As the black-robed priest's firm voice faded away, everyone began to move.
Two rows of Spiritual Guards walked forward and glared at the opposite side. The four spiritual talismans on their bodies also began to revolve rapidly around their bodies.
Sizzling sounds of electricity suddenly rose in the air.
After merely two breaths, all the spiritual talismans lined up neatly in front of them. As the spiritual talismans lit up again, countless blue lightning bolts burst out from within.
Every spiritual talisman emitted lightning bolts that were as thin as strands of hair. Like a rain of thousands of arrows, they blasted forward.
The bombardment of a hundred spiritual talismans caused the void before them to tremble. The entire sky was illuminated by the dazzling thunderstorm. Even Gu Zheng could not look straight ahead. He could not help but shift his head away. However, he used his consciousness to observe the opposite side from the sky.
Just as the lightning bolts were about to be released, all the ghosts in front opened their mouths and spat out black gas. Although there were only a few of them, there were many of them.
In the blink of an eye, a thick black fog was formed in front of them, guarding them firmly.
However, in the face of the spiritual talisman guards' attack, in the face of this huge thunderstorm, this seemingly huge black fog only flashed with a black light. It slowed down the speed of the lightning bolts slightly. It was even undetectable. In an instant, it was torn apart and turned into black fog that filled the sky.
The thunderstorm's momentum did not diminish as it continued to charge forward. After a breath, as long as the ghosts were in front of the thunderstorm, regardless of their cultivation or how immortal their bodies were, they were all obliterated.
At least one-third of the ghosts died under this attack. They felt that there was nothing in front of them and a huge tunnel appeared before them.
Gu Zheng was truly shocked. With such power, even if an early-stage Grand Luo stood in front of him and took it head-on, he would be severely injured even if he did not die. It felt as if it was an all-out attack from a mid-stage Grand Luo.
However, the activation speed was a little slow. By the time it was released, a Grand Luo had already moved away from his position or slapped down. All the Spiritual Guards were dead.
"This move can only be used once. Furthermore, it has never been used before. That's why it's so effective. Now, all of them need to recover. Don't just stand there. Hurry up and charge over."
A person at the side shouted at Gu Zheng. Then, he charged forward like a gust of wind.
Gu Zheng snapped out of his daze and looked to the side.
The puppets at the front were the first to rush forward, followed by the zombie army. However, the bead on the Spirit Guard's neck was faintly emitting a milky white light, as if it was replenishing its magic power. As for the four blue talismans, their light dimmed as they slowly floated in the air.
"Stay close to me and be careful," Gu Zheng shouted at Xing Cai, who was still immersed in the power she had just displayed.
"En!" Xing Cai hurriedly responded and followed Gu Zheng's figure forward.
Soon, only the talismans and a few zombie guards were left behind.
Just as Gu Zheng started to move, a huge illusory mountain peak appeared in the sky in the distance. As soon as it took shape, it came crashing down with the force of Mount Tai.
Boom!
The earth quaked and the mountains swayed, and the dozens of ghostly beings below were crushed by the huge mountain, turning into black Qi that filled the sky.
Gu Zheng's face was overjoyed. His biggest advantage was his magic weapon. He could completely bombard them.
However, just as Gu Zheng took out the yellow jade bracelet, the scattered black Qi condensed in the air and restored his body. It was as if he hadn't been injured at all.
The youth who came out later saw that Gu Zheng also wanted to attack, so he stopped beside him and said, "The other party won't be affected by any elemental attacks. Only certain spells can hurt them. Of course, pure physical attacks can also deal with them."
"However, although spells can't cause any damage, they can interrupt some of the other party's spells. They can also break open a path."
After saying that, the youth held a long sword and passed by Gu Zheng's side, rushing into the distance.
"Why don't they take a detour? Why do they have to charge head-on?"
Xing Cai asked Gu Zheng through voice transmission.
"The surroundings have been sealed by magic power. There is only one path, so there is no other choice."
At that moment, Gu Zheng and Xing Cai had already charged into the midst of the other party's ghosts. The Wild Ghost, who had been exposed all this time, immediately rushed over. Its originally sharp claws were already glowing red. Before it even got close, it had already grabbed at Gu Zheng.
