Generally speaking, the biggest advantage of these gigantic creatures was their bodies. Even though Ling Feng's gauntlets had created bloody holes on the turtle's body, and the blood that flowed out had dyed half of the lake red, to the giant turtle, it was only equivalent to a layer of skin on a human's body, and then a trace of blood would be exposed.
On the other hand, Ling Feng's inner armor was already very dim. It would probably be completely destroyed after a few more attacks. It could be seen that he was at a complete disadvantage in this battle.
If this continued, Ling Feng felt that he would definitely lose. There was no need for him to fight against the turtle. In the blink of an eye, his body shrunk until he was only the size of a baby.
Although the shrunken Ling Feng's attack power had decreased a lot, he was still in a very uncomfortable position for the giant turtle. At this moment, it was difficult to even follow the turtle, let alone attack.
His body also shrunk rapidly until he became a mini turtle that was only about 100 feet tall.
This time, Ling Feng's plan was foiled. His current state was no different from before. After being sent flying again, Ling Feng stopped not far away and panted slightly. This short period of time had consumed a lot of his energy.
At this moment, he looked extremely miserable. His face was pale and there was blood at the corner of his mouth. He could no longer maintain his appearance as a scholarly young man, and the protective light around his body was somewhat dim.
With a thunderous roar, Ling Feng waved his hand without hesitation, and an umbrella-shaped magic treasure glowing with silver light appeared above his head. A layer of light curtain flowed down from the top of his head, and when the lightning struck it, it only caused a ripple.
Before Ling Feng could breathe a sigh of relief, a huge arm flew over from afar and slapped him in the chest. Even the entire light screen was dented, but it was not broken in the end. Ling Feng was sent flying again with the impact.
After this short period of fighting, the giant turtle's attack frequency became higher and higher. At the same time, some other spells were released. Frost, fire, and even a cloud of poisonous fog were released, filling this small space.
Ling Feng avoided fighting head-on with the turtle, so he wasn't in as much danger as before. However, he hated Gu Zheng in his heart and blamed all of this on him.
At this moment, he had tested many times. If he wanted to break this shield, he would need to use his full power. However, the turtle didn't give him any time to gather power, so he could only passively take a beating.
At this time, the giant tortoise stopped chasing after him, as if it was getting impatient. A large amount of misty and fantastical clouds surged out from the tortoise shell, as if it was formed by a mixture of dozens of different colored lights. The different clouds and mists churned inside, as if something was brewing.
Ling Feng hurriedly withdrew his consciousness. The large umbrella above his head also shone with silver light and began to spin faster and faster. Countless silver runes shot out from the surface of the umbrella, forming a smooth and clean silver surface. It was as if a silver moon was hanging above his head, protecting Ling Feng under its body.
As soon as he was done, a layer of white smoke rose from the tortoiseshell. After making a turn in the air, it headed straight for Ling Feng's head.
This white smoke didn't seem to be harmful, but once it touched the silver light barrier, it began to sizzle. Large amounts of smoke continued to rise, but the shield was clearly unable to block the smoke. Some of the white smoke had already seeped into the shield and began to attack the umbrella a second time.
At this moment, Ling Feng's expression became even more unsightly. This was because when the white smoke came into contact with his magic treasure, it began to erase the spirit light on it. He could feel his magic treasure's power shrinking bit by bit. He gradually lost control of it, and even the silver light outside became unstable.
In a moment of desperation, Ling Feng continuously made a series of illusionary hand signs while his mouth once again uttered an obscure incantation. Along with a wave of ripples in the air, the entire umbrella surface suddenly swayed with silver flames. The smoke was instantly burned into a cloud of smoke, losing its original effect.
From Gu Zheng's point of view, Ling Feng had turned into a silver fireball. As the smoke continued to pour down, it continued to soar into the sky. However, what he didn't know was that while Ling Feng's line of sight was obstructed, the giant tortoise had turned into a giant figure and charged toward him.
When the last wisp of smoke dissipated, Ling Feng finally let out a sigh of relief. However, before he could let out a sigh of relief, his eyes widened and his body tensed up. He quickly rushed to the side.
However, it seemed to be a little too late. The two huge forelimbs had already closed, trapping his silver ball firmly in the palm of his hand, making him unable to move.
"No, I can't die! I still have to get revenge for Kou Qi! "
Ling Feng looked at the magic treasure above him. The layers of silver flames continued to collapse and disappear. The shield became smaller and smaller, and the light from the magic treasure became dimmer and dimmer. It looked like he wouldn't be able to hold on for much longer. When the magic treasure was destroyed, his body would be crushed into a meat patty.
At this moment, Ling Feng's eyes were red and his body was trembling. His eyes were filled with unwillingness. At this moment, the three Ling Fengs appeared at the same time, but this time, their expressions were different. One was happy, one was angry, and one was happy.
Three different lights appeared from the three of them at the same time. They bit the tip of their tongues and spat out three mouthfuls of blood of different colours, which entered the magic treasures above their heads. Their auras had been forcibly pushed to the peak, causing Gu Zheng to feel shocked.
