The wind was howling all over the sky. Countless huge gusts of wind made the ghostly wailing sound even more tyrannical. Even Gu Zheng was frowning a little.
However, the gaps in the surrounding were not enough for Gu Zheng to smoothly pass through. If he forced his way through, Gu Zheng would undoubtedly be sucked in.
Fortunately, the four of them were moving in this direction at the same time. As a result, they interfered with each other and moved very slowly. This gave Gu Zheng plenty of time to think.
However, although their speed was very slow, the black spots in the Yin wind began to jump out one by one.
In the blink of an eye, thousands of black shadows appeared around Gu Zheng, surrounding him. After a slight pause, they all rushed toward Gu Zheng.
With so many black shadows, Gu Zheng had no way to eliminate them all at the same time, especially when he was still stabilizing his body to resist the suction force.
In the blink of an eye, Gu Zheng was surrounded by them, forming a huge black ball. At the critical moment, a yellow shield was raised and temporarily blocked them out.
Some chewing sounds could be heard in the air. In just a few breaths, the shield raised by Gu Zheng shook a little. It seemed that it would not be able to hold on for long.
However, this little bit of time was enough. Gu Zheng raised his wrist, and a red line flashed from the Li Bracelet. A line of fire directly shot out from it and quickly spread along the yellow shield.
The next moment, red flames spewed out from the black ball. The black shadows were instantly sent flying by the strong impact. A small part of them even turned into clouds of black gas in midair and disappeared without a trace.
The surrounding gray snakes revealed themselves in the air and flicked their tongues at Gu Zheng. However, compared to the huge scale before, they were much more sparse now.
"Beep beep!"
Suddenly, a sharp whistle sounded from the periphery. The gray snakes that wanted to rush up paused and began to gather crazily in the air.
The distance was beyond the black forest, and there was no way to attack. Gu Zheng could only feel a strong force gathering.
However, what surprised Gu Zheng the most was that there was someone outside commanding these gray snakes. He was sure that he had not heard that strange sound wrong.
His massive Spirit Consciousness swept out in all directions, but to no avail.
Gu Zheng was sure that the other party was either a friend or an enemy. Could it be that they were following him from behind?
Just as he was thinking, a sound suddenly came from above his head. He looked up and saw a gray snake about forty feet long descending from the sky. Its body wasn't as transparent as before. Now, it seemed to be solid. He could even see streams of gray flowing around its body.
The gray snake was still in midair, its mouth wide open. A mass of air was rapidly condensing in its mouth. When Gu Zheng felt the extreme threat, he realized that the other party had already blurted out its attack.
A ball of ash the size of a washbasin rushed towards his head.
At this moment, as the sinister winds approached once again, Gu Zheng did not have much room to maneuver. If he was careless, he would be sucked into the sinister winds. That would not be the end of the attack.
Gu Zheng stretched out his right hand and pointed in front of him. Ripples appeared in the void, and a snow-white vortex appeared in the blink of an eye. Then, Gu Zheng's other hand slammed forward, and the vortex suddenly accelerated.
When the mass of air was only halfway down, a stream of frost shot up from below, instantly passing through the mass of air.
The mass of air was suddenly stunned in the air. Countless layers of frost rose around it, surrounding it in layers. Finally, it turned into a white ball and fell from the sky.
The gray snake that was following closely behind was also swept by the frost. Its entire body was frozen in the air, and a layer of pure white ice surrounded it. Only its eyes were still rolling around.
"Ka ka"
In just a breath's time, traces of cracks appeared on the ice. In almost the blink of an eye, the originally smooth and tidy ice was covered with cracks. Even the gray snake's mouth began to open slightly, as if it was about to attack in the next moment.
Gu Zheng smiled contemptuously. With a flick of his finger, a green wind blade rushed up from the tip of his finger.
