"Then don't blame me for being ruthless!"
As soon as his voice fell, Kui Qiang immediately opened the golden scroll in his hand.
A dazzling golden light appeared from the scroll and shot out in all directions at an extremely fast speed. At the same time, a strange fluctuation rose up in the surroundings.
The originally faintly discernible Joss Flame power enveloping the small island dissipated when it came into contact with the golden light.
On the statue in the middle, a large mass of red light rose up with a bang, as if it was responding to the strange fluctuation.
At this time, any protection of the island had completely disappeared. It was naked in front of Kui Qiang's eyes.
It was like a shy girl, waiting to see if he could take it down.
Above the sky, a golden eye was already erected in the air. The golden eye coldly stared down, making the people below tremble in fear.
Not only the area below, but everything within a radius of tens of thousands of kilometers was being monitored by it, and everything would be recorded accordingly.
"Half a day later, my men will be here. Ancestor God of West Feng Island, I, Kui Qiang, will challenge you later. I hope you won't back down!" Kui Qiang said coldly.
"I, Gu Zheng, will be waiting for your arrival. I hope you won't kneel down and surrender later." Gu Zheng crossed his arms and replied coldly. Watching the figure of the other party fly out, he returned to the village.
The battle for territory was actually a battle between the people below. As for the ancestor gods, they could participate or not.
The opponent was only the other party's ancestor god. Winning or losing would not affect the overall situation.
It mainly depended on the people below. If they lost, then Gu Zheng would have to take them away from this place. They could either find a place by themselves, or listen to the orders of the higher-ups and find a safe place to settle down.
Just like a stray dog, they were the symbol of the loser.
And if he won, then the other party would have to pay a part of the ancestor god's power, which was actually some of the power of the Red Pearl. Then, he could increase the number of devout people below him and cultivate more powerful subordinates.
"Ancestor God, we have to prepare for battle," Ren Jie said bitterly to Gu Zheng.
"Go!"
Gu Zheng had no choice. The other party said that they would reconcile after handing over Hai Ming. He could see at a glance that the other party was stalling.
If he really handed it over, he wouldn't come, but someone else would.
They were a group of several Ancestral Gods who had banded together to form an even larger scale tribe. Their leader, the Ocean King, possessed unfathomable strength. However, he was always at the center of the tribe. In any case, they had never seen him before. This information was obtained from Manager Feng.
Who would have thought that the Sea King was Hai Ming's father?
While Gu Zheng was staying, Ren Jie had already summoned all the combatants. For such a small village, there were only a mere hundred combatants, and their strength ranged from Tier 2 to Tier 5. In the previous battle, more than a dozen had already been sacrificed.
Ren Jie once again had the villagers gather in the square. After fiddling with the token in his hand a few times, a layer of red shield rose in the square, firmly protecting everyone.
At this moment, in Gu Zheng's perception, a dozen or so ships were slowly approaching the island from afar.
On the other side, Ren Jie led everyone to pray to the statue. He chanted a templated prayer incantation to establish a connection with the statue.
Even the people at the side knelt together to cheer for them. However, they only gave them moral support.
Following their prayers, a layer of faint red mist appeared on Gu Zheng's statue, and it became denser and denser. Soon, the entire statue was covered tightly.
At this moment, the two red lights on the statue lit up. Even if there was a layer of red mist on the outside, they could still see clearly. Rays of red light shot out from the statue's eyes.
Every time a ray of red light came out, a trace of red mist would follow it and enter the bodies of the combatants below.
Soon, a thick layer of red mist enveloped everyone's body. It seeped into their bodies and adhered to the surface of their bodies, quickly forming a fiery red shield.
Especially on Ren Jie and the others, the dense red mist had already formed red battle suits that covered their bodies.
The stronger they were, the more red mist they could absorb, and the higher the hidden bonus it gave them.
"Let's go!"
Everyone's red mist rolled violently, forming weapons of different shapes in their hands. Ren Jie and the others had enough red mist. The battle suits on their bodies were only slightly dimmed, but they still provided a good defense.
