Chapter 104: The Dark Shadow Under the Lamp Gets You, and the Guys at Zhuoguang Peak Will Be Angry...
"Junior Brother, these guys are not living people!"
Gu Congxing swung his sword and cut off the enemy's head, and sure enough, he saw other defeated black shadows struggling to get up.
These guys are clearly already a bunch of corpses, how can they still move like this?!
Corpse...corpse puppet? !
The scene of fighting against the blood butterfly in the demon realm suddenly flashed through his mind, and Gu Congxing already understood!
It turns out that the corpse Gu was used again!
The blood butterfly is dead, but the one who can still use such evil magic, could it be someone from the Ji family who is of the same origin as him?
"Brother, be careful!"
Zhong Ming rushed to him in two steps, with vines all over his body like a deep dark green pond, rushing towards the corpse puppet!
The dragon blood vine, as agile as a living thing, suddenly wrapped around their limbs, and the black cloth covering their faces was also stripped off. Sure enough, they were all dead!
At this moment, a short, sharp whistle suddenly sounded not far away, and the surrounding ground trembled slightly. It turned out that nearly ten corpse puppets had surrounded this place!
Gu Congxing held his sword across his chest, and when he looked up, his eyes caught sight of the whistling figure hidden in the shadows.
He stood back to back with Zhong Ming and whispered, "Junior Brother, this is the art of corpse poisoning. It can manipulate the dead to fight. As long as we eliminate the whistleblower first, they will fall on their own!"
"I understand, senior brother." Zhong Ming glanced around and nodded slightly.
If I tear all these corpses into pieces, I can break the deadlock, but I can't be so cruel in front of my senior brother.
"roar--!"
The corpse puppet, no longer concealing its identity, let out a muffled beast roar and pounced forward in a distorted posture!
The two were confronting each other head-on, but suddenly they heard a strange whistle behind them, which echoed with the original whistle and made all the corpse puppets go crazy!
Gu Congxing's eyes turned cold, and he immediately said, "I'll deal with the one behind, and I'll leave the one in front to you!"
Before Zhong Ming could respond, he raised his sword high, and the spiritual power in his body surged like broken gold.
"Illusion Sword Infinite Art - Kill!!"
With a swing of his long arms, twenty golden blades condensed in the air stabbed down with a loud bang, causing all the corpse puppets to let out sharp roars, and some were even pierced directly through the soles of their feet, and their bodies were fixed upright on the ground!
Gu Congxing was like a ghost, rapidly approaching the whistleblower in the smoke and dust!
“?!! Holy shit!”
By the time the whistleblower noticed, Gu Congxing had already swung his sword and stabbed it straight into his chest!
"Grass!"
He cursed angrily and immediately stepped back, but was still attacked on the shoulder!
But at this moment, his spiritual power suddenly surged, and a transfer barrier was opened behind him!
"! Where are you escaping to!"
How could Gu Congxing let him escape? He immediately jumped up and attacked again!
However, the speed of the formation suddenly increased several times, and the spiritual light surged, actually dragging the whistleblower and Gu Congxing into it!
“Senior Brother——!”
Zhong Ming immediately flew up, but he could only let the silver-white hem of the dress pass through his fingertips!
"No! Senior Brother!!"
The formation was completely closed, and the whistleblower and Gu Congxing disappeared without a trace.
Zhong Ming stood there alone, with nothing but emptiness before him. He fell into silence, as if wanting to merge with the darkness.
The corpse puppets around him gathered again and surrounded him.
“Heh, heh heh…”
Zhong Ming actually lowered his head and let out strange laughter, which echoed in the empty and dark alley, appearing more eerie and crazy.
The whistleblower's fingers trembled and he blew the wrong note.
He was just about to leave now, but a dark brown vine suddenly shot out from behind him and pierced straight into his leg!
“Ahhhhhh!!”
Zhong Ming heard his scream and slowly raised his head.
His face had been stripped of its disguise, returning to its original appearance as the Demon Lord. His ferocious gaze was like that of a beast ready to devour its prey.
"I'm going to tear you all to pieces!"
***
The scene appeared in my field of vision again, and I found myself in a desolate wilderness.
Gu Congxing's expression remained calm. With a glance, he caught sight of the figure that was about to escape.
