In the middle of the raging flames, Gu Zheng sat firmly. His mind began to immerse itself in the Nine Dragons Shield. Outside, a yellow dragon was constantly spewing flames, burning the barrier that surrounded Gu Zheng, slowly breaking the restriction for him.
Originally, the Nine Dragons Shield's independent power was very strong. Now, with Gu Zheng's control, the yellow dragon inside was not as clumsy as before. Its power had increased by three levels.
If it wasn't for Gu Zheng taking away two yellow dragons from inside, they would have been in dire straits. Even now, they were in a sorry state.
The previous defense had been broken. Now, everyone's body was flashing with different colors. While avoiding the yellow dragon's attacks, they were looking for the weakest point inside so that they could concentrate their firepower and break out.
However, the four walls inside were all covered with yellow mist. Some of the attacks that did not hurt or itch could not break through the outer defense. And when they wanted to concentrate, they were forcibly scattered by Gu Zheng.
The yellow dragon behind them could not be killed at all. Even if they used a powerful magic weapon to scatter it, the next moment, another yellow dragon would appear in the blink of an eye in another place and catch up in a few breaths. The huge power made them not dare to take it too many times.
Especially now that the temperature inside was getting higher and higher. Originally, under the protection of the body protection, they were not affected at all. Now, they could feel a weak heat penetrating through the outside and penetrating their bodies, which made them a little worried.
This magic weapon was obviously more powerful the longer it was inside. If they did not get out for a long time, even if they were very strong, they would be forcibly refined inside.
Gu Zheng also knew this, so his initial purpose was to trap them. As long as they stayed inside for a long time, the yellow flame inside would eventually become more and more tyrannical. Its power was not inferior to the Three True Fire. If it were not for the power of incense to protect their bodies, which indirectly reduced the damage of the Nine Dragons Shield, they would have suffered a lot now.
However, Gu Zheng did not cause much harm to them. On the other side, Xu Lao had already finished his action. He pushed the strange magic weapon, under a flash in the air, ignored the defense of the Nine Dragons Shield, and had already penetrated inside.
A transparent shield appeared on everyone's body. The scorching heat and the attacks from the yellow dragon were unable to harm them at all.
"Quickly gather together, I will open a passage for you!" Elder Xu's voice rang out in the air, making them overjoyed. They hurriedly gathered together with the giant dragons.
Moreover, when they gathered together, the barrier on their bodies once again formed a larger shield. Within three feet of the shield, there was not a trace of fire. All of them were forced back by an invisible force.
At the same time, a spike protruded from the shield and pierced into the void, causing the Nine Dragons Shield to shake continuously.
Seeing that the seven yellow dragons were unable to do anything to the other party and sensing that the other party wanted to use the other party's mysterious transcendent artifact to help them escape, Gu Zheng's hand gesture changed. He spat out a mouthful of blood and disappeared in the air.
A pillar of blood suddenly appeared in front of the eyes of each yellow dragon and merged into it. The flames on the bodies of the seven yellow dragons inside the Divine Dragon Cover suddenly rose. Then, one by one, they danced and intertwined in the air. In the end, they turned into an even more ferocious and enormous yellow dragon.
Every single flame on its body seemed to have substance. The crackling sound of burning could be heard unceasingly in the air.
Its yellow eyes were several times bigger than a lantern. It glanced below and roared in the void. A huge yellow fireball was spat out from the sky and instantly collided with the barrier below.
"Bang!" A loud sound rang out.
The originally invisible barrier below turned silver in the instant of contact. The violent vibration caused the entire barrier to tremble violently.
Not only that, the yellow flames from the yellow fireball's explosion covered the barrier once again. It burned fiercely above, and even the air was somewhat distorted by the heat. They could not feel any threat inside, but they knew that if they continued to be passive like this, it was definitely not a solution.
Elder Xu naturally knew the power of this transcendent artifact. He glanced at Gu Zheng's side. It could still trap him for a while. He also spat out a mouthful of blood and disappeared in the void. The silver light inside was even more powerful. It even started to change into a silver-white color.
