As soon as Gu Zheng finished speaking, Kun Yu and the others quickly ran over with Leng Xin. In the blink of an eye, they hid behind Gu Zheng.
Xiao Ying's entire body retreated, and only then did she put away her nine-story pagoda. She also ran to the back and hid behind the ghosts.
Without the nine-story pagoda's obstruction, the vengeful spirits were stunned for a moment. In the next moment, they all rushed in like waves. It was as if there was an endless stream of them.
"Go to hell!"
A golden light flashed in Gu Zheng's hand. Then, countless blue flames appeared in the mirror in his hand.
In the next moment, a huge fire dragon instantly shot out from Gu Zheng's hand. The blue flames that were several feet wide almost covered half of the room.
As for the remaining gaps, Gu Zheng could completely cover them with a slight movement.
After the vengeful spirits were burned by the blue flames, they screamed in pain. In less than ten breaths of time, they were burned to ashes. They couldn't even get close and died halfway.
When Gu Zheng saw this, he also let out a sigh of relief.
In fact, when he saw the four mirrors and the blue flames coming out of them, Gu Zheng knew that this spirit formation was specially designed to restrain the other party. This was because the blue flames were targeted at ghosts.
Now, the four mirrors were already shining. The blue light was like the blue flames that flowed around them. Moreover, it was supplying energy to the spirit formation on the ground. The spirit formation continued to charge the mirror in the middle through a special transformation, continuously releasing blue flames.
"This is really a blessing in disguise." Xiao Ying finally felt relieved when she saw the ghosts coming in one by one and being burned to death.
Even the ear-piercing cries of the ghosts couldn't hide the joy in her heart. She immediately took out a precious pill. After the blood-red pill was thrown into her mouth, it began to quietly recover.
In just a short while, hundreds of vengeful spirits had already died here. However, the speed at which they came in had slowed down. As if they understood how terrifying this place was, some of the vengeful spirits actually hesitated and retreated.
The blue flames in Gu Zheng's hand became stronger and stronger. However, there were more and more gaps in the surrounding area. Gu Zheng didn't have to be careful to control them and block some of the vengeful spirits that rushed in from the side.
The originally scattered flames were now faintly condensing towards the blue pillar of light. Although the range was much smaller, the power had increased by several times.
Now, as long as the blue pillar of light focused on the vengeful spirits, they would dissipate in less than a breath's time. Therefore, this place was very safe.
Moreover, the flames were pushed forward fiercely. Originally, they could only reach the wall, but now, they could reach half of the room.
After exterminating over a thousand of them, the vengeful spirits could no longer hold on. They no longer took half a step into the room. Instead, they glared at Gu Zheng from outside.
However, as the blue flames formed a thick circular pillar of light, it rushed out of the room and hit the opposite wall. Countless blue flames spread to both sides, causing the enemy to suffer heavy casualties.
The vengeful spirits finally left the place and went back the way they came.
After Gu Zheng sensed that they had retreated, he wanted to put away the blue flame, but he found that his hand could no longer hold it down. It was like a magnet that was firmly attached to it.
"What's wrong? Young Master Gu! " Kun Yu also noticed Gu Zheng's abnormality. After realizing that the other side was gone, Gu Zheng was still controlling the blue flames to shoot at the opposite wall.
"It's okay. In order to prevent the other side from letting down our guard, we just have to wait a little longer." Gu Zheng said, but in his heart, he was thinking of a way to break free.
However, after trying a few methods, Gu Zheng still couldn't take it down. He made up his mind. Since he couldn't take it down, he would exhaust the array's energy.
At this time, Gu Zheng saw that the four mirrors around him were far less dazzling than before. In addition, the blue pillar of light in his hand was still increasing in power. He estimated that it would run out of energy soon. At that time, he could naturally come down.
It wasn't that he couldn't escape, but if he forcefully took it down, it would easily cause the array to explode. He would be fine, but Kun Yu and the others might not.
Therefore, Gu Zheng could only use the stupidest method, which was to continue shooting at the wall in front of him.
However, an accident happened again. Because Gu Zheng didn't know how to close the array, the array finally reached its limit and started to release its strongest attack.