After flickering in the air, it turned into a huge wind blade and streaked across the body of the gray snake that was about to break free. The gray snake that was still struggling suddenly stopped moving. It was cut into two parts in the air and slowly fell from the sky.
"Snap"
Gu Zheng snapped his fingers. The wind blade that streaked across the sky suddenly blossomed in the next moment. It turned into a rain of green arrows and fell down at an extremely fast speed.
The two broken limbs that had just moved were pierced through by the green rain before they could recover. They turned into gray mist and dissipated in the air.
Gu Zheng knew the characteristics of the other party. He would not give it any chance to resurrect.
Fortunately, the black specks of ash in the sinister winds would not all come out. Otherwise, he really would not know where to start.
However, the problem of the gray mist was solved. However, the surrounding sinister winds were still slowly approaching. Gu Zheng already felt that the crazy power was beginning to pull his body vaguely.
No matter how slow those few huge sinister winds were, they were approaching the center at this time. They were less than ten feet away from Gu Zheng.
That huge wind was still slowly approaching, but Gu Zheng did not have any good ideas. Now, in order to avoid being sucked in, half of his body had sunk into the ground. There was also a layer of frost, which directly froze him to the ground.
Gu Zhengzheng was prepared to be sucked in, but suddenly, an ear-piercing sound like glass rang out in the air, causing him to frown. Immediately after, the originally ferocious cold wind suddenly froze in the air.
Gu Zheng looked carefully. Originally, as they approached, they collided with each other at almost the same time. Now, they were stuck in the air like gears.
"Good opportunity!"
At this time, there was a small gap at the bottom. Taking advantage of the fact that they were all frozen in the air, how could he miss this opportunity?
At the same time, Gu Zheng had already rushed out of the ground. As he thought in his heart, his body had already accelerated.
When the thought in his mind fell, Gu Zheng's body rushed out of the narrow passage like a bolt of lightning. Moreover, he did not stop moving to the side.
When he was about a hundred feet away, his face suddenly changed. Layers of shield emerged from his body again.
Just as he was ready, a few earth-shattering explosions came from behind. Then, an unparalleled wave of air swept out quickly in all directions.
The black wood that was originally deeply rooted here was like a toy. It did not have the slightest resistance. Together with a large piece of soil below, it was lifted up.
Everywhere the wave of air passed, all the black wood was lifted up, without exception.
At this time, the sky did not care whether the black wood below was an enemy. Countless lightning gathered and like rain, it struck the black wood that was flying in the air.
The deafening sound of lightning reverberated in the sky.
However, Gu Zheng did not ask too much, because the wave of air also lifted him up. However, under his special preparation, at least his whole body flew forward. If he was also lifted up, he was afraid that he would not be able to avoid some lightning.
Although he was already so far away, before the other party came, he ran a bit ahead. Coupled with the protection on his body, it also shook his body and caused his blood to surge. He spat out a few mouthfuls of blood in the air.
"Bang bang bang"
After smashing a few black wood, Gu Zheng finally fell heavily to the ground.
"It hurts!"
Gu Zheng sucked in a breath of cold air and cried out in pain. He slowly crawled up from the ground, feeling as if his entire body was about to fall apart. Every part of his body seemed to be complaining to Gu Zheng about the heavy injuries he had suffered.
A layer of faint flames burned on his body. Gu Zheng felt much better.
"That is?"
Gu Zheng suddenly saw a figure running past. When he turned his head to look, he did not see anything. However, he saw a surge of gray fog, which meant that something had passed by here.
He immediately thought of the whistling sound from before and immediately rushed in the direction of the other party. He wanted to see who was causing trouble behind the scenes.
Just now, he was wondering why four Yin Winds suddenly appeared and surrounded him. It turned out that someone had done something.
Not long after, Gu Zheng saw a figure not far in front of him. It was also running, but looking at the other party's somewhat messy breath, it was obvious that it had also suffered heavy injuries.
