After Zi Yi's explanation, Gu Zheng finally understood the drawbacks of using Joss Flame energy. That made him inwardly glad that he hadn't tried to cultivate it back then.
"Is this also the reason why you don't want the Joss Flame power?" In the end, Gu Zheng suddenly recalled what Zi Yi had told him in the beginning.
"No, I am unable to cultivate it. However, with your injuries, I fear that you won't be able to recover for several years!" Zi Yi clearly didn't want to talk about this topic. She simply brushed it aside and instead asked about Gu Zheng's injuries.
"I also didn't think it would be like this. I can only take one step at a time," said Gu Zheng with a bitter smile.
"But we don't have much time. With your current injuries, no matter how fast you recover, you'll still need several decades to recover. At that time, how are you going to fight?" Zi Yi had seen through the severity of Gu Zheng's injuries.
"That is true. Right now, we can only take one step at a time." Gu Zheng nodded. He had truly overestimated his recovery. His body had overdrawn too much, causing his recovery to slow down greatly.
"Let's not talk about this. Perhaps when we reach Hope City, we'll be able to exchange for some spirit pills. Who knows, maybe I'll be able to recover. First, help me get rid of the imprint," said Gu Zheng with a smile.
In Gu Zheng's opinion, the current crisis wasn't a problem at all. He didn't care about it at all.
"What? Is it not possible? Seeing how confident you were just now, I thought you could get rid of it! "Gu Zheng was surprised to see Zi Yi's awkward expression.
"I really can't do anything about this imprint. It's on the imprint of a magic treasure. If you want to get rid of it, you'll have to use a magic treasure of the same level. If it was before, I might have been able to give it a try. But right now, I really can't do anything about it. However, I have other methods to help you recover." The first part of Zi Yi's words caused Gu Zheng to feel disappointed.
"Really?"
"It's true. I just happen to have a spirit medicine. Although it can't be considered the type that can bring the dead back to life, it should be enough to restore you to your best condition." Zi Yi waved her hand and a white cherry-sized spirit medicine appeared in her hand.
"Lady Purple Dress, if you have any conditions, feel free to state them. As long as I can do it, I will definitely do it." Gu Zheng didn't want to hide here at all, especially when it was related to whether or not he could survive.
Moreover, once this matter was over, he would wait for Ren Jie and the others to return and prepare to leave. He also had to report his village before the deadline.
But if his injuries weren't good, then even if he were to report it to his superiors, how would he be able to defeat those elite Elder Gods?
Zi Yi became silent and lowered her head. She didn't let Gu Zheng see her expression.
"I don't have any other requests. I'll let you use it for now. If something happens, I'll let you know. I'm going back to rest now. "Zi Yi threw the things in her hand to Gu Zheng, then rushed out and left.
Zi Yi returned to her room in a puff of smoke. She almost couldn't help but blurt it out. However, it seemed that it wasn't enough. Next time, she would say it again.
Gu Zheng watched Zi Yi leave with a strange expression. He clearly felt that she was going to ask something of him, but in the end, she shrank back.
Shaking his head, he looked at the spiritual medicine in his hand. It looked like a white pearl, soft and smooth to the touch. Just by touching it, he could feel that the injuries in his body were healing faster.
At worst, he would compensate her in the future. Gu Zheng thought of this. After setting up a simple barrier, he put the spiritual medicine in his mouth.
As soon as the spiritual medicine entered his mouth, it automatically transformed into a pool of water and flowed into Gu Zheng's body. Then, it exploded inside Gu Zheng's body.
A tyrannical medicinal effect began to spread throughout his body like a tsunami.
Two days later, Gu Zheng finally opened his eyes. Clenching his fists, his body shook. Cracking sounds could be heard. Gu Zheng stood up. Feeling that his body was once again filled with power, he relaxed and smiled.
However, this was far from enough. He thought of the magic treasure in Zi Yi's hand. Although he had forcibly broken it and damaged it quite a bit, its power was still not to be underestimated.