The Whale-Slaying Sword suddenly flew out and pierced the whistleblower's feet, penetrating several inches into the ground.
The man immediately fell to the ground, and before he could get up, he heard a cold voice coming from behind him.
"Tell me, who ordered you here? Where is the Jade Cloth?"
Gu Congxing stood behind him and asked slowly and calmly.
“I, I…”
The man wanted to speak tremblingly, but at this moment his eyes rolled back and blood suddenly gushed out of his mouth and nose.
Gu Congxing stepped forward immediately, but the man was already dead.
It is a curse branded in the soul.
This method is so similar to that used by Jiang Luo, the traitor in the Jiang family at that time!
"It's really him..." Xuanyuan Chu!
Just as Gu Congxing was about to stand up, the tip of his ear suddenly moved, and a golden light immediately rushed towards the shadow of the tree behind him!
"Who is here?!"
The sound, so subtle that it was almost inaudible, immediately disappeared, and a moment later, a white shadow appeared.
"Gu Congxing?"
The man who came had white hair and silver eyes, and a pure expression. Who else could it be but Lin Ya?
"Lin Ya?! Why are you here?" Gu Congxing asked immediately.
Lin Ya moved closer and said, "Of course I'm here to help Your Excellency!"
Gu Congxing was silent for a moment and put the Whale-Slaying Sword back into its sheath.
"...Really? Then do you know where he is now?"
"Yes! Just follow me!"
Lin Ya immediately agreed, turned around and walked forward.
Gu Congxing's eyes turned slightly and he followed him.
The wild forest ahead became increasingly dense and gloomy. Gu Congxing stopped after walking less than a hundred steps.
Lin Ya noticed that the person behind him had not caught up, so he turned around and asked, "Are you tired after walking such a short distance?"
Gu Congxing stood under the trees and looked at him calmly.
He placed his right hand on the hilt of the sword, his silver robe and black hair fluttered in the wind, and his dark eyes flashed like cold stars.
"Rinya, I have to say, in terms of acting alone, you are indeed quite good. Unfortunately, I have fallen into this trap twice, and there is no way I will fall into it again."
Lin Ya tilted his head, looking puzzled.
"I don't understand what you are saying."
Gu Congxing sneered, then suddenly drew his sword and swung it at him with a fierce sword intent!
Lin Ya's eyes suddenly widened. The sword intent caught him off guard and had clearly hit him but was dissolved by an invisible force. He immediately summoned a long whip and swung it to split the sword intent!
"You...!" Lin Ya's eyes immediately turned into vertical pupils, and the devilish aura was revealed all over his body!
Gu Congxing watched his movements and grinned, "It seems that you are already wearing the Golden Jade Clothes. The evidence is here, do you still want to pretend?"
Lin Ya looked at him silently, and the original childish expression on her face gradually disappeared with the wind.
There was a fierce light in his eyes and he asked in a deep voice.
"How did you find out?"
Gu Congxing held the Whale-Slaying Sword in his hand, silently estimating the difference in their cultivation levels in his mind, but his expression remained quite relaxed.
"I was accidentally caught in the remnant's transfer formation. Since he was fleeing, wouldn't it be normal for him to have companions at his destination? And you appearing here is truly a coincidence."
Lin Ya's eyes grew colder, and Gu Congxing continued:
"Furthermore, Junior Brother and I have been almost inseparable these days, and I have never seen him contact his subordinates. Furthermore, he deliberately disguised himself to hide his whereabouts. How could he have allowed you to come and meet him?"
"If he doesn't tell me, how can you know his whereabouts? ...Unless you are the spy who revealed his whereabouts."
Besides, he and his junior fellow apprentice were chased just one day after they appeared. No matter how he thought about it, it must have been a setup.
Gu Congxing clenched the Whale-Slaying Sword and pointed the tip of the sword at Lin Ya.
"The last thing I knew for sure was that you led me in the opposite direction of the Demon Castle. Rinya, there were already too many flaws from the moment you appeared."
The silver-eyed boy was silent for a moment, then he grinned, his sharp fangs reflecting a cold light.
"You have some brains."
Gu Congxing's spiritual power surged throughout his body, and his voice was as cold as ice:
"I didn't initially suspect you. After all, you're the son of the previous Demon Lord. If you were a spy, you'd be too conspicuous. I didn't expect you to be so blind."
