Gu Zheng continued to tangle with the person in front of him, helping him to break the crumbling crystal faster, while looking into the distance.
At this moment, Elder Gu was escaping in a sorry state in front. Behind him, the mighty Ghost General was chasing after him. However, at this moment, the shield was gone, and even half of the saber was broken. The situation was tragic.
However, it was still chasing after Elder Gu. Gu Zheng could see that Elder Gu was basically unable to fight against the other party. Now that his body was almost finished burning, he could not hold on much longer. Otherwise, he would not have rushed over at such a fast speed.
However, at this moment, the black-robed priests below, after losing half of their subordinates, finally passed by Gu Zheng's Little Bird.
Since Gu Zheng saw it, as they passed by the white fireball, the little bird's body instantly rushed out of the package. It transformed back into its original shape in the sky, and in its original place, there was a ball of purple mist curling up inside.
"Hu"
A large patch of white flames erupted from the bird's body. A line of fire shot out from its beak, creating a huge wall of white flames on the ground. The raging flames were several meters tall, forcing most of the ghosts to stop in their tracks.
On the other side, when the black-robed old man saw that there were only a dozen or so ghosts following over, he did not say a word and led the Spirit Guards to counterattack, cleanly finishing them off.
On the other side, Little Bird suddenly took a deep breath, its body bulging. Then, a line of flames shot out from its mouth towards the ghosts in the sky.
A line of flames as thick as a tree rose into the air, enveloping most of the Specters in the middle. In less than a breath's time, the line of flames disappeared from the air, and the already small number of Specters was emptied out, greatly reducing the pressure on the enemy.
After doing all this, Little Bird's figure suddenly flew towards Gu Zheng's direction. When it approached Gu Zheng, it turned into a red bracelet. With a flash in the air, it was already on Gu Zheng's wrist.
At this moment, Elder Gu also came close and saw the crumbling crystal. Overjoyed, he rushed towards that position with a ray of light in his hand, wanting to break a gap in one fell swoop.
When the Ghost General saw this, how could it do as the other party wished? If the other party could leave in just an instant, wouldn't all of its efforts over the past tens of thousands of years have been for naught?
The broken blade pointed to the sky, and the originally calm blood moon suddenly lit up in response. A layer of red light fell from above and rapidly fell. In the blink of an eye, it disappeared into the black hole above the mirror.
A blood-red light flashed across the surface of the mirror, and a ball of blood quickly condensed and rushed toward the aggressive light in the air.
Following a loud explosion, the two formed a small mushroom cloud in the air. Elder Gu's wish fell through because as the mirror was repaired, a beam of light also shone on the broken crystal.
Following a flash of light, the crystal that was about to shatter was completely repaired.
The entire mirror exuded an ancient and powerful aura. It was indeed a Xiantian treasure. However, the aura it exuded was somewhat unstable. It seemed that it had been severely injured and had not recovered at all.
At the same time, that silly Gu Zheng also disappeared into thin air. A ray of light fell from the mirror again, trapping Gu Zheng who had no time to dodge.
A figure slowly appeared in the mirror. This time, the figure condensed at an extremely fast speed, and didn't look as clumsy as before.
"Don't come over. Anyone who comes here will be duplicated. Just stay there and don't go outside to help." Seeing that the black hole had been repaired by a layer of blood-red light, the mirror had also recovered many of its powerful functions. Seeing that Xing Cai wanted to come over to help, he hurriedly shouted to stop her.
Xing Cai's figure stiffly stopped in place.
"Where else can you run to?" Elder Gu also stopped at the periphery and didn't enter the range of the mirror. He looked at the Ghost General who was chasing him from afar and mocked him.
"Zhong Li, it's impossible for you to get it. I'd rather destroy it than let you have your way." Seeing that the only way out was blocked, Elder Gu's face was full of despair. He took out a small bottle and crushed it before Gu Zheng could see what was inside.
"Wu!"
Following a low cry in the air, a heart-wrenching sadness arose in everyone's hearts. A wisp of black gas suddenly dissipated in the air.
