The five phoenixes each had a pearl in their mouths, and it only took them an instant to materialize.
Before Gu Zheng could say anything, the five phoenixes rushed towards the spirit from the ground.
Each of the five phoenixes was ten feet in size, and they carried an aura that could destroy everything. They had already arrived in the air, leaving a path of burning flames behind them.
Gu Zheng didn't say anything, and his whole body flashed to the side. At the same time, the light on his body kept flashing, and the same purple sword from before appeared in the air openly this time.
As long as that kind of method was used once, it was basically useless to use it again, so it was better to directly rush forward.
On the other side, Xing Cai's eyes were fixed on the spirit. She opened her mouth slightly in the air and spat out gently. There was nothing, but the pearl in the phoenix's mouth lit up with a red light, and five thick pillars of fire instantly shot towards the spirit from its mouth.
The spirit casually put away the long silk in his hand, and his eyes began to flicker with a strange light. He put his hands together and bowed slightly.
His body suddenly emitted a red light that seemed to have materialized into the sky. It was almost impossible to see his figure clearly. Countless red runes were constantly shuttling back and forth within it, tightly wrapping him inside like a huge shield.
Vaguely, the shadow of a red ball could be seen on his forehead.
"This is the power of the red ball formed by the Illusion Demon!" When Gu Zheng saw this scene, he felt a slight heat on his shoulder, as if there was a strange resonance with it.
His heart suddenly trembled, and he knew where the spirit's strength came from. So far, the spirit had only used the power of the Illusion Demon to exhaust them.
Then where was his real body? Gu Zheng's eyes began to rapidly think, but when he recalled everything about the spirit, the most likely possibility was that he was hiding in the red ball.
Because if he could come out as he pleased, why would he need to deliberately make him trust him and use the power of the red ball to appear outside?
Thinking of this, although Gu Zheng was somewhat puzzled, he knew that he had to break through the spirit's outer layer.
At this time, the pillars of fire had already hit the red shield, and large flames continued to spread along the edge. In the blink of an eye, a huge fireball appeared in the air.
Through the gaps in the firelight, one could see that the surface of the red light was constantly churning and rippling.
Just as Gu Zheng was about to control the purple sword to stab downwards, the red light inside suddenly let out a muffled boom. The entire red light barrier began to boil violently. The flames outside were immediately extinguished by the red wave. Then, the red wave quickly rushed outside.
This included Gu Zheng's Purple Sword and the phoenix that was hovering outside. They were all engulfed by the surging red light.
The lightning on Purple's body expanded rapidly, and with a sizzling sound, the red light within a few feet evaporated. But before it could move again, the endless red light behind it rushed up again, continuing to fill the gaps. The gaps that had just been created were pushed back again.
What's more, the red light began to approach the purple sword.
On the other hand, the phoenix seemed to be charging even more ferociously. Whether it was the flames in its mouth or on its body, its blade-like feathers, or even its sharp claws, it was able to slice through a large patch of red light every time. It continued charging towards the Heroic Spirits.
However, when it was still a few dozen feet away, it was completely blocked by the red light that seemed to have substance.
Every attack could no longer tear through the red light as fiercely as before. It was like a quagmire, sinking deeper and deeper into the red light. Every movement seemed to be in slow motion.
The red wave continued to roar outwards with the Heroic Spirits as the center. Ripples continued to ripple outwards. From afar, it looked like a huge whirlpool, but there was no suction force.
Under the layers of the red waves, Purple Sword and the phoenix only struggled for a moment before they were trapped.
When Gu Zheng and Xing Cai realized that something was wrong, they had already urged their techniques to break free, but they were still gradually trapped.
"Oh no, my connection with the staff is getting weaker and weaker!" At this time, Xing Cai suddenly shouted. At the same time, her clothes began to flicker, and her aura became somewhat unstable.
Only then did Gu Zheng realize that the staff was a complete set. Without a single staff, it would be useless.
However, as soon as Xing Cai's voice fell, Gu Zheng realized that his connection with the purple sword had also begun to become obscure. When he looked up, there was already a touch of red attached to the purple sword, interfering with their connection.
