Gu Sheng hurriedly moved Primordial Saint Body to protect his body, and at the same time shot out a golden fist, which collided with Zhao Honglie's fist.
"Bang!" The moment the two fists collided, Gu Sheng felt a huge force coming from him, making him take a few steps back involuntarily.
But Zhao Honglie stood motionless, with a sarcastic smile on his face, "Gu Sheng, is this all you have?"
Gu Sheng did not answer him, but took a deep breath, urged Grass Vine Demonic Soul, and launched a more violent attack on Zhao Honglie.
I saw grass and vines rushing towards Zhao Honglie like giant dragons, trying to restrain him.
But Holy Demon Body on Zhao Honglie seemed to have endless magic power, shattering the grass and vines one by one.
Gu Sheng's heart sank when he saw this. He knew that continuing like this was not the answer. He had to find a way to crack Holy Demon Body of Zhao Honglie.
So he took a deep breath, merged the three techniques of Gale Nine Swords, Shadow Concealment Art and Carefree Immortal Step, and launched the most powerful attack!
"Whoosh!" A golden sword light flashed, and Zhao Honglie felt his eyes light up. Then he saw Gu Sheng appeared in front of him, stabbing his heart with a sword!
The speed of this sword was so fast that he could not dodge it!
"Pfft!" Seven-Colored Jade Maiden Sword directly pierced Zhao Honglie's chest, and blood spurted out, dyeing the entire sky red.
Zhao Honglie looked at the sword wound on his chest in disbelief, and then slowly fell down.
At this moment, his Holy Demon Body seemed to have lost all its magic power and became extremely fragile.
When Gu Sheng saw this, he immediately pulled out Seven-Colored Jade Maiden Sword, stepped on Zhao Honglie's chest, and said coldly, "You lose!"
With the fall of Zhao Honglie, the crisis in Gu Wan City was also lifted.
The residents in the city cheered, knowing that it was Gu Sheng who saved them!
At this moment, Gu Sheng also breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at the smoke in the sky and knew in his heart that although this battle was difficult, he won in the end!
The war situation seemed to be decided, but changes suddenly occurred at this moment!
Zhao Honglie, who was originally lying on the ground, suddenly opened his eyes and shot out two sharp cold lights. The eyes were like sharp swords, pointing directly at Gu Sheng's heart.
With a "swish" sound, he jumped up at incredible speed and instantly grabbed Gu Sheng's ankle.
"Ah!" Gu Sheng exclaimed, feeling a huge force coming from Zhao Honglie's palm. His whole body was spinning, and then he was thrown heavily to the ground.
Zhao Honglie didn't give Gu Sheng any chance to breathe. He quickly got up and punched Gu Sheng hard on the head. There was a loud "bang", and Gu Sheng was hit hard on the head. He only had time to turn his head slightly to avoid it, but he was still hit hard. My head felt dizzy, my vision went dark, and Gu Sheng lost consciousness...
When Gu Sheng woke up again, he found that he was tightly tied to a huge stone pillar with thick iron chains and could not move. He had a splitting headache and blurred vision, but what frightened him even more was that Zhao Honglie's ferocious face was so close at hand.
"Hahaha! Gu Sheng, do you think you have won? It's ridiculous! Let me tell you, I'm not dead yet!" Zhao Honglie smiled ferociously, as if he already had a chance to win. He walked up to Gu Sheng step by step, stretched out his palm, and pressed hard on Gu Sheng's Dantian, "Now, let you see what true despair is!"
As Zhao Honglie pressed his palm, Gu Sheng felt as if the spiritual power in his body was being continuously sucked away by a huge suction force. He was horrified, but found that he was unable to resist, and could only watch the loss of spiritual power. This feeling made him feel unprecedented fear and despair... Was he really going to die here?
"Hahaha!" Zhao Honglie's laughter became even more rampant, "Gu Sheng, what about your Primordial Saint Body? In front of my Holy Demon Body, you are just an ant!"
Gu Sheng's heart was full of unwillingness and anger. He struggled desperately, but the iron chains restrained him tightly. However, at this critical moment, a clear and firm female voice sounded in Gu Sheng's ears:
"Gu Sheng, hold on! I'm here to save you!"
Then, with a "swish" sound, a bright sword light cut through the sky and slashed at Zhao Honglie's arm at an incredible speed.
"Ah!" Zhao Honglie screamed, his arm was cut off instantly, and blood spurted out. He took several steps back before regaining his balance, his eyes filled with horror and disbelief.
