After a while, Gu Zheng and Xing Cai had already left the place where they were attacked.
Even the faint sounds of fighting could no longer be heard.
Gu Zheng looked at the huge black screen that was getting closer and closer. He slowly raised his vigilance in his heart. He didn't believe that there would be no one guarding this place, allowing them to get close so easily.
Moreover, its combat power was definitely not low. It wasn't one of those stupid low-end ghosts. It might even be more powerful and intelligent than the ones they encountered before.
Soon, they got close. From afar, they saw a ghost floating in the air. It seemed to be guarding this place.
At this time, the other party's back was facing them. They could only see the faint purple ghost energy on its body. The assassin's cloak gave it a mysterious feeling, especially the purple gas that was constantly rising from its body.
Below its waist, clouds of purple gas condensed and flowed together. It felt like they were constantly spurting out, as if they were keeping its body afloat in the air.
When Gu Zheng approached, the Assassin Ghost turned its head. Its entire head was similarly hidden in a hoodie, with only a purple red dot flickering in the middle of its head.
Gu Zheng's figure slowly stopped in the air. He said to Xing Cai, "Be careful. The other party is giving me a very dangerous feeling."
"I can see that!" Xing Cai's expression also became serious. Looking at the other party was like looking at a peerless weapon. The waves of killing intent caused her to feel a stabbing pain between her eyebrows.
The other party's four thick claws flickered with purple light. Especially on its forearms, there were two pairs of silver sleeves. Each of them had a purple wrist blade, showing off its sharpness.
Looking at the other party's faintly raised arm, Gu Zheng's expression became serious. At this time, his whole body was locked on by the other party. He seemed to understand that he was the other party's opponent.
"I'll go hold it back. You take the opportunity to go behind and observe. Safety first, understand?" Gu Zheng's eyes were fixed on the front as he instructed Xing Cai.
Xing Cai also understood the other party's strength. She was afraid that the two of them would be sending themselves to their deaths. This wasn't belittling herself, but the other party was just that strong.
Perhaps the strongest person under the Ghost General would be protecting the last line of defense.
"Be careful!" Xing Cai glanced at Gu Zheng. Just as she was about to reply, she suddenly heard Gu Zheng's angry roar. Immediately after, Gu Zheng heavily punched her shoulder, causing her to fall to the side in a daze.
In mid-air, he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a long purple line streaking across his previous position.
"This is!" Xing Cai felt a chill in her abdomen and subconsciously touched it. Her hand was covered in blood. When she looked down, she saw a bloody wound on her abdomen.
If it wasn't for Gu Zheng's timely attack, he would have been split into two.
The moment Xing Cai reacted, she swallowed a pill. Then, she turned into a puddle of water and disappeared.
After Gu Zheng pushed Xing Cai away, he instantly caught up to the Assassin and stabbed his longsword into the Assassin's back. He couldn't give the Assassin any time to chase after Xing Cai.
The Assassin's eyes seemed to have swollen behind him. His figure flashed, and his whole body moved horizontally in the air. He just happened to dodge from the side.
When Gu Zheng stabbed the air, he immediately slashed with his blade at the Assassin.
"Pfff"
When he slightly touched the Assassin's body, a purple smoke appeared out of thin air. Gu Zheng secretly said "oh no" in his heart. He didn't choose to withdraw the weapon in his hand. Instead, he held another weapon with his other hand and used it to block behind him.
As for the other one, with a turn, it actually slashed forward fiercely.
"Clang Clang"
The sound of two weapons colliding echoed in the air.
Gu Zheng looked at the Assassin in front of him and felt a burst of pain on his back. That was because he blocked the Assassin's attack. However, the huge force caused his weapon to stick to his back. The Assassin's attack was transmitted to his body through the weapon.
In front of him, he was still in a slashing posture. The Assassin raised his left arm and used his wrist blade to block Gu Zheng's heavy slash. The purple ball of light that was twice the size of a normal person's eyeball seemed to be carefully looking at Gu Zheng, as if to see how he would block his illusory attack.
Gu Zheng also looked at this ghost. It seemed that he had underestimated the Assassin. What made Gu Zheng even more worried was that the Assassin could also evolve a second time.
Those ghosts seemed to have the ability to evolve. Although he didn't know what kind of price they had to pay, not only did their fighting strength increase, but they also seemed to have some new skills. It was really inconceivable.
