"There are a total of ten Demon Souls. Other than the leader who has a stronger cultivation, the rest are just small fries."
At a corner in the distance, a few of them were hiding to avoid being discovered by the other party. Brush said to them.
To their group, the other party was really weak. After all, although there were fewer people here, their overall strength was stronger.
"What do you mean by stronger? That Demon Soul is also the strongest Demon Soul that attacked here. He's even stronger than the previous Demon Souls. If the previous Demon Soul was a meat shield, then he's an assassin. Later, I'll restrain him. You guys kill his underlings first." Array Spirit said snappily.
He had fought with the other party for so many years and knew everything about them. Although there weren't many of them, none of them were weak.
"Alright. The blue Qilin is at a disadvantage. Let's hurry up." Song Shan urged.
"Don't be anxious. That Qilin was formed by a drop of Qilin blood. When they enter the square, I'll give them a small surprise." Array Spirit stopped everyone.
One had to know that under the square, it was unavoidable to bury a formation. After all, this was the palace prepared for Goddess Yu Fei. Needless to say, its defensive power was naturally strong.
The Qilin had a total of five phantoms. Among them, the first two were the strongest. They were at the mid-stage and early-stage Grand Heavenly Realm. The last three were only at the peak of Jin Xian. As for why the Demon Soul didn't attack, it was because he was injured in the battle with the Qilin and was recuperating.
After hearing this, everyone nodded silently. There were Spiritual Guards in front of the hall. They were enough to block the other party for a while, allowing them to rescue him in time.
Gu Zheng opened a gap at the side. It was not much bigger than a strand of hair. He relied on it to observe the situation in the square.
At this moment, the blue Qilin was in a very bad state. Although he was the last to appear, he was actually the weakest. He only lasted for half an hour. He couldn't even touch the corner of the other party's clothes. He was already severely injured and could be defeated at any time.
"Everyone, get ready. As soon as you see any movement in the square, we'll set off immediately. Kill the other party's underlings first. Although the formation in the square is powerful, I haven't returned to the formation eye. I can only use 20% of its effect. Otherwise, even if the Demon Soul enters, I'm confident that I can peel off a layer of his skin." Array Spirit suddenly said.
"Don't worry, with us working together, there won't be any problems," Brush said loudly.
Gu Zheng glanced at the creature. After all, the creature wouldn't participate in the battle. Its only purpose was to cheer them on. Speaking of which, Gu Zheng had never seen the creature in action before. However, the creature's aura didn't indicate that it was unarmed. After all, the letter it had sent to Ren Chen indicated that it had some skills.
"The blue qilin is already dead." Song Shan, who had been observing the situation, suddenly spoke up.
This pulled Gu Zheng's attention back to the present. He took a deep breath and cast aside the distracting thoughts in his mind. He had already taken out his weapon and was ready to charge forward at any time.
"Niang niang, hurry up and hide inside. There's a sturdy secret room inside that should be able to hold out for a few days."
With the death of the blue Qilin, the stone pillar in the middle collapsed, and the golden barrier of the hall flickered a few times before it completely shattered in the air.
At this moment, the Demonic Soul's illumination towards the main hall had been completely opened. There were only a few lonely Spiritual Guards in front of him. As for his target, he was still there. He was probably scared out of his wits.
When the barrier disappeared, the maidservant hurriedly said to Lady Yu Fei.
"Escaping and living for a few more days is not something I can do. You should back down. Perhaps if the other party kills me, they won't place their attention on you." Goddess Yu Fei's Aerial Spiritual Guards gathered one after another. They came in front of her and prepared to fight to the death.
"No, I want to live and die with you, niang niang." The maidservant's heart was filled with boundless courage. She took a step forward and stood in front of Lady Yu Fei, and continued to speak firmly.
"If you want to hurt you, niang niang, you have to step over my body."
The Demonic Soul on the other side had already rushed over with a ferocious smile. The last Demonic Soul that even the Formation Spirit had to pay attention to slowly walked over. It looked a little comical.
This was because this Demonic Soul was in the form of an insect. It looked like some kind of nine-jointed insect. Four pairs of insect legs supported its body, and each segment of its body was covered in a hard shell. When it stood upright, it was as tall as two people.
A pair of small arms extended from its abdomen. They were like human arms, but they wore a layer of black gloves. The five fingers waved in the air in a somewhat disorderly manner.
