"I'll wait for you here!"
Gu Zheng's eyebrows twitched. He stretched out a finger and waved it at it in a provocative manner.
Was he afraid of its threat? Not at all!
Swish! Swish!
The demon soul stopped talking, and two black and white umbrellas attacked from the left and right.
However, halfway through, the black umbrella was blocked by the Hollow Spirit.
The white umbrella had already circled around from the side.
Gu Zheng put away the soul stone in his hand, then took out a standard weapon here and rushed over.
The other party's body was much smaller than before. Although its aura still seemed strong, Gu Zheng did not believe that it could use this technique to escape with the same combat power as before.
When the white umbrella was about to approach, it also copied the previous move. Its entire body spun rapidly, leaving behind a white streak in the air, and aggressively charged at Gu Zheng.
"Strong on the outside but weak on the inside!"
Gu Zheng raised the weapon in his hand and shouted disdainfully. At the same time, he slashed fiercely with his saber. Countless energy condensed around the saber, making the black saber look abnormally bright, with an aura that could split heaven and earth.
Previously, the feeling that the other party gave him was a desperate and unstoppable aura. However, in front of him, there was at most a trace of a dangerous aura. The two were not on the same level at all.
Clang!
With a crisp sound, the white demon soul in front of him flew out, and the rotating aura on its body dissipated at the same time.
Gu Zheng looked at the broken part of the weapon in his hand and was stunned. He did not expect that the weapon that he chose to strengthen was also so fragile.
Only then did he realize that these things seemed to be for the soldiers to use. Even if they were strengthened, they were still very fragile to him.
However, the white demon soul's strength had also decreased tremendously. Compared to its initial state, it was like it had just stepped into the mid-stage of the Zenith Heaven Realm.
Bang!
On the other side, the Hollow Spirit had successfully suppressed the black demon soul at this time and directly sent it flying with a swing of his staff. Just as he was about to chase after it, the black demon soul flashed and came to the white one. The two merged again and returned to its original appearance.
"Sword Power Everywhere!"
The Demonic Soul that had returned to its original form did not waste any more words. Its entire body suddenly shot up, and the sharp blades on the umbrella frame actually broke free from it. They rose around the umbrella like tens of thousands of swords, and were rapidly expanding.
While the sharp blades were expanding, they were also fusing together. Every time they fused together, their power would increase. In the blink of an eye, only a few huge sharp blades were left. They were like giant swords that were still fusing together.
Suspended in mid-air, Gu Zheng's breathing became sluggish. A terrifying pressure came from those sharp blades, causing Gu Zheng's body to instantly fall from the sky to the ground. It was as if an irresistible mountain was pressing down on his head, making him unable to move.
The ground beneath his feet was already cracking inch by inch, and the cracks were spreading in all directions.
Those sharp blades in the air were like murderous weapons that could take people's lives. The entire space was filled with a murderous aura, making people feel that when they fell, it would be the time of the slaughter.
On the other side, the Hollow Spirit had already come to Gu Zheng's side. Without saying a word, she raised the golden shield. Even the weapon in her hand transformed into a second layer of black shield, enveloping Gu Zheng. However, he did not have any protection. Obviously, she felt that he could not withstand the other party's hateful attack at all.
After the Hollow Spirit did all this, there were only two sharp blades left in the air. The hooks under the sharp ends were even more dazzling with a cold light that could take people's lives.
"If you don't die, who will?!"
With a furious roar from the Demonic Soul, the last two sharp blades pressed down fiercely in the shape of a cross.
With Gu Zheng as the center, when the sharp blades above fell, he directly stomped down an inch, and cracks that reflected the sky appeared on the ground.
Just the aftermath of the falling power made the golden shield outside begin to tremble constantly.
Although the all-out attack of an extremely powerful mid-stage Luo Yunyang wasn't truly earth-shattering, it was still a huge disaster for Gu Zheng.
The cultivation of the Hollow Spirit was much lower than that of the other party. Now, it was even more difficult for him to stop the other party because he was not good at defense.
"Swish!"