Ren Jie and the others would not fight with them in the village. The moment the other party came ashore, they could launch a counterattack. Moreover, the red mist on their bodies would not weaken with the passage of time on the island.
On the other hand, because the other party could only receive blessings on the island, when they reached the target place, unless they were the kind who could cast spells at any time, the red mist would be weakened more or less. For the defenders, they had the upper hand.
Soon, all of them approached the edge of the island. At this time, the other party on the island had already reached the shore. Under the prayer just now, nearly 30 enemies had come up. Their bodies were emitting black murderous aura, making it difficult to see the other party's lineup.
"Formation!"
When the other party saw Ren Jie and the others coming, one of them immediately shouted.
The black mist on everyone's body immediately rolled. Wisps of black gas were quickly extracted from the other party's body. In the blink of an eye, a huge black curtain was formed in front of them, enveloping everyone in it.
Following which, balls of flames flew out from Ren Jie's formation, causing the entire black fog to tremble incessantly. Countless black fog evaporated when it came into contact with the fireballs. The originally thick black fog became thin and translucent in the blink of an eye. Through the black curtain, one could see the vague figures behind it, but in the end, it still resisted.
And this side could not condense a new long-range attack for a while. The people in the front row had already rushed toward the other party.
At the same time, seven figures flew out from the ship behind the other party. They floated in the air and looked at the square formation coldly. In the human world, they did not make a move just now because their opponents were different.
Every level had an opponent of a level. No one was allowed to cross the level. This was the rule.
More than a dozen figures rushed into the sky in an instant. Balls of fiery red figures and balls of black figures were constantly intertwined in the air.
Sounds of explosions constantly came from the sky, but none of this affected the people below.
The moment the other party's fireballs disappeared, rows of black spears suddenly appeared from the other party's hands. More than forty spears were directly aimed at the people of West Wind Village. Not to be outdone, everyone waved the weapon in their hands. A layer of red curtain appeared on their bodies, firmly protecting the front of their bodies, even the back of their heads. Except for their backs, the rest of their bodies were tightly sealed.
The moment the spears touched the curtain, they were directly vaporized into wisps of black mist and dissipated in the air.
And after blocking the other party's attack, they took advantage of the fact that the other party was unstable and their numbers had not all come up. They hurriedly charged toward the other party.
For a time, the forest below was also filled with killing.
And at this time, Gu Zheng had already locked onto Kui Qiang's position. While they were still praying, his whole body flew toward the sea.
There, Kui Qiang was waiting for him.
Kui Qiang saw a rainbow light speeding over and stopping in front of him. He could not help but laugh.
"I thought you wouldn't dare to come. Just based on this, you have guts. You're worthy of taking the Young Highness as your disciple!"
At this time, Kui Qiang had already suppressed the distracting thoughts in his mind and calmly said to Gu Zheng.
"Why shouldn't I come? Don't tell me you're going to kill me? "Gu Zheng asked deliberately.
One must know that in the territorial war, the battle between ancestor gods did not affect the outcome, but they would not kill each other. At most, they would severely injure each other.
If Gu Zheng really did not come, he would have no choice but to let him go this time.
However, avoiding the battle like this would greatly affect the morale of the people here. Generally, very few people would refuse.
Everything was for the safety of the Young Highness. Who would have thought that a mere ancestor god would dare to go against them?
"It's not up to you to decide. Maybe only your Sea King is qualified to say this to me?" Gu Zheng raised his eyebrows and looked at the arrogant person in front of him. He really thought that he was a mid-stage Jin Xian.
Gu Zheng knew that when he was bathing the ancestor god, the other party had already collected information about him. However, it was probably just based on his aura and could not even determine the abnormality in his body.
Although he was only a mid-stage Jin Xian, it was more than enough to deal with him.
Gu Zheng could not help but be glad that there were rules here. Otherwise, if several ancestor gods swarmed him, he would probably have to run again.
