Bang! Bang!
Following a few extremely loud chirps, a few muffled sounds finally came from underground.
Gu Zheng subconsciously lowered his head and looked down. At that moment, White Nine was no longer passively defending. A red flaming battle spear was waving in her hand. One of her flaming red eyes was already open, but the other was still closed.
She was no longer fighting with the black phoenix from before. Instead, she was fighting with countless wasp-like creatures. There were so many of them that they almost drowned half the sky. No matter how many White Nine killed, the same number would fly out from the branches underground to obstruct her advance.
However, these things could only slow her down, not stop her.
The most dangerous thing here was the gray fog. Once it was ineffective, one would realize that there was nothing to be afraid of. However, even a quasi-sage phoenix elder couldn't enter. This showed how powerful the gray fog was.
Gu Zheng shifted his gaze and looked at the big mouth in front of him that was constantly spitting out gray fog. He didn't understand why the other party didn't speak. However, traces of white light had already condensed in his hand and was rapidly evolving into the shape of a long sword.
He wouldn't let go of such a good opportunity.
"Wait!"
Just as Gu Zheng used the remaining Pure Fire to condense a weapon, a ball of black fog appeared beside the big mouth. A voice also came from the black fog.
Such a familiar voice made Gu Zheng frown. However, he still stopped what he was doing. In fact, why was he condensing his weapon bit by bit? He wasn't naive enough to think that the other party had kindly sent him here so that he could successfully kill him.
As the black blob wriggled, a man with slightly darker skin and a slightly gloomy expression stood in front of Gu Zheng. Aside from his expression, he looked almost exactly the same as Gu Zheng. This made the smile on Gu Zheng's face become even wider.
"Do you think you can stop me just because you have a body like mine?"
"From the moment you came here, I knew your identity. I can quickly copy your information, just like what I did below," the black Gu Zheng said expressionlessly.
"Oh? Copy? That sounds like a lot. Then tell me what you know about me. "
Gu Zheng said disdainfully. In his heart, he naturally scoffed at Bai Jiu's words. Not to mention him, except for some special magic treasures, there was no such environment. At most, it was an illusion. However, his eyes still quickly swept down, wanting to see Bai Jiu's progress. This made him feel a little surprised.
This was because below, there was a woman whose body was covered in black flames and whose aura was on par with White Nine's. She also held a black battle spear and was currently fighting fiercely with her. Just from the surface, she seemed to be evenly matched with White Nine, who was not in a good state.
He didn't pay much attention to the people below and quickly turned back to look at himself in front of him. Obviously, this person was pushed out to fight with him. If the cooperation didn't work out, he was afraid that he would have to fight with himself.
However, Zhang Xuan believed that if that was the case, the other party would have been caught in a trap of his own making. Even if the other party had something to rely on, Zhang Xuan was no pushover. If the other party thought that he was helpless just because he was weak, he would be gravely mistaken.
Thinking of this, he wasn't in a hurry. If everything went smoothly, perhaps he wouldn't have to deal with this guy.
"You don't know what this is. All the remaining filth of the Great Desolate World was absorbed here and then purified and expelled from here. However, I don't want to stay here. I just want to live in a small place outside, but those damn phoenixes are blocking the gap and won't let me out."
Although this Gu Zheng spoke very indignantly, his face was still indifferent, as if it had nothing to do with him. However, the big mouth next to him spat at a faster rate.
Gu Zheng nodded slightly. It turned out that a tool had its own consciousness. It made sense that he didn't want to stay here. However, as for him saying that he wanted to go out quietly, Zhang Xuan didn't believe a word of it. Since it was the remains of filth, there was no need to make it sound so nice. Otherwise, why would the phoenixes be suppressed here forever? If they were really harmless to the world, they would have left long ago.
"Instead of trying to force your way out, why don't you change your personality and do your job well? This way, there might be hope for you to get out." Gu Zheng shook his head and said directly. Of course, he knew that the other party wouldn't listen to him.
A leopard couldn't change its spots.
