"You want to kill me with just this magic treasure of yours? I'll let you know that with absolute power, your tricks won't be able to defeat me. "
Xia Xi looked at the Black Tower that was disguised as a mountain peak above her head, and said somewhat disdainfully.
"Is that so? If I had a Natural Spirit Treasure now, you'd already be dead, "Gu Zheng said calmly.
From a certain perspective, magic treasures were even more important than power. Of course, one's own power also had to reach a certain level.
Xia Xi's face revealed a somewhat strange smile, and her body moved again. This time, under the suppression of the Black Tower, she was not as fast as Gu Zheng could not react in time. She very easily dodged the other's attack, and left a mark on the other's body.
Xia Xi did not care at all. Her whole body turned in the air, and like a brainless wild beast, she continuously charged towards Gu Zheng, leaving behind lines of invisible fine lines in the air.
Such a simple and stupid tactic, she could not even touch the corner of Gu Zheng's clothes. Every time, she would inevitably leave a mark on the other's body, and pieces of greyish-white would be scraped off from the other's body.
In a short dozen breaths, Gu Zheng had left no less than a hundred wounds on the other's body, but did not really injure the other. What made Gu Zheng even more worried was that the greyish-white fragments floating in the air stopped in midair, and even the Black Tower's light was unable to eliminate them.
As for the flaws that the other revealed, he wanted to attack, but the other's monsters in the air were dense, and he could not find an opportunity.
Although the other did not injure him, Gu Zheng still frowned, because his attacks seemed to be unable to break through the other's defense, even with the sharpness of the Cloud Desolate Sword. The other's defense was really too strong, as if there was some kind of defense that countered weapons.
Just as he was about to think of another way, the greyish-white fragments in the air suddenly moved, and rushed towards Gu Zheng from all directions. In the distance, Xia Xi no longer mindlessly charged over, but muttered non-stop.
In fact, Gu Zheng had already noticed it. The Cloud Desolate Sword in his hand burst out with a golden light, transforming into a golden circle that swept in all directions. The stone fragments were swept by the golden light and exploded into a mass of greyish white Qi. However, it still spread in the air and rushed in his direction.
On the other side, Xia Xi also stopped her actions and rushed towards Gu Zheng with excitement in her eyes. While she was still in mid-air, she turned into a large amount of grey-white dust with a "bang", covering most of the space and rushing towards Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng looked at the other party's strange spell and did not panic at all. A layer of faint black light appeared around him and quickly enveloped him. When the gray dust nearby covered him, he had already turned into a black cocoon.
Then, as the powder quickly gathered at his original position, a stone egg twice the size of Gu Zheng's appeared.
"Hehe, being locked in here by me, not to mention you, even the Soul Painting Clan will not have a good ending."
In the air, as the remaining dust gathered again, Xia Xi's figure appeared in the air and somewhat mocked, as if she could see Gu Zheng suffering inside.
"Ah!"
Just as he said those words proudly, a loud scream sounded in the air, causing his mind to sink. However, from the corner of his eyes, he already saw that in mid-air, a thin woman with black hair that reached her feet had already appeared.
"Swish Swish"
Before he could recover, the woman's black hair danced in the air and rushed towards him. When he shook off the dizziness in his head, the black hair had already wrapped around half of his body.
"You're dreaming if you want to trap me."
Without seeing any movement from Xia Xi, her whole body was like a slippery fish that directly escaped from the shackles of the black hair. Then, she grabbed a large amount of black hair and fiercely pulled, wanting to pull the other party over.
However, when he used his strength, the monsters in the air were all cut apart. At the same time, the surrounding hair accelerated and stabbed towards his body.
"You want to break through my defense? You are simply dreaming! "
Seeing the other party's attack, Xia Xi did not care at all. She let go of the broken hair in her hand and a rice-sized bump appeared on the surface of her body. It looked like a shield.
"Ouch!"
