"Whoosh!"
The Black Jiao Dragon swung its tail in the air and instantly accelerated towards Gu Zheng. It opened its mouth with sharp teeth, wanting to swallow him whole.
Gu Zheng looked at the Black Jiao Dragon's figure. The long sword in his hand suddenly became several times bigger. Bits of golden runes curled around it. He aimed at the Black Jiao Dragon's bloody mouth and stabbed it.
Unfortunately, before Gu Zheng could raise the long sword, a black light suddenly shot out from the Black Jiao Dragon's mouth. In the blink of an eye, it formed a black fog that wrapped around the long sword and continuously corroded the golden runes.
Gu Zheng only felt his hand sink in an instant, as if there was a huge force on top of it, causing his movements to become sluggish. Under the Black Jiao Dragon's interference, he could no longer smoothly attack. At this time, seeing that the Black Jiao Dragon had already pounced over, it was too late to attack. In a hurry, he blocked the long sword in front of him and sent it into the Black Jiao Dragon's mouth like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth, blocking the Black Jiao Dragon's advance.
Crunch, crunch!
The sound of friction that made one's teeth ache rang out. The long sword was bitten by the sharp teeth formed by more than ten black swords and was firmly stuck.
The huge impact made Gu Zheng's figure continuously retreat. The Black Jiao Dragon's pair of sharp claws suddenly stretched out from below. A few black lines continued to extend from behind, shooting out from the Black Jiao Dragon's abdomen like a spring.
Gu Zheng was shocked and hurriedly dodged to the side. However, the sharp claws still brushed past his abdomen. Half of his clothes were torn on the spot, leaving several wounds of different depths on his body. Immediately, blood splattered out.
Gu Zheng turned his hand and directly knocked away the swords in the Black Jiao Dragon's mouth. He pulled back the long sword in his hand and slashed at the black lines that were connected to the claws. The claws that wanted to come back from behind suddenly lost their source of power and fell from the sky.
At this time, the black fog on the long sword had been completely removed. Facing the Black Jiao Dragon's head that was about to hit him, Gu Zheng's figure forcibly rose a little higher. He kicked the Black Jiao Dragon's head, causing the Black Jiao Dragon's body to sway slightly and fall diagonally downwards.
"Open for me!"
Gu Zheng roared. The huge sword in his hand emitted a dazzling light and fiercely slashed at the middle part of the Black Jiao Dragon's body.
"Ding Dang!" A heavy sound rang out.
A burst of sparks appeared in the air. Then, the black dragon's body was cut in half by Gu Zheng. The black swords in the sky seemed to have lost their last bit of life, dispersing into black mist and disappearing in the air.
Before the black fog completely dissipated, Gu Zheng suddenly felt a sharp pain in his left shoulder.
The split head of the Black Flood Dragon actually bit into his shoulder, its sharp teeth piercing straight into his body. He could feel his blood being rapidly sucked away by the Black Flood Dragon's sharp teeth, some blood trickling out from the edges of the Black Flood Dragon's teeth.
Gu Zheng was shocked. Just now, he had clearly seen the other party's head turn into a cloud of black mist and dissipate. How did it manage to sneak up on him?
Feeling that his body was rapidly weakening, Gu Zheng raised the long sword in his hand and viciously slashed at the head of the black dragon.
"Crash!"
A large amount of blood splashed out from the air. Gu Zheng frowned and covered the wound on his missing arm. There was no Black Jiao Dragon's head. What he cut off was actually his own arm. Just now, it was just an illusion.
At this moment, Gu Zheng's head emitted a rapid wind sound. He subconsciously looked up and saw a black whip that was as thick as three people hugging a tree. It pressed down on Gu Zheng from the air.
At this time, Gu Zheng, who was in a weakened state, discovered it in time, but it was already too late to dodge. He could only put his weapon horizontally in front of him.
"Bang!" a loud sound was heard.
Gu Zheng spat out a large amount of blood. His whole body fell down at an extremely fast speed. The long sword in his hand fell out at the same time.
In the air, a clump of black fog suddenly appeared and rapidly expanded. Just as he was about to give chase, he discovered that Gu Zheng had already disappeared from the air.
However, it didn't care too much. Although the other party gave it a sense of threat, his strength was really too weak. If it wasn't for the fact that it wanted to break out of this space, it would have swallowed him.
