The sounds of fighting continued outside, but there was a strange silence here.
The elders of the Demon Soul Sect looked at the lone Gu Zheng and sized him up with interest. They didn't know what kind of courage he had to actually dare to come here alone. Just this courage alone was enough to make them admire him.
Although they were surprised, they even admired him a little. He dared to challenge Zhu Hun alone. He really didn't know how to write the word 'death'.
"I will naturally save my maid. Now, I want to settle a score with you. You were the one who captured her." Gu Zheng stared at Zhu Hun and said.
"Settle a score? It's not that I look down on you. Last time, you barely survived from my hands. If it weren't for that incident, I'm afraid you would have turned into ashes by now. "Zhu Hun didn't care about Gu Zheng's question at all. Instead, he laughed loudly.
For him, Gu Zheng was just a defeated opponent. Perhaps he had some fortuitous encounters and his strength had increased a lot. It seemed that his aura was about to break through at any time. But so what? He wasn't afraid of Gu Zheng breaking through, let alone Gu Zheng who hadn't broken through yet.
"That was last time. Now, do you dare to fight with me?" Gu Zheng glanced at the elders nearby and said to Zhu Hun indifferently.
"If you want to fight with Lord Soul, you have to go through me first."
An elder of the Illusion Tribe jumped out and shouted at Gu Zheng. His strength was at the late stage of the Grand Heavenly Realm.
As he spoke, he turned his head slightly to look at Zhu Hun. He found that Zhu Hun didn't object. Instead, he looked like he was watching a show. Zhu Hun didn't hesitate and jumped into the air. His body suddenly exploded in the air, and a majestic giant tiger appeared in the air.
Its body was covered in black scales, and its purple eyes were the size of lanterns. It looked particularly breathtaking. Especially in its bloody mouth that was five feet long, the sharp teeth that were intersecting with each other flickered with a cold light. It looked like a sharp dagger, especially the serrated edges, which were even more frightening. It seemed that no matter what it was, as long as it bit into it, it would definitely end up very miserable.
The giant tiger raised its head and roared. Then, it lowered its head to look at Gu Zheng.
Zhu Hun said to Gu Zheng. Zhu Hun took a step back and watched the show with the other elders.
"I'm not interested in fighting you right now, but it's still early, and the battle over there won't end anytime soon. If you can display a different kind of power than before, maybe I'll be interested and give you a chance to take revenge."
"Don't worry. You will definitely be tempted." Gu Zheng looked at Zhu Hun and nodded.
He knew that if all of them were to charge at him at once, he would have no choice but to retreat. Even though he now knew that the Monster Soul wasn't as strong as it seemed, the sheer number of people was still a huge threat. Zhu Hun had personally experienced the power of the Zhu Hun. He knew that he had to be fully focused in order to win.
As long as the other party dared to give him a chance, he might be able to kill the other party. As long as the other party's luck wasn't that bad, the other party would definitely die.
Moreover, he had a bit of selfishness. If Zhu Hun suddenly died, it would probably be a huge blow to all the demon souls. If Soul Alliance took advantage of the situation to pursue, not only would they be able to satisfy Pan Xuan's request, they would also be able to preserve a bit of strength for Soul Alliance. At the very least, they wouldn't lose so many people.
"Don't blame me for not warning you. I'm coming."
With such a huge advantage, the Illusory Tribe Elder, who had transformed into a giant tiger, reminded Gu Zheng in human language. When Gu Zheng looked over, the Illusory Tribe Elder suddenly straightened his limbs and stomped hard in the air. A white airwave burst out, and his body became a blur as he attacked Gu Zheng.
In less than a blink of an eye, a few incomparably sharp tiger claws appeared in front of Gu Zheng. He lifted his claws and clawed at Gu Zheng's head. The sharp edge caused Gu Zheng's forehead to faintly hurt.
However, as he observed the other party, he reacted the moment the other party moved. He quickly retreated and saw the cold light fly past him. The rising wave of air caused him to narrow his eyes. However, at the same time, he didn't retreat. Instead, he raised a fist and heavily punched the huge tiger's jaw.
"Oh!"
Accompanied by the red starlight, the huge tiger's head was directly raised. Its whole body was forcibly knocked off its original position and fell to the ground, causing the whole ground to tremble a few times.
