After figuring it out, Gu Zheng glanced at his surroundings. A hazy illusion appeared in his heart. It was as if he was in a dream, not real at all. Perhaps the other party had used a special method to deceive this world, preventing others from noticing the difference.
Perhaps the previous phenomenon was also caused by him. What a good method. No wonder Song Hu himself did not notice him.
"A mere late-stage Jin Xian. Seeing how careful you are, I'm afraid your strength hasn't reached that level yet. You dare to threaten me? I think you're the one who doesn't know the difference between life and death." Gu Zheng looked at the other party's arrogant momentum, as if he could finish him off with a few punches and kicks.
"Fellow Daoist, be careful. The other party is very strange. Initially, in order to stop his actions, I wanted to use a battle to attract the attention of the deacon. However, I discovered that the other party has an ability to conceal the surrounding space. Furthermore, his attack method is even more strange." The purple woman below also had a late-stage Jin Xian cultivation. However, from the looks of it, she was no match for the other party.
Gu Zheng nodded slightly. Then, he turned his gaze to Song Hu in the distance. His figure flashed and instantly appeared above Song Hu's head. A pair of shining golden fists punched towards Song Hu's head.
Song Hu looked at the aura that suddenly erupted from Gu Zheng's body. His pupils abruptly shrank. The black barrier that had yet to be removed suddenly emitted a black light. Following that, he also threw a punch at the other party.
"Bang!" A loud sound rang out. The black light that filled the sky dissipated in the air. A figure directly retreated from it with an ugly expression as he looked inside.
As the black light dissipated, Gu Zheng's figure appeared at Song Hu's original position.
Compared to Gu Zheng's relaxed expression, the gloomy Song Hu was clearly at a disadvantage.
With just one exchange, Gu Zheng knew that the other party's strength was probably only at the mid-stage Jin Xian. However, the woman was in such a sorry state. It seemed that the other party had something that he had yet to take out.
Gu Zheng's figure flashed and once again pounced towards the other party. Since he knew that the other party had yet to completely control Song Hu's body, he naturally had to attack the other party's weakness and make use of his advantage.
However, before Gu Zheng could approach, the other party glanced at Gu Zheng. Then, his body suddenly transformed into countless black dots and disappeared from the sky.
Gu Zheng's figure stopped and he released his Divine Sense to carefully scan the surroundings. However, he did not find any trace of the other party. It was as if the other party had disappeared from the vicinity.
Moreover, the entire sky was filled with all kinds of strange energies that constantly interfered with his divine sense. They even wanted to attach themselves to it and corrode Gu Zheng's divine sense.
The entire sky was silent, as if he had already left this place. However, Gu Zheng could vaguely sense that a pair of eyes was peeping at him from a place he couldn't sense, wanting to find a flaw in his defense.
At the same time, the woman below also raised a purple barrier, surrounding herself tightly in case the other party launched a sneak attack on her.
"If you don't come out, I will leave this place and release my aura to attract the attention of others," Gu Zheng said, taking a step forward.
At that moment, a grey-coloured smoke suddenly appeared beside Gu Zheng. It silently charged towards Gu Zheng's back.
As for Gu Zheng, it appeared as though he had not noticed it. By the time he noticed it, it was already too late to stop it. The grey-coloured smoke had already entered Gu Zheng's body.
"And here I was wondering how powerful you are. It turns out you are just a bluff." After succeeding, Song Hu revealed himself.
The purple-clad woman below him also had a puzzled look on her face. She did not know why Song Hu had allowed the other party's attack to enter her body.
"As expected, it is mixed with some Joss Flame power and demonic energy. The Joss Flame power here must have greatly enhanced your abilities. Otherwise, how could you have taken over the original owner?" Gu Zheng's face showed no signs of panic. Instead, it appeared as though he was praising Song Hu.
"Act? I'll let you act. Let me see the fireworks blooming inside your body." Song Hu revealed a look of disdain. He then made a grasping motion at Gu Zheng, wanting to detonate the power within the smoke.
