"Hehe, if you don't hurry up, then I'll take your bamboo forest!" Ren Xue's voice sounded in the air again.
"Speaking of which, your mature Green Bamboo is not bad. Why do I feel a little familiar? It seems like something you stole."
"Hmph, nonsense. You're just a little flower demon. What are you trying to do? Don't think that I won't be able to find you just because you're hiding. I'll let you know how powerful I am." Uncle Gao suddenly pinched, and the green bamboo in front of him began to shake.
Although the bamboo was small, its aura was not ordinary. Just the shaking of its body made a sound like a breeze blowing through the sea of bamboo. Green light rose from its body and shot into the bamboo forest in the sky.
The thick bamboos began to tremble. Their roots, which had originally sunk into the void, began to rise from the ground. Some of the damaged branches began to fall off, while the undamaged branches quickly gathered together under the encirclement of the green light.
And the whole body underwent earth-shaking changes. It actually grew thick limbs and a square head. It looked particularly strange and uncomfortable.
In just two breaths, ugly treants that were dozens of meters tall appeared in the sky. This was completely different from the ones that harassed Gu Zheng before.
Each of them was emitting an extremely strong aura, like a puppet army.
However, the formation of the treants also allowed Gu Zheng to see the situation inside clearly. Those flowers from before still did not bloom, but they were constantly spitting out spores that spread in all directions.
However, these spores were completely useless against the treants now, because those treants were covered with a layer of green shield. They could not stick to it at all. Instead, they were shattered by the strength that leaked out from the treants' side.
Those spores were too fragile.
And as soon as these acquaintances took shape, they did not say anything. They raised their ugly and irregular arms and then grabbed those flowers in the sky.
More than a dozen flowers were caught off guard. They were instantly grabbed by those hands. Then, the other party clenched their fists fiercely. In the wide palms, sharp bamboo spears emerged from the stone pillar-sized fingers. They were like steel needles, densely packed and almost did not leave any blind spots.
"Puchi"
A pink weapon emerged from the flower's body. It was like a tough shield that blocked in front of its body. However, it only lasted for two breaths of time before the bamboo spears pierced through it.
Streams of thick, blood-red liquid flowed out from within, and the flowers dissipated, turning into a layer of dried flower skin.
Seeing this situation, Ren Xue, who was hiding in the dark, naturally understood what was going on. Immediately, her hand changed, and the flower that was dodging in the air quickly squirmed. Petals quickly bloomed, and at the same time, its body grew several times larger, becoming the size of a small room.
Although it had grown bigger and was unable to avoid the other party's grasp, the sharp teeth in its mouth bit down on the other party's thick arm as it watched the other party's hand coming at it.
"Kacha"
The sound of wood breaking resounded throughout the sky. Pieces of arms fell from the sky and smashed onto the ground, causing it to tremble incessantly.
The gigantic man-eating flowers in the air were now chasing after the treants.
However, even though Fang Ya had the upper hand, he could only face one of them at a time. After suffering some losses, he immediately changed his strategy. When the man-eating flower was faced with a pincer attack from both sides, it was somewhat helpless.
The losses on both sides began to increase at almost the same time, and it seemed to have entered a stalemate.
Moreover, as the number above decreased, the speed of the losses on both sides slowed down.
Suddenly, rainbow-colored petals fell from the sky again. Upon closer inspection, there were seeds attached to the petals, which were emitting five-colored light.
However, at this moment, Uncle Gao's eyes flashed. He moved forward with lightning in his hand and pulled out the Verdant Bamboo in front of him. Then, he suddenly threw it to the side.
The Verdant Bamboo in his hand instantly disappeared into the void. In the next moment, it flashed over somewhere in the sky. It flashed with a cold light and stabbed forward.
Ren Xue's figure appeared in the air. She did not understand how the other party found her position.
However, facing the incoming attack, Ren Xue squeezed her hand and a seed shattered with a bang. It quickly expanded in the air.
A red flower that looked like a sunflower instantly appeared in the air. Then, the petals actually swallowed Ren Xue. The moment the Verdant Bamboo approached, the delicate petals instantly tensed up.
