the Sect Master knew that Lord Black God was paying attention to the situation. Hence, he sat down and maintained the image above. He wanted to see what kind of special ability could make them use the black lotuses.
At this moment, Gu Zheng had already broken out of the array flags in the image. The four people on the other side were waiting for him and gathered together.
