Hearing Gu Zheng's shameless words, Uncle Gao felt a burst of anger in his heart.
Even if he could use his own cultivation to survive, he would rather die than return to the world of mortals.
"How about it? This is the greatest grace I can give you. If it's not possible, then you won't have any more chances. "The Cloud Desolate Sword in Gu Zheng's hand once again emitted a hazy light as he spoke to the other party.
"My choice is that it's impossible!"
When Uncle Gao spat out the last word, the bamboo on the entire island made a 'shua' sound as green light filled the sky.
Gu Zheng seemed to understand the other party's thoughts. Almost at the same time, his palm slapped the bottom of the Cloud Desolate Sword and rushed towards the other party.
However, when the sword light flashed, it only broke the illusion left behind by the other party.
Gu Zheng narrowed his eyes and looked around. He discovered that his surroundings had already turned into a world of green. He was in the middle of an innumerable bamboo forest.
At this moment, the innumerable bamboo forest was frantically growing. In just a few breaths of time, it had already become as thick as a ten thousand year old tree. It was at least a hundred feet tall, and he was not even comparable to the smallest leaf.
Gu Zheng looked around vigilantly. If it was not for the fact that he had to cross such a long distance, he would not have wasted so much time talking to the other party. However, when he saw that this was the other party's lair, he understood that the other party would not admit defeat so easily.
Moreover, he did not believe that there was no defensive formation in the lair.
However, it did not matter. No matter what it was, he could just directly break it with brute force.
"Rustle Rustle"
The bamboo forest above began to rustle and tremble. Gu Zheng's ears instantly resounded with sharp whistling sounds. Countless leaves fluttered in the air as they flew down at an extremely fast speed.
Each and every one of them flickered with green light as if they were green blades exploding in the air. The thickness was so dense that it felt as if a wind wall was falling down from the sky, covering the sky and covering the earth as it attacked Gu Zheng. It was filled with constantly rotating wind blades. Accompanied by a 'weng weng' sound, it pressed down on Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng looked at the huge formation and finally revealed a disdainful sneer.
Gu Zheng threw out the red jade bracelet that he had just obtained. Its diameter increased by ten feet. It was surrounded by a dense layer of tiny flames. It was rotating like a wheel of wind and fire. It stood upright in front of Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng took a deep breath. Then, he blew in front of him again. Wisps of spirit energy that could be seen with the naked eye came out of his mouth. Then, they sprayed directly at the fire circle in front of him.
A layer of faint red shadow also appeared in the middle of the fire circle. After the Spirit Qi passed through it, it turned into palm-sized balls of flames and rushed up.
Gu Zheng's breath felt endless. Following the continuous transformation of the Spirit Qi, the area in front of him had already turned into a boiling sea of flames. Wisps of flames also flew up continuously from below.
Under the huge wind pressure of the other party, the flames on the body of the flames were constantly swaying. It was as if they would be blown away in the next second. However, even if the whole body of the flames was pressed down to less than thirty percent of its original size, it still stubbornly approached the other party.
When there was only a candle flame left on the wind wall, it could only helplessly pass through the body of the other party in the face of the sharp rotation of the other party. It was as if a red light spot had appeared on a green light curtain. It could not be removed no matter how hard it tried.
However, as the flames from behind continued to surge forward, the entire wall of wind was soon covered with red spots of light, causing the power above to suddenly stagnate. The flames from behind even more fiercely pounced forward, burning fiercely on the wall of wind.
As more and more flames appeared behind him, the wind wall in the sky finally stopped when it was less than three zhang above Gu Zheng's head. Moreover, the replenishment of the green light in the sky could no longer keep up. The flames that filled the sky began to surge upwards.
Gu Zheng, who had already stopped breathing, looked up. Then, he finally spat out a word coldly.
"Explode!"
The flames on the fire circle in front of him suddenly exploded. It wrapped the last of the flames and rushed up.
"Kacha!"
Following the sound of glass shattering in the air, the seemingly tough wind wall was immediately shattered by the countless flames on the body of the fire circle.
Not only that, but the flames did not dissipate. Instead, they scattered toward the surrounding bamboo. In the blink of an eye, the surrounding bamboo forest was burning with flames on the branches.