The umbrella magic treasure was originally on the verge of breaking, but after the blood entered, it suddenly shined brightly. The silver flames that surrounded it all flew back and formed a blooming lotus on the surface of the magic treasure.
The surrounding silver runes also fell onto the lotus flower, and silver traces appeared on the lotus flower, forming complicated patterns. The entire magic treasure quickly expanded.
A silver fireball suddenly exploded and countless silver shockwaves mixed with sparks spread out in all directions.
The explosion directly blasted open the giant tortoise's palms, and a small gap was forcibly opened.
At the same time, three figures covered in spirit light rushed out in different directions without waiting for the violent shockwave to stabilize a bit.
"Open for me!"
Although their expressions were different, everyone let out a shout from the bottom of their hearts at the same time. Everyone's actions were the same. As they rushed forward, one of their arms pulled back, and then rushed forward again. Then, they threw a punch at the edge that was about to reach.
At this moment, all of his attention was focused on what was before him. If he couldn't break through, there would only be one fate left for him, and that was death.
In the blink of an eye, the three fists hit the edge of the barrier at almost the same time. Three intense colors blossomed from the point of contact. In the blink of an eye, three violent explosions sounded at the same time. Only one of the three figures successfully broke through the barrier in front of him and fled into the distance.
As for the other two figures, they transformed into two wisps of smoke and quickly chased after Ling Feng in the distance.
In an instant, Ling Feng had already escaped from the life and death situation.
The gigantic tortoise looked at Ling Feng, who had fled into the distance. It did not give chase. Instead, it opened its mouth slightly and shot out a beam of light. A distant cloud of smoke instantly exploded. Ling Feng, who was now the size of an ant, suddenly staggered. It was obvious that he had suffered a serious injury.
However, he didn't stop. When the smoke returned to his body, he turned into a ray of light and disappeared into the horizon.
"What a pity!"
Gu Zheng looked at the disappearing figure and regretfully shook his head.
He didn't expect the giant tortoise to chase after him. It wasn't a life and death feud, and he was already very grateful that the tortoise had taken the initiative to come out.
The main reason was that he was also seriously injured and couldn't chase after the tortoise. Otherwise, he would have finished him off once and for all.
However, the tortoise didn't seem to be able to take action this time. Even if he wouldn't let him go, he wouldn't be able to do anything for a while. He would have enough time to let him know how powerful he was.
At this moment, the giant tortoise turned its head and its eyes returned to normal. It looked at Gu Zheng who was standing at the side.
"Thank you, senior, for your help!" Gu Zheng said respectfully.
If he guessed correctly, the injuries on his body were treated by the tortoise. Otherwise, the tortoise wouldn't have stepped forward when he was in danger. The shockwaves caused by their attacks were like tickles to the tortoise.
Moreover, the tortoise didn't reveal any killing intent when he came out. This was also the reason why Gu Zheng didn't take the opportunity to leave.
The giant tortoise glanced at Gu Zheng and said, "You should leave. The other party's injuries won't be healed in half a year. Consider it repaying her kindness."
The giant tortoise's voice shook the air slightly, but there was no hostility in its tone. It was as if it was talking to a stranger.
"Don't think about staying here forever. I like peace and quiet. Leave this place."
Without giving Gu Zheng time to speak, it slowly sank to the bottom of the lake and disappeared.
Gu Zheng looked at the giant tortoise that disappeared and cupped his hands to thank it. Since the tortoise didn't want to deal with him, there was no need for him to be nice to it. Only then did he leave the lake and continue to fly away.
Not far away from Gu Zheng, a familiar voice sounded in his ear.
"Send my regards to Princess Xiangxiang!"
Gu Zheng's body paused for a moment, and then he continued flying towards the sea without looking back.
He was already mentally prepared because he didn't know the other party at all. The only person who could get the other party to help him was probably Xiangxiang.
He really didn't expect that she had done so many things in the past. It felt as if everyone around here had received her help and had to accept her favor. Even he had benefited a lot.
After silently thanking Xiangxiang in his heart, Gu Zheng didn't stop and continued to move forward.
After three days, Gu Zheng finally saw the boundless sea. Compared to the other side, this place was even more uninhabited. All he could see was an empty area.
Gu Zheng didn't stop, but continued to move forward while looking for a suitable place. Finally, after another two days, he landed on a remote island.
Although it was called an island, it was more like a relatively large reef. There were only scattered trees on it. Apart from some birds, there were no other creatures. It was very peaceful, which made Gu Zheng very satisfied.
After casually driving away those birds, Gu Zheng began to arrange a magic array on the island. It took him a total of one day to arrange a magic array on the island that could speed up his recovery.
After doing all this, Gu Zheng arranged more than a dozen simple protection and concealment magic arrays on the periphery of the island. The entire island was watertight. Even if a Jin Xian in the late stage suddenly attacked here, he would be able to buy some time and prevent the other party from breaking in.
