Zuo Zheng gritted his teeth. The corner of his mouth twitched, and then a voice sounded in my ears: "Kid, I truly didn't expect you to have so many tricks. Interesting. If I, Zuo, can't capture you today, I won't have a place to stand in the Earth Immortal Realm!"
I acted as though I hadn't heard him. I coldly watched the mass of deep-sea ghosts circling him, the corners of my lips lifting faintly. Sure enough, Zuo Zheng didn't flee. He charged straight toward me instead. The moment he moved, it was as if he had stirred up a hornet's nest. Countless of the stupider ghosts actually began trying to attack him!
Zuo Zheng had anticipated this situation long ago. He immediately chanted a spell and activated the Funeral Bell. A sudden seaquake instantly blasted one wave of ghosts into oblivion!
But this also stirred up the ferocity of the sea monsters. They kept lunging in to bite him, and quite a few monsters thicker than four or five people joined in as well, frantically trying to tear Zuo Zheng apart!
Zuo Zheng was baffled too. There were indeed plenty of ghost beasts in this sea, but it wasn't the deep sea yet. At most, these sea monsters were only at the Ghost Emperor level. He killed a whole swath with every strike, completely unmoved.
I didn't dare let him get close. When I saw a Ghost Emperor-level sea monster nearby, I hurriedly used the Hidden Gu Ring to control the enormous creature that looked like a dragonfish. This dragonfish was also in the late Ghost Emperor stage. After being struck by the Hidden Gu Ring, it struggled violently for a moment, but was soon brought under control. After swimming around experimentally, it pounced toward Zuo Zheng!
