At this time, Xing Cai said to Gu Zheng with a happy expression, asking for his opinion.
If it weren't for Gu Zheng holding her back, they would've been trapped as well.
Although they didn't know if they could escape in the end, as long as they were trapped for a long time, their goal would've been achieved.
Previously, the shaman had been so anxious. It was obvious that Elder Gu couldn't buy them much time.
"Don't be anxious. Let me take a look!" Gu Zheng comforted Xing Cai and began to carefully observe the front.
Now, all the ghosts were gathered below the banshee. There were close to a hundred of them. The blackened talisman was also standing in the middle. The black talisman in front of it was already in an activated state, vigilant of others.
Even though they were affected by the scream, because of their careful retreat, Gu Zheng was able to escape being swallowed by the blood sphere.
"This blood sphere is abnormally strong. If the two of us want to break it from the outside, it'll take a few days. By then, it'll be too late," Gu Zheng said helplessly after carefully observing the surroundings.
"Can't we interfere with the banshees?" Xing Cai also observed and knew that Gu Zheng was right. However, the banshees could do something.
One had to know that the puppets were all on guard. The two of them didn't have any interference.
"Think about it. The blood river in their hands is endless. How could they not leave a layer of defense on themselves? If they entangle us because of this, we'll be in trouble," Gu Zheng said as he pointed at the banshee.
He didn't believe that the banshee would be stupid enough to let the enemies attack them from afar.
Just as they were talking, one of the peak Jin Xian zombies that had been left outside suddenly leaped and rushed towards the banshee in the air.
Even though the ghosts below could have stopped her, they did not do so. Instead, they stayed below to protect the lower part of the demoness' body.
The zombie quickly approached the banshee. However, the banshee didn't seem to react. She didn't seem to counterattack or stop it. When the zombie's arm was a foot away from the banshee, a red light suddenly flashed and the zombie's body disappeared.
There were no signs at all. Even though Gu Zheng was keeping a close eye on it, he did not notice how it disappeared.
"It seems that the area below is the banshee's blind spot. That's why there are so many ghostly guards. That strange layer of protection, if my guess is wrong, must have been transferred into the blood sphere. They sure are fearless," Gu Zheng said with a sneer.
"Then what about us?" Xing Cai hesitated, seemingly understanding Gu Zheng's idea.
"That's right. Let's charge straight in. They've been trapped, so we can't waste time foolishly. The other party's goal is to open up a small gap and let Elder Gu leave. You should know that once the medicine wears off, they'll turn back into ghosts. Even if we save them, it'll be meaningless," Gu Zheng explained from the side. At the same time, he handed a black pill to Xing Cai.
If he didn't explain, he was afraid that Xing Cai wouldn't be able to think things through.
"I understand!" Xing Cai nodded solemnly and reached out to take the black pill.
"Get ready. In three breaths' time, we will rush over!" Gu Zheng nodded. The two figures were like arrows leaving the bowstring, flying forward instantly.
Four banshees occupied four coke ovens. Therefore, Gu Zheng's best choice was to pass through the middle. The moment they moved, it was as if someone had seen through their thoughts. Half of the ghostly guards under the banshees moved to surround the middle.
However, a scorching fireball rose from the sky and smashed towards Gu Zheng. Indeed, it was the Darkened Spirit Guard who launched the first attack. It only took a breath's time.
A washbasin-sized fireball, a sharp wind blade, a three feet long stone spike, and a slow-moving mist appeared in front of Gu Zheng and rushed towards him.
As for the two Darkened Zombies, their bodies were also restless, as if they would attack Gu Zheng at any time.
The corners of Gu Zheng's mouth curled into a sneer. Without any movement, a dazzling golden light appeared above his head. In the next moment, it charged toward the incoming attack.
"Boom!"
A violent explosion was mixed with a few slight tremors. A large patch of golden light dazzled the sky. The large patch of golden light even covered the sky and completely covered Gu Zheng's figure.
However, although those ghostly guards couldn't see through them, they could still sense the other party's figure and rushed over.
"Whoosh!
