Chapter 1963
"The third match is about to begin!"
At the same time, in the fortress, Gu Zheng was already standing below, controlling his cultivation to maintain the initial stage of the Golden Immortal, looking at the opponent in front of him.
I don't know if it was an illusion or something else, Gu Zheng only felt that the other party's eyes looking at him were a little wrong, as if he had a grudge against him, but he didn't care. Even if he wanted to kill him, the other party couldn't do it in public, unless he had reached the last step and tore his face, he couldn't kill him.
It's obviously too early for the situation to change now. If he came now, I'm afraid there would be no competition.
Gu Zheng's opponent was a relatively burly man, but his short body made him look like he had a tendency to develop sideways. His body kept jumping, his eyes were fixed on Gu Zheng, and he kept looking at him.
After the order was given from above, the man roared and took a big step forward, leaving a deep footprint on the ground. At the same time, there was a "crackling" sound from his body. While moving forward, the surface of his body was also shining with crystal light. His height was abruptly raised, and he was actually a head taller than Gu Zheng. He looked like a different person.
The opponent's speed was not fast. Every step he took would tremble three times. The huge force could be felt by the surroundings.
Especially before the opponent took a step, the momentum outside his body condensed a little, turning into a layer of golden light covering his body. In just a few breaths, he crossed most of the distance. The whole body surface was golden, and the arm was the same, and it seemed to have grown several times larger. A huge arm, with an unparalleled momentum, smashed towards Gu Zheng head on.
Gu Zheng understood the opponent's plan when he saw the action. In the previous two games, he was roaming and probing to find opportunities, but he seemed to be not very flexible. He was ready to defeat Gu Zheng with a thunder strike from the beginning. He didn't want to roam with the opponent, but it was exactly what he wanted, allowing the opponent's aura to lock him.
"How arrogant!"
The short man saw that Gu Zheng didn't move, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes. Although the attack fell on the opponent at this time, even if the opponent didn't defend, at most his chest would be stuffy. After all, the opponent's foundation was there, and the attack was a real early stage of the Golden Immortal, but the opponent also lost, because a normal opponent could not withstand this attack.
At this time, the short man had come in front of Gu Zheng, and when his body took the last step forward, he stepped on the ground again, and his body suddenly flew into the air, waving his fist and bombarding Gu Zheng's shoulder.
Gu Zheng knew that this was the time to make a move. He looked at the other party's victorious eyes, narrowed his eyes slightly, and retreated sideways like a ghost, as if he had teleported a little distance, just out of the attack range of the other party's arm.
Then, Gu Zheng raised his body, like a bridge, supported his hands on the ground and suddenly exerted force. His whole body, in such a strange posture, quickly jumped forward and just came under the short man. His eyes could see the astonishment in the other party's eyes through the dazzling golden light. Then he did not hesitate, bent his legs and kicked suddenly.
"Bang"
With a huge impact sound, accompanied by the broken light of the golden light, Gu Zheng's soles came into close contact with the opponent's abdomen.
In just a moment, the seemingly aggressive golden light suddenly dissipated from him, and his figure flew into the air like a loss of control, and directly hit the shield, like a meat pie stuck on it.
The short man was furious. This attack power was like a tickle to him. But when he was about to fight back, he saw that Gu Zheng below had put away his momentum and raised his fist high, as if celebrating, which almost made him explode.
He was about to give the other party a look, but found that the protective shield behind him had disappeared, and the king above had announced Gu Zheng's victory.
Although he was not injured now, he had already lost in that attack.
"That figure was so fast. I didn't see it clearly, and the other party flew up directly. I thought the other party was going to resist and was still sighing, but I didn't expect that he would shake the other party." This was a spectator with a lower cultivation level. Before, he only paid attention to the short man and had not paid attention to Gu Zheng.
"I saw it clearly. The other party's grasp of time and distance was so accurate that there was almost no error. If he was a little slower, he would be disturbed by the strong wind outside the other party's body and lose the opportunity. If he was faster, the other party's power had not been fully released and he could be retracted in time to block the attack." Another person looked at Gu Zheng who was going back and praised him.
Most of them were knowledgeable. Although the battle was short, some people were still discussing the previous one with others at the beginning. They didn't have time to pay attention to the following, and it was over. They were still looking at the following in amazement. When they heard the praise from the side, they hurriedly asked for details, and then they were annoyed that they didn't see such a wonderful side.
"Thank you for your hard work!"
Although Mrs. Xue didn't know much from Pan Xuan, she was full of praise from the other party. The other party was a magical person who was good at creating miracles. It was normal for him to win this kind of battle.
As for the latter, as soon as he came here, he sat aside and dozed off, looking like he didn't pay attention to anything outside. Gu Zheng naturally knew that the other party was controlling the breath in his body, so as not to accidentally burst out his cultivation and cause a huge sensation.