However, he also understood that even if he became a Quasi-Sage, he wouldn't be able to kill the other party. As long as the filth of the world was still there, he would never die completely. However, he also understood why Elder Piao said that this was the other party's last chance.
Because after a period of time, the entire world would undergo a huge change. This place wouldn't be able to accumulate enough energy to break through the layers of space and return to the Great Desolate World. In the future, there wouldn't be such a crisis.
"I see the same essence in you as me. As long as you let me out, I can transfer a portion of it to you. As long as you swallow an appropriate amount, not only will it not affect you, it will also greatly increase your cultivation. Becoming a Quasi-Sage won't be a problem for you." The big mouth was persuading him earnestly.
Gu Zheng smiled and shook his head. Ultimately, the other party only saw the surface. Even if his master came personally, he wouldn't be moved by the other party, let alone him.
However, the pie that the other party painted was big enough. If it was an ordinary person, just breaking through to the Quasi-Sage Realm would be enough for them to take the risk.
"If you have any suggestions, just say it. As long as I can do it, I will definitely do it." The big mouth didn't understand Gu Zheng's intention and could only try to persuade him again.
He didn't know what Gu Zheng was thinking. He only felt the same strange feeling from the depths of Gu Zheng's heart. In addition to Gu Zheng's special ability, he wanted Gu Zheng to take the risk. After all, Gu Zheng was the second person he had seen who could enter this place. That person was from the Phoenix Race and couldn't possibly help him.
If there was someone helping him, it would be very easy for him to get out. There was no need for him to risk his life like this. Even so, it would be difficult for him to break out. He would have to go through the Phoenix Race and he really didn't have the confidence to do so.
"I don't have any objections. I only have one condition. If you agree to it, I will help you. At least let this woman go back." Gu Zheng revealed a faint smile and said to the big mouth.
"What condition?" The big mouth was overjoyed and asked immediately.
"That is …"
"Go to hell!"
Gu Zheng suddenly shouted. The little bird, which was already prepared, instantly disappeared into Gu Zheng's weapon. A very close phoenix cry came from the flaming sword in his hand. At this moment, he had already arrived at the side of the big mouth. The long sword in his hand was raised and directly slashed at the big mouth.
A white light flew out from the tip of the sword and turned into a mini phoenix in the blink of an eye. It was only three meters in size. If one looked carefully, it looked more like a magnified little bird. It directly turned into a white star and crashed down first.
"How dare you!"
A layer of gray fog mixed with black light instantly appeared on the big mouth. Almost at the moment when Gu Zheng moved, the big mouth had already prepared its defense. It was as if it had always been on guard against the other party and didn't believe him from the beginning to the end.
Gu Zheng had already expected this. After all, if it were him, he wouldn't be so careless as to let someone who he didn't know was an enemy or a friend be by his side. Even if the other party was weak, it was still necessary to have the necessary precautions.
"Boom!"
A huge white flame soared into the sky and even attracted the attention of Bai Jiu, who was fighting below.
"Am I hallucinating again? Damn it! I have to deal with her quickly. "
Bai Jiu glanced at the sky. The remaining flames formed by the white flame were like small white flowers blooming in the sky and slowly falling down.
That was the remnant power of the Cleansing Flame, and she knew that she was the only one inside. If it weren't for the fact that the Cleansing Flame had been damaged by the other party's attack and the Li Ring had been thrown out, she would have already killed the puppet in front of her.
However, it was fortunate that she had the Cleansing Flame this time. She would have been caught by the other party from the beginning. She hadn't expected the other party to endure for so long just for this.
She had to hurry.
Feeling the front of her begin to sway again, Bai Jiu focused her attention on the clone in front of her. This clone had almost the same ability as her, but it appeared in a different way. However, in terms of strength, it hadn't weakened at all. It wasn't difficult to deal with. As long as she used the true power of the phoenix, it would be fine.
In order to hurry, Bai Jiu had no choice but to use her trump card. As for Gu Zheng, he was also somewhat cautious as he looked in front of him.
