When the skeletons that were surrounding Gu Zheng and the others sensed the ice-cold aura in the air, they all knelt on the ground, trembling. They even stopped attacking, allowing the unconscious puppets to continuously attack their bodies.
"Young Master Gu, are you done?" Xing Cai had already come down from Gu Zheng's body and was guarding him. Her voice was also trembling.
Unfortunately, Gu Zheng did not respond to her. Light kept flashing on his body as he sat on the ground. He seemed to know what was going on outside and quickly continued to prepare his spells.
Xing Cai looked around and did not know what Gu Zheng was doing. Why did he have to find a hiding spot? Could it be that he could hide himself from the eyes of a Daluo? Even if he could, this valley was so small that he would not be able to escape from the eyes of the Daluo.
However, Gu Zheng did not respond to her. Xing Cai waved her hand and layers of defense rose in front of her. It seemed that this was the only way to give her some comfort.
After doing all this, the orb in her hand flashed and turned into a staff. Light kept flashing on it as if it could represent her mood.
"Do you think you can still resist?" A cold voice sounded in the air, startling Xing Cai.
An old man in snow-white clothes suddenly appeared in front of them. His appearance was very neat. Who else could it be but a heroic spirit?
"You are a heroic spirit of the human race. Why are you doing these things? Are you worthy of everyone's respect?" Xing Cai suppressed the fear in her heart and shouted at the heroic spirit.
"What do you know? Ever since Lord Black Dragon fell, you people have been going overboard. I was careless last time. This time, I will not allow you to pass through me, even if you have to die! "The heroic spirit did not have the madness from before. Instead, he spoke very clearly.
"Where does this lead to? I am only here to take some things. It is very difficult for us to survive outside. "Xing Cai did not understand what he meant and continued to speak.
"Haha, I don't care. You have only yourselves to blame." A trace of disdain flashed in the heroic spirit's eyes.
The heroic spirit's body was not very stable. Just by speaking a few words, his body even became a little blurry. Xing Cai knew that he could not stay outside for long.
Perhaps he saw the determination in Xing Cai's eyes. The heroic spirit grabbed in front of them. As his fingers flashed, the defenses in front of Xing Cai shattered, turning into starlight and dissipating.
The difference in strength between the two was simply not on the same level.
Those seemingly powerful defenses were like paper in front of him. They were completely useless.
"Originally, I thought that I would have to wait for a while, but I didn't expect that someone would actually pass through the Magic Illusion and obtain something from the core. However, it's good that I came out early. It's also better for me to play with those who betrayed Lord Black Dragon. If you want to blame someone, blame yourselves for coming at such a bad time." The Heroic Spirit took a step forward and a giant blue palm emerged from its body. It reached out to grab Gu Zheng.
Just as Xing Cai was about to move, she was glanced at by the Heroic Spirit. Her entire body was suppressed by an inexplicable might. Not only was she unable to move, but the circulation of her magic power was also interrupted. She could only watch as the pair of blue palms slowly moved towards Gu Zheng in the sky.
At this time, Gu Zheng seemed to have pushed himself to the limit. The light on his body had reached two extremes, but he did not react to the incoming danger at all.
Right at this moment, a strange cry rang out in the air. A ball of light flew over from afar at an extremely fast speed and instantly collided with the palm.
As the three colors of blue, red, and green flashed, it actually perished together with the giant blue palm in the air.
At this time, a huge shadow appeared above Xing Cai's head. She looked up and saw that it was a powerful Jade Night Bird.
It was now floating in the air above them. Its eyes were fixed on the Heroic Spirit in front of it, and it kept chirping.
"Enough!" The Heroic Spirit listened patiently at first, but its expression became uglier and uglier. It suddenly shouted and interrupted the Jade Night Bird's chirping.
"Have you forgotten what your mission is? For an outsider, you actually betrayed us and asked me to go back. What do you know? The other party is coming. This time, I will completely seal off this path. No one is allowed to enter."
The Heroic Spirit shouted hysterically, causing the entire atmosphere to become heavy.