As the mirror in Gu Zheng's hand suddenly flashed, the blue pillar of light suddenly intensified. The surrounding array's energy also decreased rapidly, as if all of it was rushing over.
When Gu Zheng realized that something was wrong, the blue pillar of light in his hand suddenly stopped.
"Bang, bang, bang, bang!"
Then, there were four sounds of glass shattering. An incomparably powerful aura flashed from the blue mirror.
"Kacha, kacha!"
Gu Zheng saw that the mirror in his hand started to crack rapidly. The four blue flames inside fused together. A bad premonition arose in his heart. He immediately shouted to the back.
"Be careful!"
"Bang!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the light behind him just rose. A huge explosion was emitted from the mirror. Countless blue mist burst out from the mirror. At the same time, the entire mirror turned into dust in the air.
A blue pillar of light that was several times thicker than before instantly burst out. It followed the previous trajectory and continued to bombard.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
The earth quaked and the mountains shook. Just as Gu Zheng suspected that the surroundings were about to collapse, the intense quaking finally stopped.
"Are you guys alright?!"
A gust of wind blew in the air and instantly blew away the surrounding smoke. At the same time, Gu Zheng's voice rang out.
"Young … Young … Master Gu, look behind you!"
As the smoke dissipated, Kun Yu's face looked as if he had seen a ghost. He pointed behind Gu Zheng and stuttered to Gu Zheng.
It wasn't just him. Everyone was like that.
Seeing this, Gu Zheng quickly turned around. His mouth was also agape. His pupils quickly shrank a few times.
Because a tunnel that could fit two people walking side by side appeared in front of them. It was formed by the powerful blue pillar of light just now.
More importantly, at the end of this tunnel, there was a blood-colored space. Countless sparkling blood-colored light spots slowly fell from the sky. A huge blood-colored crystal was suspended in mid-air. However, it had already been shattered into two pieces.
Under the blood-colored crystal, there was a huge blood-colored cage. Unfortunately, through the gap, they could clearly see that Ji Yi and the rest were imprisoned inside.
They could also see that the other party was also looking at them in shock.
They didn't expect that this attack would actually create a place where they were imprisoned. What a coincidence.
"Crash!"
As the blood-colored crystal above shattered, a long sword that was sealed inside also fell from the sky.
"Let's hurry and go in." Gu Zheng instantly made a decision and said to everyone.
At this time, the Shura people would definitely be alerted. Before the Shura people reacted, they had to rescue them first.
On the other side, Kun Yu and the rest supported Leng Xin and followed Gu Zheng forward. In a very short time, they had passed through the newly opened tunnel and entered the blood-colored cave.
When they got closer, they discovered that there was actually a huge blood-colored pool above them. It was strangely bubbling and bursting, releasing clouds of blood-colored Qi. It hung above them as if they were walking on flat ground.
A blood-colored chain fell from the sky and suspended the cage in mid-air.
"Gu Zheng, how come it's you?!"
Ji Yi couldn't help but shout. He didn't expect that when they met again, it would be in such a place and under such circumstances.
"I just happened to pass by and heard that you were captured by them again. How unlucky."
Gu Zheng said as he tried to attack the chain above them.
With a flick of his hand, a sword light instantly rushed up.
With a clang, the sword light dissipated and the cage below shook slightly, causing the people inside to cry out in alarm.
However, the sword light of the chain was out of Gu Zheng's expectations. He didn't hold back and it wasn't damaged at all.
"How come some of you are missing?!" Kun Yu, who was at the side, couldn't help but ask after taking a closer look.
That was because the other Master Ming wasn't here. Moreover, there were a few familiar figures who were also missing.
"Two days ago, Master Ming and some others were sacrificed by the Shura people. For the sake of that sword, if you came two days later, I'm afraid that even more people would have disappeared." Ji Yi bitterly smiled as he looked up and said.
"How could that be?! I didn't expect that we were still one step too late. "Kun Yu said in shock. He finally understood why the Shura people were gathered here.
"Of course, it's for the sword below. It seems that they want to completely control it. However, it seems that the Shura people's plan has failed. The blood crystal has been destroyed by you." Ji Yi looked at the sword below and explained.