Whoosh! "Two black shadows rushed out from the golden light. They didn't pose any threat and quietly came to the two sides. Then, a black light flashed.
"Kacha!"
Along with two crisp sounds, two extreme black lights suddenly bloomed from the black pill. Without any sound, the two black lights rapidly spread towards the surroundings.
All the ghostly guards in the sky suddenly stagnated and then fell down like dumplings.
The banshees in the sky looked at the black light with some fear. However, when the black light approached, a bloody light emerged from her body. The black light set off a large ripple on the surface. However, it was still lacking in strength to affect the insides of the banshees.
Even the ghostly guards on the ground were slightly affected and became a little chaotic.
However, that was all. The black ball only interfered with the other party and couldn't even cause any damage.
Just when all the ghostly guards were trying to control their bodies, two figures appeared in the sky and quickly flew back.
Although all the ghostly guards couldn't stop Gu Zheng and the banshee, one of them rose into the sky and blocked Gu Zheng's position.
That demonized spirit guard wasn't affected by the black gas at all. He repeatedly made hand gestures in the air and a yellow talisman quickly formed in his hand. When he blocked in front of Gu Zheng, it just happened to take shape. Then, his palm struck out.
As the yellow talisman lit up, a yellow light screen suddenly appeared in the sky. Countless fine yellow lights flashed on top of it at an extremely fast speed. It seemed like it would emit a bright light in the next moment.
However, just as the light flashed on his body, a huge golden sword slashed down from the sky. When the yellow light screen came into contact with it, it instantly collapsed.
The golden sword didn't lose its momentum and once again split the black talisman into two halves. Only then did the figure quickly shrink and return to Gu Zheng's side.
Without this small obstacle, Gu Zheng had no more enemies in front of him.
The two figures hurriedly flew forward and left the group of ghostly guards behind in the blink of an eye.
"Great, now we only need to face the front. Fortunately, we only need to open up a small gap. If we had to destroy it completely, it would be really despairing."
The two quickly approached the front. The mountain peak covered in black gas seemed even bigger. The heavy aura on its body made them feel like they were facing a huge mountain and they were just ants. They were overestimating themselves.
However, Xing Cai quickly got rid of the other party's influence. Not far away, there was an invisible force that sealed the surrounding space. She was the only one left. She couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, but I don't know if Elder Gu will seize that fleeting opportunity." Gu Zheng nodded. Since the teleportation array was inside the mountain, they also needed to open up a passage to leave this place.
While the two of them were flying to block the attack, they suddenly saw two black feathered arrows appear out of nowhere from below. They silently flew towards the two of them at high speed.
Gu Zheng had been vigilant of his surroundings. He didn't believe that there weren't any ghostly guards at the end. Thus, he had discovered the black arrows the moment they appeared.
With a wave of his hand, Gu Zheng didn't stop and continued to fly forward.
Two Sword Qi flew towards the other party. Although the Sword Qi didn't seem to have any power, Gu Zheng had absolute confidence in blocking the other party.
However, in Gu Zheng's peripheral vision, the two black arrows dimmed slightly in the air, as if they were hidden in another space. The Sword Qi actually passed through them and directly exploded below.
The two black arrows blurred and reappeared in the air, flying towards Gu Zheng and Xing Cai.
With this delay, the two arrows had already arrived beside them. It was unrealistic to want to block them. Xing Cai and Gu Zheng both raised a protective barrier, preparing to block this strange trajectory.
"Peng Peng" Two soft sounds rang out.
Just as they were about to approach the two arrows, the black tips in front of them actually exploded in the air. Two fine black nets shot out from inside and covered them from above. Then, they flipped over and retreated to the ground at an extremely fast speed.
Gu Zheng and Xing Cai didn't expect this. They were caught by the other party and were pulled to the ground together with the protective barrier.
At the same time, two figures appeared high up in the sky. They were two beautiful women with black longbows in their hands. Two rays of black light continuously revolved around their bodies. Similarly, they had no legs and were coldly looking at them.
"Peng"
Gu Zheng and Xing Cai both fell to the ground in a sorry state. Looking at the ghostly beings above, Gu Zheng said in a low voice.
