Clang!
A loud sound rang out in the hall. The huge reverberation caused everyone to frown slightly and cover their ears.
The ant and the puppet had already exchanged blows. The huge mountain-splitting axe smashed heavily on the puppet's hard outer shell.
At the same time, the two pairs of antennae in front of the ant swayed rapidly in the air. In the next moment, before the puppet could pull out its weapon, it flew back like a meteor.
The middle of the puppet's chest caved in. If it were a normal person, their internal organs would have been smashed to pieces. However, for a puppet, it was only a minor injury that didn't affect its fighting strength at all.
However, at this moment, the dozen or so centipedes were already rushing over with their thin legs. Soft whispers were constantly coming out from their mouths, causing one's heart to unconsciously feel numb.
"You want to compete with me in terms of numbers? Then you'll be disappointed. " As Lan Yu spoke, a dozen or so rays of light flashed. A dozen or so puppets of different sizes appeared in the open space. There were humanoid figures draped in golden armor and beasts with bodies as hard as iron. Their auras didn't lose out to the other party in the slightest.
As soon as they appeared, they rushed towards the other party. The puppets that were sent flying also flew back and blocked the ant in front of it again.
Hiss!
The two immediately collided. Although the puppets here were invulnerable and didn't feel any pain, the other party's pets were raised by some unknown method. They weren't at a disadvantage at all when clashing with the puppets.
Every time those pets were attacked, a black light would flash around their bodies, greatly reducing the damage they received.
"Let's go too!" At this moment, Xing Cai said to Gu Zheng from the side.
"Wait a moment. Something's not right." With Gu Zheng's many years of experience, he felt that something was wrong.
If he encountered many enemies, even if he was stronger than them and wasn't afraid of them, he would still become serious and wouldn't be careless. However, the other party didn't seem to be worried at all.
Either that, or he was sure they would be defeated and didn't care about them at all. However, unless he was a Grand Luo, how could he be so confident?
Unless the one in front of him wasn't the real body.
Gu Zheng's eyes instantly passed through the battlefield and focused on the distant Lan Yue.
After Lan Yue felt Gu Zheng's gaze, he also looked over and smiled at Gu Zheng. Then, his entire body turned into a cloud of black smoke, wrapped around a small red bead, and quickly flew back.
At the same time, his pets had to retreat even though they were injured. They all ran towards the surroundings. Along the way, a layer of ripples rose, and all but one of them were killed.
"What's going on!" Lan Yu couldn't help but ask in shock when she saw her opponent disappear..
"Originally, I thought that old man would come, but I didn't expect that it would be the three of you. So what? I'll bury you in my Black Prison." Lan Yue's voice suddenly rang out in the air.
At the same time, wisps of black fog continued to rise from the sky and wander around the entire hall.
. "That old man lied to us!" Lan Yu retreated to Gu Zheng's side. She looked around and said to Gu Zheng.
"Strictly speaking, he didn't lie to us. Everything is true. It's just that we overlooked one point. That old man is seriously injured, yet he still made this woman so afraid. Even when she was healing, she still had to set up a formation to protect herself. That old man isn't simple, and I'm afraid that when we came in, he already discovered us. All of this is just to stall for time so that we can come in obediently. After all, he also needs this blue bead on me." Gu Zheng looked around at the dusky surroundings and said slowly.
Even though he had been very careful, he still hadn't discovered any traces. By the time the other side made a move, they were already trapped inside.
"You want to stop us with a mere formation? How laughable." Gu Zheng said boldly. No matter how strong the pressure this formation gave him, he didn't care.
"Young Master is powerful, but I'll test it first." When Lan Yu heard Gu Zheng's words, she also felt the pressure from before disappear. How could the three of them fail?
Lan Yu's hands formed complicated hand seals. With every breath, a white dot of light appeared in the air.
Then, the white dot charged into a pattern on his body. A ferocious beast puppet struggled out of his clothes.