"Don't worry, Master Ji and friends. Young Master Gu is thinking of a way to save you." At this time, Zhou Xuan also said.
At this time, there were a lot of people inside, but all of them had their cultivation sealed. From their dispirited expressions, it was obvious that they had suffered a lot before.
At this time, Gu Zheng had already soared into the sky. He held the weapon in his hand and slashed it fiercely.
An extremely loud sound rang out in the air. Even Xiao Ying frowned and covered her ears.
However, to Gu Zheng's disappointment, he only managed to cut a gap that wasn't much bigger than a grain of rice. Moreover, under the bloody light above, the gap was recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"What the hell is this thing? Why is it so hard? God knows how long it will take to break it." Everyone saw this scene. Pang Chao said helplessly from below.
The whole cage was filled with this kind of blood lock. Even Gu Zheng was somewhat helpless, let alone the others.
Seeing this scene, Ji Yi thought for a moment and said, "Gu Zheng, why don't you try the sword below? Although it looks very ordinary, if Shura spent so much effort to capture it, perhaps there is something special about it."
"You want to take my sword? Dream on."
Just as Ji Yi's voice fell, a figure suddenly rushed out from the outside passage. With a stretch of his hand, the sword below flew back into his hand.
A bloody light appeared in his hand, covering half of the sword with the color of blood.
"I didn't expect that when I just went out to send someone off, there would be vermin in here. If it wasn't for that explosion, I wouldn't have noticed. You guys are not bad. You even turned me into an ordinary blood crystal and destroyed it."
A man in blood-red clothes with a somewhat sinister face appeared. Although he had a smile on his face, anyone could hear the uncontrollable anger in his voice.
"Gu Zheng, be careful. The other party is Shura, the black shadow who stayed behind to guard this place. He specializes in blood poison and is very sinister and vicious. His cultivation is about to break through to the early stage of the Grand Heavenly Realm. He is very powerful. We were ambushed by him and caught back. He even injured one of our elders." Ji Yi shouted from the side and reminded Gu Zheng.
"Thank you for the compliment. But now that we have your fresh souls, we can successfully refine the Cloud Desolate Sword in one go. Even if we lose something, it will be good." When the black shadow heard the other party's' compliment ', he happily accepted it.
"Eh? You guys are also cooperating with the other party? Or are they hiding something from us? " The black shadow looked around. The few soldiers were nothing to worry about. When he saw Xiao Ying, he was slightly stunned. Clearly, he didn't expect to see a familiar aura at this time.
"You guys retreat to the back. Be careful of the other party's people. At the same time, think of a way to release them." Gu Zheng said to them with a serious expression. At the same time, he took a step forward and stood in front of the black shadow.
Since he was discovered by the other party, he had to deal with the other party first.
"Haha, do you need help?" Suddenly, a female voice sounded in the air. Then, not far away from the black shadow, a beautiful woman flashed out from the side.
When Gu Zheng saw the person's face clearly, he was shocked. Not only did the other party break through to the Grand Heavenly Realm, he was also shocked that she appeared here.
However, at this time, he had already changed his appearance. Looking at the other party's appearance, she probably recognized him.
"Miss Pan, didn't you already leave? Why did you come back?" The black shadow looked at Pan Xuan and said impatiently.
"It wasn't because you left in a hurry. Plus, the commotion was so big. For the safety of this place, I had to come and take a look. If you didn't manage to guard this place, it would be a joke." Pan Xuan seemed to not hear the other party's impatience and laughed.
"No need. I can deal with this here. You should leave quickly. Let me tell you, I spent a lot of effort to lure this sword out. So, I should be the one to guard it." The black shadow said seriously. At the same time, he held the sword in his hand tightly.
"Since that's the case, I'll leave first. I don't want to hear any bad news about you."
Following a series of footsteps, more than ten Asuras under Jin Xian finally rushed over. Pan Xuan looked at them and continued.
"Take care. I won't send you off!" The black shadow couldn't wait for the other party to leave.
Pan Xuan chuckled again. Her gaze inadvertently swept past Gu Zheng. A blood door rose in the air, and in the next moment, her figure disappeared from this place.
