At this moment, Gu Zheng was running wildly, so he naturally didn't know that the other party had already discovered him. It was just that the other party hadn't found him yet.
"En? They split up! "
At the intersection where the other party had temporarily stopped, Gu Zheng's figure also suddenly stopped. After carefully inspecting the surroundings to make sure there was no ambush, he revealed himself and said with a puzzled expression.
From here, he could clearly feel that there was something special. The other party had actually split into five auras and left in different directions. Moreover, in each direction, there was actually Meng Zhen's aura, which made him hesitate for a moment.
"Could it be that the other party discovered me? Or is it a smokescreen? Or is Meng Zhen's effect too great, so the other party purposely split up so that I can't follow them? "
Gu Zheng kept guessing in his heart. At the same time, he began to quickly investigate, wanting to confirm where the real Meng Zhen was. If he guessed wrong, he was afraid that he would have no chance to find another place, let alone there were five places here.
However, from the surface, there was no difference at all between the five places. When he realized that he couldn't be sure, Gu Zheng directly took out the black tower, wanting to borrow the power of the black tower to distinguish between the five places.
The moment the black tower was taken out, he felt that the aura nearby was a little different. Among them, there was a faint sixth aura. Although it tried to hide it, the direction it left in couldn't be wrong.
"As expected, it's a smokescreen. It's in the middle." After confirming the target, Gu Zheng didn't hesitate anymore. He put away the black tower and followed again.
"Looks like the other party has indeed been fooled, hmph."
Just as he was running, a small group of people in front of him suddenly stopped and looked to the side. Soon, a ball of distorted air continued to move forward not far away from them. The monster in the air didn't notice the group of people who were also hiding. Among them, the monster in the air said after the ball of distorted air disappeared into the distance.
"Why did the other party come here alone first? But this way, Xia Xi will have an easier time. I only hope that the other party can delay a little more and not foolishly fight the other party head-on. Otherwise, no one will feel sorry if they die." Another ball of black fog also whispered.
"Don't worry about the other party. The time is so short. If the other party could still discover Xia Xi's operation, we would have probably left long ago. Just make sure that our mission is completed. Let's go!"
He took out a red object in his hand, identified the direction, and continued to walk along the predetermined route.
He was quite satisfied with this result. Even though Xia Xi had fallen into a difficult situation, and she wasn't very good at fighting, she could still use her little tricks to stall for time.
Even here, they had set up a few road signs that only they could see. Otherwise, even they could get lost. There was really no sense of direction here.
Meanwhile, on this side, Gu Zheng had also found a good position, and began to quickly set up. Very soon, the Black Tower was hidden in the air, quietly waiting for the other's arrival.
Gu Zheng was also lying in ambush at the side. He began to plan various scenarios in his mind so that he could react in time if he encountered them.
However, what he didn't expect was that when the black fog passed by with Meng Zhen, he realized that his ambush spot was a little off.
When he was lying in ambush, he had done his best to consider the other's route and formation. However, he could only predict and not completely know the other's route. It was normal for him to be a little off. According to the other's position, when he landed, he could at most cover half of the other party, but Meng Zhen would definitely be pushed out.
If that was the case, he would be in a very disadvantageous situation.
"Damn it, I hope I can still make it."
Gu Zheng resisted his desire to attack. Seeing that the other party had passed by his trap, he decided to give up this time and prepare for the next time.
From the other party's conversation, the remaining distance was enough for him to set up another ambush. The next time, he could only succeed. He couldn't fail.
After the other party left, Gu Zheng hurriedly put away the Black Tower, and once again passed by the other party, arriving at a place that the other party had passed by.
This time, he was prepared to take a risk. When he detected the other party, he would completely set up the ambush. However, before that, there was still some work to be done.
Gu Zheng quickly set up some formations that weren't easy to detect. At the same time, he hid the Black Tower in the air so that he couldn't be sure of his position. He even set up traps in the surroundings. Although it increased the risk of being exposed, this was the only way to take the risk.