"Bang!"
Just after all this was done, the yellow dragon above carried infinite power. It flashed in the air and hit the barrier with its tail. The silver light and yellow flames splashed everywhere. It trembled incessantly, causing the few people below to tremble with fear.
At the same time, they secretly swore in their hearts that as long as they went out, they must teach Gu Zheng a lesson.
If he had known that Zhang Xuan had such a precious treasure, how could he have been so careless and allowed the other party to capture him in one fell swoop? Even if there were many people outside restraining him, it would still be better than being beaten up without being able to retaliate.
"Bang! Bang!"
Intensive collision sounds continued to ring out, but they still did not break through the opponent's tortoise-shell-like defense. Elder Xu's face became brighter and brighter. Outside the Nine Dragons Barrier, a place had begun to become illusory. It was obvious that the opponent would soon break through a hole.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
With three consecutive sounds, a hole appeared on the Nine Dragons Barrier. The defense that trapped Gu Zheng was finally broken. On the other side, the yellow dragon that had defeated the wind dragon also heavily pounced on Elder Xu.
A mouthful of blood sprayed out. Elder Xu was completely focused on controlling the Nine Dragons Barrier. He did not expect that his wind dragon would be defeated by the opponent at this time. He was no longer able to maintain the transcendent artifact inside.
Facing the Yellow Dragon that was chasing after him, Xu Lao squeezed the feather fan in his hand, and it turned into feathers that circled around him. Specks of light lit up, and after a few rays of silver light refracted a few times on the feathers, a thick silver ball of light protected Elder Xu.
Seeing this, Gu Zheng's mind moved, and the entire yellow dragon instantly exploded, forming a blazing fireball that firmly surrounded him.
When Pang Li saw that Elder Xu was attacked, he discovered that the hole he had forcibly opened was flickering. Without saying anything, his entire body turned into a ray of light and charged out.
Immediately after, two other figures followed behind him and charged out as well.
"Damn it!"
Bai Tianyun looked at the wall that had once again healed. He somewhat angrily punched the wall in front of him, but it did not even break the layer of yellow mist. He was just a step late and did not manage to get out.
Not only him, the three people behind him were also somewhat absent-minded as they looked in front of them.
At this time, without Elder Xu's control, the clear trembling sound above them had clearly become louder.
Those loud sounds were like a blow to their hearts, causing their expressions to become very ugly.
"While the opponent is distracted, we should quickly think of a way to open this weak spot!" Another person said to them.
They all agreed. Bai Tianyun also dodged to the side. They all took out their weapons and began to wildly bombard the hole they had just opened.
On the other side, Gu Zheng had already charged towards Pang Li. Taking advantage of the fact that Pang Li had just come out, he appeared in front of him in a flash. A golden light flashed and his sword slashed towards Pang Li's head.
"Clang!"
Pang Li urgently pulled out his weapon and blocked in front of him. He successfully blocked the sword on his shoulder.
Feeling the coldness of the sword, a trace of cold sweat dripped down his forehead. If it were not for his quick reaction, his head would have been cut off.
At this time, the other two people who had come out with him saw this scene and rushed over to attack Gu Zheng from both sides.
Gu Zheng coldly looked at them and used his hand to return to his original position.
"No, I surrender!" A weak voice rang out in the air. Pang Li turned to look and found that Bai Tianyun and the others' defenses had already been broken. They were completely immersed in a sea of flames.
Those flames had already ignored their defenses and began to burn their bodies.
The flames inside were even more vigorous. The huge yellow dragon descended from the sky and swallowed one of them, causing Bai Tianyun to immediately shout in fright.
Gu Zheng was not moved at all. If they wanted to kill him and still want to live in the end, that was impossible.
After a few breaths of time, the yellow dragon in the air spat out a large ball of flames from its mouth and surrounded all of them. When the flames disappeared, there was no one left inside.