"And do you know how important the Magic Illusion Stone is to me? This is something that she promised to leave for me. You have no right to deal with it. This is something that she gave to me. Otherwise, why would I abandon my body and come to this cage?"
The Graduation Bird chirped twice. Suddenly, its body moved and it actually launched an attack towards the Heroic Spirit.
Its wings flapped in the air, creating a huge whirlwind. Its sharp claws scratched at the Heroic Spirit.
The Heroic Spirit did not care about the other party's attack at all. It reached out with its bare hands.
The sound of metal clashing suddenly rose when they collided. A large gust of cold wind exploded from the Jade Night Bird's body and rushed towards the Heroic Spirit.
Suddenly, the Heroic Spirit was surrounded by a thick gust of cold wind.
Xing Cai, who was standing in place, had just put up a defense, but it was broken by the slight aftershock. However, she still put up another defense because behind her was Gu Zheng, who was defenseless.
After several defenses were destroyed in a row, Xing Cai, who had just recovered a little, felt her heart begin to hurt again.
Suddenly, an arm pressed on her shoulder. Xing Cai turned around and saw that her shoulder was empty.
"Don't talk. Relax and leave with me."
All kinds of voices sounded in her ears, but Gu Zheng was still in the same place. His appearance did not change at all.
"That's just a shadow. I'm done. Hurry up. That Jade Night Bird can't withstand the other party's attack." The rapid voice sounded in her ears again.
Xing Cai hesitated, but in the end, she relaxed her body because she could not hold on anymore.
A layer of strange fluctuation quickly approached her shoulder, and Xing Cai watched with her naked eyes as her body began to slowly disappear in the air. However, the part that disappeared was replaced by another shadow.
When the whole person came in, there was another Xing Cai outside, but her eyes were very dull. It was obvious that she was a little stupid.
"Young Master Gu, this is?" Xing Cai was a little dumbfounded when she saw Gu Zheng suddenly appear in front of her.
"This is an illusion based on the valley. It just pulled us in. The outside is an illusion that I deliberately left behind. In fact, it can't fool the other party. We just need to buy some time, and the Heroic Spirit will naturally collapse." Gu Zheng quickly explained to Xing Cai.
He could also see the Heroic Spirit's situation. The longer it stayed outside, the more unstable its body would become. In the end, without them doing anything, it would naturally explode like an inflated balloon.
This thing was actually taken from the young master of the Fan Family. At that time, he erased the traces on it. After a simple sacrificial refining, he found that this thing was really good. It was a waste to leave it on Fan Yu.
Here, he could open a gap at any time to observe the outside situation.
Gu Zheng wanted to completely hide. Of course, it was impossible to completely hide from the Heroic Spirit, but it was enough to delay the other party.
A puppet bound by a black chain was taken out.
"This is!" Xing Cai looked at the sealed monster in her hand and said with some surprise.
"Everything depends on it to buy us some time." Gu Zheng said meaningfully. At the same time, the black chain on it slowly began to be pulled out.
At this time, outside, with the explosion of the Yin wind, the Jade Night Bird's body flew out.
Compared to its previous appearance, it was very miserable now. It was not in its previous heroic state at all.
The feathers on its body were covered in blood. Even one of its claws was drooping. It was obviously broken.
The Jade Night Bird's body landed on the ground and transformed for a distance, leaving behind a large amount of blood.
At this time, the Heroic Spirit also did not have the elegance from before. On his snow-white clothes, there were also a few scratches with blood.
Without reaching the Grand Heavenly Realm, no matter how strong he was, he would not be able to defeat the other party. Moreover, this place was not some newly ascended Grand Heavenly Realm.
"What a beast. Since we're going to be destroyed this time, I'll send you on your way!" The Heroic Spirit touched the blood on his chest. There was a layer of energy on it that prevented the wound from healing. This caused the Heroic Spirit, whose body was already unstable, to be injured even more.
Traces of blue mist leaked out from it.
At this time, the Jade Night Bird wanted to fly again. It flapped its wings weakly and just as it rose, it fell back down.
In less than half a cup of tea's time, it almost lost its life.
