Bang!
The Seventh Elder's figure suddenly trembled in the air. Then, like a bird that had lost control, he fell into the distance. Almost at the same time, he passed by Gu Zheng in the air and flew in the opposite direction.
In fact, Gu Zheng could even see the anger in the other party's eyes.
The four figures passed by each other in the air. The two Divine Patrols seemed to have taken their opponents seriously. Their eyes were filled with excitement as they chased after Gu Zheng and the Seventh Elder.
After flying for a while, the Seventh Elder suddenly stopped in midair. Then, as if he was weightless, he floated down. His body also slowly dissipated in the air. The black mist on his body was also peeled off at the same time. He had temporarily escaped the pursuit of the Divine Patrols.
However, Gu Zheng did not attempt to stop. Instead, he borrowed the power of the Divine Patrols to increase his speed. This caused the Divine Patrols behind him to be somewhat stunned. However, they did not care. The Divine Patrols flapped their wings even faster. Their speed suddenly increased as they rushed towards Gu Zheng.
At this time, Gu Zheng had already reduced the Divine Patrols' power by more than half. His body was still sore. Seeing that the Divine Patrols had caught up to him as he had expected, he relaxed. He had been afraid that the Divine Patrols would join hands and support each other. When the two sides fought, they would definitely be more coordinated than him and the Seventh Elder. That would be troublesome.
Moreover, the strength of the Divine Patrols had caused his heart to sink slightly. The Divine Patrols had already reached the late stage of the Human Soul realm. They were much stronger than him. When he had first noticed this, it had really given him a big fright. The Divine Patrols' combat strength far exceeded his own. It was so much that he was a little unconfident. He had even wanted to wait for the Seventh Elder to deal with the Divine Patrols before coming to help him.
The Divine Patrols knew that they would definitely return here and had hurriedly set up a trap. The Seventh Elder had not expected the Divine Patrols to react so quickly. Caught off guard, they had directly fallen into the trap.
Fortunately, the Divine Patrols had been in a hurry and had not had time to set up any traps with great lethality. Just this one trap alone had put them in a somewhat difficult situation.
When the Divine Patrol saw that the distance between the two of them had closed to a certain extent, he waved the large banner in his hand. In front of Gu Zheng, dense black threads appeared out of thin air. They were like small snakes, twisting and slithering in the air. They nimbly circled around Gu Zheng from three sides, blocking his path.
The moment the black strands appeared, Gu Zheng slashed down with his hand. A sharp golden sword Qi suddenly flew out. The golden light spread out and the sword Qi was dense. It landed directly on the strands and actually pierced a narrow gap in the middle.
Gu Zheng did not expect this. At this time, he had already half-turned and was ready to rush to the side that was not surrounded. In fact, he did not think that he would be able to break through the opponent's attack. The gap was not big, but it was enough for him to pass through.
However, at this time, he did not have the time to adjust his body and rush through the gap that he had opened. Because in the blink of an eye, the black strands gathered again and blocked the gap.
Gu Zheng only took a glance and had a trace of doubt in his heart. He lowered his body and rushed forward, just in time to avoid the Divine Patrol's large banner that had suddenly lengthened. He could feel the powerful whistling sound behind him, mixed with a wave of Qi that surged towards Gu Zheng's back.
Even the Qi wave beside these attacks was enough to kill a Golden Wall with a weak cultivation. However, to Gu Zheng, it was enough to make his speed suddenly jump and accelerate away from the Divine Patrol's side.
Just by opening up a little distance, Gu Zheng suddenly turned around. The Desolate Cloud Sword in his hand also turned. Countless golden lights suddenly spread out from it. Sword Qi with an astonishing aura appeared in front of him and rushed towards the Divine Patrol not far away like a torrent.
However, the Divine Patrol did not care about Gu Zheng's powerful attack. The large banner in his hand was erected and a layer of faint black light spread out from it. Countless sword Qi hit it, only leaving behind ripples. It did not hinder the Divine Patrol's footsteps at all. In the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of Gu Zheng.
"Roar!"
