In the middle of the hall, there was a large black cocoon in the middle. Under the surrounding blood-red light, there was an even more strange aura.
"Cough, cough, is everyone alright?" Ji Yi waited for the attack to pass before he came down from the shield. But just as he spoke, he coughed up a mouthful of blood.
"We're alright, at least we didn't die!" One of them replied. But from his weak voice, it was obvious that he was heavily injured.
Ji Yi looked around and saw that almost everyone was injured. The only thing worth rejoicing over was that no one had died this time.
At this time, the black wave had already disappeared, leaving behind a mass in the middle that surrounded Gu Zheng.
Just a little bit of the aftermath had such power. It could be seen how much power Gu Zheng had withstood. No wonder he had risked his life to defend.
But at this time, how was Gu Zheng?
On the other side, Song Shan was lying in a corner outside. He could barely sit up and feel the pain in his body. He wanted to go over and check, but he didn't have the strength. He hurriedly swallowed a pill that Gu Zheng had given him. Only then did he feel better.
He was too close to that side, so the impact was even greater. But the most miserable one was that hairtail. He was lying on the ground motionless, and there was a small pool of blood below him that had gathered into a small lake. He had fainted there.
That attack couldn't be distinguished clearly between friend and foe. Apart from that black shadow, who wasn't affected at all, even the surrounding shield trembled a little. Even the light on the stone tablet was dimmer than before.
"Ka Ka"
A cracking sound rang out. The layer of black substance fell outside layer by layer. Before it landed on the ground, it had already dissipated into a cloud of black mist.
A red figure was revealed, holding a sword in one hand and stabbing it directly into the ground below.
At this time, Gu Zheng was covered in blood. Drops of blood were still dripping down, and in the blink of an eye, there was already a pool of blood below.
"You can even block that. You really surprised me."
This time, the black shadow didn't look down on Gu Zheng like before. Even if it was just blocking that attack, it was worthy of respect. If it was him, he wouldn't be much stronger than him.
"However, you deserve to die even more!" His surprised face twisted in the blink of an eye. He grabbed the white bone sword in his hand again, and a blood-red light instantly rushed onto the sword. His whole body rushed forward, and turned into a blood-red sword shadow. With the momentum of a thunderbolt, he directly rushed forward.
At this moment, Gu Zheng was in his weakest state. Although he had sensed the other party's movements immediately, the waves of weakness that came from his body made him unable to move at all.
However, when he saw the red light explode, he willed and 12 bells instantly appeared above his head. At the same time, a huge phantom bell appeared in the air.
"Ding ling"
With a clear ringing sound, the light of the 12 bells dimmed, and even the phantom of the bells disappeared in the air.
However, halfway through, the black shadow suddenly felt a shock in his head, causing his entire consciousness to fall into a state of confusion. He actually stopped halfway and fell into a state of absent-mindedness.
Gu Zheng stood up, and just as he was about to take advantage of the situation to attack, he saw that the Cloud Desolate Sword in his hand was already soaked in his own blood. He discovered that the ordinary Cloud Desolate Sword seemed to be somewhat different.
Traces of blood-red patterns that were thinner than hair ran from the sword hilt to the sword tip. There was a vague pattern flickering on it, but it looked somewhat blurry. The entire sword gave Gu Zheng a feeling that it was about to peel off a layer of its outer shell, but it was just one step away.
Gu Zheng's heart was uncertain. If he went over now, he could definitely injure the black shadow. However, in his current state, it seemed that he couldn't block his attack. If he removed the seal on the outer layer of the Cloud Desolate Sword, perhaps he could directly break the barrier here and leave this place.
"Pu"
Gu Zheng instantly made a decision. He spat out another mouthful of pale golden blood. His originally pale face became even paler. His body slightly swayed, and he almost couldn't stand. He turned into a cloud of blood mist in the air and sprayed onto the Cloud Desolate Sword.
This was like the last straw. The entire Cloud Desolate Sword suddenly emitted a golden light that soared into the sky. It actually directly penetrated through here and entered the void above.
Soon after, the entire Cloud Desolate Sword's body lightly trembled and separated from Gu Zheng's hand. The entire sword body quickly spun in front of Gu Zheng. Layers of thin metal-like things fell from above, and the entire sword body seemed to have shrunk by one size.
However, immediately after, the golden light in the sky began to rapidly descend. Some seven-colored light mixed within, and Gu Zheng couldn't see anything clearly. Very quickly, the golden light merged into the Cloud Desolate Sword, and its body seemed to have returned to its original state.
"Kacha"
The Cloud Desolate Sword in front of him made a light sound. All of the light on its body suddenly converged, and once again fell into Gu Zheng's palm. That familiar feeling once again returned to Gu Zheng's heart. Furthermore, the two of them were even more closely connected, as if it was his left and right hand.
At the same time, a lot of information flowed into here. It was simple information regarding the Sword Mausoleum.
At this moment, this sword was completely different from before. It originally had an ordinary appearance. Other than the sword intent on the sword body, no one would pay attention to it. It was extremely ordinary.