However, it also knew that even if its strength was increasing, if it couldn't leave this place, it would die sooner or later.
It roared in the air and the black mist quickly dissipated from the air.
At this time, Little Monkey and Old Bird, who were hiding in the well below, watched Gu Zheng cut off his arm and couldn't help but feel anxious.
"I'm going to save him. You stay here and watch." Little Monkey said and wanted to rush out, but was stopped by Old Bird.
"Do you want to die?! Not to mention you, even if we go up, the result will be the same. Not only will we not be able to save him, but we will also die. "
"But we can't just watch all of this." Little Monkey also knew that Old Bird was telling the truth, but he still couldn't help but say.
When the two of them died underground, they had already promised him that they would never wander around like before. They also didn't want to continue staying here because of fear of danger. It was time to leave this place.
Unfortunately, they had to escape from here first.
"Young Master Gu can't die so easily. I think there's some mystery. Don't be rash!" Old Bird looked up and said to Little Monkey.
While the two of them were talking, Gu Zheng had already descended from the sky.
"Quick, quick!" Old Bird couldn't sit still anymore. He quickly rushed out from below with Little Monkey. However, as soon as they came out, they looked up again and saw that Gu Zheng's figure had disappeared. This made them turn pale with fright.
"Hurry up and look for him. Is he nearby?" The two of them saw that the black mist in the sky had disappeared. They ignored the danger and immediately ran towards the nearby area.
"Don't look for me. I'm here!" They had only run two steps when they saw Gu Zheng appear from another direction and shouted at them.
"Young Master Gu, are you okay?"
The two of them were shocked and quickly ran over to ask.
"Let's go back and talk!" Gu Zheng looked at the sky and waved at them.
Soon, Gu Zheng and the others returned to the dry well and sat down in Gu Zheng's room.
A simple layer of shield enveloped the surroundings to ensure that no one could hear the conversation inside.
"Young Master Gu, is your arm okay?" Little Monkey couldn't help but ask when he saw that Gu Zheng was intact.
"It's okay. It's just my avatar up there. A little loss of consciousness is not a problem at all." Gu Zheng explained.
"You scared us to death. We thought you were bewitched by that monster." Old Bird breathed a sigh of relief.
"The other party's concealment is indeed very strong. Moreover, I couldn't tell at all whether the other party's illusion was real or fake!" Gu Zheng said with a dignified expression.
Because that seemingly illusory black dragon head might not be fake. If he really left it alone, he was afraid that he would really be drained of blood by the other party.
It was real and fake, but also fake and real. It was indeed powerful!
However, the next time would be the end of the Soul-devouring Beast.
Gu Zheng thought fiercely in his heart. After passing this test, Gu Zheng already had fifty percent confidence in dealing with it. Next, he just had to wait for the other party to be obedient before breaking through the barrier here.
"It's good that you're fine. You almost scared us to death. However, before you left, why did you specifically tell us that you were going to kill the other party personally?" At this time, Little Bird was puzzled again.
"Of course it's because someone on this side has already been invaded by it." Gu Zheng's words made them immediately jump up.
"Who is it? I have to quickly get rid of these hidden dangers. " Old Bird said with murderous intent. No wonder their conversation was blocked. It turned out that there was an enemy inside. It was too terrifying.
"Don't be agitated. They actually don't know either. It's just that their bodies are weak. When their bodies were invaded outside, they couldn't control them at all. However, that Soul-devouring Beast probably knows what they heard and saw. However, I wasn't sure before, so I did that. Now, I'm sure." Gu Zheng looked at the two agitated people and said gratefully.
"What you mean is that as long as the Soul-devouring Beast dies, they will be fine." Little Monkey said hesitantly.
"Yes, don't worry. When the other party saw me coming, they didn't dare to try to break through. This time, I deliberately put on a show to let the other party know that I have nothing to be afraid of. Only by doing so can they be careless. The next time will be the final battle. At that time, I will bring all of you out together." Gu Zheng said confidently.
"Don't worry about the others. As long as the Soul-devouring Beast dies, they will be fine after being weak for a while. Don't make a fuss."
After hearing this, the two of them revealed obvious joy on their faces.
Immediately after, the three of them discussed some things and the two of them left here.