Gu Zheng suspected that Goblin's magic treasure was at least a Natural Spirit Treasure. Otherwise, it wouldn't have such a great effect.
In less than a breath, so much information flashed through Gu Zheng's mind.
At this moment, Gu Zheng's clone, even if it was very short, could give him such an opportunity. The Assassin on the other side suddenly moved. The wrist blade on his wrist slanted, and along with the explosion of golden light of the longsword, it slashed towards Gu Zheng's palm.
In the next moment, Gu Zheng flipped his wrist and instantly broke free from the blade. At the same time, his body retreated rapidly. However, the Assassin also followed closely behind Gu Zheng, as if he didn't want to let go.
Seeing the Assassin's strength, Gu Zheng frowned. The hand behind his back that hadn't been retracted moved back and forth, pointing at the blade. Layers of golden ripples rose from the blade.
After only two breaths, Gu Zheng suddenly pulled out his other hand and stabbed at the Assassin in front of him like lightning.
The golden sword that had been enchanted with magic pierced into the Assassin's body in almost the instant it was pulled out. A golden light rose from the Assassin's body. Before Gu Zheng could rejoice, the Assassin didn't seem to care at all. The Assassin's wrist blade suddenly slammed downwards, and the Assassin's longsword immediately fell. Without anything to cover it, the Assassin's sharp claws took the opportunity to pierce towards Gu Zheng's heart.
A feeling of extreme danger rose in Gu Zheng's heart. Gu Zheng's blood vessels sped up several times. He could hear the roar of his own blood waves, but the Assassin wasn't affected in the slightest.
It had to be known that the Assassin's abdomen had a large hole in it, almost blowing his body in two. However, the Assassin's movements didn't show any hesitation, as if it wasn't his own body.
Perhaps the Assassin had deliberately let him succeed. Gu Zheng's heart flashed with a trace of thought. However, he didn't hesitate to activate the magic he had prepared beforehand.
At the same time, he threw down the weapons in his hands. Under the threat of death, he once again sped up and retreated.
No matter how fast Gu Zheng was, the Assassin was even faster. The five jade bracelets on his wrist flashed rapidly, and a layer of five-colored light suddenly appeared around Gu Zheng's body.
Not only that, but layers of golden light once again weakened him. Finally, a layer of yellow light appeared on his surface.
At this time, the strange purple claws had already reached towards Gu Zheng, colliding with the first layer of the five-colored barrier.
Five rays of light rose in front of Gu Zheng, and the purple claws that Gu Zheng was afraid of were actually blocked.
On the other side, the Assassin Ghost's eyes flashed wildly. He was also shocked by this defense. In the next moment, a purple light shot out from his single eye, shooting at the five-colored light.
The originally dazzling barrier was covered by the purple light curtain. It was like a dam that had been breached. The huge amount of energy inside quickly dissipated, and the entire barrier quickly dimmed. In less than a breath's time, a light "Kacha" sound could be heard. The sturdy five-colored barrier was astonishingly shattered into pieces, scattering in the surroundings.
The several layers of defense in front of Gu Zheng were like flashing fireworks, collapsing one after another in the air. They weren't able to stop the Assassin's purple claws in the slightest.
The two figures quickly retreated, leaving behind a splendid trail of fireworks in the air.
In the end, the purple claws finally hit Gu Zheng's last layer of defense. At this time, a pen appeared in Gu Zheng's hand, and he quickly shot it towards the Assassin's head.
"Bang!"
A huge force violently came. The barrier in front of Gu Zheng flashed wildly, and his entire body was sent flying. He spat out a mouthful of blood with a "Wah" sound. The layer of light on his body had finally completed its mission and shattered halfway.
After spitting out a mouthful of blood, Gu Zheng felt much better. When he threw out the Magistrate's Brush, he clearly felt that the Assassin Ghost had held back. Otherwise, how could it be called a mouthful of blood?
In the air, Gu Zheng saw that the Assassin Ghost didn't let the Magistrate's Brush pierce through him at will this time. It was clear that the Assassin Ghost was wary of it. His entire body quickly retreated, and his hand grabbed at the air. Streaks of purple energy appeared from the claws, and from the wrist blades, purple energy shot out towards the Magistrate's Brush.