Just as he finished hiding some of the traps, he felt that the other party seemed to be rushing over here. He immediately hid at the side and looked in the direction he came from, confirming the other party's position at any time.
"Alright, looks like the other party didn't notice."
With a quick glance, he knew the other party's route. Gu Zheng quickly made the Black Tower enter the last position and waited for the other party's arrival. "Ah, good luck.
Looks like my luck is not bad this time. Perhaps the other party was attracted by something else, and didn't believe the traps I set up at all. However, thinking about it, since we've already separated, why is there still such a hidden presence here? The more it is like this, the more suspicious it is. However, I don't know who exactly is so unlucky to be caught by the other party. I hope there aren't so many of them. Even if I don't like them, I don't want them to die here, "Xia Xi thought as she hurried over.
However, the distance between the two parties was very far. Even if there was a battle on the other side, this side wouldn't be able to hear it. Moreover, this side was the furthest away. At this time, the speed of the two parties was almost there. Except for that unlucky guy, he had deliberately set up something on the other party, and the latter definitely wouldn't be able to detect it.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile gloatingly. Hidden in the black fog, no one outside could see him, which made him even more fearless, and even his voice floated out.
At this time, he wasn't far from the exit. If he wanted, he could completely abandon this disguise and increase his speed to the limit. In less than five minutes, he would be able to reach the exit. However, he couldn't. Even if he had to disguise himself, he had to disguise himself until the end.
"Maybe I won't be the last to go out."
He comforted himself. After all, with the other party's distance and time, they could only chase after one person. If the target was him, he would have already encountered him just now. Therefore, he was sure that it was the others who were unlucky.
"Now's the time!"
Gu Zheng saw that the other party wasn't as vigilant as before, and was overjoyed. Seeing the other party step into his trap step by step, he activated it without hesitation.
"Ding!"
A series of formations were activated, and it was like a concentrated bell. At the same time, a golden light suddenly rose from the surroundings, forming a golden screen in all directions and gathering towards Meng Zhen, who was in the center.
At the same time, above his head, a black tower that had slightly changed its appearance also rapidly expanded, turning into a huge mountain peak that covered a space of four to five hundred feet. It fiercely pressed down on the ground.
The golden light outside not only restricted the movements of the people inside, but that dazzling light also attracted the other party's attention, causing them to mistakenly think that there was an ambush. Then, when the black tower descended, as long as they started to be distracted, it would basically be too late to escape.
However, at this crucial moment when the black tower was about to press down on them, a grey light suddenly appeared around everyone below. Everything seemed to have been petrified, forcibly fixed in the area below.
Even when the black tower pressed down on them and the black light enveloped them, it was unable to suck them in. It was as if they didn't exist there.
"How could this be!"
Gu Zheng immediately took a look, and only then did he understand what had happened. The other party used a strange method to forcibly isolate this space, but they didn't leave.
Although he didn't know the principle behind it, Gu Zheng knew that the other party was only forcefully stalling for some time, waiting for the other party's magic to lose its effect and unable to escape from his restraints. Only then did he relax and watch closely from outside.
"En? Over there, Xia Xi released her innate magic. She didn't expect the other party to be so slow in the air. "
In the distance, at the exit, the remaining few black clouds arrived at about the same time. One of them looked back and seemed to have sensed something.
"The other party discovered it too late. That guy has already been taken out. I'm afraid he's already been taken away by Lord Crimson. Do you want to go play?" another black cloud said eagerly.
At this moment, the cover around them was gone, and their mission was completed. Even if the other party left, they wouldn't be afraid. This was their territory, so they wanted to exercise with the other party. After all, they had been sparring with their own people for so many years, and they had long since grown tired of it.
"If you want to go, then go. It's better to be safe than sorry. I don't want to make a move. These old bones of mine can't take it." One of the black clouds said lazily, and without waiting for the others, directly left through the exit.