As for Gu Zheng, he pretended to continue to recuperate in seclusion here, waiting for the next night to come.
Eight days later, Little Monkey, who had been paying attention to the movements outside, excitedly walked towards Gu Zheng.
"Young Master Gu, it's dark outside."
"Mm, I know. You guys just stay inside. This time, don't go out. If the other party discovers you guys and the battle is not going well, they will definitely devour all of you to increase their strength." Gu Zheng woke up from his recuperation and said as he walked out.
Most of the villagers had been devoured.
"I know. Young Master Gu, be careful!" Little Monkey nodded and then watched Gu Zheng leave the dry well.
In order to prevent those who had their bodies invaded from being confused, Little Monkey and Old Bird even sealed the only passageway to the dry well after Gu Zheng left. This time, no one would be able to leave.
Gu Zheng carefully crawled out from the well and realized that it was colder than when he first arrived. Moreover, he also noticed that the surrounding houses had decayed even more. It had only been a month since he entered, but from the looks of it, it seemed like it had been a few years.
This meant that cracks had started to appear in this space. In less than three to five years, it would be completely thrown out.
Gu Zheng did not go far. Instead, he came to a place where they buried their treasures. In addition to Gu Zheng's concealment, it could cover up Gu Zheng's figure to the greatest extent.
Next, they just had to wait for the Soul-Devouring Beast to perform.
Time slowly passed. Gu Zheng was like a dead man, standing in the same place without moving.
No matter how long the night was, it would eventually pass.
When the sky had just cleared up, a layer of dark clouds suddenly appeared in the sky, causing the world that was just about to light up to darken once again.
Under Gu Zheng's deliberate show of weakness, the Soul-Devouring Beast did not realize that it was different from usual. After the threat was gone, it began to prepare for a new round of breakthrough as usual.
Every time the night passed, it was also the time when the seal outside was at its weakest. Of course, no matter how weak it was, its strength was still very strong. However, there was always a glimmer of hope.
The dark clouds that filled the sky began to roll crazily. Thick pillars suddenly appeared in the sky, densely standing in the sky. Countless frightening black gas was brewing within.
"Dong Dong"
Like the beating of a large drum, the vibrations in the sky rang out. Countless black lights soared into the sky, as if they were going to rush into the clouds.
However, halfway, a golden arc shield suddenly appeared, blocking the path of the black lights. Countless golden runes constantly swam inside. When the black lights hit the shield, it instantly caused a counterattack.
A large amount of golden light burned on the shield like a flame. The black fog evaporated before it could even get close. However, with the seemingly endless supply of black fog from the cotton monkey, the speed of evaporation was far slower than the speed of replenishment. The black fog gradually approached the golden shield.
When the black fog was close enough, the black fog suddenly condensed into the shape of a long spear. The tip of the spear was dark and shiny, and it fiercely stabbed towards the shield.
How could a single spear pierce through the tightly guarded shield? Even if there were thousands of similar spears in the surroundings, they were shattered the moment they collided with the shield. However, there were still more spears coming from behind.
This time, it was like poking a hornet's nest. The golden light on the shield was even more dazzling. It was simply impossible to look directly at it. Moreover, an even stronger counterattack came at the same time.
"Rumble Rumble Rumble"
The entire sky instantly shook. Gu Zheng, who was on the ground, could feel it. It was like a magnitude 10 earthquake, causing the surrounding debris to shake and fly everywhere.
The majesty of the golden shield was violated. The golden flames that filled the sky poured down, and in the blink of an eye, they fell into the black fog below.
The black fog below was not like Gu Zheng's. It scattered with a touch. Like a pot of boiling oil, large amounts of black fog sputtered out and dissipated.
However, in the surroundings, even more black gas spread over and fought with the flames.
And in the air, densely packed long spears were stabbing towards the sky.
The entire formation was a whole. If it wanted to break out, it had to break through. Moreover, the Soul-Devouring Beast knew how terrifying the formation's power was. It could only wear down the shield bit by bit, reducing its strength, and finally break through in one fell swoop.
A long tug-of-war began. Although the shield's counterattack was very strong, and even Jin Xian at his peak could not resist it.
However, they had just left the night, which was also the time when the shield's strength was at its weakest. In addition to the Soul-Devouring Beast's strangeness, it was able to hold on for a little longer.
