This seemingly inconspicuous Demon Soul had such a thing with him. It seemed that his status was not low as he had said.
The Demon Soul did not retract the mirror on top of his head. A strong black mist appeared on his golden claw, and then he waved it in front of him again. A black beam of light burst out from the collision and went straight for Gu Zheng.
"Boom!"
Gu Zheng's figure dodged to the side in the air, directly dodging the opponent's attack.
However, the black beam of light hit the wall behind him, leaving a small hole. Its power could not be underestimated.
"Haha!"
The Demon Soul blocked the only exit. Looking at Gu Zheng's appearance, he laughed crazily, as if fighting was his favorite.
There was no need to raise the golden claw again. With a dull sound, a black beam of light splashed out from the golden claw again.
Gu Zheng did not want to resist the bowl-sized light beam at all. He could only dodge to the side again.
However, the Demon Soul seemed to have gone crazy. The black beam of light continued to fly in front of him. Accompanied by the sound of drums, the black beam of light flew towards Gu Zheng.
Seeing this, Gu Zheng frowned. The opponent's attack was endless. It was as if he wanted to drag him here. He did not wait for the opponent's attack to stop. He dodged the black beam of light from the side and teleported directly to the opponent's side. He slashed his sword towards the opponent's body.
The Demon Soul seemed to have been prepared. At the same time when Gu Zheng's figure appeared, the air suddenly shook again. A large amount of black mist burst out from the golden claw, spreading to the surroundings like a storm.
Gu Zheng's expression changed. He had no choice but to pull back his sword. He had to avoid this wave of attacks that had no blind spots. He quickly retreated backwards. Only when the aura of the black fog in front of him had weakened did he slash out with his sword, instantly creating a huge gap.
However, in the black mist, the Demon Soul appeared. He accelerated and appeared in front of Gu Zheng. His eyes were filled with cruelty. The golden claw in his hand smashed down on Gu Zheng.
Clang! Clang!
Gu Zheng raised the weapon in his hand, wanting to block the attack. However, the moment he made contact with the hammer, he paused for a moment before his body was smashed down by the huge force. Just as he was about to hit the ground, he barely managed to control his body and flew up from the other side, dodging the hammer that came down from the sky.
After the golden claw smashed a small hole in the ground, it flew back to the demon soul in the air and returned to his hand.
Gu Zheng looked at the Demonic Soul. Its body was intentionally blocking him, so he had no chance to leave. As he felt his body tremble, he was slightly angered.
He really wanted to leave this place and save the Array Spirit first, but the other party seemed to have seen through his thoughts. Especially the other party's gaze that seemed to say that he was going to eat him up, which made him even more annoyed. It was as if he was a coward and wanted to escape.
"Since that's the case, I'll take some time to deal with you, trash."
Gu Zheng took a deep breath and calmed down. Thinking of Song Shan's help, he couldn't be sure that the Array Spirit would be safe. He slowly said to the Demon Soul in front of him.
"It's not certain who will deal with who. Although I don't know how you entered here, you have to die here no matter what." The Demon Soul stuck out his belly and pointed his golden claw at Gu Zheng.
"Hmph!"
Leaving a cold snort in the air, his figure disappeared and appeared behind the Demon Soul. He directly stabbed at the back of the Demon Soul's head.
The Demon Soul's head seemed to have eyes. The moment Gu Zheng appeared, the golden claw on his right hand had already been raised and blocked the path of his attack. As for the other hand, it had already flown over from the side and smashed towards his body.
Ding!
Gu Zheng's hand lightly tapped on the back of the Demon Soul's golden claw. His figure swept up like a bird and flew above the Demon Soul's head. The Cloud Desolate Sword in his hand shone with a golden light and sword shadows that filled the sky suddenly appeared in the air. Like a blooming golden lotus, it stabbed towards the Demon Soul's head.
Seeing this, the Demon Soul didn't panic. He rapidly descended. At the same time, the golden hammer on his left hand had already turned into a ball of golden light that flowed along his body. In the blink of an eye, it appeared above his head and formed a golden shield. The other hand turned in the air and continued to charge towards Gu Zheng who was following closely behind.
