At this moment, when the black fog saw the black snake, it was prepared and was not afraid of it, even if it was restrained.
The black fog rolled and a black fog as thick as an arm protruded from it. The moment it left the black fog, it turned into an identical black snake and rushed over.
Looking at the black snake with the same aura, Gu Zheng praised it in his heart. He had heard from Little Monkey that as long as you used a move, he would be able to quickly replicate it.
Although the move could be replicated, it would only be in appearance.
Under the suppression of attributes, it was obvious that the black snake formed by the black fog was at a disadvantage, but now it had successfully blocked Gu Zheng's attack.
Gu Zheng looked at the black fog in front of him and raised the black sword in his hand. The black runes on the sword were still flickering, and a destructive aura was emitted from it. It was as if the black fog in front of him could be destroyed with one slash. It was unstoppable.
He knew that this was only his illusion. The other party would definitely not die so easily. He could not see any signs of injury on the other party. That black fog was probably not something anyone could see.
"Clang!" A sharp sound rang out.
The black sword in Gu Zheng's hand flashed, and a black sword qi rushed up first.
However, the Soul Devouring Beast's reaction was faster. Gu Zheng had just moved when hundreds of sword qi formed by the black fog rushed up. Not only that, the black fog quickly condensed and a human figure formed by the black fog appeared in front of Gu Zheng. It held a black fog condensed broadsword in its hand and directly rushed up.
When Gu Zheng had just dealt with the black fog, the broadsword came down heavily.
Gu Zheng did not say anything and placed the longsword in front of him. Facing the opponent's heavy attack, he pushed upwards. He only felt a huge force that could topple mountains and overturn seas in an instant from the point of contact. Under the shock, the opponent actually slashed down hundreds of times, and instantly sent Gu Zheng's figure flying.
While stabilizing in the air, Gu Zheng shook his numb arm. This was obviously an imitation of someone else's move, but he did not know whose martial skill it was.
"I'll … eat … you!" The black fog opened its mouth and spoke in a cryptic voice. It was obvious that it was furious.
"Eat me? Let's see if you have the ability!" Gu Zheng laughed heartily. Then, he stretched out a hand, opened his palm, and clenched his fist.
"Boom!" A loud sound rang out.
Black Fog, who had just wanted to move, suddenly lit up with a golden light. Then, a violent force exploded on its body, tearing it into a large patch of black fog.
During the last explosion, some Joss Flame power had been hidden by Gu Zheng inside the other party's body, fusing with the other party's body. The other party didn't notice it at all, so Gu Zheng easily found the other party's hiding place.
Moreover, no matter what kind of existence this Soul-devouring Beast was now, its body was definitely mixed with Joss Flame power. Perhaps it was caused by devouring too many ancestor gods, but it didn't matter. Gu Zheng had taught it how to behave.
Through the Joss Flame power hidden in its body, Gu Zheng instantly ignited the small amount of Joss Flame power in its body. Not to mention that it could only instinctively control the Joss Flame power, even if it could completely control it, it would be very easy for Gu Zheng to cause trouble, but it would not be able to create such a spectacular effect.
The moment the black fog exploded, it quickly gathered together. Soon, a black shadow appeared in front of Gu Zheng again. It stared at Gu Zheng with a pair of red eyes. Its chest rose and fell quickly. It seemed that it did not suffer too much damage.
At this time, some yellow fog quickly came out of its chest and dissipated in the air. He already knew where the problem was. In order to prevent such a situation from happening again, he expelled all the Joss Flame power that was not very useful to the other party.
Seeing this, Gu Zheng smiled and stretched out his hand again. It was the same action as before. He suddenly grabbed again. The black shadow was a frightened rabbit. Without saying a word, its body became a little illusory because there was still some Joss Flame power left in its body.
However, the feeling of explosion did not come, and there was no abnormal movement in its body. Only then did it know that it had been deceived.
