In the face of Gu Zheng's attack, the Blood Soul's lackeys naturally wouldn't let him suffer any harm. They used all sorts of methods to neutralize the water arrows as they approached the Blood Soul. As for the fire dragon that Gu Zheng used before the water arrows, it was also held back by the Corpse Devil Ancestor's forces!
At the same time, Wei Fengxing and the others who were helping the Blood Soul to neutralize the water arrows all moved out.
"Bang, bang, bang …"
The Nine-Colored Illusion Sonic Conch flickered as the third wave of attacks from the Blood Tide appeared. The Immortal Array sounded like a drum being beaten.
"Gu Zheng!"
The Blood Soul in the air glanced at Gu Zheng with a cold and cruel gaze.
Gu Zheng flew towards the Blood Soul. He wanted to see if he could get rid of the Blood Soul by using a thunderous method.
"Heh."
The Blood Soul sneered coldly and then spat out a breath towards the Nine-Colored Illusion Sonic Conch. The Nine-Colored Illusion Sonic Conch flashed and a huge blood-red tornado swept towards Gu Zheng.
"Slash!"
Gu Zheng stopped and slashed twice with Tang Mo in his hand. The cross-shaped saber light met the blood-red tornado.
There wasn't any earth-shattering explosion. Gu Zheng's cross-shaped saber light split the tornado apart! However, although the tornado was split apart, it didn't dissipate. It carried a strange cross shape and continued to fly towards Gu Zheng.
"Kill him!"
Wei Fengxing roared and sent a portion of his divine sense towards Gu Zheng.
Wei Fengxing hated Gu Zheng very much! After all, Gu Zheng had brought them a lot of trouble. Some people had died directly or indirectly because of Gu Zheng.
The Demon Sect's cooperation was very tacit. Wei Fengxing sent a portion of his divine sense to attack while the others flew towards Gu Zheng. Coupled with the fiery red tornado, Gu Zheng had no choice but to temporarily avoid it.
At the same time, the Corpse Devil Ancestor and the others in the air paid a price and gave up their entanglement with Master Yu Feng and the others. They flew towards the Blood Soul below.
"Heh."
Xue Hun looked at Corpse Devil Ancestor who was flying over and mocked him.
The Nine-Colored Illusion Sonic Shell was once again activated by the blood soul. A loud noise came from the surface of the sea. The immortal array that prevented the Devil Dao from entering the Blood Tide Forbidden Zone was finally destroyed by the blood soul.
Due to the destruction of the Immortal Array, the battlefield fell into a momentary silence. Then, both the Righteous and Evil Paths split into two factions.
According to what Jasmine had said, the evil energy in the Blood Tide Forbidden Area was divided into three levels. The closer one was to the evil source, the more powerful the evil energy would be. The evil qi in the water region above the forbidden zone immortal array was of one grade, the evil qi in the water region below the immortal array was of another grade, and the evil qi in the evil source was of another grade. The Evil Qi in the Evil Source was so powerful that even a cultivator at the Late-stage of Void Return would have to be extremely cautious when encountering it! As for why they had to wait until the Hungry Ghost Festival, it was because the immortal array in the forbidden zone would only have a loophole during the Hungry Ghost Festival. It was also the only day they could pass through the immortal array and approach the 'evil source'.
The Righteous and Evil Paths were divided into Late-stage Void Return factions. Those whose cultivation base wasn't at the Late-stage of Void Return would stay on the surface of the sea and fight. Those whose cultivation base had reached the Late-stage of Void Return would dive into the sea.
Whether it was on the surface of the sea or in the Blood Tide Forbidden Area, there would be a bloody battle. It was a battle between the Righteous and Evil Paths that would affect the changes in the world.
The Righteous Path Alliance had expected that the immortal array in the Blood Tide Forbidden Area would be broken, so they came up with a strategy to deal with it. According to their previous strategy, all the members of the Righteous Path Alliance who entered the sea had to stay together and advance and retreat together. They couldn't be separated!
However, there was always a gap between imagination and reality. After everyone rushed into the sea, the Nine-Colored Illusion Sonic Conch in the Blood Soul's hand flashed, and the scene around them changed greatly.
In the blood-red sea, countless huge rotting sea monsters rushed toward the members of the Righteous Path Alliance. What was even more shocking was that everyone felt that their strength had been weakened to varying degrees. It became a little difficult to deal with these sea monsters.
