"You've lost!"
Gu Zheng watched as his opponent's body shrunk rapidly. In the end, it turned into a skeleton that was only three meters long. Moreover, it was still tattered. It no longer had the imposing manner from before. It looked more like a stray dog.
There were still white lotuses burning on the surface of the sea. Under the Tiger King's head, no one could see anything. It was as if he had really admitted defeat.
Gu Zheng casually waved his hand. The little bird spread its wings and turned into a ball of white light, returning to Gu Zheng's sleeve.
Gu Zheng glanced at the white bones below and flew towards the distant island. It was as if he was going to let him go.
This was because the heavily injured Ming Hu had already lost the ability to compete for the island.
At this moment, Ming Hu finally raised his head. His eyes were filled with unwillingness. He looked at Gu Zheng's back. A vicious look flashed in his eyes. His entire body rose into the air again. All the cold white flames under the sea gathered on his body and rushed towards Gu Zheng's back.
His body seemed to turn into a void in the air. He did not make any sound in the air. He quietly advanced forward. His entire body was burning with angry flames.
He watched as Ming Hu arrived behind Gu Zheng, but Gu Zheng hadn't noticed.
Ming Hu was overjoyed. He was a dignified White Jade Tiger. How could he be defeated by someone weaker than him?
The flames on his body had already hit the small front claws. This time, he was going to destroy the opponent's body and soul.
In order to protect his dignity, he was willing to do even a sneak attack.
However, he didn't see the sneer on Gu Zheng's face. Gu Zheng didn't plan on letting him go at all. It was just that he had consumed too much of Gu Zheng's soul just now. The cold flames above the sea made him feel apprehensive.
He had absolute confidence that the other party would definitely sneak attack him.
Just as Ming Hu was about to touch Gu Zheng, Gu Zheng's figure suddenly flashed. He dodged the other party's sneak attack and instantly appeared beside him.
"What?"
This time, Ming Hu turned pale with fright. He saw the little bird fly out of his sleeve again and cover Gu Zheng's fist. A ball of white fire burned on his fist, but it made his heart sink endlessly.
Gu Zheng swung his fist at Si An, and the flames in his hand immediately fell off. They turned into a huge flaming fist that whistled out, landing heavily on Si An's head.
"Boom!" A loud sound was heard, accompanied by raging flames that soared to the sky.
Even the Abyss Tiger, who was already a crossbow, could not withstand such an intense blow.
Countless white bone fragments were blasted into pieces on the spot, flying in all directions. At the same time, even more bone fragments were burned into ashes and fell from the sky.
When the flames in the sky once again condensed into a small white bird, the Abyss Tiger had completely disappeared from this world.
"Chirp."
The little bird flapped its wings happily, as if it had just completed a mission. Its entire body turned into a white line and returned to the center of the Li Ring.
"Thank you for your hard work."
Gu Zheng gently stroked the Li Ring in his hand. He could feel her fatigue. After erupting with such combat strength, it seemed like she would need to rest for a long time.
Seeing that the surrounding space had returned to normal, Gu Zheng got up and quickly headed towards the island. However, he did not go to Sun Weixin's side. Instead, he hurried back to his own tribe to see what had happened.
Not long after Gu Zheng left, balls of white flames suddenly appeared on the surface of the sea. Then, they gradually gathered together and formed a larger ball of light.
The white flames continued to churn and finally bloomed like a lotus flower. A tiger less than three feet tall rose from the center. At this moment, his eyes flashed with resentment as he looked at Gu Zheng's disappearing figure.
Even so, the Tiger King was still not completely dead. Although his physical body was gone, his soul still relied on a strange method to survive.
"Just you wait. You will wait for my revenge. I will remember you forever."
A low roar came from his mouth, as if he was an evil spirit that had crawled out from hell, waiting for revenge.
"Great. Take it. Maybe I can exchange it for my things!"