"Boom!" A loud sound rang out.
The Verdant Bamboo wrapped around Ren Xue fell down rapidly. Under such a fierce attack, it was not damaged at all. It was only knocked down by the huge impact.
Under the command of Uncle Gao, the Verdant Bamboo in the air immediately turned and chased after Ren Xue.
On the other side, Gu Zheng saw that Ren Xue was already unable to hold on. He had previously discovered the problem with Ren Xue's soul. She was basically unable to use her combat power. If she had completely recovered, it would probably take a long time for her to recover. As for improving, there was probably no hope.
His figure suddenly disappeared from the main hall's entrance. At the same time, he activated the red pattern key. A strong force constantly surged through a mysterious link. Not only did it allow his cultivation to continue to rise, there was also a force protecting his body to prevent him from exploding and dying from not being able to withstand this force.
In Elder Gu's mind, he could only give him this power. However, in reality, it was like a child suddenly having the power of an adult. He could not think of how much this power was and could not fully use it.
He only allowed him to use it to scare people and escape, so as to prevent him from accidentally dying outside.
Even if he attacked, although he could not control it, the real power could not be faked. At the critical moment, he could completely escape from a hopeless situation.
However, she did not know that he could fully use the power of a quasi-sage, let alone a mid-stage Grand Heavenly Immortal.
In the next moment, Gu Zheng's figure teleported from the void and appeared beside Ren Xue. With a gentle touch of his hand, the falling Ren Xue stopped in the air and did not retreat.
Then, Gu Zheng sent Ren Xue's figure to the back. Only then did he face the Verdant Bamboo that was speeding towards him.
"You're courting death this time." In the distance, Uncle Gao did not notice the change in Gu Zheng at all. He thought that the other party wanted to save Ren Xue but had to face the pursuit alone. He could not help but laugh.
A trace of disdain flashed in Gu Zheng's eyes. He clenched his palm into a fist. A faint golden light that seemed harmless quickly rose. Then, he punched out aggressively.
"Is this all you've got? Aren't you courting death …" Uncle Gao's smile deepened when he saw this. However, just as the word 'death' came out of his mouth, he could not say anything else.
A few golden runes suddenly jumped out from the air and revolved around the fist. Fine golden light appeared from the runes and shot onto the fist, causing the faint golden light that was originally lacking in momentum to suddenly burst out with a powerful light.
It was as if it was made of pure gold. That momentum made Uncle Gao tremble in fear.
"Isn't this brat Jin Xian at the peak? Is it an illusion? How can he launch such a powerful attack? "
Although this was what he thought, his mind still made the Verdant Bamboo fall faster. The light on it became even more intense. He was prepared to kill Gu Zheng with one strike.
Looking at the Verdant Bamboo that was about to arrive, Gu Zheng stretched out his fist and punched upwards.
"Boom!" a loud sound was heard!
A golden light pillar that was as thick as an arm instantly flew out from his fist. Golden runes curled around it, emitting a wave that made one's heart tremble.
The golden light pillar collided with the Verdant Bamboo above with a loud bang, causing a violent sound.
The void suddenly shook. Two rays of light rose in the air. The Verdant Bamboo emitted a large amount of green light. However, under the intense golden light pillar, it gave off a feeling that it was unable to withstand it.
"How is this possible!" Uncle Gao's eyes revealed a look that said he could not die. His eyes were fixed on this side.
Even Ren Xue, who had just come out, looked at Gu Zheng in bewilderment. If she was not mistaken, the other party's cultivation had reached the mid-stage of the Grand Luo Realm. He was even stronger than her.
In mid-air, the Verdant Bamboo began to be unable to withstand the attack. Its entire body slowly retreated.
When Uncle Gao saw this scene, he could not believe it. Along with the movement of the Verdant Bamboo, which was in a stalemate, instantly disappeared in the air. The violent golden light pillar instantly pierced through the sky. In the huge bamboo forest above, a passageway as wide as a person was forcefully pierced through.
Gu Zheng chuckled. When the other party had just put away the Verdant Bamboo, he looked at Uncle Gao in the distance. His entire figure flashed and instantly appeared above the other party's head. He punched towards him with his bare hands.