"This is an array that was created in an instant with the help of the Blood Tide's uniqueness! If we don't break this array, everyone's cultivation base will be suppressed and won't be able to return. Just these sea monsters alone are enough to take everyone's lives! "
The Artifact Spirit's solemn voice immediately sounded in Gu Zheng's mind.
"How do we break it?" Gu Zheng asked.
"I'm trying to deduce a way to break the array. However, this array is too strange. Even if I tell you the way to break it quickly, I'm afraid …" The Artifact Spirit hesitated.
"You're saying that everyone will be separated?"
Gu Zheng furrowed his brows tightly. There were just too many sea monsters. Their bodies formed a meat wall that separated them from the rest of the group.
"That's right. That's why you have to have a plan."
After the Artifact Spirit hurriedly said this, he didn't say anything else and focused on deducing a way to break the array.
Although Gu Zheng still relied heavily on the Artifact Spirit when he was breaking the array, after experiencing so many Celestial Arrays and learning a lot about Celestial Arrays from the Artifact Spirit, he could see some of the situations of the Celestial Arrays even if the Artifact Spirit didn't tell him.
For example, the countless sea monsters in this Celestial Array weren't illusory. Although Gu Zheng didn't know where they came from, they really existed.
Moreover, the sea monsters had separated everyone. This wasn't a spontaneous action. It was obviously the result of receiving an order! Then, since someone had issued an order to the sea monsters to separate everyone, wouldn't that person have a backup plan? Definitely not!
Gu Zheng had seen sea monsters when he first came to Blood Tide Island. At that time, the sea monsters were controlled by Shangguan Feng's nephew. They looked like big fish on the outside, but their strength was only equivalent to a cultivator of the fifth realm.
Now, these sea monsters didn't have any particularly powerful techniques. They only relied on their strong bodies. If one had to classify their strength, it was estimated that they were only slightly more powerful than a cultivator of the fifth realm, but definitely not as powerful as an immortal cultivator. A group of sea monsters like this was able to trap a cultivator of the Void Return Realm. It was easy to imagine what kind of suppression Gu Zheng and the others were under in this strange formation.
The smell of blood in the sea was very strong, and there was even a stench. One sea monster after another was dismembered by Gu Zheng's Tang Mo, but they just kept coming. It looked like they were going to tire Gu Zheng to death by taking turns.
"Awoo …"
After the jet-black saber light passed, another three sea monsters were cut in half by Gu Zheng at the same time. They screamed as they fell into the deep sea after being cut in half. However, at this moment, a black light flew from behind a sea monster and pierced Gu Zheng's heart!
The black light came too suddenly, and Gu Zheng could only dodge it.
"Crack …"
There were a total of two layers of protection on the surface of Gu Zheng's body. One layer was the protection of the immortal artifact Emei Ring, and the other layer was the protection of the Hundred Poisons Impenetrable Robe. However, these two layers of protection were shattered under the impact of the black light. Moreover, the black light's momentum didn't diminish, and it even pierced a bloody hole in his shoulder. A strange evil Qi also immediately burrowed into his body from the wound.
The fire-resistant crown on Gu Zheng's head flashed, and the evil Qi that had just entered his body was immediately expelled. The dragon blood crystal had already been embedded in Gu Zheng's fire-resistant crown by Lian Yuxin, so that it would be convenient for him to enter the Blood Tide Forbidden Area in the future.
"Wei Fengxing!"
Gu Zheng gritted his teeth and looked at the man who had emitted the black light from the sea monster.
"That's right, it's the Old Man!"
Since his sneak attack had failed, Wei Fengxing decided to openly show himself. He looked at Gu Zheng and gritted his teeth. "A sect that was originally in decline has actually developed to the point where it dares to go against the Demon Sect in such a short time in your hands! And you yourself are even more abominable. You actually killed my beloved concubine in the Heavenly Snail Cave! "
Wei Fengxing's younger sister, Wei Fengting, had died in the hands of Laozi. Gu Zheng knew about this matter, and the so-called beloved concubine that Wei Fengxing spoke of, in Gu Zheng's opinion, was most likely Qiao Shan in the Heavenly Snail Cave.
"If I could turn back time, I would definitely let Qiao Shan die a more miserable death!" Gu Zheng sneered.
"You deserve to die!"
Wei Fengting roared angrily and pushed a palm toward Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng didn't say anything else and immediately pushed out a palm.
