"These monster souls are too cunning. They're all special clones."
Above the sky, Bai Jiajia's figure was constantly flashing. The small fan in her hand was releasing strong attacks. However, although the monster souls in front of them attacked fiercely, they were only able to hold them back.
They didn't hide their strength at all and didn't have much of an upper hand because the strength of the other party didn't decrease. It was just a clone, so it was a little weaker. However, their hopes of ending the battle quickly were dashed.
"What can we do? The other party has been planning this for a long time. It's dangerous below. Without our help, we might not be able to hold on." Xu Jia said from the side. His face didn't look good. All of them were careless this time.
Even if they knew that this was a critical moment, they still stepped into the enemy's encirclement.
"Yeah. So, no matter what, we have to hurry up. Otherwise, the losses below will be too great and we won't have any hope."
Huang Wei looked below. The monster souls were about to surround their team. Even if they had prepared many countermeasures, the number of the other party was still twice their number.
Moreover, the other party wasn't afraid of death. They didn't know pain or fatigue. Only when they were completely dead could they be considered to be completely eliminated.
It seemed that they had the upper hand now. However, as time passed, they would definitely be tired. At that time, the losses would be great. If it was under normal circumstances, they would definitely lead them to take a detour. Unfortunately, they were still above and could only watch the battle below. This was their last order.
Before this, they didn't know that they would be trapped here, causing the situation to be somewhat out of control.
"Stop talking. Let's hurry up and get out of here!"
While the battle above was still fierce, the battle below was also getting more and more intense.
As the number of black shadows decreased, more and more monster souls had surrounded them. Fortunately, the black shadows had killed more than half of the ghost souls, greatly reducing the pressure on the other side.
Even if the auxiliary troops at the back were close to countless monster souls, they couldn't go far from the front line.
Although they were auxiliary troops, their combat strength wasn't weak. Moreover, the monster souls that could reach the back were few and they could still deal with them.
At this moment, they had officially entered a full-scale battle.
As the black shadow behind them self-destructed, a large number of monster souls nearby perished together with it. Ying Xi opened her eyes almost at the same time.
She was different from Tie Tou. After she returned, she was immediately appointed as the leader of a small team. Every one of her teammates was an elite. However, she was also the last one to wake up.
"Ying Xi, the enemy has just arrived. We've been ordered to defend the flank."
Ying Xi had just woken up when a subordinate beside her spoke.
The others had just woken up not long after the black shadow self-detonated and were recovering.
"Are you guys done? Let's go now! "
Ying Xi simply picked up a pure soul crystal and swallowed it. His somewhat chaotic aura immediately stabilized as he spoke to them.
"No problem, but do you want to take a break first? You can go later," a member beside him said with concern.
"No need, let's go now!" Ying Xi waved his hand and said immediately.
After she finished speaking, she took off her loose black coat, revealing a silver-white dress inside. It looked very luxurious and was very conspicuous in such a black crowd.
"Ying Xi, this is?"
Although the black robe was ugly, it could increase the power of the spells they released. Otherwise, for the monster souls, even if they learned the spells here, the effect would at least be greatly reduced.
"Don't worry, this is a dress my friend gave me. Its effect is better than this and its power is greater," Ying Xi said confidently.
Of course, this dress was also given to her by Gu Zheng. Its effect was needless to say.
Hearing Ying Xi's words, the others didn't say much. Under her lead, they hurriedly walked to the predetermined place.
"Oh no, the seventh team is surrounded."
They were about to reach the predetermined area when they found that some monster souls had surrounded the seventh team. The people next to them were entangled by the monster souls and couldn't free up to rescue them for a while. The other party had replaced them to guard here, but their strength seemed to be a little weak.
"You guys step back, I'll do it!"
Ying Xi glanced over and said immediately.
"Ying Xi, it's very dangerous. There are too many of them. Let's rescue them from the back first."
Ignoring the worries of the team members, Ying Xi sped up and left the team. In the blink of an eye, she was not far away from the monster souls. Some of the monster souls found her alone and rushed towards her with a strange smile.