The two of them increased their strength. The purple sword shone brightly, and countless electric arcs burst out from it. At the same time, the flames on the phoenix's body became even fiercer, trying to get rid of the red light.
Then, no matter how they struggled, the red light nearby trembled. However, the red light was like gangrene attached to the bone. It did not reduce at all, and instead took the opportunity to invade a larger area.
At this time, the Heroic Spirits raised a hand, and the familiar red light lit up from his fingers again. Five red lights rushed out from his fingertips and rushed towards Xing Cai below.
He knew that Gu Zheng was very strong, so he might as well attack Xing Cai first and get rid of an enemy next to him.
Gu Zheng was shocked, and he rushed towards Xing Cai. At the same time, balls of sand appeared in the air, wanting to block the Heroic Spirits.
However, the red light was too powerful. It forcibly blocked the balls of sand, and its speed did not decrease at all. It continued to rush towards Xing Cai.
"Explode!"
Xing Cai saw the red light coming and quickly retreated. At the same time, she detonated the phoenixes above her.
After Xing Cai shouted, the five phoenixes cried out in unison in the air. The flames on their bodies burned even more fiercely, especially the beads in their mouths. They became even brighter, and a berserk aura came from the phoenixes.
Boom! Boom!
Boom! Boom! Five explosions rang out, and a huge hole appeared in the sky of flames. A meteor instantly rushed out of that hole.
Faced with such a close distance, the red light around the Heroic Spirit began to waver. Even the Heroic Spirit was severely affected, and his entire body began to sway slightly.
Even the five red lights in the air trembled.
"A good chance!"
Gu Zheng's eyes lit up. He took out a pen and hid it in his palm. He threw it forward, and it quietly disappeared in front of him.
With a thought, the purple sword in the air abruptly flashed, and its entire body silently disintegrated in mid-air. A bolt of purple lightning then condensed, and it stabbed toward the heroic spirit.
Within the shaking red light, the purple lightning went against the flow, piercing through all the barriers blocking it. Taking advantage of the Heroic Spirits' momentary weakness, it went straight for the Heroic Spirits' head, leaving behind a purple mark on his back.
"Hmph!"
The Heroic Spirits coldly snorted and quickly stabilized his body. He sent a palm strike towards the purple lightning, and the nearby red light squeezed towards the purple lightning.
In the blink of an eye, the purple lightning stopped halfway. At this moment, it was still quite a distance away from the Heroic Spirits. It was not even close to the phoenixes.
Even though it was stopped, it continued to tremble violently. It wanted to break free, but in the blink of an eye, it stopped moving.
When Gu Zheng saw this, the corner of his mouth curled up. With a thought, the purple lightning flashed and exploded again.
Compared to the damage caused by the phoenixes, the explosion was much smaller. It only expanded a few feet and left behind a long purple line. Those electric arcs that were deliberately left behind only supported a small gap.
When the Heroic Spirits saw that their opponents had completely disappeared, they focused their attention on Xing Cai again. At this time, the five red lights were getting closer and closer to Xing Cai. Just as they were about to catch up to her, the black Dragon Tortoise shield that had appeared before her once again appeared in front of her. The slightly dim orb also slowly floated in front of her.
Layer after layer of treasure light appeared on his body, forming layers of protection around him.
The Heroic Spirits gently clenched his hand, and the five red lights gathered together in the air, condensing into a red pillar the size of a bowl. Wherever it passed, the void became slightly blurry. Its power was even stronger than before.
When Gu Zheng saw this scene, his expression changed slightly. He knew the power of the red light. Now, it seemed to be even stronger. With Xing Cai's current defense, he was not confident that he could block it.
However, at this moment, Gu Zheng's hidden attack had reached the outermost area of the red air wave. It was time to reveal it.
Swish!
The hidden Magistrate Brush in mid-air suddenly increased its speed from slow to the fastest. It was like a small boat facing the waves. It bravely advanced towards the red waves, breaking through the wind and waves as it quickly rushed up.