"Lord Black, should we mobilize the army to annihilate them?" At this time, one of the Asuras asked the black shadow.
"There's no need for that. Go and bring the newly transformed Evil Dragon over. Then, send a group of people to bring the vengeful spirit over. This time, I want to use this fresh spirit to refine the Desolate Cloud Sword in one fell swoop." The black figure said without looking.
"Yes!"
When the Asuras heard this, they hurriedly followed the path they came from and left. Only the black shadow was left.
Seeing this, Gu Zheng inexplicably let out a breath of relief. Fortunately, the black shadow was somewhat arrogant. If Pan Xuan really attacked him together, he would have to consider how to leave.
The black shadow was confident that he could deal with them. This gave him an opportunity to not be distracted. He could use this opportunity to deal a heavy blow to the black shadow first.
Gu Zheng thought to himself. He turned the weapon in his hand, turning it into a golden blue streak of light that soared into the sky. It spun in the air and suddenly expanded. A giant golden sword that was hundreds of feet long appeared above him, slashing down at the black shadow.
The huge golden sword had not yet fallen. Tens of thousands of feet of golden light were like streaks of Sword Qi that pierced downward.
The black shadow raised his head and looked up. The corner of his mouth revealed a contemptuous smile. He then raised the Desolate Cloud Sword in his hand. On the originally ordinary long sword, traces of blood-red patterns rose from the edge of his palm.
Traces of cracks appeared on the surface of the long sword, as if it wanted to break free from the ordinary clothes on the outside and bloom again. However, when the blood-red patterns were only halfway there, a golden light suddenly rose from the front half of the sword and blocked the blood-red patterns. The transformation process of the long sword was also interrupted.
"Hmph!"
The black shadow coldly snorted. His face revealed a look of indifference. He then raised his hand and pointed the long sword in his hand upward. Strands of blood-red sword light faintly emerged from the sword. It looked very ordinary.
However, when the tens of thousands of feet of golden light neared and collided with the red sword light, it silently disappeared. It was like a drop of rain falling into the sea. It did not cause a single ripple.
This caused Gu Zheng's pupils to shrink. He increased the strength he exerted on the huge sword above him. The entire sky emitted whistling sounds as the sword arrived above his head with the force of ten thousand kilograms.
"Break for me!"
At this time, the black shadow withdrew from his indifferent state. The long sword in his hand fiercely slashed upward. At the same time, he shouted.
"Clang!"
A golden light suddenly exploded in the sky. However, half of the blood-red trace instantly streaked across the sky.
A very clear sound rang out. Gu Zheng's face changed. Instantly, his face flushed red. Traces of blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth.
As the sound continued to reverberate in the cave, two rays of light fell from the sky and powerlessly fell to the ground.
Gu Zheng's weapon was actually cut in two by the opponent. This was something that had never happened before.
Not to mention that every flying sword was not ordinary. Moreover, every one of them had been refined by Gu Zheng. There was no need to mention how hard they were.
However, the opponent did not seem to use much strength and actually cut the weapon in half. Even through the connection, Gu Zheng suffered a small loss.
"If it was other weapons, I wouldn't be so sure. But this is a sword!" The black shadow raised the long sword in his hand as if he was admiring it. Looking at the Cloud Desolate Sword that did not suffer any damage, he praised.
"This sword is the king. Other than those special swords, all the swords in the world have to float in it."
"Bullshit. That weapon was just added with a supreme sword intent. It's just that when facing a sword that's not as good as yours, it will greatly neglect the other party's material." Ji Yi who was behind him immediately said loudly. These days, he had also studied this place. In addition to the other party's test, he had already figured it out.
"So what? You don't understand at all. If I can completely subdue this Cloud Desolate Sword, then I can completely cut it in half without using sword intent. It's your honor to be able to contribute to this Cloud Desolate Sword." The black shadow glanced at Ji Yi and then looked at the Cloud Desolate Sword in his hand with infatuation.
"You won't have that chance!" A voice suddenly sounded from outside. Soon, Gu Zheng saw a familiar figure walk in.