The defense that even Gu Zheng's Cloud Desolate Sword could not break through was actually broken through by the hair when he specially strengthened the defense. One by one, the hair pierced deeply into his body. It was as if half of his body had grown black hair.
What made him even more frightened was that the black hair was actually absorbing his strength from his body. Waves of weakness continuously came from his body. At the same time, a feeling of joy emerged from the bottom of his heart, as if he was enjoying something incomparably beautiful and could not bear to let the black hair leave.
Xia Xi would not let herself become the other party's nourishment. In the next moment, she turned into a pool of silver-white water and came out from the encirclement of the black hair.
However, after reforming her body, there were many fine holes on her body that had not healed yet. They were all holes that were pierced by the black hair.
"That damned magic artifact."
Feeling that his body was still being suppressed, making it impossible for him to use his strength, he decided not to tangle with the other party and quickly leave this place.
Just as the thought surfaced in his mind, he heard a loud whistle sound again. This time, it was even stronger than the previous one. His body, which had just gotten up, was once again in a state of dizziness.
At this moment, the black-haired woman had already floated over. Her ten black fingernails shone with a mysterious black luster as she stretched them towards the immobile Xia Xi.
Accompanied by a teeth-grinding ear-piercing sound, deep scratches appeared on Xia Xi's body. In just a few short breaths, her entire body was filled with scars of varying depths.
When Xia Xi recovered, she immediately retreated in fear. She felt that she was completely suppressed by the other party. Even the defense that she was so proud of was unable to resist the other party. She could escape from the other party's restraint, but she could not defend against the sound whistle that went deep into her mind.
In just two exchanges, she had completely fallen into a disadvantageous position. If this continued, her hard armor would be destroyed.
Xia Xi wanted to retreat. There was no point in tangling with the other party. Thinking about this, she watched as the black-haired woman closed in on the other party. She could not let the other party release her whistle. Now that the other party was temporarily trapped, all she needed to do was to trap the other party.
Xia Xi's mouth suddenly bulged and a grey-white stream of air quickly shot out of her mouth. It drew a beautiful arc in the air, passed through the black hair in the air, and landed on the black-haired woman's body.
The black-haired woman's body stiffened and actually froze in midair. As the stream of air continued to fall, a grey-white color appeared on her body. When the stream of air completely disappeared, she was like a grey-white statue, frozen in midair.
"It's finally over."
Xia Xi let out a sigh of relief. She turned around and flew into the distance. The most important thing right now was to leave this place. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong. That strange brat actually had so many tricks up his sleeve.
When she reached the edge, before she was ready to leave, she suddenly felt a trace of danger in her heart. It was as if something was rushing at her from behind. Following the feeling in her heart, she immediately dodged.
The moment she dodged, a huge meatball rushed out from where she was originally. The barrier that prevented her from leaving did not appear at all. She thought that what was surrounding her had disappeared. She wanted to take the opportunity to leave, but in the end, she bumped into it again.
That barrier did not work on others, but it worked on her.
"What kind of monster is this? Could it be that the Soul Painting Race has some kind of secret method that even Master Wen was not aware of?"
Xia Xi looked at the thousands of eyes in front of her. It was as if each eye was an independent entity that was observing her. Even though she was used to seeing countless strange creatures, she still felt a chill run down her spine. Furthermore, the other party's body was filled with explosive power. She felt that if she bumped into the other party, she would be sent flying.
She looked at Gu Zheng who was turned into a stone egg in the distance. She even suspected that the other party was a newly risen descendant of the Soul Painting Race. It was just that she had not fully matured yet.
Just as her mind was in a mess, the meatball had already roared. Its entire body turned into a round ball and spun rapidly. At the same time, it crashed towards the other party. However, such a simple straight line allowed him to easily dodge. He even had the time to directly smash the other party's body with his axe, causing many eyeballs to explode. At the same time, countless black fog splashed out.
The other party's somewhat stupid method seemed familiar to Xia Xi. She felt that her actions were similar to the other party's before. Could it be that the other party wanted to use her carelessness to release some kind of magic?
