"What's wrong? I only used 20% of my strength. It seems that your strength is still a bit weak. "
Zhu Hun looked at Gu Zheng and added fuel to the fire.
"Humph."
Gu Zheng coldly snorted and didn't pay much attention to him. However, he didn't directly go up. After all, he had to go all out to face the other party. At this time, because of the previous eruption, he was quickly adjusting the fluctuations in his body.
"Since you don't want to move, then don't blame me for not giving you a chance." Zhu Hun also saw Gu Zheng's state at this time and laughed mischievously.
After he finished speaking, a Magic Staff appeared in his hand.
The staff was completely black, as if it was made out of black crystal. There was a frightening power hidden inside, and the top of the staff was a little different. Two things that looked like antlers were embedded on the top, and there was a black crystal in each of them. It looked like a mini deer's head.
He tapped lightly in Gu Zheng's direction, and there was a thunderclap in the clear sky. A bolt of black lightning instantly descended, arriving in front of Gu Zheng almost immediately.
However, at this time, a yellow shield was propped up. When the black lightning fell on it, it only set off a faint ripple. It didn't hurt Gu Zheng at all.
"Oh, your magic weapon is not bad. However, this is just an appetizer." Zhu Hun looked down in a new light. However, he didn't care at all.
As the black crystal in the deer eye lit up, a black cloud suddenly appeared in the sky. It was filled with thunder and lightning. It was as if the entire black cloud was made of black lightning.
"Myriad Thunder!"
Zhu Hun raised the deer staff in his hand and lightly shouted. As his voice fell, a ray of light suddenly emerged from the black crystal and went straight into the black cloud in the sky.
"Rumble!"
A loud sound of thunder resounded. The black lightning inside looked even more violent. There were continuous aftershocks coming from inside. The black lightning arcs seemed to be piercing through the void.
This time, Gu Zheng's expression changed. He immediately wanted to leave his position, but Zhu Hun seemed to know what he was going to do. He dropped his hand and a series of black lightning bolts fell from the sky, forcing Gu Zheng to stay where he was and resist the dozen or so black lightning bolts.
The power of the lightning wasn't very strong. It was just fast. Gu Zheng wasn't sure if he could block it in time. Even if he was hit, Gu Zheng was worried that he would be attacked like a storm. He couldn't give the other party a chance.
Even now, Gu Zheng couldn't see through Zhu Hun. Zhu Hun's cultivation was obviously the same as his, but he always felt that there were countless moves waiting for him. Unlike his previous enemies, even if they were strong, he still had some confidence.
This was truly a rare enemy. Thus, Gu Zheng had no choice but to be extremely alert and not make the slightest mistake.
Gu Zheng looked at the attack that was about to fall from the sky. He knew that he wouldn't be able to dodge it in time. He calmed down and began to block the other party's attack first.
In the next moment, the barrier around Gu Zheng was filled with intense golden light. It was impossible to see the situation inside.
Zhu Hun's mind moved, and the black cloud suddenly exploded into five black clouds of different sizes. Then a terrifying aura began to condense in the air. In just a breath's time, with a loud explosion, the entire world became quiet.
There was still a faint sound of wind, but now it was completely gone. It was as if time had stopped.
However, this scene disappeared in a flash. Next, five thick black pillars of light fell from the sky and shot towards Gu Zheng from different directions.
"Rumble!"
A series of loud noises rang out once again as the ground shook. Countless cracks continuously rose up from the ground and extended into the distance.
The powerful black pillars of light seemed to be endless. They didn't stop at all and continued to shoot downwards. A huge pit visible to the naked eye appeared and continued to expand.
Boundless ripples spread out in all directions, causing the entire space to tremble.
The core of the tree outside was also shaking. Just a little bit of the aftermath was enough to make it unbearable. Layers of green light were constantly shaking.
The three people who were fighting inside also stopped. They tried their best to stabilize their bodies. At the same time, they were frightened by the aura outside. They didn't expect such a big movement.
It wasn't just them. Even the interior of the tree spirit began to shake violently. All the space also began to shake.