On top of its head was still the head of an insect. A pair of pale-white eyes were on both sides of its head, and they were moving nimbly. It had wrinkled skin and looked very disgusting. A pair of black antennae were on top of its head, and they swayed back and forth as it walked.
And on its shoulders, there were similarly human arms. One of them held a brown shield filled with patterns, and the other held a weapon similar to a long saber. There were a few gaps in the middle, and behind the handle, there was a protruding spike. It looked like a short scythe.
Even though it looked like a Goblin, the aura it emitted was still that of a Demonic Soul. It was a ghost that did not exist in the world.
As for the few Demonic Souls in front, there were skeletons that Gu Zheng had seen, but the two swords on their backs were only left with scabbards. There was also the Drifting Soul that he had killed before, and he was floating forward with a short sword in his hand. There was also a type of wandering ghost that he had seen before, and it let out a ghastly laugh. Together with the red ghostly figure, it looked even more creepy.
To them, the other party had nowhere to run. Although the Spirit Guards were powerful, under the other party's command, they could not be of much use. Otherwise, they would not have been chased and beaten up.
However, just as they passed through the middle of the square and were about to rush over in one go, the square suddenly shook. Countless white lights shot up from the ground, as if they were the light emitted by the white stones underground.
However, the familiar faces of these people suddenly changed, and without saying a word, they scattered and fled in all directions.
There was only one person here who could control the array, or a spirit body, and that was the array spirit.
However, no matter how fast they reacted, it was useless. Under the subtle control of the formation spirit, most of the white light turned back halfway, forming the appearance of a large bell, and covered them one after another.
"Everyone, hurry up. I have already trapped the other party. Be careful of the Demonic Insect." The array spirit's angry roar sounded in the air. At the same time, their figures appeared and flew over at high speed.
"Queen Yu Fei, it's the array spirit and the others. We are saved." The maidservant only knew the array spirit and Song Shan behind him. Although she did not know them, she was sure they were on the same side. She could not help but say happily.
"Yes, it's better than dying in the hands of these Demonic Demons." Queen Yu Fei smiled and was not as excited as the maidservant.
"Array spirit, that guy didn't hold you back!" The Demonic Insect was clearly shocked when it saw them appear. It could not help but shout in shock.
The white lights in the air did not come for him. The array spirit knew that this little bit of power could not do anything to the other party. All of it strengthened the encirclement and weakened the Demonic Spirits.
The Demonic Spirits were trapped inside. Countless white lights shot towards them from inside, causing them to scream. These lights were extremely harmful to them. It made them frantically hit the barrier in front of them, wanting to escape. Because the enemy was close, if they did not come out, only death would await them.
"The array spirit has no spirit, Ganyang Wei Kui."
Along the way, the Formation Spirit suddenly stopped and shouted. The Spiritual Guards behind him stopped almost at the same time. Along with his body, there was a white light emitting from his body.
The white lights shuttled back and forth between the Spiritual Guards. Every time they entered, the Spiritual Guards' aura would increase.
Not only that, above the Demonic Insect's head, an ordinary Spiritual Guard suddenly appeared. He held a long spear in his hand and his purple eyes were filled with killing intent.
"Give me your life!"
The Spiritual Guard that came out was like an independent individual. He waved the weapon in his hand and charged towards the Demonic Insect below like a meteor.
"I can only hold on for a while. The power of these Spiritual Guards can only gather a hollow spirit in the early stage of the Grand Heavenly Realm." The array spirit shouted at Gu Zheng and the rest.
"Crazy!"
Gu Zheng nodded his head. However, he exclaimed in his heart. Not only was the hollow spirit summoned by the array spirit powerful, but the strength of the Spiritual Guards behind him had also increased by a level. Looking at the array spirit, if there were more Spiritual Guards, the increase would be even greater.
No wonder the array spirit said that he would give him enough Spiritual Guards. He was not afraid of the Chaos Demonic Beasts at all. He did not know what the array spirit did to almost kill the array spirit.
Gu Zheng and the rest rushed towards the Demonic Spirits in the square. Just as they got close, the white lights in front of them suddenly shattered. One of the bound Skeleton Souls broke out from inside and collided with Gu Zheng.