She did not know this, but she knew that she could not stay here in a stalemate. She had to leave this place. Perhaps the other party could still summon some kind of strange creatures. Moreover, their strength was not weak. Now that she was weakened, she did not have a good way to deal with them.
"Ka Ka"
A cracking sound rang out in the air, attracting her attention. She discovered that the stone-like black-haired woman was cracking on the outside. Soon, she would be able to break free from her seal.
At this time, she realized that the culprit behind all of this was the enemy that she had turned into a stone egg. Originally, she should have continued to attack the other party, but she was interrupted by something unexpected. The restriction she had placed on the other party had now become the other party's defense.
If she wanted to quickly kill the other party, she had to remove the defense. The binding effect of the stone egg was greater than its lethality. However, it was not as easy as enveloping the other party. She would need a lot of time to remove the spell that she had painstakingly prepared.
"Ah!"
Just as she began to remove the defense, a beautiful voice rang out in the air, intoxicating her. She seemed to see her companions around her, loudly praising her.
She had actually fought against many alone. Not only had she defeated the other party, she had also killed most of the enemies. Everyone had a high opinion of her.
Hearing the congratulations from all around, some of the people close to her even went up to her and patted her on the shoulder, using even more praises to praise her. This was something she had never experienced before.
After all, he had never been good at explosive attacks. He had always acted as a meat shield at the front or restrained the enemy's main force. It was a thankless role. Seeing this scene, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but crack, and a smile even appeared on his face.
The only thing that made her dissatisfied was that her friend's strength was so great that it was extremely uncomfortable for her to be a monster in the air. However, she still wanted to continue listening to their praises, so she had no choice but to endure it.
After all, weren't they praising her?
"Pfff!"
When the other party's palm landed on her body again, she spat out a mouthful of blood. This time, she was completely dissatisfied and shouted at her friend.
"Enough, I know you're jealous of me, but you can't let me get hurt. Dammit, why are you all showing that expression? What, what is this? "
Xia Xi, who was roaring, felt her vision blur. Her companions in front of her were slowly fusing together, forming a black barrier in front of her. The intense pain in her body was unbearable.
In a daze, she realized that there weren't any of her companions in front of her. Her previous victory was just her own wishful thinking. She had actually been tricked by her opponent.
At this moment, that beautiful voice was still resounding in the air. Although she didn't know what language it was, it was still incomparably beautiful, making people want to be intoxicated.
However, she knew that at this moment, countless strands of hair were continuously entering her body. Furthermore, she had suffered extremely serious injuries.
Xia Xi's entire body emitted a huge cloud of grey Qi, blowing away all the strands of hair. Even the meatballs that were charging at her were blown away by her opponent's tyrannical explosion.
"Cough cough, you damned person." Xia Xi looked at Gu Zheng in the distance and said through gritted teeth.
"The one who should die is you. Don't worry, I'll make you wish you were dead." Gu Zheng had already come out of the stone egg. His body wasn't injured. Looking at Xia Xi's eyes, he coldly said.
The other party had kidnapped Meng Zhen, and her defense was so strange. He couldn't break through her defense at all. He could only expend a huge amount of energy to increase the strength of the ghosts in the black tower to deal with her.
The black tower was indeed something that everyone here feared. Even if she couldn't even use one percent of her strength, it could increase her battle strength in almost all aspects. Most likely, she would need to be at least a Quasi-Saint to be able to use its strength perfectly.
However, now was the time for Xia Xi to pay the price.
With a thought from Gu Zheng, the mountain above his head began to tremble. In the blink of an eye, it transformed into its true form.
"Demonic Tower!"
A terrified and despairing voice rose from Xia Xi's mouth. He didn't dare to believe that the mountain above his head was actually the Demonic Tower that everyone feared. How could the Soul Painting Race have such a thing? Could it be that they had completely surrendered to the other party and were willing to be controlled by the other party?