"Arrogant and conceited. Let me teach you a lesson on behalf of the Sea King. When the time comes, I'll throw you in front of the Young Highness and know your background. A mere unaffiliated person wants to be the master of our Young Highness? You should see if you're worthy."
Kui Qiang looked at Gu Zheng and said proudly. It was as if he could already see the scene of Gu Zheng kneeling and begging for mercy.
"Who's begging for mercy? Let's wait and see!"
Gu Zheng smiled evilly and suddenly disappeared from where he was.
In the next moment, a silver lightning bolt appeared above Kui Qiang's head. Countless thin electric arcs came down from above and surrounded Kui Qiang within a moment.
A cry of pain was heard from the lightning. Then, a black gas soared into the sky and broke a hole in the lightning net. A figure rushed out from the hole and stopped in the distance.
"Despicable and shameless! How dare you launch a sneak attack! "
Kui Qiang gritted his teeth and said. At this moment, his body was charred black and his clothes were tattered. Some green smoke was rising from his body. He was in a very sorry state.
"Have you become stupid? Is there a sneak attack in a battle?" Gu Zheng sneered. However, he did not continue to pursue. The other party was already prepared. Chasing after him would not result in great results.
"You …" Kui Qiang was furious but he could not refute. After all, what Lin Fan said was the truth. However, he would not admit defeat so easily.
"It's useless to say more. Die!"
Kui Qiang stretched out his hand and a long sword with a hook appeared in his hand. The body of the sword was made of eerie white bones. There were finger-sized holes on it. When he swung it, one could hear the wails of ghosts and howls of wolves. It had the power to disturb one's soul.
Then, Kui Qiang's figure rushed forward and swung the sword at Gu Zheng.
In an instant, countless black sword shadows appeared in the void. At the same time, countless ear-piercing screeches were heard. Even though Gu Zheng had been on guard the moment Kui Qiang took out the long sword, he was still disturbed by Kui Qiang.
His mind was in a mess, and a bloodthirsty feeling suddenly appeared in his heart.
However, Gu Zheng was still able to control his actions. With a flip of his wrist, he raised an ordinary-looking sword and tapped the air in front of him. Specks of golden light spread out in the air, forming ripples that kept on spreading out.
The sound of tidal waves roaring was heard. The golden patterns were like stormy waves crashing towards Kui Qiang. Even the wails in the air were suppressed.
The dazzling black sword shadows melted like snow under the impact of the golden patterns, revealing Kui Qiang who was hiding at the side.
"Not bad!"
Instead, Kui Qiang laughed. He suddenly spread out two wings. Black lightning was rolling on them. In an instant, he disappeared in front of Gu Zheng.
For an Ancestor God, if he could not transform in a battle with a Goblin, he could simply admit defeat. Therefore, an Ancestor God could change back to his original form in any way he wanted during the battle.
When Kui Qiang disappeared, Gu Zheng swung his sword upwards without hesitation.
A loud sound of metal clashing was heard.
Gu Zheng's body fell towards the sea below like a meteor. When he was close to the surface, he stopped. He looked at the broken sword in his hand and threw it away. He took out another one.
Kui Qiang's palm had turned into a claw and attacked him from above. Luckily, he had been paying attention to Kui Qiang and reacted in time. He only suffered a slight impact. However, the weapon in his hand was broken by Kui Qiang's claws.
"Swish!"
Gu Zheng's body had just stabilized when Kui Qiang attacked Gu Zheng from the sky like an arrow. He did not give Gu Zheng any time to catch his breath.
Kui Qiang's body was facing downwards. He held a sword in one hand and five claws in the other.
Gu Zheng's body flashed and appeared on another level. He only left a blurry image on the spot.
"Hoo-Hoo!"
Seeing this, Kui Qiang turned his body to the side, facing Gu Zheng below him. His wings flashed with black light as they fiercely flapped forward. Violent astral winds rose out of nowhere. Countless bolts of black lightning burst out from his wings, forming a huge black ball of lightning.