On the platform that they had left earlier, most of them were happily looking at the treasures in their hands. Under the water, not a single Water Demon could be found. The brilliant water lotus seeds were also swaying.
At this moment, everyone was filled with gratitude towards Gu Zheng. Most of them had obtained something. Indeed, according to the order of merit, those with stronger cultivations had obtained decent treasures. Even those with weaker cultivations had obtained some decent medicinal pills. In short, most of them were satisfied.
Even if they were told to leave now, they wouldn't object. After all, they couldn't defeat the other party.
But suddenly, the entire space began to shake rapidly. Countless branches began to fall from above. It felt as if the entire space was about to collapse.
Just as everyone was panicking, some of the unlucky people who had stayed at the front, including Zhou Xuan, were all teleported here.
They didn't know what was going on, but a white whirlpool suddenly appeared on the side, emitting spatial power.
"Everyone, leave this place. This space is about to collapse."
A steady voice sounded in the air. Although everyone didn't know what was going on, they still left toward the passage.
After all, before Gu Zheng left, he had told them that the mission was complete. They would leave after taking the treasures.
"The senior tree spirit has woken up. That's great. I just don't know if Gu Zheng used the teleportation array." Zhou Xuan looked around and began to leave through the whirlpool. He said to his companions.
"I don't know. But the other party spent a lot of money. We thought it would take at least a few decades to get rid of this tough bone. Now, in just a short time, they've all been cleared out." Someone next to him pointed around and gestured for the others to look up.
There were still some treasures left. Seeing that almost everyone had obtained something before, everyone knew what had happened.
"Yeah. We didn't tell Gu Zheng before because we didn't want him to worry. This time, the other party spent a lot of money." Zhou Xuan shook his head.
At this time, the last few people who didn't want to leave were forced to leave by an inexplicable force. In the blink of an eye, only the few of them were left.
At this time, a figure descended from the sky. An old man with a white beard appeared in front of them. However, he seemed to be in good spirits.
"Senior tree spirit." Zhou Xuan saw the old man and immediately said respectfully.
"I don't have time to talk too much with you. I'll definitely do what I promised you. I'll go help your kid now. He seems to be at a disadvantage, but I can't fly through the space. I can only rush over from the outside. You can leave and go there." The tree spirit didn't waste time talking nonsense with him and immediately said.
"How can it be? Gu Zheng is at a disadvantage? "Zhou Xuan thought of Gu Zheng's battle record and was shocked.
"Of course, you don't know who he's dealing with. It's a person with an evil heart who entered the Black Prison with his body. The strength of the other party is not what you can imagine. So, I have to go help. I won't let my savior be killed." The tree spirit pointed at the passage and said to them.
"Senior tree spirit, I'll have to trouble you." Zhou Xuan saw the old man's nervous expression and immediately said. At the same time, he turned his head and said to his companion.
"Let's go back to the Star Alliance. The mysterious woman who suddenly appeared wants to make a comeback. We can't lower our guard. We don't need to get involved in the rest."
This was something that they had already decided on before. After all, a large number of people had come out this time. Although there were no enemies there, they still needed some people to take charge and manage the affairs.
The tree spirit saw that the other party also left and looked at the space that was still shaking. His expression became serious and he also left in a flash.
Without his final protection, the entire space began to gradually collapse. He rushed towards the place where Gu Zheng was.
On Gu Zheng's side, in just half a cup of tea's time, the powerful and terrifying black pillar slowly dissipated in the air. At the same time, the five dark clouds also completely disappeared from the sky.
Zhu Hun also heaved a sigh of relief. This time, he had used up a lot of energy. Even he couldn't hold on any longer. He looked down carefully, trying to find Gu Zheng's figure.
At this moment, a huge pit appeared on the ground within a thousand miles. The lonely tree heart floated in the air, still intact.
However, Gu Zheng's figure had disappeared. He couldn't help but frown. Although the attack just now could kill an ordinary early-stage Zenith Heavenly Realm expert, Gu Zheng didn't believe that the other party would die so easily.