That figure looked back at Gu Zheng who was chasing closely and suddenly took out something. Suddenly, a large amount of gray fog emerged from the other party's body, blocking Gu Zheng's vision for a moment.
Gu Zheng's movements were slightly sluggish. Before he could do anything else, the fog in front of him rolled slightly and a black figure drilled out from it.
It was a large crab-like creature. It was as big as a house. It rolled its eyes and looked at Gu Zheng. It opened its two huge claws and blocked his path.
However, there was a lot of gray fog on the surface of its body. It looked like a creature that had drilled out from the Yin Winds.
"Just a mere beast!"
Gu Zheng's voice had just fallen when the gray crab opened its mouth and spat out a black light. It attacked Gu Zheng from above.
The black light column emitted a cold and gloomy air. It was like a ghost that had descended. It made people unable to help but feel fear.
However, for Gu Zheng, it seemed to be a child's play.
Gu Zheng's left hand moved. There were two wrist lines on his arm, one blue and one green. The green light flashed and a jade bracelet was put on his wrist.
Gu Zheng waved his hand and the jade bracelet flashed with green light. A green long sword condensed in the air. It trembled in mid-air and instantly turned into a dozen green swords. The tip of each sword pointed at the black light and emitted a green light that was not inferior to the black light.
The black light that was quickly spreading through the air was immediately blocked by the dozen or so azure lights, but it only lasted for an instant before the remaining azure lights fused together as one, crushing the black light along the way as they rushed toward the crab's head.
"Dang!" a light sound was heard.
The giant crab raised one of its giant pincers in front of itself, and the powerful azure light was only able to leave a white spot on its pincer before failing to do anything else.
As for the other giant pincer, it smashed down towards Gu Zheng with a piercing sound.
Gu Zheng retreated and commanded all the green swords to gather together again. In a flash, a huge green sword that was more than a hundred feet long appeared in the air. It rushed up and stopped just above the giant claw. It slashed down towards the giant claw.
"Bang!"
The huge green sword landed heavily on the weakest point of the giant crab. However, to Gu Zheng's surprise, the giant crab was so hard that it only interrupted the attack. According to Gu Zheng's original plan, the giant crab was to directly cut off the giant claw.
Gu Zheng was stunned. The giant claw that was falling suddenly rose and hit the middle of the green sword.
The huge sword was bent by the tyrannical power and flew towards the sky.
"Kacha!"
At this moment, a dense sound suddenly came from the sky above. At the same time, a bolt of lightning fell from the sky and struck the green sword. The entire green sword turned into a cloud of green gas and dissipated in the air.
This sudden lightning scared the giant crab. Its body trembled. The giant claw that was about to attack Gu Zheng was immediately withdrawn. Gu Zheng's eyes lit up. The giant crab's reaction gave Gu Zheng a new idea.
With a flip of his wrist, a long sword appeared in his hand again. He quickly wiped the sword and a layer of golden light shone on it.
At the same time, Gu Zheng lightly touched the sword and a purple lightning appeared on it.
Gu Zheng tossed the sword out and it transformed into a golden sword that was tens of zhang long in the air. This time, however, purple-coloured arcs of lightning appeared on the surface of the sword. It did not take long for the golden sword to be completely covered by a layer of lightning.
The golden longsword transformed into a purple lightning sword and charged forward again. This time, it wasn't aimed at the giant pincers. Instead, it was aimed directly at the top of the giant crab's head. Just as the giant crab was about to raise its pincers again, a purple lightning arc suddenly descended from above, causing the giant crab's movements to abruptly falter.
Then, the purple thunder sword took the opportunity to instantly fall and cut the giant crab's head without any obstruction. The giant crab's body was immediately cut in two. The purple lightning kept jumping in the wreckage.
Soon, the two halves of the giant crab's body fell from the sky and exploded with a bang. It turned into two clouds of gray gas and floated away. It was completely dead.
Gu Zheng, on the other hand, was delayed by the giant crab. When he looked forward again, he had already lost track of that figure.
