The Flood Dragon King had actually flown away. Butterfly Spirit's puzzled gaze was replaced by realization. She felt that something must have happened, otherwise, the Flood Dragon King wouldn't have given up when reinforcements arrived.
Butterfly Spirit understood the principle of advancing when the enemy retreated, but Gu Zheng's safety was more important than anything else. She had no choice but to give up on chasing the Flood Dragon King. She even chose to avoid the Demonic Emperor flying towards her!
Although she didn't want to fight, Butterfly Spirit didn't fly further away. She wanted to avoid the Demonic Emperor and check on Butterfly Spirit and the angry man's situation.
At the same time, Gu Zheng, who was in the Mystical Realm, had a pensive expression.
He had used the Path of Death to get rid of thousands of monsters in one go. The shocking scene of them falling from the sky was imprinted in Gu Zheng's mind. At that time, Gu Zheng did not think too much about the shocking scene that was imprinted in his mind. However, when he used the Dao of Death to kill the Mud Spirit, his mind rumbled and he fell into a profound state of enlightenment.
Many things had happened outside, but in the Mystical Realm, Gu Zheng had no concept of time. The scene in his eyes was still the thousands of monster corpses floating in the air.
Gu Zheng looked at the motionless corpses in the air. There was a mess of information in his mind that needed to be sorted out. He had already grasped the key to comprehending the Path and was only one step away from it. As long as he sorted out the messy information, he would be able to leave the Mystical Realm.
Finally, Gu Zheng's furrowed brows relaxed and a smile appeared on his lips. He knew that he couldn't sort out the messy information and what he was missing.
He waved his hand at the floating corpses. Ripples appeared in the air and the corpses began to fall into the swamp below. Streams of death aura that didn't originally exist flew out of the corpses and entered Gu Zheng's mind.
The entry of the death aura caused the messy information to churn and finally become clear. The Mystical Realm also shattered in front of Gu Zheng's eyes.
After Gu Zheng regained consciousness, Butterfly Spirit immediately sensed it. The two of them communicated telepathically and knew what had happened.
"Roar …"
The flying dragon suddenly turned around and roared at the Demon Emperor who was chasing her.
Gu Zheng flew out from the Butterfly Spirit's roar and slashed the Demonic Demon Wild Blade at the Demonic Demon Emperor who was caught off guard.
The Demonic Beast Emperor that was originally very arrogant and was cursing Die Ling immediately panicked. It used demonic arts in a futile attempt to stop the 'Mad Demon Blade'.
However, Gu Zheng's Mad Fiend Saber was a full-powered attack. Not only was his immortal power sufficient, but it also contained the Dao technique of the Five Elements Transformation! Not only did it shatter the Demon Emperor's demonic technique, it even hacked its body into pieces!
"Go!"
Gu Zheng called out to Butterfly Spirit, who had already transformed into her human form, and the two of them flew towards the battlefield.
In terms of time, Gu Zheng didn't take too long to comprehend the dao. When he flew back with Butterfly Spirit, there were still over two thousand demons on the battlefield. A third of them were bewitched by Meow Meow.
Meow Meow and the angry man weren't injured. At their level of cultivation, only beings of the same level could hurt them. It wasn't easy for those with lower cultivation to overwhelm them in numbers. What's more, the demons weren't that strong. They were the type that was stronger than beings of the same level.
"Sir!"
"Master!"
Seeing Gu Zheng fly over, Meow Meow and the angry man couldn't help but be overjoyed.
Some demons who didn't know the difference between life and death tried to stop Gu Zheng, but they were all easily dealt with by him.
After flying to the center of the battlefield, Gu Zheng shouted, "Evil creatures!"
The air rippled with Gu Zheng's shout. All the demons targeted by him trembled. Death aura appeared above their heads as their bodies fell into the mud below.
The chaotic battlefield instantly calmed down. Even the demons bewitched by Meow Meow died. Aside from Gu Zheng's side, there were no other living beings.
Meow Meow and the others all stared with wide eyes. The scene of Gu Zheng using the Dao of Death to kill those revived demons was still fresh in their minds. Now, they were shocked again! And he killed so many normal demons in one fell swoop. Everyone who saw it couldn't help but be shocked!