However, in front of the Magistrate's Brush, these attacks were like weak stones blocking its path. A layer of dim light flickered on its body, blocking them all. It didn't delay its figure at all, and instead forced the Assassin Ghost to continuously retreat.
In the end, under the Assassin Ghost's continuous dodging, the Magistrate's Brush pierced through the Assassin Ghost's shoulder. The Assassin Ghost immediately turned into a cloud of purple mist and dissipated in the air.
Seeing this, Gu Zheng's heart suddenly lit up. No matter how powerful the Assassin Ghost was, it was only a Ghost. Ghosts naturally had something that countered them. The Magistrate's Brush had Xiantian power and could guide the power of Yin and Yang. It was the perfect magic treasure to counter the Assassin Ghost.
Thinking of this, Gu Zheng waved his hand and the Magistrate's Brush returned to his hand. He carefully observed his surroundings. Right now, he wanted to cause trouble for the Assassin Ghost.
The Magistrate's Brush wasn't very suitable for battle. Gu Zheng had almost forgotten about it. However, he was now filled with confidence. If the Assassin Ghost appeared again, he would definitely teach it a lesson.
A moment of silence passed. Perhaps it knew the power of the Magistrate's Brush in Gu Zheng's hand, but the Assassin Ghost didn't appear.
However, a faint killing intent still enveloped Gu Zheng. If Gu Zheng made the slightest mistake, the Assassin Ghost was certain that a thunderous attack would instantly descend on his body.
Gu Zheng saw that the Assassin Ghost was so obedient and knew how to stall for time. He maintained his vigilance and flew towards the black curtain behind him.
Because of the battle, he wasn't too far away from the black curtain. If the Assassin Ghost really didn't appear, then it would be to his liking.
However, Gu Zheng was thinking too much. When he was still some distance away from the black curtain, the Assassin Ghost's figure appeared not too far away. Its single eye was abnormally bright, and he could clearly sense the Assassin Ghost's angry aura.
"Now's the time!"
Of course, Gu Zheng wouldn't be polite. The instant the Assassin Ghost appeared, the Magistrate's Brush, which had been waiting for a long time, shot towards the Assassin Ghost's head.
However, since the Assassin Ghost had rushed out, it naturally had nothing to fear. Its eyes flashed, and the purple ball of light that Gu Zheng thought was an eye actually flew out of its face, forming a purple circle of light that trapped the Magistrate's Brush.
Gu Zheng was shocked. Under the encirclement of the strange purple Qi, he had actually lost contact with the Magistrate's Brush. What shocked Gu Zheng even more was that the Assassin Ghost's body was surging with a large amount of purple mist, causing a trace of bitterness to well up in his heart.
"It can't be, it's already starting to erupt!"
Although this was what he thought, Gu Zheng had already thought of another magic treasure. He raised his hand, and the Li Bracelet on his right hand flew out of his hand. A white flame instantly erupted in the air, and a scorching aura slowly rose.
On the other side, as the purple mist rose, the Assassin Ghost also began to change.
First of all, its entire body doubled in size. Its originally sharp claws looked much thicker, as if they had lost their original sharpness. The wrist blade fell from its arm, and the Assassin Ghost fused together tail to tail, and a purple cylinder appeared from the point of contact.
It was a strangely shaped weapon that resembled a sickle, but it also had the shape of a gun.
Its originally tight-fitting clothes also expanded, and a majestic cloak fluttered behind it. Moreover, the purple mist below it transformed into a spiral that constantly shot out, seemingly having another function.
On the other side, the Assassin Ghost had transformed into a Berserker Warrior in the blink of an eye. Its two purple eyes glowed outwards as it stared at Gu Zheng.
However, at this moment, as the last wisp of white flames swelled in front of Gu Zheng, a nimble little bird the size of two adults appeared in the air. Countless flames blazed from its body as it stared intently at the ghost in front of it.
"Go and destroy the Assassin Ghost!" Gu Zheng shouted at the little bird before him. This was the Li Bracelet's transformation. Although it had lost a lot of its flexibility, its overall strength had greatly increased. This was especially true for the Li Fire within its body, which was the nemesis of all evil creatures.
When the little bird heard Gu Zheng's call, it let out a soft cry. With a flap of its wings, it charged towards the Assassin Ghost, leaving a path of flames in the air.
The Assassin Ghost abruptly roared. The sickle in its hand released a purple beam of light, which shot into the distant black mist.
