"Young Master Gu, I think I saw my father. He's looking at me …"
Xing Cai's voice hadn't even finished when her eyes fell into a daze, and her entire body went limp without a trace of strength.
"How can this be?"
Gu Zheng looked up and saw that the embroidery in the hands of the banshees in the four corners of the training hall had completely disappeared. Even half of the embroidery had dissipated, turning into clouds of red mist that drifted down.
It had blended into the surroundings without anyone noticing.
The aura increased the strength of the ghosts, and a faint barrier flashed beside the talisman guards, isolating them. Gu Zheng had been observing Elder Gu and the others. Plus, the flames kept exploding in front of him, so he had overlooked it.
Gu Zheng carefully sensed the aura in the air. Waves of hallucinatory aura entered his mind, and his vision blurred. It was as if someone was calling him from afar. However, in the next moment, a wave of aura rushed into his head, and his mind became cool. The hallucinations were instantly shattered, and his consciousness became clear again.
These things were supplements to the ghosts, but to them, they were strong illusions. In addition, Xing Cai and Gu Zheng had different constitutions, so they were the first to be affected.
At this moment, the dazed Xing Cai's expression suddenly turned ferocious, and a hint of madness appeared in her eyes. She stood up and left Gu Zheng's side, looking at him with hatred.
"You dare to kill my father? I must be blind. I'll kill you even if I have to risk my life."
Xing Cai looked at Gu Zheng with murderous intent. A blue light flashed in her hand, and a translucent ice sword appeared in her hand. She immediately stabbed it toward Gu Zheng's chest.
"Oh no!"
As Xing Cai moved, Gu Zheng's expression changed, and he sighed inwardly.
As Xing Cai's aura exploded, her disguise also lost its effect. Immediately, the ghosts nearby looked at her. If it weren't for the fact that almost every ghost had an opponent, they would have already pounced on her.
"You guys are?" A surprised voice came from the sky.
"Lord Gu, why don't we talk later? I was brought here by Duan Chen. Can we go in first?" Gu Zheng dodged to the side and looked up after dodging Xing Cai's attack.
"No problem, but you have to rush over on your own." Elder Gu frowned, but he didn't refuse and continued to fight the Ghost General in front of him.
Gu Zheng heaved a sigh of relief. Originally, it was the best time to sneak in, but in the end, this mess happened.
Xing Cai's attacks didn't stop. After seeing Gu Zheng dodge, the anger on her face deepened. She gathered the ice sword in her hand in front of her and spat out a stream of cold air, which landed on the ice sword. A white crack appeared on the inside of the ice sword and quickly extended.
Xing Cai's figure moved, dodging the sneak attack of a ghost behind her. She turned into a phantom from the side and hacked down at Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng had just blasted away a blind wild ghost when he felt a gust of cold wind behind him.
Gu Zheng had just turned his head when he saw a blue light hacking down from the sky.
This time, Xing Cai didn't show any mercy. If Gu Zheng dared to ignore it, he would probably be heavily injured. At this moment, in the eyes of the bewitched Xing Cai, Gu Zheng was the person who killed her father.
Just as the ice sword fell from the sky, a wave of cold air fell from the sky and pierced into Gu Zheng's head like countless ice needles.
Gu Zheng frowned and a white flame rose from his body, instantly dispersing the cold air.
However, Gu Zheng was still surprised. Xing Cai's strength seemed to have increased greatly in this state.
But even so, the flames in Gu Zheng's hand didn't disappear. He directly grabbed and wanted to grab the opponent's weapon with his bare hands.
When Xing Cai saw this, the strength in her hand increased, wanting to take advantage of the situation to break Gu Zheng's hand and arm.
"Clang!"
Under Xing Cai's incredulous gaze, Gu Zheng actually blocked the ice sword's fall with his bare hands. The frost on the ice sword didn't even have time to condense before it was dispersed by the white flame.
Countless water vapor rose from the ice sword. Xing Cai felt the incomparable distance between them. When she saw Gu Zheng's other hand grabbing at her, she angrily shouted and her whole body suddenly bloomed with a blue light.
"Don't even think about killing me!"
