Chapter 775 Failed Again

"I can tell you how to defeat the Black Demon Cult Leader." The words of the old man in green robe were like a pebble, stirring up thousands of waves in the hearts of Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong.

"Senior, please speak!" Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong said in unison, their voices full of urgency. The old man nodded slightly and said slowly: "The skills practiced by the Black Demon Cult Master are extremely overbearing, but it also leaves a fatal weakness - his heart cannot withstand any attack of light attribute."

"A light attribute attack?" Gu Jiuchen frowned slightly, "But the Black Demon Cult Leader has been in seclusion all year round. We can't get close to him at all, let alone attack his heart."

"This is the second secret I want to tell you." The old man smiled mysteriously, "In ancient times, there was a magic weapon called the 'Heart of Light', which contained extremely pure power of light. As long as it can be driven into the dark The demon leader’s heart can completely destroy him.”

"Heart of Light?" Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong looked at each other, and a glimmer of hope ignited in their hearts. "I dare to ask, senior, where is this 'Heart of Light' now?"

The old man pointed to the north and said in a deep voice: "The 'Heart of Light' is hidden in the 'ice and snow abyss' in the far north. There are many dangers there, so you must be extremely careful."

"Ice and Snow Abyss..." Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong were shocked. They had heard of this place before. It was said that it was the site of a great battle in ancient times and was full of dangers and unknowns.

"Without further delay, you should leave as soon as possible." After the old man finished speaking, his figure gradually faded and finally disappeared. Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong did not dare to delay. After a brief discussion, they decided to split up. Ye Linglong went to the ice and snow abyss to find the "Heart of Light", while Gu Jiuchen stayed to contain the forces of the Black Demon Leader and buy time for Ye Linglong.

Gu Jiuchen watched Ye Linglong's figure disappear into the sky, his heart filled with worry. He knows the dangers of the ice and snow abyss, and he also knows that finding the "Heart of Light" is not easy, but he understands that this is their only hope.

"Gu Jiuchen, do you think it's safe to hide here?" A cold voice came from behind. Gu Jiuchen turned around suddenly and saw Zhao Wuji leading a group of black demon believers, surrounding him.

"Zhao Wuji, what do you mean?" Gu Jiuchen asked coldly, holding the long sword tightly in his hand.

"What do you mean?" Zhao Wuji sneered, "I have long disliked you, and today is the day you die!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Wuji led the Black Demon Cultists to launch a fierce attack on Gu Jiuchen. Although Gu Jiuchen was powerful, he gradually felt a little powerless when facing enemies several times his own.

At this moment, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in Gu Jiuchen's sight, it was Xuanfeng!

"Xuanfeng, you're here just in time, help me deal with these black demon cultists!" Gu Jiuchen felt happy and shouted quickly.

However, Xuanfeng's next move made Gu Jiuchen feel like he had fallen into an ice cave. Xuanfeng slowly pulled out his long sword, pointed the tip of the sword directly at Gu Jiuchen, and said in a cold tone: "I'm sorry, Gu Jiuchen, I can't help you anymore."

"You...what did you say?" Gu Jiuchen looked at Xuanfeng in disbelief, his eyes full of shock and confusion.

"I have surrendered to the Black Demon Cult Master a long time ago." Xuanfeng said expressionlessly, "Gu Jiuchen, you are too self-righteous. Do you think you can really defeat the Dark Demon Cult Master? You are too naive!"

"Why?" Gu Jiuchen's voice trembled. He couldn't accept this fact. He couldn't accept that the brothers who had fought side by side would betray him.

"Why?" Xuanfeng suddenly laughed wildly, "Because you took everything from me! My status, my honor, and...my woman!"

Xuanfeng's words were like a bolt from the blue, splitting Gu Jiuchen into pieces. Only then did he realize that Xuanfeng had always harbored a grudge against him, and the root of all this was actually because of Ye Linglong...

"Gu Jiuchen, suffer death!" Xuanfeng no longer hesitated, brandishing his long sword and launched a fatal attack on Gu Jiuchen.

Gu Jiuchen's heart sank completely. He knew that he had fallen into a desperate situation...

Xuan Feng's sharp sword energy came with endless hatred. Gu Jiuchen tried his best to resist, but was shocked by the sword energy and retreated repeatedly, with a trace of blood seeping from the corner of his mouth. Seeing this, the Black Demon Cultists rushed forward even more crazily. Their swords, swords and shadows intertwined into a web of death, trapping Gu Jiuchen tightly.

