Chapter 98: Encountering the Demon and offering his enemy to the Demon Lord—Gu Congxing…
“Swish——”
The sword suddenly struck out, startling the monsters and causing them to roar!
"Big Brother, let's go first!"
Gu Congxing grabbed Lan Jue's hand and immediately flew forward!
"roar!!"
The monsters no longer hid, they tore through the vines and rushed out one after another, shaking the ground!
It was impossible to control the sword in this terrain, so Gu Congxing and Lan Jue did not stop at all and ran forward at full speed!
Damn it, Qiongqi's cry actually attracted its companions, and they came so quickly!
"Cong Xing! What's that in front--?" Lan Jue shouted.
"It's the Shenzhao barrier!" Gu Congxing said in surprise.
The monster Qiongqi's body was as small as a mountain, but it moved as if it had wings. It caught up with the two of them in just a moment!
The ground was shaking more and more violently, and the foul smell of the monster rushed into his nose. Lan Jue's eyes became fierce, and a wave of violent waves suddenly erupted behind him!
“Wow!”
He did not stop, but the wave of spiritual power suddenly attacked Qiongqi, pushing them backwards!
“Big Brother!!”
Gu Congxing grabbed Lan Jue's hand, jumped, and the two of them crashed into the barrier!
The scene before my eyes suddenly changed. There was no longer any forest of towering trees. Instead, the land before my eyes was a wetland covered in mist and hot air. The water and sky met, making it difficult to see the boundary.
In the middle of the vast wetland lies a piece of land, like an island in the middle of a lake. A dazzling sunset glows above it, and only a single peach tree stands tall, its petals fluttering in the wind.
"That... should be where the Qingyang Pure Spirit Amber is." Lan Jue said.
Gu Congxing nodded and said, "The Deep Turtle Swamp is an ancient relic, rich in spiritual energy, almost reaching an independent realm. It is not accessible to ordinary monsters. Once we obtain the magic weapon, we can return to the sect directly."
The two men looked at each other, and both flew to the island on their swords.
The closer they got to the center, the thicker the mist became. Lan Jue's spiritual power moved slightly, dispelling the mist around the two of them.
Landing under the peach tree, Gu Congxing looked around and saw that apart from the tree, there was only a black and smooth cylinder in the corner.
He stared at the pillar, feeling inexplicably that it seemed out of place in the scenery.
Besides, it's too quiet.
Even inside the sacred swamp, it shouldn't be so quiet. It's as if... all things with sound have been swallowed up.
Lan Jue walked around the peach tree, stretched out his hand to sense the treetop for a moment, and frowned slightly.
"Strange, this peach tree doesn't respond to my spiritual power at all. Even if I inject spiritual power into it, it will sink like water."
Upon hearing this, Gu Congxing stepped forward and also released his spiritual power, but he gained nothing.
Lan Jue raised his hand to catch a falling peach petal. Although he looked thoughtful, his expression was still bright.
"Could it be that this island recognizes magic power instead of spiritual power?" He winked at Gu Congxing and said half-jokingly, "It would be great if my junior brother was here. Maybe he could help us obtain the secret treasure."
Gu Congxing also continued: "Speaking of which, Big Brother, are you still in touch with Little Junior Brother?"
Lan Jue looked at the smoke in front of him, his eyes moved slightly, and he shook his head and sighed softly.
"At the beginning, there were still some people who would occasionally use his black snake to communicate with each other. However, in recent years, it has almost disappeared, especially after he openly released the sect's demonic dragon three years ago - wait, what is that?!"
Gu Congxing had just heard the key point and was about to ask, but he saw Lan Jue solemnly drawing his sword!
He immediately summoned the Whale Slayer and looked back—
That dark cylinder was actually wriggling!
It was originally like a stone pillar, but now it was swaying back and forth. At the same time, ripples appeared on the calm water surface, and gradually formed a whirlpool!
“Wow!!”
The surface of the lake was suddenly pierced, and a pitch-black nine-headed giant snake broke out of the water! !
It turns out that the cylinder just now was its head!
At the same time, another loud wave sounded on the water surface behind the two of them, and it turned out to be a strange fish-like beast with wings on its back!
They were all extremely huge, floating in the air, and they actually opened their huge mouths and laughed.
Gu Congxing and Lan Jue stood back to back with swords in hand. He gritted his teeth and stared at the two huge monsters, with cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.