A low roar like that of a wild beast came from the banner that the Divine Patrol held high. At the same time, a large amount of black Qi condensed from the banner. A black tiger-shaped figure jumped out of the black Qi and let out a majestic roar. Then, it circled around to the side and attacked Gu Zheng.
The banner in the Divine Patrol's hand did not stop at all. It directly pressed down on Gu Zheng. It was as if Mount Tai was pressing down, giving people an unstoppable sense of despair. It wanted to shatter him in the air.
Before the banner fell, a strong sense of spatial oppression appeared around him. It was as if he had fallen into a swamp. Every movement was slowed down a little. It was as if his whole body was moving in slow motion.
The moment he sensed that something was wrong, Gu Zheng also stimulated the power in his hand at the same time. His body instantly broke away from the suppression of the Divine Patrol and retreated at the same time.
As for blocking the Divine Patrol's attack, that was an idea that could never be thought of. If he blocked it, he would be seriously injured even if he did not die.
However, he wanted to leave safely. The Black Tiger next to him did not agree. Its whole body fell from the sky and directly blocked him from behind. It pounced towards him.
As long as it was obstructed, Gu Zheng had no doubt that the large banner behind it would press down and crush it into smithereens.
At this critical moment, to be on the safe side, he could not rely on his sword to open a way out. A white light appeared outside, and Xu Ling instantly pounced on the Black Tiger.
The two collided and flew forward like a rolling gourd. It opened a path for him. Gu Zheng quickly left the range of the Divine Patrol through a gap at the side and dodged another attack.
At this time, a white light flashed beside him. Xu Ling had actually dispersed the Black Tiger and returned to Gu Zheng's side. He looked at the Divine Patrol in front of him with a solemn expression. He was not afraid of the Divine Patrol's aura at all.
"It's settled so quickly."
Gu Zheng, who was at the side, was stunned. That black fog was obviously the monster in the Divine Patrol's banner. Its strength was at the mid-stage of Zenith Heaven. However, it felt like an ordinary demon beast and easily dealt with it.
However, this was not the time to delve into it. After the Divine Patrol's attack missed, he had already strode towards them again. Endless pressure unscrupulously attacked them, making Gu Zheng feel as if he was in the middle of a stormy sea.
Gu Zheng stopped Xu Ling, who was about to make a move. He and Xu Ling both flashed and ran in different directions.
The Divine Patrol did not hesitate at all. He turned around and chased after Gu Zheng. He knew that Xu Ling was similar to the Black Tiger he summoned. However, he did not expect that a mere early-stage Human Soul Stage cultivator would have a mid-stage Human Soul Stage guard.
As soon as he turned around, a white beam of light suddenly hit him from behind. It turned out that Xu Ling had directly launched a long-range attack when he saw that the other party did not care about him at all. The tip of the spear in his hand shot out a beam of light that was as thick as the mouth of a bowl.
If it were not for Gu Zheng's arrangement that he could not get close no matter what, he would have already rushed forward. The attack that Gu Zheng could not block was not so terrifying to Xu Ling.
However, the Divine Patrol's body trembled. He did not mind at all. The layer of black armor on his body emitted a faint light, blocking the beam of light. He was not hurt at all. Using the force of the beam of light, he flapped his wings and accelerated to arrive in front of Gu Zheng.
This time, he did not launch an attack directly. The thick banner in his hand was powerful, but its speed was relatively slow. He moved one of his hands away from the banner, revealing three thick fingers. He grabbed at it from afar, and a powerful force once again bound the surroundings, restricting Gu Zheng's space.
However, such a simple restriction did not have much effect on Gu Zheng. The surrounding golden light spread. With the power of the Cloud Desolate Sword, he could easily break through everything around him. At most, he could delay it a little, allowing the Divine Patrol to completely close in to him within three feet.
He was already within the range of the Divine Patrol's attack.
The Divine Patrol seemed to know this and did not expect to be able to trap the opponent. He shook his hand slightly, and the black banner lit up again. Countless black lights came out of it, instantly rushing towards Gu Zheng's head. They formed a three-sided black shield with an empty bottom. It directly covered Gu Zheng.