A blood-red claw appeared in the air with a whistling sound and fiercely clawed at Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng casually waved his hand and a golden light flashed in the air. The blood-red claw was immediately scattered in the air.
"No wonder, why didn't I notice it?" Xing Cai suddenly realized. At the same time, she threw a blue water line in her hand. The white bones in front of her were immediately entangled. Then, Xing Cai quickly cast a spell. A fist-sized water ball flew out from her chest in the next moment, knocking the white bones away.
Whoosh!
A sonic boom resounded in the air. Gu Zheng focused his eyes and saw that it was the front claw in the wild ghost's hand. The front arm had been cut off, and it stabbed towards Gu Zheng like a hidden weapon.
This time, Gu Zheng couldn't be careless. But before he could move, a frost rushed up from behind him. The originally aggressive claws were instantly covered with a layer of frost. After taking a few steps forward, it turned into a pile of fragments and fell from the sky.
The wild ghost followed closely behind. Before it could react, it was also shrouded in frost. But in the next moment, it turned into a black mist and broke free, revealing its figure.
Black Qi gushed out from his body, and the severed arm grew out once again. Even the effects of the frost had completely disappeared. However, he did not launch another attack at Gu Zheng. It was because a black puppet had already launched a sneak attack from behind, tangling with him.
It didn't come over, but the other ghosts still charged over. Gu Zheng didn't say anything to Xing Cai. He just dodged and sent the two white bones in front of him flying.
There were puppets and ghosts everywhere in front of them. Every time they sent one flying, more would come. Basically, they only had one chance to deal with an enemy before they had to face other enemies.
Although they had a lot of people on their side and the other side had also suffered some damage, they were all charging ahead. They basically didn't care about what was behind them.
As for the ghosts, they were doing their best to block them. As they retreated, many of the ghosts that hadn't caught up in time continued to block them.
Because Gu Zheng had been a step late, the ghosts behind them were all stragglers. There were also the puppets at the back. Most of the pressure was on the front.
Magic spells and treasures fell from the sky. It was clear how desperate it was. They had to expend a lot of energy to open a path.
Although this place seemed very close, if they fought their way through, it wouldn't be easy. If they weren't careful, they would all be wiped out.
The two sides were evenly matched. Both sides were certain of victory.
They just wanted to see if they could break through and open a path in the limited time.
Gu Zheng was at the end of the road. In just the time it took for an incense stick to burn, he had only advanced a short distance.
As long as these ghosts weren't killed in the beginning, they would recover in a short while. There were twenty to thirty of them fighting with him, but he only managed to kill the weakest white skeleton.
Xing Cai's side was about the same. However, her battle record was much better. She had killed at least four ghosts. One of them was even Jin Xian's peak wild ghost. Her battle results were remarkable.
This was because she could delay the other party's movements and had a high probability of blocking the other party's retreat.
If the other party wasn't in this kind of explosive state and had a high immunity to magic spells, these ghosts with only simple thoughts and powerful bodies wouldn't be able to withstand the attacks of so many treasures.
In other words, the other party was no different from ordinary puppets. One was made by humans, while the other was converted from spirit tools.
"Young Master, there's a problem at the back."
While fighting, Xing Cai inadvertently found something wrong through some gaps at the back.
Gu Zheng turned his head to take a look. Outside the resting Spirit Guards, more than a hundred powerful ghosts had appeared and were attacking them from all sides.
"Let's rush over to support them!" Gu Zheng immediately said.
Those spirit talismans seemed to be still resting. Once these distant spirit guards were closed in, they would probably be able to display their strength.
Perhaps they knew what Gu Zheng was thinking. When the ghosts in the distance came out, the surrounding ghosts seemed to have gone crazy and crazily gathered towards Gu Zheng.
In just an instant, Gu Zheng and Xing Cai were surrounded by dozens of ghosts.
It wasn't just them. As long as they were behind, the puppets and zombies were all attacked by the other party's suicidal attacks.
Facing so many attacks, Gu Zheng's hand flashed with a golden light and more than ten long swords appeared in his hand.
He leaped into the air and instantly rushed into the sky through the only gap. Looking at the many ghosts below him, Gu Zheng took a deep breath and immediately lined up with his long sword.