Gu Zheng's hand suddenly loosened and he found that the opponent's figure was beginning to blur. Even the weapon in her hand turned into a puddle of water and disappeared in front of Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng was suddenly startled. He really didn't notice how the opponent had suddenly disappeared. It seemed that he had completely lost track of her.
Just as he was in a daze, a wild ghost suddenly attacked from the side. That kind of thirst for flesh and blood had already suppressed the desire in his mind as he pounced at Gu Zheng.
It wasn't just him, there were five or six other ghosts that came from the side.
Gu Zheng looked around and didn't see any trace of Xing Cai. This made him a little anxious. He couldn't abandon her and go in first.
Thinking that she was in a trance and couldn't have left this place. After all, this enemy of his "father's" was still here. She must be hiding in the surroundings.
If she didn't succeed in one attack, she would definitely be looking for an opportunity.
Gu Zheng looked at the ghosts that were about to pounce at him and his heart was moved. He had a good idea to lure the other party out. He immediately went to meet them.
This wild ghost was surrounded by two ghost flames. It was just a late stage Jin Xian, so Gu Zheng naturally didn't put it in his eyes. On the side, there was a peak stage Jin Xian wild ghost, a peak stage Jin Xian white bone, and two rotten corpses that emitted a rotten smell. Although their appearance wasn't good, they still had the strength of a mid stage Jin Xian.
Facing the other party's sharp claws that were charging at his chest, Gu Zheng's finger moved slightly. Five rays of sword qi came out from his fingertips and slashed at the other party's wrist without any hesitation.
"Bzzt bzzt"
Two soft sounds of electric current rang out. The two wrists of the wild ghost that charged at him were uniformly cut off by Gu Zheng. Then, he kicked at the other party's chest.
It wasn't that Gu Zheng was so confident. He already knew the characters of these ghosts like the back of his hand. Not to mention blocking, they didn't even know how to use a slightly more complicated attack. They only relied on their instincts to act, which was extremely stupid.
Facing Gu Zheng, as long as the wild ghost attacked Gu Zheng, any attack would be able to hit Gu Zheng. Unfortunately, he only stretched out his broken arms, wanting to use his sharp claws to tear Gu Zheng apart. However, when he stretched out his arms, he discovered that his arms had already been cut off and turned into a cloud of gray mist.
In the next moment, his body was sent flying by Gu Zheng's kick.
However, the other ghosts also circled around from the side at the same time. They surrounded Gu Zheng from three directions.
Compared to before, this wild ghost didn't use its sharp claws to cut at Gu Zheng. The ghost fire beside it suddenly lit up, the green flames on it surged and then spun in the air, forming a spinning ring of fire. It attacked Gu Zheng's eyes first.
The three rings of fire formed by the ghostly flames brought with them Yin energy as they flew towards Gu Zheng's head. He followed behind the rings of fire, waiting for Gu Zheng to reveal an opening.
Not only did it move, the other ghosts around it also attacked together.
The two bone swords in White Bones' hands were half-bent and stabbed at Gu Zheng's thigh.
The rotten corpse opened its rotten mouth and a brown tongue with yellow pustules on it shot out.
The other ghosts that were slower could only be blocked outside, unable to attack.
"Boom!"
A brilliant golden light rose up from the encirclement, following which a massive explosion sounded out as a massive shockwave exploded out. The surrounding Ghosts seemed to have suffered a heavy blow and were sent flying outwards, smashing into countless Ghosts and puppets.
Such a huge commotion attracted the attention of those above. However, the human and ghost only subconsciously glanced at each other before fighting again. If they were distracted in this kind of situation, the consequences would be serious.
At this moment, Gu Zheng's face was deathly pale. There was a small bloody hole in his shoulder, and there was a sharp bone stuck inside. The spirit force protecting his body had also dimmed. It looked like he was injured.
"Accept your death!"
Just at this moment, a blue light flashed in the air and four identical Xing Cai appeared around Gu Zheng. They surrounded Gu Zheng and shouted at the same time.
At this moment, each Xing Cai was holding a white and blue ice sword. They seemed to be even more powerful than the blue ice sword from before. A dense killing intent came from the tip of the sword, showing just how angry the Xing Cai was.