For those who violated him, if he didn't teach them a lesson, he wouldn't be able to swallow it.
However, there were quite a few of them. Thinking of this, Gu Zheng stopped thinking of leaving the room and returned.
He already had a magic treasure in his hand. It was Young Master Qi's imitation Nine Dragon Divine Fire Shield.
This was the perfect opportunity for him to refine it. Even if it broke, he wouldn't feel any heartache. This item wasn't suitable for Gu Zheng at all. This was also the reason why Gu Zheng didn't refine it for such a long time.
However, Gu Zheng could sense that the Joss Flame power within the yao grass within his body had been emptied. Moreover, it did not seem to be absorbing the Joss Flame power. That made Gu Zheng feel worried. Earlier, he had attempted to convert some Joss Flame power from the statue.
In the past, the demon grass would have swallowed it. But now, there was no reaction at all. Fortunately, the worst case scenario didn't happen. He could still use the demon grass to control the Joss Flame power. Otherwise, Gu Zheng would really want to cry.
After hearing what Zi Yi said to him, Gu Zheng wouldn't touch it even if he was beaten to death.
Clouds of yellow mist constantly appeared in this small room. Soon, it covered the entire manor.
For He Sheng and the others, they thought that Gu Zheng had returned to normal. They also let go of the last worry in their hearts. Seeing that the other party's movements were becoming more and more ordinary, it seemed that the other party would be here in the next few days.
Now that He Sheng was sitting in the middle, Cai Die and the others were stationed at the back, guarding against the enemies in the north.
Qing Xuan and the others weren't idle either. Every day, they would be in the vicinity of the village, looking left and right. They acted as the sharpest scouts, observing the other party's movements.
As the yellow mist rapidly dissipated, Gu Zheng looked at the Nine Dragon Shield in his hand with satisfaction. Although it looked the same as before, its power was like heaven and earth.
Nine agile yellow dragons were swimming around inside, and the inside was still burning with raging yellow flames. Even from the outside, one could feel the threat inside.
After a long time, the inside returned to normal.
Gu Zheng put away the Nine Dragon Shield. Thinking about the imprint in his body, the corner of his mouth revealed a trace of a sneer. He then strode out of the room.
"Everything's fine, right?" He Sheng was at the front, watching the final preparations, when he suddenly heard a familiar voice. He happily turned his head and saw that Gu Zheng had at some point appeared behind him.
"Everything's fine. We're just waiting for the other side to come and throw away our lives!" He Sheng was filled with confidence.
"Don't worry, our soldiers are also filled with confidence. There definitely won't be any problems." On the side, Mi Fei also said. Of course, that flame that could be ignited at any time was the most important piece of information.
Even an ordinary soldier, without any worries, could erupt with power that would cause others to raise their eyebrows.
Mi Fei's group didn't need to be backups this time. He Sheng had arranged for them to be on one side. That way, they would receive fewer attacks.
"That's good. After this victory, I'll immediately apply to leave this place. Then we'll be able to go to the holy land in your heart!" Gu Zheng lightly laughed as he spoke to He Sheng.
When He Sheng heard this, he seemed to see himself in Hope City. A trace of yearning immediately appeared on his face.
"Cough, cough." Seeing He Sheng like this, Mi Fei dryly coughed twice, rousing him from his fantasy. He was unable to understand this sort of obsession buried deep in his heart.
"But we still don't have enough people!" He Sheng suddenly thought of a problem and immediately said.
"That depends on whether fellow Daoist Mi Fei's previous words are true." Gu Zheng intentionally turned to look at Mi Fei.
"I, Mi Fei, am a man of my words. As long as you can win, I'll join without a second word. And I won't need any Joss Flame power." Mi Fei saw Gu Zheng's teasing gaze and braced himself. Who told him to blurt it out?
Now that Gu Zheng had said this, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and swallow the bitter fruit that he had planted.
"Look, the ready-made population is enough to pass the standard," Gu Zheng said with a smile.
