"Young Master Gu, you're amazing. I didn't expect you to be so strong. It seems that Lord Xu has wasted your talents by keeping you here. If you go to the battlefield, you will be more useful."
Manager Su praised when he saw that Gu Zheng had captured the other party alive. At the same time, he walked over.
"You flatter me. The other party only broke through by force. In fact, it's just a facade. It's easy to deal with."
Gu Zheng didn't have any pride. This Cang Yan didn't break away from his previous state, whether it was his attack or reaction.
The other party couldn't fully grasp the sudden power at all.
"Hehe, you think you can kill me? You're too naive. "Cang Yan's eyes turned red as he stared at Gu Zheng and shouted.
Under Gu Zheng's attack just now, Cang Yan couldn't bear the huge power. Cang Yan's consciousness had completely disappeared and his body was taken over by the demon soul in his body. Unfortunately, his injuries were disturbed by the branches and couldn't heal at all.
Even if his body kept struggling, the branches that surrounded him kept swaying, binding him tightly and making him unable to break free.
"Just admit defeat obediently. It's good to suffer less. I can't make the decision for you. When they come back, I don't need to say much about your fate."
Gu Zheng didn't care about his howls at all. In his current state, it was still a little too late for him to struggle free.
"Congratulations, Young Master Gu. If it weren't for you, the consequences would be unimaginable. Even if Lord Huang was here, he would never have thought that the other party would invade and deliberately destroy the place. This plan of beating the grass to scare the snake is really admirable."
Manager Su, who had approached them, spoke again with a face full of admiration.
"Don't mention it, don't mention it. With the other party's mediocre skills, it is impossible for them to break through the defences above. Once they alert those outside, they will quickly be suppressed. At the very most, I have reduced the losses and calmed the hearts of those outside. It did not cause much of an impact. This is not worth mentioning." Gu Zheng waved his hand. He did not feel that he had done much.
If Huang Wei was here, he would be able to suppress the other party quickly.
"Even so, I'm still very grateful for what you did. It reduced the damage to our place. Please accept my bow."
Manager Su took a step back and bowed. He didn't wait for Gu Zheng's consent and directly bowed.
"Absolutely not. It's too grand."
Gu Zheng immediately stepped forward. Taking advantage of the fact that the other party was not done, he placed his hands on the other party's shoulders and helped him up.
However, Manager Su's body was stiff, and he didn't follow Gu Zheng up. He still insisted on bowing. Suddenly, the two of them were in a deadlock.
Gu Zheng said awkwardly, but it wasn't good for him to use his strength. He forcefully helped the other party up.
"Manager Su, don't make things difficult for me. This is what I should do. I don't deserve such great respect from you."
"Young Master Gu, you're really … ignorant!"
As Gu Zheng's voice fell, Manager Su's body softened. Then, Gu Zheng exerted some strength and slowly lifted him up. Hearing Manager Su's thanks, he was about to say something.
However, as Manager Su expressed his gratitude, the scene suddenly changed. At the same time, his hands shot out like a gust of wind and directly pressed onto the chest of the defenseless Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng had utterly never imagined that Manager Su would suddenly make a move, and he wasn't prepared in the slightest. Moreover, the strength Manager Su revealed wasn't at the peak of Jin Xian's strength, but at the intermediate-stage of the Golden Immortal Realm.
"Wah!"
The golden light on Gu Zheng's chest flickered and extinguished. A part of his chest caved in, and a clear cracking sound could be heard in the air. A mouthful of blood soared into the sky, and his entire body flew far away like a cannonball. Then, he fell heavily on the ground, no longer moving.
At this moment, Manager Su's face was gloomy. The corner of his mouth revealed a cold smile as he looked at the distant Gu Zheng.
At the side, Cang Yan was completely dumbfounded. Even though the branches binding him were no longer there and had fallen to the ground, he still looked at Manager Su in shock. He didn't expect things to turn out like this.
"Idiot, I even suspect that you're the one who exposed yourself."
Manager Su stretched out his hand and grabbed. The distant Gu Zheng was instantly sucked over. Floating in the air, he spat out mouthful after mouthful of blood that stained his entire body. His aura was extremely weak, and he looked like he could die at any moment.
