'This is the only chance to kill the old man. Let's see if he will use his last two Life-Saving Jade Talismans at the same time. Will their power be astonishingly great?' Gu Zheng thought as he lay in the pit.
Gu Zheng felt that the old man was not that extravagant to use two Life-Saving Jade Talismans at the same time! If he only used one Life-Saving Jade Talisman, as long as the power of this Life-Saving Jade Talisman was not greater than the one he had just received, then the old man should be the one to die. On the contrary, he would be the one to die.
While Gu Zheng was thinking, the old man was also thinking about whether his formidable opponent had died.
However, everything happened in an instant. Gu Zheng, who had decided to fight, immediately flew out of the deep pit. The old man, who had been on guard, also immediately used a Life-Saving Jade Talisman.
The shadow of the Thousand Corpse Fiend appeared. He waved his hand and slapped downward, just like how Gu Zheng had slapped the old man before. However, it was different from when Gu Zheng had slapped the old man. The Thousand Corpse Fiend's slap produced a huge black palm print, which slapped toward Gu Zheng's head with supreme pressure.
Gu Zheng was delighted. Judging from the momentum, the Thousand Corpse Fiend's attack was not more powerful than the previous one. This was what Gu Zheng wanted to see.
"Roar!"
Gu Zheng let out a roar that did not sound like a human's voice. Faced with this unavoidable slap, he gathered all his strength in his fist and swung it toward the incoming slap.
"Bang!"
With a deafening sound, a shockwave-like effect was produced. Gu Zheng's transformation disappeared from this collision. However, the moment he returned to his true form, a bright light flew from his hand toward the old man. In his transformed state, Gu Zheng could not use immortal techniques or immortal weapons. Therefore, he could only use his immortal weapons at the moment his transformation ended.
Ol 'Amos narrowed his eyes. Gu Zheng's transformation had been broken. It was very likely that he had died under the residual power of that palm strike! In the face of an attack launched by a dying man, he hesitated for a moment. After all, he only had one Life-saving Jade Talisman left, and the body he occupied had the strength of a Late-stage Almighty Immortal. Therefore, he planned to use his own strength to resist Gu Zheng's final attack.
However, that was only the old man's thought when he saw the light. His mind was filled with fear as he sensed the aura of death coming from the light.
Without any hesitation, the old man used his last life-saving jade talisman. Unfortunately, it was too late! With a loud bang, the old man was sent flying. His head was smashed like a watermelon. Moreover, the most terrible thing was that the Immortal Artifact that smashed into the old man's head was too domineering. It was to the extent that the old man wasn't able to survive after his head was smashed like a child. He was deader than dead!
The old man was dead. However, at the moment of his death, too many things had happened.
Facing the palm strike that still had some residual power, Gu Zheng could only resist it with his own body. Several layers of protection formed by himself or his immortal weapons collapsed almost instantly under the residual power of the palm strike. However, with these layers of protection and the previous transformation, there wasn't much residual power left in the palm strike. When it hit Gu Zheng's body, it was fully absorbed by the ball of immortal power in his body. It didn't hurt him at all.
However, not being hurt at all didn't mean that Gu Zheng was fine! Previously, the destruction of the Celestial Realm had already injured him. Activating the immortal weapon that had killed the old man had made his Qi and blood surge. He felt that his immortal power couldn't be raised. However, at this moment, the power of the last life-saving jade talisman that the old man had used before his death also showed its power.
The palm strike of the phantom of the Demon of Thousand Corpses transformed into a huge black phoenix. It flew toward Gu Zheng at the speed of lightning.
"Bang!"
The black phoenix had just taken off when the light that Gu Zheng had used to kill the old man hit the black phoenix on its own. It was the top-grade immortal weapon, the Flipping Sky Seal, at the cost of the weapon spirit's deep sleep!
Although the black phoenix was hit by the Flipping Sky Seal, it didn't dissipate. It still flew toward Gu Zheng. However, because of the obstruction of the Flipping Sky Seal, Gu Zheng had a chance to escape. He transformed into a jade-colored flowing light and shook off the black phoenix at an extremely fast speed.
Gu Zheng could transform into a jade-colored flowing light and increase his speed in a short time. He relied on the top-grade immortal weapon, the jade shuttle, that he had obtained before. This immortal weapon didn't have any special magic power. It was considered a useful tool for escaping.
As Gu Zheng flew, the black phoenix followed behind him. The Flipping Sky Seal also flew up.