"Be careful, Ying Xi!"
Ying Xi looked at the monster souls rushing towards her. It seemed that she was about to be torn apart by them. A smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. She directly stretched out a palm. There was a trace of cold air on it. With a wave of her hand, it fluttered with the wind.
The monster souls that were rushing towards her suddenly froze in the air. Then a layer of frost appeared on their bodies. "Ka Ka", a crisp sound was heard. Countless cracks appeared on the monster souls' bodies. In the blink of an eye, they turned into ice shards and fell to the ground.
His appearance also shocked his companions behind him. They never thought that Ying Xi would be able to kill his opponent so easily. Normally, it would take at least some time to kill his opponent, and he might even end up in a difficult situation. But now, his strength seemed to have suddenly risen by a level.
Their eyes focused on Ying Xi's clothes. She said she was going to complete a secret mission. Could this be the reward? They were envious.
This was just the beginning. Ying Xi gently blew in front of her. A wisp of cold air flew out of her mouth. As soon as it left her body, it turned into a cold wind and blew towards the monster souls in front of her.
Those monster souls that were attacking felt their bodies become heavier and heavier. Soon, they were frozen and couldn't move. They were shattered by the surprised members of the seventh team and turned into wisps of black smoke.
"Sister Ying Xi, thank you for saving us."
The leader of the seventh team was also a woman. She didn't look very old. Looking around, she knew who had made these monster souls like this. She immediately thanked Ying Xi.
The other members also thanked her.
"Is there a need to thank me? I also want to thank you for your hard work in blocking the monster souls here. Now that we are here, let's go back and rest. There will be a fierce battle later. "Ying Xi also smiled at them.
"Then we will go back first."
The other side didn't stand on ceremony. They also needed to rest at this time.
"Ying Xi, you are amazing. Is this dress really so good?"
At this time, the monster souls still hadn't rushed over. One of the members said enviously.
"Of course. Don't worry. With me here, you will definitely be safe. The enemy is here. Fight well." Ying Xi said confidently.
The angry roars coming from the front made people have the urge to charge forward.
Ying Xi looked at the approaching monster souls and smiled. She stretched out her hand again. This time, it was no longer the cold wind that condensed on it, but ice crystals that flashed with cold light.
BOOM!
A black shadow fell from the sky. With one blow, it sent the black stones and wood flying. It didn't even slow down as it rushed towards Cang Yan.
Cang Yan didn't expect that there would be an ambush above. Fortunately, he was prepared to attack. In a hurry, he turned his wrist and his fist directly flew towards the sky.
Unfortunately, it was a hasty attack that had been planned for a long time. Adding on the fact that the enemy was descending from the sky, he had to go up instead. The difference was too great. Just as they came into contact, Cang Yan's arm shattered in midair. The fist was also heading towards his head. It wanted to take advantage of the situation to kill him.
At the crucial moment, his body suddenly stopped in midair. He even retreated three meters. Then, when the enemy's fist was about to reach him, he suddenly tilted and the fist landed on his shoulder.
Bang! A loud sound was heard.
Half of his body was shattered. Then his body was like a kite with a broken string. Black liquid filled the sky as he fell down.
The black shadow clearly didn't want to let him go. It once again accelerated, wanting to kill him in midair.
However, the people below clearly didn't think so. Su Feijie's face sank. He had never imagined that there would be an ambush above. He had been too careless. The black stones and wood weren't protected at all. They were destroyed so easily by the enemy. He couldn't use them even if he wanted to.
He glanced at the captured Gu Zheng. He didn't have the pained expression from before. Instead, he was looking at him with a smile, as if mocking his ignorance.
He didn't have time to squabble with this fake person. His figure flickered and he appeared above Cang Yan. He also extended his fist and punched above.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
A loud sound followed by a series of fists colliding. The black shadow above had exchanged several hundred blows with Su Feijie in an instant. Only then did it take the opportunity to fly into the air and stop in another open space. It smiled as it looked over.
"Gu Zheng! You were actually hiding up there without me noticing. When did you hide? "Su Feijie's eyes twitched. He couldn't help but ask.