However, looking at it now, on the cold sword body, there was a clear reflection of golden patterns. Upon closer inspection, it seemed to form a strange pattern, but it also didn't seem like it. The entire sword body looked even more powerful.
Especially at the handle, not only did it fit Gu Zheng's palm better, there were also two round holes that shone with a very familiar color that Gu Zheng was very familiar with.
In addition to the faintly discernible jade pendant at the back, one could see that it was extraordinary at a glance.
However, Gu Zheng could clearly see that there was a faintly discernible black Qi lingering within the sword body. It seemed that after so many years, there was still a trace of it that hadn't been completely eliminated.
It also slightly affected the performance of the Cloud Desolate Sword, causing it to be somewhat lacking.
From the time Gu Zheng spat out blood to the time the Cloud Desolate Sword flew back, only three breaths had passed. The others didn't even know what had happened. At this moment, the black shadow in the distance had recovered and was looking at Gu Zheng with envy.
Obviously, he didn't expect that Gu Zheng had actually removed the seal on the Cloud Desolate Sword. If it was before, even with Yu Zong's help, he could still take it back. However, it could be said that at this moment, the Cloud Desolate Sword completely belonged to him. Unless he died, it would be useless even if he took it away. How could he not be envious?
"So, you have to die!" The black shadow gnashed his teeth and said. His tens of thousands of years of cultivation couldn't even compare to the other party who came here to save people. If he let those people go in exchange for the Cloud Desolate Sword, he would definitely be willing to risk the punishment. Unfortunately, there was no 'if'.
Then, his entire figure dashed forward, wanting to kill Gu Zheng when he was at his weakest.
"You're too late." Gu Zheng chuckled. At some point in time, two red and blue beads had appeared in his hands. At the hilt of the sword, the two empty round holes had started to flicker with the same color of light at some point in time.
"Pearls of Water and Fire!" Behind him, Song Shan cried out. He never expected this.
Yu Zong, who had disappeared, had returned. Even the pearls that were taken away by the evil spirit were in his hands. Perhaps the Cloud Desolate Sword was really suitable for him.
At the moment when the black shadow moved, Gu Zheng buckled the pearls in his hands. A huge wave of air instantly rose from the Cloud Desolate Sword. Two red and blue rays of light shot out from the Cloud Desolate Sword, intertwining with each other in the air and rushing towards the black shadow.
The black shadow's figure was forced to stop in the air and quickly retreated. Just these two inconspicuous rays of light were enough to make him disappear from this world.
Gu Zheng wiped the corner of his mouth. Ignoring his injuries, he flew up again and slashed at the stone tablet again.
Facing the same red runes, this time, it finally could not block the Cloud Desolate Sword.
With a "pop", the barrier formed by the runes was instantly shattered. The stone tablet behind him was cut into two by the Cloud Desolate Sword as if it was tofu.
"You guys leave quickly. I'll hold him back!" Gu Zheng shouted at Ji Yi and Song Shan.
"We'll wait for you outside. Be careful!" Ji Yi did not waste time. After shouting, he quickly arranged for his men to rush up and disappear from this place.
Song Shan wanted to say something, but in the end, he sighed and followed behind Ji Yi. He also rushed up and left this place.
At this moment, in this huge hall, there was only Gu Zheng and the black shadow.
At this moment, the black shadow was running away in a very sorry state. He was chased by the two rays of light and did not even try to resist. He no longer had the cold aura from before.
Gu Zheng's eyes flashed. He looked at the opposite side as if he was thinking about something. But at this moment, in the depths of the tunnel, a loud dragon roar sounded again. It was as if the dragon was going to come out in the next moment, causing the determination in his eyes to fade.
"What a pity! It would have been better if I had more time. " Gu Zheng muttered in his heart. The Cloud Desolate Sword in his hand pointed slightly towards the sky. A golden light passed through the void and instantly entered the seven-colored vortex above.
With a "boom", the exit was immediately blown into a ball of scattered light.
After Gu Zheng completely blocked the exit, he quickly rushed towards another tunnel. When he left, the red and blue rays of light followed at the same time.
"What a smart guy. Who is the other party? Why did he help these people?" The black shadow who was originally running away stopped and looked at Gu Zheng's disappearing figure and muttered.
Until the moment the other party left, his body was tightly guarded against him. He even showed weakness, just so that the other party would attack him. He was 100% confident that he could keep him here.
Seeing that the other party was about to make up his mind, it was a pity that his people made the other party vigilant.
Looking at the disappearing tunnel above and the dying hairtail below, he could not help but curse again.
"You can't do anything right. Otherwise, how could you let the other party leave so easily?"
Although he said this, he still took out a blood-colored ball in his hand. There was a bright red liquid inside, and he directly threw it into the hairtail's mouth.
The heavily injured hairtail's body flickered with a red light. Its entire body quickly shrank and was kept by the black shadow.
This time, it was heavily injured. It would probably need to rest for a period of time.
Then, the black shadow let out a shrill cry. At the same time, he came to the edge of the tunnel and punched the wall.
The originally sturdy mountain wall was blasted into a small room as the rocks rolled down. The room was not big, and there was only an operating teleportation array.