The entire heaven and earth rumbled. Uncle Gao even felt that the sky had darkened. In the next moment, an unparalleled force rushed down. Uncle Gao's outer layer of protection was crushed layer by layer and dissipated in the air. It did not have the slightest ability to stop it.
Uncle Gao's body seemed to have been injured by the force. His entire body trembled as he fell down rapidly.
However, Gu Zheng did not have the intention to let the other party go. The other party had almost played him to death. If he did not deliberately want to lure out Xiao Ye and the others, he would have died long ago.
Bang!
Uncle Gao, who had not yet fallen, was struck by Gu Zheng's fist. He turned into a ball of green light and exploded with a loud bang.
Gu Zheng looked at the green light filling the sky. It seemed that the other party had been prepared. No wonder he had been so careless and stood in the air. It seemed that he had wanted to lure Ren Xue out. It was just that he had found an opening first.
At this time, Gu Zheng's palm turned into a finger. A golden light flashed on it as he suddenly pointed at the sky.
Buzz!
A golden light flashed, and in an instant, a golden ripple surged out in all directions. Whether it was the sky or the ground, everything was enveloped by this strange ripple.
In an instant, more than half of the area had been explored by Gu Zheng. In the sky, where there was no one behind the tree demon, Uncle Gao's figure was there, holding the Verdant Bamboo in his hand.
Gu Zheng flicked his finger in the air. The golden light emitting the golden ripple was instantly pulled into a nearly transparent golden thread. It was only a foot long.
Then, with a light shake, this golden thread instantly rushed towards Uncle Gao in the distance with a whoosh.
The extremely dim golden thread was like an assassin. With a faint golden afterglow, it rushed forward silently.
On the other side, Uncle Gao's expression was solemn. He took out the green gourd in his hand again and muttered something quickly. A green light quickly condensed in the mouth of the gourd. As he pointed, a ball of green light rushed out from the gourd like a cannonball.
After doing all this, he did not even look at it. He threw the Verdant Bamboo in his hand into the air and it instantly spun in the air.
The remaining treants in the surroundings, regardless of whether they were intact or not, all turned into a ball of green light and merged into it.
The Verdant Bamboo's body began to expand. The emerald light was as dazzling as a small sun. Its body quickly swelled up. From the outside, a treant that was a few meters tall was quickly forming.
In particular, the extra branches and leaves on its body rustled and fell from its body and circled around it.
At this moment, the ball of green light in the air had already collided with the golden thread. With just one collision, more than half of the golden thread's body crashed into the green ball. The originally round green ball's entire body was even torn into an oval shape. Moreover, it was still being stretched extremely quickly.
However, the green ball's tenacity was very high. Its entire body was almost completely wrapped in the golden thread. Although the golden thread's huge force brought it flying towards Uncle Gao, it also greatly slowed down the other party's speed.
It slowed down its lightning-fast speed by more than ten times.
With this delay, the Verdant Bamboo transformed from the Verdant Bamboo was already floating in the air. Compared to its rough appearance before, it now looked more like a real person. Its entire body was flowing with green light. Its entire body was green, and even its eyes were green. However, its hair was surprisingly a small cluster of bamboo leaves.
It raised its four-fingered hand and grabbed. The surrounding branches and leaves exploded one after another, turning into balls of green light that condensed in its hand. The two of them held a relatively wide green wooden sword.
Green runes were engraved on the sword. An aura similar to the Verdant Bamboo's body wrapped around it, flashing with a sharp light.
"Roar!"
The Treant suddenly roared. It raised the long sword in its hand. Under the flowing light, it slashed towards the golden thread that had already broken through the green light. A green sword Qi instantly appeared.
A green light flashed in the air. The golden thread that had broken through was instantly cut by the Treant and dissipated in the air.
"Hmph!" Uncle Gao snorted coldly and shouted at Gu Zheng, "I don't know what kind of demonic technique you used to have such a cultivation. I'll wait for you to explode and die."
After saying that, the gourd in his hand suddenly swelled up and swallowed him. Then, it dissipated in the air.