While he was still carefully observing, a figure suddenly appeared silently in the air above his head. Looking at Zhu Hun below, the figure waved the weapon in his hand and slashed down.
The moment the danger appeared behind Zhu Hun, he suddenly turned his head and saw that Gu Zheng had already launched that fierce attack. The weapon in his hand had already turned into a huge golden sword. It seemed to be hidden in the void and couldn't be seen clearly. It slashed down towards him.
A feeling of being bound came from Zhu Hun's body. It made him understand that no matter what method he used, he couldn't escape from the space that was bound. He could only take the attack head-on.
However, he wasn't afraid at all. A sharp light flashed in his eyes. The dagger that had appeared in his hand out of nowhere once again flashed with a black light and met the huge sword head-on.
As soon as the black dagger left his hand, it became even more blurry in the air and instantly turned into a short sword. Black runes appeared on the surface of the dagger and fused with it, emitting a strange aura.
Boom!
Two rays of light exploded in the air like two blazing suns. One black and one gold were extremely bright in the air. However, the huge sword was actually blocked by the short sword. It couldn't move an inch forward, which made Gu Zheng feel a little incredulous.
Layers of golden flames surged on the huge sword again and pressed against the short sword.
The sudden explosion caused the short sword to be forcefully pressed down. However, as the same black flames rose from the short sword, the golden flames that had just come over were instantly extinguished. At the same time, the black fog rushed back towards the Cloud Desolate Sword.
"Shit!"
Gu Zheng's eyelids twitched. He reached out and grabbed the Cloud Desolate Sword. It didn't fight back at all and directly returned to his hand.
It also meant that the sneak attack this time had completely failed.
"Ha, so it's still an unsealed weapon. What a good weapon." Zhu Hun was stunned. Seeing the black fog of the Cloud Desolate Sword, he suddenly laughed. Then, he grabbed the short sword in the air and turned it back into a dagger.
Zhu Hun looked at Gu Zheng and said indifferently, "I originally wanted to play with you, but a hindrance is coming. I'll send you on your way first."
As soon as his voice fell, the other deer eye on the deer staff in his hand lit up.
A huge spiritual pressure instantly emerged from his body and set off a storm that swept in all directions.
Seeing this, Gu Zheng was shocked. He looked at the other party in disbelief because his aura was rising steadily. In the blink of an eye, he had already reached the intermediate Grand Immortal Realm.
Especially the deer staff in his hand, it was emitting a special fluctuation that entered Gu Zheng's heart in waves. It was as if the God of Death had arrived and he could only stretch out his neck to be killed.
The Human Book on Gu Zheng's body suddenly flew out. Layers of pages quickly rotated. At the same time, a strong golden light bloomed from it, blocking the strange fluctuation.
"Innate Spiritual Treasure? You'll still die! " Zhu Hun looked at the thing in front of Gu Zheng. Although he couldn't see it clearly and didn't know what it was, he could feel the aura within it.
"I can't find it!"
Gu Zheng looked in front of him and his pupils suddenly shrank. He couldn't find the other party's name. He was sure that the other party's name was absolutely real. How could he not find it?
At this time, Gu Zheng really felt that death was coming. He was completely locked down. Even with the protection of the Human Book, he didn't feel the slightest bit safe. As long as the other party attacked, he would die.
As for escaping, it was even more impossible. If he turned his head, he was afraid that he would be dead.
The light on the deer staff in front of him became more and more intense. In the next moment, the attack could be launched at any time. Gu Zheng was still desperately thinking of a way. However, if the little bird had completely evolved and didn't devour the fifth ring before, he was confident that he would only be seriously injured.
But now, even if he wanted to forcefully weaken the other party, he couldn't find the other party's name in the Human Book.
This time, death was so close to Gu Zheng. He could only inject all his spiritual power in front of him and gamble on the extremely slim hope.
"Buzz!"
At this time, a trembling sound suddenly sounded in the air. A black sphere suddenly burst out from Zhu Hun's body. Rays of black light were constantly emitted from it in all directions. It looked very anxious.