"Sir, how, how did you do it?" Meow Meow asked with his tongue hanging out.
"In the Mysterious Realm just now, I comprehended the Intermediate Dao of Death."
Understanding that Meow Meow and the others knew little about the Dao of Death, Gu Zheng explained it to them.
If one wanted to use the Elementary Dao of Death to kill a person or a demon, under normal circumstances, one would have to know the name of the person or demon. By calling out their name, one would establish a connection with the Dao of Death and achieve the goal of killing them.
Calling out the person's name to establish a connection with the Dao of Death was a very mysterious thing. It was also one of the disadvantages of the Elementary Dao of Death. If a cultivator was on guard against the Dao of Death and knew that someone was going to use the Dao of Death to take their life, as long as they remained unmoved and unaffected by the name being called out, the Dao of Death wouldn't be able to establish an effective connection, and thus wouldn't be able to use it.
In fact, the Dao of Death wasn't the only Dao of Death to be effective. Some immortal items had such abilities as well, such as Laozi's Purple Gold Red Gourd.
When the Dao of Death was upgraded from the Elementary Dao of Death to the Intermediate Dao of Death, the original disadvantages were greatly reduced. If one wanted to establish a connection with a person or demon that could make the Dao of Death work, one didn't need to call out the person's name. One only needed to say something that could move the person's heart, and the Dao of Death would work! Because of this, Gu Zheng was able to kill thousands of ferocious demons with a single shout.
However, although the Dao of Death was very powerful, under certain circumstances, the consumption of the Power of Tao was also very terrifying. For example, the amount of Power of Tao needed to kill thousands of demons at once might not be as much as the amount of Power of Tao needed to kill a powerful Early Stage Quasi-Saint. In other words, if the Mud Spirit wasn't a special existence that could come back from the dead, not to mention Gu Zheng's Elementary Dao of Death, even the Intermediate Dao of Death wouldn't be able to kill it.
"Mister is mighty, this Intermediate Dao of Death is too powerful!" Meow Meow said.
"It's more than powerful! In the future, as long as the Early Demi-Saint is Master can use the Dao of Death to directly kill them! "
Die Ling looked at Gu Zheng with stars in her eyes, "The Ten Great Saint Immortals all have grasped the Dao of Death, but only Laozi's Dao of Death is Advanced. The rest are all Intermediate! Moreover, the Dao of Death that Master has grasped is already at the same level as the nine Saint Immortals! "
"It's really something to look up to!"
The angry man sighed with emotion. "The scene of master killing thousands of monsters in one go is like an imprint in my mind, and I can't get rid of it. If only I could master the 'Dao of Death' one day!"
"This might be an opportunity! I also comprehended the Dao because the scene was imprinted in my mind. "Gu Zheng patted the angry man's shoulder.
"I don't have the same opportunity as Master. It's mainly because the scene was too shocking. I think Sister Meow Meow and the others are the same."
The angry man's words made Meow Meow and Die Ling nod. The scene from before was still imprinted in their minds, but comprehending the Dao wasn't that easy.
"You're different from Meow Meow and Die Ling. Among your twenty inner cores, there are twelve that haven't awakened any abilities. It's hard to say what abilities they'll awaken in the future!" Gu Zheng said seriously.
Without further delay, Gu Zheng brought Meow Meow and the others to the Wyrm King's palace.
However, before Gu Zheng and the others could fly into the palace, the wounded Wyrm King flew out of the palace, followed by Xiao Qi and the others.
"Junior Brother Gu, don't let him escape!" Ice Fairy shouted from afar.
Gu Zheng didn't expect the Wyrm King to rush back to the palace because Ice Fairy and the others had barged in.
However, Gu Zheng wasn't too surprised to see Ice Fairy and the others. He already knew that it wouldn't be strange to meet any disciple of a Saint Immortal in the Poison Swamp.
Originally, it was not a very attractive place. However, after meeting the disciples of Laozi and Skyreach, Gu Zheng had a feeling that perhaps the reason why these disciples of the Saint Celestial Stage had come to the Poisonous Swamp was all related to him! After all, under normal circumstances, disciples of a Saint Immortal in the early stages wouldn't come here, much less bring a Tribulation Transcendence disciple. The reason Gu Zheng had come to the Poison Swamp was because the materials needed to repair the Star Ruins Mountain were likely to be here.