However, he had already completed the gesture. Forget blasting a hole in Gu Zheng's body, even the hallucinatory effect of the grey smoke had failed to take effect.
Song Hu had personally tested it. So long as he struck someone inside their body, the person would only be in a state of confusion. That bit of time was more than enough for him to do anything.
"How is this possible?!" Song Hu looked at Gu Zheng in shock. The grey-coloured smoke had appeared in Song Hu's hand. At that moment, it was as though the grey-coloured smoke had become a toy in Song Hu's hand. Song Hu had completely lost control over it.
"You are honoured to have allowed me to test out my newest move." Gu Zheng chuckled. Then, he abruptly hurled the grey-coloured smoke in his hand outwards. Like an arrow, it shot towards Song Hu.
The next moment, Song Hu's silhouette disappeared once more. However, the grey smoke in the air seemed to know where Song Hu was. It forcibly made a half circle in the air before chasing in another direction.
But after just two steps, the grey smoke once again changed directions in the air.
"How could your own thing escape his pursuit?" Gu Zheng chuckled. His body was already tense, but he deliberately said that.
"Damn, what kind of spell is this?" After Song Hu went back and forth a few times, he discovered that he simply couldn't avoid being locked onto by the grey smoke. Moreover, he couldn't control it at all. He knew the might of spells and didn't want to bear the brunt of his own spell's might. With a wave of his hand, two huge objects covered in black flames appeared in the air.
After the flames appeared on the two objects, they soared a few dozen meters into the air. They were like two huge black eyes looking at Gu Zheng.
The black flames were like flowing water, continuously dripping down from above. When the ground came in contact with the black flames, it actually corroded small holes.
Gu Zheng sneered. He didn't care about the other side's terrifying might and instead said to the people below, "Miss, please protect the humans and monsters over there so that they won't be affected by the shoes. Leave this nondescript monster to me."
The woman froze for a moment before nodding. She quickly rushed to the side of the unconscious humans and took out a small, sparkling, translucent shell-like thing. She put it on the ground and a huge, solid shell the size of a house appeared outside, enveloping everyone inside.
After the woman finished, she saw that Gu Zheng wasn't paying attention to her and secretly sighed in relief before continuing to watch from outside.
At this moment, Song Hu was no longer as relaxed as before. His eyes were sharp as he looked at Gu Zheng. Both of his hands were constantly waving. The originally loose black flames became more solid as the grey mist entered them. They shrunk to half their original size, but the aura they gave off became even more tyrannical.
"Hu hu"
Song Hu took advantage of the time when Gu Zheng was speaking to cast his last spell and pushed it towards Gu Zheng. The two black flames were only the size of a head. The surface of the two black flames was like flowing water. The dense and terrifying black flames were constantly burning on the surface. The entire air was filled with crackling sounds.
At this moment, through the somewhat transparent black flames, Gu Zheng discovered that the two cores were actually two round teeth.
However, Gu Zheng had a relaxed smile on his face. He looked at the two black flames sweeping towards him. Wherever they passed, they would leave a black mark in the air. He still didn't care. A faint yellow mist appeared on his two arms as he grabbed at the black flames in the air.
Two arms made of yellow mist instantly surged out of Gu Zheng's arms. Their five fingers formed claws in the air. They weren't afraid of the monstrous might at all. They directly reached into the raging flames and grabbed deeply, forcibly stopping the momentum of the black flames in the air.
Strands of black flames burned along the yellow arms, but they weren't harmed in the slightest.
When Song Hu saw this, he frowned. He pointed a few times in the air and a transparent fluctuation came from the air. The two black flames seemed to have been injected with chicken blood and suddenly began to revolve.
Countless black flames were like fireworks as they constantly splashed in all directions. The flowing black water was also like flowing water. It actually began to struggle free from the yellow arms.
Gu Zheng narrowed his eyes and a barrier rose around him, blocking the splashing black flames. He felt that he was about to lose control of the other party's black flames, especially the teeth that were holding the cores. They actually began to rotate and began to shatter the yellow arms. It seemed that he wouldn't be able to hold on any longer.