That attack of his that he had accumulated power for, if he wasn't prepared for it, it meant that his opponent's life was tough enough to survive.
"Who are you? You're not Su Feijie. "A shocked Cang Yan stood up and pointed at him.
"Have you forgotten who was the one who came in first? I was only here to hide and didn't contact anyone. It seems that the outside world has forgotten about me and still thinks that I'm dead." Manager Su no longer pretended. He stood straight and said with disdain.
"Lord San, so you're still alive. We really thought that you were dead." Cang Yan said with a look of surprise. He clearly knew who the other party was.
"Of course I know. You even wanted to place your attention on me. If it wasn't for my help in the dark, do you think that you could easily control this body and hide safely? You really are an idiot." Su Feijie said with a sigh, as if he expected better from Manager Su.
"Yes, yes, we're all idiots. Back then, everyone really thought that you were dead. That's why we didn't look for you. However, the people below us are also too stupid. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been discovered by the other party. However, with Lord San here, the other party is dead for sure this time." Although Cang Yan was being scolded, he was still very excited.
He never thought that the senior he thought was dead would still be alive. After all, he was the one who came up with this plan from the very beginning. Furthermore, the things that allowed him to sneak into this place were left behind by the other party. In fact, he had already used all of them. Otherwise, he would have used them on a larger scale. Coupled with the fact that this was a good opportunity for a decisive battle, he decided to carry out this plan.
Who knew that his plan would be exposed? Even so, he had no choice but to send everyone up. Otherwise, when the other party returned and cleaned them up, he didn't think that he would be able to hide it any longer. He came here with the conviction that he would die.
"Of course. Originally, I wanted to deal a fatal blow to Huang Wei or Yu Feng. However, since he's here, I can only deal with him. Who told him to be so smart?
I'll just have to send him off, "Su Feijie took a step forward and grabbed Gu Zheng's neck, causing the strength he gathered to scatter once again. He then casually tossed him to the ground. A black band had already wrapped around his body, completely sealing him. After that, he didn't care anymore.
He couldn't take the risk of killing Gu Zheng. After all, once Gu Zheng died, the other party would most likely notice it. At that time, someone would definitely return to investigate. Before destroying this place, he had to keep Gu Zheng alive.
Since they were hiding inside, they didn't know what was going on outside.
"However, even though you've been exposed, you still launched an attack. Otherwise, I would rather have all of you die than show up. I'll continue to hide here until the best opportunity comes. I'll seal this place first. That way, no matter how big the commotion here is, the outside won't be able to notice it."
Su Feijie harrumphed coldly. He then tossed out a black light from his hand. At the same time, the piece of wood in Gu Zheng's hand hovered in mid-air.
"Lord San, I'm going to destroy the other party's core right now. I'll be able to destroy the outer protection very quickly. When that time comes, the lone peak and Guan family will cease to exist. Our Holy Soul tribe will become the eternal ruler of this place." Cang Yan said with a fanatical expression.
"Wait a moment. With your ink painting technique, you'll need at least two hours to destroy it. Even with my help, it'll still take at least half an hour. It's too exhausting. I'll use your piece of wood as the main force and the rock in my hand. At the very least, I'll be able to destroy it in half an incense stick's worth of time. Are you feeling sorry for your piece of wood?"
Su Feijie glanced at Cang Yan from the corner of his eyes. However, his hands did not stop moving. Black water droplets emitted black Qi as they surrounded the piece of wood and the rock.
"Of course, I have no objections. I'll listen to Lord San." Cang Yan was shocked and quickly replied.
Controlling this body and controlling the other party's will consumed a lot of his energy. However, now that the other party was dead, this body of his was no longer of much use to him. He could even abandon it now.
Cang Yan flew up into the sky and hovered in mid-air, waiting for the right moment.
The black water droplets below had also completely fused with the rock and wood.
"Who told you to have such a bad life? Just you wait. At the very least, you'll be able to witness the destruction of this lone city. Who told you to come here?
Su Feijie looked at the dying Gu Zheng below and laughed. He believed that Gu Zheng came here after his death.