Gu Zheng had grown up with opportunities along the way, and this made him realize that perhaps his arrival this time would really bring about the appearance of the opportunity that Dao Ancestor Hongjun had mentioned! The other Saint Immortals must have felt this as well, so they sent their disciples here to try their luck.
"Don't worry, he won't be able to escape!"
Gu Zheng responded, and the group flew towards the Wyrm King from several directions.
The Wyrm King had fought a great battle with Ice Fairy and the others before, and now that he was seriously injured, his strength had greatly decreased. The chances of him escaping from the encirclement were extremely slim.
"Junior Brother Gu, we injured the Wyrm King first!"
Seeing that the Wyrm King might be taken down soon, Chen Xi hurriedly declared her sovereignty. However, Gu Zheng didn't care about Chen Xi's declaration of sovereignty!
Chen Xi and the others had come out of the Wyrm King's palace, and Gu Zheng didn't believe that they hadn't seen the battle before. Since they had seen it, they hadn't chosen to help, but had instead wanted to reap the benefits. Now that they had declared their sovereignty, Gu Zheng despised them very much! Moreover, the Wyrm King had the ingredients he had lost, and he couldn't let the Wyrm King fall into the hands of others.
Gu Zheng used the Immortal Domain and sucked the Wyrm King into it.
"Junior Brother Gu, you …" Chen Xi gritted her teeth.
In this situation, there was no need to use the Immortal Domain, and the Wyrm King would definitely die! However, Gu Zheng had actually unleashed the Immortal Domain. In that case, his intentions were clear to everyone. This caused Fairy Chen Xi, who had just declared her sovereignty, to feel extremely embarrassed.
"What's wrong?"
Die Ling frowned, and looked at Chen Xi, who was gritting her teeth, with a wave of displeasure in her heart! Chen Xi and the others had wanted to reap the benefits, and she had naturally thought of this.
"Who are you? How dare you speak to me like this? I'm of the same generation as your master! "Chen Xi raised her chin slightly.
"Sorry, I don't know you. You called my master junior brother, but my master ignored you. Who knows if you're of the same generation as my master!"
Die Ling's voice paused, and she sneered, "Besides, so what if we're of the same generation? What you've done isn't honorable, so there's no need to talk about seniority! "
Die Ling wasn't afraid of these people in front of her, and her words weren't polite at all. So what if they were disciples of a sage immortal? It wasn't like she hadn't threatened them before!
"You …"
"Enough!"
Ice Fairy interrupted Chen Xi's words.
Since she hadn't been able to leave with the benefits earlier, and had been caught red-handed by Gu Zheng and the others, Ice Fairy didn't want to say too much to Gu Zheng's people when it didn't involve benefits. Because of Fairy Fei Yu, her understanding of Gu Zheng was quite good. Therefore, she also knew that when dealing with Gu Zheng, it was best not to use any empty words. Otherwise, it would only be counterproductive.
"Damn it, are all of Gu Zheng's servants so arrogant?"
Chen Xi transmitted to her people. When Die Ling had mocked her just now, Miaomiao and the angry man's expressions clearly showed that they were ready to fight at any time.
"They have the strength to do so!"
The Ice Fairy's tone was not very good. She had already told the Dawn Fairy about Gu Zheng's character, but the Dawn Fairy had ignored the principle of 'like master, like servant'. Who could she blame if she was bullied by Gu Zheng?
"Senior Sister, Gu Zheng took the Wyrm King into the Chaos Space. When he reappears, the Wyrm King will definitely be dead! I'm afraid that Gu Zheng will also hide more than half of the things in his storage belt. When the time comes, what should we do? "Xiao Qi asked.
"I don't feel that Gu Zheng is that kind of person," Ice Fairy said.
"Senior Sister, but what if he is that kind of person?" Xiao Qi asked again.
"We'll talk about it when the time comes. We have to fight for what we have to," Ice Fairy said after some thought.
"That's the only way."
Chen Xi sighed, then said hatefully, "If it weren't for this damned Wyrm King's inner core, Gu Zheng wouldn't have been able to take him into his Chaos Space!"