Its body condensed again. Looking at Gu Zheng's mocking face, the Soul-devouring Beast felt that it was about to lose its mind. Just as it was about to pounce on Gu Zheng, it saw a strange smile on Gu Zheng's face. A black shadow sneaked up on it from behind. Before it could react, the shadow quickly wrapped around its body a few times and bound it to the spot.
It was the black snake. The Soul-devouring Beast's imitation black snake had turned into a wisp of black fog and dissipated in the air. Gu Zheng used that short moment to distract the black shadow and successfully allowed the black snake to break through.
When the black snake wrapped around the black shadow, clouds of black fog evaporated from the other party's body. It was as if sulfuric acid had been poured on the other party's body. Accompanied by a sizzling sound, a thick stench spread into the air.
With a thought from Gu Zheng, the black snake turned into a large patch of black fog with a bang. It wrapped around the black shadow and continued to slowly corrode it.
Although it seemed that Gu Zheng had the upper hand, Gu Zheng's expression became more and more serious. He even retreated a lot.
This series of attacks seemed fierce, but other than the black snake being able to slightly confuse the other party, the other attacks had almost no effect on him.
Especially since the other party was immune to most of the Joss Flame power. It was no wonder that they were defeated and only the two of them managed to escape.
They couldn't figure out why the powerful attacks that they were so proud of were useless. They probably thought that the other party was in a special state.
If the other party could figure it out and use the right method, they wouldn't be unable to defeat the Soul-devouring Beast in its black fog state.
Right now, it was clearly much weaker than the first time they met. It seemed that after fighting against the golden shield, it had suffered heavy injuries. It couldn't even transform into the black fog that filled the sky.
But right now, a powerful aura was brewing inside. A terrifying monster seemed to be about to come out.
"Rip!"
Outside the Soul-devouring Beast's black fog, a large blade actually came out from it. It pierced through the surface of the black fog and then turned outside. The entire black fog was torn into pieces like a rag, revealing the true body of the Soul-devouring Beast.
It was as ferocious as a demon's head. Two fangs were exposed from the side of its mouth. Its four legs were as thick and powerful as a horse's legs.
What was even more inconceivable was that the other party was actually wearing a layer of half-body armor and holding a silver-white sharp machete in its hand.
It was like a monster formed by a horse and a man. A horse-riding knight!
"Die!"
The Soul-devouring Beast finally revealed its true appearance. It was indeed a little frightening. No matter what, Gu Zheng didn't expect it to look like this.
On the other side, its four legs exerted force at the same time. In a flash, it crossed the huge distance between them. As if it had teleported, it appeared in front of Gu Zheng. It raised its machete and slashed at Gu Zheng.
"Ding!"
The huge figure carried a force of ten thousand catties. In just one round, Gu Zheng's figure was sent flying into the distance.
What a powerful force!
That terrifying force was countless times stronger. With just one strike, Gu Zheng instantly felt all the bones in his body creaking faintly. The blood in his body was also constantly churning.
Without waiting for Gu Zheng to catch his breath, the other party chased after him once again. It didn't give him any chance to catch his breath. It was a blade without any fancy moves. Its speed was extremely fast. The silver light occupied Gu Zheng's entire field of vision. It slashed at him once again, as if it wanted to cut him in half.
Gu Zheng subconsciously raised the black sword in his hand and blocked in front of his eyes. However, in just an instant, his entire body was like a graceful dance. With a strange twist and turn, his body actually turned around. The Black General in his hand flashed with a black light and swept towards the back.
"Clang!"
The Soul-devouring Beast's figure slowly appeared behind him. It held its machete with both hands and blocked Gu Zheng's attack.
At the same time, the Soul-devouring Beast from before also slashed down with its machete. The sharp aura made Gu Zheng's hair stand on end. However, it was like an illusion. It passed through Gu Zheng's body without causing any damage. Then, it turned into a mass of shadows and disappeared.
Gu Zheng didn't hesitate at all. His left hand quickly tapped on the blade. A wisp of black mist was pulled out from the blade and formed another black longsword. Holding the longsword with both hands, he pounced towards the other party.
