The dark red sky did not seem to be anything special, but when Gu Zheng was a bit higher, a lot of red mist appeared out of nowhere. It formed a red net above Gu Zheng's head, blocking his way.
A layer of black light flashed on Gu Zheng's body. It ignored the red lines and broke through a gap.
All of the red threads seemed to be angry. They disappeared from the sky. The next moment, countless red threads appeared around Gu Zheng's body. They wrapped around him, and in the blink of an eye, he was wrapped up like a dumpling.
It was so fast that Gu Zheng did not have time to react.
Countless negative energies came from outside, and the layer of defense could not stop them. It made Gu Zheng's vision become chaotic. Endless fear, sadness, and pain appeared in his heart.
At the same time, the bats below opened their mouths again and let out a shriek that was even louder than before. Circles of light waves that could be seen with the naked eye constantly flashed in the air and rushed up.
Gu Zheng felt dizzy. He could not control his body, and he fell from the sky. The cocoon-like red mist on his body fell away when Gu Zheng fell a certain distance.
The bats swarmed up and surrounded Gu Zheng. Their mouths were not sharp, but when they pecked, it made the shield in front of Gu Zheng ripple.
At the same time, their claws flashed with black light. They kept scratching at the shield, and the sound of glass being scratched was heard.
Without the continuous interference of the red mist, Gu Zheng finally woke up from the chaos. He saw that his shield was about to be broken by the bats.
Gu Zheng raised his long sword, and a sky full of sword air exploded around him. The sharp sword air cut the small creatures into pieces of black mist in the blink of an eye. He then moved away from his position.
Seeing that there was no danger for the time being, he put away the black shield for the time being.
At this moment, the scene in the sky was still the same as before. The red line that was obstructing him earlier had already disappeared. However, he knew that if he did not have a good way to resist the tyrannical negative emotions, his next attempt would be futile, and the outcome would be no different from this time.
Traces of red mist emerged from the scattered black mist. While Gu Zheng was observing above, the black mist below continued to gather together, forming new bats. However, this time, their pitch-black bodies had an additional tinge of red.
Once these bats were formed, they rushed toward Gu Zheng again. But in the blink of an eye, a golden light appeared in front of him. Their bodies that had just formed were scattered in the air again.
Gu Zheng was thinking about how to break through that layer of defense. He was sure that the blue-robed man was in the sky, and the weakness of this space was also up there.
Sensing the bats appear again, Gu Zheng casually turned them into black fog again. They were not afraid of normal attacks, but Gu Zheng had added some things into his attacks that greatly countered them. As such, he was able to easily scatter them. No matter how fast they recovered, they were not as threatening as the puppets below.
At least, he did not have a good way to deal with them.
However, he did not notice that with each scattering, the red mist on the bats' bodies was getting bigger and bigger.
It was only until his final attack failed to scatter the other party and the other party continued to fly towards him that Gu Zheng shifted his attention to the other party.
"What the hell is this!"
Looking at the bats that were as red as jade, Gu Zheng was given a fright. When did they become like this? His sword light was constantly flashing in the air, but now, it had passed through the bats' bodies, unable to harm them at all.
"Haha, you're really stupid. You're actually watching my little pet slowly evolve. This time, you're really dead!" The blue-robed man's figure appeared above it.
Perhaps he was already confident in his victory, and was sure that Gu Zheng would not have a chance to come up, so he simply showed his figure in the open. That way, he could satisfy his heart's desire.
Gu Zheng did not have time to bicker with the blue-robed man. When those red bats approached him, his temporary shield could not stop them at all, and they all bit toward him.
In the blink of an eye, Gu Zheng's body was covered with bats, completely burying him.
Gu Zheng's body suddenly burned with raging flames, but it had no effect on the blood-red bats. Transparent streams of air were greedily sucked into their stomachs through their mouths, causing their bodies to become bigger.
Gu Zheng felt his whole body start to become drowsy. These bats were actually sucking his mental strength.