The Wyrm King's inner core did have the ability to break through Chaos Space, but in terms of effectiveness, it wasn't as fast as a hidden immortal artifact.
The reason why the Flood Dragon King was able to break through the Immortal Realms of the Ice Fairy and the others was because their Immortal Realms were not extremely powerful. In addition, when the Flood Dragon King broke through their Immortal Realms, his strength was not damaged.
However, when the Flood Dragon King wanted to use the same trick to break through Gu Zheng's Immortal Domain, Gu Zheng sealed his inner core and beat him half to death. Then, Gu Zheng placed twelve restrictions on him in a row.
Seeing Gu Zheng and the Wyrm King appear again, Ice Fairy and the others couldn't help but light up.
The Wyrm King didn't have a storage belt on him. He used a super interspatial immortal artifact to store things. Now that the Wyrm King was still alive, it meant that Gu Zheng hadn't checked his super interspatial immortal artifact.
After Gu Zheng appeared, he first glanced at Xiao Qi. When he saw Xiao Qi's calm expression, his gaze didn't linger on Xiao Qi for long.
"A straightforward person doesn't resort to insinuations. I will decide the distribution of the things in the Wyrm King's interspatial immortal artifact!" Gu Zheng said.
"How do you want to distribute it?"
Seeing that Gu Zheng didn't even bother to address them, Chen Xi didn't bother to beat around the bush.
"I think you all should understand that I'm only talking about distribution because of Fairy Fei Yu. If it weren't for Fairy Fei Yu, I wouldn't have given you any of the things in the Wyrm King's interspatial immortal artifact! Therefore, I'm not here to ask for your opinion on how to distribute it. I just want you all to know, so don't say anything! "Gu Zheng said.
"Alright, Junior Brother Gu, you can distribute it however you want!"
Ice Fairy was very wise. Since Gu Zheng said that he was doing it because of Fairy Fei Yu, the distribution wouldn't be too bad. As for Gu Zheng's tough attitude, she felt that it was normal. This was a world where the strong were respected.
"When we were at the periphery of the Poisonous Swamp, the Wyrm King's sworn brother sent all the ingredients that belonged to me to the Wyrm King through the Teleportation Immortal Formation. Therefore, the ingredients in the Wyrm King's interspatial immortal artifact are all mine. As for the other things, we will take seventy percent, and you all will take thirty percent! "Gu Zheng said.
"No problem."
Ice Fairy's answer was very straightforward. Excluding the ingredients, thirty percent was already good enough. After all, if one were to look into this matter, although they had injured the Wyrm King, what they had done was not right. Moreover, the Wyrm King had been captured by Gu Zheng in the end. It would be justifiable if Gu Zheng did not share anything with them.
Gu Zheng raised his hand and prepared to kill the Wyrm King with one palm before taking out his interspatial immortal artifact.
"Wait, I'm going to search the Wyrm King's soul!" Chen Xi said.
"It's useless. The Wyrm King and his sworn brother have the ability to prevent soul searching. His mind is blank."
Although Gu Zheng said that, he still moved to the side. Chen Xi also began to search the Wyrm King's soul.
The Wyrm King had indeed destroyed his own memory. Chen Xi's soul search would naturally not yield any results.
However, although Chen Xi did not show anything on the surface, Gu Zheng knew that she did not believe that the Wyrm King's memory had been destroyed. In this regard, Gu Zheng could not be bothered to explain anything.
After killing the Wyrm King, Gu Zheng took out a boat-shaped interspatial immortal artifact from the Wyrm King's body.
After making the interspatial immortal artifact recognize him as its master, Gu Zheng poured out everything inside. His expression could not help but change.
"Everyone, did you find any ingredients in the Wyrm King's palace? If you did, I'll trade with you. I lost eight of these boxes! "
From the pile of things poured out of the Wyrm King's interspatial immortal artifact, only four of the eight boxes Gu Zheng had lost were left.
"Damn it!"
Seeing Ice Fairy and the others shake their heads, Gu Zheng could not help but curse inwardly. Of the four boxes that he had lost, two of them contained ingredients outside the circle. They accounted for two-thirds of the ingredients he had stored outside the circle. Now that he had lost these ingredients, his original plan to improve his Eye of Dao and cook some food cultivators had to be put on hold.