Don't think that just because you're not good at close combat, I'll let you know how powerful I am!
Gu Zheng secretly swore in his heart. He definitely couldn't give the other party any room to speed up. Especially this mysterious illusion. It was almost beyond the scope of illusion techniques. If he wasn't vigilant, he would have fallen into the other party's trap.
The dense sound of collision immediately rang out in the air.
In this small space, countless air waves were vibrating. The two figures were constantly entangled in the air. Some of the leaked aftershocks fell from above from time to time, causing the ground to constantly shake.
Landslides, tsunamis, hurricanes constantly whistled past. The entire space was like the scene of doomsday.
Half a day's time had passed. The two people were still tirelessly entangled in the air. The location of the battle had already changed who knows how many places.
"Bang!"
Gu Zheng suddenly rose up and dodged the other party's attack. He fiercely glared at the other party's side. His whole body was like a swallow drawing a beautiful arc in the air. He circled behind the other party and stabbed his sword towards the other party's back.
"Puchi!"
The Soul-devouring Beast's body suddenly turned into a wisp of black mist and disappeared in the air.
Gu Zheng was slightly out of breath. He even left the location of the battle in a few flashes. He vigilantly scanned the surroundings.
The other party was very powerful. Especially the other party's body. It seemed to be immune to most attacks. Ordinary attacks were unable to penetrate its defense. Even fiendish power couldn't cause too much damage to it.
However, Gu Zheng could still sense that the other party was weakening little by little. It seemed that because of his existence, the other party couldn't suppress the damage it received from before.
Otherwise, Gu Zheng really didn't know what to do with it.
Gu Zheng also understood why the other party told him that the Soul-devouring Beast would only let him challenge it when it was weak. He could sense that the other party was only using 50% of its strength. The other half was suppressing its injuries.
If it wasn't for that, Gu Zheng would definitely have to run away in a sorry state.
Because this enemy wasn't something that he could deal with at his current stage. No wonder they would rather abandon this place than to come and eliminate it. Perhaps only that Grand Heavenly Realm expert could eliminate this Soul-devouring Beast.
No matter how many others came, they would probably be killed instead.
Just when Gu Zheng was constantly looking at his surroundings, a seven-colored mist suddenly appeared in the air. It quickly filled the air and surrounded Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng had long sealed his mouth and nose. Everything that could be disturbed looked at this place that was filled with illusions. It was suffused with rainbow-colored light spots. It was like an extremely beautiful world that could make one sink into it. However, he didn't hesitate and directly rushed out.
But soon, he stopped because this dash was enough to get him far away. But looking at it now, it seemed like he didn't move at all.
"Open for me!"
The black sword in Gu Zheng's hand was erected in front of him. Seals were quickly sent into the black sword. The entire black sword was instantly ignited with black flames. Then, he suddenly reached out and grabbed the sword hilt. He flipped it over and stabbed it with the sword tip facing downwards.
"Boom!"
The flames on the black sword suddenly doubled in size. It turned into balls of light that rushed out in all directions.
Under this rush, the dreamy mist suddenly became blurry. The scenery outside could vaguely be seen.
Gu Zheng was just about to increase his strength and open up a path for him to leave when he suddenly felt a gust of wind behind him. His heart was filled with a wild warning. He let go of the weapon in his hand and rushed into the distance.
Midway, he turned around to look. A huge palm made of five different colors was grabbing at him from the sky. His black sword had only been touched by it for a moment before it flew out and disappeared from his sight.
This was just the beginning. The surrounding seven-colored mist began to violently churn. Huge palms appeared from below, above, and above, one after another, grabbing at him.
Looking around, all the space had been occupied by the palms. There was no gap at all.
However, the palms were relatively slow. It was impossible for them to catch Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng once again took out a sword. But this time, there was only one special black sword. He flashed to the side and slashed at the palms.
