Deep underground, there was a flash of golden light. As the whirlpool spun rapidly, Meng Zhen and Elder Xiong appeared.
"Your spell is really useful underground, especially under such circumstances. It saved us a lot of time. But I didn't expect this place to be so difficult to deal with."
Elder Xiong praised Meng Zhen as soon as they came out. The journey took less than one-tenth of the time. It didn't use up any of her energy or mana. He also heard about the problems that Meng Zhen encountered. She didn't encounter any of them because she was too strong. That didn't affect her.
The journey wasn't difficult, but it took a lot of time. After hearing that three of the areas were difficult to deal with, they saved a lot of energy and time.
"What's in there?" Meng Zhen didn't feel proud. Instead, she asked curiously.
"It's a long story. I'll tell you in detail later. But you're also very strong. If you can last till the end, your cultivation will probably increase."
"You flatter me!" Meng Zhen was humble. She knew her own situation. It was too difficult to improve. She didn't have any hope for now. She then pointed ahead and said, "There's a monster hiding here. Gu Zheng has already injured it. What's your plan, Elder Xiong?"
The place they had arrived at was the place where Meng Zhen had rescued Gu Zheng.
"Don't worry about it. It's just a half-finished product. As long as the Demon God dies, it will die too. There's no need to fight it to the death. It has special abilities. I'm not in my best condition now. I might not be able to kill it perfectly." Elder Xiong said after pondering for a while.
"Alright. Elder Xiong, please be careful. It might come out to cause trouble." Meng Zhen didn't say much and continued to cast the tunnel.
The two of them quickly moved forward, and the monster didn't come out to cause trouble, allowing them to quickly arrive at the final area. Further ahead was the place where Gu Zheng used to be.
"I'll wait here for Elder Xiong's triumphant return. There's no danger ahead. It's just a straight line." Meng Zhen stopped at the place where she separated from Gu Zheng.
"Come with us. We have the confidence to protect you. It's not safe for you to stay here alone." Elder Xiong shook his head and didn't agree with Meng Zhen.
"Alright then."
Meng Zhen thought about it and realized that it was not as Elder Xiong had said. Previously, he had stayed here because he was going to leave soon. If he stayed here now, he could guarantee that the monster would come out and he would not be able to deal with it.
Just as Elder Xiong and Meng Zhen were rushing over, a white-hot battle was going on inside.
After such a short period of time, they had all figured out each other's moves. Now, if they wanted to rely on grinding each other to death, it would be very difficult to do so in the opponent's territory.
Now, only his trump cards and killing moves had not been revealed. If he were to engage in a new battle, it would not be so easy. It would definitely be a scene of life and death.
"Huhuhu!"
The Demon God would take advantage of the moment when the two of them put some distance between them to release a large amount of black fog from all over his body. He took the opportunity to avoid the two of them, then turned into a wisp of black smoke and retreated to another corner.
Gu Zheng and the Vermilion Bird didn't press on either. They also retreated. They had also sensed that Old Xiong and the others were rushing over.
In the past two days of battle, both sides had suffered injuries and wounds. In comparison, the demonic god's injuries were probably more serious.
"Finally, everyone is here."
After the demonic god closed the restriction in the middle, he saw that Elder Xiong had joined them and laughed. It was extremely strange, as though he was very happy to see this scene.
Gu Zheng also couldn't understand what the demonic god was doing. One had to know that in the previous battle, he was already a match for them alone. Moreover, with Elder Xiong joining the battle, he was definitely at a disadvantage.
Previously, they were still worried that the demonic god would fight them to the death for fear that it would affect Elder Xiong. Therefore, they just kept the demonic god in suspense. It was like a warm-up. Now that they were working together, they would completely make the demonic god disappear at this time.
As he thought about it, he had already turned around and walked over to Elder Xiong.
"Elder Xiong!"
The Vermilion Bird didn't care about it and glared at the demonic god. He also flew over to Elder Xiong and squeezed Gu Zheng's position to check on his injuries.
"I'm fine. It's just a superficial wound. It won't affect me at all." Elder Xiong said with a smile.