When the others saw this scene, they couldn't help but exclaim. This result was something that no one had expected. They thought that at the beginning, the other party would be in an absolute struggle. However, with just a touch, the other party's punch had knocked the tiger aside. It was not the Illusion Species Elder who took advantage of the situation to suppress and kill the tiger. It should be known that there was a gap between the cultivation of the two parties. If one only looked at this scene, they would think that the Illusion Species Elder was inferior to the other party.
Even Zhu Hun shifted his gaze from afar. He seemed to be a little interested.
The huge tiger at the side flipped over and let out another furious roar. Its eyes were filled with fury, and its four limbs left behind four small pits on the ground. Its entire body rose into the air and seemed to be attacking Gu Zheng.
However, when its body was still halfway, it suddenly turned into a fierce black shadow. This time, it appeared directly above Gu Zheng's head as if it had teleported. It bit towards his head.
Although his speed was fast, Gu Zheng's reaction was even faster. He simply didn't care that his opponent was trying to swallow his head. He directly raised both of his hands high, one on the left and one on the right to block the tiger claws that had taken the opportunity to sneak attack him. However, his opponent's enormous strength still made him unable to withstand it. His two feet plowed out two deep grooves in the ground as he retreated backwards.
When the other Elders saw this scene, they smiled slightly. Because not far from Gu Zheng's hind legs, there was a crack in the abyss. Once he fell, no one could save him.
Gu Zheng also saw the huge crack in the abyss from the corner of his eyes. Naturally, he knew that he couldn't continue like this. His legs suddenly exerted force, and half of his legs sank into the ground. The speed of his retreat was greatly reduced.
Not only that, he looked at the head in front of him and made an unexpected move. The head actually took the initiative to stuff into the huge mouth. The huge tiger was stunned and didn't react in time. Then, Gu Zheng's head slammed into the sharp teeth.
Amidst the clanging sounds, there were a few special noises hidden within.
The huge tiger felt as if it had been hit by a hard rock. A few of its sharp teeth were actually broken by the other party. The huge pain weakened its strength.
After Gu Zheng felt the change in his hands, his chest puffed up high. He spat out a mouthful of turbid air. Then, with a shout, his hands exerted force again and suddenly pressed down. The huge tiger's body suddenly fell down. Then, Gu Zheng's arm moved sideways and fiercely pressed down. The tips of his elbows landed on the side of the tiger's mouth at the same time, and continued to press it down.
Under the guidance of its head, the huge tiger's body was almost lifted into the air. Then, before it realized what had happened, it was pressed down to the ground by Gu Zheng. Its entire head was submerged into the ground, as if it was an inverted pillar.
However, this wasn't the end. Gu Zheng took advantage of this opportunity and fiercely stepped on the shoulders of the huge tiger. The huge tiger was struggling to get out. Then, he used this force to fly up into the air. A thick stick appeared in his hand, and he ruthlessly smashed it down.
"Bang!" A loud sound echoed.
Not only did the huge tiger fall into the deep pit again, but the other Elders and Zhu Hun also felt a chill in their crotch. They couldn't help but clamp their legs together.
"Bang bang bang"
Unforgiving, Gu Zheng's cudgel did not stop at all. It turned into a series of afterimages in the air as it smashed downwards. He could only watch as the huge tiger's body was smashed into the ground bit by bit.
The Elder of the Illusion Tribe was even more aggrieved. Every time he wanted to take the opportunity to come out, even if he was injured, the strength of his body would be defeated by the stick. He could only watch himself being smashed down. The black fog around his body was constantly escaping. He couldn't even fight back.
After more than ten breaths, when the others rushed over to stop it, only two thick legs of the huge tiger were exposed. It looked very embarrassing.
When the other party came over, Gu Zheng hurriedly moved aside and coldly watched the other party pull the Elder of the Illusion Tribe out. Then, he turned his head to look at Zhu Hun.
"How is it?"
"Interesting, but not enough!" Zhu Hun shook his head.
"This is nothing. I was just careless."
The huge tiger broke out of the ground with the help of his companions and coldly said to Gu Zheng.