Just as the Tiger King's voice fell, he suddenly felt darkness above his head. In the blink of an eye, he found himself trapped in a crystal-like jade. Only then did he realize that he was in the hands of a beautiful woman in a deep purple dress.
"Who are you? Let me go. Do you know who I am? Be careful or I will devour your soul. "The Tiger King tried to break out but failed. Then, he threatened in a low voice.
"Just stay in there obediently. Be careful or I will wipe out your divine sense now. Anyway, it doesn't make any difference to me." The woman who was originally smiling had a cold expression. Her purple eyes looked at the tiger in her hand and threatened.
"You dare to threaten me?" Ming Hu was not humiliated like this. He was fuming with anger and kept roaring.
"Shut up!" The woman glared at him fiercely. A fierce aura erupted from her body, causing Ming Hu's body to tremble. Feeling the aura that was not inferior to his own, he then calmed down.
A wise man knows better than to fight when the odds are against him. Now that he was so weak, and the other party's aura was not inferior to his, if she attacked him, he would be dead for sure.
In his current state, to be honest, not to mention her, even Jin Xian could take care of him.
"Just stay in there obediently. If you dare to do anything, I will crush you to death immediately." The woman said fiercely. Seeing that the other party had obediently curled up into a ball, she nodded her head in satisfaction.
This jade-like pearl slowly shrank. Finally, it was worn under the earring on one side of her ear. On the other side, there was another pearl that was exactly the same as this one, shining with a dazzling purple light.
"But this price is not too safe. Maybe I should think of a way to get close to him. It would be best if I could steal it!" The woman muttered to herself. After glancing at the island, she left again.
.....
After rushing for half a day, Gu Zheng finally rushed back to his base.
He had long known that his side had won, but he did not know how many casualties there were.
However, Gu Zheng did not look for Ren Jie directly. Instead, he went to the top of the mountain first.
As soon as he landed, He Sheng, who was dozing off beside him, opened his eyes. He cupped his hands and said to Gu Zheng.
"Young Master Gu is really admirable. You actually fought a few battles consecutively and even took down the Tiger King."
He knew about the battle outside clearly. He had no idea how it was going, but the moment Gu Zheng returned, the outcome was clear. He could not help but smile. After all, he had chosen to bet his life on it. It seemed like he had chosen the right path.
"Congratulations to you too. I didn't expect you to break through your limits."
At this time, He Sheng had already advanced to Jin Xian Middle-stage. Although Gu Zheng did not know who He Sheng's opponent was, he knew that the previous battle was really a battle to the death when he felt He Sheng's aura.
"No matter what, we won after all!" He Sheng did not want to talk about his battle just now. No matter how difficult it was, even if he had passed through death several times, he should bear it. He would not complain about others even if he died.
"You are right. I said, we will not lose!" Gu Zheng laughed. His body's fatigue was swept away. Although there was some skill in it, he still won in the end. His biggest competitor had died in his hands. As for the remaining demon tribe, it was estimated that as long as Hai Ming went there, he would be able to solve it.
As for Sun Weixin's side, there was no need to worry. Two were seriously injured and one was slightly injured. When he recovered some of his vitality, they would not be his opponent at all.
After chatting with He Sheng for a while, Gu Zheng flew down. In the huge camp in the distance, all the wounded were gathered here. However, they weren't as depressed as they usually were. Instead, most of them were bragging about their achievements.
Many of them had very serious injuries. Broken legs and arms were minor injuries. There was even one who did not have half a face. Even half of his waist was missing. He could only lie on the ground. Under the effect of medicinal pills, he could only temporarily hang on to his life. However, he still could not speak clearly to the side.
His face was full of excitement, as if he did not care about his injuries at all. If he was not treated in a few days, he would die completely.
Yes, no one was worried. All the wounded who still had a breath of life, those who could not be treated even with divine pills and miraculous medicines, were here. They all believed that under the glory of the ancestor god, they would definitely return to normal.