Gu Sheng saw the face of the visitor clearly, it was the Linghu Qingwan that he had been thinking about! She held a sword that shone with colorful light - Dugu Nine Swords, and looked at Zhao Honglie coldly. "Do you think you won? Let me tell you, the battle is not over yet!"
Zhao Honglie Although he lost his arm, he still resisted tenaciously. He activated the magic power in his body, and the black mist vision emerged. A pair of black wings stretched out from his back, covered with black scales, shining with a cold light.
"Hahaha! Linghu Qingwan, do you think you can save him? You will all die here today!" Zhao Honglie smiled ferociously, and in a flash, he turned into a black shadow and rushed towards Linghu Qingwan.
Linghu Qingwan's body moved and turned into a colorful stream of light to greet him. Dugu Nine Swords seemed to be alive in her hands. The lights of swords and shadows were myriad, and each sword contained powerful power. That is the unique power of the Earth-grade mid-rank treasure, and it is now being exerted to the extreme in the hands of Linghu Qingwan.
"Clang, Clang, Clang!" The sword light and the black mist collided with each other, creating dazzling sparks. The entire battlefield was shrouded in this powerful energy, as if it might collapse at any time.
Gu Sheng looked at this scene, and his heart was filled with shock and admiration. He knew that victory in this battle was close at hand...
"Ah!" Suddenly, Zhao Honglie let out a scream, and his chest was pierced by Dugu Nine Swords, and blood spurted out. He staggered back a few steps, with a look of horror and unwillingness on his face.
Linghu Qingwan didn't give him any chance to breathe, and rushed towards Zhao Honglie again in a flash. "Swish, swish, swish!" Several rays of sword light flashed by, and the black scales on Zhao Honglie's body were peeled off one by one, revealing the flesh and blood inside.
"No! This is impossible!" Zhao Honglie shouted in horror, but to no avail. Dugu Nine Swords's power was so powerful that every flash of sword light made him feel Array Core terrified. He finally understood that he was no match for Linghu Qingwan...
"Bang!" The last loud noise came, and Zhao Honglie fell heavily to the ground and never moved again. Linghu Qingwan also put away Dugu Nine Swords and turned towards Gu Sheng.
"Are you okay?" she asked with concern.
Gu Sheng shook his head. "I'm fine... Thank you for saving me."
Linghu Qingwan smiled slightly, "We are friends! Besides, you have helped me many times!" As she said this, she reached out and untied the chains on Gu Sheng, "Now let's celebrate the victory together!"
Just as the two were about to leave, a loud "rumbling" sound suddenly came, and the entire ground trembled. A powerful aura fell from the sky and enveloped the entire battlefield.
"Hahaha! Want to leave? It's not that easy!" A sinister voice echoed in the air, making people shudder. Zhao Honglie actually stood up again, and his momentum was even stronger than before!
"What's going on?" Gu Sheng asked in shock, "Isn't he already dead?"
"I don't know... but it looks like he's not dead yet..." Linghu Qingwan said with a frown, "We have to be careful."
Zhao Honglie's body gradually floated into the air, and the black mist around him became thicker, as if it was about to swallow up the entire world. "Do you think you can defeat me like this? You are so naive!" He said with a ferocious smile, "Now let me show you my true power!"
As he spoke, he clasped his hands and recited the incantation. The sound of "buzzing" kept sounding, and the surrounding air became distorted. Immediately afterwards, "rumbling" thunder came, and black lightning fell from the sky and struck Gu Sheng and Linghu Qingwan!
"Be careful!" Linghu Qingwan shouted and pulled Gu Sheng to quickly avoid the lightning attack. "We must find a way to break his magic!"
Gu Sheng nodded. "I'll give it a try!"
As he spoke, he activated the spiritual power in his body and prepared to launch an attack.
"Swish, swish, swish!" Several golden sword energy flew out of his hand, slashing towards Zhao Honglie!
Zhao Honglie laughed contemptuously and waved his hand to disperse all the sword energy.
"Hahaha! Is this all you have?" he said mockingly, "Let me show you my true strength!"
As he spoke, he flashed and turned into a black shadow and rushed towards the two of them!
The speed is so fast that it's jaw-dropping!
"No!" Linghu Qingwan exclaimed, pulling Gu Sheng back quickly, "We must join forces to defeat him!"
Zhao Honglie was so fast that he caught up in the blink of an eye!
With a "swish" sound, he stretched out his palm and grabbed Linghu Qingwan's neck!
Just when he was about to succeed, a loud "Bang!" came!
I saw Gu Sheng blocking in front of Linghu Qingwan and receiving the palm with his body!