The increase in speed of the jade shuttle only lasted for a moment. It was impossible to use it to completely get rid of the black phoenix's fatal crisis. However, Gu Zheng only needed some time to calm the surging Qi and blood in his body to the point where he could use the Flipping Sky Seal again.
As an extraordinary top-grade immortal weapon with a weapon spirit, the Flipping Sky Seal was undoubtedly domineering. Otherwise, it wouldn't have smashed the old man's head. On the surface, smashing the old man's head didn't seem to be a powerful magic power. After all, Jiang Tiancheng had also smashed the child's head with a sneak attack. However, the difference between these two head-smashing attacks was like heaven and earth!
The child was ambushed when he was unprepared. When he sensed the danger, the dragon-shaped immortal power had almost touched his head. Therefore, even though he immediately activated the life-saving jade talisman, he was still a little too slow.
The old man was different. He sensed the danger a little earlier than the child! Although there was only a little difference, the reason why the life-saving jade talisman was called the life-saving jade talisman was not only because it contained the power of a mighty figure's attack, but also because it could provide an invisible external protection to the user after it was activated! Although this invisible external protection only existed for a short period of time, it was, after all, a protection from a Sage-to-be. It was not easy to break through it.
Comparing the two, the final result was that although Jiang Tiancheng had smashed the child's head, the child did not die. On the other hand, the Flipping Sky Seal directly killed the old man after destroying the protection of the life-saving jade talisman.
It was also because of the domineering nature of the Flipping Sky Seal that it required a lot of physical conditions to activate it. Gu Zheng could not activate it at all when his Qi and blood were surging.
However, without the interference of a greater danger, and with only the black phoenix chasing after him, the surging Qi and blood in Gu Zheng's body were soon calmed down.
Gu Zheng, who suddenly turned around, frowned. With a flick of his sleeve, the Flipping Sky Seal, which was following the black phoenix on its own, suddenly sped up and smashed heavily on the black phoenix's body.
Being controlled by its master to launch an attack was completely different from attacking on its own! Although the Flipping Sky Seal already had a device spirit, this device spirit could only be regarded as a spiritual body and could not be compared with the high-level device spirit of Gokusen. Therefore, the power of its independent attack was much weaker than that of an attack controlled by its master.
"Bang!"
An earth-shattering sound was heard. The black phoenix was hit by the Flipping Sky Seal and exploded into a black fog that filled the sky. Due to the power of the Flipping Sky Seal, the black fog, which was originally raging, lost its ability to wreak havoc and disappeared into the air in an instant.
Now that the crisis had been resolved, Gu Zheng immediately flew back to the vicinity of the hill.
Seeing Gu Zheng return safely, Lu Piaoxiang, who had used the Immortal Concealment Pill to hide himself, also appeared in the air.
"Fellow Taoist Bai, are you all right?" Lu Piaoxiang transmitted his voice happily.
"I'm fine. Let's see how Ying Fei and Lang Feng are doing first!" Gu Zheng said with a smile.
"Hurry up! You two quickly enter the hill. The two of us can still hold on for a while!"
Seeing that Gu Zheng and Lu Piaoxiang were about to fly over, Ying Fei transmitted his voice to them.
Since Ying Fei had said so, Gu Zheng and Lu Piaoxiang directly flew into the hill.
The interior of the hill was very similar to the interior of the hill formed by the corpse turtle. After passing through the slanting passageway, they arrived at the square space where the inheritor was.
At this moment, the inheritor was still receiving the inheritance with his eyes closed in the barrier. He, who had obtained a lot of good fortune, did not encounter any problems in the process of receiving the inheritance because of the departure of the old man.
"Damn it!"
After exploring the blood-red barrier, Gu Zheng also understood its strength. If he wanted to destroy this blood-red barrier, even if his body was unharmed, he would have to smash the Flipping Sky Seal two or three times.
"Fellow Taoist Bai, there is no need to be anxious. I have a way to break this barrier. It was set up with the power of our ancestor's bloodline." Lu Piaoxiang transmitted her voice to Gu Zheng.
Lu Piaoxiang bit the tip of his tongue and spat out a mouthful of blood on the barrier. After changing his hand seals, the blood actually seeped into the barrier.
After about four or five breaths of time, a crisp sound was heard. Fine cracks appeared on the originally unbreakable barrier until it completely shattered.
The moment the barrier shattered, the demonic cultivator, who seemed to have no reaction from beginning to end, suddenly spat out a ghost-like black mist towards Lu Piaoxiang.
