The strange bird let out an unpleasant cry and bit down on Gu Zheng from above.
It didn't directly spit out its green liquid, but instead opened its mouth wide enough to fit several Gu Zheng's, wanting to swallow him whole.
Looking at the strange bird descending from the sky, countless astral winds revolved around its body. The surrounding air covered by the astral winds became somewhat blurry, and thunderous cries continuously rose from the sky.
Gu Zheng originally thought that the other party would first launch a long-range attack, but who would've thought that it would actually use its body to attack? This greatly exceeded Gu Zheng's expectations.
At this moment, Gu Zheng had already assumed a dodging posture the moment the other party appeared. His entire body pounced forward as soon as the bird let out a cry, predicting the other party's movements in advance. However, this time, he felt like he had gone for wool and come home shorn.
At that moment, Gu Zheng was looking up at the sky. He watched as the monstrous bird turned its head. After changing its direction slightly, it once again aimed at him. An intense hurricane immediately pressed down on him, constantly interfering with his movements.
However, Gu Zheng's body was simply unable to break free from the red rope's restraint, and now that he was in this position, it was truly too awkward.
At this moment of imminent peril, Gu Zheng's back suddenly exploded. He abruptly leapt up like a carp and once again pounced forward, his entire body scuttling dozens of meters away, narrowly avoiding the other party's attack.
"Boom!" The earth shook, and Gu Zheng felt as if there was a magnitude 10 earthquake nearby. A strong wave of air instantly rushed over, not only blowing Gu Zheng far away, but also blowing away the puppets that had just been arranged in formation.
"Can you control your little pet properly? It's already interfering with my spell casting!" Xiao Shui's flustered and exasperated voice came from the side, clearly annoyed.
"Alright, alright! I got it! "Feng Yun saw that he had indeed been more of a hindrance and couldn't help but awkwardly reply.
At the same time, he immediately began to restrict the strange bird's movements. At the very least, he could not use such a powerful Body Collision for the time being. He wanted to force Gu Zheng to an open space on the other side so that he could not affect his companion's spellcasting.
And on the other side, Gu Zheng, who had just escaped from the jaws of death, was looking at his original position with a face full of cold sweat. There was a large pit several dozen feet wide where he had been standing, but that strange bird had already disappeared into the ground. Gu Zheng could clearly feel a creature coming towards him from underground.
Gu Zheng knew how sturdy the ground was. Even if he used all his strength, he wouldn't be able to blast open even half a hole. Yet, the other party was actually able to walk underground. Although the speed was somewhat slow, it didn't take long for the other party to arrive near him.
In just a few breaths' time, it would be able to approach Gu Zheng again.
However, Gu Zheng had already recovered from the situation of being trapped.
Just like just now, when he used the momentum of the magic power explosion to blow himself away, he was completely distracted by the rope and forgot that he still had magic power. Although his fists and body were bound, everything inside his body was normal.
Gu Zheng's body floated up slightly from the ground. His height wasn't very high, and he glanced left and right.
It seemed that one of them was casting a spell, trying to gather the puppets together, while the other, with a thick tortoise shell, was hiding far away, commanding his pet. Perhaps his mind was restrained, and he was unable to launch a pincer attack with his pet.
Gu Zheng looked at both sides and also understood that he only needed to deal with this beast for the time being, so he relaxed a lot.
Above Gu Zheng's head, a ball of golden light suddenly appeared, and a golden ancient seal character quickly spat out from Gu Zheng's mouth. As soon as it came out, it gathered above and gradually merged into the ball.
The whole ball of light gradually elongated as the golden runes entered. The appearance of a long sword appeared in the air above, and it quickly started to take shape.
The sharp blade became sharper as the golden runes entered, and on the sword's body, layers of mysterious runes were slowly engraved. Moreover, they became brighter and brighter, and the sword emitted a terrifying aura.
The moment Xiao Shui and Feng Yun saw the huge sword, their hearts couldn't help but flash with astonishment. But now, they really couldn't stop what they were doing. They could only rely on the strange beast that wasn't completely under Feng Yun's control.
Under Feng Yun's urging, the strange snake had just arrived at Gu Zheng's previous position. It soared into the sky from where Gu Zheng had been. It also knew the might of the sword above, and its fierce eyes glowed green. A high-frequency hiss continuously echoed in the air as it continued to rush towards Gu Zheng, wanting to interrupt his spell before he finished.
But at this time, the golden greatsword above had already taken shape. The 30 foot long greatsword was already pointed downwards. Beside the sword, arcs of electricity constantly trembled like golden lightning, leaving behind white cracks in the air. It seemed to have penetrated through time and space, causing fluctuations in space. Bursts of thunder constantly sounded from the side.
"Fall!"
Gu Zheng coldly snorted in his heart. His hands drew a final character in the air, and he pointed up with one hand, turning into a stream of light that rushed into the golden sword. Then, his hand suddenly fell.
The dazzling golden sword shrunk back. The previous signs were like an illusion. At this moment, all of them disappeared. Following the movement of the sword, it fell down silently. Its gentle movements did not even cause a slight breeze. It was completely different from the scene of destruction just now.