"When you weren't planning to leave, you attracted my attention. You're just a peak Jin Xian. Why would you help me? Aside from me, there doesn't seem to be any other Grand Heavenly Realm cultivators. Theoretically speaking, I shouldn't be in any danger. Furthermore, you weren't afraid.
Thus, I decided to keep an eye on you. "Gu Zheng maintained the smile on his face. However, he was already on guard. The other party wasn't an early-stage Grand Heavenly Realm cultivator, but a mid-stage Grand Heavenly Realm cultivator. Furthermore, he seemed to be a very powerful character. Gu Zheng was able to tell from the short exchange earlier.
"So that's the case. I never thought that I would be exposed because of that one sentence. After so many years, I ended up revealing a flaw. However, you're not bad either. If it was Huang Wei, he would definitely not suspect you." Su Feijie wasn't angry. Instead, he reflected on his mistake.
"Lord San …"
Cang Yan, who only had half of his body left, begged Su Feijie for help.
"This place has already been sealed. What are you still doing with your broken body? Hurry up and come out. Let's help." Su Feijie said in an annoyed tone.
As for Gu Zheng, he kept his things and watched as Gu Zheng turned into nothingness and dissipated on the ground.
Cang Yan revealed a pleasantly surprised expression when he heard that. He was afraid that his sudden appearance would alert the people outside. He didn't know what was going on in the Sighing Plains. If one of them returned, the two of them wouldn't be able to bear the consequences.
It wasn't that they weren't willing to infiltrate someone with a higher cultivation. Rather, they wouldn't be able to maintain themselves if the other party had a higher cultivation. They wouldn't be able to control them.
A large amount of black qi emerged from Cang Yan's body. Soon, Cang Yan's body disappeared within the black qi. A man in green clothes appeared where he originally was. Just like the Demon Soul that Gu Zheng was familiar with, he only had the upper half of his body. Below him was a sea of boiling green mist.
As the other party returned to his original state, the damage that Gu Zheng inflicted on him was negligible. At this moment, an early-stage Grand Heavenly Immortal and a mid-stage Grand Heavenly Immortal were right in front of him.
"Looks like you're very confident. You're not panicking even when facing us. I really wonder how you died." Su Feijie had been paying attention to Gu Zheng's state. Seeing that he didn't show any signs of panic, she couldn't help but comment.
This kind of person was either courageous or adorably foolish. However, the other party was clearly not the latter.
"Lord San, why waste your breath on him? Let's just kill him. Once we destroy the lone peak, he'll be like a rootless duckweed. He won't be able to cause trouble for us in the future." Cang Yan's face was ashen. Even his eyes had turned green. He looked at Gu Zheng and spoke with ill intentions.
In his opinion, even if Gu Zheng was smart enough to avoid Lord San's sneak attack, he wouldn't be able to hold on for long under the joint attack of the two of them.
Although he was a little weak, he had Lord San. As long as those two didn't take action, he was confident that no one on the lone peak would be a match for him.
Lord San nodded his head slightly. He also felt that a long delay might lead to trouble. Just as he was about to take action, Gu Zheng suddenly took a step back. At the same time, he spoke with a faint smile.
"You think you're that confident? Do you think I'm alone?"
"Haha, what kind of joke is this? Of course I know that you're alone. Are you afraid and trying to stall for time?" Su Feijie was stunned for a moment before laughing out. At the same time, she gestured for Cang Yan to surround him from the side.
He had been following Gu Zheng ever since he came into contact with him. It could be said that he had been watching Gu Zheng's actions from the beginning. Before this, Gu Zheng did not suspect him at all. In fact, he had discussed many things with him before making his decision. Furthermore, he did not inform anyone outside in order to make sure that he was alone.
"Ignorant. You didn't grab hold of such a good opportunity. That means you have no hope at all," Gu Zheng said with a sigh as he shook his head.
If the other party had not revealed a flaw, Gu Zheng believed that he would not have been lucky enough to be heavily injured by the other party. Unfortunately, in order to be safe, or perhaps due to other concerns, the other party did not take action midway. In the end, he had no chance at all.