"Forget it, Xia Xi will definitely be able to escape. If she really can't escape, then it's probably useless even if we go," another black cloud said, and then left.
"Alright, since you all don't have that intention, then forget it." The black cloud that raised the objection directly retreated. Without saying anything else, it directly left.
The remaining people also didn't say much and left one by one.
Gu Zheng naturally didn't know what was going on in the distance. Now, he was quietly looking down. When he saw that there was a trace of loosening below, he immediately pressed down on the black tower.
When the black tower fell, the special state below just happened to be removed. There was no time for the people below to react, and without exception, they were all sucked into the black tower.
In the next moment, Gu Zheng's consciousness immediately immersed inside, but to his surprise, he found that there was only a figure of a monster in the tower. The other figures had all disappeared. Even Meng Zhen, half of his body had turned into a cloud of black mist, and the other parts were still constantly transforming and dissipating.
"I've been tricked!"
This thought instantly arose in Gu Zheng's mind. He also understood that from the beginning to the end, there was only this monster. The other existences were all meant to confuse him.
Just as Gu Zheng was distracted, a white mist came out of the monster's body. Its entire body was like dust, and it sputtered outside. When Gu Zheng discovered it and wanted to stop it, the other party's figure had already disappeared from inside.
"Damn it, what was that thing? I only managed to escape after using half of my essence." Outside, Xia Xi looked at the strange magic treasure in front of him with some surprise and couldn't help but curse.
"Where did Meng Zhen go?!"
Although Gu Zheng was shocked that the other party could escape from the black tower, he still asked sternly.
"Haha, we knew that you would chase after us. At this time, the other party has already left here. No matter how much you shout, you can't bring him back." Xia Xi's somewhat large eyes were filled with provocation as he laughed loudly.
Although he was very surprised that the other party came to find him now, the mission was already completed, and he was very relaxed.
"Damn it!" Gu Zheng looked at the lime-like monster and couldn't help but clench his fists tightly.
Even if he didn't want to believe it, he had to admit in his heart that perhaps his judgment was wrong.
"So, thank you for giving me this little bit of time. Goodbye, don't send me off!" Xia Xi gave Gu Zheng a strange smile and disappeared on the spot. However, in the next moment, a layer of faint black light appeared around him, and his figure was knocked back again.
"Want to run? You have to see if I'm willing to." Gu Zheng's figure suddenly flew up and directly flew towards the other party.
The other party wasn't very tall, only reaching Gu Zheng's chest. His whole body was greyish-white like plaster, and his oval figure was laughable. He also had slender limbs like tree branches. He looked a little out of place, but his strength was truly in the late stage of the Grand Heavenly Realm.
Although his strength was high, the feeling he gave Gu Zheng now was that he didn't seem to be much of a threat, especially when the other party's aura suddenly dropped a lot in order to come out of the black tower. Coupled with Gu Zheng's anger, he directly rushed up.
"Whether you're willing or not is none of my business. What kind of magic treasure is this? However, there's nothing in this world that can trap me." Xia Xi looked at Gu Zheng rushing over and pursed his lips. He directly descended and merged into the black ground below.
"Come out!"
The weapon in Gu Zheng's hand was directly thrown down by him. A golden light flashed through the air and pierced into the ground below, disappearing. Then, a sky full of golden light appeared from all directions, and the entire ground exploded with countless black fog. At the same time, Xia Xi's figure was also forced out.
"You little Mirror Demon, do you really think I'm afraid of you? Wearing a layer of your master's skin, do you think you can scare me? Let your companions come out together. " Xia Xi stabilized his figure in the air and said fiercely. However, some conspicuous eyeballs were rolling around, obviously thinking about other things.
"I still don't care about the others. Now, I'm alone, so you can rest assured."
Gu Zheng knew that Meng Zhen couldn't be saved, but at least his life wasn't in danger now. However, Xu Jia was different. If he revealed any flaws, Xu Jia would definitely not let him go. The anger in his heart could be imagined, and he couldn't calm down without venting it.