After all, Su Feijie might have known about the higher-ups of this place. However, that information was hidden very deeply. Even if he had replaced the other party, he would not be able to retrieve it.
Gu Zheng looked at the other party with lifeless eyes. Streams of blood continued to flow out from his body. However, in the other party's eyes, the blood looked like black liquid that flowed all over his body.
"Follow behind and attack together. You'll be able to weaken the defense even more."
Su Feijie no longer asked Gu Zheng who was on the ground and ordered Cang Yan who was on the ground. After seeing Cang Yan nod his head, Su Feijie was even more prepared. Then, Rockhead and Blockhead rushed towards the heart one after another.
Cang Yan followed behind them. A small dagger appeared in his hand.
The heart above suddenly trembled when it sensed danger. The sound of a heartbeat could be heard clearly in the entire space. The blood vessels above the heart also jumped crazily. It was as if there were countless things rushing inside.
A large amount of blood threads continuously emerged from the surface and intertwined in the air, forming a huge blood-colored defense that completely covered the entire sky.
"Break for me!"
Cang Yan's eyes flashed. Seeing that Rock and Wood were about to collide with the barrier, he shouted loudly. Then he took out his weapon and charged forward, attacking the other party with all his strength.
BOOM!
Countless violent explosions suddenly sounded in the sky. However, the black barrier in front of them didn't tremble at all. It was as if the powerful attacks were nothing more than an itch.
Beside it, two tall towers that had suddenly appeared stood tall. Black gas was rising from the tops of the towers, shaking the sky and covering the sun. It stretched for thousands of miles before finally converging in the similarly huge black shield below.
Among them, there were faces that Gu Zheng was familiar with and unfamiliar with.
Huang Wei, Xu Jia, Bai Jia Jia, and the others were all inside. Opposite them, there were ten Monster Souls with even more powerful auras. They were looking at each other wantonly.
They didn't even try to stop their joint attack just now.
"This time, all of you will die here."
Among the Monster Souls on the opposite side, the leader was a silver Ghost General. The silver machete in his hand was shining brightly. If one looked carefully, it looked like starlight was flowing on it. There was a soaring baleful aura coming from it.
Behind him, there were five red Ghost Generals. Although the red machetes in their hands weren't as murderous as the silver ones, the blood aura in them was more vigorous. One could vaguely see the blood-colored heads floating inside.
Next to them, there were four Monster Souls with strong cultivation bases. One of them was a purple skeleton with purple soul fire burning in its eye sockets. It held two swords in its hands, but its strength was a little different from the previous one. It was at the Middle-stage of the Grand Heavenly Realm.
Another one was covered in black rotten flesh. It looked hard, and its face was full of holes. It looked very ferocious.
Another one was covered in a black ghost robe. His face couldn't be seen clearly. Only a pair of red eyes could be seen. However, the most eye-catching thing was the three green soul fires that were constantly rotating around him. It made people tremble from the bottom of their hearts.
The last Monster Soul was also in a purple robe. He was holding a sharp blade in his hand. His figure was constantly swaying in the air. The sharp blade on his elbow was constantly flickering with light. He looked at the opposite side with a murderous aura.
The petite Bai Jiajia looked at the opposite side and said with a headache, "This is a little bad. I told you not to be greedy. Now, we are all trapped here by the other party. There are a lot of enemies in front of us. It's really a headache."
They had already tested the defensive power of the barrier in front of them. Obviously, the defensive power was astonishing. More importantly, the black fog had also seeped into the barrier, making it look like it was covered in a layer of black fog.
The black fog wouldn't affect them for a short period of time. However, as time passed, their strength would definitely be weakened by the other party. If it weren't for the fact that they were still in their human form, they would be affected even more.
"A peak Grand Heavenly Realm, five Late-stage Grand Heavenly Realm, and four Middle-stage Grand Heavenly Realm. Tsk, tsk. It seems like the other party has invested a lot. Even if their strength will decrease a little after they come out, it's still a little despairing."
Yu Feng was born with a beautiful appearance. There was a bulging horn on her forehead, but it wasn't very obvious. She looked at the opposite side and said with a headache. It was just a headache. If they were in a dead state, then they would be in despair.