These puppets were clearly much stronger than the ones below. Soon, the patterns on his clothes all disappeared. Close to fifty birds and beasts soared in the air.
When a dozen puppets appeared in the air, the black fog in the air became even thicker. As it roiled, it condensed into balls of black light that fell down.
Without needing Lan Yu's command, the puppets rushed up on their own. They released different types of light in the air, colliding with the black fog. Every time they collided, at least one of the black lights would be scattered, turning into a ball of black gas in the air.
As for the black lights that fell into the net, the puppets used their bodies to block them. Occasionally, one or two black lights would fall, but Xing Cai would shatter them with a wave of her hand.
As for Gu Zheng, he focused on sensing the formation's structure. His eyes constantly scanned the surroundings, trying to find the enemy's core and defeat it in one fell swoop.
As more and more puppets appeared, the black lights above them could no longer fall.
"Is that all you've got? When we get out, we'll show you what's good for you. " After Lan Yu finished casting, he was panting slightly. This was practically all of his high-end fighting strength. After summoning all of them, he felt his body go weak, but he didn't admit defeat.
However, such a large puppet army was definitely eye-catching. In any case, Xing Cai estimated that she wouldn't be able to defeat the enemy. In fact, she might even be drowned by half of the enemy's puppets.
Even against so many of the same level, it was still a headache. Not only were these puppets forged from precious materials, but they also used a secret technique on Lan Yu's necklace. It could be said that every single one of them was his doppelganger. It was no wonder he was so arrogant.
However, Gu Zheng felt that the enemy was too weak. Unless the enemy brought out a puppet with exceptional fighting strength, they wouldn't even be able to defeat Man Tian. It had to be known that every single one of his puppets was no weaker than Jin Xian at his peak. They walked the path of elites.
"Is that so? The show has only just begun. " Lan Yue's voice drifted through the air. As soon as his voice fell, the black fog above them violently roiled. Countless ghostly black fog swarmed down.
"Insignificant tricks!" Lan Yu coldly snorted. Just as he was about to take action, a cold aura suddenly appeared in the air, causing his body to tremble.
At the same time, a feeling of powerlessness and despair appeared in his heart. His limbs went soft and a trace of despair appeared in his heart. It was as if he couldn't resist the black shadows above and could only wait for death.
"How could such a small trick be worthy of my attention?" At this moment, Gu Zheng suddenly shouted. A ball of white flames exploded from his body, forming a dazzling ring of light that rapidly spread outwards.
"Zi zi"
As the ring of light swept outwards, wisps of black fog continuously rose out of thin air. As for Xing Cai and Lan Yu, who were in this state, when the ring of light swept past their bodies, they instantly recovered their fighting spirit. It was as if everything that had happened just now was just an illusion.
Lan Yu returned to normal. The tottering puppets in the air also returned to normal. They began to scatter and charge in all directions. There were even one or two puppets that seemed relatively stronger that attempted to charge upwards. They wanted to directly break through this layer of formation and kill their way out.
However, they were entangled by the dense black shadows above. In just a few breaths of time, they turned into streaks of light and returned to Lan Yu's clothes. The patterns on them were somewhat indistinct. It was clear that they couldn't be used without repair.
Seeing this, Lan Yu continued to command the puppets to intercept the black shadows in the air. They no longer attempted to charge out, but there were still many that managed to charge through the gaps.
On this side, Xing Cai had already made her move. The orb floating above her shoulder suddenly lit up blue. Layer after layer of mist diffused from it, enveloping their surroundings in the blink of an eye.
The strange thing was that the mist seemed to be avoiding them on purpose. Everyone kept a distance from the mist, including the puppets below.
As for those black shadows, when they entered the mist, it was as if they had entered a huge quagmire. The mist around them began to faintly brighten. An omnipresent tearing force appeared around the black shadows, making it difficult for them to move an inch. They neared them at an extremely slow speed, as if they were moving in slow motion.