Suddenly, its body trembled. Its entire body went limp and fell down as if it had fainted.
"And the two of you, you … Hey, where are you!" The Heroic Spirit looked at Gu Zheng and the others. Just as he opened his mouth, he realized that something was wrong. Two blue spikes quickly appeared in the air and shot towards the two of them in the next second.
"Bang, bang." Two explosions sounded.
Gu Zheng and Xing Cai exploded like firecrackers, turning into spots of red light and dissipating.
"Do you think you can hide there with some ability?" The Heroic Spirit snorted coldly. At the same time, his eyes flashed with blue light. He looked around and found some traces in almost an instant.
"Bang!"
That Jade Night Bird also exploded out of thin air. It was indeed destroyed by the Heroic Spirit. When he saw Gu Zheng like that, he knew that the Jade Night Bird was also fake.
However, he did not expect them to disappear under his nose.
"I've found you. Let's see where you can run to!" The Heroic Spirit suddenly looked at a certain place. A blue light began to leak out from between his fingers.
"Are you ready?" Gu Zheng asked Xing Cai.
"Absolutely no problem, but we can only hide for a few breaths of time." Xing Cai gasped for breath and said. The sweat on her forehead dripped down like a stream.
"That's enough!" Gu Zheng nodded and kicked out the evil spirit that just woke up.
"Roar!"
Feeling the immense pain in his body, a loud roar came from all four of his mouths at the same time. At this moment, a blue light reflected in his eyes. He subconsciously stretched out his huge fist towards the other party.
"Boom!"
A large amount of blood rain fell from the sky. No matter how powerful the evil spirit was, it could not block a casual attack from the Heroic Spirit when it was unprepared.
"Can he do it? It doesn't look like he can hold on for long. "Xing Cai and the others hid in the distance and asked worriedly.
"He can't, but the master behind him definitely can!" Gu Zheng was feeding the Jade Night Bird that just came in. He immediately said when he heard that.
Beside Gu Zheng was Xiao Ye, who was chattering about something. Gu Zheng couldn't understand it anyway, so after feeding the pill to the big jade night bird, he told Xiao Ye to take care of it. Then, he peeked out through the gap again.
"Be careful. Come in at any time!"
The Heroic Spirit was also looking strangely at the Blood Devil that was emitting demonic Qi. Especially the other party's four different faces. Even though he had lived for so many years, he had never seen such a thing before.
Seeing the other party's head constantly changing, the shattered arms growing back, and the face becoming cold again, every second was very precious to him.
No matter what this monster was, it had to die in the next moment.
Silently, countless cherry-like water droplets appeared in front of the Heroic Spirit. With a light pat of his palm, the water droplets quickly rushed towards the evil spirit in front of him.
The evil spirit went berserk. It took huge steps and rushed towards the Heroic Spirit.
In his eyes, he could not tell who the other party was. There was only one person in the surroundings. He only knew that the other party was his enemy, and he had to crush them.
Poof! Poof! Poof!
A series of dull sounds rang out. The evil spirit's huge body quickly stopped halfway. It used its only remaining eye to look at the holes all over its body. The holes were only connected by skin and flesh.
"Puff!"
The evil spirit made a strange sound with half of its mouth. Although it still wanted to rush towards the other party, its body still fell to the ground.
"I don't know where this demon came from. It wants to stop me. How laughable!" The Heroic Spirit looked at the black gas rising from the evil spirit and said disdainfully. At the same time, he slowly flew towards Gu Zheng's direction.
Although the place he was going to was empty from the outside, and there was even a huge rock that fell from the mountain peak there, Gu Zheng knew that he was rushing towards them.
"How can this be? Why hasn't the other party appeared yet? " Gu Zheng was also unsure. Didn't that damned Patriarch Qi say that he was waiting for him? He gave him a chance, but he chickened out.
However, when he saw Xing Cai's worried face, he still comforted her.
"It's okay. You'll know later!"
Although he said that, his body was at the forefront, and the Magistrate's Brush in his hand was already tightly clenched.
