"Is it not done yet?" Gu Zheng looked at the approaching fist and said weakly.
"It's done. Leave everything to me!" Suddenly, a woman's voice sounded from Gu Zheng's body.
At the same time, a purple light bloomed from Gu Zheng's shoulder. It suddenly changed in the air and condensed into a fist made of purple mist.
However, it did not directly clash with the puppet. Instead, it made a nimble turn and went around the puppet's fist. Before the puppet could reach it, it hit the puppet's chest with extreme speed.
Accompanied by a loud clang, the puppet's huge body was actually sent flying by the small purple mist fist. It crossed a long distance and directly hit the opposite wall.
At the same time, a purple mist emerged from Gu Zheng's body again. In the blink of an eye, a beautiful woman appeared in front of Gu Zheng.
"Why are you injured so badly?" Zi Yi frowned and looked at Gu Zheng.
"The other party actually attacked me sneakily. I had no choice!" Gu Zheng stood up with difficulty. The huge amount of accumulated energy in his body began to rapidly heal his injuries.
If it were not for the other party blocking the attack with the black mist at the critical moment, he would be lying on the ground with unknown life and death. However, if he wanted to fight with her now, he would be courting death.
"Well, you rest for a while. I will deal with her!" Zi Yi glanced at the two people and then rushed towards the other party.
The puppet had stood up again. However, the indestructible body in front of its chest had caved in. From time to time, a group of black runes could be seen flashing from there.
However, although it was heavily injured, the puppet did not seem to be aware of it. It looked at Zi Yi in the middle and roared again. It directly rushed towards her.
"You're just bluffing." Even in her current state, Zi Yi didn't care about the puppet at all.
She casually grabbed and a purple long sword suddenly appeared in her hand. With a light wave, dozens of purple lightning balls were shot out from the sword.
Crackle!
When the lightning balls approached the puppet's body, they suddenly exploded into balls of purple lightning and constantly jumped on the puppet's body.
The puppet's movements instantly became sluggish, as if its entire body was paralyzed. Its movements became extremely slow.
Seeing this, Zi Yi abruptly tossed her purple sword upwards. In the next moment, it appeared above the puppet's head.
Streaks of black lightning continuously emerged from the purple body, and a destructive aura emanated from it.
When the aura was at its peak, which was also the time when the purple electric arc below was weakened, it slashed down on the head of the puppet below.
The black lightning on the long sword became even more intense, and the purple light of the long sword was covered by it. Only the whistling of the lightning could be heard in the air.
Boom!
The purple sword accurately struck the puppet's head, creating a purple vortex that was several feet wide. Countless black lightning bolts surged out from the vortex, submerging the puppet's body in the blink of an eye.
At the same time, the vortex began to rotate slowly, and countless black lightning continued to roar, bombarding the inside of the vortex with destructive attacks.
Gu Zheng stood at the back, looking at the berserk attacks with a frown. These attacks were very strong. If it was him, even if he used all his strength, he would be instantly blown to pieces.
But the other party was a puppet, and had great resistance to these magical and physical attacks. Gu Zheng didn't think that these attacks could destroy the puppet.
Xing Cai was also dumbfounded, and her body slightly trembled. The aura in the air made her tremble.
At this time, Lan Yu also slowly woke up. She struggled to get close to the water curtain behind her. With a glance, she saw the astonishing might, and her eyes flashed with astonishment. When did such a powerful woman appear here?
Just when Lan Yu suspected that the puppet had already been destroyed by the attacks, a roar suddenly rose from the purple light.
A huge hand steaming with black Qi suddenly reached up from below, and countless black Qi runes jumped inside. No matter if it was the roaming electric arc or the berserk black lightning, once they approached, they were all repelled. They couldn't get close at all.
They could only watch as the huge hand reached for the purple sword above their head, grabbed the sword's tip, and then suddenly pulled back.
"Boom!" With a loud sound, the purple sword was instantly crushed into a ball of purple light by the other party.
The other party suddenly waved a circle around, and the berserk vortex was torn apart by the other party, flying in all directions.