"Oh no, it's a special ghostly being. It doesn't look as dull as that silly ghostly being."
"Why do I have a bad feeling!" Xing Cai also looked over and subconsciously said.
At this time, the two of them wanted to destroy the black net. However, they didn't know what this black net was made of. It was very sturdy. Even if Gu Zheng immediately poured out his white flame, he still couldn't tear it apart.
And at this time, the two women in the sky stretched out their hands and grabbed forward. The black lights surrounding them were instantly caught by them and turned into black arrows. The arrows had three blood grooves and the arrow shafts were engraved with shining formation patterns. Before they were shot, a dangerous aura came from them.
They placed the arrows on the bowstrings and slowly pulled them. Countless ghostly aura crazily condensed on the arrows. In the air, a red light visible to the naked eye also entered the black arrows, increasing the power of this attack.
Aiming at Gu Zheng and Xing Cai below, they instantly released their palms.
Just as the arrows left the bowstrings, they instantly disappeared in the air. The bowstrings were still vibrating in the air when two earth-shattering explosions came from below.
The explosions formed by the two perfectly fused together. A black light sphere with a height of one zhang rose from below. Countless black feathers with astonishing power appeared unceasingly and bombarded the two people in the middle.
As if it was attacked by tens of thousands of arrows, muffled sounds kept coming from inside.
After this attack, the two ghosts also consumed a lot of energy. Even the black light outside dimmed a lot. Their four eyes looked down.
After an incense stick's worth of time, the violent black light sphere slowly dissipated.
As the black fog dissipated, a crystal clear ice ball slowly appeared in front of the two ghosts on it.
Gu Zheng and Xing Cai seemed to have been frozen inside. The two of them didn't move at all. The black net on their bodies also dimmed. It looked like it could break at any time.
However, at this time, the ice crystal was covered with cracks. After being bombarded by countless arrows, it almost couldn't hold on.
Gu Zheng and Xing Cai's eyes opened at almost the same time. Xing Cai used her life-saving move. Although she couldn't move, it was the best choice to face this kind of crazy bombardment.
Traces of light blossomed from inside. The black net on their bodies was completely torn apart at almost the same time. In the next moment, they wanted to come out.
As for the two ghosts above, the moment they saw the situation below, they casually grabbed again. The two black lines on their bodies were caught again and condensed into a black feather arrow. They immediately nocked it on the bowstring.
This time, the bowstring wasn't drawn slowly like before. Almost at the same time, the bowstring was pulled into the shape of a full moon. A sharp aura leaked out from it. It was as if there was nothing in the world that it couldn't pierce.
However, just as the bowstring was about to be released, two figures suddenly rushed in from outside. One of the green flames rushed to the left, while the other rushed to the right. At the critical moment, they hit the ghosts' arms.
The two black swords that were about to be shot were instantly deflected.
Boom! Boom! Two huge tremors rose up not far away. Violent gales burst out in all directions. Gu Zheng, who had just come out of the ice layer, rejoiced. If those arrows had hit him, Xing Cai and Xing Cai would have been seriously injured.
At the same time, Gu Zheng saw the two figures flying in their direction. He was shocked.
"Duan Chen, Xiao Ying!"
He hadn't expected the two of them to come at such a critical moment.
At this moment, Xiao Ye was flying above Duan Chen's head. The lantern in her hand continuously emitted a gentle light, enveloping the ghostly Duan Chen. It was as if this light could wake him up a little.
Seeing Xiao Ying's anxious expression, Gu Zheng knew that Duan Chen was definitely in a daze. If he rashly went up, he would probably be treated as an enemy.
At this moment, Duan Chen had already arrived in front of the ghost. His figure suddenly flashed in the air, and he appeared in front of the ghost once again.
The ghost clearly hadn't expected Duan Chen to do this. While it was in a daze, its two hands pierced through its chest from behind. Duan Chen suddenly tore at the ghost, and the ghost was instantly torn into a cloud of black mist. It fled from the side, revealing its true form.