It was only a few dozen meters, but it seemed like it would take hundreds of years to cover it.
On this side, Xing Cai condensed a fingernail-sized ball of water in her hand. Inside, traces of light could be seen. A trace of extremely powerful lightning was compressed inside. A berserk aura was constantly emitted from the small ball.
Xing Cai glanced at Gu Zheng. She flicked her finger, and the small ball of water instantly entered the mist in front of them.
"Crack!"
Without a sound, the ball of water was directly broken.
The lightning inside spread towards the mist at an extremely fast speed. Accompanied by the sizzling sound of electric currents, countless sparks appeared in the air. Those black shadows that entered here all turned into clouds of black mist and dissipated.
In the blink of an eye, the surroundings were completely empty. Even the black shadows that had entered all turned into black mist in an instant.
In the next moment, with a heavy and angry snort, all of the black shadows disappeared. Then, a rustling sound entered everyone's ears. Following that, red dots rose up in the darkness.
"What is that!" Xing Cai suddenly saw rows of black shadows rushing towards them. She couldn't help but shout, tearing away the mist in front of her.
"It's just some spiders. Look at how powerful my puppets are." The other party walked over from the darkness. They discovered that they were pitch-black spiders. They were at least ten meters long, and the stiff hair on their bodies were like arrows. They stared at them with scarlet eyes, as if they were prey.
However, there seemed to be a lot of them. They were surrounded by these spiders. In detail, there were at least several hundred of them. It was truly frightening.
Lan Yu's thoughts moved. The puppets on the ground began to attack the spiders in front of them.
A dozen or so puppets of different sizes charged forward together. However, just as they reached the spiders, something unexpected happened.
The dozens of spiders at the front opened their sinister mouths. In an instant, they spat out a mouthful of black water. It drew a beautiful arc in the air, directly landing on Lan Yu's puppets.
They were so fast that Lan Yu couldn't react in time.
"Crap, I've lost contact with the puppets." Lan Yu's expression changed. A white light flashed in his hand, while the puppets remained motionless.
Looking carefully, An Tuan's black water had already completely covered the puppets' bodies. They had completely lost contact.
Two kites descended from the sky, trying to grab the two spiders with their sharp claws.
However, as soon as they descended to a certain height, several spiders below swelled their bellies. Immediately, several pitch-black giant webs flew up from below. The two kites were caught off guard and were caught in the webs.
With a flash of black light, the two kites were instantly wrapped up. They stopped moving within the black webs. At the same time, Lan Yu had lost contact with them. This made Lan Yu's puppets, who were about to go forward, stop.
"Ka ka"
At this moment, the spiders were getting closer and closer to them. The hairs on their bodies moved slightly. Strands of black qi wrapped around them, all of them pointing at their bodies.
The yin chill caused the air to suddenly turn cold. In the next moment, with a whistling sound, a sky full of black spears flew into the air. With a sharp whistling sound, they formed a black cloud around them and shot towards them.
Gu Zheng flipped his hand and threw a silver bell above his head. It emitted an intense silver light and quickly shook on its own.
"Ding ding"
Following the ringing of the bell, rings of silver sound waves spread out in all directions. Even the surrounding darkness was pushed away, faintly revealing the scenery outside.
Those spears instantly stopped in the air and then fell down. Those spiders were swept by the sound waves and were thrown off their feet, as if they were drunk. They were in chaos.
On the other side, Lan Yu saw this and knew that there was no time to lose. She immediately had her puppets in the sky bring back the puppets she couldn't contact.
"Damn, I'm going to use my ultimate move! Ugh … "
Before she could finish her sentence, she let out a pained groan. Then, the surrounding spiders began to slowly disintegrate, turning into strands of black mist and dissipating.
The surrounding black mist also dissipated, gradually revealing the scenery outside. At this moment, sounds of fighting could be heard from the innermost area. Gu Zheng and Lan Yu looked at each other in dismay.