Gu Zheng just smiled, then sat aside and watched the next fourth game.
"How is it? Did you see anything?" On the other side, Lord Bu glanced at this side, and then whispered to Kikyo next to him.
"The opponent is very strong, I may not be his opponent." Kikyo said solemnly.
Even if it was only a short fight, she could see some tricks. If it were her, she could dodge the opponent's attack, but she couldn't take the opportunity to counterattack and eliminate the opponent.
"What about using weapons?" Lord Bu asked back.
"There is a 30% chance."
"Too low." Lord Bu glanced at Kikyo, seemed very disappointed, and stopped talking.
Kikyo bit her lips and said nothing more, because her own cultivation was only the peak of the Golden Immortal. Even if it was reduced to the early stage of the Golden Immortal, the upper limit was relatively low. But she was the only one in the Golden Immortal period and the weakest one.
"I can do it!" Kikyo said confidently beside her.
"It doesn't matter whether you can do it or not. We will arrange for you to be among the top four. However, at that time, the loss will not be under our control. The opponent seems to have some kind of relationship with that woman. If there is a chance, injure the opponent. Don't be afraid of being punished. Everything is worth it." Because of his good relationship with Madam Xue, City Lord Bu actually knew a little bit of information. He could feel it with his intuition.
No one paid attention to their conversation. They were all watching the battle below or talking to the people next to them, as if everyone had something to do. Gu Zheng also paid attention to Pan Xuan at all times to prevent the opponent from losing control and helping him in time.
The opponent forced the breakthrough and had to hide himself, which was a great drain on his mind.
However, there was not much passion in the next game. Almost everyone began to use roaming tactics to win. Even if others fought hard, they would hide if they could. They were not afraid of losing face in order to win, as if to protect the face of the city lord.
After the simple eight games were over, almost a day had passed. After a simple rest, the second round of the game began.
On the huge field below, the shield that originally covered the outside began to shrink back a little, and the field restrictions were smaller. This also meant that if they wanted to delay time by being flexible, there was not enough space. In addition, because everyone had received instructions in the first game, they were basically unarmed, and now they could obviously use ordinary weapons. Although the hits would at most break the skin, there were more tactics.
Piercing your chest and chopping your neck, you can't always launch a quick counterattack. In short, it is much more complicated than before.
The top eight were drawn quickly. Gu Zheng glanced at his opponent, who happened to be his own man. He subconsciously looked over there, and the opponent also looked over here and smiled at him slightly. Needless to say, the meaning was that.
As long as they can fight quickly, they will definitely fight quickly, but the last time they were unlucky and almost didn't get together. This time they finally had a chance. Although they were eliminated, they can solve more time compared to the situation of two wins in three games.
"It's so boring!" Ruochen looked around and shook his head.
"Compared to these battles, it's a bit boring. It's a pity that we have to wait for them to end." Next to her, another city lord, not knowing whether it was the other side or this side, followed suit.
His people were also eliminated in the first round, or the time was up and they were considered to be losers, but he was open-minded. Anyway, he was just killing time to ease their conflicts.
"Yeah, if I knew it would be like this, I would just go back after the mediation. I'd better take a rest." Ruochen agreed out loud, and then lay down a little listlessly, closed his eyes, and began to take a nap.
The latter saw that Ruochen had no intention of speaking, and did not disturb her rest, and began to discuss with another eliminated person.
To be honest, they rarely gathered together like this in recent years. They were all old friends in the past. It felt good to talk to each other about their own things.
And Ruochen's subordinates also sat aside, with their arms close to her, and their eyes looked down with relish.
A faint black mist emerged from Ruochen, and without anyone noticing, it fell into the ground below and disappeared.
At the same time, she was resting on the third floor. With a flash of black array light, Ruochen's figure appeared there again.
"City Lord! They are here!"
The confidant who stayed behind immediately stepped forward and said.
"Take them and follow me!"
At this time, the third floor was empty. It can be said that there was almost no one in this space. However, Ruochen led the people behind him and rushed directly to the place where City Lord Luo lived.
"Who are you!"
There were still some people left behind in City Lord Luo's place. When the group came over, they had already activated the defense array and shouted to the outside.
"Don't worry about them, control them for me."
In the array that had been arranged, they couldn't pass the message. Behind her was the team put together by the city lords. There were hundreds of people. If it weren't for the cover above, most of them went up to watch the excitement, and there would be a lot more.
However, these people were definitely the confidants among the confidants. They had no opinion on the orders of their respective city lords. When they heard Ruochen's order, they rushed directly.
With the help of the city lord who was protecting them, all the weaknesses here were not a problem for them. It was because City Lord Luo did not agree to the other party's protection. The only temporary defense he set up here was not vulnerable at all.