Gu Zheng muttered to himself. Golden runes flew up and down along with his lips and flew into the long swords in front of him.
In the blink of an eye, the dozen or so swords were shrouded in dense runes.
As Gu Zheng pinched his hand, a white flame the size of a grain of rice entered the surface of the long swords from his wrist, increasing the scorching aura.
Then, the ten flying swords in front suddenly shone with a brilliant golden light and fell down with a loud bang.
"Boom boom boom"
A burst of intense golden light rose from the west. Accompanied by intense explosions, the ghosts gathered below turned into a cloud of black mist. Not only that, the ghosts that wanted to come over were also blown away by the wind.
In a radius of ten meters around Gu Zheng, there was a blank area. All the ghosts were nowhere to be seen.
For those puppets and zombies, there wasn't much damage. It could be seen that Gu Zheng's control of strength was very high.
Wisps of black gas lingered outside and condensed into ghosts. They were the ghosts that Gu Zheng had just scattered. Now, the black gas on the surface of their bodies flickered. It was obvious that they were heavily injured. More importantly, their numbers were reduced by half.
Gu Zheng had spent a lot of energy to kill nearly twenty ghosts in one fell swoop.
As the golden light dissipated, the ten long swords were put away by Gu Zheng. They flew behind him in an attempt to save the Spirit Guards.
As for Xing Cai below, after the aftermath subsided, the water ball on her body also disappeared at the same time. She followed the ground and returned to the back.
However, they were delayed by these ghosts. Halfway back, the ghosts had already surrounded them and attacked the Spirit Guards.
The few zombie guards couldn't block so many enemies at all. They only blocked a few demons and the rest fell one after another.
The Spirit Guards that were originally motionless suddenly opened their eyes. At this moment, their deep blue eyes looked around. They swung the brush in their hands forward and four different Eight Trigrams appeared on their bodies. It was like a shield protecting them.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
Those ghosts scrambled to grab the Spirit Guards, but they all hit their outer defense. As the ripples on the surface rose, they didn't break through at all.
The Spirit Guards that successfully defended against a wave of ghosts didn't stay in the same place. They all raised their brushes. The talismans beside them immediately floated up and stuck to the front of the brush. As the blue lightning flickered on it, it became blurred and bound on it. The talismans were all holding a brush and lightning sword.
"Crackle!"
The sound of lightning flashing came from their hands. The sound wasn't very loud, but it was very obvious when so many of them were released at the same time.
The brushes in their hands suddenly flashed with lightning and rushed in all directions. The entire Eight Trigrams outside revealed streaks of lightning, causing those ghosts to tremble and take a step back.
At this moment, all the Spirit Guards seemed to have a tacit understanding. They agreed to tear off their own shields. At the same time, they raised the brush in their hands to the sky.
"Crackle!"
Nearly twenty lightning balls rose in the sky. They were like a lightning storm, wreaking havoc in all directions.
Gu Zheng and Xing Cai's figures abruptly stopped in midair. They looked in front of them with some panic.
Within a radius of a few hundred meters, it had already become a sea of thunderstorms. Countless lightning arcs were emitting a terrifying aura. Those frightening ghosts were like drowning animals, helplessly struggling within the sea of thunderstorms.
One by one, the ghosts couldn't withstand the violent energy. They turned into black gas and wanted to escape. However, before the black gas could escape, it was torn apart by the violent energy.
Such a violent thunderstorm came and went in a hurry. Basically, in a dozen breaths of time, all the lightning suddenly disappeared from the sky. All the ghosts turned into ashes. Even the zombies that were protecting them also disappeared.
This made Gu Zheng take a deep breath. If such an attack was used on the ghosts, they would probably be annihilated. This group of Spirit Guards was actually so powerful.
If Gu Zheng and Xing Cai also fell in, there was no doubt that they would also turn into ashes.
These Spirit Guards who had finished their attack looked exhausted. However, the brush and talisman in their hands didn't separate. The lightning on them was still flickering. The remaining Spirit Guards didn't continue to rest. Instead, they raised their weapons and charged into the battlefield.
Gu Zheng looked at the white ball around the other party's neck. At this moment, it had completely disappeared. It was likely that all their reserves had been used up.