Gu Zheng's face changed, and he suddenly rushed towards Xing Cai. Five different colored shields intersected in the air, and finally formed a five-colored shield, firmly blocking the three of them.
Just when Xing Cai was surprised by Gu Zheng's formation, Zi Yi's mouth bulged, and then she spat out a half purple and half black pigeon egg-sized ball in front of her.
Looking at the puppet that came out of the vortex, there were still traces of purple energy pulsing on its body. Its entire body was pitch-black, and traces of black Qi were constantly leaking out of its black body. Its movements were also slow, and it seemed to have suffered heavy injuries.
But even so, it was still a huge deterrent. For Gu Zheng and the others, just a graze would cause them to be injured, and if they were not careful, they would die.
At this moment, Zi Yi's mind moved, and the clam ball in front of her instantly rushed to the highest point. Purple Qi suddenly rushed out from its body, and in a few blinks of an eye, the entire hall was covered by purple clouds.
"Ka ka"
After a sudden clap of thunder in the air, countless purple lightning bolts rushed down from the purple clouds like a storm, filling the entire hall in an instant.
Not only that, but a black dragon formed by black lightning also descended from above, swaying as it rushed towards the puppet.
Aside from Gu Zheng's side, the other places were all covered by purple lightning, as if they were in a sea of purple lightning, with purple lightning constantly striking down.
However, the most powerful one was the one on top of the puppet's head. It was almost impossible to see the puppet's figure clearly.
"Too strong!" Lan Yu muttered on the side.
Not only him, but even Xing Cai looked in the distance in shock, and her mouth couldn't close because of shock.
On the other side, Zi Yi was in the sea of lightning, casually strolling towards the puppet.
When she got close, she suddenly stretched out her hand towards the puppet that was suppressed to the ground.
Following an angry roar, the thunderstorm in the sky suddenly stopped.
Zi Yi held a pitch-black crystal in her hand, and a tyrannical fluctuation was still emitting from it, making people's hearts jump.
However, in the next moment, Zi Yi clenched her hand, and the black crystal in her hand suddenly shattered. Countless black Qi flowed out from it, and chaotically spread throughout the entire room.
However, the purple clouds above also released purple mist, which began to eliminate the remaining energy. After the time it took for an incense stick to burn, the black mist that filled the sky finally dissipated completely. The purple mist in the sky also rolled and shrank, and finally returned to the two-colored clam pearl.
Zi Yi opened her mouth slightly, and the clam ball turned into a ray of light and rushed in.
Only a puppet that couldn't move was left in place.
At this moment, Gu Zheng put away the barrier in front of him, and walked in front of Zi Yi.
"It's been hard on you."
Zi Yi glanced at Xing Cai and said slowly, "It's okay, but this time I've used up almost all of my power. I'm afraid I can't help you anymore unless you find the corpse of that Ruixue woman. Only then will you have power." Zi Yi glanced at Xing Cai and said slowly.
"Yes, I'll be careful from now on. Right now, we're close to the location of the final battle. As long as we pass through the void in front of us, we'll be able to reach that place." Gu Zheng reached out his hand, and the broken white tower came to his hand. However, it was completely broken, and could no longer be used, so Gu Zheng threw it out.
"Yes, I'll still say the same thing. I hope you don't save Ruixue. I keep feeling that there's something wrong with her. Don't put yourself in danger."
"I know. I'll still say the same thing. If I don't save her, you'll die. I can't just watch you die." Gu Zheng's eyes were calm as he spoke.
Although only her soul would die, and according to normal circumstances, the body left behind by Zi Yi could be refined into a doppelganger, or even a pet. However, Gu Zheng wasn't that kind of person. He wouldn't do something so unscrupulous.
Zi Yi didn't answer. Instead, she looked at him deeply. Then, she turned into a purple light and perched on Gu Zheng's shoulder.
As the black crystal completely returned, the sturdy water curtain around them also disappeared without a trace. Only this small seal in front of them was left on top of it.