The remaining bone sword in the Skeleton Souls' hand instantly stabbed towards Gu Zheng. It looked like it was going all out. At this moment, it was heavily injured and its mind was in a mess. If it did not go all out, it might not even have the chance to go all out later.
Unfortunately, it was facing Gu Zheng and the other Spiritual Guards. They were not ordinary people. Facing its desperate attack, Gu Zheng did not even blink. The Cloud Desolate Sword in his hand jumped towards the Skeleton Souls' bone sword. Without any obstruction, the Cloud Desolate Sword split into two and entered the body of the astonished Skeleton Souls.
Facing a Skeleton Soul, Gu Zheng naturally had a way. In the next moment, a golden flame burst out from the Cloud Desolate Sword and engulfed the upper body of the Skeleton Soul.
Gu Zheng immediately pulled out the Cloud Desolate Sword and rushed towards another direction. The golden flame dissipated, leaving behind only the lower body of the Skeleton Soul. The Skeleton Soul fell to the ground. This time, it was really half a Skeleton Soul.
Next, Gu Zheng saw a Floating Soul that had been imprisoned. At this moment, the Floating Soul had not come out. Seeing its companion die, a black Qi spread out from its body and quickly covered the white light barrier. Although the white light was constantly melting, it still successfully hid its body.
"Naive!"
Seeing the Floating Soul trying to save itself, Gu Zheng coldly snorted. The golden flame on his sword was still burning on the surface as he directly slashed towards the Floating Soul.
"Kacha!"
A crisp sound rang out. The white barrier that trapped the Demonic Spirit was cut into two along with the Floating Soul. Then, the Floating Soul was burned into nothingness by the golden flame. In the face of absolute strength, the Floating Soul was naturally unable to escape from Gu Zheng.
On Song Shan's side, he also destroyed two light pillars. As he waved his broadsword, his body carried a sharp Righteous Qi. He also completely killed the Floating Soul.
However, at this time, the last two Wild Souls also broke out from the white barrier. They were lucky. With the help of their companions who risked their lives, they were able to delay Gu Zheng and the others for a while, giving them enough time to rush out.
However, when they just came out, Gu Zheng and the others also flew towards them. The two Wild Souls directly flew towards the Demonic Insect.
They knew that if they ran, they would not be able to outrun the other party. They could only pray that the Demonic Insect would protect them.
Their idea was not bad. Unfortunately, when they just got close to the Demonic Insect, the Hollow Soul happened to be repelled by the Demonic Insect's fierce slash. It just so happened that the Hollow Soul landed on both sides of them.
The two Wild Souls did not expect that. Two flashes of light flashed in the air and they were skewered like candied haws. However, they did not die. This kind of pure physical attack caused very little damage to them.
BANG!
The two Wild Ghosts turned into black fog and flew toward the Demonic Insect. Unfortunately, two purple rays of light shot out from the Hollow Spirit Eye and hit the center of the black fog, exploding and tearing the Demonic Insect into pieces.
Gu Zheng and Song Shan also came from the side and surrounded the Demonic Insect. They completely blocked the Demonic Insect's path.
"Damnit, do you think you can kill me?" The Demonic Insect looked at the three of them with its head held high. It was not afraid of them at all.
That was because its cultivation base was still there, and it specialized in offense.
"You'll know in the end whether or not we can kill you. However, your companion has already left. It misses you very much. Why don't you accompany it?" Gu Zheng looked at the Demonic Insect and laughed.
"Just with you? I'm too lazy to fight with you. "The Demonic Insect did not believe them. However, it would be difficult for him to kill them alone. Thinking of the Demon Commander's arrangements, he wanted to leave first.
At this time, his plan to kidnap Empress Yu Fei had failed. All of his subordinates had been sacrificed. There was no need to fight them head-on.
"Where do you think you're going?!"
Yao Chong looked around. As soon as he finished speaking, his legs quickly danced. He was like a phantom as he dashed to the side. It looked like he wanted to use his speed to leave this place.
However, Song Shan's reaction was extremely fast. When he saw the Demonic Insect's eyes move, he could faintly guess what he was thinking. He instantly flew in the Demonic Insect's path and slashed his saber at it.
The Demonic Insect raised its shield with its left hand and chose to take the attack head-on. It wanted to borrow the force of the attack to escape, but Song Shan saw this and pulled back his saber. He threw it forward, and it turned into a huge saber that was dozens of feet long. It stabbed three inches into the ground like a wall, completely blocking the Demonic Insect's path.