As the sky became brighter, the power of the flames also became stronger. Among the black clouds that the Soul-Devouring Beast had turned into, there was already a lot of golden light. It was almost unable to suppress it.
And at this time, the Soul-Devouring Beast exploded its body, once again turning into countless black fog and dissipating in the air. It used a strange method to disappear from the sky.
After the enemy was gone, the shield above gradually disappeared. However, Gu Zheng could clearly see that the shield's luster was dimmer than before. It was obvious that it had been greatly depleted.
Without the Soul-Devouring Beast's interference, the sky quickly brightened. Instead, the Soul-Devouring Beast disappeared without a trace. It seemed that there was no way to chase after it.
However, Gu Zheng was already prepared. He closed his eyes and began to quickly scan the area. Soon, Gu Zheng's mouth revealed a trace of a cold smile.
"So it's here."
Following which, Gu Zheng's figure directly burst out, flying towards the sea in the distance.
There was only a reef exposed on the sea surface, and the surrounding was a vast and empty sea. There didn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary. At this moment, Gu Zheng landed on this reef and looked at the sea surface not far ahead. Below the sea surface, a black mass was slightly rippling. Irregular black threads were constantly floating in the sea.
Perhaps because the Soul-Devouring Beast did not feel any danger, and because Gu Zheng was still hiding his aura, it did not discover it at all.
Gu Zheng's eyes flashed slightly. A black sword slowly appeared in his hand. Traces of black light constantly swam around the sword. A trace of cold feeling came from the sword, stimulating his nerves.
This sword had a miraculous effect on the Soul-Devouring Beast. It specialized in restraining this kind of spirit-like monster. Whether it devoured souls or not, this time it would have to say goodbye to this world.
A glaring black light began to condense on the sword. Some black runes gradually appeared on the sword. They wanted to rush out, but were suppressed by Gu Zheng.
In an extremely short period of time, the sword in Gu Zheng's hand was already covered by the black gas. At this time, he no longer suppressed the sword in his hand. His entire body suddenly flew up, and abruptly plunged into the sea below.
"Boom!" A loud explosion sounded.
The black sword could no longer hold back. The light on its body suddenly increased. One by one, the black runes revolved and quickly merged into the black gas. With the force of Gu Zheng's downward slash, all the black gas fell off the sword. It twisted and turned in the air, and shockingly turned into a long black snake. It roared and charged downwards.
The huge momentum entered the water in the blink of an eye. The lake's calm was instantly broken. The Giant Wolf set off stormy waves, and the water droplets that soared to the sky were about to splash onto Gu Zheng's body.
However, the moment the black snake entered the water, the Soul-Devouring Beast had already reacted. The black gas that was originally floating in the sea suddenly seemed to come alive. More black spikes circled back from the surroundings, and stabbed towards the black snake's body.
In the blink of an eye, thousands of black spikes were in front of the black snake. They were densely packed, and completely blocked off the surroundings.
The black snake looked at the black spikes that were suffused with a cold light and quickly flicked its tongue. It was completely unafraid of these seemingly sharp black spikes. Its entire body slightly stretched and contracted, and once again, it charged forward, increasing its speed to meet the black spikes head-on.
Those black spikes were directly smashed into a puddle of fog. The sharp spikes pierced the black snake's body, but they were unable to penetrate its exterior.
After penetrating these obstacles, the black snake saw that the rapidly changing black gas was exposed in front of the black snake. It opened its mouth wide and bit towards the other party.
The Soul-Devouring Beast did not expect the attack to come so quickly. In a hurry, it could only shrink its body into a black ball. In the next moment, an angry roar sounded in the air.
The Soul-Devouring Beast did not expect the black snake to have a power that countered it. Its outer defense was instantly broken through by the other party, and a large hole was pierced through its entire body.
Taking advantage of the fact that the black snake had just passed through, the black gas quickly rose from the bottom of the sea. Looking at Gu Zheng, who had been waiting in the sky for a long time without any trace of injury, even if its intelligence was not high, it knew that it had already been deceived. It could not help but become even angrier, and the black gas on its body rolled even more violently.
However, Gu Zheng reached out his hand and pointed at it lightly.
"Splash"
The black snake below rushed up from the bottom with a huge splash.
