The divine sense light spot was broken down, causing Sora Aoi to be temporarily in a sluggish state. Although this state lasted for a short time, when he woke up, the Sword Qi of the Dragon Knight was already very close to his neck.
Sora Aoi hurriedly dodged, but it was still too late for him to retreat. The broad Sword Qi of the broadsword still swept past his shoulder, so much so that there was a big wound that exposed his flesh.
Moreover, because the Sword Qi contained the so-called 'divine' energy, it made Sora Aoi feel as if the wound was burning. It was impossible to stop the bleeding with just a thought.
Sora Aoi was injured, and the Sword Qi attack launched by the Dragon Knight was even more fierce. She wanted to force Sora Aoi to have no time to heal his injuries, and then kill him.
"Damn it!"
After a few more moves with the Dragon Knight, Sora Aoi felt that he could not drag it on like this. Facing this tricky enemy, he had to make a choice.
"Ha!"
Sora Aoi shouted, and his momentum soared in an instant. His whole person seemed to have become stronger, and the clothes on the surface of his body were torn, revealing slightly exaggerated muscles.
Sora Aoi preferred to fight with his fists and feet rather than using the sword. The Dragon Knight's difficulty made Sora Aoi appear in this rare state.
"Whoosh!"
Sora Aoi threw a punch at the Dragon Knight, and the vigorous immortal power turned into the shape of a small hill.
"Good, let's see how long you can last in this state!"
The Dragon Knight laughed wildly. She, who had given up using the broadsword, also threw a punch at Sora Aoi.
The energy diagram of the Dragon Knight's punch flashed with golden light, and like a meteor, it hit Sora Aoi's mountain heavily.
"Bang, bang, bang, bang …"
The sound of explosions continued. Whether it was Sora Aoi or the Dragon Knight, they did not just simply throw a punch and a kick. In just a few seconds, they had used their fists and feet more than a hundred times.
The white immortal power and the golden energy kept colliding in the air, and the two people who used them finally fought in close quarters.
"How do you feel?"
The Dragon Knight laughed. Her fists and feet were not as good as Sora Aoi's. After Sora Aoi got close to her, she had been suppressed. Although the situation seemed to be unfavorable to her, and she had been forced to retreat by Sora Aoi, Sora Aoi's situation was even worse. His shoulder, which could not be healed, was still bleeding, and even his face had become very pale because of excessive blood loss.
"How do you feel? It feels great! "
Sora Aoi's eyes flashed with a touch of pleasure. When he was in an advantageous position, he suddenly flew away and pushed with his palms to mobilize the energy of heaven and earth to obstruct the Dragon Knight's actions.
The Dragon Knight frowned, and the world energy that bound him instantly disintegrated. He looked back with some doubt, and suddenly screamed in fright.
"No!"
For the first time, the Dragon Knight felt fear. Demon Slayer, who had been suspended in the air, was now in a state of expansion.
After Sora gave up using his sword, his Demon Slaughtering Sword had been suspended in the air. In the process of close combat, he had been forcing the Dragon Knight in the direction of the Demon Slaughtering Sword.
The Dragon Knight was not unprepared for the sword hanging behind him, but there was no fluctuation on the sword. Even Sora Aoi did not use the flying sword, which made him not take the flying sword too seriously.
But at this moment, the Dragon Knight was truly afraid because the Demon Slaughtering Sword was about to explode!
How powerful was the power of a high-grade immortal weapon that could explode? This had been demonstrated in the Blood Tide Forbidden Area. At that time, the Corpse Devil Ancestor had relied on a high-grade immortal weapon to self-explode to escape from the siege of many immortal cultivators.
Not all immortal weapons could self-explode, but the Demon Slaughtering Sword was one of them. Moreover, it would brew for a short time before the explosion, so there would be no fluctuation at all.
No matter how scared the Dragon Knight was, the Demon Slaughtering Sword still exploded before he could escape far away.
Amidst the earth-shaking noise, the golden light on the Dragon Knight's body shone brightly.
The originally powerful golden light was destroyed by the shock wave generated by the Demon Slaughtering Sword's explosion. The Dragon Knight screamed and was also sent flying by the shock wave.
"Ao!"