However, he didn't know if it would be a suicide attack if the other party charged forward so recklessly.
Gu Zheng and Xing Cai followed behind the other party. They decided to take a look. Perhaps following them would allow them to charge forward.
Following beside the Spirit Guards, they saw that the other party was completely focused. It was as if they didn't know fatigue and were advancing at their fastest speed.
Gu Zheng followed them from the side and quickly caught up to the tail of the group.
Some of the ghosts that had fallen in the periphery saw the Spirit Guards. Their eyes shone fiercely and they charged at the Spirit Guards.
These Spirit Guards didn't slow down. The few Spirit Guards that were about to come into contact with the other party had already raised their weapons. They looked at the ghosts that were charging over from afar as if they were looking at rocks.
The Lightning Swords in the hands of the Spirit Guards suddenly danced in the air. In the blink of an eye, a miniature rune appeared in the air. Then, they pointed it in front of them. With a "weng" sound, a strange halo of light formed in the air.
The Lightning Swords in their hands loosened and suddenly disappeared in mid-air. In the next moment, they appeared at the chests of the ghosts that were charging over. Following the momentum, they stabbed into the chests of the ghosts. A large amount of lightning on the swords directly shot out from the bodies of the ghosts.
As the ghosts struggled on the spot a few times, they actually turned into balls of black light and died completely. The Lightning Swords also returned to their owners' hands.
"These Spirit Guards are really too powerful. As expected of Elder Gu who specializes in dealing with ghosts. It's just that their numbers are a little low. If there were more than a hundred of them, they would be invincible here." Xing Cai praised from the side.
"If there were more of them, when we arrived here, we would have been able to leave. Who knows, the Black Dragon might still be here at this time. Let's not come in." Gu Zheng said jokingly.
However, in his heart, he was also amazed by the Spirit Guards. Previously, the other party had only used a long-range spell attack. Now, it seemed that they were really good at both long-range and short-range attacks.
Especially the other party's Lightning Technique, it seemed to have a huge boost to the ghosts. It could even completely kill the other party.
It seemed that the other party had long been prepared. They had waited for this day to let these Spirit Guards display their full strength.
Following these Spirit Guards, who were capable of killing anything in their way, they advanced at a very fast speed.
By the time they caught up with the people at the front, these Spirit Guards had actually killed more than a hundred ghosts in a short period of time. They were simply several times stronger than all of them.
Gu Zheng didn't put in much effort along the way. No matter what tricks the ghosts used, they couldn't last more than three moves under the hands of these Spirit Guards.
However, the price was that all of the Spirit Guards looked very tired. Anyone could see that they had consumed a lot of energy.
"Let's retreat a little. The other party won't let these Spirit Guards be unscrupulous. I reckon that they must have some tricks up their sleeves." When they were about to charge to the front, Gu Zheng quietly pulled Xing Cai.
Xing Cai nodded in understanding. The two of them retreated a little, tangling with the ghosts that came one after another.
Those priests were at the front. When these Spirit Guards rushed up, the black-robed priest was overjoyed. He quickly took out a sparkling jade bottle from his hand, unscrewed it, and threw it at them.
Twenty drops of milky white concentrated water sprinkled on the Spirit Guards below. They entered their bodies respectively. A layer of faint white light rose from their bodies, making their complexions look much better.
"Ah!"
Just at this time, just as they were about to lead the Spirit Guards to charge forward in one go, four scarlet female demons suddenly rose from the surroundings. They raised the embroidery in their hands. Sparkling red water flowed out from the edges. At the same time, they screamed.
A sound wave visible to the naked eye spread out towards the surroundings.
Whether it was those humans, puppets, zombies, or even the Spirit Guards, they couldn't help but fall into a daze.
In the next moment, four monstrous floods drowned everyone, regardless of friend or foe.
A huge red ball appeared on the ground.
The four female demons raised the embroidery in their hands. Countless torrents continued to pour down, maintaining the red ball, trapping the Spirit Guards and priests inside.
The ghosts outside quickly gathered around the banshee to fend off the remaining puppets.
There were many ghosts, and most of the puppets were trapped in the blood ball. They couldn't charge out at all.
"Young Master Gu, what should we do next!"