"Do you think I'll believe you? You've already suffered some serious injuries. You can only use 60% of your strength at most. Later on, you should rest first to prevent the demonic god from escaping. Gu Zheng and I will deal with him. "The Vermilion Bird said to Elder Xiong after checking on him.
Gu Zheng didn't mind. From the corner of his eyes, he saw that the demonic god was still looking at them with a cold smile. He didn't seem to have any intention of making a move. He walked straight to Meng Zhen. "Did you encounter any danger? You've worked hard! "
"To be honest, I didn't encounter any danger when I saved Elder Xiong. It only took a little time. I'll tell you the details later." Meng Zhen wanted to see the world that Elder Xiong had really hidden. He didn't know if it was good or bad that he had exposed it this time.
"Alright. Later on, you have to protect yourself. Don't join the battle. I have a feeling that the demonic god is still plotting something. If you can't handle it, leave this place first." Gu Zheng said what was in his heart.
As soon as he said that, he saw Meng Zhen frowning.
"I can watch from the side. However, I won't run away from the battle. You know how special I am. Take my picture scroll. This way, if the demonic god really wants to deal with me, I won't die easily. You guys can even take the opportunity to attack him. Who knows, I might even be able to help you guys a little."
"Alright. Just be careful."
Hearing the determination in Meng Zhen's voice, Gu Zheng kept the picture scroll in his sleeve. He didn't object to it anymore.
Even if he asked Meng Zhen to leave, Meng Zhen would definitely not agree to it. Hence, he could only remind him.
This time around, Meng Zhen didn't say much. He retreated to the corner to show his determination.
The Vermilion Bird and Elder Xiong walked over to Gu Zheng. Elder Xiong said emotionally.
"To think that you've grown so much. This time around, I'm still saved by you."
"To be honest, it was Senior Vermilion Bird who told me to come. I have a grudge with this demonic god. Even if I didn't have to come, I would have come. I'm the one who benefited from it." Gu Zheng said humbly.
"Haha, that's because of you. I can only say that it's a coincidence." The Vermilion Bird laughed.
At this moment, the Vermilion Bird was very excited. Even if they couldn't kill the demonic god now, as long as they saved Elder Xiong, half of the mission would be completed. As long as the two of them were together, the demonic god wouldn't be able to get away with it the next time he came.
Although the bloodlines of the two of them were enemies in ancient times, the relationship between the two of them had long been very good. When he realized that something had happened to Elder Xiong, he wanted to save him no matter what. In the end, he was ambushed by the demonic god and was almost kidnapped. Speaking of which, it was Gu Zheng who helped him.
"Let's not talk about anything else. Let's get rid of this demonic god first. Not only will I avenge you guys, but I'll also solve my problem." Gu Zheng said with a smile.
The three of them acted as if there was no one around. They didn't care about the demonic god beside them at all. On the other hand, the demonic god seemed to be looking over with interest.
"Be careful. It seems like the demonic god has a backup plan." Gu Zheng saw the demonic god outside from the corner of his eye and transmitted his voice to the other two.
In fact, they were hoping that the demonic god would either escape. As long as the demonic god let out his anger, he wouldn't be able to escape at all. He would definitely be hunted to death. Or, he would use his final trump card. That way, it would be easier for them to deal with him. Sometimes, the best way was to strike after the enemy had struck. However, it seemed like the demonic god didn't fall for it.
The other two nodded silently. They were only slightly disappointed in their hearts. After exchanging a few glances, they roughly understood each other's thoughts.
"Stop muttering. If you want to attack, hurry up and do it. I still hope that you guys can kill me." The demonic god suddenly said.
His words shocked everyone. However, seeing that the demonic god didn't seem to be faking it, they couldn't understand his actions at all.
"Where's that pet of yours? Call it out. "Gu Zheng looked at the demonic god and said bluntly.
"There's no need for that. I alone am enough to deal with you guys. Come." The demonic god smiled. The three of them didn't know what he meant.
"Since that's the case, today will be the day you die."