The Golden Dragon, who only had one head left, also screamed. He, whose strength was only at the level of an Earth Beast, exploded into a large bloody mist under the attack of the shock wave.
"You, you …"
The shock wave subsided. The Dragon Knight, who was still alive, struggled to stand up, but he was seriously injured and could not do it for a while.
"You can go to hell!"
Sora Aoi shouted angrily and punched the head of the Dragon Knight, whose eyes were filled with unwillingness, making his head explode like a watermelon.
"Plop!"
Sora Aoi fell to the ground. His injuries were also not light, so he quickly used medicinal pills and immortal power to heal himself.
After a while, Sora Aoi, whose movements were no longer hindered, stood up. After cleaning up the battlefield, he had harvested a lot of good things from the Dragon Knight.
"It will take some time to fully recover. In that case, let's adjust our breathing in this immortal array!"
While talking to himself, Sora Aoi took out the bottle that had inexplicably attracted him before. His eyes were a little confused, and he rubbed the bottle, not knowing what he was thinking.
Time passed, and the immortal arrays were connected one after another, as if they would never end.
In front of them was a world of flames. There were volcanoes erupting magma, and there was also rolling lava flowing on the ground.
Gu Zheng frowned and looked at the Spectacle River. There were still a lot of bubbles coming out, and it did not seem very peaceful.
Indeed, it was not peaceful here!
In this immortal array, Gu Zheng and the others encountered three Devil Cultivators, as well as two other Immortal Cultivators from the Righteous Dao Alliance.
There were treasure chests in the immortal array, and at the same time, there were giant-like monsters from the lava.
There were a total of two treasure chests. After Gu Zheng and the Immortal Cultivators from the Righteous Dao Alliance worked together to deal with the two Devil Cultivators, one treasure chest was distributed to each side.
But just now, when the two Immortal Cultivators from the Righteous Dao Alliance were dealing with a giant monster on the lava river, a big hole suddenly appeared in the lava river. The two Immortal Cultivators of the Void Return Realm couldn't resist the suction force from it at all, and they disappeared without a trace in an instant.
"I have already done a detailed investigation of the immortal array. Those two Immortal Cultivators were not buried in the lava river. The immortal array separated them from us. That is to say, they are now in another immortal array." The Artifact Spirit said.
"The immortal array can separate people?" Gu Zheng asked.
"Of course it can. It doesn't depend on the person. Perhaps you and Miaomiao will be separated as well!"
The Artifact Spirit paused, then continued, "If you really are separated, Lian Yuxin will be better off. After all, she has a formation-breaking weapon. As long as the array isn't too powerful, it won't be a problem for her. But Miaomiao's attainment in immortal arrays isn't enough to deal with the ones here, so you should remind her to be very careful if she really is separated. If she really can't handle it, she should wait in the array until you shut down all the hubs controlling the arrays. "
Gu Zheng nodded and told Miaomiao and Lian Yuxin that the immortal array here could separate people. If they really were separated, they should be extra careful.
As soon as Gu Zheng finished speaking, the rock that the three of them were trapped in suddenly cracked open, and three Immortal Cultivators crawled out of the lava.
The giants were three meters tall, and their bodies were wrapped in burning and dripping flames. Each of them held a long whip made of flames in their hands, and their individual strength was equivalent to that of an early-stage Void Return cultivator.
Whips flashed and immortal arts danced. Just as Gu Zheng and the others were about to kill the Immortal Cultivators, a pitch-black hole appeared next to each of them.
Although the three of them had been on guard, Gu Zheng was the only one who truly escaped being swallowed by the hole. Both Miaomiao and Lian Yuxin had been swallowed up.
Gu Zheng, who was still in the immortal array, was rather angry. He was worried about Miaomiao and Lian Yuxin. Would they be in danger after being separated?
"Die!"
In a bad mood, Gu Zheng vented his anger on the Immortal Cultivators. Brandishing Tang Mo, he quickly killed several Immortal Cultivators.
The reason he'd stayed in the array when the two cultivators were swallowed up was because Lian Yuxin had been injured and needed a moment to recover. Now that the two women were gone, Gu Zheng, who didn't stay in the array, immediately left the immortal array according to the method the artifact spirit told him.
