After leaving the black fog, the Soul-Devouring Beast was actually so weak.
It wasn't that the other party was weak, but the other party's aura was only at the late stage of Jin Xian, which was out of Gu Zheng's expectations. Could it be that the layer of black fog was the other party's strongest state?
Gu Zheng wasn't sure if the other party was deliberately showing weakness or if it was originally like this. While thinking, he flew into the distance and quickly arrived above a ruined village.
Looking at the messy village below, he couldn't see anything different.
However, he could sense that the other party was in this area. Although it used some method to block Gu Zheng's prying, he could still vaguely know the other party's location.
Seeing that the other party was still pretending to be dead, Gu Zheng stretched out his hand and a golden barrier suddenly surrounded the area, preventing the other party from finding a chance to escape. Not only that, the Li Bracelet in Gu Zheng's hand once again released a trace of white light, enveloping his wrist.
Feeling the warmth and softness in his body, Gu Zheng swept out the sword Qi below him.
In any case, there was no one below, so he didn't have to worry about anyone finding trouble with Gu Zheng.
Countless sword qi wantonly swept through the entire village, not letting go of any suspicious places.
Perhaps the Soul-Devouring Beast knew that it couldn't hide anymore, so it exploded out from the ruins below. With a ferocious expression, it waved its long blade and rushed towards Gu Zheng.
A huge black light erupted from the long blade, and before it reached Gu Zheng, the huge blade light had already swept over.
Facing such a fierce attack, Gu Zheng didn't even try to dodge. A mere late stage Jin Xian, what was there for him to be afraid of? He directly rushed towards the other party.
"Clang!"
The incomparably powerful blade light was blocked halfway by Gu Zheng, and then he took advantage of the momentum to speed up. The black sword in his hand directly rushed towards the other party, chopping down towards the ugly head.
The Soul-Devouring Beast raised its long blade in an attempt to block, but Gu Zheng's rapidly expanding black sword sliced it into two. Then, the Soul-Devouring Beast's head was sliced into two from head to tail.
However, Gu Zheng wasn't happy at all. He didn't even see the Soul-Devouring Beast in front of him being split into two. He quickly turned around, and a solid white flame had already condensed on his fist. He quickly punched behind himself.
Bang!
The Soul-devouring Beast, which had just revealed itself, had yet to raise its weapon when it was shocked to find a fist in front of its eyes. It was sent flying with a single punch.
Large amounts of white flames were burning on its body, and the soaring white flames were melting its body.
The Soul-Devouring Beast was struggling in intense pain, and its body was constantly emitting large amounts of black gas. However, without exception, it evaporated the moment it came out.
Gu Zheng coldly watched the other party's final struggle. In less than an incense stick's worth of time, the Soul Devouring Beast had already melted into a cloud of black gas, floating in the air. The white flames outside were still burning, but there was nothing left to burn.
Gu Zheng took out the purple crystal core, then stepped forward and pierced the black gas with his sword.
Countless amounts of black gas continuously surged out from inside, dissipating into the air.
The purple crystal core in his hand also shone slightly. A few strands of yellow gas were sucked out from the black ball and entered the purple crystal core. Then, the crystal core calmed down again.
Gu Zheng looked at the purple crystal core that didn't change at all, and his face was filled with doubt. This Soul-Devouring Beast had died just like that. One must know that he had already prepared for the other party's final counterattack before it died. However, after he broke the illusion, the other party had almost lost its ability to resist.
However, now that the other party had completely disappeared, the imprint that he had left on the other party's body had also disappeared. This couldn't be faked.
After taking another look at this place, Gu Zheng's figure disappeared from the air, and flew towards the place where Little Monkey and the others were hiding.
Below, Little Monkey and Old Niao were standing in the hall with anxious faces. They had clearly felt the huge tremor just now, but they didn't dare to go out and observe. After comforting everyone below, they could only continue to wait anxiously.
Now that it had been quiet for a long time, Old Niao was even more anxious. That kind of torment made him want to rush out without caring about anything.
"Old Niao, stop pacing around. I'm dizzy. Although I'm also anxious, you have to believe in Young Master Gu." Little Monkey consoled from the side.