"How could the Demon Lords—Jiuying and Guixu—be here!" He gritted his teeth secretly.
How could the Demon Lord, the most powerful warrior among the demons, whose magic power is only second to that of the Demon Lord, be here!
The Divine Swamp barrier can stop monsters, but it is useless against two demon kings!
Guixu was seriously injured during the Immortal Sect Competition. It would be fine if he had escaped here, but why is Jiuying here too!
Lan Jue clenched the hilt of the sword, a cold light flashing in his eyes.
"Hahahahahaha!! I thought there was more food coming, but I didn't expect there to be a surprise this time!"
Jiuying twisted his giant snake body and let out a shrill laugh.
He turned his head to look across at Guixu, his tongue hissing and wriggling. "Guixu, this place you found is truly a treasure! First, I ate that turtle to help me recover, and now there's another good thing delivered to my doorstep!"
The giant white fish twitched its gills and said in a much colder voice, "They are quite skilled, don't underestimate them."
Jiuying's two heads turned downwards playfully, staring straight at Gu Congxing and Lan Jue.
"Kid, you said this is an island? That really makes me laugh! What's under your feet is the shell of a diving turtle, hahahaha!"
"We've already eaten that guy's limbs and head. Next up—it's your turn!"
The ancient spiritual beast, the turtle...was actually eaten alive?!
Gu Congxing's heart sank suddenly and he shivered all over.
Spiritual power surged around Lan Jue. He faced Jiuying, and the Sword of Forgetfulness made a slight clanging sound.
"Even if you responded, you were all severely injured and fled here!"
He raised his sword high, and violent spiritual waves suddenly burst out from his body!
"Boiling Sea, Surge—!"
As he roared, the surrounding lake water surged violently, stirring up a raging storm and huge waves! With immense spiritual pressure, they roared and pounced on the Demon Lord!
"A mere trick!" Jiuying grinned fiercely, and his nine heads and long body burst out with powerful demonic energy to resist the surging waves!
Guixu suddenly folded its wings, creating a hurricane that rushed straight towards it!
Gu Congxing's eyes turned cold. He clenched his Whale-Slaying Sword and was about to recite the sword technique when he heard Lan Jue's urgent voice: "Congxing, this Divine Swamp is advantageous to me. I will cover you, you quickly evacuate!"
Before he could finish his words, he flew up and pierced Guixu's abdomen and back with the tip of his Wangqing sword!
However, at this moment, Jiuying, who had its back to this place, suddenly turned its head, stared at Lan Jue's back, and flew away like lightning!
"Big Brother!"
Gu Congxing shouted loudly, and the Whale-Slaying Sword flew out like lightning, piercing the snake head directly!
Jiuying let out a scream of pain, but Gu Congxing did not stop at all. He jumped into the air and cut off the snake's head in one fell swoop!
“Ahhhhhhh!! Damn brat—!”
The snake's eyes suddenly turned red, and the remaining eight huge heads attacked him at the same time, as if covering the sky and the earth, leaving him nowhere to hide!
"The Endless Art of the Phantom Sword——"
Gu Congxing did not dodge at all. He raised the sword in his hand high, and a blazing golden light burst out from his eyes!
"kill!!!"
Suddenly, dozens of golden long blades fell like meteors!
The eight-headed giant snake opened its red eyes wide and suddenly scattered in all directions, just to avoid the golden blades in the sky!
On the other side, the ruthless sword had pierced into the shark's fin, cutting off the flesh and skin, and suddenly a pool of blood burst out!
"……whispering sound!"
Guixu immediately turned around to resist, his demonic aura surged, and he actually took on a human form!
The white-haired and fish-eared Demon Lord covered the wound on his side, and with the white-bone coral staff in his hand, the demonic energy surged as he suddenly attacked Lan Jue!
Lan Jue frowned and flew to meet the attack!
The white light on the Forget Love Sword was like a rainbow, and the sharp sword force was like a tidal wave, unstoppable! !
Guixu supported the bone staff with both hands, but the shield of demonic breath was broken layer by layer!
“Crack—”
The last layer of defense was suddenly broken. Guixu wanted to retreat in shock, but was hit by the sword!
"puff!!"
He was bleeding profusely and was thrown straight over!
Lan Jue didn't stop at all, he immediately turned around and rushed towards Gu Congxing!
"From the stars!"
He saw the figure fighting with the eight snake heads, a cold light flashed in his amber eyes, and he immediately raised his sword and slashed at Jiuying!