However, the red fog that was originally everywhere had quietly disappeared within a radius of a hundred meters, revealing the body of the strange bird below.
At this time, its fierce eyes already showed a lot of fear. A strong and fatal aura was constantly emitted from above, constantly stimulating it. It let it know that if this attack landed on its body, it would very likely die.
This attack wasn't something it could block at all.
Normally, its first choice would be to stay far away, and not be affected by such a fatal attack.
However, when Feng Yun saw that the domineering golden sword had become so weak, he thought that Gu Zheng was forcefully holding on to cast a powerful spell, but in the end, it was just for show.
One must know that he thought that this attack would be able to break through this world and leave this place. It was scared out of its wits. Seeing this, it quickly controlled the strange bird to rush up. It would be best if it could take advantage of the opponent's weakest moment to seriously injure him.
As for using its strange bird to kill the opponent, at first it had this idea, but now it had already thrown it to the back of its mind. Now, it was just dragging Xiao Shui over there to complete its spell.
That was one of the biggest trump cards here.
However, just as the two were about to collide, under the pressure of life and death, the strange snake suddenly spat out its snake tongue. A violent roar came from its mouth, and its body emitted a green light. Countless green scales appeared on its body section by section, as if it was instantly covered with a layer of green armor.
Especially at the top of its head, a small green horn also emerged from its forehead.
"It evolved?!" Feng Yun saw this scene and subconsciously shouted in surprise and joy. He didn't expect that his little pet would break through its shackles at this time, and the bloodline hidden in the depths of its body was once again activated.
Looking at it now, the somewhat bloated body in the middle was now a lot thinner. If it went to recuperate later, its combat power would be greatly increased.
Even now, its combat power was 30% stronger than before. After going back, it would take a lot of time to strengthen its control.
Now he was looking forward to keeping Gu Zheng here this time. He thought that he had actually killed Jin Xian. Although most of the credit was due to the second elder, they also played a big role.
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on his face, as if he could see Gu Zheng's body being pierced by his cute pet, and then he would be praised by the first elder.
He looked at the strange bird's body and slightly shrank back. Then, his body tensed up and suddenly exerted force again. He actually used the green horn that had just grown out to collide with it.
"Boom!" There was an earth-shattering sound!
The tip of the huge golden sword directly hit the horn on the strange bird's head. However, the seemingly weak horn actually blocked the first wave of the most fatal attack of the golden sword. That mass of thick green light was like Mount Tai blocking the violent attack.
Countless streaks of golden light constantly burst out from the center, forming huge golden waves that surged out in all directions. The entire space was ripped apart, revealing pitch-black cracks.
"Buzz!"
On the side of Xiao Shui, a huge red sunset had risen in time. Trembling waves were constantly raised above it, and even the puppets behind the blood curtain were completely unable to be seen. However, the huge golden wave was all blocked. As a price, the puppets were suddenly turned into stone, and could no longer be resurrected.
"Feng Yun!" A scream resounded through the whole sky, but Feng Yun could no longer hear it.
On this side, the huge golden wave rushed to his side in the blink of an eye. He thought that his turtle shell was very tight, but it only lasted for a few breaths. Before he could wake up from his panic, his defense was broken, and he was instantly torn to pieces by the huge wave. He couldn't be more dead.
Gu Zheng's eyes flashed with a trace of surprise. He didn't expect the other party to actually block it. Although it looked like the other party had used all its strength, if it had been a little weaker, it would have been cut from head to toe by the golden sword.
At the moment of the stalemate, the runes on the sword suddenly lit up. They fell from the sword and floated towards the strange bird's horn like snowflakes.
A piece of runes landed on the misty green mass. One could see that the green light that was flickering non-stop suddenly dimmed again. A few pieces of golden runes landed on it, and a layer of the green mass disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In the blink of an eye, the thick mass of green light had been reduced by a layer, but the runes were still floating down endlessly from the sword.
The strange bird's body began to sway, and its body began to press down bit by bit.
"Wu!"
A mournful cry came from the strange bird's mouth. Because of Feng Yun's death, it wouldn't be long before it died as well.
Looking at the huge sword above, the strange bird's eyes flashed with a trace of fierceness. The green scales on its body began to fall off bit by bit. They all turned into a stream of light and merged into the green horn on its forehead to buy a little bit of time.
Its entire body suddenly shrank, and waves of extremely faint green light came from behind it. It began to rush towards the strange snake's head. The body that the green light passed through became somewhat illusory. It was like a jellyfish swaying in the water. Its entire body seemed to be hidden in the void, and this place was just a projection.
It could see the scene on the other side through its body!
"Whoosh!"
Just as the green light was about to reach its head, it suddenly sped up and covered the strange bird's entire body.
At the same time, the strange bird's body twisted and turned into a strange snake-shaped spirit light that shot out. Its speed was several times faster, and it pierced towards Gu Zheng in the air like a bolt of lightning.
When the other party didn't move, Gu Zheng released even more golden runes without caring about the consumption. However, the somewhat illusory body wasn't affected by the golden runes at all, and it directly passed through.