Four beams of blue light shone brightly. The four Star Colors suddenly took a step forward, stabbing towards Gu Zheng's vital points at the same time.
Seeing that his head, chest, abdomen, and back had all been targeted, he knew that they were going to take his life this time.
A faint golden light flashed in Gu Zheng's eyes, and he quickly turned around.
"Here!"
Gu Zheng's body shined brightly. He didn't care about the attacks around him. He opened his mouth and a ray of golden light shot into the sky.
The four powerful attacks instantly closed in on Gu Zheng. However, all of this was a deliberate act by Gu Zheng. Even the wound on his shoulder was deliberately made by him.
Of course, the four attacks were blocked outside and couldn't break through Gu Zheng's defense at all. They only left sparkling white frost on the surface. Unfortunately, before they could spread out, they were shattered by the tyrannical power.
In a place not high in the air, with a flash of ripples, Xing Cai's body appeared. Seeing that she had been discovered, she didn't panic at all. With a wave of her hand, countless water dragons gathered around her. When the golden light arrived, they had already turned into a rippling water ball that surrounded her.
Seeing this scene, the corners of Gu Zheng's mouth revealed a trace of a smile.
When the golden light was about to collide, it suddenly flashed and split into golden electric arcs. All of them rushed toward the water ball.
Crackle!
As the electric arcs jumped on it, the entire water ball trembled. Even Xing Cai's expression changed, but she couldn't rush out. She could only increase her magic power to maintain the water ball's defense.
However, in just two breaths, the water ball couldn't withstand such a violent attack. Even if Xing Cai was replenishing it, it reached its limit and collapsed in the air.
The remaining golden electric arcs were less than one-tenth of the previous ones, but they still hit Xing Cai.
Puff!
Xing Cai suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. Her body trembled in the air. She could no longer maintain her figure and fell down.
At the same time, the four Xing Cai figures below also trembled and turned into a mass of blue water and fell to the ground.
Although she was seriously injured, Xing Cai's eyes were full of fierce light. A strange fluctuation bloomed on her chest and a small blue ball quickly condensed at the same time.
At this moment, Gu Zheng's body flickered several times in succession. Five jade rings were thrown out by Gu Zheng. They flashed in the air and wrapped around Xing Cai's body like lightning.
The strange fluctuation was like a deflated balloon, dissipating very quickly. Even the blue water ball that was about to form on her chest dissipated at the same time.
The five jade rings shone slightly, firmly confining the magic power in Xing Cai's body. At the same time, Gu Zheng's hand quickly made a few gestures in the air. Several transparent runes appeared in the air.
Gu Zheng's hand suddenly pushed forward. Those transparent runes instantly flew toward Xing Cai and entered her body.
Xing Cai, who was originally struggling fiercely, rolled her eyes. Her body went soft and she directly fainted.
Seeing this scene, Gu Zheng did not hesitate. His whole body suddenly jumped up and rushed toward the door of the hall with Xing Cai's body in his arms.
A few ghosts who came a step late could only follow behind Gu Zheng and continue to chase.
The talisman guards who had received the order stopped all their spells when Gu Zheng came over. Gu Zheng also accelerated and crossed the distance in an instant. He came to the side of the talisman guards.
Rumble!
Some ghosts wanted to take the opportunity to rush over, but they were beaten back again by the sky full of spells.
Gu Zheng turned his head and nodded slightly to thank Elder Gu who was fighting fiercely in the air. The next moment, he rushed into the hall.
As soon as he came in, even if it was just an open door, Gu Zheng felt that the sound of the battle outside was almost inaudible.
Looking at the runes lit up all around, Gu Zheng did not look carefully. He carefully put Xing Cai on the ground, then stretched out his hand and put it on her wrist, carefully probing the current state of her body.
After half a cup of tea's time passed, Gu Zheng frowned deeply. Because at this time, he did not find any abnormalities at all. But inside Xing Cai, he could still feel the hatred and restlessness hidden in the depths of her body.
But he could not detect anything, which made Gu Zheng's heart excited.