"Is it this little toy?" The Heroic Spirits glanced at the Magistrate Brush. The purple electric arcs on it made him think that it was the same attack as before. He directly stretched out his hand, and all the red waves squeezed towards the Magistrate Brush. He wanted to use the same trick to freeze it in mid-air. He did not pay much attention to it.
Swish! Swish!
At this moment, the Magistrate Brush had already reached the place where the purple sword had been. Under Gu Zheng's deliberate control, its speed was actually decreasing bit by bit, giving the Heroic Spirits an illusion that it was not a threat.
When it stepped on the mark left behind by the purple sword, the electric arcs outside suddenly exploded. The Magistrate Brush followed the path it had left behind, and its speed increased by ten times. Moreover, it did not hide its spirit light anymore. It erupted with an intense light.
"What!?"
The explosion that was so close made the Heroic Spirits feel an unprecedented sense of danger. He slightly turned his head and saw a dazzling light rushing towards him. The red light on the path was like tofu, weak and powerless. It was completely useless.
He didn't ask Xing Cai any further and slapped his palm heavily. The red light around his body quickly retracted like a whale absorbing water. In almost the blink of an eye, a crystal-like red ball appeared in front of his head, and then blocked in front of his head.
Almost as soon as the red crystal moved to that position, the Magistrate's Pen flew over and collided with it.
"Kacha"
The Heroic Spirits had just relaxed. The other party would not be able to break the condensed red crystal unless it was a Connate Spirit Treasure. However, he heard a crisp sound.
Before he could react, the red crystal in the air shattered into a ball of red mist and spread out. At the same time, a black shadow rushed out and collided with his head.
There was a soft muffled sound, like a piece of cloth falling to the ground. A ball of red mist suddenly exploded in the air and spread out in all directions like watermelon juice.
The red pillar that was about to collide with Xing Cai seemed to have lost its source of power. When it collided with the Dragon Tortoise Shield again, it turned into a wisp of red mist and was blown away.
It did not even trigger a reaction from the shield. Xing Cai, who was behind him, looked at the red mist that was about to dissipate in confusion. She did not know what was going on.
However, when she saw Gu Zheng's figure fly into the air, she saw that the Heroic Spirits' head had been blasted off.
"Young Master Gu, you actually annihilated the other party!" Xing Cai said in surprise as she withdrew the protection in front of her.
Gu Zheng found a bead in the middle of the exploding mist. With a flash of red light, all the red mist in the sky was sucked into the red bead. Soon, there was no more red mist in the sky. Even the Heroic Spirit's body turned into red mist and was sucked into the red bead, completely disappearing.
"The other party is not dead. He only appeared here because of this red bead. It's better to be careful." Gu Zheng said with a grave expression as he descended from the sky and landed beside Xing Cai. He put away the red bead in his hand.
This red bead should be the Illusory Demon Orb. Gu Zheng could not figure out what it was used for. It was only controlled by the Heroic Spirits, yet it was so powerful.
"The other party is not dead yet. Let's leave quickly. The teleportation array has lit up. We can leave now." Xing Cai was shocked as she pointed into the distance and said hurriedly.
For some reason, the originally dim teleportation array had lit up unknowingly. The ancient patterns on the ground flashed and fell, waiting to activate the teleportation array.
"None of you can leave. Leave the Illusory Demon Orb behind."
An extremely angry shout suddenly came from the sky. It was clearly the voice of the Heroic Spirits. The entire valley began to shake. The huge layer of protection outside also began to flicker rapidly, as if something was about to come out.
"Let's go!" Gu Zheng said to Xing Cai. Then, he quickly flew toward the teleportation array. He wanted to leave this place quickly before the other party appeared.
However, just as they were about to reach the teleportation array, a gust of wind suddenly rose in front of them. At the same time, a blue stream of water appeared out of thin air. A huge palm instantly appeared and slammed toward them.
"Wah!"
Before the two of them could react, they saw the situation flash before their eyes. The two of them were instantly thrown into the air. They spat out mouthfuls of blood and fell directly at the entrance of the valley.
The blue giant hand did not chase after them. Instead, it turned into a stream of water and surrounded the teleportation array.
"Grand Luo!"