Plumes of thick smoke mixed with crackling sounds could be heard as those bamboos were burned to ashes in the raging fire.
Gu Zheng flew up and looked around vigilantly. He did not believe that the other party would not come out. He could feel that Uncle Gao was nearby. He could not just watch as his things were burned to ashes. If that happened, his figure would be exposed.
As expected, Uncle Gao naturally did not let the flames continue to burn like this.
In the midst of silence, many green light spots suddenly appeared in the bamboo forest. They were like fireflies. They flew toward the surrounding trees that were not burned by the flames and were only slightly burning.
Each and every one of the bamboos emitted a huge green light as they connected one after another.
Then, something that shocked Gu Zheng happened. The entire island began to shake. The source of the shaking was the bamboo that was engulfed by the green light. It started to be uprooted, as if it wanted to stand up.
"I'll let you see how powerful I am!"
In the distance, Uncle Gao looked at Gu Zheng with resentment. At the same time, he kept casting spells.
In the next instant, the bamboo that rose from the ground turned into balls of green light and gathered in the air. In the blink of an eye, a ball of green light the size of a house appeared in the air.
On the entire island, apart from the remnants of the bamboo that had not been completely burned, the rest of the place was full of potholes. The traces left behind by the bamboo looked very dilapidated.
The original tranquil and elegant atmosphere had completely disappeared. Moreover, the surroundings clearly changed. A sea breeze came from outside and the Smiling Path's defenses had already been broken.
Just as Gu Zheng was looking around, the green ball above his head had already undergone a new change. Countless sparkling and translucent green branches kept extending from it. Gu Zheng also noticed that Uncle Gao, who had just revealed himself, had disappeared.
Soon, a huge humanoid Tree Monster appeared in the air. It had countless bamboo leaves on its head, and it had two arms and two legs.
The Tree Demon, which was nearly five hundred feet tall, was like a huge mountain peak. Especially in the middle, there was a ghastly green eye that was constantly swaying and looking at him. About ten feet below, there was a huge mouth that was constantly biting and making "peng peng" sounds.
"Whoosh!"
As soon as the Tree Demon appeared, its thick arms swung left and right at Gu Zheng, who was in midair.
Gu Zheng did not want to try to fight this big guy head on. The opponent's attack was still in mid-air. Gu Zheng did not advance but instead retreated. He directly rushed towards the opponent's eye.
That green eye suddenly became motionless. At the same time, a green light gathered in the eye and quickly shot out towards a huge beam of light.
Gu Zheng looked at the opponent's green pillar that was even bigger than the well. This time, he did not dare to be careless. After all, the water dragon's attack was not on the same level as this one.
Facing such a stiff attack, Gu Zheng nimbly moved to the side and directly dodged it. After flashing twice in the air, Gu Zheng was already close to the opponent.
However, when that one eye saw Gu Zheng approaching, it immediately closed its eyes. At the same time, it bent its arm and grabbed towards Gu Zheng.
Looking at the thick layer of bamboo in front of him, Gu Zheng did not hesitate and directly stabbed at it.
A simple defense was not able to block the sharp Cloud Desolate Sword. Gu Zheng's attack went straight to the sword hilt. However, he did not feel like he had stabbed it.
"You think a thick enough defense is enough?" Gu Zheng coldly snorted in his heart. Ignoring the approaching claw, the golden sword in his hand suddenly lit up.
"Boom!"
On the tree demon's body, a one zhang deep hole appeared in front of Gu Zheng. Contrary to Gu Zheng's expectations, there was no eye in front of him, and he did not heavily injure the opponent either.
Meanwhile, on top of Gu Zheng's head, an identical eye peeked out. One could see the mockery in the eye.
However, Gu Zheng did not pursue the fact that the opponent could change its position at will. Instead, he took out his own weapon and turned around to slash at the puppet. The opponent's palm was already approaching at an extremely fast speed.
No matter how strong the opponent's palm was, Gu Zheng was confident that he could cut it in half with a single slash.
However, when the palm was about to reach Gu Zheng, the palm suddenly lit up. Bamboo branches emerged from the opponent's fingertips and densely spread towards Gu Zheng, completely blocking Gu Zheng's line of sight.