"Hehe, fellow Daoist Mi, when the time comes, we'll be a family. Come, come, I feel like we can change your position. That way, the danger will be a bit lower." He Sheng chuckled at Mi Fei and then pulled him to rearrange his position.
Gu Zheng shook his head. He didn't say anything and was about to leave when two figures flew over from the distance.
Looking closely, he saw that it was Little Monkey and Old Bird who had disappeared for a long time.
Before they had returned to the village, they had volunteered to stay outside because they hadn't been counted in. They had been planning on gathering some information for Gu Zheng outside. They had finally returned.
"Old Bird, Little Monkey, it's been hard on you." Gu Zheng was the first to speak.
"It's fine, this is what we should do. We've already found out that the other side will launch an all-out attack tomorrow. There's also a series of arrangements on the other side." Little Monkey immediately rushed over to take credit.
Gu Zheng nodded and instructed them, "Very good. You guys go and tell He Sheng this information. Then let him arrange a place for you guys. You guys don't have to show up for this battle."
He had already left this kind of battle matter to He Sheng. He didn't want to ask because he had a premonition that the other side had left a mark on him. Who knew what kind of move was waiting for him?
Gu Zheng looked into the distance. The aura on his body slowly decreased. Soon, he returned to his previous dispirited appearance. But this time, he was pretending. He wanted to see what the other side wanted.
After receiving the information from Old Bird and the others, He Sheng seized the time to arrange everything and waited for the other side's final attack.
A day passed quickly. As the ground trembled, a dense crowd of human heads appeared before He Sheng's eyes once again.
At the same time, a faint vibration came from behind. From the vibration, it seemed that the other side had really launched an all-out attack this time.
Soon, the huge crowd on the other side approached. They had already refreshed themselves with blessings. But what made He Sheng feel strange was that this time, those people didn't appear at the front. It was as if they knew that Gu Zheng wouldn't appear and ran to the back to command.
This time, the other side wasn't much different from the last time. It was just that the group at the back launched long-range attacks while the warriors at the front rushed over.
But this time, the other side had more than twice the number of people rushing over. In the sky above, a dense cloud of long-range attacks flew over their heads, covering them and preventing Western Feng Village from launching long-range attacks.
This time, there was no harm to Western Feng Village. However, the warriors of the Mi Fei Tribe weren't so lucky. Although they also activated their defenses, many of them fell under this wave.
And this was the other side's main attack on Western Feng Village. They only suffered some aftershocks.
Because last time, Western Feng Village's combat power had greatly deterred them, they subconsciously attacked the other side.
In just one round, Mi Fei Tribe realized the gap between them. But what happened next shocked him even more. But now, he had to quickly command his people.
"Quick, quick! Pull the wounded out, pull them to the back. "
This time, according to He Sheng, some of the weaker warriors didn't come to the battlefield to fight. Instead, they stayed at the back to act as logistics. This was the most likely way to reduce losses.
After the victory, these people would all be his people. Every loss now would mean one less villager in the future. He Sheng, who was meticulous in his calculations, naturally knew how to make the best use of them. After all, the weak played a smaller role on the battlefield.
Just as the wounded warriors were pulled out, the enemy on the other side was less than ten meters away. In a few breaths, the weapons would start clashing.
And at this time, the people at the back were also moving forward, approaching the battlefield. However, their path was somewhat crooked.
Mi Fei's side didn't feel much pressure because the enemy knew that even if they all died, as long as Western Feng Village didn't fall, everything would be in vain.
In addition, after a probing battle, the enemy's elite warriors gathered here, wanting to defeat Western Feng Village's warriors in one fell swoop.
Both sides didn't see any obstructions or traps at all, so as soon as the battle started, it reached its climax.
As soon as the battle started, the enemy's Sky Immortals came out in full force.