"Deng deng deng."
The Shuras who had been hiding all appeared one by one, but none of them made a sound. Judging from the black shadow's ugly expression and the fact that there was no one around, it was obvious that the people who came to rescue them had already successfully rescued their people.
"All of you, go back. I want to go back and ask for forgiveness!" The black shadow looked at his subordinates and ordered indifferently.
One by one, the Asuras quickly walked in. Soon, waves of people left.
When only the black shadow was left, he was still there.
"Boom!"
The entire Sword Mausoleum suddenly trembled. Large pieces of stone continuously fell from above. It was clear that the Sword Mausoleum was about to collapse.
At this time, a black stone slab flew back from afar. Looking closely, it was exactly the same as the door that opened before. It was just smaller.
"So what if you destroy this place? We have already found the core of the Cenotaph. I will wait for you there. When the time comes, we will compete."
The black shadow did not reveal any surprise. Instead, he looked at the mountain peak and muttered to himself.
"Don't disappoint me! I will kill you with my own hands and take back what belongs to me. "
Following his last sentence, his figure also disappeared from this place.
.....
Outside the empty mountain peak, Leng Xin and Pang Chao who came out first anxiously looked at the cave not far away. After the last companion came out, no one else came out.
According to what the last person said, it seemed that when he was about to come out, something happened below. However, he did not see it clearly.
Everyone ignored their injuries and looked inside anxiously. They didn't dare to go over, because once they got close, they would be sucked in again. At this time, they were surrounded by the warning array that the Asura had left behind, as well as some traps.
After waiting for a long time, everyone was anxious. They wanted to go down and see what was going on. At this time, the remaining people inside rushed out again. Everyone was overjoyed.
"Lord Ji, what happened? Why are you so late?" Kun Yu went up and asked immediately.
"There were some symptoms, but fortunately, Gu Zheng solved it." Ji Yi was also a little anxious. He turned around to look, but unfortunately, all he saw were his own people. Even the unfamiliar Song Shan had come out with him, but he didn't see Gu Zheng's figure.
Although there was no problem with Gu Zheng coming out, he still felt uneasy without seeing him.
Now, it was everyone's turn to look at the cave quietly, waiting for Gu Zheng to appear.
However, as time passed, the person who had rescued everyone did not appear. Instead, the mountain suddenly shook, and a series of crackling sounds came from the periphery. Everyone looked over and saw that all the traps had spontaneously been destroyed.
"The Sword Mausoleum below is about to collapse. There will be an explosion here soon. Let's leave quickly." At this time, Song Shan who was standing quietly at the side suddenly said.
"But Gu Zheng has not come out yet." Ji Yi said expressionlessly. The others did not move. It was as if Ji Yi's words were their thoughts.
"He has come out. I can feel the Desolate Cloud Sword in his hand flying in another direction. Believe me, he might not want to meet you." Song Shan looked at this group of people. It was as if he saw his former companions in the same situation. He could not help but sigh.
"Is that so? Could it be that he does not want to meet us at all? " Ji Yi was disappointed. He thought that he could still catch up with Gu Zheng, but he could not even see him for the last time.
"Lord Ji, Young Master Gu originally came here for other matters. He just happened to meet us and decided to take action. Perhaps the other party's matter is a little urgent, so he didn't meet up with us." Kun Yu couldn't help but advise Ji Yi when he saw the surrounding space turning violent.
"Yes, yes. We have all come out. How can Young Master Gu not come out? Maybe he really has something urgent and left this place. Let's leave first. If he is done with his business, he might come back to find us. If we continue to stay here, I'm afraid we won't have any chance at all."
Pang Chao looked at the surroundings in fear and advised. He did not want to stay here at all.
"Alright, maybe that is the reason. Let's leave." Ji Yi retracted his gaze and led everyone away.
However, Song Shan did not follow them. After seeing them leave, he also found a direction and flew into the sky. He naturally had his own things to do.
Not long after they left, a shocking explosion occurred. The mountains within a radius of a few hundred miles were all flattened.
.....
On a vast plain, a team of over a hundred people was advancing at a moderate speed. However, no matter how slow they were, it was still equivalent to a Heavenly Immortal rushing at full speed.
"Stop. We will rest here for a moment."
In front of it was a pink jade flying carriage. It was only three feet above the ground. A graceful woman with a purple veil on her face pushed aside the veil in front of her and walked out. She felt the refreshing breeze around her and spoke to the people around her in an indifferent tone.
Although her voice was soft, everyone could hear it clearly. It was an unquestionable order.
The two blood-red pegasi that were pulling the two blood-red pegasi slowly decelerated after hearing the woman's voice. The entire group did the same and quickly came to a stop on the empty ground.
Everyone knew what they wanted to do even without being told.
The woman also slowly descended from the carriage. She stepped on the ground again and walked towards the back.
There was another flying carriage behind her. Other than the fact that it was blue, it was the same as the one in front. It was very luxurious.
She came to the side of the flying carriage and shouted softly.
"I wonder if Young Master Gu has woken up?"