"Bang!"
Gu Zheng felt a blur, and the strange snake's form instantly changed and appeared in front of him. Gu Zheng didn't even notice how the other party appeared in front of him. The light that the other party had just released was still not far below, but it had already arrived in front of him.
Gu Zheng didn't react at all. He felt a pain in his abdomen, and his entire body flew back quickly. The scenery around him also quickly passed by.
"Rumble!"
In the blink of an eye, Gu Zheng crashed into a mountain in the distance, creating a large hole at the bottom of the mountain. Countless rocks fell from above, and Gu Zheng's entire body was buried deep inside.
When Xiao Shui saw this scene, her face was filled with grief. Although they had only known each other for a few thousand years, his care for her had touched her. They had even discussed that after completing this mission, they would ask the elders to let them go out and wander around the continent.
At the very least, since they were born, they hadn't gone anywhere other than the place where they lived, and this narrow place.
Of course, without the help of the elders, they wouldn't have been able to reach their current cultivation by relying on themselves.
Xiao Shui forcibly suppressed her grief. This was the time that he had bought for himself. Without her, he wouldn't be able to fight against the other party. It could even be said that he didn't even have the qualifications to fight.
A ruthless look flashed in her eyes, and she withdrew her gaze from the distance. Her hand gently pulled out her tied up hair, and a silver jade hairpin was taken out. At this time, the silver light on it had already disappeared, and the passage of time had made this jade hairpin somewhat shabby.
"Puchi!"
He saw Xiao Shui abruptly stab the jade hairpin into her own chest. Her face became a bit pale and her body stiffened. However, she bit her lips and quickly pulled out the jade hairpin.
An arrow of blood followed the departure of the jade hairpin, and instantly shot out from the wound. After making a strange turn in the air, it directly pounced on the blood-colored red ball in front of her.
"Ka ka ka!"
The red clouds in the sky rolled again, and the lightning hidden inside disappeared one after another. Very quickly, the red clouds in the sky began to condense together, revealing the pitch-black, impenetrable sky.
"Withdraw!"
Seeing this, Xiao Shui had already prepared a spell and instantly sent it into the blood ball. The originally bright blood ball actually began to slowly rotate, and the red mist in the sky followed an invisible line, pouring down in torrents toward the blood ball.
In a short span of a dozen breaths, the entire sky didn't have a trace of red mist, and the blood ball once again expanded several times.
Countless red threads were connected to the heads of the puppets below, and they were emitting a lustrous red light.
Originally, the puppets' movements weren't very nimble, but now they all moved quickly, and no longer dawdled like before. They quickly found their own positions, and put away their weapons, and all of them stood there in different postures, which was especially strange.
Xiao Shui also came to the top of the blood ball, opened his arms, and fell down into the blood ball.
"Bang bang bang!"
Countless red mist burst out from the puppets' bodies, and very quickly covered the entire area, making it impossible for people to see the situation inside. They could only hear the incessant sounds that made people's teeth ache, but they didn't know what had happened inside.
"Boom!"
The mountain that buried Gu Zheng suddenly exploded, and a figure flew out from inside.
Gu Zheng shook his somewhat dazed head, and then looked at his chest. The strange bird that had already turned into a dried corpse was still fiercely looking at him. Gu Zheng sighed, and pulled its tail from his waist. With a light shake, the strange bird's corpse turned into a pile of dry powder, and floated down from the sky.
It seemed that the other party had used some unknown method to burn its own life force, wanting to perish together with him. In the end, it only managed to push Gu Zheng away, and it no longer had any strength left.
Looking at the scene of destruction in the distance, and then suspiciously looking at the mountain behind him, Gu Zheng tossed aside his doubts, and accelerated toward the huge blood curtain.
Arriving in front of that huge blood curtain, Gu Zheng's figure was like a baby in front of a giant, incomparably small.
"Buzz!"
After losing track of the strange bird, the huge golden sword was motionless near the ground. With a thought from Gu Zheng, it once again soared into the sky from below, floating above Gu Zheng's head, ready to set off again at any time.
Gu Zheng looked at the huge screen in front of him. There was an aura coming from it that made his heart tremble. Seeing that there were no obvious openings, Gu Zheng made a prompt decision and tried to attack again.
The runes on the body of the huge golden sword lit up once again. Moreover, the sword rapidly expanded to a size of ten feet. A heavy aura was clearly emitted from the sword. This aura was even stronger than before. Then, the sword slowly rushed towards the huge tree.
"Clang!" A loud sound rang out.
The huge golden sword suddenly smashed into the huge blood curtain with the force of ten thousand catties, and more than half of the sword's body had already pierced inside. Countless waves of blood violently trembled in the huge blood curtain, and one by one, the blood curtain turned into long snakes, and suddenly appeared from inside. They opened their mouths and rows of sharp teeth, and rushed toward the huge sword from all directions. They madly pounced on the sword, wanting to tear it to pieces.
Seeing this scene, Gu Zheng was not worried at all. Instead, he sneered and coldly spat out a word.
"Explode!"