"Swish Swish"
Gu Zheng brandished the longsword in his hand, cutting all the bamboo branches that extended over into two halves. A rain of bamboo branches fell from the sky.
However, Gu Zheng also paid attention to the two huge palms. At this time, they were behind his bamboo branches and were still pressing towards him, but their speed was much slower.
However, Gu Zheng did not notice that behind him, in the big hole he created, a green light rose up. Then, a small branch grew out of it and whipped towards Gu Zheng's back at an extremely fast speed.
Gu Zheng was focused in front of him. By the time he realized that something was wrong behind him, it was already a little late. A yellow light rose from Gu Zheng's body and directly resisted the attack.
Since the opponent's attack was so hidden, it was definitely not that strong.
In fact, Gu Zheng's guess was right. When the branch heavily whipped Gu Zheng's back, it was blocked by the layer of protective shield. It did not break the protective shield at all. However, the huge force made Gu Zheng's body involuntarily fly forward.
And at this time, the two huge palms that were originally slow suddenly accelerated and slapped towards Gu Zheng. The broken bamboo branches also appeared again and wrapped around his body, wanting to entangle him.
Facing such a crisis, Gu Zheng controlled his body and followed the force behind him to directly crash into one of the palms. More than ten sword shadows were waved in front of him. Those bamboo branches that came in deep were turned into fragments that filled the sky. They were simply unable to get close to Gu Zheng's body.
And Gu Zheng looked at the huge palms in front of him. At this time, they were already clenched and heavily smashed towards him.
"Break for me!"
Gu Zheng roared and raised the Cloud Desolate Sword in his hand. Suddenly, a huge shadow slashed down from the sky.
"Rumble!"
Without any suspense, the fist in front of him was directly shattered into countless fragments by the sword shadows. Gu Zheng's figure directly rushed out from the fragments and flew towards the distance at an extremely fast speed.
Only when he was far away from the huge Tree Demon did Gu Zheng suddenly turn around. Looking at the Tree Demon, he vaguely felt some pain on his back.
The hole that was created by his own attack had already been repaired. Even the sword shadows that were shattered by Gu Zheng were also quickly condensing and had already been repaired by more than half.
Gu Zheng looked at his surroundings. What the hell was Uncle Gao doing by hiding nearby? Did he think that this Tree Demon could defeat him? That was too naive.
Just now, he thought that Uncle Gao was going to take advantage of the situation to launch a sneak attack. He had already prepared a surprise for him, but in the end, Uncle Gao did not come. This made Gu Zheng greatly disappointed.
Since Uncle Gao did not come out, then he would first kill the Tree Demon opposite him.
Gu Zheng stretched out his hand and the red circle in the distance once again turned into a mark and returned to his arm. At this time, there were already four marks on the arms. Now, only the wood attribute arm was still held by Uncle Gao.
After losing the effect of the ring of fire, the remaining flames in the bamboo forest began to fade.
However, Gu Zheng did not need these flames that were not very powerful because he had more powerful flames.
As the ring on his right wrist released a trace of red light, a little bird jumped out and began to circle around Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng chuckled and gently stroked the little bird's head. Then, he pointed at the Tree Demon that was floating towards him. The meaning behind his words was self-evident.
The little bird softly chirped and nodded towards Gu Zheng in a very human-like manner. Then, it spread its wings and flew directly towards the Tree Demon. The Tree Demon's huge body was not something it cared about at all.
Just as its body flew up, a milky white flame suddenly emerged from its body. At the same time, its body rapidly expanded until it was more than a hundred feet tall. Then, it stabilized its body. Looking from the opposite side, the tree demon's huge body did not have any advantage.
Gu Zheng even saw a trace of the Vermillion Bird's shadow in its eyes. Its eyes were also filled with arrogance. This kind of gaze would only appear when facing an enemy.
In mid-air, the little bird nimbly dodged the Tree Demon's attack. At the same time, it spat out a waterfall-like flame that drowned the Tree Demon. On the Tree Demon's arms and some parts of its body, raging white flames suddenly rose.
A layer of green light covered the Tree Demon's body at the same time as the flames, wanting to destroy the flames like before. However, when the green light came into contact with the flames, it was like adding oil to the fire, causing the flames to become even more powerful.
As the little bird circled around the Tree Demon, the huge Tree Demon had turned into a torch, burning fiercely.