"Lin Ya, you colluded with Xuanyuan Chu and lurked beside Zhong Ming. What exactly do you intend to do?!"
The devil's aura surged, revealing its devil horns and sharp claws, and its hidden near-godhood cultivation was instantly revealed!
The long whip in his hand suddenly changed. Upon closer inspection, it was not a long whip at all, but the tendon of a magic dragon!
"They are indeed the disciples of that old man. It's hard to hate them one by one or two."
It seems that this evil dragon really holds a grudge against his master who sealed him!
Lin Ya's white hair moved without wind, and in the blink of an eye he pounced towards Gu Congxing!
"To avenge my father's tragic death! To reclaim the position of Demon Lord! To wipe out all of you damned people from Zhuoguang Peak!"
His voice was like a roar, almost crazy!
"You all must die!"
Gu Congxing frowned slightly and immediately blocked Zhanjing in front of him!
“Zheng——!”
The spirit sword and the tendon whip collided, the magic power and the spiritual breath collided, and a violent buzzing sound erupted in an instant!
Gu Congxing supported Zhanjing with both hands, and cold sweat gradually appeared on his forehead.
He was at the peak of the Out-of-Body Stage, and his cultivation level was close to the Spiritual Transformation Stage, which was a whole realm higher than his own!
The power of this demon dragon is even stronger than he thought!
"boom--!"
The barrier of the Whale-Slaying Sword was suddenly broken, and Gu Congxing had to fly back several feet!
A surging demonic aura rushed towards him, and he felt as if he had been hit hard, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
"Humph, you're not even at the Out-of-Body Stage yet you can actually take my move."
Lin Ya held the weapon in his hand and walked towards him step by step.
"This long whip is the tendon of my father. I have endured humiliation and hardship until now, all thanks to your kind master who has sealed and suppressed it for more than ten years."
He smiled with curved lips, and there was a cold light in his silver vertical pupils.
"Gu Congxing... I clearly remember that you were dead before, how come you were resurrected?"
Gu Congxing wiped the blood from his jaw without saying a word.
There was a golden light flashing in his eyes, and he raised his sword high in an instant!
"Illusion Sword Infinite Art - Kill!"
The golden blades lurking in the dark clouds suddenly fell down, all heading straight for Rin Ya!
"Humph, resisting stubbornly!"
Lin Ya swung the blood-veined whip upwards, and his wrist circled, forming a circular barrier of demonic energy that blocked all the sharp blades!
Gu Congxing had already spotted the moment when he couldn't move, and swung down the Whale-Slaying Sword without hesitation!
“Liuyun·Wuxiang——!”
A powerful blow that condensed all the spiritual power, with the power to shake the mountains and the sea, struck directly at Lin Ya's heart!
The silver vertical pupils suddenly shrank, and the devil's aura had been pierced by the pure sword force!
"boom--!"
The bushes were uprooted and smoke and dust were flying everywhere, but Gu Congxing was still concentrating his attention and sensing his surroundings.
There's no sound... Did it hit?
But at this moment, a dark shadow suddenly appeared behind him!
"Varied--?!"
Gu Congxing's hair stood on end. Just as he was about to turn around, he was pressed to the ground by the neck!
Lin Ya has actually transformed into the appearance of an adult man, with a cold light in his silver vertical pupils, revealing complete excitement and brutality!
He raised the corners of his lips high, his voice extremely excited.
"I never thought I would be forced to fight back with all my strength by you—you're only at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, yet you're actually able to fight me, who's almost at the Divine Transformation stage?"
“Cough, cough cough!!”
Gu Congxing had his throat pinched by him, and he coughed rapidly.
Lin Ya looked at his angry and pale appearance, and actually leaned down a little more, scratching the blood on his jaw with her sharp nails.
"We demons have always valued strength and never suppressed our desires."
"I originally thought that Zhong Ming treated you like this simply because you were his senior brother. Now that I think about it, it seems that the old man likes you quite a bit as well."
Gu Congxing's heart sank suddenly.
Linya's face was pressed above him, and there was uncontrollable excitement in his voice.
"If I get you, those guys at Zhuoguang Peak...will probably go crazy, right?"