Even at this time, he didn't think that the other party was very powerful. It was just his carelessness.
He didn't know that his words had actually admitted that the other party was a strong opponent, even if the other party's cultivation was much lower than his.
"Then I'll beat you until you're convinced." Gu Zheng shifted his gaze from Zhu Hun and coldly said.
As the atmosphere between the two became tense again, the elders scattered again, leaving a little distance between them. But this time, they weren't sure that their companions would win.
The body of the Elder of the Illusion Tribe was emitting layers of red flames. His whole body was slightly deformed. Although his body was shrinking, the aura on his body was changing and he looked stronger.
Especially the appearance of the scales, the flames had changed it. Not only was it dyed red, but it also looked stronger. Short red thorns grew on it, densely covering the whole body. On the top of his head, there was a short red horn more than an inch long. Even his face had become somewhat ferocious, but his legs had become stronger.
"This is a Kirin?"
Gu Zheng looked at the Illusion Tribe and said with uncertainty. It seemed a little similar to the one in his memory.
"Although it's not the complete form, it's definitely enough to take care of you." The Elder of the Illusion Tribe roared.
However, this time, he did not rush forward rashly. Instead, he breathed out a puff of white smoke from his nose. Then, he opened his mouth and a scorching flame instantly shot out from the air, turning into a fire pillar that shot towards Gu Zheng.
The entire flame was red on the outside, but the center was already white. Wherever it passed, the surrounding void was slightly distorted.
Seeing this, Gu Zheng didn't dare to block it directly. His body flashed and directly dodged the attack from the side. Since the Elder of the Illusion Tribe didn't come close to him, he would attack him.
Swish! Swish!
Two consecutive fire pillars shot out. After seeing that it couldn't do anything to Gu Zheng, the Elder of the Illusion Tribe shook his body, and the thorns on his body fell off. Then, under his control, they gathered into a wall, with a gap less than a finger's width in the middle. The wall pressed down on Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng saw the thorns on the Elder of the Illusion Tribe falling off and slowly growing back. With a thought, he descended from the sky, stepped on the ground, and punched towards the void. "Bang! Bang!" A few red balls flew up and exploded when the Elder of the Illusion Tribe fell.
Those thorns suddenly exploded in the air. Except for a small part that was directly damaged, the rest didn't lose control. Instead, they went around the side and quickly shot down.
Among the seemingly dense thorns, Gu Zheng dodged left and right. Those thorns all hit the ground and exploded, but they didn't hurt Gu Zheng at all.
On the other side, the Elder of the Illusion Tribe's eyes flashed. Just as Gu Zheng was about to leave the range of the explosion, he calculated his next route and appeared there in advance. Facing Gu Zheng, who was close at hand, he directly spat out a mouthful of flames.
This time, it didn't become a fire pillar like before. The flames filled the sky and filled the space in front of him, making it impossible for him to dodge. Gu Zheng, who had come here, was enveloped in a ball of flames.
However, before he could rejoice, a figure covered in flames had already pounced on him. The Elder of the Illusion Tribe subconsciously stretched out his neck to bite, but what greeted him was a familiar red wooden stick.
"Crack!"
When the wooden stick hit his cheek, it shattered like a piece of wood. Similarly, the Elder of the Illusion Tribe's head was also knocked to the side. Then, Gu Zheng kicked the Elder of the Illusion Tribe's face again. His body suddenly jumped, dodging the sharp claws that followed, and punched the Elder of the Illusion Tribe's side.
With a muffled bang, the Elder of the Illusion Tribe didn't fly out as expected. Instead, he only took a few steps back and stabilized his body again.
Looking at Gu Zheng, who continued to chase after him, the Elder of the Illusion Tribe slammed his two forelimbs on the ground. An unstoppable force burst out from his body in an instant, and the entire ground quickly cracked. Gu Zheng, who was caught off guard, was directly sent flying by the turbulent air wave. After flipping a few times in the air, he landed unsteadily on the ground.
At this time, a stream of blood was constantly flowing from his right hand, dripping along his fingers to the ground. When he hit the Elder of the Illusion Tribe just now, those spikes had penetrated his defense and injured him. A strange force even stayed in his palm, causing him to tremble slightly uncontrollably.