Originally, she did not want to use such a ruthless approach, but when she was up there, she deliberately observed the people Gu Zheng mentioned, and she did feel a trace of the same kind of breath from them. What was deeper than Gu Zheng's perception was that she actually sensed a strange breath of demon soul from City Lord Luo, as if it was a demon soul, but not a demon soul, but no matter what, it must be recent.
Even after special treatment, for their demon souls, that breath could not escape their observation anyway. She believed that City Lord Liu also saw it, and in the previous conversation, he had re-issued his opinion, asking everyone to deal with it with the highest vigilance.
This means that City Lord Luo will be excluded for any reason, and others are prepared for the worst, so she will act in advance.
Originally, she was going to leave in the third stage. At that time, she could make further judgments based on the situation. Now, it was no longer necessary. The inexplicable sense of crisis in her heart told her that Gu Zheng was right. I am afraid that the demon soul's people have already headed this way.
After controlling the city lord Luo, she tied him up and locked him in a house. Ruochen came to a special room.
The whole room was very empty, with only a thick black metal pillar standing in the middle. You can see deep inscriptions engraved on it.
This is the main control center for controlling Leiyin City. If it is not activated, other areas cannot be opened at all. Of course, if all are activated, Leiyin City will be completely transformed into a battle fortress. The movement will be very huge and everyone will know.
More importantly, once activated, no one can shut it down within seven days. It will not shut down automatically after seven days, but will continue. Moreover, as long as it is activated again in the same way, it can be maintained for another seven days. Unless a Daluo peak is determined to die, don't think about stopping.
At that time, there were not enough people, so in order to prevent it from being shut down, it was specially set up like this.
This black pillar looks inconspicuous, but in fact it is just a little exposed outside. Everything is inside the special sealing layer. However, after so many years, its power has declined. The city lord who always maintains it still regretfully tells everyone.
Of course, if it weren't for his timely maintenance, it might not even have one-third of its power.
"The first leader is really great."
Thinking of the undefeated power of Leiyin Fortress, Ruochen's eyes were slightly absent-minded, as if she had returned to the days of passionate struggle. At that time, she was still in the Demon Soul Realm, just an ordinary Demon Soul. In the end, the Demon Soul's army was fully deployed, but in the end it still returned in defeat, which is how the Soul Alliance was established.
Of course, at that time, Wen Tianhou was still fighting with Gu Feng, trying to drive the other party out in one go, but unfortunately he also failed.
Now the strength of the Demon Soul is much stronger than before. Even if the Soul Alliance has grown up, it may not be the opponent of the other party, provided that all the elite are deployed.
Of course, if the Demon Soul had not transported to the other side every once in a while, it might have occupied the Black Prison long ago, but the other side might also be completely finished.
After a moment of distraction, Ruochen still knew what he was doing here. He took out a small black ball and approached the edge of the black column. Wisps of black air escaped from the black column and merged into the black ball.
The originally dim black ball soon became dark and shiny.
This is a temporary pass, and only with this can you completely pass the blockade of the core area over there.
"Master, guard here. Once anyone wants to come in, activate this black column, even me. If there is no enemy, wait for my order, or a huge change will occur, and you can decide for yourself." Putting away the black ball, Ruochen said to a demon soul who was brought in.
"Yes, City Lord!"
This demon soul's mission is naturally a life-and-death struggle. Once the enemy comes here, it means that the outside has begun to be chaotic. What he has to do is to activate the defense, but he also responded without hesitation.
Ruochen patted the other party on the shoulder, and then walked out. A black light flashed at the entrance and disappeared. A simple barrier will help him guard against others' intrusion.
The demon soul that was left behind was standing solemnly beside the black pillar, with one hand directly on the black pillar, staring at the only entrance. Once someone approached this side, he would immediately activate the stone pillar.
After hurriedly coming out from here, Ruochen led the remaining people to another direction, and that was one of the passages to enter the core area. Only from here can you come to the area where other people are pulled over, and there is another very important function behind this area, which is to enter and open the detection array outside, and at the same time raise a huge defense shield outside the fortress.
This area is very important. It can be said that the command center of the entire fortress can control the defense of various organs from here.
This road is not dark because no one comes. Except that both sides have been sealed into walls, it looks no different.
However, when the team approached this side, the speed of the team gradually slowed down until it stopped completely.
In front, a red-haired man stood here alone, blocking their only way.
"Team Blue, I didn't see you up there, and I didn't see you in Lord Luo's house, so I guessed you were here." Ruochen took a step forward, looked at the red-haired man, and said.
"How did you find out? It seems that you have already noticed something wrong."
Team Blue looked at Ruochen, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes, but he still stood where he was.
Since the other party has come here, some things don't need to be said. Although he is not the opponent's opponent, he can buy some time to warn the upper level.
"What a pity, it seems to be true. You know, when you came, I personally recommended you to Lord Luo. I didn't expect..."
Ruochen sighed, then took another step forward. On the edge of his right hand, a black light began to rise.
"Then don't blame me for being rude."