The layout of the entire island was roughly the beach. Beyond the beach was a forest. Beyond the forest was a large area of relatively flat terrain. Beyond the flat terrain was a mountain, and the buildings Gu Zheng had seen before were on the mountain.
When he was with Miaomiao and Lian Yuxin, Gu Zheng had already experienced several immortal arrays, so when he broke out this time, he was already at the foot of the mountain.
In front of him was the path to the mountain, and as far as his eyes could see, there was more than one path up the mountain. On another path up the mountain, Gu Zheng saw a few other people, including Master Yu Feng and Xuan Qizi. However, Master Yu Feng and Xuan Qizi seemed to be separated by an immortal array, and the two of them weren't on the same mountain path.
Gu Zheng began to climb the mountain. There was a treasure chest waiting for him ahead.
It had to be said that this island was really a treasure land. Either there were treasures in the immortal array, or there were treasure chests to be obtained after breaking out of the array.
After several immortal arrays, Gu Zheng now had seven more treasure chests in his chaotic space. Moreover, when he was in the last immortal array, Gu Zheng took the time to look at the contents of the treasure chests. Its value really made him feel that this trip was not in vain.
For Gu Zheng, among all kinds of resources, ingredients were the most useful to him. In the seven gold chests, although he hadn't found any high-grade ingredients, he had already harvested as many as twenty pieces of good-grade ingredients! As for the mid-grade ingredients, there were so many that Gu Zheng didn't have time to carefully count them.
After collecting the treasure chests, he continued to walk forward and there was another immortal array. This was also the usual practice along the way.
The light in front of him alternated between bright and dark, and Gu Zheng appeared in a new immortal array.
The scene was like a square. The ground was neatly paved with blue stones. Not far away, there was a high platform with an altar-like building on it.
There were also other people in this immortal array. Including the newcomer Gu Zheng, there were a total of seven people. Among them, there was a demonic cultivator and a visitor from the West. The other three were rogue cultivators, and there was also a white-haired old man that Gu Zheng didn't recognize. When the island surfaced before, Gu Zheng hadn't seen this person.
The demonic cultivator and the visitor from the West were obviously in an alliance. The two of them stayed below the high platform and looked at Gu Zheng, who had suddenly appeared, with a very complicated expression in their eyes.
Gu Zheng knew the three rogue cultivators. One of them, a man and a woman, were together. They were Zhao Yifeng and Luo Meihua, the pair of Daoist companions.
Some time ago in the secular world, when Gu Zheng was worried about the crisis of the spotted flower, the battle between Zhao Yifeng and Luo Meihua and the Old Monster Death Breath had broken a stalemate.
Previously on the sea surface, Gu Zheng had seen Zhao Yifeng and Luo Meihua. The two of them had come to talk to Gu Zheng and expressed their gratitude to Gu Zheng for saving them last time. They also said that when they first met, because they had just come out of the Untainted Land and were a little immature, they had made a mistake and asked Gu Zheng not to blame them.
As for the other rogue cultivator, she was a female cultivator. When Gu Zheng had opened the Extremely Fragrant Villa, she had eaten at Gu Zheng's place. She had also bickered with Lian Yuxin and bought immortal food from Gu Zheng. Her name was Yuehua.
Gu Zheng was not unfamiliar with Yuehua. Although she had not participated in the battle of Blood Tide Island, she had participated in the Demon-Buster Operation. Although she was still a rogue cultivator, she could be considered a member of the Alliance of the Righteous Sects.
The white-haired old man that Gu Zheng had never seen before was standing on top of the altar. When Gu Zheng appeared, the old man's eyes flashed with contempt. Then, the light on the altar shone brightly, and the white-haired old man disappeared from the space.
As soon as the white-haired old man disappeared, the Devil Cultivators and the visitors from the West immediately scrambled to the high platform and stood on the altar, looking at Gu Zheng warily.
"Sect Leader Gu, save, save me!"
Yuehua was injured. The stone slab under her had been stained red with blood and she looked very weak.
Moreover, the stone slab under her was different from the others. It looked a little evil, as if it was not a stone, but some kind of mollusk. The reason why Yuehua could not get up was that she had been sucked in by it.