"I also want to believe in him, but there hasn't been any movement for so long. I'm afraid that Young Master Gu has met with misfortune." Old Niao said pessimistically.
"Impossible!" Hearing Old Niao's words, Little Monkey immediately retorted.
"You have to be confident in Young Master Gu! I don't have any confidence at all. After all, the other party is too strong. So strong that I don't even have the courage to face him. "Old Niao sneered, his head still looking at the well.
Just as he finished speaking, a figure descended from above. Old Niao's heart tightened. Then, he realized that the figure was Gu Zheng. Although he was exhausted, he had obviously returned safely. Didn't this mean that the Soul-Devouring Beast was already dead?
"Little Monkey, your guess is very accurate. Young Master Gu is indeed fine. Has the Soul-Devouring Beast been eliminated?" Old Niao excitedly walked towards Gu Zheng and couldn't help but say with joy.
"Of course. Don't you know who I am? How could I care about a mere Soul-Devouring Beast? What were you saying just now? You looked worried. "Although the process was somewhat difficult, Gu Zheng still pretended to be relaxed and said.
"Great! This is great! Little Monkey and I were just discussing your safety. Little Monkey believed in you and concluded that you were fine. "Old Niao was so excited that he couldn't control himself and said simply.
"Young Master Gu, I knew you could do it." Little Monkey was also excited. He walked over and congratulated Gu Zheng.
"Young Master Gu, you must be tired. Quickly rest. Since the Soul-Devouring Beast is dead, there is no danger." Old Niao looked at Gu Zheng's tired face and said.
"That's fine. Old Bird, it's best that you inform everyone. We'll be moving out soon. Then, we'll bring you all out first. Then, we'll have someone remove the spirit formation here," Gu Zheng shook his head and instructed Old Bird.
"You are right. This good news should be made known to everyone." Old Niao heard and immediately agreed. Then, he stretched out his hand and began to inform everyone one by one.
On one hand, he wanted everyone to go out. Camping outside was better than staying here. On the other hand, he wanted to cheer everyone up. After all, many people here had already lost all hope and were only surviving by instinct. If this continued for a while, they would become walking corpses.
Seeing the waves of cheers coming from the cave, many people shouted crazily and rushed out. They kept asking if it was true. They became even more excited after being confirmed three times. Some people even cried.
Gu Zheng also showed a gratified smile.
"Young Master Gu, how did you kill the Soul-Devouring Beast? I am really curious! You must know that it killed so many of us. "Little Monkey said with admiration.
"Actually, it is very simple. Even if the Soul-Devouring Beast is so strong, it also has a weakness. You know that there will be a huge commotion when the night passes, right?" Gu Zheng chuckled and explained to Little Monkey.
"Yes, isn't that the Soul-Devouring Beast going crazy? We can't see it. "Little Monkey said truthfully. Then, he was puzzled.
"Of course not. It was just trying to break out. Of course, how can a small Soul-Devouring Beast break out of here? At that time, it was weak. As long as it could find the other party, it would be fine!" Gu Zheng said faintly.
"I know. You went out not only to make it less vigilant, but also to leave a mark on it. Then, you waited for it to hide before you found it and killed it. Young Master Gu, you are really too powerful! You are really killing many birds with one stone. "Little Monkey was simply worshiping and immediately said the meaning of Gu Zheng's actions.
"Not bad. It seems like Little Monkey is really smart! You even know how I did it. It is as if I saw it with my own eyes. "Gu Zheng praised.
"It is all thanks to Young Master Gu's advice. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to understand the meaning behind it." Little Monkey's face was slightly red as he said modestly.
"What are you two talking about? You look so happy. Oh right, Little Monkey, go and maintain the discipline of those people. I will go to my room to get something." Old Niao came back and saw Gu Zheng talking and laughing. He also smiled.
"Okay, I will go now. I can finally go back." Little Monkey stood up and said with a face full of smiles as he walked inside.
However, just as he took two steps, he saw Old Niao's happy face turn into horror. Old Niao pointed behind him as if he wanted to say something.
Little Monkey was puzzled. Just as he turned his head, he saw a black sword reflected in his eyes. Then, in the next moment, it was inserted into his head. Everything in front of him was pitch black.