"You … You actually dare!" Zhong Li's expression changed abruptly as he said in disbelief. "Hmph!
Why wouldn't I dare? What's wrong? Do you really think that I'm going to defend it to the death and give it to you? Wishful thinking. I'd rather destroy it than let you have your way! "Elder Gu said with a relaxed expression as if he had just put down a burden.
"Good, good. You're really powerful. Then I'll let you know what endless pain is!" Zhong Li said in exasperation.
"I was just about to say that. This time, I'll make sure you die here!" Elder Gu's body trembled, and a strong aura burst out from his body once again.
"I swear to follow Elder to death!" The black-robed elder's face was also ashen when he heard the sorrowful cry. At this moment, his expression was resolute. His body, which had lost all strength, also began to burst out with a strong aura. He looked at the ghosts that were led by the last Ghost General guard and charging towards them.
"Good, good. You know that you're going to die sooner or later, so you're actually willing to sacrifice your physical body. Let's see how much you can burn." Zhong Li glanced over and saw that it was the last struggle of the other party.
Elder Gu didn't waste any time talking to the other party. He directly charged towards the other party with a fierce aura, as if he wanted to perish together with the other party.
The people below did the same, but they were charging towards the army of ghosts below.
On the other side, Gu Zheng's expression was also solemn. When Elder Gu rushed forward, a wisp of voice transmission entered his ears.
"Young friend, we have no choice but to rely on you at this last moment. I hope that you can think of a way to find a crack at all costs. Not only can you preserve Lord Black Dragon's remnant soul, but once we lose, the two of you won't be able to leave here."
Only now did Gu Zheng realize that it was just a facade earlier, and the goal of doing this was to fight for the last bit of time for himself.
"Stand here. Don't go in. Don't help. Be ready to escape at any time!" Gu Zheng transmitted his voice to Xing Cai. At the same time, his figure broke free from the shackles.
Rather than saying that he broke free, it was more like a figure walked out of the mirror. The shackles automatically disappeared.
Gu Zheng looked at the figure that was exactly the same as him. Even the aura was exactly the same. His expression turned serious. In particular, there was a layer of black Qi on the surface of his body. It was the baleful aura that he had hidden deeply. He didn't expect the other party to be able to replicate this.
This was going to be a little difficult. He still had to break through that layer of tough defense. For a moment, Gu Zheng felt like his head was going to explode. But then, a strand of black Qi appeared in his hand. Against him, he naturally knew how powerful he was.
The other party gave him a strange smile. His figure instantly rushed over, and a fist mixed with strong astral winds was thrown towards him.
Gu Zheng didn't show any weakness. But no matter what, he had to test the waters. He also stretched out his fist and met the other party's attack.
The two of them instantly exchanged blows in the air. In just a short moment, under a group of phantoms, both of them had exchanged hundreds of blows.
This time, Gu Zheng's heart sank even more. This shadow had almost perfectly replicated everything about him. It knew almost everything that he was thinking. If it weren't for the scarlet eyes of the other party, it could even replace his existence.
"Hello, my main body's image!" While the two of them were fighting, the shadow of Gu Zheng suddenly transmitted its voice to Gu Zheng.
This was out of Gu Zheng's expectations. The sudden movement caused him to be exposed. Gu Zheng thought that the other party would take this opportunity to attack. He was already prepared to meet the attack. However, the other party didn't seem to see it and continued to attack Gu Zheng.
"You have your own consciousness!" Gu Zheng was shocked. Previously, he thought that the other party only had his own battle consciousness and was also a puppet controlled by him. He didn't expect that the other party was like an independent person.
"Of course. When I was fighting with you, I had already broken free from the greatest restraint of the mirror. However, I still couldn't escape the control of the bottom layer. Otherwise, I would have wanted to replace you." The shadow of Gu Zheng smiled evilly and said something that made Gu Zheng's heart tremble.
"Do you know about soup dumplings?" Gu Zheng suddenly asked.