Then, it brandished the sickle in its hand, leaving behind a brilliant purple afterimage in the air as it charged towards the little bird.
In its opinion, the little bird was far more dangerous to it than Gu Zheng. After the Assassin Ghost's magic treasure was sealed, it had become a minor threat. Thus, it prioritized dealing with creatures that could harm it.
Gu Zheng did not know what the Assassin Ghost was thinking. After seeing that the Assassin Ghost had been attracted by the little bird, he felt satisfied and turned around. He wanted to observe the black mist and open up a gap.
However, when he turned his head, he saw large black clumps falling from the black mist. The first one was about to land on the ground. He could vaguely make out a creature within it. Recalling the Assassin Ghost's previous actions, he suddenly realized that the Assassin Ghost was summoning its subordinates.
The black clumps were like meteors. Gu Zheng could not get close at all. However, that did not mean that he would wait for the Assassin Ghost to land.
With a thought from Gu Zheng, countless Sword Qi suddenly rose from his back and rushed towards the black clumps.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Ding! The Sword Qi entered the black clumps in the air, creating a series of clanging sounds.
"What the hell is this?" Gu Zheng felt suspicious. Could it be that the thing inside was not a Assassin Ghost?
Bang! Bang! Bang!
At that moment, the black clumps finally landed. Following a series of powerful vibrations, the ground nearby cracked open. The black mist that surrounded them quickly dissipated, revealing the creatures inside, which gave Gu Zheng a shock.
Rocks of different sizes seemed to have been forcefully put together. Purple light leaked out from the gaps in their bodies. Every one of them was a huge Rock Puppet that was ten meters tall. No wonder he was unable to destroy them earlier.
Ancient runes were engraved on their bodies, adding a layer of black light to their bodies, making them look abnormally sturdy.
"Young Master Gu, wait a moment!"
Gu Zheng wanted to go forward and test it out. Suddenly, not far from his side, a wave of water rose in the air. Xing Cai's figure appeared there and stopped Gu Zheng.
Xing Cai looked at Gu Zheng's eyes and immediately pointed to her body and explained, "The Assassin Ghost is clearly targeting you. Their physical defense is absolutely strong. The Sword Qi from earlier did not seem to be useless against them. I am almost there now and can use a strong enough spell to block them."
At that moment, Xing Cai had transformed into a set of clothes again. It was impossible to see her injuries from earlier. However, looking at her ruddy face, it seemed that the terrifying external injuries from earlier were almost healed.
Gu Zheng nodded and looked at the hundreds of Rock Puppets that had landed below. Although each of them was not strong, their bodies were tough. It gave Gu Zheng a headache. It would take a long time to deal with them. Moreover, there were still many behind them that were about to land. It would be best if Xing Cai was there to hold them back.
When Xing Cai saw this, she immediately took out a pearl that looked familiar to Gu Zheng. He could not help but ask.
"Wasn't this set of equipment completely destroyed?"
Xing Cai looked at the pearl in her hand and said, "Yes, but this weapon is not destroyed. If it is used alone, it will be strengthened by a lot."
The entire pearl stopped in front of Xing Cai. As different runes were shot out from Xing Cai's hand, the pearl in front of her flourished with blue light and shot straight into the sky.
"Boom!
Boom! "With a thunderous sound, the pearl actually opened up in the sky with a loud bang. Countless floodwaters quickly spread out from it. In almost a few breaths, a strange sea appeared in the sky.
"Look at my power!" Xing Cai's hand did not stop moving. She looked at the Rock Puppets that were starting to attack. Their small heads were also evolved from stone. They had two purple eyes and a somewhat crooked mouth. They looked very funny.
"Ten Thousand Dragons Devour Ghosts!"
Xing Cai shouted. As she suddenly waved her hand, the somewhat violent seawater above her rolled even more violently.
One could feel that countless Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth were gathering above, and vortexes were constantly spinning above.
"Roar!"
Along with a loud dragon roar, it was as if countless huge dragons were spinning above. At the center of the vortexes, one after another, blue and transparent dragon heads appeared from above.
"Crash!"
There were more than a hundred lifelike dragon heads. A pair of blue eyes were fixed on their target. They opened their huge mouths and swallowed down.
Behind each dragon head was a thick stream of water. It was as if they were really huge. In the blink of an eye, they sank into the Rock Puppets that were flourishing with purple Qi.