"Xu Ling!"
While Gu Zheng was speaking, Cang Yan took the opportunity to rush out. A green wooden staff weapon had appeared in his hand and he swung it viciously at Gu Zheng's waist.
Seeing that, Gu Zheng roared out and ripples appeared in the air beside him. In an instant, a white Spiritual Guard wielding a long spear appeared from the air. Coincidentally, it extended its weapon and blocked Cang Yan's attack.
"Spiritual Body? Since you have such a thing, I can't let you live. You keep Gu Zheng busy first. I'll deal with the other party's Spiritual Guard first. "
Sensing the Spiritual Guard's aura, Su Feijie's face turned solemn. Her figure flashed as she tried to get past Gu Zheng to fight the Spiritual Guard. Even if it was a useless puppet, the difference in level was enough to put Cang Yan into a difficult situation.
However, how could Gu Zheng allow her to do as she wished? At the same time that the other party moved, he also blocked her path and reached out to grab her shoulder.
"Then I'll deal with you first. Move around and don't fight him head-on."
After exchanging blows with Gu Zheng, Su Feijie saw that she had no chance of getting rid of him and immediately changed her mind.
"Don't worry, Sir San. I'll lure the other party away so that you can kill him without worry."
Cang Yan's voice came from afar. Under his deliberate guidance, the Spiritual Guard actually followed the other party away.
Originally, Su Feijie thought that Gu Zheng would try to control the Spiritual Guard. She only needed to interfere. However, the other party had no intention of controlling the Spiritual Guard at all and had Cang Yan lure the Spiritual Guard away.
"I only want to lure the other party away so that they won't disturb our battle."
Perhaps sensing Su Feijie's doubts, Gu Zheng took the initiative to speak up.
"Haha, you're too naive. Or perhaps you're just a daredevil. Since you want to die so much, I'll fulfill your wish."
Su Feijie raised his head to the sky and laughed, then his face sank, and his whole body instantly disappeared in the air.
When she reappeared, she was already behind Gu Zheng. Her body was covered in a layer of black light as she reached out to grab the back of Gu Zheng's head. She wanted to use her absolute strength to show this brat how ignorant he was to think that he could resist her for a bit.
At the same time, her laughter was still echoing in the air.
Facing Su Feijie's seemingly teleportation-like movement, Gu Zheng seemed to have already anticipated it. As soon as the other party attacked, he charged forward, turned around, raised his arm, and directly aimed for Su Feijie's abdomen.
To Su Feijie's surprise, the other party's speed was actually three times faster than her. Before she could hit the other party, she would be the first to receive his attack.
At the same time, Su Feijie's claw descended, preparing to grab the other party's arm in midair. At the same time, she raised her leg and aimed her knee at Gu Zheng's crotch.
"How sinister."
Gu Zheng's pupils shrank. Then, he stomped on the ground and used the recoil to dodge the attack. At the same time, he raised his other leg and kicked Su Feijie's back.
Unfortunately, it was only an illusion that was shattered by him, and Su Feijie had already appeared on his side at an unknown time. Seeing that Gu Zheng had revealed a momentary gap in his attack, a cold smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. A pair of seemingly ordinary sharp claws had already appeared in front of Gu Zheng's chest.
"Puchi"
Gu Zheng saw the other party's attack. At this time, he didn't have the opportunity to attack. He was very calm and used the momentum of his kick to teleport forward.
With such a short distance, the attack that could have split open Gu Zheng's stomach ended up tearing the clothes on his chest into pieces.
Su Feijie originally thought that she would be able to leave a mark on Gu Zheng's body. Seeing that the other party had such a method, she didn't withdraw her hand. Instead, she turned her claw into a fist and rushed forward to attack the other party.
However, Gu Zheng had already pulled back his hand and used his wrist to hit the other party's wrist.
"Bang"
A gust of strong wind blew, and the two figures quickly separated in the air, each going to the left and right.
"No wonder you were so confident. You're really not bad!"