Gu Zheng raised his hand and the huge Nine Dragons Cover shrunk rapidly and returned to his palm. At the same time, the yellow dragon that was wandering in the air behind him also entered through the opening on top of the Nine Dragons Cover and merged with the shrunken yellow dragon.
Looking at the raging flames, Gu Zheng also withdrew the Nine Dragons Cover, revealing the silver ball of light inside.
When Xu Lao's figure reappeared, he saw Pang Li and the others who were heavily injured. When he saw the Divine Dragon Cover in Gu Zheng's hand, his face sank.
The four people who had disappeared were obviously dead.
"Master Pang, what should we do?" Wu Jun, who was lucky to not die, transmitted his voice to Pang Li.
"Wait and see, don't take the lead!" Pang Li retreated a little and transmitted his voice to him.
Another person quickly came behind Xu Lao and looked at the treasure in Gu Zheng's hand with some fear.
"How is it? You don't seem to be convinced!" Gu Zheng raised his eyebrows and said with a faint smile as he tossed the Nine Dragons Cover in his hand.
The giant dragon that had merged the nine yellow dragons also came out of the Nine Dragons Cover and kept circling around Gu Zheng.
"Xu Lao?" The person behind Xu Lao said anxiously.
"What a good plan. Even I didn't see through it. You're really bold and careful, not afraid of death!" Even so, Xu Lao still praised.
"You flatter me, you flatter me!" Gu Zheng narrowed his eyes and said with killing intent, "I'm the kind of person who doesn't offend people who don't offend me. But if you provoke me, then don't blame me for not being polite!"
"You're young and impetuous. Sooner or later, you'll suffer a great loss. At this time, I'm afraid your village has already been breached!" Xu Lao looked at Gu Zheng's confident face and couldn't help but say again.
"You don't need to worry about this problem. On the contrary, I think you're going to have a hard time in the coming days!" Gu Zheng said indifferently.
"In that case, I wish you good luck!" Xu Lao looked at Gu Zheng and then said to Pang Li.
"Let's go!"
At this time, Gu Zheng who had the Nine Dragons Cover was not someone they could forcefully kill. Especially now that the four of them were injured, it was better to be wiser.
Looking at their figures disappear in front of him, Gu Zheng's confident expression also faded and his face flushed red. He spat out a few mouthfuls of blood from his mouth and felt a little better.
In this short fight, Gu Zheng also suffered a lot of injuries. The price of trapping all of them inside was also very high, especially when the other side was crazily destroying everything inside before they died. Every attack caused the blood in Gu Zheng's heart to tremble.
It was a pity that the elixir could recover his magic power, but it had no effect on the power of incense. Moreover, the Demonic Grass in his body seemed to have changed and could no longer absorb the power of incense. Otherwise, none of them would have been able to escape.
Gu Zheng stayed in place for a while, then withdrew the Nine Dragons Cover and headed back to his village.
On this side, Xu Lao and the others were flying back to their own base. Along the way, everyone was silent. After a while, Pang Li said with some reluctance.
"Xu Lao, why didn't I give it a try at the end? If your magical weapon could hold the other side for a while, then we would have a very high chance of killing them!"
Xu Lao did not say anything and only stretched out his hand. That hand was just holding it from the beginning. Everyone looked at it curiously.
As he slowly opened his palm, a ball of white powder was blown away by the wind. Soon, it disappeared without a trace.
Seeing this, everyone was silent again.
Xu Lao's magical weapon was completely destroyed. Against the other side, there was nothing he could think of to resist. No wonder he wanted everyone to leave.
When everyone returned to their base with their own thoughts, the scene in front of them made them even more shocked.
"What's going on here? Did the other side send reinforcements to ambush us? "Wu Jun said in disbelief.
At this time, the place where they were stationed was no longer as clean and majestic as before. Looking at it now, it was a mess. There were holes everywhere, and the ground was littered with injured people and many soldiers with lifeless eyes. They were like walking corpses.