The Hollow Spirit next to him suddenly disappeared. When she reappeared, she was already above his head. Her whole body was shining with white light, like a blooming white lotus. She was so holy and pure. She bumped into the first sharp blade above.
"Boom!"
As she approached the sharp blade, the Hollow Spirit directly stretched out her hands and fearlessly protected it. Her whole body was hit by the fierce Qi and suddenly became a little illusory. However, in the next moment, her body bloomed directly in the air like it was daytime.
She used her own self-explosion to forcibly weaken the other party's attack. The first thing to bear the brunt was the sharp blade. It directly disappeared in the air with the Hollow Spirit. The huge aftermath even shook the sharp blade in the air.
Seeing this, the Goblin Soul in the air quickly shrunk and returned to the shape of an umbrella. Then, it streaked across the air and heavily hit the middle of the sharp blade in midair. The originally swaying sharp blade instantly stabilized and accelerated its descent.
Before the huge aftermath in the air dissipated, the sharp blade had already broken through and cut into the golden shield at the top.
At the moment of contact, the golden shield only trembled suddenly, as if it wanted to dissolve the power on its body. However, the power was obviously far beyond what it could bear. It instantly turned into a ball of golden light and shattered in the air.
The sharp blade slowed down a little and then fell on the second layer of defense. A layer of ripples emerged from the top, forming dense ripples in the blink of an eye and surging out.
After the first block, the power of the sharp blade decreased a lot. However, after only three breaths, the white shield also collapsed and scattered. However, at the same time, a black light emerged from it and quickly drilled into the sharp blade in front of it, wantonly destroying it.
The sharp blade that broke through two layers of defense in succession was no longer as unstoppable as it was at the beginning. In particular, under the disturbance of the black light inside, even its aura seemed to be a little unstable.
As the white light dissipated, Gu Zheng was revealed with a calm expression. In front of him was a layer of colorful shield, which looked even stronger than the previous two.
The Demon Soul did not expect Gu Zheng to have so many defenses on his side. He did not even hesitate to sacrifice a middle-stage Zenith Heaven subordinate to reduce the damage he suffered. This was something he did not expect.
"Crash!"
Seeing that his attack did not seem to be able to do anything to his opponent, his entire body rapidly spread out in the sky. A circle of fine black lines rose on the surface. Then, accompanied by the sound of chains swaying, all the black dots rose from the surface and turned into countless black fog clouds. Among them, an equally thick black chain was connected.
The demonic soul's body spun, causing the black clumps to spin as well. A huge black pillar was formed, and then it condensed in a frenzy. Finally, it condensed into a black peak that was ten feet in size. It then fell from the sky, and only when it fell did it collide with Gu Zheng's blade.
He had tried his best to kill Gu Zheng.
"Boom!"
Before the outcome of the battle between the sharp blade and the bottom was decided, a huge roar exploded in the space. The surrounding ground quickly collapsed, and even the surroundings were rustling with stones.
A huge storm swept out, cutting off three feet of the hard ground within a radius of 300 meters.
With such a huge movement, even the people outside could see that the lonely peak was trembling slightly, as if it was about to collapse.
"Will Lord Gu be alright?"
After the chaos outside had settled down, Xiao An looked at the strange appearance of the lonely peak and said worriedly.
At this moment, after they had dealt with the Demon Souls, they quickly went inside and helped Zhe Xing deal with all the Demon Souls that were causing trouble.
They did not have many casualties, but many of the civilians were accidentally injured. There was nothing they could do, so the losses were very small and could be completely ignored.
"There should be no problem. Although these Demon Souls are strong, we have already seen through their plan. It is impossible for Demon Souls above the Zenith Heaven Realm to enter here. There should be no problem."
Xiao Qing also looked at the lonely peak that was gradually calming down and said confidently.
Of course, he did not know what had happened inside, but he felt very optimistic.
"I hope so."
Thinking of Xiao Qing's words, he did not intend to delve deeper. He prepared to interrogate the captives. Although it was called an interrogation, it was actually similar to a soul search. Although the captives were almost dead, they did not care.
Inside the lonely peak, even if there was a violent shock, there would be a time when it would dissipate.