Gu Zheng struggled to stand up and looked into the depths of the valley. Although he couldn't see anything, he knew that the Heroic Spirit seemed to be going all out and was trying to charge out from somewhere.
"Cough, cough. We can't charge out. The other party has sealed the teleportation array." Xing Cai wanted to stand up, but she found that she was heavily injured from the attack. Her body was in chaos. Her cultivation had been forcefully knocked down. Even her treasured orb had fallen to the ground.
If it wasn't for the clothes she was wearing at the crucial moment, that attack would have taken her life.
Even Gu Zheng was heavily injured. However, he wasn't like Xing Cai, who had practically lost her ability to fight.
Even if that attack was a weak attack from the Heroic Spirit, it wasn't something they could block.
After all, the other party was a mid-stage Grand Luo when they entered.
"The two of you can stay here. Do you know why it's called the Sacrificial Grounds? Without my permission, none of you can leave. All of you can stay here. "
At this moment, the valley was shaking more and more violently. Even some of the mountain peaks were collapsing. Large pieces of mountain rocks rolled down from above.
As the Heroic Spirit's voice fell, the stone platform that sealed Starlight suddenly lit up with white light. On the platform that was originally empty, white skeletons suddenly appeared.
Most of them had shining items next to them. Most of them were weapons and magic treasures.
Xing Cai, who had consumed the elixir, was helped up by Gu Zheng. She looked at the nameless skeletons and muttered, "So there were so many people who rushed over. But why did they all die here?"
Those skeletons were all human skeletons. Without exception, all of them had treasures on them.
It seemed that after obtaining the opportunity, they couldn't leave as they wished.
At this moment, with the injection of the white light, the skeletons slowly stood up. Even the items they carried with them were on their bodies. They slowly rushed towards them.
Although they were already dead, under the control of the Heroic Spirit, they were resurrected under such circumstances.
If it weren't for Gu Zheng's arrival, Xing Cai would have been killed.
Of course, the strength of these skeletons was not as strong as when they were alive. However, with the magic treasures and weapons in their hands, coupled with their incomparably hard bodies, the two of them couldn't deal with them now.
It was obvious that these skeletons could not kill them, but delay Gu Zheng's pace.
Boom!
There was a loud explosion in the valley. The violent atmosphere in the air became more and more obvious. It seemed that the Heroic Spirit would really rush out soon.
At this moment, one of the skeletons raised a mirror-like magic treasure in its hand. A light flickered from it, and it rushed straight towards Gu Zheng's side.
With a loud explosion, a huge crater was left in the place where Gu Zheng was standing.
As if a mechanism had been opened, more than half of the people with magic treasures activated the magic treasures in their hands. A series of powerful long-range attacks were launched from the skeletons' hands, while the others approached Gu Zheng more and more flexibly.
Gu Zheng, who was holding Xing Cai, jumped back and forth here, avoiding the attacks of the skeletons.
It was not that he didn't counterattack, but now he could only leave a wound on the skeletons' bodies. As for other abnormal statuses, the skeletons were not afraid at all. Even if they were frozen, they could only trap them for a few breaths of time.
"This won't do. You cover me. I have to find a way to hide." Gu Zheng felt that the movement was getting bigger and bigger. Although the water flow surrounding the transmission array was getting smaller and smaller, the Heroic Spirit would definitely rush out before it dissipated.
"Okay, I understand!" Although Xing Cai didn't know what to do, she directly agreed out of trust in Gu Zheng.
Blue water droplets appeared from Xing Cai's hand, and she threw them out.
As soon as each droplet fell to the ground, it immediately transformed into a water monster and rushed towards the skeletons. Although they were also very weak, they could block their attacks. Gu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.
A red bead appeared in his hand, and he instantly flicked it towards a corner, like a stone falling on the ground, without making any noise.
Immediately, Gu Zheng began to focus most of his attention on that side, and a small part of his attention was focused on dodging. He even stopped his previous harassment and relied on Xing Cai's puppets to delay them.
In just half a cup of tea's time, the valley suddenly shook violently, and a cold aura filled the air.
The Heroic Spirit had come out.