"You're lucky!"
Zhu Hun put away the black sphere and said to Gu Zheng indifferently. Then, he flew down to the hole below.
When he came down, he saw that one of the two people he brought was already dead. The other person was also struggling to block the other party's attack.
"Lord Soul, are you done? Quickly catch her. She is an important person that Lord wants. "The man with death aura was overjoyed when he saw Zhu Hun.
"My young master is not dead. Where do you think you're going?" Xiao Ying wasn't very surprised. She could still feel Gu Zheng's aura above. She thought that the other party wanted to escape and wanted to delay the other party.
"Trash! You can't even deal with a painting soul. " Although Zhu Hun said this, he still grabbed Xiao Ying as if he was grabbing a little bird. He didn't allow Xiao Ying to struggle and fell into his injured hand.
"Young master, young master, save me!"
Xiao Ying was caught by the other party and her strength disappeared. She subconsciously wanted to return to the painting but found that she couldn't move at all. She shouted in panic.
"The other party can't even protect himself. If it wasn't for an urgent matter, I'm afraid that you will only see his corpse in a moment. You want to save you? Come with me." Zhu Hun put away the protective transmission array and said disdainfully when he heard Xiao Ying's shout.
"Lord Soul is mighty." The man with death aura said from the side. One of his companions had been killed by the other party. If he hadn't been careful, he might have also died at her hands.
This little fellow was worthy of being a special painting soul that Lord Soul had specially requested. She was much stronger than the others.
"Enough nonsense. Hei Shi has summoned us. It seems that there is something below. Take him away and return immediately." Zhu Hun didn't fall for the other party's words and immediately said to him.
"Yes, Lord Soul!" The man with death aura said with a solemn expression. He picked up his companion's corpse and followed Zhu Hun into the transmission array.
"Young master! Save me! "
Following Xiao Ying's final shout, it reverberated continuously in this empty wooden cave. A lantern quietly fell from the sky and finally landed at the very bottom. It bounced a few times and then stayed there quietly. Only the flame of the lantern that had been lit all this time continued to burn in a circle.
"Xiao Ying!"
As Xiao Ying's last shred of hope faded away, a figure rushed in from the outside like a whirlwind. But all that was left behind was emptiness.
"Damn it!"
Gu Zheng found the weapon that Xiao Ying had left behind. He knew that the other party had taken her away. He blamed himself for his carelessness.
Not only did he not get rid of the other party, he was almost killed by the other party. Coupled with the other party's special ability, he felt a little better.
He stared blankly at the transmission array that had lost its power. There were cracks all around it. It couldn't be used at all.
Suddenly thinking of something, Gu Zheng immediately took out the painting scroll in his hand. At this time, the scenery on the scroll was still pleasant. The kitten was still lying quietly inside, but he suddenly felt that something was missing.
"Don't be sad. Your Spirit Child seems to be very important to the other side. Her life is not in danger for the time being."
At this time, a figure appeared from the outside of the cave. He looked around and understood what had happened. He stepped forward and said to the dazed Gu Zheng.
"Where does this passage lead to?"
Gu Zheng put away the item in his hand and looked at the old man. He didn't ask why the other party had come here. Instead, he asked the old man.
"Don't you know? This passage leads to a place that the other party has occupied. It should be the other party's headquarters. It is said that a passage needs to be opened. I am not too sure about the details. "The old man looked at the expressionless Gu Zheng and his heart trembled.
Through the previous battle, he knew that Ye Xiwen was not simple. He was actually able to fight to a draw with that terrifying enemy, forcing the other party to use a powerful move. But it was impossible that he did not have a Spirit Treasure. How could he not have a trump card? The old man did not believe that.
"Take me there!"
"Okay. Anyway, I have a grudge with the other party. I also know the general location of the other party. More importantly, your people have already gone there. At least you are not fighting alone."
The old man didn't even think about it. He immediately said and flew up.
The two figures left the wooden cave that had completely lost its value.
"Xiao Ying, wait for me!"