This time, Gu Zheng was shocked. At this time, under the Divine Patrol's attack, he did not dare to be distracted. If he wanted to do anything, the Divine Patrol's banner would fall at any time. At that time, he did not dare to say that he could dodge the Divine Patrol's attack.
If he made a mistake, under the Divine Patrol's consecutive attacks, he would probably be suppressed to death.
The Xu Ling behind him also sped up and rushed over. However, they were all moving rapidly in the air and could not stop the Divine Patrol in time. Gu Zheng could only watch as the layer of imprisonment above his head pressed down on him, forcing his body directly to the ground. Soon, he landed on the ground and was covered by the black shield.
At the same time as the black cover fell, the two sides continued to extend downwards, completely sealing Gu Zheng inside, making it impossible for him to escape through the ground.
At this time, the Xu Ling behind him also rushed up. The golden shield in his hand suddenly expanded, and ferocious spikes protruded from it. With a courageous momentum, he directly slammed into the Divine Patrol's back.
Even if the Divine Patrol's cultivation was one level higher than his, if he did not defend, he would definitely be injured. The Xu Ling wanted to reduce the strength of the Divine Patrol's raised weapon to defend against the Divine Patrol's attack.
However, the Divine Patrol would not let go of this opportunity. Once he killed the Soul Painting Clan below, the guy behind him who was in the way would naturally disappear. However, the wings on his back formed a defense, blocking his back.
It was no wonder he took it so seriously. Everyone knew that among the Soul Painting Clan, the male souls were in a subordinate position. Some of them were even inferior to the upper echelons of the subordinate races. It was obvious how disliked they were. Who asked them to be weak? They could only endure.
However, the guy in front of him had actually broken through that layer of shackles and even had a spirit protecting him. It was obvious how important his position was. Although he did not know what happened to the Divine Patrol, he knew that the Divine Patrol had to die.
"Die!"
As the banner was slammed down by his hands, he let out an indistinct roar. All the strength in his body was poured into his hands. This time, the enemy trapped in it was completely crushed to pieces.
On top of the banner, layers of shadows were constantly superimposing on top of each other, constantly solidifying. By the time it landed on the black cover below, the originally thick banner was like a hundred-year-old tree, incomparably thick, covering a large area below.
All the power was condensed. Except for Gu Zheng below, no one could feel the aura even if they were standing next to him. It was soft, but even more terrifying.
This time, the Divine Patrol wanted his opponent to have nowhere to hide.
Even though the attack behind him was about to arrive, the Divine Patrol did not get distracted. He focused all of his attention on the area below him.
In truth, Gu Zheng really was trapped in a space less than three meters in front of him. There was a large hole beside him, and the ground was also filled with black light.
When he had been falling, Gu Zheng had originally planned to use the ground below to hide somewhere else. He had never thought that this had been the Divine Patrol's plan all along. Before he could even leave, he had created a hole and found himself completely trapped inside.
This shield was not difficult to break. Although the Divine Patrol had intentionally trapped him, the aura above was somewhat thin. As long as he had a few breaths' time, he would be able to create a gap and escape.
However, the immense pressure coming from above made his heart beat wildly with the pressure of death. Because he had tried to break through from the ground, he no longer had any chance to do so. From the beginning to the end, the Divine Patrol had intentionally left an opening for him. It was also to make him lose the opportunity to escape. He had no choice but to face the Divine Patrol's determined attack.
At this moment, he already understood that the Divine Patrol's external attack was extremely weak. It seemed to be about the same strength as someone who had just entered the Grand Heavenly Realm. However, the Divine Patrol's close combat prowess was not weakened at all.
Facing the Divine Patrol's all-out attack, Gu Zheng felt powerless. He could not muster up any strength to resist. It was as if he could see himself being reduced to ashes under the Divine Patrol's destructive attack.
At this moment, Gu Zheng's side trembled. The Black Pagoda appeared from the side on its own. Then, it rapidly arrived above Gu Zheng's head and began to spin rapidly.
As it spun, grains of black sand were thrown down from above. They formed a kind of faint evening sand outside Gu Zheng's body and enveloped Gu Zheng's entire body.