This time, the Elder of the Illusion Tribe's transformation was obviously more powerful than before. Even if it was just a Elder of the Illusion Tribe, it had greatly increased his strength.
The strength of the Illusion Tribe was all through illusion. If they maintained the appearance of an ordinary human, their strength would be reduced to less than 10%.
Gu Zheng's eyes quickly glanced around. The Demon Soul Elders all looked like they were watching a good show. As for Zhu Hun, he was still watching the battle behind, as if he had no interest in Gu Zheng at all.
Just as Gu Zheng was quickly sizing up the Elder of the Illusion Tribe, the Elder of the Illusion Tribe had already adjusted his state. Flames more than a foot high emerged from his body, and then he launched a new round of attacks at Gu Zheng.
After seeing the wound on Gu Zheng's fist, the Elder of the Illusion Tribe realized that his body's defense was higher than that of the Giant Tiger's. Especially with the spikes protecting his body, he was not afraid of the Elder of the Illusion Tribe at all.
Seeing this, Gu Zheng did not have a trace of fear. He directly strode forward and held out a wooden stick in his hand again. He could not use his fists, nor could he use weapons.
If not for the fact that he did not want to alert Zhu Hun, he would have replaced the wooden stick with a conventional weapon. He would have taken advantage of the situation just now to severely injure the Elder of the Illusion Tribe.
In the middle of the eight paths, his figure was about to leap up. On the other side, the Elder of the Illusion Tribe directly spat out another mouthful of smoke, directly sealing the area in front of him in advance. His whole body accelerated and rushed towards the Elder of the Illusion Tribe.
Gu Zheng made a bold move, which was beyond everyone's expectations. In the face of the Elder of the Illusion Tribe's attack, he directly swayed his body. When he saw the Elder of the Illusion Tribe raising its claws to slap him, he directly rolled under the Elder of the Illusion Tribe's claws and avoided the Elder of the Illusion Tribe's attack.
"Oh no!"
All the Elders of the Illusion Tribe had this thought in their hearts. Although the Illusion Tribe was much smaller than the Giant Tiger, its overall body was still huge. There was enough space under its body, and it could even squat under its body.
However, the Illusion Tribe did not have this kind of idea. When it saw Gu Zheng rolling down recklessly, an ugly smile appeared on its face. The flames on its body suddenly rose to a height of more than ten feet. All the space below was filled with flames, which made the other Elders feel that it was a false alarm.
Just as they felt relieved, thinking that Gu Zheng would suffer at least this time, they saw the fake qilin's body fly up.
Gu Zheng's figure appeared from below. The wooden stick in his hand had turned into a hammer at this time. There were no traces of flames on his body. It seemed that the flames did not hurt him at all.
At this time, he directly swung his hammer and flew up from below with a murderous aura. He quickly approached the Illusion Tribe and smashed the Illusion Tribe's head with the hammer. The Elders of the Illusion Tribe were nervous again.
However, the Illusion Tribe was not powerless at this time. Its head tilted slightly in mid-air, and the horn on its head flashed red. In an instant, a red light beam shot out, hitting Gu Zheng's body squarely in the middle.
In the next moment, a red bubble appeared outside Gu Zheng, imprisoning him inside. He was still in his last position, but he could not move and fell directly down.
Seeing this, everyone was relieved. It was a false alarm.
The Illusion Tribe adjusted its position in mid-air and looked down at Gu Zheng, who could not move. It opened its mouth, and a white light appeared from inside. It seemed that it was ready to completely kill Gu Zheng.
Just as the scorching white flame was about to fly out of his mouth, a figure slowly appeared below him and punched him in the jaw, closing his mouth.
At this time, a trace of fear flashed in the Illusion Tribe's eyes. Because its mouth had already launched an attack, even it could not stop.
"Boom!"
At the last moment, the Illusion Tribe Elder removed his transformation. However, the attack still exploded in mid-air, but the power was not as strong as before.
When the Illusion Tribe Elder appeared in front of everyone, his face was very pale. He was swaying in the air, and his breath was very unstable. It seemed that he was seriously injured.
"This time, are you interested?"
Gu Zheng looked at Zhu Hun, who was not far away, and said word by word.