The golden light that filled the sky hit the golden shield, causing ripples to rise continuously. However, it was like an iron wall that couldn't be broken at all. Feeling the pressure from the side, Gu Zheng's figure paused in the air and then retreated to the side.
This attack could be considered a failure. There wasn't any progress at all.
"You little bastards in the early stage of the Grand Heavenly Realm want to kill your grandfather? You're simply overestimating yourselves." The Demon Soul didn't chase after him. Instead, he retreated a little and blocked Gu Zheng again while laughing at Gu Zheng.
"How's your strength?" Gu Zheng looked at the Demon Soul with an unchanged expression and said aloud.
"I've already reached the middle stage of the Human Soul Realm and can enter the late stage at any time. It's equivalent to the middle stage of the Grand Heavenly Realm. Do you see this ribbon of mine? As long as it turns purple, I'll completely enter the late stage of the Human Soul Realm. The Demon Commander has already instructed me that as long as I block you here, I'll definitely reward you handsomely.
Dream on. "The Demon Soul chuckled. There was a green belt around his waist. Only a part of it floated out and the color on it could be clearly seen.
When Gu Zheng heard the Demon Soul's words, even if his cultivation was higher than his, his expression still didn't change. However, he was a little annoyed in his heart. This was a trap specially set for him and he had stepped into it. However, if the Demon Soul wanted to block him, it would depend on whether the Demon Soul had the ability to do so.
"Then what are you afraid of!" Gu Zheng's aura gradually condensed and he slowly said to the Demon Soul.
"Afraid? I only need to block you here. The Demon Commander likes this body of yours very much. It's better for you to stay here obediently so that I won't damage it. "The Demon Soul said disdainfully. However, his body tensed up even more, ready to deal with Gu Zheng's attack at any time.
"Then pray that you won't suffer too much pain when you die."
Gu Zheng said coldly. That pair of cold eyes made the Demon Soul's heart tremble for no reason, as if a great disaster was about to befall him.
However, it was dispersed in the blink of an eye. He didn't put a mere early stage Grand Heavenly Realm in his eyes. No matter if it was strength or reaction time, he was superior to his opponent.
Although he thought so, he didn't feel relieved at all. Layers of black mist continued to coil around his body, slowly enveloping his body.
Gu Zheng only looked at him coldly. Other than his aura becoming sharper, he didn't do anything else. However, it didn't make people feel that he was bluffing. It was as if he was a fierce tiger that was released from its cage in the next moment, making people unconsciously nervous.
The Demon Soul's black mist dispersed. A layer of fine black scales appeared on his originally bloated body. Although it made him even more bloated, the scales made him feel much more at ease.
Looking at Gu Zheng, who still didn't move, the Demon Soul felt that he had provoked too much. Perhaps the Demon Commander told him to be more cautious, but the other party looked as if he was looking at an idiot, which made him unable to help but feel angry.
This was because Gu Zheng had put away the weapon in his hand, and even the aura on his face had disappeared. He only looked at him with a strange gaze, as if everything that had happened earlier was just an illusion, causing him to make a big fuss.
"You're going too far. I'll beat you up first. I'll endure the Demon Commander's punishment." The Demon Soul finally couldn't take it anymore. However, he still knew his mission.
The Black Realm, who was originally in the air, turned around and flew to the exit. His body expanded and completely blocked the exit.
After doing all this, the Demon Soul raised his twin hammers and flew towards Gu Zheng. His pair of golden claws were filled with black mist, forming sharp black spikes. They all turned into a pair of huge black hammers, which looked a lot more powerful.
Gu Zheng saw the other party rushing towards him, but he didn't panic. Instead, a cold smile appeared on his face. However, it disappeared in a flash and wasn't noticed by the other party.
"Hu hu"
The huge black hammers, one on the left and one on the right, brought along a fierce wind, and attacked Gu Zheng from both sides.
Huge astral winds revolved in the air, disturbing Gu Zheng's surroundings. Although it didn't have any power, it was even more chaotic, causing him to have no choice but to use more strength to block it.
Gu Zheng retreated slightly and took out the Desolate Cloud Sword that he had put away. The two of them immediately began to fight fiercely in the air.
Huge sounds echoed in the cave. The two figures constantly flashed in and out of the cave, causing a large amount of Qi waves. Their shadows were everywhere in the cave.