"You ran pretty fast. The next time I see you, I will not let you go!" Gu Zheng snorted and put away his weapon. The green ring on his wrist turned into a green line and wrapped around the giant crab.
Gu Zheng took out the white crystal core again. After sensing the correct direction, he found that his path was a little off. He adjusted it and continued to fly.
Now was not the time to look for the other party. The most important thing now was to go to the sacrificial ground.
"Eh?"
After half a day, Gu Zheng found that something was different. Because at this time, not only did the cold wind not appear, but the surrounding black trees also began to gradually become sparse. It was obvious that they were going to go out.
Gu Zheng vigilantly looked around and continued to move forward.
Gradually, even the whistling sound disappeared. Even the faint gray fog in the air was reduced. The surroundings were incomparably clear.
"Have I already passed through the black forest?" Gu Zheng continued to move forward. He secretly thought. However, through the gaps in the forest, he looked at the distant mountain peak and shook his head.
From his position, the distance of the mountain peak was a lot closer. However, he had at most reached the central position. At least, it would take many days to reach it.
He stopped and continued to sense the crystal core. The path he was taking was not wrong. Then, he continued to fly forward.
After half a day, Gu Zheng's footsteps stopped. At this time, there was an unusual place in front of him.
This place was like a valley. The surrounding was not blocked by rocks. Instead, there were dense branches like rocks blocking the rest of the passage. The branches were as high as dozens of feet. Unless one flew over, one could only pass through the valley. There was only one entrance in front of him that was about dozens of feet wide.
However, the entrance was filled with black fog. It was like a substance. It even blocked Gu Zheng's divine sense. He did not know what was inside.
Feeling the crystal core's guidance, he indeed passed through this valley. Gu Zheng hesitated for a moment. He did not go in first. Instead, he swept around to see if there was a way to bypass this place.
After half a day, Gu Zheng once again returned here. Then, his body was covered with a layer of yellow light. He walked directly toward the entrance and was swallowed in a blink of an eye.
The other places were full of this kind of branches. Moreover, they were very hard. Even if Gu Zheng used all his strength, he could only leave a white mark on them. After looking around, he knew that even if he went to other places, there must be a similar valley waiting for him.
This place was like a pass, firmly intercepting this place. If he wanted to pass, he must go in.
As soon as he entered the black fog, it was pitch-black in front of him. He could only see dozens of feet in front of him. He could not distinguish the surrounding situation further. However, Gu Zheng knew that as long as he walked forward, he would be fine.
Moreover, the black fog was like a swamp, making Gu Zheng's walking speed greatly reduced. Even if he wanted to break through quickly, he could only move forward at a speed comparable to a turtle.
Moreover, when he came in, the long-lost sound once again sounded in the air. It was like a baby crying, sharp and strange sound. It ignored Gu Zheng's protection and went straight to the depths of his mind.
Although the intensity of the sound was not as loud as the previous ghost cry, and even sometimes it stopped to gasp for breath, but it soon sounded here without any pattern.
However, the power was greater than before. It was impossible to guard against.
Gu Zheng sensed the surroundings and slowed down again. He was vigilant towards the surroundings.
Not long after entering, he suddenly found a figure standing in front of him. A gray robe covered most of the head. In addition, the other party's head was suspiciously lowered. It was impossible to see the other party's face.
However, the moment Gu Zheng saw this, he sped up and rushed forward without hesitation, throwing a punch at his opponent's head.
The other party seemed to have not reacted. He stood motionless in the same place. He did not even have the intention to defend.
However, when the fist shadow came into contact with the other party's body, he was shocked to find that it was just a shadow. As the ripples appeared again, the other party's scattered shadow gathered again. He raised his pale face and looked at Gu Zheng with a pair of scarlet eyes.
"Go back, arrogant human. This is not a place you can set foot in. Otherwise, you will regret it."