He also kicked the Demonic Insect's shield. The huge force caused Yao Chong's body to slow down. However, his four limbs suddenly exerted strength, and he raised the saber in his hand and slashed at Song Shan's weapon.
Clang!
There was a loud sound of metal being torn apart. The Demonic Insect's weapon only slowed down for a moment before it quickly slashed forward. It cut a huge gap in Song Shan's weapon and completely destroyed it.
Song Shan never thought that his weapon wouldn't even be able to take a single slash from the Demonic Insect. His face was flushed red. With his weapon destroyed, he also suffered quite a bit of backlash. Fortunately, their minds weren't connected. Otherwise, his injuries would be even worse.
However, the Demonic Insect raised its saber and opened up a gap. Even if it wasn't even a breath of time, it was enough for the Hollow Spirit behind it to catch up.
His figure quickly arrived in front of the Demonic Insect. The spear that disappeared in his hand was once again in his hand. He directly rushed at the Demonic Insect's abdomen. The spear in his hand was aimed at the Demonic Insect's throat. That was one of the few places the Demonic Insect didn't protect.
Compared to the suicidal Hollow Spirit, the Demonic Insect was much more cautious. It wasn't the first time they fought. This Hollow Spirit was completely unkillable. It could be said that it was a headache.
It still raised the shield in its hand and blocked in front of it. Then, its other hand was ready to attack. Its speed inevitably decreased.
Clang!
A sharp sound continued to ring. The Hollow Spirit's attack didn't penetrate the shield. Even if it used all its strength and sacrificed itself to block the Demonic Insect, it only stopped the Demonic Insect's figure. Its entire body was sent flying by the huge impact brought by the Demonic Insect's galloping power.
However, it was fortunate that it was so. Because it was in the air, the Demonic Insect's saber also slashed down at an extremely fast speed. It was a pity that the Demonic Insect didn't expect that the Demonic Insect would be sent flying.
And the Demonic Insect's stop also gave Gu Zheng a chance. Because he wanted to prevent the Demonic Insect from jumping over the wall and rushing towards Goddess Yu Fei, he blocked the path. As a result, he fell behind from the beginning and only rushed over at this time.
Seeing that the Demonic Insect had forced the Hollow Spirit and Black Mountain to retreat with just a few simple moves, he sucked in a breath of cold air. The Demonic Insect's strength seemed to be similar to the Demonic Insect from before, but its attack power was too strong.
And that Demonic Insect wanted to trap him. In addition, it was good at defense. In the end, it was taken away by his explosive set of moves. He didn't realize how difficult it was to deal with the Demonic Insect.
Seeing this, when Gu Zheng arrived, he immediately threw out his five rings.
Five rays of light flashed in the air and directly went for the Demonic Insect's limbs, while the other one went for the Demonic Insect's waist. He wanted to trap the Demonic Insect first.
"Little thing!"
A trace of disdain flashed in the Demonic Insect's eyes. Then, it swung the large blade in its hand horizontally in the air. The surface of the blade directly slapped on its shield, causing a huge vibration sound. A shockwave visible to the naked eye suddenly burst out from the surface of the blade.
The Demonic Insect's figure was about to close in when it was hit by the shock wave. Its figure suddenly shook in the air, revealing its true appearance. The colorless spirit light on the surface of its body trembled at an extremely fast speed. It seemed to be resisting the attack with difficulty.
After a stalemate, the light of the Demonic Insect's five Spirit Rings weakened greatly. It hummed softly in the air as if it had been hit by a heavy object. It directly flew upside down and fell beside Gu Zheng.
When the shock wave hit Gu Zheng, who was prepared in an instant, he found that it didn't affect him at all. It directly passed through.
On the contrary, the Hollow Spirit in the distance, which had just flown over, flew into the distance again and directly hit the wall in the distance. His whole figure dimmed and was almost shattered.
"Be careful, this is the function of the opponent's shield. It is very effective against our spirit bodies and some strange things, but it has no effect on ordinary things."
The Formation Spirit propped up a barrier over there to block the aftermath of the opponent's attack, and then shouted at Gu Zheng.
"Your strength is so weak that it really scared me. In that case, don't blame me for being rude." The Demonic Insect saw this and immediately threw away its previous posture of wanting to escape and laughed wildly.