"Hurry up and heal your wounds. After we go in, there's still that damned old Daoist." Gu Zheng said to Xing Cai with a trace of anger in his eyes.
If he hadn't come out to cause trouble, he wouldn't have to face that damned puppet. Not only did he have to use Zi Yi, his biggest trump card, but the puppet had also died. Originally, he wanted to leave it behind to block the enemy for a while.
Now, everything was gone, and he was injured.
"Yes!"
The two of them could see that Gu Zheng wasn't in a good mood, so they didn't say anything. They each took out healing pills and began to recuperate.
In the blink of an eye, three days passed.
In order to speed up his recovery, Gu Zheng even swallowed a Golden Lotus Seed. In the blink of an eye, there was only one left.
He had a feeling that perhaps this thing wouldn't last until the end.
On this day, they finally gathered in front of the entrance. They couldn't delay any longer. Who knew when sect master Blood and the others would catch up?
Xing Cai had already returned to normal. As for Lan Yu, they could only move. They basically didn't have any combat power.
If they wanted to leave, they would have to completely destroy the transportation formation here. They wouldn't be able to catch up even if they wanted to.
If it weren't for the fact that the Black Dragon Cave Mansion would push everyone out when it closed, they would have been trapped here.
The small restriction in front of them naturally didn't have any difficulty. In the blink of an eye, it was broken by Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng took the lead. The three of them carefully walked forward.
After entering, the path became narrower and narrower. In just half a cup of tea's time, there was only a path wide enough for two people.
Whoosh whoosh.
When they got a bit closer, they could hear a gust of wind in the distance, accompanied by the sound of burning flames.
For this reason, Gu Zheng's speed was even slower. They had long since concealed their aura, afraid of alerting the other party.
After another incense stick's worth of time, Gu Zheng finally walked out of the narrow passageway.
At this moment, there was no roof above them. The entire sky seemed to be filled with a resplendent starry sky. Specks of starlight constantly twinkled above. It was truly intoxicating.
The space above was the same size as the space below. It was at least the size of five soccer fields.
Currently, there was a dense fog rising from the center. In the sky, it actually condensed into a seven-colored cloud.
And the main culprit was naturally the huge pill furnace in the center.
A ball of earth fire was drawn out. It was currently burning fiercely in the center. The huge flame was constantly swallowing and spitting out waves of heat from below. The flame was so strong that it actually let out a loud sound as it circulated. This was the whistling sound Gu Zheng had heard before.
The pill furnace above the flame was at least three feet tall. It was a golden pill furnace with two handles and three legs. It was currently floating above the flame.
On the ground, there was a star array that occupied a very large area. It was supplemented by the Five Elements Flame Array. With the fire as the main element, the other auxiliary elements were all concentrated on the earth fire in the center. It greatly increased the temperature and stability of the earth fire.
On the alchemy cauldron, golden runes constantly appeared and circled around the alchemy cauldron. After absorbing enough spiritual energy from the outside, the runes turned around and entered the cauldron. Not only did they replenish the spiritual energy of the cauldron, but they also sealed the spiritual energy of the herbs inside.
The old Daoist that Gu Zheng had seen before was pinching with one hand, controlling the earth fire to constantly sway. It seemed like he was heating up different places.
His eyes were flashing with fanaticism. He was completely immersed in it. He didn't seem to notice Gu Zheng's arrival. Gu Zheng could only see him constantly muttering to himself.
"Almost done. Almost done. I will definitely be able to cultivate it."
The seven-colored clouds in the sky suddenly churned. Rays of seven-colored light actually fell from above and merged into the pill furnace below.
Every time it merged, the pill runes on the pill furnace would brighten by a bit.
Seeing this, the old Daoist became even more excited. He began to shout wildly in the air.
"Almost done, almost done. I will make everyone focus on me. Hurry, hurry!"
Although he said that, his movements were even more careful.
"Young Master Gu? What should we do? "Xing Cai looked at the other party and asked.
