Chapter 1999
A huge black tower of hundreds of meters is located in the ground. There are layers of black light flashing on it. Runes are constantly lighting up and extinguishing on the tower. If you listen carefully, there seems to be a kind of whispering that makes people addicted.
Around the black tower, countless violent explosions continue to sound. Whether in the sky or underground, fierce battles are going on. As long as you are careless, anyone may die at the hands of the enemy.
But no matter who it is, no one gets close to the black tower. Several demon souls who fought here were also sucked in before they could react. Their life and death are unknown, which made the chasing Elder Huahun stop and retreat immediately. She didn't want to disappear for no reason.
An Elder Huahun, without the restraint of the ghost general, actually dealt with five demon souls by himself, and even had an absolute advantage, making them only defend and have no power to fight back.
The demon souls barely supported themselves and carefully killed the opponent. They did it. A mirror demon with weaker cultivation and several subordinates of the city lord had died at their hands. Of course, they also paid a loss of more than a dozen people.
But at this time, they found that no matter which side, except for a woman who was strictly protected, the weakest was the Huahun side.
But Huahun had a unique painting technique, which was very difficult to kill. There were several times when they forced them into a dead corner and almost killed each other, but the whole person turned into a ray of light and was collected into the painting by other Huahun people, avoiding the crisis.
On the contrary, they did not have such good luck. In such a melee, their losses were obviously greater. Even so, they aroused their ferocity and fought desperately with the other side.
But the gap in strength is not something that can be achieved by desperately fighting. This move made their losses even greater.
Here, Cheng Jie and others were also fighting hard. The two of them were also facing the third and fifth elders, but they could only contain them. It was simply impossible to kill them. Although they were safe and not in danger, they were very worried.
They had never thought of this result before. Even if the Huahun clan had started to break through by force since they left, it would be impossible to break through the defense of the palace city at this time. Even the king didn’t know how the other party came out, otherwise he would not have taken precautions.
But everything is a mystery. They can only pray that the king of heaven will come out quickly, otherwise they really have no confidence.
While the demon souls above are fighting, the situation of the demon souls below is not optimistic. Under their attack, they have shrunk into a defensive formation. The most dangerous to them is the people of Gufeng. They have been fighting for many years and are very familiar with the demon souls. They have weapons to restrain them. Almost 70% of the damage was killed by Gufeng, which shows how powerful Gufeng is.
The battle between the two sides is very fierce. No one escapes and no one surrenders. If the battle is to end, only one side can fall down completely.
The only variable is the black tower next to it. Can Wen Tianhou, who is locked up inside, get out carefully? The key person for the other side to get out is Gu Zheng, who is avoiding Xiaoying's pursuit not far away.
Gu Zheng is maintaining the operation of the black tower while avoiding Xiaoying's pursuit. The whole person keeps circling around. He has been careful. In just half a day, there are still many wounds all over his body. There are even a few times that if he hadn't dodged quickly, he would have lost control of the black tower.
Wen Tianhou seemed to be pulled in, but everything was not that simple, and he had to control it with all his heart.
With only half of the black tower, without Gu Zheng's assistance in the early stage, Wen Tianhou could not be dragged into the core. During this period, he had no time to fight, and even the five rings' own defense could not be activated, nor could he leave a certain range of the black tower, so he could only move carefully.
However, after getting used to Xiaoying's attack method, he also relaxed. After all, Gu Zheng could still speed up his escape and did not fight her head-on. More importantly, Xiaoying at this time did not know what order Wen Tianhou gave her. Not only did he chase Gu Zheng all the time, but his moves did not change much. He used the same moves over and over again, and seemed to move carefully. Later, after he got used to it, Xiaoying's threat to her was greatly reduced.
To be honest, seeing Xiaoying looking at him like a murderer of her father, he felt very sad, but he also knew that if Xiaoying knew what he was like, he would probably let himself kill her and would not be someone else's puppet.