He originally had ninety percent confidence in his attack, but when it struck the other party's defense, he discovered that he hadn't been able to injure himself at all.
It wasn't that the other party's defense was too strong. In front of the Cleansing Flame, it had only lasted for two breaths of time before the layer of defense around it had completely collapsed. And during that time, the huge mouth had already quietly disappeared.
The other party's main body didn't have any offensive ability, and once it was fixed in a certain place, it wouldn't be able to move for a short period of time. The only danger it had was its claws and fangs. It also had a certain image of its enemy that was similar to its enemy. However, according to Bai Jiu, although the other party looked the same, it was actually just a facade.
However, the other party was very good at learning. As long as you used a move once, the other party would be able to copy it and learn it in just a few breaths of time. It would even grow in battle. This was also why Bai Jiu had to find it difficult to defeat it every time.
As for Gu Zheng, he was facing his own avatar. The avatar had the same cultivation as him, and its aura was exactly the same. Even its fingers held a sword that burned with black flames. However, it was clear that the other party's fighting style was a bit strange. Upon closer inspection, Gu Zheng saw Bai Jiu's shadow below. It was just an outer appearance. In truth, he was facing Bai Jiu's avatar.
Speaking of which, if Gu Zheng really wanted to kill the other party, it wouldn't be difficult. However, he was more worried about the other creatures. If they really came at him, he would have no choice but to run for his life. In comparison, his avatar would be easier to deal with. He didn't have a cultivation as high as Bai Jiu's, so he naturally couldn't deal with them.
As he dodged the other party's attacks, he began to search for traces of the other party.
However, it was too difficult to find the other party in such a large area. In particular, the thick black fog around him blocked his vision. In this huge space, it would take some time to find the other party.
Gu Zheng naturally knew why. It was because the Cleansing Flame was provided by the chick, and it was in an incomplete state. It was equivalent to an incomplete Cleansing Flame. If it was a complete Cleansing Flame, even if the other party was on guard, Gu Zheng was confident that he could injure the other party in one fell swoop. This was also Bai Jiu's confidence.
It was also his fault for being too confident. He felt that he could rely on the chick to complete the mission. There was no need to use the incomplete Cleansing Flame. Perhaps when he dealt with the phoenix, he could obtain some benefits.
Now, he had begun to compress the Li Ring's power as much as possible. The incomplete Cleansing Flame had also been channeled into the chick's body. As long as he found the other party, he would definitely be able to complete his mission.
Just as Gu Zheng was anxiously searching, a great threat suddenly came from the side. Gu Zheng hurriedly turned his head and saw that it was Bai Jiu.
However, at this moment, the other party's condition was extremely bad. His right eye, which was originally tightly shut, was half-opened, and a gray light could be clearly seen coming out from the gap. Even his left eye was half-closed, and the red light within it was beginning to flicker. His entire body was on the verge of collapse.
Seeing this, Gu Zheng immediately dodged his opponent and arrived in front of Bai Jiu. He asked her with concern, "Are you alright?"
However, what Gu Zheng didn't expect was that the other party only raised her head to look at him. Then, she gently slapped her palm towards Gu Zheng's chest. Although it seemed slow, it instantly arrived in front of Gu Zheng's chest. He was caught off guard. Even if he was prepared, he couldn't keep up with the other party's speed.
However, before he could react, the chick above Gu Zheng's head suddenly let out a hurried chirp. This woke the groggy Bai Jiu up. She subconsciously reduced the strength of her hand by half, but she still pressed her palm against Gu Zheng's chest. Her other hand moved like lightning to remove the Li Ring from Gu Zheng's wrist. At the same time, she didn't retract her arm that was pressed against Gu Zheng's chest. She grabbed the chick and stuffed it into the Li Ring.
"Pfft!"