But before Gu Zheng could think of a way, suddenly, a mighty tiger's roar rose from the void. When the bats heard it, they flew down from Gu Zheng's body as if they were facing a great enemy, and some of them flew back and forth in the air in fear.
And just when Gu Zheng was still confused about what was going on, a ray of light suddenly rose from his body, and then rushed out, and changed into a majestic giant white tiger in midair.
"Isn't that him? Why is it on me? "Gu Zheng subconsciously took a step back, and thought in shock.
But when he took a closer look, he realized that the white tiger seemed to have lost its consciousness, and only its instincts were left. It was eyeing the blood-red bats in front of it covetously, guarding Gu Zheng firmly.
But in his heart, he was still wondering what was going on. Perhaps when he died, he used a trick to attach himself to his body without him noticing, and was in a state of recovery. In the end, he was awakened by this swarm of bats. But perhaps the abnormal awakening caused him to suffer unbearable damage, and that was why he became like this.
Gu Zheng's thoughts came back to him, and with a thought, he pointed at the bats opposite him and shouted.
"Go!"
In the end, it really did listen to Gu Zheng's words, and jumped into the swarm of bats. It opened its mouth wide, and a blood-red bat that did not escape in time was instantly swallowed into its stomach.
Using the impact, the white tiger made a circle on the spot, and its front claws clawed at the blood-red bats not far away. In an instant, they were torn to pieces. Its tail was like a steel whip, and a few bats that did not dodge in time were also smashed into pieces in the air.
Following which, the blood-red bats dodged even further away. They seemed to be very afraid of the white tiger, and could no longer form a circle around Gu Zheng.
Moreover, before those smashed blood-red bats could gather again, a suction force rose from the white tiger's body, and it actually drilled into the white tiger's body, and absorbed them alive.
The blue-robed man above did not think of this, and his expression instantly froze. However, he quickly reacted and made a series of hand seals in front of his chest. In the sky, pillars of red light shone on the blood-red bats below, and their bodies swelled up like balloons. They were at least a quarter of the size of the white tiger.
The blood-red bats, whose strength had increased greatly, were no longer as fearful of the white tiger as before. They all screeched continuously in the outer circle, and it seemed like they wanted to attack together.
The white tiger slightly turned its eyes, and looked at the creatures that were overestimating themselves. It raised its head and puffed out its chest, and roared again.
The loud roar echoed throughout the entire space, and some blood-red bats flew down from the sky. This was a warning, and also a new signal to attack.
The majesty of a king was obvious at a glance.
Before the blood-red bats could attack, a string of white lotus-like flames was spat out from the white tiger's mouth, and they all rushed towards the blood-red bats around it.
As long as the blood-red bats were touched by the white lotuses, they would be instantly devoured. There was no room for them to struggle at all, as if they had met their nemesis.
On the other hand, the blood-red bats only had a few moves, but they were all useless against the white tiger. However, under the control of the blue-robed man, they were like moths to a flame, rushing towards the white tiger in a suicidal manner.
In an extremely short period of time, the blood-red bats around it were all devoured by the white tiger. More than half of the white tiger's body was dyed red, and it looked extremely demonic.
After doing all this, the white tiger looked down at the puppets below. A fierce light flashed, and it pounced down from the sky, pouncing on one of the puppets.
The sturdy body of the puppet was completely useless in front of the white tiger. In almost a breath's time, the puppet's entire body was torn into pieces, and a wisp of red mist was produced. Before the puppet could escape, it was sucked into the white tiger's mouth.
The blue-robed man looked down in a daze. When he saw that all his puppets had been destroyed by the white tiger and were flying towards the sky, he finally reacted and prepared to escape.
However, it was a little too late. Gu Zheng followed behind the white tiger and watched as it started to devour the red threads. He took the opportunity to come to the blue-robed man's side and sent a palm strike towards his back.
Bang!