"What's that? A kind of ordinary food? You're still thinking about this at this time? Shouldn't you be? Or was it that when I was created, I wasn't completely transformed? " A trace of doubt flashed across the shadow's face. Although it understood the meaning of Gu Zheng's words, it really didn't know.
Seeing that the other party didn't seem to be faking it, Gu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that it was because of his special reasons that the other party had his own thoughts.
"It doesn't matter. Anyway, I won't live for long. Since that's the case, I have to send myself away." When the shadow saw that Gu Zheng didn't answer his question, he didn't care. He leaned forward and attacked again.
"What should I do?" Gu Zheng asked in a deep voice. If he were in the shadow's shoes, he would probably do the same.
"It's very simple. Buy me some time and get closer to the mirror. I'll be able to analyze the defense on it and destroy it in one fell swoop. At that time, you'll have to leave quickly." The shadow suddenly pulled out a blood-red sword and launched an even fiercer attack at Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng did the same. The two of them started fighting above the mirror while the two of them paced back and forth near the mirror.
Although they were fighting fiercely and wanted to kill each other with every strike, Gu Zheng knew that this was just on the surface. In fact, there was no risk at all.
The shadow was already in a distracted state. It seemed that he had a mysterious connection with the mirror and was trying his best to break through it.
On the other side, Xing Cai was looking at them nervously. She didn't know what was going on, but looking at the other party, she could only stay where she was. She couldn't go up or go back to help. Just now, Gu Zheng had strictly told her to stay here.
Although she didn't know why, Gu Zheng had never missed a chance. So, she endured the torment in her heart and could only stay at the periphery.
"I can't hold on any longer. I'll take my leave first!" A roar came from behind Xing Cai. She turned around and saw the last red robe floating in the air. One of its eyes was already red, and the other one was faintly turning red.
After he finished speaking, he rushed toward the powerful ghost that was forced to retreat. This ghost had caused a lot of damage to them. Almost all the Spirit Guards had died tragically at the hands of the other party. Now, there was only one left, and it was because they had risked their lives to protect it. Only the Spirit Guards could cause enough damage to the ghost army.
That ghost also understood that the other party was attacking it. When the other party approached, it turned into a ball and wanted to leave, but it was tied up in place by a red rope.
"Want to run? I already expected it!" The red robe old man said with a sinister expression. Then, he rushed to the side and exploded.
"Boom!"
An earth-shattering explosion rose up. Those attacking ghosts were also destroyed by the powerful force and were temporarily unable to continue attacking.
"Weng!"
Following a trembling sound in the air, a pure blue water screen appeared in front of the black robe people and blocked the huge aftershock of the blood attack.
The black robe old man was about to resist when he saw this scene and looked behind him in astonishment.
They had also heard Gu Zheng's words just now and felt uncomfortable. They had their people stand there and not go forward to help. They also didn't help from the back. They just stood there and looked at both sides.
This time, they saw Xing Cai waving her hand. Then, a drizzle fell from above their heads. When the raindrops fell on their bodies, not only did they recover their physical strength, they also healed some of the injuries on their bodies.
After looking at Xing Cai gratefully, he thought for a moment, then grabbed the unconscious youth beside him and threw him in Xing Cai's direction.
"Miss Xing Cai, if it's possible, take this youth with you. The poison in his body isn't deep. Even if the spiritual artifact controlling us is damaged, he won't die like us. Maybe he can be saved outside!" The black robe priest transmitted his voice.
No matter what, that youth called Gu Zheng seemed to be very confident that he could get out. If it was really possible, he would take away as many as he could.
Xing Xing caught the unconscious youth and placed him on the ground. He nodded at the black-robed old man. After checking his injuries, he fed him a pill. Then, a layer of blue light appeared on his hand, and he began to give him a simple treatment.
"Are you done? That side can't hold on any longer." In such a short period of time, Gu Zheng had heard Elder Gu's questions again and again. Each time, he was more anxious than the last. The remnants of his body had already been burned, and he couldn't stop the other party.