"You only have this little strength and you want to heavily injure me? You can't even touch the corner of my clothes. Could it be that your cultivation is all fake?"
While quickly exchanging blows with the Demon Soul, Gu Zheng still didn't feel much pressure. He couldn't help but continue to mock the Demon Soul, adding fuel to the fire.
This made the Demon Soul even angrier. The twin hammers in his hands danced, and streams of black energy flew towards Gu Zheng in the air. They were like tyrannical attacks, causing Gu Zheng to be even more flustered.
However, this was all there was to it. If it was only at this level, it wouldn't be able to pressure Zhu Hun. If it wanted to rely on pure close combat to kill Gu Zheng, it still wasn't qualified.
After all, although it was incomparably powerful, and after wearing that layer of armor, some of Gu Zheng's weaker attacks couldn't penetrate it. However, Gu Zheng wasn't an ordinary person. All of the Demon Soul's attacks weren't fully displayed due to the Demon Soul's apprehension. At least, it was still within the range of his resistance. It was just a bit strenuous.
However, after exchanging a dozen blows, the two of them became more and more furious. The Demon Soul's brandishing of his hammers became even more vigorous. It was three times faster than before.
Every time the pair of golden claws clashed, there would be a special fluctuation rising, causing the power of each attack to increase.
If Song Shan were here, he definitely wouldn't be able to block such a fierce attack, especially in this space where there was no space to maneuver around. Even if he had other moves, there wouldn't be enough time. He would still be smashed to death.
Although the Demon Soul had said that it would severely injure Gu Zheng, its hammers were filled with killing intent. It wanted to kill Gu Zheng. However, Gu Zheng still blocked it passively. He didn't take the initiative to counterattack.
If one looked carefully, they would see that the sky was filled with white dots of light. There wasn't any danger. However, the Demon Soul didn't notice it at all. Under the golden light of Gu Zheng's moves and the provocation of his words, even if the Demon Soul saw it, it would think that it was the traces of their fight.
Gu Zheng, who was fighting with the Demon Soul, suddenly retreated a few steps. He opened up a bit of distance between him and the Demon Soul. Then, taking advantage of the fact that the Demon Soul hadn't attacked yet, he arrived in front of the exit in a few flashes. However, the mirror was blocking the exit.
"Want to run? It's too late. Obediently let me hit you a few times. Perhaps you'll suffer less torture. " The Demon Soul didn't chase after him. Instead, it laughed mockingly. Seeing the despair of its enemy made it feel satisfied.
"Is that so?" Gu Zheng looked at the Demon Soul with a smile on his face. Then, he turned his back to the Demon Soul and looked at the mirror. He could even see a small golden ball inside. It was the attack that Gu Zheng had launched earlier. It was locked inside by the Demon Soul.
"Have a taste of your own attack," the Demon Soul murmured and laughed wildly.
At that moment, the black light on the surface of the mirror suddenly flashed. The small golden ball that had been locked inside continued to fly towards Gu Zheng. In the blink of an eye, it flew out of the mirror and arrived in front of Gu Zheng.
At that moment, the attack that Gu Zheng had launched had completely lost contact with him. He could only watch as the golden ball suddenly exploded. It turned into a bell-shaped ripple that enveloped Gu Zheng.
However, the moment the Demon Soul moved, Gu Zheng had already moved. The Phantom Copper Bell was placed above his head again. A layer of flickering ripple appeared around him.
The two of them were in a deadlock. Neither of them could do anything to the other. The Demon Soul could only passively control the soundwave ball. He was unable to control it to unleash its greatest power. But that was enough.
Gu Zheng was now trapped in place. He was just a claw that couldn't move. As for that copper bell, it was useless against the Demon Soul.
The Demon Soul laughed sinisterly and waved its golden claw. Black mist fiercely gathered above it. At the same time, a golden light burst out from the black mist. It was about to charge up and give Gu Zheng a vicious attack.
But at that moment, Gu Zheng smiled at the Demon Soul. For some reason, it felt a great sense of danger. But no matter how it looked, it didn't see any attack.
"Wait, that's!"
As the flames lit up in the air, countless white stars appeared in the air, causing the Demon Soul to be shocked. It turned to look at Gu Zheng. It didn't know when Gu Zheng had unknowingly placed so many white stars, filling up almost all of the space here. Even the Demon Soul didn't notice it at all.