"Peng!"
Little Monkey's head exploded like a watermelon. Red and white things splashed out in all directions. The headless corpse fell to the ground with a loud bang. A large amount of blood flowed out from it and dyed the surroundings red.
"Little Bird!" Old Niao shouted when he saw this situation. At the same time, he pulled out his weapon and pointed at Gu Zheng.
"Soul Devouring Beast!"
This sudden change made those demons a little dumbfounded. However, they quickly reacted and shrank back while screaming.
They didn't expect that the other party would break into their originally safe place. They had no way to escape.
"Wait, can you listen to me first?" Gu Zheng stood on the opposite side and spread out his hands as he said to Old Niao.
"What else do you want to do! Young Master Gu was killed by you. You even turned into his appearance to deceive us. You even killed Little Monkey. I will fight it out with you! "Old Niao's eyes were red as he roared at Gu Zheng. He didn't hear Gu Zheng's explanation at all.
Little Bird, his brother for many years, died in front of his eyes. He instantly lost his mind.
As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his weapon and rushed forward.
However, with his unruly means, after just a few rounds, the weapon in his hand was knocked to the ground by Gu Zheng. He was pressed to the ground and couldn't move.
He couldn't move, but he could struggle with all his might. He was still shouting crazily.
"Soul Devouring Beast, I will fight it out with you!"
It was a pity that his whole body was bound. The magic power in his body was also sealed. He didn't even have the chance to self-destruct. He could only struggle in vain.
Gu Zheng looked at the other party and simply knocked him out. Only then did he have some peace.
At this moment, while Gu Zheng was knocking Old Niao unconscious, a black light suddenly appeared from the corpse. It took the opportunity to rush out of the well.
However, Gu Zheng didn't pay attention to it. After he finished what he was doing, he slowly turned around.
At the entrance of the well, a ball of black gas was already surrounded by a ball of purple light. On top of it, a purple crystal core was sparkling, firmly confining the ball of black gas. Even half of the cave was illuminated by the purple light.
That ball of black gas struggled desperately in the air. However, under the purple light, it was like a child. It couldn't escape at all. It was even pulled bit by bit towards the purple crystal core.
On the way back, Gu Zheng was thinking about the Soul Devouring Beast's last action. It seemed a little strange. Even if the other party was in a weakened state, it was still too easy.
Gu Zheng admitted that the other party's illusion technique was rarely seen. In addition, the other party's strength was also very strong. If they were to really meet force with force, it would be difficult for him to win.
However, at the end, the other party's counterattack that seemed like a joke made him a little suspicious.
He was confident that he could defeat the other party. He was even prepared to be seriously injured. However, it suddenly ended. It was unbelievably easy.
He thought about it carefully on the way back. Only then did he realize the other party's motive. That was why he hurried back. The problem must have appeared on the two of them.
As he expected, this little monkey was the Soul Devouring Beast's final body.
It abandoned everything. Even its cultivation and injuries were exactly the same.
Thinking about it carefully, he was afraid that when he came, he was already tricked by the other party. Even if he was seriously injured by the other party previously, it seemed like a trap set by him. However, he didn't expect that the other party had already planned it.
Including this time when he broke through the golden barrier and was in a severely injured and weak state.
The final goal was to use his token to leave this world. All the previous actions were to pave the way for the final moment.
Even if he couldn't break free from the illusion, the other party would probably deliberately leave an opening for him to escape.
Because that token could only be opened by him.
Otherwise, how could it not have any tricks up its sleeve when it could kill a few Ancestor Gods so easily?
What a cunning scheme. If he didn't think more, he might have really fallen into the other party's trap.
Looking at the ball of black gas that couldn't escape the attraction of the crystal core, it was finally sucked in.
Gu Zheng casually waved his hand. The crystal core slowly floated down from the well and landed in his palm.
The crystal core condensed. At this moment, it didn't dim like before. Instead, it flashed rhythmically. The pure light made people feel comfortable. The black gas didn't dye it with any color.
Gu Zheng sighed. He wanted to keep the crystal core, but he was shocked to find that he couldn't. Perhaps it had something to do with absorbing the soul of the Soul Devouring Beast. He didn't ask it anymore. He let it stay in the air and strode inside.