Lu Piaoxiang was greatly alarmed. Breaking the barrier was not as simple as it seemed on the surface. When the demonic cultivator suddenly attacked her, she was still in the process of finishing her cultivation.
However, although the demonic cultivator's attack was sudden, Gu Zheng's attack was also very fast. Almost at the same time the demonic cultivator spat out the ghost-like black mist, Gu Zheng's' Mad Devil Blade 'had already been slashed out.
Compared to Lu Piaoxiang, Gu Zheng had enough experience with the special state being interrupted. When the barrier began to crack, the demonic cultivator's eyebrows moved a little, but it didn't escape his eyes.
There was a difference in strength between the two sides. Coupled with the fact that the special state was interrupted, the demonic cultivator had already suffered a considerable backlash. Facing Gu Zheng's' Mad Devil Blade 'that easily wiped out the black mist, he simply didn't have much room to resist.
"Bang!"
The demonic cultivator's defense was destroyed by the 'Mad Devil Blade'. In the next second, his cross-legged body fell backwards and was split into pieces.
Lu Piaoxiang gave Gu Zheng a grateful smile and then began to break the barrier on the high platform.
"Is the treasure here?"
Gu Zheng had seen the transmogrified treasure chest inside the Corpse Turtle's body. It was hidden inside the high platform.
"This is the final place of inheritance. There is also a barrier on the high platform. The treasure chest should be here."
Just as Lu Piaoxiang said, this was the final place of inheritance. Therefore, the barrier on the high platform wasn't very complicated and Lu Piaoxiang quickly broke it.
The stone platform was split into two and a dazzling golden treasure chest appeared in front of Gu Zheng and Lu Piaoxiang's eyes.
Although the treasure chest didn't look particularly big, Gu Zheng and Lu Piaoxiang both understood that as the final treasure, there would definitely be several storage belts inside. Therefore, the number of treasures inside couldn't be measured by the size of the treasure chest.
"Fellow Daoist Bai, put away the treasure chest first. Let's go find Uncle Kong and the others!"
The joy of obtaining the final treasure didn't linger on Lu Piaoxiang's face for too long. She was very concerned about Feng Weikong's safety.
"Aren't you afraid that I'll do something to the treasure chest after putting it away?" Gu Zheng asked with a smile.
Lu Piaoxiang glared at Gu Zheng. "I'm not afraid!"
Gu Zheng didn't say anything else. Since Lu Piaoxiang trusted him, it wasn't a good time to waste so he put away the treasure chest first.
When Gu Zheng and Lu Piaoxiang walked out of the hill, a person was flying towards them from the distant horizon. If it wasn't Feng Weikong, who else could it be?
Gu Zheng and the others' battle with Old Man Zombie Spirit didn't last for too long. For Feng Weikong to arrive at this time, his speed was already very fast.
"Uncle Kong!"
Seeing Feng Weikong arrive safely, Lu Piaoxiang happily called out.
"How is it?" Feng Weikong asked.
"Old Man Zombie Spirit is dead. The demonic cultivator who received the inheritance is also dead. We've obtained the final treasure!"
Lu Piaoxiang's voice fell as she looked towards Gu Zheng. Her eyes seemed to be asking for his opinion.
Gu Zheng understood that what happened here wasn't something that could be explained in a few words. Feng Weikong was definitely very curious about it. Lu Piaoxiang's eyes were filled with questions. She definitely wanted to make a Spiritual Sense Jade Slip for Feng Weikong to let him know what happened here.
Gu Zheng nodded towards Lu Piaoxiang, agreeing to let her make a Spiritual Sense Jade Slip. Then he asked Feng Weikong, "How's the situation on your side?"
Feng Weikong could come over, but the two Zombie Spirits didn't. Gu Zheng also urgently wanted to know what happened on Feng Weikong's side.
Feng Weikong didn't say anything. He also made a Spiritual Sense Jade Slip like Lu Piaoxiang.
In a short period of time, two Spiritual Sense Jade Slips that recorded the events of the two places appeared in Feng Weikong and Gu Zheng's hands.
After looking through the Spiritual Sense Jade Slip, Gu Zheng's brows furrowed. The appearance of a Quasi-Sage was of great help to the battle, but it was undeniable that this was also a dangerous signal.
"Brat Bai, hurry up and see if there's a way to leave this place in the treasure chest. Let's leave this place first!" Feng Weikong transmitted a message to Gu Zheng.