The Vermilion Bird waved her hand and a line of fire flew out from her hand. It landed at the edge of the demonic god's restriction and rose up in front of it. It continued to spread in all directions. Soon, a new restriction rose up in the surroundings. It was mainly to guard against the monster outside that wasn't weak. At the same time, it was to prevent the demonic god from escaping.
This time, it was a battle of life and death.
"Come. I've been waiting for a long time."
The demonic god's figure flashed and another clone that looked exactly the same appeared from his body. Even the aura was exactly the same. Then, he launched a preemptive attack on them.
"I've been waiting for this moment for a long time. I've said it before. Give me a chance and I'll let you taste my pain."
Elder Xiong said angrily. At the same time, a layer of ice armor appeared on his body, covering his entire body. Only his charming eyes were exposed. He was holding a weapon that was refined from his own claw. It was surrounded by a layer of azure ice. He slashed at one of the demonic gods.
When he was about to get close to the demonic god, a layer of white cold air emerged from the weapon, causing the surroundings to become cold. It was as if even the air could be frozen. However, the demonic god that was facing him didn't seem to be affected at all. With a flip of his hand, he took out a shield that was surrounded by black fog and placed it in front of him.
Following a loud sound, ice flowers scattered in all directions. The demonic god had received the other party's furious attack.
They had already exchanged blows before. It could be said that they knew each other very well. Elder Xiong was no match for the demonic god at his peak. Moreover, he could only use 60% of his strength now. It was normal that he couldn't defeat the other party.
When Elder Xiong went forward, the Vermilion Bird also rushed toward the other demonic god. No matter what secret technique the other party used, it would consume a lot of energy to maintain two clones of the same level. It was impossible for there to be no limit. The Vermilion Bird flashed forward. The long red whip in her hand danced in the air, creating wind and constantly making sounds.
However, the Vermilion Bird was all bark and no bite. It seemed that she wanted to exhaust the other party. When the other party was weak, she would take the opportunity to swarm him.
Gu Zheng, who was standing at the side, also understood that other than the Corpse Severing of a Sage-to-be, to maintain two bodies, one would either have to rely on magic treasures or secret techniques. Under normal circumstances, it could only be used as a trump card. Once time passed, the price to pay would not be small.
Because of Elder Xiong's weakness, Gu Zheng moved around to help Elder Xiong to prevent the other party from taking the opportunity to hurt Elder Xiong.
However, what puzzled Gu Zheng was that he felt that something was wrong with the demonic god. It could be explained if the Vermilion Bird could not free herself to counterattack when attacking with all her strength. However, in the face of Elder Xiong's attacks, there were clearly several opportunities for Gu Zheng to prepare for the other party. However, he found that the demonic god did not care at all. The demonic god only focused on defense. Occasionally, it would counterattack, but it did not do much.
Even when he went forward to launch a sneak attack, he did not find a good opportunity. The more he looked at it, the more he felt that something was wrong. It was as if the demonic god was stalling for time.
Thinking of this, he felt an inexplicable pressure. It seemed that the demonic god did not fight them seriously from the beginning. Instead, he was using them. He did not even look at the vigilant Meng Zhen, as if he did not exist.
However, what was he using them for? It seemed that the demonic god did not leave the place from the beginning to the end. He was sure that there were no other formations here. He really could not figure it out.
If he could not figure it out, then he would not think about it. What the enemy wanted to do was to oppose it. Since the other party wanted to stall for time, then there was no need to waste time. They should just end the battle quickly. Thinking of this, he immediately sent a voice transmission to the two of them and told them his guess.
"I also noticed it. In that case, let's do our best to injure the other party. After that, I will use my item to kill him in one fell swoop."
The Vermilion Bird had previously told Gu Zheng about the trump card in her hand. However, at that time, her main goal was to save Elder Xiong, so she did not think much about it.
"I also noticed it. However, I also have a trump card. I can let my cultivation recover to its peak and last for a month," Elder Xiong also replied to Gu Zheng.
"Let's not waste time with the other party. Retreat and go all out."
As Elder Xiong and the Vermilion Bird launched their last attack, they easily retreated and landed on both sides of Gu Zheng. Without much nonsense, they immediately began to prepare their killing moves.