"Of course I'm done. However, I need to remove the seal in my body. Otherwise, if the other party catches up, you will die." The figure said expressionlessly.
"What? You want to die?" Gu Zheng was shocked and couldn't help but say.
"I will die sooner or later. Why should I let the other party have an easy time?" A cold smile flashed across that figure's lips. "Actually, you also understand that you almost used all of this. But you're just thinking about it. You still have to move forward. Don't you know that you've already experienced enough in this world? If you continue to linger on, who will you cultivate your cultivation for?"
"Let me tell you, after this matter, you should take a break and think about your experiences over the years. Although it is just a moment for me, you will know if you think about it carefully. It is only beneficial for you. I have paid a huge price. It is something you will never dare to imagine and will never do."
A smile suddenly appeared on the figure's face, causing Gu Zheng to be stunned.
"After five breaths, the crystal at the top that reflects the red light will explode. You only have ten breaths of time, which should be enough. As for that Little Goblin, I will deal with him. I will let him know that not just anyone can copy him. I will make him pay a price that he will never imagine!" The figure, Gu Zheng's face, began to turn ferocious. A violent aura suddenly erupted from his body, as if a demon was being released from the depths of his heart.
Gu Zheng's figure was instantly blown away by that aura. However, he didn't have the time to investigate what this figure meant. He hurriedly notified Elder Gu. Then, he saw Xing Cai healing someone. He instantly rushed over and grabbed Xing Cai's shoulder, and said in a deep voice.
"Let's go quickly!"
"This person?"
"Take him with us!"
Gu Zheng made a grabbing motion, and the young man's body instantly floated up. An invisible force pulled his body, and he followed behind Gu Zheng, flying into the distance.
Only three breaths of time had passed. When they were halfway there, Gu Zheng looked at the crystal. It was slightly red before, but now it was completely red. It was a bit out of place when compared to the transparent crystal next to it.
"Puchi!"
The sound of air leaking could be heard from the red crystal. When Gu Zheng arrived, the red crystal seemed to leak air and disappeared in front of Gu Zheng and the others.
A passage that was big enough for three people to walk side by side appeared in front of Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng glanced at the overjoyed Xing Cai, and without saying a word, he rushed in with them.
Layers of pure white light came from the teleportation formation below. There were complicated runes carved on it. Gu Zheng didn't immediately go down because he didn't see any place to step on.
Of course, that wasn't the main reason. The main reason was that Gu Zheng was unable to sense the nodes here. In other words, even if this teleportation formation was right in front of him, he wouldn't be able to activate it.
"Whoosh!"
Just as he was thinking, a figure rushed in from behind. Seeing Gu Zheng in a daze, she hastily called out.
"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and follow me. "Elder Gu only paused for a moment before flying towards the center. Gu Zheng and the others quickly followed.
Just as they landed on the ground, the teleportation formation suddenly shone brightly. Dazzling rays of light rose into the air. It was unknown how she did it, but the teleportation formation had already activated.
"Don't even think about leaving!"
A black light rushed out from the tunnel and attacked Elder Gu, who was preparing to teleport.
With a light bang, a trace of blood was left on the ground. Gu Zheng's group instantly disappeared from this place.
"Get out of my way! I'm your master! " When Zhong Li saw Gu Zheng's figure standing in front of him to block his path, a frightening energy fluctuation emerged from his body as he threatened.
The passage had disappeared, but as long as he followed the spatial fluctuation, he would be able to catch up to them. His final attack had not only heavily injured them, but also prevented them from destroying the teleportation formation.
"No one dares to be so arrogant in front of me, Gu Zheng!" Gu Zheng's figure looked at Zhong Li. A black flame appeared in his eyes, and he charged at Zhong Li like an ancient divine beast.
"Since you dare to offend me, my main body can't do anything. Let me use your life to tell you that some people can't be casually spied on!"
A huge shadow appeared in the sky and charged toward Zhong Li, who was trembling in fear.