With regards to Jiang Tiancheng, no one in the temporary team had a good impression of him. Yun Zhenzi was also Jiang Tiancheng's master. Feng Weikong was also worried that after they cooperated, they would face a hostile counterattack! After all, this wasn't just a conflict of words. This was related to the treasures left behind by a Quasi-Sage!
"It's too late!"
Gu Zheng looked behind Feng Weikong. In the distant horizon, there were two black dots flying towards them. Although he couldn't see the appearance of the black dots clearly, he was sure that there were two people. Since the two of them were traveling together, they definitely weren't Zombie Spirits, but Yun Zhenzi and his disciple.
Since it was too late to leave, Feng Weikong also descended from the sky and landed beside Lang Feng and Ying Fei.
"Take this pill. It's good for your injuries."
Feng Weikong handed a pill to Ying Fei. Ying Fei thanked him and swallowed it.
Ying Fei's injuries weren't light. Both of his wings were gone. Although he could still grow them back with future cultivation, his strength would definitely be greatly weakened.
Lang Feng's injuries were very serious. Burning one's cultivation in a special state was like sacrificing eight thousand to injure the enemy! Moreover, in that state, corpse qi had invaded his body. If Ying Fei hadn't used his inner core to control the corpse qi's corrosion, he would have become a corpse slave long ago.
However, even with the help of Ying Fei's inner core, Lang Feng's situation wasn't optimistic. Currently, he was still unconscious. Only the ball of immortal energy in his body instinctively cooperated with the protection of Ying Fei's inner core. It could be said that once Ying Fei withdrew his inner core, he would definitely die.
"As for this brat, it's not possible to save him. However, this isn't the place and the time isn't right!"
"That's right!"
Feng Weikong shook his head and smiled bitterly. Ying Fei also smiled bitterly in agreement. After all, Gu Zheng had already passed the jade slip to Ying Fei after reading it. Ying Fei also knew what they were about to face.
"Later, as long as Yunzhen Zi doesn't go overboard, you guys shouldn't be too impulsive. Preserving your lives is the most important thing." Feng Weikong reminded everyone.
Gu Zheng's impression of Feng Weikong changed once again after being taught the 'turn a deaf ear'. From his attitude towards Ying Fei and Lang Feng, it wasn't hard to tell that this person was the type who was cold on the outside but warm on the inside. He was quite good to his companions.
The Quasi-Sage had arrived. The first thing he did was to show off his strength. The pressure he released made Gu Zheng and the others feel somewhat suffocated.
"Is it over?"
Yunzhen Zi, who had three strands of hair on his temples and had the demeanor of an immortal, looked at Feng Weikong and asked.
"Senior, it's over. The last corpse spirit has died and the inheritor has been killed."
Feng Weikong's words were polite, but his attitude was neither servile nor overbearing.
Yunzhen Zi didn't know Feng Weikong, but he had seen him at the place of the two corpse spirits.
"Hmph."
Seemingly dissatisfied with Feng Weikong's neither servile nor overbearing attitude, Yunzhen Zi sneered and said, "Brat, do you know your crime?"
"Junior doesn't know. Senior, please enlighten me!" Feng Weikong said.
"Previously, at the place of the two corpse spirits, if you hadn't killed the corpse spirit child, the middle-aged corpse spirit wouldn't have been distracted and see through the light spot. As long as the middle-aged corpse spirit didn't get distracted, the light spot would have been able to consume his life saving jade talisman again. I wouldn't have been trapped in that space for so long! "Yunzhen Zi said.
"As the saying goes, the ignorant are innocent. Junior was only impatient to kill the enemy. I hope senior doesn't blame me!"
Feng Weikong lowered his attitude and bowed towards Yunzhen Zi.
Compared to before, Feng Weikong's heart had calmed down. It seemed like the worst situation wouldn't happen! The fact that Yunzhen Zi said so much to him meant that he didn't have the intention to kill. If he did, with his Quasi-Sage strength, he wouldn't have said anything.
"Hmph!"
Yunzhen Zi sneered and didn't bother about Feng Weikong's previous' mistake '.
"Which one of you has the final treasure? Take it out!"
Yunzhen Zi's dignified gaze swept across everyone.
"Senior, to be able to obtain the final treasure, all of us have paid a huge price. Don't tell me you're going to take the treasure away!"
Hearing that Yunzhen Zi wanted them to take out the treasure, Ying Fei hurriedly spoke up. He had already lost a pair of wings for this treasure.