The Vermilion Bird's hands quickly flipped a few times in the air. Then, an ancient talisman appeared in the air. It quickly changed its shape in the air, looking like a small bird. A mouthful of pale golden blood spurted from her mouth directly onto the talisman. With a flash of golden light and a loud chirp, a small golden bird flapped its wings and flew in the air.
Its golden feathers were like fish scales, burning with a frightening aura. At a glance, it looked like a small phoenix, but it only had the shape.
Even so, it was enough to make people afraid. What's more, the Vermilion Bird had also transformed into her original form of five feet in size. With raging flames, she stared sharply at the Demon God, not to be outdone by the small phoenix.
As soon as the small phoenix appeared, the Demon God's previously indifferent expression turned cautious. The doppelganger that he had separated earlier also returned to his body to deal with the upcoming crisis.
Elder Xiong was no exception. With a turn of his body, a giant white bear with a size of three zhang appeared on the spot. Following a furious roar, strands of cold air kept emerging from his body to quickly condense into a pair of crystal-like gauntlets in the air. However, this gauntlet was somewhat special. It extended up to his shoulders, covering his entire arm.
Elder Xiong's thick arm stretched forward, perfectly fitting into the glove. The protruding spikes on the glove flashed with cold light. The entire glove flickered with countless runes, incessantly flickering all over. With a single glance, one could tell that this was an incomparably powerful magic treasure.
Although the Vermilion Bird attacked first, by the time she moved, Elder Xiong had already rushed forward. He threw a punch at the Demon God's head.
Streams of cold air kept appearing out of thin air in the surroundings. In the next moment, they formed countless sharp spikes, stabbing at the Demon God from all directions. The surrounding cold air made the latter's movements slow down.
However, the Demon God naturally knew how powerful the other party was. His whole body shook slightly, and the discomfort in his body disappeared. He did not confront the other party directly. Even if the other party was not strong now, it had not been long since the last time he was sent flying by the other party. Naturally, he knew how powerful the other party was. He could not help but admire this.
With a slight twist of his body, his whole body seemed to be covered with an invisible layer of defense, making his whole body look as if he was in another space.
The surrounding spikes passed through his body without affecting the other party in the slightest. Even Elder Xiong's attack missed the other party's cheek. Before she could catch the flaw of the Demon God, his body twisted and turned, and directly escaped from her attack range.
However, although Elder Xiong missed the other party, the Vermilion Bird behind him saw it clearly. The little phoenix's whole body sped up and directly stretched out its little beak. It quickly stretched out not far from the Demon God. Its speed was so fast that it felt like only its head was stretched forward. However, on the Demon God's shoulder, a small black hole suddenly appeared, and wisps of black smoke escaped from it.
The two people who dealt with the Demon God knew that the Demon God had been injured, and their hearts were lifted.
Immediately after, the Vermilion Bird behind them raised her head, and once again, a ball of hot flames was shot out, covering a large area in front of them.
Although she was the one who summoned the little phoenix, she could not accurately pinpoint the other party's position. She could only use indiscriminate attacks to attack the other party.
Countless flames continued to burn in front of them, completely covering the area where the Blackgod was. A small figure was like a fish in water, constantly wandering around and attacking the Demon God.
Although Gu Zheng did not attack the other party, he was holding his weapon tightly in his hand. His eyes were constantly looking inside, ready to take action if anything happened.
Elder Xiong also stood in front of the Vermilion Bird, looking inside vigilantly, facing the other party's sudden attack.
If they were to fight the Demon God alone, perhaps they would not be his match. However, if they worked together, with the three of them, he was definitely not their match, so they could not act separately.
"Looks like I have to take you seriously."
In the flames, an angry shout suddenly sounded. The little phoenix that went in was also sent flying out. Just as it wanted to go in again, a black wave of air exploded in front of them, instantly annihilating all the nearby flames, and rushed towards them violently.
"That monster is coming. Be careful!"
Meng Zhen, who was in a distant corner, suddenly felt a familiar aura at this time, and suddenly shouted a warning in that direction.