When the demon people saw Gu Zheng, they screamed in fright. Some of the bolder ones tried to attack Gu Zheng. Without exception, once they got close to Gu Zheng, they all fainted.
However, in the eyes of others, they were already dead. This made them feel even more despair.
In truth, Gu Zheng was only trying to stir up trouble. However, when he saw so many people panicking, he frowned and let out a cold snort. Immediately, a thunderous sound rang out in everyone's ears. In the next instant, everyone fainted.
Feeling that the world was peaceful, Gu Zheng took out a green pill and crushed it in his hand. A refreshing fragrance spread out in the air. It calmed everyone down and relaxed their tense minds.
Little Monkey's residence was slightly closer. One of them lived in front and the other lived in the back. This way, no matter what happened, they could protect the people inside in time.
When he walked into Little Monkey's room, it was empty. He didn't see Little Monkey's figure. This was out of Gu Zheng's expectations.
Could it really have been killed by the Soul Devouring Beast?
Gu Zheng thought in his heart. However, he didn't think it was possible. If it really died here, the old bird wouldn't have no reaction at all. They had been together for hundreds of thousands of years and were as close as brothers. If anything happened to it, it would naturally be alert.
With the importance of the Soul Devouring Beast, it definitely wouldn't leave behind such an obvious flaw.
After Gu Zheng looked around, he returned to the door and looked left and right.
The left was the end of the road, and the right was the direction Gu Zheng came from. The few rooms beside them were all empty. There was nothing strange at all.
After a while, Gu Zheng nodded in realization. He then walked towards the wall. When he came into contact with the wall, a layer of ripples rose from the wall. In the next moment, Gu Zheng's figure disappeared into the wall.
After Gu Zheng passed through the wall, he found himself in a room with only one room. With a single glance, he saw the unconscious little monkey lying on the ground.
At this moment, Little Monkey's condition was not very good. His face was pitch-black and his face was filled with a painful expression. His entire body was tied up by a bundle of black rope and there were streams of black gas constantly flowing around his face.
Seeing this, Gu Zheng flicked his finger and the bindings on his body were released. Then, Little Monkey was rescued by Gu Zheng.
After a long time, the old bird finally woke up. He stared blankly at the sky and only reacted after a long time.
Wasn't he supposed to be dead?
Looking at the familiar surroundings, he realized that he was lying in his room.
"Young Master Gu, it's all thanks to you this time. Otherwise, I would have been dead." A familiar voice entered the old bird's ears. It made him quiver. He immediately got up from the bed and walked outside.
"You can only blame your good luck. If you were a little later, even the gods wouldn't be able to save you!"
Old Bird walked out of the room and saw the already dead Little Monkey. He was actually talking and laughing with Gu Zheng. This familiar scene made him shout out involuntarily.
"Little Monkey, danger!"
"Old bird, you're finally awake." Hearing the warning, Little Bird turned around and smiled.
"That's not right. Aren't you dead? You damned Soul-Devouring Beast actually wanted to paralyze me. "The old bird felt that all the demons were unconscious. His expression changed and he said angrily.
"Little Bird, explain to him. I'll go out first." Gu Zheng looked at all this and said helplessly.
"Don't worry, Young Master Gu." Little Monkey said respectfully.
Gu Zheng nodded and in a flash, he went up from the dry well.
At this moment, the sky was still the same sky. However, there were no traces of the Soul-Devouring Beast in this space. The originally gloomy atmosphere became bright and sunny.
Just as he came out, Gu Zheng felt that the purple crystal core in his arms was acting strangely. He quickly took it out.
The crystal core, which had already quieted down, started to glow again. Moreover, it seemed to be guided by something. The speed of its flickering increased. Before Gu Zheng could figure out what was going on, the crystal core was so hot that he couldn't hold it in his hand. He quickly put it down.
Without support, the crystal core didn't fall to the ground. Instead, it slowly flew up into the air.
At the same time, the golden shield that usually disappeared without a trace suddenly appeared in the air, covering the entire sky.
Gu Zheng didn't know what was going on. He could only watch from the side.