As the inside calmed down and felt the exhaustion in his body, the tired Demon Soul appeared in the sky again, staring at the black smoke below. Unfortunately, he could not see through the smoke left behind by his attack. However, in his mind, even if the other party was not dead, he was not far from death. There was not much difference between him and a cripple.
He was very confident about this.
Just as he was about to go down and take the risk of dying together with the other party to check, a familiar figure quickly flew over from afar.
"How is this possible!"
Seeing Xu Ling appear in front of him again, even he could not believe it. He clearly saw that the other party had self-destructed and was dead, but now he appeared in front of him.
Unfortunately, even if he did not believe it, he could not change the fact that Xu Ling had appeared again. As he approached, his weapon and shield condensed in the air again and flew towards the other party. They did not seem to be damaged at all.
This stunned the Demon Soul again. Such a strange thing had exceeded his imagination.
If it were Xu Ling, it could be said that the other party was created by some kind of sustenance. Sustenance would not appear under certain conditions. However, the magic treasure in the other party's hand was clearly destroyed. How could it appear again?
While the other party was still in a daze, a slow-moving object flew out from the black mist below. It didn't look slow, but after a glance, it was just an ordinary Soul Stone. Trying to use this method to interfere with the Soul Stone was simply too laughable.
However, he could also see that the other party was weak. After thinking for a while, the Demon Soul no longer paid attention to it and prepared to dodge the attack of Xu Ling.
He wanted to find the other party's sustenance nearby and destroy it. Then, Xu Ling would be destroyed by himself.
However, the moment he shifted his gaze away, the originally slow Soul Stone suddenly sped up. In an instant, it was already beside him, exuding an aura that made him shudder.
"Oh no, it's real!"
An idea suddenly came to the Demon Soul's mind, and he immediately wanted to dodge.
What made him despair was that a golden shield had already appeared beside him in an arc, completely blocking his path.
Even if he could break through in half a breath's time, it was already too late.
At the same time he made his move, the Soul Stone beside him had already quietly exploded. There was no violent wind or turbulence, only a wisp of pure black mist calmly emerged, quickly wrapping around the Demon Soul, not giving it any time to escape.
"Ahhh!"
The Demon Soul's screams instantly came from the black smoke inside. The whole black smoke kept bulging and became strangely shaped. It seemed that the Demon Soul inside wanted to rush out. However, how could something that could make the other party afraid be broken so easily?
After a full five minutes, the screams inside became softer and softer. Even the other party's struggle could be seen. It was getting weaker and weaker.
Gu Zheng had already flown out from below and stood in mid-air, looking at the miserable state of the Demon Soul. There were bloodstains on his body. The other party's attack was so fierce, but even in the end, it still suffered serious injuries.
However, using the previous feints, he added a trace of illusion this time to make the other party think that he was scaring it and not letting it come down. In the end, the other party was so easily fooled.
At this time, the black smoke in front of him was getting dimmer and dimmer, and he could vaguely see the other party's outline. The Xu Ling stood not far in front of Gu Zheng, looking ahead vigilantly. If there was any danger, he would not hesitate to rush in.
However, their worries were unnecessary.
The black smoke had not dissipated yet. When it felt that there was still one-third of it left, the Demon Soul inside fell straight to the ground.
At this time, its whole body was in tatters. There were hundreds of holes of different sizes on its body, as if it had been soaked in sulfuric acid. Its aura had fallen to the bottom, and it did not even have the strength to resist.
"It's really a killing machine. If only I had another one for self-defense. It seems that when the Demon Soul is weak to a certain extent, it's useless. It's really strange. It would be perfect if I could kill the other party in one go."
Remembering that there were two more in the warehouse, Gu Zheng was a little excited. However, his expression soon calmed down. The other party would definitely not give it to him.
"Kill him!"
Looking at the Demon Soul below, which occasionally twitched to show that it was not dead, Gu Zheng directly ordered.
He was not willing to go forward. If the other party had some tricks up his sleeve, he would be in trouble. It was better to be careful.
Hearing this, the Xu Ling immediately went down. The long spear in his hand was directly thrown down from the air. The other party did not struggle at all and was firmly nailed to the ground.