Gu Zheng looked around with rapt attention, wanting to use the same trick to find the other party. However, the Treant in the air emitted a green light all over its body. Its originally tyrannical aura rose again. The green flames all over its body burned fiercely. A huge shadow that was hundreds of meters tall appeared behind it.
It was almost an enlarged version of the Treant. In its hand, there was also a green sword that matched the Treant's figure.
The Treant lifted its body in the air. The wooden island emitted a green aura that soared to the sky. It was almost covering the entire sky. This was because the huge shadow behind it also moved at the same time.
In the next moment, the Treant in the air slashed down with its long sword. Its hand was in a stance. However, the long sword in the hand of the shadow in the air flashed with a green light. A huge sword Qi slashed down with a loud bang.
The huge green light covered the sky. It was at least ten feet in size. Before it fell, Gu Zheng felt a pressure that was enough to threaten his life. He had no choice but to give up looking for the other party's trace.
Looking at the attack from above, Gu Zheng did not dare to be careless. His palm moved forward. A golden shield that was engraved with ancient runes was propped up from his hand. It directly blocked in front of him.
"Boom boom boom!"
That huge sword Qi fell. It heavily chopped down on Gu Zheng's seemingly weak shield. Suddenly, a wave of Qi violently spread out in all directions.
Gu Zheng's entire body was submerged in the green light. This made Ren Xue's heart tighten. She felt that Gu Zheng was a bit careless.
She did not dare to meet the Treant's attack. Not to mention Gu Zheng who had borrowed the power of others. Even if he had a strong power as a shield, he would at least be injured.
However, something that made her blind happened. That green light had not completely dissipated. A figure rose up from below and flew towards the sky.
Ren Xue saw it very clearly. Gu Zheng had actually met the attack head-on. He had even rushed back. From the looks of it, he did not suffer any injuries. This was simply beyond her expectations.
On this side, Gu Zheng had already flown in front of the Treant. He withdrew the shield in front of him and ruthlessly punched the Treant in front of him.
He already understood that if he did not first deal with this Treant, he would not be able to do anything else.
The Treant immediately used its wooden sword to block in front of its body. It just happened to use the back of the wooden sword to block the opponent's fist.
"Clang!"
"Kacha!"
The sound of something breaking rang out in the air. Although Gu Zheng's punch looked ordinary, the power contained within it was beyond the Treant's imagination.
The wooden sword in its hand broke in two at the same time. Its entire body was even sent flying by that huge power.
The Treant in the air suddenly roared angrily. It seemed to understand that Gu Zheng's power was irresistible. The shadow above its head suddenly shrank, turning into a thick bamboo pole that fell into its hand. It suddenly squatted in the air and instantly rushed towards Gu Zheng.
Bamboo shadows rose up in the sky. The Treant seemed to be going all out. In the blink of an eye, thousands of bamboo shadows fell towards Gu Zheng, sealing off all the places he could dodge.
Countless hurricanes rose up in the air. The surroundings were flashing with green light. Ren Xue, who had just wanted to help, once again retreated.
Her condition did not allow her to get injured. Originally, she wanted to show her face and vent her anger for many years. In the end, the limelight was snatched away by Gu Zheng. This indeed made her feel a little embarrassed. However, she also put away the last trace of pride in her heart.
A dazzling golden light rose up in the bamboo shadows. Gu Zheng's figure constantly shuttled back and forth. He touched every single bamboo. Looking at the crazy Treant in front of him that seemed to have lost its mind, his eyes flashed with a trace of understanding. It seemed that Uncle Gao had already left this place.
He was really a smart person. When he clearly knew that he was not Gu Zheng's opponent, he made a prompt decision. He didn't even take the precious treasures and quietly left just like that. He even threatened Gu Zheng before leaving. Gu Zheng did not expect it at that time.
Looking at the Treant that had no order at all, Gu Zheng's body accelerated again and instantly rushed up.
Along with the bamboo shadows that filled the sky dissipating in the air, a bamboo fell diagonally from the sky and was caught by a figure.
Gu Zheng looked at Ren Xue in the distance. His aura began to drop rapidly as he said with a smile.
"The other party has already left. It is safe now."