Bang!
But this time, it was too late. Gu Zheng raised his hand and snapped his fingers.
All of the sparks suddenly exploded into scorching flames, and countless fist-sized white flames filled the room. However, only those white flames were left in people's eyes. In just an instant, the temperature of the entire room rose rapidly.
That was just the beginning. Those flames began to move quickly, gathering toward the Demon Soul in the air.
Seeing the situation wasn't good, the Demon Soul didn't have time to attack Gu Zheng. The black mist on its golden claw scattered, and in a flash of golden light, the two golden claws strangely merged together in the air, forming a golden barrier that protected it.
The white flames that had gathered could only stick to the barrier. They began to burn fiercely, but they were unable to break through.
Looking at the white ball of light in the air, Gu Zheng didn't care at all. Since the Demon Soul had chosen such a stupid method, it had no way of escaping this time.
If it had had any trump cards at the beginning, it would have still been able to leave.
"Thank you for your hard work," said Gu Zheng as he gently stroked the Li Ring with his left hand.
A light cry rang out in the air, and the Li Ring gently trembled, expressing its joy.
Before the battle had even begun, Gu Zheng had a strange feeling in his heart. However, he knew that the Li Ring, which had been dormant this entire time, had already completed its evolution.
Although it looked the same as before, Gu Zheng knew that its power had increased by more than ten times. It was now the strongest magic treasure he had. Even a five-ringed Demon Soul couldn't compare to it.
However, in its third complete form, it was still the strongest, but it wasn't as convenient as the Li Ring.
At this time, the Demon Soul was extremely terrified. It wasn't that the white flames were growing stronger and stronger, and it wasn't that the Demon Soul's defenses had been broken. In reality, it could still hold on for a while. Instead, it was that there was a strange fluctuation around it that had completely trapped it here.
When it saw that the situation wasn't good, it was prepared to take out the life-saving item that the Demon Commander had given it. However, it was shocked to find that it had already lost its effect. The surrounding space had been completely locked down, and it was isolated here. It had been completely abandoned.
This was also why Gu Zheng wanted to buy more time. It was because the Demon Soul didn't have any other tricks up its sleeve. He didn't believe it. He wanted to completely kill it. No matter what, it would reduce the pressure on his side.
And the Demon Soul's hesitation gave him a great opportunity to easily use it.
Although those white flames weren't Cleansing Flames, they were still a part of the little bird's body.
Therefore, Gu Zheng didn't even look at the Demon Soul. No matter how strong the Demon Soul's cultivation was, it was destined to end up like this.
As he looked at the Dark Realm, he felt a little regretful. The Cleansing Flames he had been looking forward to hadn't appeared at all. Not only did he need the Li Ring, but he also needed to cooperate with it to condense it bit by bit.
However, when he thought of the power of the Cleansing Flames, Gu Zheng felt relieved. After all, this thing couldn't be obtained so easily. However, he didn't have the chance to see it now. However, with the Li Ring's recovery, the last worry in his heart was all gone.
"Good Dragon, I don't know when you will wake up."
Gu Zheng thought about the small bottle on his body. The Good Dragon, who had been motionless all this time, showed no signs of waking up even though its aura had recovered.
Since it had given him the bottle, he must find a chance to wake it up.
"I see. Then I'll take it first."
Gu Zheng, who was outside, had seen through the Dark Realm. He casually tapped on it a few times. The mirror in front of him shrank rapidly and fell into Gu Zheng's palm. Then, he put it away.
This thing was a little special and could be considered a good treasure. However, ordinary people couldn't use it, and Gu Zheng naturally couldn't use it either. However, he could keep it and give it to Xiao Ying to protect herself. It just so happened that he didn't have any magic treasures to give her.
Gu Zheng didn't walk into the passage behind it. Instead, he walked toward the wall. The wall, which originally looked hard, swallowed him the moment he touched it.
He didn't expect that guy to secretly change the entrance and pretend to be guarding it, making people think that it was real. During the battle, Gu Zheng didn't notice. If he really walked in, he would have fallen into the other party's trap.
"Gu Zheng, you're finally out. Are you okay?"