The snake head with a huge and terrifying mouth biting towards Gu Congxing didn't have time to react before it was cut off by the flashing light of the sword!
Gu Congxing looked at the murderous Lan Jue, his eyes moved, and he raised his lips silently.
This is... the strength of the out-of-body stage!
"Uhhhh! Go to hell!"
The four snake heads suddenly turned, and their venomous fangs pierced Lan Jue!
The Sword of Forgetfulness stood upright in the air, emitting a violent burst of water light!
The ice-blue water light condensed into four long blades and flew towards the snake's head at the same time!
——It is the sword moves that have been comprehended from “The Infinite Art of Fantasy Sword”!
"puff--!!"
The four snake heads fell to the ground, and the remaining snake body instantly gushed out blood!
However, at this moment, the remaining three snake heads, covered in blood and corpses, flew towards him silently!
The fewer the number, the stronger the remaining snake heads will be and the more agile their movements will be!
Gu Congxing saw the swiftly flying snake head and immediately flew up!
“Liuyun Wanxiang!!”
A fierce sword intent suddenly slashed out, and the snake head dodged quickly, but one of its heads was still chopped off and fell to the ground!
Lan Jue had already noticed something was wrong at this moment. He held his sword horizontally in front of him and thrust it out with a flick of his wrist!
However, at this moment, his calm and fierce gaze swept across one place, and his eyes suddenly became bloodshot!
"From the stars, behind—!"
Gu Congxing felt a chill run down his spine, and subconsciously turned around with his sword in hand!
The defeated Demon Lord Guixu had appeared behind him silently!
“Zheng——!”
The Whale-Slaying Sword and the White Bone Staff collided with each other, making a loud noise!
Caught up and didn't let this guy succeed in his sneak attack -
However, at this moment, the corners of Guixu's lips rose silently.
"Oh."
Gu Congxing's heart sank, and he immediately wanted to step back, but he saw the devilish energy surging from the white bone staff, and the air was actually torn apart, revealing endless darkness!
It's a space tear!
And the moment it was revealed, an irresistible strong suction force suddenly burst out. Gu Congxing's spiritual power surged, but he was still drawn into it!
"From the stars—!"
Lan Jue screamed loudly, but Jiuying took advantage of this opportunity to bite his arm fiercely, injecting poison instantly, and his other head quickly ran towards Guixu.
Guixu waved his long staff and stepped into the black space!
At the last moment before the crack closed, Jiuying cut off his long tail and jumped into it with his head!
“Don’t run!!”
Lan Jue gritted his teeth and pounced forward, but only passed through air!
His arms were bruised and his eyes were red!
“From the stars—!!”
Even in the darkness, one could hear the heart-wrenching cry.
Gu Congxing was enveloped in silent and invisible darkness, as if he was sunk into the dark seabed, unable to move, and could only hear vague sounds.
The feeling of suffocation and tightness continued to rise, and breathing became more and more difficult.
But he knew he was moving.
He gritted his teeth and concentrated, forcing his spiritual energy to flow, and his five senses gradually became clear -
"Damn these two guys! If I hadn't wanted to offer them to that adult, I would have eaten them right now!" Jiuying cursed viciously.
"Calm down, this is a once-in-a-million opportunity."
Guixu's voice was quiet but short, clearly showing how badly injured he was. "I've heard for a long time that the Demon Lord particularly hates Gu Congxing and wants to devour him alive, so he's been searching for cultivators who resemble him. Unexpectedly, we've actually run into one this time."
Demon Lord...Junior Brother?
"Hahahaha! This is a godsend!" Jiuying laughed wildly. "The fakes we offered before were all slaughtered by him, right? As long as we offer the real one, there's no need to worry about not being able to return to the Demon Palace!!"
"When I return, I will devour all those damned monks alive!"
Guixu said indifferently, "Don't let yourself be beaten half to death and expelled just after returning."
"Hmph!" Jiuying sneered, "I'm going to take a good look at how this brat dies!"
His voice was leisurely, full of gloating joy.
"The Demon Lord loves to smash his enemies' bones, then tear their limbs apart with dragon blood vines, leaving them to die in excruciating pain and despair—hahahaha! He's so brutal! Coupled with that crazy smile of his, it's truly thrilling!"
As he said this, his cold fingers touched Gu Congxing in the space cocoon.
"Guess how long this guy can hold on?"
Gu Congxing's breathing suddenly stopped.