"Let's go inside and see who's helping us." Gu Zheng put away the bell and faced the two of them.
That voice came from the innermost area. They didn't know who it was, but Gu Zheng had a faint guess.
After the black fog had completely dissipated, the surroundings were empty. Even the ant's pet was nowhere to be seen. The three of them quickly walked towards the inside.
Not long after, they arrived at the last open door. Just as they stepped through the door, they saw Yu Chong's figure stabbing a sword into Lan Yue's abdomen.
On the side, Yu Zi's palm landed on Lan Yue's shoulder.
Lan Yue's figure instantly crashed into the wall and fell down.
At this moment, her aura was extremely low. Clearly, she was heavily injured. Even if she wanted to get up, she did not have the strength to do so. She could only watch as a golden sword, the size of a finger, flashed through the air and instantly entered her body.
Lan Yue's last bit of aura disappeared.
However, he didn't die. Instead, his cultivation was sealed.
"Finally caught you." Although Yu Chong also saw Gu Zheng, he still rushed over and pressed on her body several times, temporarily stopping her from bleeding to death.
"Wuuuu!"
When Yu Zi saw this, she didn't care about her injuries. Instead, she fell to the ground and burst into tears.
That heart-wrenching cry was filled with endless grievances. It was as if he wanted to vent all of it this time. It was truly heart-wrenching. Even Xing Cai's eyes were filled with tears.
Those were tears from the bottom of her heart. They couldn't be faked.
When Yu Chong saw this, he gave Gu Zheng a migrating expression. He walked over to Yu Zi and squatted on the ground, seemingly comforting her.
However, he could still see the redness in the depths of his eyes.
This was the last room in the hall, and in the innermost corner, there was an activated teleportation array standing there.
As for the other places, the corpses of spirit pets filled half the room. They had clearly all been killed by Yu Chong and his granddaughter.
It was truly unimaginable that so many spirit beasts had died in such a short time. Many of them were no weaker than Xing Cai.
The three of them didn't say anything. They just calmly watched.
After a while, Yu Chong comforted Yu Zi and calmed her down. Only then did he walk over to them.
"I know you have a lot of questions, but I can only say sorry." Yu Yu rushed over and prostrated himself on the ground, facing Gu Zheng and the other two.
"How could that be? Speaking of which, it was you who saved us. Otherwise, we would still be trapped in there." Xing Cai hastily walked over.
"I still have to thank miss Xing. Otherwise, I wouldn't have recovered so quickly with your medicinal pills. I also wouldn't have been able to subdue them at such a small price," said Yu Chong gratefully.
"What's going on? I don't understand. "Compared to the understanding in Gu Zheng's eyes, Lan Yu didn't understand at all.
"This is the red bead you wanted. I guarantee I won't take anything from here." Yu Chong respectfully handed it over to Gu Zheng.
Seeing this, Gu Zheng's eyes softened a bit. Although Yu Chong had used him, he hadn't actually caused any harm.
When Yu Chong saw him, he had already thought of what to do next. Even giving him that bead was premeditated. He wanted to make Yu Chong mistakenly think he had already dealt with Yu Chong.
Then, while Yu Chong was fighting Yu Chong, Yu Chong was distracted to directly launch a sneak attack.
Lan Yue clearly didn't expect that even though he had resisted, he had lost the initiative. In addition, he had been completely suppressed by Yu Chong. He hadn't been able to find an opportunity, and instead, his spirit beasts had been killed.
There was a faint smell of medicine in the air. Yu Chong definitely had other methods.
However, Yu Chong had chased Lan Yue for so long, and they had fought more than once. It wasn't surprising that he had methods to deal with Yu Chong's spirit beasts.
At the same time, Yu Chong also knew that Lan Yue was confident because he could leave at any time. He wasn't afraid of them at all.
Unfortunately, he was one step behind and was still captured.