The blue-robed man, who was just about to escape, was instantly struck down by the palm strike. The magic power in his body was scattered, and he fell towards the ground.
Before he could regain control of his body in midair, a sharp whistle came from the sky and chased after him at high speed.
"Ugh!"
The blue-robed man felt a pain in his chest. A longsword with a golden light had directly pierced through his chest. His strength rapidly disappeared in mid-air, and at the same time, his divine sense quickly became blurry.
"I can't accept this, I … I don't want … to die!"
The blue-robed man wanted to reach out and pull out the longsword, but he had only reached out halfway when his eyes widened. His arm fell limply, and then it landed heavily on the ground, completely lifeless.
Everything in his body had been minced into a pile of minced meat, and there was nothing left.
Gu Zheng had just heaved a sigh of relief. With the blue-robed man's death, he could clearly sense the location of the array core here. As long as he could break out, everything would be fine.
Looking at the blue-robed man below, who had died with his eyes open, Gu Zheng did not feel pity for the other party at all. He only relied on the magic treasure in his hand. In fact, deep in his heart, he was afraid.
If he had cooperated with those puppets at the beginning, he would have been in a difficult situation. It was a pity that he was as timid as a mouse and only dared to give orders in a safe place.
Gu Zheng reached out and grabbed. The longsword on the corpse automatically jumped out and then returned to Gu Zheng's palm.
The moment the longsword left, a red shadow instantly pounced from the sky and actually swallowed the blue-robed man's body. Then, the entire body began to change rapidly.
When Gu Zheng's weapon returned to his hand, a familiar figure appeared in mid-air again.
"Despicable woman, you actually dared to imprison me. I was almost refined by the other party. And you, you destroyed my physical body and caused me to be in such a situation." This figure was none other than the Tiger King that Gu Zheng had killed previously.
"You died in my hands previously. Do you still want to die a second time?!" Although he had indeed helped Gu Zheng previously, looking at the other party's angry expression, it was obvious that he wanted to do something.
"Despicable, despicable!" The Tiger King raised his head and looked at Gu Zheng. The red light on his body suddenly disappeared, and he rushed towards Gu Zheng with his bare hands.
In the process of advancing, the Tiger King's body actually gradually became transparent, very much like the blood bat's appearance from before.
Gu Zheng snorted coldly. His hands were constantly flipping, and his mouth was constantly muttering to himself. He already knew how to guard against this strange movement.
Just as the other party was about to collide with him, Gu Zheng let out a loud roar. A blood-red mirror surrounded Gu Zheng in all directions.
"Bam!"
The Tiger King's body collided with the mirror, and a loud sound was heard. However, a white shadow suddenly emerged from the mirror, and swiftly made its way towards Gu Zheng's body.
As for the physical body, it fell downwards once again. Before it landed, it turned into a ball of red mist and disappeared in mid-air.
As for the ball of shadow, it directly entered Gu Zheng's body.
Gu Zheng immediately sat cross-legged in mid-air and closed his eyes.
The other party actually wanted to seize his body. What wishful thinking.
Just as Gu Zheng closed his eyes, a trace of blue light suddenly appeared on his body, emitting from it.
.....
Outside, Qing Xuan and the other two people had already surrounded Chi Wen. Some of them were surrounding him with ill intentions.
"Are you sure that Young Master Gu is here and not purposely trying to delay our time?" Alder clenched his fists tightly, and strangely made threatening cracking sounds. His eyes were looking at him with ill intentions.
Cold sweat dripped from Chi Wen's forehead. Anyone who was surrounded by such a murderous aura would not be able to help but feel nervous.
"I'm definitely not lying to you. If I did, what good would it do me? Wouldn't I be beaten to death by you for nothing?" Chi Wen said with a long face. He even said what was in his heart.
Qing Xuan and the others also knew that this person was not from the Freedom Alliance. When he was escaping, they were all watching. It was just that they were a little worried when Gu Zheng did not appear for such a long time.