This time, they believed that with twice the enemy's strength on their side, they could definitely beat the enemy to a pulp. They could cut off the enemy's flag, interfere with the enemy's statue, and weaken the blessing of Western Feng Village. Then, their own warriors would break through the enemy's line of defense, destroy the statue, and everything would be over.
With several times the enemy's strength, they had this confidence.
Their warriors were very strong, but Sky Immortals were on par with them. Western Feng Village couldn't stop them at all.
The most powerful peak Sky Immortals of over a hundred villages were like a sharp spear. They were bound to tear a hole, lead them to charge at the enemy, and kill them all.
Just as they arrived above Western Feng Village, the enemy flew over from behind.
"Eh? Their weapons seem different from before. They seem to be new weapons. " The person at the front felt his scalp go numb as he looked at the sharp weapons in front of him.
"Let them have a taste of our power! Destroy the enemy! "Xia Qi raised the weapon in his hand and roared.
At the same time, the people of Western Feng Village roared in unison. Their roars shook the sky, making the enemy tremble with fear.
However, their speed was too fast. Although many people noticed the difference, the two sides had already collided in the next moment.
Countless streams of light rose in the first moment, followed by countless meteors falling from the sky.
In just one exchange, over a hundred people fell from the sky, smashing down continuously, causing a huge commotion below.
However, if one looked carefully, most of them weren't from Western Feng Village.
This time, the sudden appearance of new weapons caught the people of Western Feng Village off guard. In an instant, there were a lot of casualties.
Those who fell had their weapons cut off as soon as they came into contact with the enemy, or they underestimated the strength of the enemy's magic.
However, at this time, no one could stop. Their words weren't as fast as the enemy's sudden attack.
The weapons in the hands of the leading peak-level gold immortals were not bad, and they were not shaken by the other party. However, when they saw their own people getting injured or dying like dumplings, they lost at least one-tenth of their people in a short period of time.
Even if the people in the back reacted, they couldn't do anything due to the gap in their weapons. They could only buff their weapons as much as possible and fight with the enemy as much as possible.
Relying on their numbers, they started to stabilize their footing after panicking for a while, but they didn't achieve their goal of defeating the people of Western Feng Village.
There were even some people who wanted to sneak over, but they were blocked by the others.
And at this time, on the ground, the Western Feng Village warriors were fighting and retreating. It wasn't that they couldn't resist the enemy's attack, but that they were deliberately letting them in.
But these people didn't know that. They thought their attack was effective and rushed up like they were on steroids, but they didn't realize that most of the people on the ground were their people.
He Sheng had been paying attention to the situation from the back, but what puzzled him was that the other side didn't have a single person commanding them. It was as if they felt that these people would definitely break through their defensive line.
No one even came to make trouble for Mi Fei.
Normally speaking, even if a group of people rushed up, under absolute power, no one would be able to stop so many people.
In such a short time, Mi Fei's team was already on the verge of collapsing. There was already a large gap on the side guarding them, making the Western Feng Village warriors very passive. If He Sheng hadn't slowly retreated in advance, the casualties would have been even greater.
And on the other side, all the Western Feng Village warriors, including He Sheng, were waiting for Gu Zheng to give them a new number. They were also waiting for their bodies to burst with their strongest fighting strength.
And far in the sky, He Sheng's doubtful people were all gathered together.
"Are you ready? Since everyone has agreed, then we will definitely kill the enemy this time! "Pang Li solemnly said.
Seeing everyone nod, Elder Xu's half-closed eyes suddenly opened and he said to a few Gods, "Then after you're done, you can leave this place. Leave the rest to us. This time, we'll definitely teach him a lesson!"
Weng!
A strange fluctuation came from the sky. Everyone poured magic power into a somewhat damaged object in front of them.
At the same time, Gu Zheng, who had been standing next to the statue since the start of the battle, a red light flashed from his chest. Gu Zheng's eyes showed a trace of confusion, and he quickly flew outside.
But the moment he left, a huge white light burst out from the statue, quickly rising into the sky and then turning into a berserk halo of light that swept out in all directions.