No matter how strong the other party was, he had to go up and fight with the other party!
"Is that so? Since you're so confident, then you might die here before you can call for reinforcements. " Xia Xi waved his weak hand and countless grey dust quickly condensed. Soon, a huge axe the size of his body was held in his hand.
The huge axe looked like it didn't have a blade. There was a thick layer of greyish-white dirt on the edge of the axe. If it hit a person, that person would probably be smashed into pieces.
As soon as the other party's voice fell, his figure flashed and appeared in front of Gu Zheng. The huge axe was already smashing down with a shocking whistling sound. Gu Zheng's pupils shrank. His other hand blocked the tail of the Desolate Cloud Sword in front of him.
"Peng!" Gu Zheng's figure directly retreated backwards.
"Eh? Initial stage Human Soul? " Xia Xi didn't immediately chase after him. Instead, he looked at Gu Zheng with some doubt. He didn't know how the other party could be so weak.
"So there really isn't anyone. Thinking about it, in such a short period of time, the other party must have been prepared to catch up. It's a pity that you're too weak." Xia Xi's nervous body finally relaxed. He even said with a relaxed smile.
"Forget it, I can't be bothered to talk nonsense with you. I'll spare your life."
As he spoke, Xia Xi put away his weapon and directly flew outside. When he encountered the layer of faint black obstruction, his body started to become blurry like water ripples. His body started to dissipate bit by bit. He wanted to pass through this layer of protection and leave this place.
Gu Zheng's eyes flashed. He didn't care about the other party's generosity. The weapon in his hand directly stabbed into the other party's body that was constantly transforming.
"Ding!"
When he was about to succeed, a gray stone suddenly appeared, directly blocking Gu Zheng's advance. However, it also scattered the other party's movements. The other party's figure had no choice but to withdraw, once again condensing his body.
"Since you want to die, then die." Xia Xi turned to look at Gu Zheng and said angrily.
He was merciful and spared the other party's life. Of course, he was also worried that the other party had reinforcements. However, the other party's protection was quite good. Even he couldn't escape easily. It seemed that no matter what, he couldn't leave easily.
Gu Zheng didn't care about the other party. While the other party was talking, his hand didn't stop moving. He quickly attacked the other party's body.
Xia Xi didn't make any counterattack from beginning to end. This was because Gu Zheng's attacks could only leave light white scratches on the other party's body. They couldn't break the other party's hard body at all.
This gave Gu Zheng a strange feeling. He wasn't facing a person from the Bereaved Clan, but a hard magic weapon.
Xia Xi naturally wouldn't let the other party attack him so unscrupulously. With a move of his mind, a layer of grey debris suddenly fell from the outside of his body and shot towards Gu Zheng's direction.
The outer layer that even Gu Zheng couldn't break looked as inconspicuous as dust, but its effect was outstanding. It directly forced Gu Zheng to retreat. At the same time, he took out his weapon again and attacked Gu Zheng.
This area had been completely enveloped by the black tower. The outside couldn't see the scene inside at all. It was extremely difficult for the people inside to go out. It was like a ring. Only one person could go out if he admitted defeat.
No one wanted to bear the price of the number of people.
However, Gu Zheng had the right to leave at any time. This place was built by him. For him, it wouldn't be a fair fight with the other party.
Just as Xia Xi drew his weapon, a black light directly fell from the high tower in the sky, causing his body to suddenly sink. It was as if a heavy mountain was pressing down on him. To his horror, the power that he could mobilize in his body suddenly decreased by a large amount.
Although Gu Zheng was usually the one using the black tower, and only this way could he use the least amount of power to exert the greatest effect, there was also a tool spirit that could cooperate with him. However, in the situation where the other party didn't have a core, it was a burden for her every time. She couldn't fight for a long time and consumed more energy. However, at this time, it was enough for her to play her role.
"So, it's your turn!"
Gu Zheng's eyes were filled with coldness as if he was looking at a dead person.