"Cold, you wouldn't dare. Stay here and don't move. Before Young Master Gu comes out, you have to maintain this position. Don't play any tricks. Otherwise, you won't be able to avoid some suffering," Alder said unhappily.
"Hey, Alder, don't be so fierce. We're all on the same side!" A voice rang out from the side.
"Oh, I know, Young Master Gu!" Alder said subconsciously.
"Young Master Gu! Are you alright? "
Qing Xuan who reacted immediately turned around and looked in the direction of the voice. As expected, Gu Zheng had already appeared in front of everyone.
"Young Master Gu!"
At this time, the others also reacted and turned around to shout. As for Chi Wen, no one was paying attention to him, which made him heave a sigh of relief.
"I'm fine at all. I was just delayed by some matters. However, the other party is indeed dead. I wanted to capture him and ask for information but failed!" Gu Zheng smiled and said to them.
At that time, Gu Zheng could have been merciful. However, he thought that this was his territory. If he took out something, wouldn't it cause trouble for him? So, he just killed the other party.
"That's right, Young Master Gu. We intercepted this thing from behind. It seems like it's a tip off." At this time, Alder raised the red-crowned crane in his hand as if he was asking for credit.
"Very good. However, it's been so long. The other party will definitely feel that something is wrong. There's no time to lose. We should leave this place now," Gu Zheng immediately said to them. Then, he turned around and said to Chi Wen.
"Daoist Chi, if you trust me, why don't you follow us first?"
"Senior Gu, if it wasn't for you in the past, I would have died there! And this time, you saved my life. How can I not trust you? "Chi Wen said respectfully to Gu Zheng.
"Alright. Then, leave this place with us."
After saying that, Gu Zheng's figure flew directly to the Heavenly Palace and led the four of them out of this place.
As for the battlefield here, there was no trace of him wanting to clean it up. Since Chi Wen had been rescued by him, it wouldn't be long before they would know that their current location had been exposed.
A day after Gu Zheng left, more than ten powerful auras came here. Looking at the traces of battle in the surroundings, one of them said with an ugly expression.
"He's already dead. There's no need to look anymore. Someone is loitering around here and took that person away!"
"How is that possible? A few days ago, we sent people to observe the surroundings. There was no one within a radius of thousands of miles." Another person said in disbelief.
"If I'm not guessing wrong, Daoist Qi has already been followed. The person who just happened to come here had something in his hand that could break our enchantment. In the end, it was such a coincidence that he escaped. He must have been taken away by that group of people." Another person found a flagpole at the side. Only half of the black flag was left on it. It was obviously destroyed.
"How is that possible? Don't slander me. When have I ever had a problem in all these years?" Daoist Qi was also among them. When he heard that, he was very dissatisfied.
"Besides, if it wasn't for the fact that you didn't even keep an eye on one person and let someone escape, you won't have an easy time this time!"
"Let's go. Stop arguing. Let's go back and report to the general. Let him make a decision!" The first person looked around and confirmed that there were no suspicious clues.
They came in a hurry and left in a hurry. They quickly left this place.
.....
Half a year later, Gu Zheng and the others finally returned to Xifeng Village after hurrying on with their journey.
During this time, Gu Zheng also learned about what happened after he fell into a coma. Only then did he realize that things were so complicated.
He almost couldn't get out of that place. No wonder when he woke up, he had lost his memory for a period of time.
However, after knowing that everyone had left, he felt much more relieved. His efforts had not been in vain.
Chi Wen was also familiar with Qing Xuan and the others. However, this was not the thing that he valued. On the way, Chi Wen had just said something when he was stopped by Gu Zheng.
Therefore, as soon as he returned, he asked Qing Xuan and the others to inform He Sheng to prepare. They would be teleported over at any time. He pulled Chi Wen into his room. After setting up a few enchantments around them to ensure that no one could eavesdrop, he said to Chi Wen.
"You're saying that you were chased by the Shura people and had no choice but to come here?"