It was as if a weak little girl was being trampled on.
"It's over, it's completely over this time!" Xu Lao looked down and knew what had happened. He muttered to himself.
His face looked as if he had aged ten years and was full of fatigue.
.....
When Gu Zheng returned, he saw that the village was indeed full of joy. Everyone was in a great surprise.
On the large open space outside, hundreds of thousands of captives were sitting outside dejectedly. There were even hundreds of Heavenly Immortals who were sitting outside with faces full of joy.
The cheers that rang out from time to time, as well as the endless words of praise for Gu Zheng, all indicated that they had won the final victory.
With just this battle, it was already determined that the other side's wish to destroy Xifeng Village had failed.
Gu Zheng had just arrived at the top of the village when he saw He Sheng and the others were all talking and laughing at the entrance of the village. Except for Xing Xing's group, the others were below, obviously waiting for him. He turned around and landed.
"Young Master Gu, are you alright?" When he saw that Gu Zheng was not in the village, He Sheng knew that Gu Zheng had gone out to fight with the other side. Although he was confident, under the worries of the people around him, he was also a little uneasy. Seeing that Gu Zheng had returned safely, the last trace of worry in his heart completely disappeared.
"It's fine, the other side can't do anything to me!" Gu Zheng did not want to show off at all, and just brushed it off.
"Then where are they?" Little Monkey, who could not stand the loneliness, quickly asked when he heard this.
Not only him, but the others, including Qing Xuan and Caidie, all looked at Gu Zheng curiously.
"Four died and four fled!" Gu Zheng said casually, as if he did not feel that anything was wrong, as if he was shooing away a few troublesome little mice.
"Hiss, hiss …"
Everyone took a deep breath and looked at each other. They could see that each other's eyes were filled with shock.
"This is simply worse than the Soul-Devouring Beast. Is the Soul-Devouring Beast still human?" Little Monkey said absentmindedly.
No wonder he was so confident and did not put the Soul-Devouring Beast in his eyes. It was because he was just like a monster.
"Young Master Gu, are you really at the late stage of Jin Xian?" Zhu Wu, who had been observing from the side for a long time, finally could not help but ask.
"Of course, but I have a treasure, which is why I can beat the other side to this extent!" Gu Zheng saw that Zhu Wu had asked this question, so he simply took out the Nine Dragons Shield and released a little of its power.
"No wonder, no wonder!" Zhu Wu said with a sudden realization. It was not strange that Gu Zheng had this thing.
"Well, how was it this time? Did we lose a lot?" Gu Zheng put away the Nine Dragons Cover. Only then did he ask about them. Although they had won, he didn't know the details.
"Da Sheng, Young Master Gu, this time it was Da Sheng." Speaking until here, He Sheng's face was full of excitement, and he quickly told him the results of this battle.
This time was different from the previous time when they had painstakingly ambushed the other side's statue and finally won a difficult victory.
They had relied on their own strength to face enemies three times their size and forcibly defeated the other side. They had even attacked the other side's camp all the way, and only then did they give up and return.
Moreover, their losses were extremely small. Those injured people only needed to recover for a few days and they would be alive and kicking again.
This kind of feeling made He Sheng have a kind of impulse even now. He wanted to find another tribe and kill them all.
"Not bad, as expected of a warrior who has been trained hard. But this time, the most important thing is to thank Miss Cai Die and Brother Zhu Wu. Without their support, it would be hard to say if we were attacked from the back."
"No, no, this is what we should do. If it was not for Young Master Gu's strength, even with our help, we would not have been able to defeat the other side. I am ashamed to say that we only blocked the other side for a moment. If it was not for Fellow He's support, we would have been defeated by the other side." Cai Die said with some embarrassment.
"No matter what, the victory belongs to us. The other side will not have any hope. If the other side does not know what is good for them, then don't blame us for killing them!" Gu Zheng said heroically.
"Haha!"
Everyone also laughed and crowded around Gu Zheng to return.