The Heroic Spirit seemed to be deliberately letting them feel the fear of death. He was still walking towards them unhurriedly.
At that moment, the void in the valley suddenly fluctuated violently. Countless black lights appeared out of thin air, blooming with a dazzling black light.
The barrier outside the valley also shook violently. Large ripples continued to rise, as if it was being attacked again.
Such changes made the Heroic Spirit's eyes change again. He raised his head and looked around, quickly sensing the situation around him. However, he did not notice that the black gas that the evil spirit had turned into was slowly gathering.
"You're actually hiding here. Let's see where you can run to!"
With the sound of glass shattering, the barrier above the valley suddenly shattered. An extremely arrogant voice rang out in the air.
At the same time, the black gas that the evil spirit had turned into suddenly gathered into a person. He looked at the figure in front of him and waved his hand. Balls of black lightning the size of a fist floated in the air. There was no telling how many of them there were, and they rained down on the Heroic Spirit's back.
The Heroic Spirit felt that something was wrong when the other party came out. A wisp of green light circled around his body, and in the blink of an eye, it quickly expanded in the air and landed behind him in layers.
"Rumble!"
A series of explosions resounded in the air as countless black clouds rose into the sky. Dazzling black lightning bolts violently and wantonly unleashed their power, covering the entire surroundings.
Before the explosions stopped, a white figure suddenly rushed out of the black clouds and rushed directly at the black figure behind him. A ball of dense white light shrouded his fist, and he threw a punch at the black figure.
The speed was so fast that Gu Zheng and the others only saw a white figure before the two collided again.
The entire void shook violently, and the two figures quickly separated again.
"Young master Gu, is that my reinforcements you invited?" Xing Cai looked at the black figure. Although it was also a projection, its aura was similar to the Heroic Spirit's. She couldn't help feeling happy.
"Of course not. Technically, it's still my enemy. Didn't I tell you to do something? As long as it attacks the Heroic Spirit, it'll be a success. " Gu Zheng was relieved to see the Qi family's patriarch appear. It seemed that the other party had been paying attention to him all this time.
"Good, good, good. You actually set a trap for me. Gu Zheng, you'll die a horrible death!" The Qi family's patriarch looked at the remains of the evil spirit, then at the distant Heroic Spirit. He clenched his teeth and instantly understood.
"Where do you think you're going?!" The Heroic Spirit saw the black figure gradually disappear. He felt that the other party wanted to hide and wait for an opportunity to sneak attack him. How could he let that go?
His figure shot forward, and a white light streaked across the sky.
Clang!
The Qi family's patriarch extended his hand, and a pitch-black mist appeared in front of him.
If he allowed the other party to destroy his clone, then his main body would also be injured. At this critical moment, he couldn't be injured too heavily.
Before the Heroic Spirit even got close, blue ice swords appeared behind the Qi family's patriarch and shot toward him.
Whether it was in the middle of the way or not, black threads would appear out of nowhere and wrap around him.
At this time, the Heroic Spirit also charged over. For him, rather than using a magic art, it was better to use his own body. He had to end this battle quickly.
It was just a projection. After dealing with it, he would be able to deal with it in just a few breaths' time.
No wonder the other party was so fearless. It turned out that there was someone protecting them from behind.
He had been careless.
Seeing that the two of them had completely started fighting, Gu Zheng hurriedly brought them to hide in the deepest part. The place where they were hiding was also constantly shaking. Those were the aftershocks of their fight.
"It's best if they perish together," said Xing Cai.
When she heard that Gu Zheng had escaped from him, she realized why Gu Zheng had taken so long to come here. She had thought that he wouldn't come.
"It is likely that our wish is a little unrealistic." Gu Zheng's eyes were bright as he looked outside. He helplessly replied when he heard her words.
In just a short incense stick's worth of time, the Heroic Spirit's defeat could be seen. He had strength, but he didn't have a single magic treasure.
When facing Gu Zheng, there was no difference whether he had a magic treasure or not. His strength was enough to ignore everything.
But when facing an opponent of the same level, even if the other party was just a projection, he would still become weaker and weaker. He was already at a disadvantage.