Wei Fengting and Gu Zheng were fighting in the water. The palms that the two of them pushed out were definitely not palm winds, but a contest of water currents.
The collision of the two streams of water created a huge shockwave that caused the surrounding sea monsters to stagger.
In fact, during the short exchange between Gu Zheng and Wei Fengxing, the sea monsters didn't give up on attacking Gu Zheng. It was still the same at this moment.
The current situation was that although Wei Fengxing wouldn't be attacked by the sea monsters, his strength was similarly suppressed in this strange formation. Therefore, it wouldn't be particularly easy for him to kill Gu Zheng.
The violent currents swept back and forth. The two people in the sea used their own methods to fight. From time to time, sea monsters would be swept away by the violent currents and even torn to pieces.
Wei Fengxing had made a big mistake. In this strange environment, if he went to find Laozi and the others who were on par with him under normal circumstances, he would definitely be able to kill them. However, of all things he shouldn't have done, it was to provoke Gu Zheng!
Not to mention that Gu Zheng had many trump cards that he could use, just by relying on his own methods, he had the upper hand in this strange formation.
Whether it was Gu Zheng and the others or Wei Fengting, their strength was suppressed in this formation! However, this suppression was mainly aimed at the immortal power ball. When the immortal power ball was suppressed, everything related to immortal power would be greatly reduced.
However, cultivators didn't just have immortal power balls in their bodies. They could also cultivate the innate spirits of the five elements, such as' innate true fire 'and' innate true water '.
The innate spirits of the five elements were the same as the immortal power ball. They also existed in the dantian of cultivators. They had a certain degree of connection with the immortal power ball, but they were two separate entities.
The formation had the effect of suppressing the immortal power ball, but it had no effect on the innate spirits of the five elements! Although the power of the Five Elements Immortal Technique would be reduced without the support of a huge amount of immortal power, it was not restricted by the formation and could still use the innate five elements Immortal Technique. In this situation, it was as if the strong right hand was restrained, but the weak left hand was not restrained!
Gu Zheng's water-type Immortal Technique, in addition to the Immortal Technique he had comprehended when the Water Control Art had advanced to the advanced level, he also had the Immortal Technique 'Raging Sea Tide' that he had inherited from Ancestor Bi Hai. As for how powerful the Raging Sea Tide was as a set of Immortal Techniques, even the weapon spirits who had seen the world were full of praise for it.
With Gu Zheng's current strength, although he didn't dare to say that he was invincible at the peak of the Return to Void Stage, he was very confident that he wouldn't be afraid of cultivators at the peak of the Return to Void Stage at all!
The current situation was that Wei Fengxing, who was bent on killing Gu Zheng, had forced Gu Zheng into a somewhat difficult situation with the help of the sea monsters. However, what he didn't know was that Gu Zheng was only waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity where Wei Fengxing couldn't escape and would die without a doubt.
The violent water current swept everything in the surroundings, and Gu Zheng was also swept up in the water current. Because of this, his body was very unstable.
Wei Fengxing pushed out his palms, and the bubbles in the water current instantly gathered beside Gu Zheng, forming a large bubble that enveloped him.
"Die!"
Wei Fengxing was very happy that Gu Zheng was trapped in the bubble. As long as he was trapped in the bubble, he would die without a doubt. After all, there was once a cultivator at the peak of the Return to Void Stage who died in Wei Fengxing's hands like this.
Wei Fengxing's hand seals changed back and forth, and an incredible pressure suddenly appeared in the bubble. This kind of pressure would increase with his hand seals, and it would only take a moment for Gu Zheng to explode from the pressure.
Wei Fengxing was very happy. From his point of view, Gu Zheng would die very soon.
Gu Zheng was also very happy. Being trapped in the bubble was a rare opportunity. Wei Fengxing wouldn't be able to escape!
Wei Fengxing wanted to see Gu Zheng's fear and futile struggle. Unfortunately, he didn't see that. All he saw was Gu Zheng giving him a strange smile. Then, he quickly changed his hand seals twice, and he suddenly felt a powerful suction force!
The powerful suction force was very strange. He made Wei Fengxing continue to control the bubble uncontrollably, and he continued to increase the pressure on it. He couldn't even stop midway! However, at this moment, Gu Zheng seemed to have used the 'Wall Passing Technique', and he easily squeezed out of the bubble that was impossible to squeeze out of.