Duan Chen didn't chase after the ghost. Instead, he rushed towards the other ghost. However, the other ghost had already been prepared when it saw its companion being attacked.
When it attacked its companion, the longbow in its hand had already fused with the two rays of black light around its body, forming a short sword. The strange thing was that there were two small wings on the hilt of the sword.
As the ghost waved its wings, the two wings flapped continuously. Layers of black ripples shot out from the wings. Gu Zheng discovered that the surrounding space seemed to have become somewhat chaotic. Duan Chen's attempt to repeat the same trick was instantly futile.
At this moment, Gu Zheng's heart shook. He instantly threw out the two white pills in his hand, and they floated in front of Xiao Ying.
"Swallow it!" Gu Zheng shouted at Xiao Ye.
Xiao Ying was stunned, but she still caught the pills. Her figure flashed, and she happened to catch Duan Chen, who had been sent flying.
Although Duan Chen looked powerful, in reality, when it came to sealing his strange spatial power, he was only slightly stronger than the brainless ghost.
The green light from the lantern in Xiao Ying's hand suddenly enveloped the crazed Duan Chen. At this moment, Xiao Ying immediately stuffed the two pills in her hand into his mouth.
Duan Chen's originally impulsive body suddenly stopped, as if he was frozen in midair.
At this moment, Gu Zheng was already fighting with the ghost opposite him. The other ghost that had been torn apart and reformed was Xing Cai.
As soon as they exchanged blows, Gu Zheng discovered that the other party was extremely difficult to deal with. The other party's battle mentality was not inferior to that of an ordinary human's, and its speed was even faster than Gu Zheng's.
The weapon in its hand could even transform into a small bow during the battle, shooting countless arrows at Gu Zheng. It was extremely nimble, and in just a few rounds, Gu Zheng could not even touch the corner of the other party's clothes.
On the other hand, Xing Cai relied on the frost energy, and on the surface, she looked much better than Gu Zheng. At the very least, she was able to exchange blows with the other party, and it was hard to tell who was at a disadvantage.
On the other side, Duan Chen, who was covered in ghosts, swallowed the pills and woke up from the confusion. When he saw the two people fighting in front of him, he was confused for a moment and realized that Xiao Ying had given him something to eat.
"Gu Zheng gave it to me. I don't know what it is." Duan Chen was slightly confused. Although Xiao Ying could not see the other party's eyes, she knew what he was thinking.
"I see. I didn't expect him to meet Daoist Jiang," Duan Chen muttered, as if he was reminiscing about something.
However, in the next moment, his body rushed forward again. He looked at Gu Zheng, who was fighting in front of him, and then at the mountain not far away. The black fog was still boiling, and he could not go there at all. Once he went there, he would be directly sucked in and die.
The blood-red light in the air continuously flowed into his body, and his body released a tyrannical aura.
"Ahhh!"
Following Duan Chen's angry roar, his body suddenly expanded again. The blue bamboo hat on his head also expanded, and strange patterns appeared on it. His close-fitting clothes also suddenly became loose.
When Gu Zheng heard Duan Chen's roar, he immediately retreated and forcibly separated from his opponent.
Duan Chen's aura had grown even stronger. His fingers had turned into a pair of red ghost claws. Red mist was rising from them, and they looked extremely sharp. If Duan Chen had been a little weaker, he would have been torn in half by Duan Chen's attack.
"You two leave this place. Leave these two monsters to us," Duan Chen glanced at Gu Zheng and Xing Cai and said indifferently.
"Many thanks!"
Gu Zheng did not need to explain. Duan Chen knew what was going on, so he did not hesitate. After thanking Gu Zheng, he signaled Xing Cai to leave and continued flying forward.
"You two be careful!" Xing Cai also knew what was important. She warned them and then followed behind Gu Zheng.
Not long after Gu Zheng left, two similar roars rang out. Gu Zheng, who was not far away, turned his head to look.
He vaguely saw that the two ghosts seemed to be threatened by Duan Chen. Their bodies were emitting a huge amount of black fog, as if they were about to transform a second time.
However, Gu Zheng could not stop to observe, as they had more important things to do.