"Poof!" Gu Sheng vomited blood, flew out, and fell heavily to the ground!
"Gu Sheng!" Linghu Qingwan exclaimed and quickly ran over to help him up. "Are you okay?" she asked with concern.
"I'm fine..." Gu Sheng struggled to stand up and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, "We can't let him continue to be arrogant!"
As he spoke, he activated the spiritual power in his body and prepared to attack again!
At this moment, "Swish, swish, swish!" Several sounds broke through the air!
I saw a few slender vines emerging from the ground and quickly wrapped around Zhao Honglie's legs!
"Ah!" Zhao Honglie exclaimed and was dragged to the ground by the vines!
"What's going on?" He struggled, trying to get rid of the shackles of the vines, but to no avail!
These vines seemed to be alive, getting tighter and tighter, making him unable to move!
"Hahaha!" Gu Sheng laughed, "Do you think you are the only one who can use magic? Try my Grass Vine Demonic Soul!"
It turns out that these vines were transformed by Grass Vine Demonic Soul from Gu Sheng. They can corrode everything they touch, including Holy Demon Body from Zhao Honglie!
"Ah! No!" Zhao Honglie shouted in horror, but it was of no avail. He could only watch his body being gradually corroded by the vines.
"Bang!" The last loud noise came, and Zhao Honglie's body was completely swallowed by the vines and disappeared.
The entire battlefield returned to calm again.
"Whoosh——" A Dao Body shadow crossed the sky and landed steadily in a mansion in Gu Wan City. Gu Sheng, this former neighbor, now a strong man, finally returned to his long-lost hometown.
"Uncle Asheng!" Gu Wan greeted him in surprise, his eyes full of admiration and gratitude, "You are finally back!"
Gu Sheng looked at Gu Wan with a smile. He knew how much hardship this young man had gone through to get to where he is today. "Well, I'm back. It looks like you've improved in cultivation."
Gu Wan smiled modestly, "It was all due to Uncle Asheng's guidance at the beginning, otherwise I wouldn't have achieved what I have today."
At this time, Gu Daniu and Li Xiaolian also heard the sound and came over. They looked at the extraordinary man in front of them, and their hearts were filled with gratitude and respect.
"Ah Sheng, you're finally back!" Li Xiaolian held Gu Sheng's hand, tears welling up in his eyes with excitement, "You must have suffered a lot outside these years, right?"
"Sister-in-law, I'm fine." Gu Sheng comforted, "It's up to you, how have you been these past years?"
"Okay, very good!" Gu Daniu said, "Since you arranged this new home for us, our life has become much more stable. Wan'er is also very impressive, and his cultivation level has improved very quickly."
Speaking of this, Gu Daniu couldn't help but sigh, "A Sheng, you are really a great benefactor to our family!"
"Brother Daniu, you are too polite." Gu Sheng waved his hand, "You took good care of me when I was a kid. These are all things I should do."
Everyone walked towards the house as they talked, and a sumptuous banquet was already prepared in the living room. Gu Daniu frequently toasted Gu Sheng to express his admiration for this former neighbor and today's strong man.
"Ah Sheng, let me toast you! Thank you for your great kindness to our family!" Gu Daniu said excitedly as he picked up the wine glass.
"Uncle Daniel, you are too polite." Gu Sheng smiled and replied, "We are all a family and we should help each other."
During the dinner, Li Xiaolian also kept asking Gu Sheng about his experiences and knowledge outside. She is full of curiosity and yearning for the changes over the years.
"A Sheng, tell us about the outside world." Li Xiaolian looked at Gu Sheng expectantly, "We have been staying here all these years and know nothing about the outside world."
Gu Sheng nodded and began to tell about his adventures outside. He told how he fought against powerful enemies, how he went through all kinds of hardships to find cultivation resources, and how he broke through on the verge of life and death... His story moved everyone present.
Gu Wan listened quietly to Gu Sheng's story, with a firm light shining in his eyes. He knew that although his cultivation had reached the ninth level of the Marrow Refining Realm, and although he had the Earth-grade mid-rank mysterious weapon and could barely fight against Zhao Honglie, he still seemed so insignificant in front of the real strong ones. He longed to become stronger!
After the dinner, Gu Sheng chatted with the Gu Wan family for a long time before saying goodbye.
"Whoosh——" A Dao Body shadow crossed the sky and landed steadily in the Royal Garden. Gu Sheng, the former Crimson Cloud Continent genius, now a strong man who has returned from training abroad, received a separate invitation from Empress Yun Zishuang.