Three days had passed. He finally helped Heita pull Wen Tianhou into the core area. The rest was out of his control, and Wen Tianhou would start his final struggle. As the other party said, Gu Zheng was not sure he could kill him, and there was a high chance that he would escape. What he had to do now was to weaken his strength as much as possible.
He was already seriously injured, and as long as he was weakened to a certain extent, they could kill him with so many people, not to mention the Shura clan's backhand, which the other party had not shown, probably for Wen Tianhou.
Gu Zheng, who was finally free, turned his head and rushed directly to Xiaoying. At this moment, he freed his hands and prepared to kill Xiaoying.
"Bang"
Xiaoying, who didn't know how to dodge, was shaken by Gu Zheng a few times, and then a flaw was revealed. Gu Zheng immediately printed a palm on her abdomen.
But when Gu Zheng was surprised, he did not show any mercy in his blow, just like hitting a hard stone, which made his wrist hurt. On the other hand, Xiaoying, who flew out, had no damage on her body, and was not hurt at all.
After getting up from a distance, he flew towards Gu Zheng again, and two balls of green flames gushed out from the left and right, but were dispersed by Gu Zheng's punch.
With a flick of his body, he dodged the opponent's reckless swing. He appeared behind the opponent, raised the Yunhuang Sword in his hand, and looked carefully at Xiaoying's back.
"Sir, what is this thing? It's so beautiful? A flower? It turns out that there are so many kinds of flowers. I'm so happy."
"Sir, don't worry. Leave it to me this time. I will definitely help you settle it."
Countless memories came up, making Gu Zheng's wrist tremble slightly, but he never cut it down. He still had a glimmer of fantasy in his heart, praying that Xiaoying would recover.
After such a moment of shock, Xiaoying's body had turned around. The innocent smile on her face was now destroyed by a slightly ferocious face. The weapon in her hand was carefully smashed from Gu Zheng's body. Countless green lights appeared around her, forming dense vines in the air and entwined with Gu Zheng.
But even Zhuhun was not Gu Zheng's opponent now, not to mention Xiaoying who reacted too slowly. Before the vines surrounded him, he had already left through the gap.
Under the flashing golden light, a sword light had already cut Xiaoying's neck.
"Clang"
A huge and crisp sound resounded in the air. Gu Zheng stood in the air, looking at Xiaoying who was knocked away by him. He was a little cautious and carefully examined the weapon in his hand. There was no problem. Then he looked over. Xiaoying, who was knocked away from a distance, rushed towards this side again. There was only a shallow white mark at the place where she attacked just now, and her defense was not broken at all.
This surprising defense was beyond his understanding. Even a silver ghost general could not be so unscathed.
This is the fact. When Gu Zheng flashed behind Xiaoying again and attacked several times in a row, he suddenly found that he really couldn't hurt the other party. The other party was like a hard magic weapon, making it impossible to start.
Gu Zheng, who didn't believe in evil, grabbed the other party directly and wanted to suppress the other party with his strength. He also found that the other party was not affected at all. There seemed to be a wonderful power in his body, expelling his power.
This time Gu Zheng had no way out. The other party's state was obviously wrong at this time. It seemed to have entered a special situation. There was no such situation in the previous fight. Perhaps this was the reason why the other party was a little stiff.
But it was okay. At least Xiaoying's eyes were always following him. At this time, he could easily avoid the other party's attack. While pulling her outside to wander around, he paid attention to the black tower and the situation outside.
The battle above was still going on, but at least one-third of the people on the demon soul side were lost. They were basically weak. The more they went on, the more difficult it was. If they wanted to kill the other party completely, it would be impossible without ten days or half a month. This was still based on the situation that the other party did not escape.
The battle below was also the same. It was progressing much faster than above. The people of Gufeng were too powerful. In a day at most, the demon souls below would be completely wiped out. I wonder if Wen Tianhou would regret his previous decision to bring these tribesmen here, but let the other party's life be killed. I'm afraid he didn't expect this.