"Impossible!"
Wei Fengxing's sweat flowed into the seawater. At this moment, there was no longer any coldness on his face. Instead, there was only endless fear.
Ever since he became a cultivator at the peak of the Return to Void Stage, Wei Fengxing had never felt fear again! However, at this moment, he recalled something that happened a long time ago.
"Fengxing, the 'Bubble Cage' immortal technique is very powerful. As long as you can trap your opponent in the bubble, even if the opponent's cultivation is slightly higher than yours, they will definitely die! However, this immortal technique has a drawback. Once this drawback is used by others, your life will be in danger! "
"Master, what's the drawback of this immortal technique? I don't feel any drawbacks! "
"I didn't notice its drawbacks either, but your grandmaster once told me the same thing. As for why we couldn't discover the drawbacks of the celestial spell, it only means that our understanding of the water-type celestial spell isn't enough!"
At this moment of life and death, Wei Fengxing recalled the conversation in the depths of his memory.
Even now, Wei Fengxing still didn't know what the drawback of the 'Bubble Cage' was! He only knew that the 'Natal True Water' in his body was being controlled by a mysterious power, and it was doing things that he didn't want to do.
"Why?"
Wei Fengxing roared at Gu Zheng, who had just escaped from the 'Bubble Cage'.
"Go ask your dead sister and beloved concubine!"
Gu Zheng waved his hand, and the 'Bubble Cage' floated toward Wei Fengxing.
With the 'Natal True Water' in his body controlled, Wei Fengxing couldn't help but channel his Celestial Energy into the 'Bubble Cage'. His body couldn't move at all.
Wei Fengxing's body trembled violently when he saw Gu Zheng was trying to trap him with the 'Bubble Cage' and let him experience the feeling of being crushed inside the 'Bubble Cage'.
"Break!"
Wei Fengxing roared. His body trembled violently, and blood flowed out of his seven orifices. At the cost of injuring his internal organs, he finally broke the connection between him and the 'Bubble Cage'.
"If the King of Hell wants you to die at midnight, he won't let you live until midnight!"
Following Gu Zheng's roar, a jet-black saber light split apart the water flow. While Wei Fengxing was bleeding profusely from his seven apertures, the saber light slashed at his chest.
"Ah!"
Wei Fengxing screamed. Although Gu Zheng's saber ray didn't take his life due to his dodging, the saber ray still landed on his shoulder and took away one of his arms.
Wei Fengxing wasn't in the mood for revenge at all. He only wanted to escape as soon as possible because he knew how powerful the 'Bubble Cage' was.
Indeed, the 'Bubble Cage' was very powerful. Once it took shape, it had both speed and power.
Wei Fengxing was fast, but the 'Bubble Cage' was even faster. After it collided with Wei Fengxing, it immediately wrapped him up.
It was as though their identities had been swapped. Gu Zheng had become the one making hand seals, and Wei Fengxing had become the one trapped in the cage.
"Die!"
Gu Zheng roared as his hand seals changed. Celestial Energy was madly channeled into the 'Bubble Cage' at a much faster speed than when Wei Fengxing was controlling the 'Bubble Cage'.
"Ah!"
Wei Fengxing, who was trapped in the 'Bubble Cage', screamed as blood flowed out of his seven orifices. His entire body instantly exploded into a pool of blood, leaving nothing behind.
"Not bad. This Celestial Technique is very powerful!"
Although he couldn't clean up the battlefield, Gu Zheng was very satisfied with this Celestial Technique.
Originally, Gu Zheng wanted to find an opportunity to get rid of Wei Fengxing. The appearance of the 'Bubble Cage' was just an accident.
Water type Celestial Techniques were Gu Zheng's forte. He had a profound understanding of water type Celestial Techniques. When he was trapped in the 'Bubble Cage', he immediately discovered the fatal flaw of this Celestial Technique. He could use it to restrain the user. Therefore, Wei Fengxing didn't expect this to happen.
Moreover, after leaving the 'Bubble Cage' through the flaw, Gu Zheng gained a new understanding of this Celestial Technique, allowing him to cast it!
However, Gu Zheng's' Bubble Cage 'was different from Wei Fengxing's. He knew where the flaw was and naturally had a way to fill it.
Therefore, even if he couldn't clean up the battlefield, it was still a good thing that he obtained a Celestial Technique.