"Gu Jiuchen, you have today too!" Zhao Wuji smiled ferociously, with the joy of revenge shining in his eyes. He waved the long knife in his hand, and streaks of black knife light shot out of the air, hitting Gu Jiuchen's vitals.

Gu Jiuchen tried his best to resist with his sword, but it was difficult for him to fight with two fists, let alone when faced with the siege of such a powerful enemy. Several shocking wounds gradually appeared on his body, and his clothes were dyed red with blood. But he still gritted his teeth and persisted, unwilling to fall. Because he knew that Ye Linglong was still waiting for him, and he couldn't just give up.

"Boom!" With a loud noise, Gu Jiuchen was hit in the chest by Zhao Wuji's palm. He flew backwards and fell heavily into the pile of rocks in the distance. He struggled to stand up, but felt the blood surge in his body, and his vision went black for a while, and finally he passed out weakly.

"Hahaha, Gu Jiuchen, you have today too!" Zhao Wuji looked up to the sky and smiled, his eyes filled with pride.

Just when Zhao Wuji was about to deliver a fatal blow to Gu Jiuchen, a sharp sword energy fell from the sky, instantly splitting the distance between him and Gu Jiuchen.

"Who is it?!" Zhao Wuji's expression changed, and he suddenly looked up, only to see a woman in white clothes standing in the sky, holding a long sword with a faint white light in her hand, it was Ye Linglong.

"Linglong!" Gu Jiuchen, who was in a coma, vaguely heard Ye Linglong's voice, and a glimmer of hope suddenly ignited in his heart.

"You're finally back!" Zhao Wuji said through gritted teeth, "But you're back just in time, so I'll let you two bitches go to hell together today!"

"Only you are worthy?" Ye Linglong snorted coldly, swung the long sword in her hand, and the sword energy struck Zhao Wuji like a violent storm.

Zhao Wuji's expression changed greatly, and he quickly swung his sword to resist, but was forced back by Ye Linglong's sword energy. He was horrified that Ye Linglong's strength was so terrifying!

Ye Linglong ignored Zhao Wuji. She flashed to Gu Jiuchen and helped him up. Seeing Gu Jiuchen covered in blood, she felt heartbroken and quickly took out the elixir and gave it to him.

"Ahem..." Gu Jiuchen slowly opened his eyes and saw Ye Linglong's anxious face. He smiled weakly, "I'm fine..."

"Stop talking, heal your wounds first." Ye Linglong said, helping Gu Jiuchen aside, then turned to face Zhao Wuji and others, with murderous intent in his eyes.

"You all have to pay the price!"

Ye Linglong's beautiful eyes widened, and her anger almost engulfed everyone in front of her, but she knew that the most important thing at this moment was to take Gu Jiuchen away. She lifted up the weak Gu Jiuchen, tapped her toes, and stood up with her sword, leaving a cold warning: "Today's revenge will be avenged in the future!"

Back at Tianxian Sect, Gu Jiuchen was seriously injured, and Ye Linglong was heartbroken when she treated him. The silence spread between the two, suffocatingly heavy.

"Linglong, are we wrong?" Gu Jiuchen's voice was hoarse, revealing a deep sense of powerlessness.

Ye Linglong held his hand tightly and said firmly: "That's right! We are fighting for justice. Even if this road is full of thorns, we will go on!"

Gu Jiuchen smiled bitterly, knowing that Ye Linglong was comforting him. Continuous failures and the loss of magic weapons weighed on their hearts like boulders, preventing them from seeing the dawn of hope.

"But, what else can we do?" Gu Jiuchen murmured to himself, "Without that magic weapon, we simply can't defeat the Dark Lord."

Ye Linglong was silent. Why didn't she know this? But she didn't want to give up, let alone see Gu Jiuchen so depressed.

Suddenly, she remembered something, her eyes lit up, and she said, "Jiuchen, do you remember that mysterious immortal? He said that if we encounter a problem that cannot be solved, we can go to the abyss again."

Gu Jiuchen suddenly looked up. The abyss, that place full of unknowns and dangers, was also the source of their strength. Could it be that there are secrets there that they don't know about?

"You mean..."

"Maybe there are other ways to restrain the Dark Lord in the abyss!" Ye Linglong's eyes ignited with the flame of hope.

Gu Jiuchen took a deep breath and his eyes gradually became firmer, "Okay, let's go to the abyss again!"

He knew that the trip to the abyss was extremely dangerous, but he had no choice. For the sake of justice and the sake of the world, he had to give it a go!

Ye Linglong held his hand tightly, and the two smiled at each other, their eyes full of determination. They believe that even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead, they can work together and ultimately defeat everything!

However, is what awaits them hope or a more terrifying abyss?