However, at this moment, a dull sound came from under the island. The only room on the island also exploded with a loud sound.
Uncle Gao, who Gu Zheng thought was hiding in the surroundings, suddenly rushed up from below. At this moment, the Tree Demon's entire body was covered in green, like a crystal person. However, his face could still be vaguely seen. Who else could it be other than Uncle Gao?
Gu Zheng looked at the strange appearance of the Tree Demon and frowned unconsciously. The Tree Demon's strange aura seemed to have used some kind of method to transform itself into this.
Uncle Gao glanced at the burning Tree Demon and pointed his palm. A ray of green light instantly sank into the Tree Demon.
The struggling Tree Demon suddenly stopped moving. At the same time, its body emitted a green light that filled the sky. Then, countless green lights broke through the blockade of the flames and surged towards Uncle Gao.
Every time a ray of green light entered, Uncle Gao's body would expand a little. At the same time, his aura would become stronger. When all the green light disappeared, Uncle Gao's body was like a small giant. He was at least ten feet tall. It looked like countless green liquid was flowing in his body. It was a very disgusting sight.
"What the hell is this?!"
Gu Zheng looked at the thing that was neither human nor ghost. He had no idea how the Tree Demon used a secret technique to transform into this appearance.
However, when the little bird in the sky saw the enemy appear, especially when the Tree Demon was completely absorbed by the Tree Demon, it turned its body in the air and rushed towards the enemy.
The first to bear the brunt was a millstone-sized fireball that flew towards the enemy.
A green light flashed in Uncle Gao's hand. A wooden saber of the same size appeared in his hand. He directly slashed at the fireball. Before the saber's edge fell, the wind pressure actually extinguished the fireball that the Tree Demon couldn't do anything to.
The little bird was stunned. It didn't expect the attack that it was good at to dissipate like this. It let out a loud cry and its entire body turned into a huge flaming sword in the air, rushing towards the enemy.
Wherever it passed, the surrounding space violently fluctuated, forming visible ripples. It was unknown whether it was because of the high temperature of the flames or the strength of the Tree Demon itself. Perhaps it was because of both.
"Courting death!"
A hoarse and hollow voice sounded in the air. Uncle Gao held the wooden saber with both hands and fiercely slashed at the flaming sword flying towards him.
A world-shaking sound rang out in the air.
The huge flame instantly exploded, turning into a flood that drowned most of Uncle Gao. However, in just an instant, an intense green light rose in the air and suppressed the flame.
BOOM!
Another explosion rang out. The flaming sword's figure was actually sent flying by the enemy. That flaming figure spun and flew into the distance at an extremely fast speed. Gu Zheng saw that something was wrong and immediately summoned the little bird back.
The flaming sword turned into a ball of light and entered his arm from the distance.
CRACK! CRACK!
Under Gu Zheng's astonished gaze, a crack appeared on the surface of the Li Ring. The crack extended half its length. The light on the Li Ring's surface disappeared, and only a trace of its connection with Gu Zheng remained.
Uncle Gao's attack had actually followed the connection and damaged the Li Ring. If there was no way to repair it, then the Li Ring would be completely useless.
"Damn it!"
Gu Zheng really hadn't expected this result. Otherwise, he wouldn't have let the little bird test it. This made his heart ache.
"You will also die!"
The current Uncle Gao's strength seemed to be much stronger than before. However, to Gu Zheng, as long as you haven't broken through that level, then he wouldn't be afraid of the other party.
Thinking of this, Gu Zheng's figure soared into the sky and quickly approached the other party.
After dodging the other party's aggressive vertical slash, Gu Zheng arrived at the other party's left shoulder. Then, the Cloud Desolate Sword in his hand pierced upwards once again.
DING! DING!
BANG!
Gu Zheng felt the hardness in his hand. He didn't expect Uncle Gao's defense to be so strong in this state. Even his own attack couldn't break through the other party's defense. It only left a small white dot.
Gu Zheng didn't manage to pierce through the other party's defense. Uncle Gao's shoulder suddenly leaned forward and directly collided with the Cloud Desolate Sword. The huge force pushed the Cloud Desolate Sword back and directly hit Gu Zheng's body, sending him flying.