A mouthful of blood spurted out from Gu Zheng's mouth. His entire body was like a cannonball as he was instantly sent flying. He smashed through countless branches and continued to fly outwards. He crossed more than half the distance in the middle before finally landing heavily on the ground. He kept rolling, breaking countless protruding stone pillars. At the same time, he left behind a trail of blood. Finally, he stopped and lay unconscious on the ground. Only his chest rose and fell faintly, indicating that he wasn't dead yet.
The difference in strength between the two was too great. If the other party hadn't shown mercy at the critical moment, Gu Zheng would have been killed on the spot.
"It's all an illusion. I have to completely suppress this place. I have to hurry. There's not much time left!" Bai Jiu didn't even look at Gu Zheng. After putting the Separation Bracelet on his wrist, his entire body once again emitted a sky-high flame. He muttered to himself in a somewhat deranged manner as he continued to fly upwards. It seemed that he already knew where the other party was hiding.
Gu Zheng's phantom immediately tried to stop the other party, but it was instantly torn apart by Bai Jiu's flames. Bai Jiu's entire body rushed upwards, not caring about the branches or anything else in the way. He left behind a straight path, and everything in this path disappeared.
"This time, where do you think you're going?!"
Soon, Bai Jiu's angry roar came from the tree.
"You still fell for it. There's hope for you to get out this time. Haha!"
"Rumble!"
A huge explosion came from the tree. Countless broken branches were blown off the tree. Occasionally, Bai Jiu's angry and irregular shouts could be heard.
As for Gu Zheng below, because he didn't have the protection of the Cleansing Fire, countless black fog and gray gas began to surge into his body. Then, they disappeared without a trace. It was like a drop of water falling into the sea. There was no reaction.
No matter how many drops of water there were, they would never be able to replace the position of the sea.
In Gu Zheng's body, a mysterious power constantly appeared everywhere. Whether it was the gray gas or the black fog outside, they were all devoured when they entered his body. They didn't touch Gu Zheng's body at all. They even felt that the power from the outside world was too small. They began to control Gu Zheng's body to float in the air and take the initiative to absorb the power from the outside world.
Countless black fog and gray gas, with Gu Zheng as the center, were like a huge vortex. They formed dozens of arm-thick pillars that constantly surged into his body from the outside.
The explosions in the distance stopped at some point. It was quiet. The entire space had fallen into a deathly silence. Only the whistling of countless air masses condensing towards Gu Zheng could be heard.
Gu Zheng's injuries had already recovered in a short period of time. He had even broken through the bottleneck of the late stage with the help of this power and entered the peak. Unfortunately, he didn't know about it at all.
In the short time it took to brew a cup of tea, all the remaining black and gray gas in the entire cave had disappeared. At first glance, it was no different from an ordinary cave, except for the strange tree.
At this moment, all the strange things on the tree had disappeared. In fact, most of the branches were broken, making the tree look extremely miserable.
However, under the tree, White Nine was already lying on the ground, unconscious. Not far from her, a big mouth was also lying on the ground. The mouth was still spewing out smoke, but this time, there was no more smoke coming out of it.
In the distance, when Gu Zheng swallowed the last bit of fog, his eyes opened without warning.
It was a pair of very cold eyes, as if he had no feelings for the entire world. In the depths of his eyes, there was an absolute coldness that didn't contain a trace of human aura.
Gu Zheng was still Gu Zheng. His appearance was still the same, but his temperament had suddenly changed. It was as if he had become a different person.
In the past, when others saw Gu Zheng, their first impression was that he was warm and warm. Coupled with his refined smile, it was very easy for people to have a good impression of him. But now, his face was cold. It wasn't the kind that kept people thousands of miles away, but a rejection that came from his bones. It made people subconsciously feel that he didn't like people approaching him at all.
It felt as if something bad would happen if they approached him.
"This feeling is really good!"
Gu Zheng stretched and said with some emotion. At the same time, he looked around and quickly saw the unconscious White Nine in the distance. He held his chin with one hand and thought very seriously. Then, he revealed a devilish smile.
"Mm, what a good opportunity. It wasn't easy to wake up. While the main body hasn't woken up yet, I can still play for a while."