The Demon Soul, who was already seriously injured, did not make any extra movements after receiving the last blow. It directly turned into a black light that filled the sky and dissipated.
Seeing this, Gu Zheng nodded with satisfaction. This time, the other party was really dead. It was really powerful.
After the other party was defeated, the Xu Ling also turned into a ball of white light and disappeared.
In the distance, Yan Yufei rushed over with the Cloud Desolate Sword in her hand. Even if she was just commanding the Xu Ling, her face was full of fatigue.
"Only the second time!"
After Yan Yufei came to Gu Zheng's side, she handed the Cloud Desolate Sword to Gu Zheng and said without rhyme or reason.
Gu Zheng was taken aback. Then, he took the Cloud Desolate Sword and looked at the space in the sword. Only then did he find the problem.
The originally blue sky was now a little dim, and even the seawater beside the island had dropped by more than a hundred feet.
"I understand! I'll try my best to find a way to replenish it. "
Gu Zheng nodded solemnly.
Her meaning was very clear. Although the Xu Ling was formed from Spirit Guards, it consumed a lot of energy, especially after the death of the other party, which was even more costly.
In normal battles, the support of the Spirit Guards was enough, and that was only to summon the other party. However, if the Spirit Guards were to be condensed again after death, they had to replenish the huge deficit, and replenish it by drawing out the reserves in the space. In other words, the space would be empty after the Xu Ling died two more times.
Thinking of this, Gu Zheng felt a little headache. After all, he was still imagining how powerful the sword would be when the space was full. Before he could find a way to replenish it, he had already started to rely on it.
"It's okay now. I have to go back and rest for a while." Yan Yufei interrupted Gu Zheng's thoughts.
"Oh, that's fine. Have a good rest. Come out when you're better." Hearing this, Gu Zheng looked at her struggling spirit and immediately nodded in agreement. At the same time, he let go of the Cloud Desolate Sword and let it float in the air.
Yan Yufei looked at the Cloud Desolate Sword, and her body began to blur. Then, she turned into a white light and disappeared.
Gu Zheng reached out and grabbed the Cloud Desolate Sword, and then kept it.
Looking at the mess around him, he shook his head and swallowed a pill. As long as the heart was fine, nothing else mattered.
However, just as he was about to leave, his eyes swept across the place where the umbrella-shaped Demon Soul was and he immediately stopped.
At the place where the Demon Soul died, a pair of small jade stones lay on the ground.
One was black, and the other was white. There were white and black characters engraved on them.
Yin! Yang!
No matter from which angle, the two characters were always facing the opposite direction.
"Strange, that's from the Demon Soul's body?"
Gu Zheng picked up the two jade stones. The two egg-sized objects fit perfectly in his hands.
Feeling the cold aura in his hands, Gu Zheng examined them, but did not find anything special. They looked just like ordinary jade stones.
He originally thought that these two things were related to the umbrella-shaped Demon Soul, or even transformed by it. Unfortunately, that was not the case.
However, thinking about how it hid itself so well, perhaps this was the key to not being discovered.
No matter what, he had to put them away.
Following this, Gu Zheng's body flew back along the path he came from.
He didn't tell Su Feijie that the badge Huang Wei gave him could also prevent him from falling into traps. Huang Wei specifically told him to do so in order to ensure his safety, so that he wouldn't be killed by Monster Souls on the way here.
However, what they did not expect was that the real Su Feijie had died long ago, and the one who had been working for them was their enemy. If they knew, they would be ashamed to death that they had been touched by someone else.
If it wasn't for the fact that the other party had a big plan, they would have suffered a huge blow.
After leaving, Gu Zheng calmed down a bit before rushing to the Southern City. He found that everything had been settled, and there were only a few ordinary guards stationed here. Without wasting any time, he flew towards the patrol team's station.
After having his subordinates finish their work, he would gather here and be on guard again.
At that time, Gu Zheng did not expect the other party to have been hiding for so long, and there were so many of them. He thought that there was an elite Demon Soul team outside, and they worked together to kill.
"Lord Gu, this is bad!"
As soon as Gu Zheng entered the courtyard, Xiao An came out to greet him and said somewhat anxiously.