A day passed in a flash, and things were just as Gu Zheng expected. All the demon souls below had been completely wiped out. The remaining members of the Soul Alliance and the people of Gufeng simply cleaned up and stood in the distance, repairing and treating while looking up, waiting for the end of the battle above.
At this moment, they were exhausted, and the rest of the things were unnecessary and they could not get involved.
The Shura clan next to them, under the leadership of Mr. Feng, retreated directly and began to strengthen the defense near the formation to avoid being destroyed by Wen Tianhou. They had thought of this problem at the beginning, and there was a trace of the ancestor's thoughts in it. As long as they controlled it, it would be difficult to break it.
"Bang bang"
At this moment, the black tower suddenly shook violently, and the sky and the earth also shook suddenly. The sound of drums was heard, which shook everyone's figures and carefully moved from the distance to the place where the black tower was.
Soon, as the black tower shook, the vibration in the air carefully moved from, as if something was about to come out from there, which made both sides disperse and gather together, and the Huahun clan also gathered nearby and did not intersect with this side.
Because everyone understands that no matter which side wins, it depends on Wen Tianhou.
"It's coming out, this is bad." City Lord Liu looked at the distance, and then looked at the enemies who were still as many as himself, and said with a headache.
"Whatever means you have, use it quickly, it will be too late when the other party comes out." Ruochen was not polite and said to Elder Jin and the others.
In fact, if they hadn't said that there was a way to stop Wen Tianhou, they would not have fought to the death with the other party at first, after all, they had no means to deal with the other party.
"Don't be impatient, wait until the other party comes out. If the other party dares to come out even though he has been seriously injured, he is really looking for death." Elder Jin said confidently.
"I am so tired. After this time, I will definitely apply for a rest for thousands of years." Shui Ling said on the side, with a slightly tired look on her face.
In this life-and-death battle, everyone is on the edge of a knife. If they fall down carelessly, they will have to be careful. Even the Shura elders who are used to seeing life and death feel extremely thrilling.
"What difference does it make whether you apply or not? I'm afraid you will even miss these days in the future." Mu Xuan said with a chuckle.
Don't look at him as harmless and easy to bully. The number of demon souls who died in his hands is the highest among their crowd.
"Haha, that's right." Shui Ling laughed.
The atmosphere here was obviously relaxed at this time, as if they felt that they had almost won.
"The other party is so confident, I'm afraid they don't know how powerful Wen Tianhou is. This world has already been marked by him. Do you want to remind them?"
Huahun's mood was not high at all. After all, two elders with weaker strength had already died, and three of the accompanying mirror demon clan had also died. With such a huge loss, each of them was like a sister, so how could they be happy? However, seeing the situation over there, the fifth elder still said to the second elder next to him.
"No, if the other party can deal with Wen Tianhou, then we will be relaxed and will not have to take the risk to try." The second elder looked back and saw the first elder over there, holding a small stone tablet in his palm, and was carefully following. There was nothing strange about it, but it should be their killer move.
"Okay, let's just watch from the side." The fifth elder nodded, stepped aside and continued to watch the black tower that was shaking more and more violently.
Even Xiaoying, who was chasing Gu Zheng over there, also returned to carefully follow at this time, looking like she was waiting.
"Gu Zheng, Gu Zheng!"
Gu Zheng knew that the black tower could no longer trap Wen Tianhou. He had tried his best to weaken Wen Tianhou. Even if he was the main body of the black tower, he could not completely kill the other party with his current strength. He was about to return to the crowd when he suddenly heard a faint shout in his ear. He looked in the direction of the sound and found a familiar figure waving at him in a small hole below.
It was Huaying, the clever little ghost, and he didn't know what he was carefully following.
While Wen Tianhou still had some time to come out, Gu Zheng went downstairs and said to Hua Ying, who was alone, "Why are you here? Where are the others?"