Gu Zheng extended his hands and suddenly raised them, making a posture as if he was flying towards the sky. At the same time, the two arms shone brightly with yellow light. Together with the black flames in his hands, they soared into the sky. Immediately, two balls of yellow light burst out and surrounded the two black flames. The two balls of yellow light continued to melt the black flames.
After doing all this, Gu Zheng took advantage of the fact that Song Hu's mind was in turmoil. His figure suddenly flashed and appeared in front of Song Hu. He raised his huge fist and punched at Song Hu's head.
However, Song Hu was already prepared for this sneak attack. The moment he saw Liu Ming coming, a black shield suddenly appeared in front of him. The shield was covered in black scales and the front was filled with uneven spikes. It looked like its defensive power was astonishing.
Gu Zheng's mouth flashed with a trace of disdain. His entire arm flashed with yellow light and became thicker. He instantly hit the shield.
"Bang!" A loud sound rang out.
When the huge impact hit the shield, the originally shining shield suddenly became dim. The spikes in the middle of the shield were all turned to dust and a large part of the shield was caved in.
Song Hu, who was behind Liu Ming, was also involuntarily sent flying by the huge force.
He had never imagined that his opponent's strength would be so great that he would not be able to withstand a single blow. Even half of his magic weapon had been destroyed. However, he had no time to feel sorry for his magic weapon. Before he could stabilize his body, he saw a black shadow flash from the side. His opponent had actually chased after him again and unceremoniously threw a punch at him.
"Boom!" A loud sound rang out, mixed with the dull sound of metal being torn apart.
The instant the shield came into contact with Gu Zheng, a black light flashed. It gathered all of its spiritual energy in an attempt to block the attack, but it was still split in two, shattering into two pieces.
Gu Zheng, who didn't lose any momentum, took advantage of the situation and rushed toward Song Hu's chest. He heavily smashed into Song Hu's chest.
"Kacha!" A crisp sound rang out and a large part of Song Hu's chest caved in.
A large mouthful of blood mixed with pieces of his internal organs was spat out from his mouth. His entire body smashed into the ground below like a meteor. With a rumble, a huge crater appeared below, and a huge cloud of dust completely submerged him underneath.
Gu Zheng slowly withdrew his fist and floated in the air. He looked down with some doubt. Although his punch was powerful and caused such a large injury to Song Hu, in his opinion, Song Hu's aura didn't decrease at all. Instead, it became stronger.
While he was puzzled, a muffled thunder suddenly rang out in the air. It was as if it was right next to his ear and an invisible vibration suddenly appeared in the air.
Gu Zheng's eyes focused and his body rose a bit higher. He looked down.
At the place where Song Hu landed, a large amount of black gas surged out. In the blink of an eye, it covered the entire ground. The only thing that made Gu Zheng feel relieved was that the woman's protection was still on the ground, firmly protecting those people.
Following the appearance of the endless demonic Qi below, it continued to surge up into the air. The entire world dimmed and the sky was filled with black fog. The Yin Qi was heavy.
As the black fog above continued to surge, a large face emerged from the black fog. It was Song Hu's face.
"It wasn't easy for me to obtain his physical body. You destroyed it just like that. I'll use your body as compensation." A slightly hoarse voice rose from above.
"You're actually an inner demon." Only then did Gu Zheng realize Song Hu's situation. An inner demon was born in his heart. In addition to the mutation of the Joss Flames, it ultimately caused him to devour Song Hu.
Song Hu's inner demon was probably already formed when he came here. However, he didn't notice it at all, which ultimately led to the tragedy.
"I'm not that low-level inner demon. I've already devoured him. I'm just an evil thought in his heart. He is me, and I am him! There's no difference. "The black fog churned and a deafening buzzing sound rang out.
Before Gu Zheng could reply, a black flame surged out from Song Hu's body. It turned into black flames that filled the sky and shot towards Gu Zheng.