There were even more than ten seriously injured Celestial Immortals here. They were only using some strange methods to hang on to a trace of life force. Otherwise, they would have died long ago.
Only a few Celestial Immortals were looking after this place. They would check from time to time to ensure that the people inside were living as much as possible.
"Lord ancestor god!"
A sharp-eyed villager suddenly said excitedly. This time, everyone turned to the sky.
They did not care about the premise that their ancestor god could come back alive. If he died in the battle with other ancestor gods, then no matter how optimistic they were, they would have to face reality.
Seeing that Gu Zheng had returned safely, everyone was excited.
Not only did they have hope of recovering from their injuries, it also meant that they had defeated the other party's ancestor god. Didn't that mean that victory was in sight?
Gu Zheng looked at the excited crowd below and did not say anything more. He directly waved the elders who came forward. Then, a barrier rose up and trapped the people inside.
He knew that the battle this time must have been very tragic. Just by looking at the huge number of people here, he knew that more than half of them were injured. This did not include the villagers who had died. One could imagine how cruel the battle was.
He definitely could not let them down. If he wanted to leave this place quickly, he could not do so without their help. In fact, he needed their help.
A white spark appeared on the tip of his finger. With a light flick, a raging fire immediately burned inside. In less than an hour, all of them would be alive and kicking again.
Moreover, Gu Zheng believed that in the next battle, they would be even more fearless. Although Gu Zheng did not want this kind of meaningless battle to make him feel disgusted.
After doing all this, Gu Zheng did not stay here. Instead, with a flash, he went to his own statue. With a thought, a white flame the size of a thumb suddenly appeared in front of him.
Unknowingly or intentionally, when the little bird withdrew the white flame on his body, it still left such a big ball. It was just that a trace of it was drawn away.
Although this white flame did not have the spirituality of that time, its ability was not reduced at all. Even if it was placed on Gu Zheng's body, at a critical moment, it could still block some evil spells with the help of the Li Ring.
However, after Gu Zheng thought for a while, he decided to continue to strengthen the power of his statue. Anyway, it was only a one-time consumable for him. However, if he strengthened the statue, under the incredible conversion of the power of incense, it could last forever. It could also strengthen the survival of his villagers.
The white flame in front of him was instantly integrated into the core of the statue under Gu Zheng's control. However, Gu Zheng did not let it integrate by itself. He felt that the final effect would not be what he wanted.
Instead, he used his Divine Sense to explore the inside of the Red Pearl according to his understanding of the power of incense.
Of course, Gu Zheng did not know how the Red Pearl worked. However, he felt that he had seen through the essence of the power of incense. He felt that it was not too difficult to modify it.
Unfortunately, Gu Zheng just started and found that it was too mysterious. He almost got lost in it. After breaking free from it, he was so scared that he did not dare to explore the core of the statue. He could only make some slight changes to the periphery that he could barely understand.
At this point, Gu Zheng began to modify the statue according to his own wishes.
Because the Red Pearl was not a magic weapon, nor was it a living thing. It was just a dead object that operated according to the rules. It was like an enlarged version of a converter. Whatever you gave it, it would be converted into the meaning of the power of incense. As for the power, it would generally depend on the power you gave it at the beginning.
This was Gu Zheng's idea according to his own understanding.
However, Gu Zheng began to modify the inside of the statue according to his own understanding of the power of incense.
Time passed by slowly. Gu Zheng's body outside had already closed his eyes. He stood under the statue and moved, but his spirit was slowly declining.
Finally, Gu Zheng abruptly opened his eyes. At the same time, a layer of white flames suddenly surged out from the surface of the statue. The flames burned continuously and layers of yellow smoke rose from the surface of the statue. However, the flames only lasted for a short moment before disappearing. From the looks of it, the statue did not appear to have been damaged in any way.