Countless electric arcs jumped back and forth on the ball. The power was astonishing. With the help of the wind, the ball rushed towards Gu Zheng quickly.
"Boom!"
A huge explosion occurred on the surface of the sea. The waves splashed up to a height of ten feet. The waves on the surface of the sea were turbulent. The wind and waves were huge. It was as if a level 10 typhoon was rushing towards the nearby area.
However, after just a few thousand meters, the monstrous giant wolf seemed to have encountered something that was filtering it. Its momentum shrank rapidly, and in the end, it only became a slightly undulating wave.
However, Kui Qiang's face did not show any surprise. His pair of sharp eyes had already turned into vertical pupils. He looked back and forth in the sky.
That was because when the lightning ball was about to hit Kui Qiang, Kui Qiang's figure had already disappeared from the spot.
"What are you looking at! I am behind you! "
At this moment, a thunderous figure exploded behind Kui Qiang. At the same time, an air-piercing sound was approaching him rapidly.
All the hair on Kui Qiang's back stood up. He quickly pounced forward. At the same time, the black light on his wings intensified.
The originally soft feathers quickly stood up one by one. Under the lingering black gas, they instantly separated from the wings and shot toward the densely packed feathers behind him. It was like a black cloud pressing down on a city, basically covering all the space behind him.
However, no matter what Kui Qiang did, Kui Qiang would have to deal with an arrow first.
A trace of a smile appeared on Kui Qiang's face. Kui Qiang was really stupid. He actually warned Kui Qiang. Otherwise, Kui Qiang would have panicked a little and let Kui Qiang get the upper hand.
Unfortunately, before he could finish this thought, a shadow suddenly appeared beside him. From the corner of his eyes, he saw a huge fist appear beside him. Moreover, it was getting bigger and bigger. It was heading towards his head.
Kui Qiang was shocked. However, he did not have time to react. He could only lean to one side and dodge the attack.
"Bang!" a loud sound was heard!
Kui Qiang's body instantly flew to the other side. Like a plane that had lost control, he drew a diagonal line in the air and fell into the sea with a splash.
"You are really pitifully stupid!"
Gu Zheng appeared at the position where Kui Qiang was just a moment ago. He pretended to swing his arm and ridiculed Kui Qiang.
At this moment, there was no one behind him. It was just a mere camouflage. Kui Qiang had been fooled. The arrows that filled the sky disappeared into the distance. They did not have any effect at all.
It was no wonder that Gu Zheng said that. Originally, he thought that he would have to put in some effort. He did not expect Kui Qiang to be fooled so easily.
It seemed that a comfortable life would indeed reduce one's strength.
"Splash!"
A huge wave rose from the surface of the sea and surged towards Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng just casually pointed and the ordinary seawater was frozen in the air. Then, it fell down, revealing Kui Qiang, who was in an even more sorry state.
"Aiyaya, a phoenix in the water is worse than a chicken. Oh, right, what is your true form? I still don't know, but looking at you, you are definitely not a phoenix!" Gu Zheng looked at Kui Qiang's drenched appearance and sneered.
"Damn it, go to hell!"
Kui Qiang's body shook, and his body returned to its original state. The half-bald feathers would not grow back in a short time. It looked very uncoordinated.
Gu Zheng did not care about his threat. Although his strength was only at the middle stage of Jin Xian, he still felt like he was bullying a demon. However, he was concerned about West Feng Island and did not know what was going on there, so he played with him here.
A loud cry sounded in the air. Gu Zheng withdrew his gaze from West Feng Island. A huge blue bird had suddenly appeared in front of Gu Zheng.
Sharp claws, featherless wings, slender figure, and a pair of eyes full of anger. It looked like an ordinary blue bird. It seemed that Kui Qiang's true form was just an ordinary demon beast. He did not have any special bloodline.
Gu Zheng was not disappointed. Wasn't it easier this way?
Gu Zheng's casual attitude completely angered Kui Qiang. He was actually being looked down upon. Let him see how powerful he was.