They only had two Late-stage Grand Heavenly Realm and three Middle-stage Grand Heavenly Realm. At first glance, the difference in strength was very obvious, especially when the other party had twice the number of them.
The only thing that made them feel relieved was that the other party's strength would decrease by a level. This was the terrifying part of the Sighing Plain. All the Monster Souls would be the same. In addition, their strength would decrease after they came out. At most, the difference in strength would be about the same.
"What nonsense are you talking about? They are confident that they can kill us with these. However, without our command, our soldiers below might not be able to resist. If the loss is too great, we will be completely trapped in the future. Do we still need the Lord to continue pulling more people over?" Xu Jia said from the side.
"That's impossible. The Lord has consumed a lot of energy. Didn't you notice that the number of people here is getting lesser and lesser? Because of some matters, the Lord will die if we continue to drag this on indefinitely." Sun Bo, who looked very calm, analyzed.
"What's the point of saying that? The only thing that's gratifying is that we have already made the arrangements below. At least, we can hold on for a while. Before that, what we need to do is to kill these bastards and then find a way to leave this place. Rather than worrying about this, it's better to worry about the future. I can't help but feel uneasy, especially with Gu Zheng's speculation." Huang Wei said casually.
"You're right. Perhaps the other party is trapping us to stall for time so that they can start attacking. Let's not waste any more time. I have a feeling that they won't easily fight with us. Let's stop hiding our identities and go all out to kill them." Bai Jiajia said decisively.
Even at this time, the Monster Souls of the other party didn't take the initiative to attack. In theory, they had a great advantage. Perhaps the other party had already discovered some of their identities and were trying to stall for time.
But what exactly were they trying to stall for? Could it be that something was about to happen? Was that why they were trying to stop them at all costs?
But there was a newcomer, Gu Zheng, who was a complete enemy of the Monster Souls. Just because they were trying to stop the other party from leaving, they would be chased by the Monster Souls for eternity. It was a conflict that could never be resolved.
To the Monster Souls, leaving this place was more important than the solitary peak.
"Let's go. Go all out and defeat the other party!"
The five of them immediately rushed towards the other party. They didn't care about the other party at all. They didn't even bother to hide their identities.
"Kill!"
The Silver Ghost General also shouted. Following that, the ten of them also rushed forward. This made Bai Jiajia's speculation wrong.
But this just made them feel proud.
"Rumble!"
A huge battle broke out in this wide restrictive formation. Figures of people were moving around inside like ghosts. Terrifying waves of energy were constantly rising. However, this tough restrictive formation had firmly trapped all of them inside. It was like a wrestling ring. In the end, only one side would be able to obtain victory. Edited by: Lifer, Fingerfox
Just as the chaotic battle began above them, below them, which was the so-called Sighing Plains, the Demonic Soul's huge servant army had already set off. There were more than a hundred thousand of them densely packed together, rushing towards the opposite side like a black cloud.
On the other side, the Lone Peak Army, which only had about fifty thousand people, had also gathered together. Even if the other party's attack caused the earth to shake and the mountains to shake, and the sea of Monster Souls was like a huge wave crashing towards them, they were still as steady as Mount Tai.
In this army of fifty thousand people, forty thousand of them were in the middle. Every one of them was wearing black heavy armor that almost covered their entire body. This armor was made of soul stone and had a very strong defensive power. Their weapons were also the same. They were very lethal to the Monster Souls.
However, although the Monster Souls didn't have any weapons to protect themselves, the other party's attacks were sharp enough. Even the heavy armor couldn't block much of the attacks. It would be torn apart by the other party. At that time, they would be naked and let the other party fight.
The Monster Souls' combat power had decreased, and so did their side. Neither side had the upper hand.
Everyone here was waiting for orders. They, who could summon wind and rain in the outside world, were no different from ordinary soldiers in the Great Desolate Land. Even in terms of fighting, it was the same.
They could kill or injure the other party in one blow, and the other party could also kill or injure them. This was a battle where there was no way out.
Either live or die!
Perhaps many of them were afraid, but none of them wanted to escape. It was because of the vague desire in their hearts that they were willing to come here.