"Wait a moment!"
Gu Zheng did not act immediately. This was an immortal array. Anything could happen if he barged in recklessly.
"This immortal array is like a hopscotch. If you step on the right stone slab, it will be fine. But if you step on the wrong stone slab, it will cause trouble."
The weapon spirit's voice sounded. Then she told Gu Zheng how to break the array and how to get to Yuehua's side.
Gu Zheng jumped on the stone slab like a child hopscotch and approached Yuehua.
"Awoo!"
The visitor from the West on the altar was actually a werewolf. He raised his head and let out a wolf's howl.
Following the werewolf's howl, red smoke suddenly rose from the dried blood stains on the floor. Amidst the red smoke, the Aconite Grass, which had a deep relationship with the werewolves, grew.
The Aconite Grass grew in the wind. Naturally, its growth caused damage to the stone slab. In an instant, several restrictions in the array were triggered. The stone slab where the Aconite Grass grew suddenly disappeared, revealing a large underground black hole. Giant golden crabs emerged from the black hole.
The crabs were as big as calves and had shiny golden shells. They looked like they were very resistant to beatings. They walked domineeringly toward Gu Zheng and Yuehua.
The crabs did not move very quickly, but as part of the immortal array, their movements did not trigger any restrictions. However, Gu Zheng and Yuehua still could not move.
Clang!
Gu Zheng swung Tang Mo. The black saber light landed on the crabs, but it only left a shallow mark.
"What astonishing defensive power!"
Tang Mo was now a top-grade immortal tool. The saber light it unleashed was extraordinary. However, it could only leave such a shallow mark on the crabs. This meant that the defensive power of these crabs must be stronger than cultivators at the pinnacle of the Return to Void Pinnacle Stage.
"Strong defensive power doesn't necessarily mean that they're powerful. The weakness of these puppets is their abdomen. Others might have a hard time dealing with them, but it'll be quite easy for you," the artifact spirit giggled.
Gu Zheng squatted down and saw that there was indeed a shimmering light formation on the crabs' abdomen. There was even a red gem embedded in it. The immortal array had restrictions on divine sense, so Gu Zheng had no choice but to use this method to observe. If there were no restrictions on divine sense, dealing with these crabs would definitely be a piece of cake. In addition, almost all of the immortal arrays Gu Zheng had been through had restrictions on divine sense.
Whoosh!
Yuehua also seemed to know where the crabs' weakness was. She endured the pain and summoned a silver needle-shaped immortal tool. It pierced toward the red dot on the formation on the crabs' abdomen.
Seeing that the silver needle was about to pierce the red dot, the crabs squatted down. The silver needle was sucked into the crabs' legs and could no longer move.
"Oh!"
Unwilling to give up, Yuehua released another burst of immortal power. She wanted to attack the red dot on the crabs' abdomen again.
It was no wonder that Yuehua was so desperate. The crabs she was attacking were not far from her. If she was caught by those huge pincers, she would probably be cut in half at the waist even if she was a cultivator at the Return to Void Final Stage.
Faced with the immortal power, the crabs opened their mouths and swallowed the immortal power released by Yuehua. They really did not know where to start.
"Even if I die, I don't want to be cut in half at the waist!"
Yuehua smiled bitterly. She stretched out her hand, as if she was about to use some forbidden technique.
"Fellow Daoist Yuehua, don't be rash!" Gu Zheng hurriedly said.
At this moment, Gu Zheng seemed to be at a loss, but he was actually thinking about what the artifact spirit said. He was thinking about why the artifact spirit said it would be easier for him to deal with the crabs.
Yuehua's bitter smile made Gu Zheng anxious, but it also gave him a flash of inspiration.
"That's right. Although the Metal Manipulation Art is only at the intermediate level, it has the same attribute as the crabs. It might not be resisted by the crabs."
With an idea in mind, Gu Zheng immediately released a wisp of the Metal Force.
A wisp of golden aura flew toward the crabs closest to Yuehua like a spirit snake.
In the face of the Metal Force, the crabs did not open their mouths to swallow it like they did with immortal power, nor did they absorb it like they did with the silver needles.
Without any resistance, the Metal Force arrived at the crabs' abdomen.