"The others are behind us. The elders didn't let us come up, saying it was dangerous. I sneaked up to see what was happening ahead." Hua Ying said in a low voice.
"What a joke. How could you have such an idea? Many of your elders died ahead. If you go up, you'll commit suicide. Go back." Gu Zheng's face turned serious and he said immediately.
"The elders are dead too. Is this true?" Hua Ying looked at Gu Zheng anxiously, with tears gathering in her eyes.
"Yes, but there are only a few. Don't be sad. The other party is for the future of the Huahun clan." Gu Zheng didn't expect Hua Ying to react so much, and he comforted her quickly.
"I know how there can be no sacrifices in fighting the enemy. Our Huahun clan is never afraid of sacrifices." Hua Ying held back her tears and said with some sobs.
"There are things going on over there. Stay away from them and don't be affected." Seeing this, Gu Zheng gave another order and was about to leave.
"Wait, Gu Zheng, don't you still owe me a condition?" Huaying directly grabbed Gu Zheng's palm, and after seeing Gu Zheng nod, she continued, "Because Sister Mengzhen's body is infected, several elders want to lock up Mengzhen, which is the kind of restriction of personal freedom. I beg you to take Sister Mengzhen out when you leave."
"Why do you want to lock her up here?" Gu Zheng asked in confusion. He knew the situation of Mengzhen, but there was no better way. He was also preparing for the Shura clan, but he never had time.
"Because on the way, I overheard the elders' words, and I believe that Wen Tianhou will definitely be driven away. At that time, we can leave here and live outside. However, in order for the other party to track us, if Sister Mengzhen can't get rid of the traces on her body, she will definitely lose her freedom. It's my condition, and it's also my pleading with you, don't let Sister Mengzhen suffer." Huaying looked at Gu Zheng and said pleadingly.
"I didn't expect you to be so confident in me, but I can promise you, I understand what you mean, once I find a way to remove the things on her body, Meng Zhen can come back, right?" Gu Zheng didn't think much and agreed.
"Yes, Sister Meng Zhen knows how to find us, thank you!" Huaying said seriously, and then quickly retreated to the back without waiting for Gu Zheng to say anything.
Gu Zheng looked at the other party's back, then shook his head. Since he promised the other party, he would talk to Meng Zhen, and immediately flew back.
At this time, the movement of the black tower became more and more intense, the tower's body was shaking, and the surrounding ground was shaking continuously. After seeing Gu Zheng coming, Elder Jin breathed a sigh of relief. He thought something had happened to the other party just now.
"The other party is about to come out. Can you control where the other party appears?"
Elder Jin did not blame Gu Zheng for not completely imprisoning the other party. The strength was there, and it was enough to buy them so much time.
At least now the opponent's masters are not enough to affect them, no matter what they do, it is very convenient, not to mention that Wen Tianhou will be more seriously injured if he goes in, so it will be more convenient for me to deal with them.
"Okay, what do you need me to do!" Gu Zheng nodded directly.
"In the open space over there, when the opponent appears, he will see the consequences of daring to come out." Elder Jin also said excitedly.
Not to mention him, even the other elders were the same. It was obvious that their trump card seemed to be able to deal with the other party.
"No problem, if nothing goes wrong, there is still half a cup of tea, do whatever you want."
The place where Elder Jin pointed was a large open space, far away from this side, but closer to the demon soul over there. Obviously, he had other ideas. Gu Zheng directly gave them a definite time, and then stood aside, watching the other party's methods, wondering if it was what he thought in his mind.
Two blood lights appeared from Elder Jin's hand, and then turned into two blood-colored long sword phantoms, quietly hanging in the sky, and no threat could be felt from the outside.
But everyone except the Shura clan knew that since it was the other party's trump card, it was very likely the method of the person behind the other party.
For a moment, everyone stopped talking and waited quietly for Wen Tianhou to appear.