After doing all this, Gu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief. Then, he walked to the center of the magic array, activated all the magic arrays, and sat down cross-legged.
As countless rays of light appeared outside the island, the magic arrays of various colors began to take effect. Then, they slowly hid in the void. At this time, the island had disappeared from the eyes of the outside world.
However, this place was remote and desolate. It was unlikely that anyone would coincidentally pass by this place. Gu Zheng was mainly on guard against Ling Feng, who had fled earlier. If Ling Feng were to consume some sort of miraculous elixir to quickly recover his strength and catch up to him, Gu Zheng would be in trouble.
Soon, night fell again. In this empty sea, the original position of the island flashed with a huge light from time to time. Especially in the night, the light could penetrate dozens of miles away.
However, the situation wasn't as Gu Zheng thought. No one came to disturb him here. Everything was safe and sound.
Three months quickly passed. Accompanied by various magic arrays, the magic arrays on the periphery of the island were broken and the island reappeared in the sea.
At this time, Gu Zheng appeared in the middle of the island full of energy. His right hand was holding an apple-sized blood ball. Although the blood ball was constantly struggling, it was always shrouded in a thin layer of white mist. It couldn't break free.
After two months of recuperation, not only did he adjust his body to its peak state, he also forced out the blood ball that had soaked into his body.
However, Gu Zheng didn't have any anger towards that ball of black gas. After thinking of various methods and studying it carefully, he realized that his current strength was just a little bit lacking. Otherwise, he could have used his strength to destroy this wisp of consciousness.
Although this was a wisp of consciousness left by Big Luo, it was too weak. Even so, it wasn't something that Gu Zheng could break with his current strength. He could only use the seal to continue suppressing it.
Feeling the half-broken seal in his body, Gu Zheng sighed helplessly. He really missed the past. If it wasn't for this burden, he wouldn't have been chased away by two Jin Xian pinnacle experts.
However, he didn't have a good solution. He still lacked an earth-type material to completely break the seal. However, this was something that could only be found by chance. He couldn't rush it.
To be honest, Gu Zheng didn't want to wait for time. He had tried to slowly remove the half-broken seal. Even if he couldn't do anything to the other party now, if he tried to break it by force, he would probably turn into a half-idiot.
These questions flashed through his mind. At this moment, he thought of the enemy who was chasing after him. Gu Zheng couldn't help but admit that the other party was a strong enemy. Even if he recovered his strength, he wouldn't dare to say that he could win against the other party.
The other party's injuries were probably almost healed. Although the giant tortoise said that it would take at least half a year to recover, the other party wasn't a Rogue Cultivator. He must have many good treasures in his hands. However, the other party hadn't shown up yet. This made Gu Zheng feel a little uneasy.
After dealing with the ball of blood in his hand, Gu Zheng thought about what he needed to do next.
Gu Zheng looked around in mid-air. It wasn't much different from when he first came. Gu Zheng's figure stood there without moving. Finally, he thought of something. Then, as if he had made a decision, he turned into a stream of light and disappeared from the island.
.....
Two months later, in the middle of an endless mountain range, a scream suddenly sounded from the center. That sound made people feel carefree and unrestrained, as if there was endless excitement in it.
The roar was deafening, enough to pierce through the nine heavens.
After the roar, the mountain range was silent. Countless creatures hid on the ground and trembled. Especially some intelligent creatures, their eyes were filled with fear and excitement.
They didn't think that they would have such a powerful person here. They really hoped that they could become his disciple.
However, their hopes were quickly dashed. As the roar fell, a young man in black clothes rushed up to the sky and floated above the mountain range.
At this moment, he was shining brightly. His body was full of vitality, as if he had endless strength. However, as his breathing gradually stabilized, the aura on his body was quickly restrained. There wasn't any aura leaking out at all. It was as if he had become a different person.
This person was none other than Ling Feng, who had just come out of seclusion.
Then, his figure shook, and three figures appeared beside him. There was one more than before. In the eyes of the extra figure, there seemed to be an indescribable sorrow flashing within.
"I never thought that I would break through the last stage of the cultivation method at the last moment. As long as I gather these three figures again, it'll be the time for me to advance to the Grand Heavenly Realm."
Ling Feng sensed his last clone and couldn't help but say with joy.
As he spoke, a wave of pressure surged from his body again. Compared to before, it didn't have as much of a sharpness as before. It was like a stone that had been ground flat. It wasn't as arrogant as before because all the essence had been retracted into his body.
Although it didn't seem to be a threat, it was even more terrifying than before! It could be said that he had been reborn.
Ling Feng stood in the air and sensed the changes in his body. After a while, he calmed down. He looked at the horizon and sneered.
"Gu Zheng, run as much as you want. Even if you run to the ends of the earth, don't think that you can escape from my grasp. I'll use your head as a sacrifice to Brother Kou Qi!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a pitch-black bug was held in his hand again. He carefully sensed Gu Zheng's position.
After a long time, he put away the black bug in his hand and aimed in a direction. His entire body quickly turned into a streak of light and disappeared.