At some point in time, Gu Zheng had already raised a golden sword in his hand. He slowly raised the sword and pointed it towards the sky.
When Gu Zheng raised his sword, countless golden sword shadows surged out from the sword and circled around him. In the blink of an eye, a thick layer of sword shadows had formed around him. When the tip of the sword was pointed at the sky, the sword shadows in the sky suddenly trembled and all of them stood behind Gu Zheng in an orderly manner.
The dense sword shadows emitted a golden light. Their bodies trembled slightly and their sword tips also pointed towards the sky.
"Go!"
The sword in Gu Zheng's hand instantly left his hand and charged upwards like lightning. At the same time, the figure behind him followed closely behind the sword and surged upwards like a river.
In mid-air, a series of explosions rang out as sword lights flickered in and out of existence. Every time they flickered, large patches of Demonic Flames would be torn apart and scattered in all directions.
Large amounts of demonic flames were cleared away. Even though the demonic face above kept churning and spitting out black flames, it was still unable to break through the sword formation's obstruction.
However, Gu Zheng was already in the middle of the black fog. More and more black fog was closing in on him.
At this moment, Song Hu laughed. He no longer spat out black flames from his mouth. Instead, he turned into a wisp of black flames and disappeared into the surrounding black fog.
The sword light was still bright in the sky. After the last wisp of black flames was extinguished, it charged into the black fog without hesitation.
At this moment, the black fog began to slowly shrink towards Gu Zheng's position. It was like a huge mouth, trapping Gu Zheng inside. The moment it closed, Gu Zheng would die.
"Ding!"
A sword fell from the sky. Gu Zheng reached out and grabbed it. The sword automatically returned to his hand. Looking at the dull sword, Gu Zheng flipped his hand and put it away.
At this moment, the originally slow black fog suddenly sped up and swallowed Gu Zheng in the blink of an eye.
From the purple-haired woman's point of view, everyone's black fog had completely condensed in the air. That golden figure had been submerged, and after a burst of movement, an even larger human face appeared in the air. The place where Gu Zheng was enveloped was where the mouth was.
The huge mouth was constantly chewing. Clouds of extremely dense black Qi were constantly sputtering out. It was as if it was tasting a delicious meal.
When the purple woman saw this scene, the corner of her eyes couldn't help but twitch. Her expression was somewhat strange, as if she couldn't believe that Gu Zheng would be so easily swallowed by the other party.
While he was hesitating, a small purple ball appeared in his hand. Purple lightning kept falling from the ball, and there were many purple talismans on the surface of the ball. As the purple light flashed, an overwhelming aura was emitted from the ball.
Seeing that there was no movement above, the purple woman gritted her teeth. Just as she was about to throw out the purple ball, she discovered that there was a sudden change in the sky.
The originally pitch-black mouth suddenly had a bright aurora appear. It was extremely obvious in the black fog. Once again, she suppressed her thoughts and waited for the situation to develop.
The moment the white light appeared, a huge muffled sound resounded in the sky. A huge black hole was instantly blasted out of the mouth of the huge face. Gu Zheng's whole body was covered in flames. He coldly looked at the huge black face in front of him and gently snapped his fingers.
"Pa!"
Countless flames suddenly emerged from the black lotus and instantly blew the black face into pieces.
Only then did the purple woman quietly let out a sigh of relief. She once again put away the powerful purple ball.
Most of the black flames that filled the sky had already been annihilated by the huge flames. The remaining black fog gathered in the sky once again. This time, it transformed into Song Hu's appearance. It didn't even look at Gu Zheng and directly flew towards the purple woman below.
Seeing this, Gu Zheng's palm formed a blade and fiercely slashed downwards. A huge golden arc of light instantly rose and chased after him.
In just a breath's time, Song Hu's figure had only descended halfway when the arc of light caught up to him and directly cut him in half from the back.
Half of his body instantly evaporated. The other half fell straight to the ground from the sky like a pile of mud.