Above the Black Pagoda, a faint golden light condensed from the top of the pagoda. Almost instantly, it formed an appearance that Gu Zheng was familiar with.
A golden jade exuding a special aura quietly floated above the top of the pagoda. There was a faint layer of golden light around it, making it appear extremely peaceful.
Upon closer inspection, the golden light was actually formed by mini golden pagodas. The golden light around the pagodas was the golden light that could be seen from the outside.
At this moment, the black cover above his head had silently shattered, revealing the scenery outside. However, Gu Zheng still did not know what had happened. He could only subconsciously release all his defenses and gather them around him.
"Demonic Pagoda!"
An incomparably thick black shadow had already landed. At this moment, a terrified voice rang out in the air. The owner of the voice was extremely terrified. Even the speed of the black shadow above his head slowed down. It seemed that he wanted to pull back his attack, but how could he stop at such a short distance?
Then, the black shadow had already pressed down, completely drowning the figure below.
Boom!
A huge impact sounded in the air. It was as if a volcano had erupted and gathered all its power. A golden and black light that connected heaven and earth rose in an instant, forming a huge black pillar that was hundreds of meters tall that soared into the sky.
An incomparable impact burst out in an instant, and a circular pit that was hundreds of meters wide appeared in the center. Seeing this, Xu Ling's originally ferocious attack immediately turned into a defensive state to welcome the impact that even he was extremely shocked.
At the moment of contact, his entire body was wrapped by the surging power and flew into the distance.
Not only that, but the entire world began to shake violently under the interference of this power.
Countless black cracks appeared and merged everywhere. Cracks snaked across the ground, and the bottom could not be seen. It was a scene of the end of the world.
The monsters that were originally flying in the air flapped their wings, but they could not control their bodies at all and fell down one by one.
Many were torn apart by the cracks that appeared immediately, and some fell into the invincible abyss below and did not come back up. Some monsters that were lucky enough to land on the ground were also frightened and weakly struggling on the ground.
Even the Seventh Elder, who was fighting fiercely over there, slowed down his attacks and looked at the source of the power with some surprise. He did not know what had happened, but there was an aura that he was afraid of.
He was even more shocked by the surroundings, fearing that the stele would not be able to withstand that power.
However, at this moment, in the distance, in the originally empty space, a green pillar of light that was not inferior to gold and black rose into the sky. It injected new power into this world and stabilized the stele that was gradually collapsing.
"Where do you think you're going?"
With this distraction, the Divine Patrol below wanted to take the opportunity to escape. The Seventh Elder roared angrily and rushed up again. The storm-like attacks fell again, and the Divine Patrol was forced to stay where he was to block the opponent's attacks.
After being in a difficult situation at the beginning, the Seventh Elder quickly suppressed the opponent, beating him until he could only defend himself, showing the strength of the Soul Painting Clan.
On Gu Zheng's side, he was still standing where he was in a daze. He looked at his surroundings in disbelief. The extremely terrifying waves were still being released. Although it was gradually decreasing, it was still terrifying.
However, at this moment, the monsters in the air above him did not even have the slightest bit of damage. They were all blocked by the layer of black sand that seemed to have no defensive ability.
At this moment, the golden jade on the black tower was still shining brightly, as if it had not suffered any damage from the earth-shattering attack just now.
On the ground not far from him, a figure in tattered clothes was lying on the ground, spitting out endless amounts of black blood. The banner in his hand had been broken into several pieces, and he was so heavily injured that he could not even stand up.
"This is the Black Tower?"
Gu Zheng raised his head and looked above, truly dumbfounded. He had overestimated the Black Tower again and again. In fact, he did not think much of it in his heart. The Black Tower that only had half of its functions, how powerful could it be? At most, it would be more convenient to lock people up.
However, he never thought that the ability that the Black Tower displayed alone would be so strong. It was so strong that a mere counterattack could heavily injure a late-stage Grand Heavenly Realm. It was simply unbelievable.
However, everything in front of him made him believe that it was really so.
Seeing the Divine Patrol lying on the ground, unable to move, Gu Zheng did not have time to communicate with the Black Tower and directly flew up.