Gu Zheng rubbed his head tiredly. He did not expect it to be so troublesome. However, he still managed to do it. Although he did not know how effective it was, it was definitely better than before.
"Ancestor God!"
A voice rang out beside him. Gu Zheng turned his head and saw that there were already more than a dozen people standing not far away. The leader was Ren Jie and the others.
"Oh, it's you guys. How long have I been here?" Gu Zheng looked around and felt that a lot of time should have passed.
"Ancestor God, you've been standing here for seven days. We didn't know what you were doing, so we didn't dare to disturb you!" They had also seen the strange state of the statue, but they had never seen such a strange thing. They only thought that Gu Zheng was doing something that they did not know.
"It's been so long. Have the injured people come out?" Gu Zheng did not expect that it would take so long to think about the injured people. He could not help but ask awkwardly.
"All of their injuries have completely healed. They are still trapped inside and are waiting for you to release them," Ren Jie said truthfully.
"It's my negligence! Let's go quickly. Are they alright? " Gu Zheng slapped his head. They definitely would not be able to break through his protection. If some people starved to death because of this, he would not be able to lift his face.
"Fortunately, there are elders inside who have prepared a lot of supplies. It's just a little inconvenient."
The group hurriedly returned to where the injured people were. Gu Zheng also understood what he meant by inconvenient. People had three urgent needs. What if they could not get out? They could only solve it on the spot.
Gu Zheng quickly removed the barrier and turned around to quickly leave with them.
The injured people also hurriedly returned home. They really needed to wash their bodies.
"It's indeed a little delayed. Fortunately, it didn't lead to any big mistakes," Gu Zheng said to them after they were a little further away.
"If there really is a problem, we will ask Lord He for help." Ren Jie pointed to the mountain peak. After all, the barrier that Gu Zheng released was not very strong. He Sheng was still able to break it.
"This time, we are here to report the situation of the battle to you. Moreover, there are two things that Ancestor God needs to deal with personally."
"Speak!" A large group of people was waiting for him here. As for the aftermath of the battle, there was no need for him to ask. They had already made the appropriate arrangements.
"This time, under Ancestor God's precise arrangements, we won a complete victory this time. The number of people we lost was not a lot," Ren Jie said excitedly.
After giving a general description of the battle, he summarized some post-battle trifles. Now, he had captured all the other party's people. However, he built a huge captive camp in their camp.
As for the ordinary residents, they were simply tied up to prevent them from escaping. Although they had nowhere to go, they had nowhere to go.
"For the casualties, compensate them more in the future. Don't let them feel disappointed. Also, for those friends who came to support, they also lost a lot of people this time!" Gu Zheng said to Ren Jie.
"I know. Those people who came to support went back immediately. I wanted to keep them, but I couldn't. This time, they lost a lot more people than us. It seems that the people of the Tiger King Tribe felt that these people betrayed them and attacked them." Ren Jie was speechless when he thought of the scene at that time.
It was as if the demons had an irreconcilable enmity with them. On the contrary, they seemed to have come to support the other party. Otherwise, not only would they have lost less than 20 people, half of the people of the Tiger King Tribe would have died here.
"Hmm, what are the two things you mentioned? Tell me about them."
"It's like this. The demons who came to support us sent people over. They said that they wanted to invite Senior Gu over." At this time, only Ren Jie and Gu Zheng were left. The others had already left and were busy with their own matters.
"The other thing is that we informed our captives in advance that they wanted to leave. However, you were in a state of contemplation at that time, so I suppressed it and asked them to wait. You see how to deal with it." Ren Jie said the two things in one breath, especially the matter of the captives. At that time, he had heard Gu Zheng's words with his own ears, so he didn't dare to act on his own.
"How about this, you take me to the captives over there first. After all, the other party still contributed to us," Gu Zheng said to Ren Jie after thinking for a while.
"Okay, their location has been changed. Senior Gu, I'll take you there!"