However, the blade only brought out some seven-colored mist. The palms were not affected at all. Instead, the palms turned 180 degrees and grabbed at Gu Zheng, who was very close to them.
With a quick retreat, Gu Zheng left the range of the opponent's attack. The surrounding palms were still slowly pressing towards him. Soon, he would not have any space to turn around and dodge them.
Just as Gu Zheng was thinking, he jumped and dodged another palm. He saw that the fingertips of all the palms seemed to be slightly shining. He was startled and had a bad feeling.
The next moment, all the colors on his fingers began to flicker. Rings of the same color appeared from his fingertips and quickly flew in all directions.
The colorful rings of light appeared above Gu Zheng's head in the blink of an eye. They were like a layer of cloud that covered half the space. Then, they stood up one by one, trapping him like a cage.
The only exit was in the middle of the rings. It was just enough for one person to pass through. However, these rings were clearly traps. Just as Gu Zheng was in a dilemma, a diamond-like palm with five-colored light suddenly reached out from below him. It grabbed Gu Zheng with lightning speed.
Gu Zheng suddenly felt a strong force pressing down on him. He even found it difficult to breathe.
Layers of golden light kept gathering on his body. The diamond-like palm flashed wildly with the golden light, and it was slowly pushed open.
However, at that moment, the halos that filled the sky seemed to have received some sort of order. All of them began to move, aiming at the immobile Gu Zheng. With a swoosh, they enveloped him from the top of his head and tightly bound his body.
Gu Zheng felt the flow of spiritual power in his body stagnate. As the rings of light overlapped one another, under the interference of the rings of light, the gap that was originally opened gradually began to close.
In particular, the colorful clouds of light in the sky began to surge in Gu Zheng's direction. Even if Gu Zheng held his breath, he still felt a little dizzy. His whole body was once again grabbed by the palm.
His body could clearly feel that it was constantly protesting. The intense pain felt like it was being torn apart. However, under the colorful clouds of light, Gu Zheng only felt that his mind was confused and his body was weak. He just wanted to fall asleep.
This feeling was so strong that he felt like he was about to fall asleep in the next moment.
Gu Zheng knew that this was the opponent's magic, but at this time, he had almost lost control of his body.
At the critical moment, Gu Zheng's mind moved. A flame quickly burned from his wrist. In the blink of an eye, his whole body was burning like a torch. The milky white light dispersed the surrounding clouds in an instant.
Even the rings of light that imprisoned him were collapsing layer by layer.
As Gu Zheng quickly woke up, he took control of his body. Facing the diamond arm below, which had melted a little, he suddenly stomped his foot.
The sturdy palms suddenly broke into pieces and fell to the ground. The giant palms in the air slowly disappeared, and the entire space returned to its original state.
However, Gu Zheng did not stop. Looking at the empty space, he took out a weapon, closed his eyes, raised it high, and without any hesitation, stabbed it into his heart.
"Puchi"
A mouthful of blood instantly spurted out from Gu Zheng's mouth. At this moment, he opened his eyes again.
The Soul-Devouring Beast from before was not far from Gu Zheng. Its mouth was constantly swallowing a wisp of white smoke. The end of the smoke was actually connected to Gu Zheng's body.
The moment it saw Gu Zheng open his eyes, the Soul-Devouring Beast immediately fled into the distance.
Gu Zheng watched the opponent's figure disappear before his eyes. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and did not chase after it. Instead, he retracted the flames on his body.
When the Li Ring was burning, the insufferably arrogant flames burned through the two worlds. Only then did Gu Zheng realize that something was wrong.
At this moment, the scene around him had changed greatly. He was still in his original position and had not moved at all.
When the Soul-Devouring Beast revealed its true body, he had already fallen into the opponent's trap. But he was completely unaware.
Including the opponent's charge and falling into the fog, it was all Gu Zheng's imagination. Everything was an illusion.
"Can you run?"
Gu Zheng muttered. Clenching the black sword in his hand, he chased into the distance.