"Has she been poisoned by the blood poison?" Suddenly, a pained and suppressed voice sounded by Gu Zheng's ear.
Gu Zheng hurriedly looked up. On the side wall, there was a flickering transparent entrance to a room. Although it was sealed, he could see a young man behind it with a trace of joy on his face. He had been observing Gu Zheng for some time, and only now did he speak.
"It shouldn't be. We have already eaten the Blood Fruit before, which can prevent the blood poison, but we were bewitched by that banshee! That's why we became like this. " Although Gu Zheng did not know who the other party was, since he was still here, at least he knew more than him.
"Then it's a bit dangerous." When the young man heard this, his face scrunched up. After thinking for a moment, he said.
"But among the reinforcements behind you, don't you have a way to deal with it? We risked our lives to teleport out here, so we should have told you about the situation here and prepared to deal with everything here. He was infected by the banshee's river water. Things like the Blood Fruit can't prevent it. "
"Reinforcements? I'm afraid there are no reinforcements. All the entrances outside have been sealed. The two of us accidentally fell here. "Gu Zheng was startled. He understood the other party's desire, but he still told him the situation.
"I knew it. Those people would not let us go. It's just a pity for Daoist Jiang. I don't know if he is in danger. He is the only one here who is not poisoned. I hope he won't be so stupid and leave here quickly." Hearing Gu Zheng's words, the young man seemed to have known this would happen, but the joy on his face disappeared.
"Daoist Jiang!" When Gu Zheng heard the other party's words, he subconsciously thought of the person he had killed, who was wholeheartedly focused on refining pills. He did not expect that person to be the one who had been sent out here.
"You've seen him?" The young man saw Gu Zheng's expression and was stunned.
"I only saw him by chance, but he was already attacked and killed by someone at that time." Gu Zheng said with a straight face. He would pretend that he did not kill the other party. In fact, the other party had taken the initiative to eat the secret medicine and died, so they could not be blamed.
In that situation, they had no choice. The other party's crazed state had almost caused them to die.
"This is fate. The other party's obsession is too deep. Cough, cough!" The young man wanted to continue speaking, but he suddenly coughed and coughed up mouthfuls of black blood. He leaned against the wall, his face filled with pain.
"What's wrong with you?" Gu Zheng hurriedly asked as he took a few steps forward. He had not yet asked the other party how to save Xing Cai.
Gu Zheng, who was near the door, suddenly froze and looked inside.
Within the white circles, there were a few people who were crazily struggling. They madly tried to smash their way out, but they were all blocked by the seals.
However, Gu Zheng could clearly see that the red light in their eyes had not completely turned red, and they were still in human form. It seemed that they had not completely turned into ghosts yet.
"Cough cough, their blood poison is too deep. They can only remain like this, imprisoned in the blood moon. Normally, they can still recover their consciousness." The young man's complexion improved a little. He looked at Gu Zheng's dazed gaze and explained.
"Then what about my friend? Is there a complete solution here? " Gu Zheng thought of Duan Chen, who was outside. His situation was much worse than these people because he had completely turned into a ghost when he was in the blood moon.
"There's no solution. You'll understand if you look at us. Even Elder Gu had to temporarily abandon his physical body and become a part of the nourishment here." The young man looked at Gu Zheng's hopeful gaze and slowly shook his head.
Gu Zheng's eyes dimmed, and he turned to look at Xing Cai. Boundless sorrow welled up in his heart. Could it be that she was going to turn into a ghost in the end?
"However, it's not that there's no solution. Daoist Jiang has already found a way to cure the blood poison. There aren't any materials here, so he'll definitely go to the alchemy room to refine them. It's a pity that by the time you saw him, he was already dead. Perhaps he hasn't gone there yet."
When Gu Zheng heard the voice behind him, joy flashed in his eyes. However, he suppressed it in the next moment. He took out two medicine bottles and placed a pill on each of his palms. He then turned around and raised his hands to the young man as he said, "Young man, this is a pill.
"Look at this. When he died, he wasn't completely dead. I helped him kill the Goblin people, and he gave us this. He didn't even have time to say anything before he stopped breathing."
"Can you get rid of the blood poison in her body?"