"What should we do? Of course we're going to do it. If we don't vent this anger, how can we live up to the fact that we almost died just now? "Gu Zheng pulled out his weapon and sneered.
This was just a reason. Even if the previous matter hadn't happened, he would still have interrupted the other party.
The location where the Scarlet Soul Pill was hidden was actually under the earth fire. It was only by relying on the special properties of the earth fire that it could be preserved for so many years.
If he had to wait for the other party to complete it, then he would have to wait. Although the pill furnace was about to be completed, it wouldn't be a problem to delay it for another month. Gu Zheng knew the situation inside.
Besides, after what happened just now, it would be strange if Gu Zheng still allowed the other party to complete it. He wasn't a saint or a gentleman. If there was enmity, he would definitely take revenge. Moreover, it was an enmity of life and death.
"Let's end this quickly. All of you, back off!"
Gu Zheng looked at the other party's concentrated appearance and suddenly waved the sword in his hand. A sharp sword qi appeared in the air. However, it didn't sneak attack the old man. Instead, it rushed towards the pill furnace.
You're not blocking my path. You're here to refine the pill. I'm going to destroy this pill furnace in front of you.
A sharp sound suddenly rang out in the air, causing the Daoist to wake up from his frenzy.
"Don't!"
The Daoist turned around and saw the golden light rushing towards the cauldron. A fiery red crystal replaced his position, and he stood in front of the cauldron. He rolled up his sleeves, and a three-foot-long white jade ruler appeared in his hand.
He suddenly patted it, and the jade ruler struck the sword qi.
"Pa!" A crisp sound was heard.
The sword qi instantly exploded upon contact, turning into countless tiny golden sparks that scattered in the air.
"It's you? You didn't die! "Only now did the Daoist have the time to look at Gu Zheng and the others. He couldn't help but exclaim in shock.
"Thanks to you, we didn't die. Now it's your turn." Gu Zheng sneered and instantly charged forward.
While he was still in the air, the golden light on his sword exploded. In the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of Sword Qi were released. It was like a huge golden waterfall in the air, slanting towards the old man's current position.
However, if one looked carefully, they would discover that most of the power was actually aimed at the pill furnace behind him.
Gu Zheng didn't care what kind of heaven-defying pill the other party was refining. Even if it was the Heaven Mending Pill, he would destroy it.
How could the old man not see through Gu Zheng's intention? He also knew that there was no way to negotiate now. First, he released a burst of energy from his hand, hitting the red crystal in the distance.
The crystal disappeared in the next moment, but the Earth Fire under the pill furnace didn't decrease in the slightest, as if it was still under his control.
On the other side, the jade ruler in the old man's hand shone brightly again. A sparkling white jade light rose from it, forming a huge barrier that protected the old man and the pill furnace.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Sword shadows bombarded the barrier one after another, and golden light scattered, almost covering the old man's body. However, the barrier continued to ripple and seemed to be on the verge of breaking, but it successfully held on.
However, before the sword shadows dissipated, a figure came from behind the Daoist like a ghost. It was Gu Zheng, holding a long sword, silently stabbing towards the back of the Daoist.
The Daoist didn't make any other moves. The Earth Fire under the pill furnace suddenly surged, and in the fierce flames, a fire dragon baring its fangs and brandishing its claws rushed out from below, pouncing towards Gu Zheng from the side.
A scorching heat emitted from the fire dragon.
Gu Zheng frowned, and the long sword that was originally stabbing towards the Daoist was retracted. He raised the long sword in his hand, and then suddenly slashed downwards.
A huge shadow of Jin Xian appeared in the air, condensing a dazzling golden light, and fiercely slashed downwards.
The fire dragon was completely fearless. The flames on its body surged, and at the same time, it spat out a pillar of fire from its mouth, rushing towards the golden sword.
Unfortunately, in the face of Gu Zheng's fierce attack, the imposing fire pillar was directly cut down from the middle by the golden sword, and along with the fire dragon's head, it was also cut into two.
At the same time, the remaining momentum didn't decrease as it rushed towards the pill furnace below.