He didn't know about this. The appearance of the demonic tower was like meeting the thing he feared the most in his heart. He sat paralyzed on the ground, even forgetting to resist or escape. Only his bulging eyes and his reddened body showed that he had fallen into great fear at this moment.
Now, he had lost his mind and couldn't resist. He even forgot that he had escaped from the black tower the first time. However, this time, he had lost the confidence to escape.
"Weng!"
A ray of black light fell from the sky. Xia Xi didn't resist at all and was almost instantly sucked in. In reality, with his current state, he could still resist a little. However, the appearance of the black tower made him completely lose the will to resist and was directly sucked in.
Seeing him being sucked in, Gu Zheng looked around. After confirming that there was no one else, he put away the black tower, and the two summoned ghosts were also summoned back.
This time, Gu Zheng didn't give him any chance and directly threw him into the stone room. As he became more proficient in using the black tower, he could already accurately place people in various places.
The only thing that annoyed him was that this black tower had been trying to trick him from beginning to end. Even now, it wasn't willing to tell him more about how to use it, forcing him to squeeze it out bit by bit.
He knew that the black tower looked down on him. Moreover, he had used some special methods to obtain a part of the black tower's control. If it wasn't for the fact that the black tower had something to ask of him, it wouldn't have followed him at all.
He was well aware of this, but he didn't suggest it. Now, if he really had full control of the black tower, he didn't have the power to protect it. Especially when the black tower seemed to be shouldering a mysterious mission. Even if he forcibly occupied it, he couldn't do it. Instead, it would bring disaster to himself. This was also the reason why Gu Zheng didn't care much about the black tower.
After doing all this, Gu Zheng rushed forward again. Soon, he arrived at the exit. It was a white door of light, and there were monsters in the air.
Meng Zhen's aura had completely disappeared from here. He was successfully taken out by the other party.
Looking at this door of light, Gu Zheng stared at it for a long time. Only then did he give the second elder a hint to pull him in.
Almost at the same time, Gu Zheng's figure disappeared from here.
"Failed?"
Before Gu Zheng could see clearly who was next to him, the seventh elder's voice rang out. His tone was filled with disappointment because he was the only one who came back.
Gu Zheng looked at the four elders in front of him with a disappointed expression. He lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry. The other party was divided into a few groups, and each group had Meng Zhen's aura. In the end, I chose the wrong group."
He was also very disappointed. However, he had tried his best. The other party was divided into a few groups. Even if he didn't go to the middle, he might not have found the right direction. On the surface, all of them were fake. He didn't have that much time to distinguish between them.
"Sigh, this is troublesome." The fourteenth elder, who had cleared the outer area, sighed.
"Actually, it's really difficult to be alone. This isn't your fault."
After a moment of silence, the second elder said energetically.
Although they had discussed before that the probability of Gu Zheng bringing Meng Zhen back was really low, they still had some hope in their hearts. What if a miracle happened?
Unfortunately, the miracle didn't happen. All of this couldn't be blamed on Gu Zheng. After all, they wanted to deal with the other party for a period of time. Otherwise, Meng Zhen wouldn't be in trouble.
"Alright, since that's the case, let's go back first. After we get out, we'll think of a way." The second elder said in the end.
The others didn't have any objections and left with the elder.
The trap set up by the fake Second Elder was nothing to the real Second Elder. After all, in terms of understanding, no one here was as monstrous as the Second Elder and the Great Elder in the air. They could easily leave this place.
As for the inside of the tablet, they knew that the other party wouldn't come for a long time. For safety reasons, the space that was connected to this place would be removed.
When they left this place and returned to the house, only the second elder had left. They were still here.
Soon, the great elder came in with a serious face. As the guard, he actually didn't notice what was going on here. To him, this was a serious dereliction of duty.
The few elders discussed for half a day before deciding on some things to do. Soon, the great elder and the second elder left this place. The others continued to stay here and wait for them to settle the matter before they came out.
