After a while, the jade slip shimmered with light, and the weak voice of Gong Xuefeng was heard.
"To the northeast, there are signs."
Quan Yangping dragged his injured body and rushed in the designated direction.
He found Gong Xuefeng in a cave behind a waterfall.
Gong Xuefeng's face was pale, his right arm was twisted unnaturally, and his chest was soaked in blood.
Hearing the movement, he opened his eyes suddenly and relaxed slightly when he saw it was Quan Yangping.
"Senior Brother Gong!"
Quan Yangping fell to his knees.
"Then Gu Sheng is simply not a human being! He is obviously about to die, how could he."
"Shut up!"
Gong Xuefeng shouted fiercely, coughing out a mouthful of blood due to the injury.
"I was careless and didn't expect that he had such a trump card."
Quan Yangping's eyes were full of hatred.
"We must take revenge!"
Gong Xuefeng sneered and took out a black token from his arms.
"Of course I have to retaliate. But not now."
He rubbed the strange lines on the token.
"I've already thought of a way to deal with him."
"What can I do?" Quan Yangping asked eagerly.
Gong Xuefeng did not answer, but closed his eyes and continued to heal.
"You recover your spiritual power first. You will know when the time comes."
Quan Yangping Although full of questions, he did not dare to say any more and could only sit down and adjust his breathing.
Three days later, it was over Ten Thousand Ghosts Ridge.
A man in black stepped into the void, followed by five menacing monks.
These people are all at the peak of the Earth Palace Realm, but they behave extremely respectfully when facing the man in black.
"Senior Brother Mo, in front of you is Ten Thousand Ghosts Ridge."
A monk carrying two swords said respectfully.
The man in black, Mo Wuhen, nodded slightly, with killing intent in his eyes.
"Gu Sheng."
"When you killed my brother, did you ever think that today would happen?"
The five people behind him were silent.
They know Mo Wuhen's temper, and it is useless to say more at this time.
"According to the intelligence, Gu Sheng should still be in Ten Thousand Ghosts Ridge." Another monk said carefully.
"But it is said that Gong Xuefeng of the Luo Tian Sect is also here."
Mo Wuhen sneered.
"Gong Xuefeng? You're just trash. You can't even deal with a kid like Earth Palace Realm."
He raised his hand and waved, and several people accelerated and flew towards the depths of Ten Thousand Ghosts Ridge.
"Brother, brother will soon sacrifice you with Gu Sheng's head."
In the sky above Ten Thousand Ghosts Ridge, a bright beam of light shot straight into the sky, and the peerless sword inserted in the sky made a deafening sword cry.
The radiance of the stars flowing around the sword was pouring out like the Milky Way, and the terrifying sword energy tore apart the clouds covering a hundred miles in radius.
"It's an ancient divine weapon!"
An old man's beard trembled with excitement.
"At least Saint Artifact level!"
Greedy eyes shot from all directions, and dozens of Dao Body shadows rushed towards the direction of the light pillar.
There are also smart people who stop in mid-air and watch with cold eyes.
"Stupid."
A purple-robed monk sneered.
"How can such a divine item be obtained so easily? Why not find the boy named Gu Sheng first?"
His words resonated with several people around him.
Compared with the illusory sword, the "mobile treasure house" Gu Sheng is obviously more practical.
What's more, there is a sky-high price reward of the Supreme Immortal Sect.
Outside Ten Thousand Ghosts Ridge, a man and a woman stood in the air.
"Saintess Be careful."
Dragon Palace frowned.
"This time there is too much movement, even those Old Monster may be alerted."
Qinghe Saintess White gauze covered her face, revealing only a pair of clear eyes.
"Senior brother, don't worry, I have my own sense of discretion."
A colorful energy storm suddenly erupted in the distance, causing the ground to tremble.
"Another treasure is born?"
Dragon Palace was shocked and confused.
Qinghe Saintess's eyes flashed.
"No, this is the wave of the magic weapon's self-destruction!"
The two turned into streams of light and flew towards the explosion point.
"Ahem."
Gu Sheng climbed out of the rubble, his face extremely ugly.
The explosion just now caused his blood to surge, and the injuries that had not yet healed were aggravated by three points.
Ling Xiao came running in disgrace.
"Brother Gu, this movement."
"It's Gong Xuefeng!"
Gu Sheng gritted his teeth.
"That bastard deliberately detonated the magic weapon to attract others!"
The sound of breaking through the air could be heard in the distance. Gu Sheng made a prompt decision.
"Let's go!"
As soon as the two people rushed out of the big pit where they were hiding, they bumped into two familiar figures.
"Can you run away?"
Gong Xuefeng smiled sadly, Quan Yangping next to him held a bloody long knife, his eyes full of malice.
Gu Sheng's pupils shrank.
Gong Xuefeng's aura is colder and weirder than three days ago, and the injury on his right arm has completely recovered!
"In order to kill me, are you even willing to explode your magical weapon?"
Gu Sheng sneered.
Gong Xuefeng didn't take it seriously, but opened his arms proudly.
"It's worth it! Listen, how many strong men are coming?"
"I want you to taste what it's like to be hunted by thousands of people!"
"Crazy!"
Ling Xiao scolded angrily.
Gu Sheng No more nonsense.
The shadow of an ancient bronze bell appeared above the head. The body of the bell was engraved with mysterious runes, exuding a long-lasting aura.
"Primordial Samsara Bell?!"
Gong Xuefeng's face changed suddenly.
"How could you possibly refine it!"
"Dang——"
The bell rang, and sound waves visible to the naked eye spread. Gong Xuefeng and Quan Yangping were struck by lightning, spitting blood and flying backwards.
"Let's go!"
Gu Sheng grabbed Ling Xiao and galloped in the opposite direction.
The hysterical roar of Gong Xuefeng came from behind.
"Gu Sheng! You can't escape!"
In mid-air, three Dao Body figures suddenly stopped.
"It's the breath of the Samsara Bell!"
The eyes of the leader, the white-bearded old man, flashed with light.
"Chase!"
The three of them turned around at such a speed that they tore the air apart and created a sonic boom.
Their cultivation level far surpassed that of the Heavenly Palace Realm, and the distance between them and Gu Sheng was shortened in the blink of an eye.
"Not good!"
Gu Sheng's consciousness sensed the terrifying aura behind him, and his heart sank to the bottom.
He couldn't compete with a strong man of this level now.
Ling Xiao's face turned pale.
"Brother Gu, leave separately!"
"No!"
Gu Sheng flatly refused.
"Listen to me!"
Ling Xiao said anxiously.
"Their target is me. I'll go east to divert some of the pursuers, and you go west."
A bloody sword light struck, and the two people separated in a hurry.
Quan Yangping blocked the way with a sinister smile.
"Want to run?"
Gong Xuefeng also chased after him from behind, his cold eyes locked on Gu Sheng.
"You think you can do it with a broken clock."
"Cang!"
Gu Sheng rang the Samsara Bell again, but this time Gong Xuefeng was well prepared and used a bone shield to block most of the sound waves.
"Poof!"
Gu Sheng spurted out a mouthful of blood, and the backlash from forcibly activating the reincarnation clock caused severe pain in his meridians.
"Hahaha!"
Gong Xuefeng laughed proudly.
"You still dare to show off your strength at the end of your battle?"
Seeing this, Ling Xiao suddenly threw three talismans at Gong Xuefeng.
"Brother Gu, take care!"
The talisman exploded and turned into a rain of fire. Gong Xuefeng was temporarily blocked, and Ling Xiao took the opportunity to escape eastward.
"Chase! Don't let him get away!"
Quan Yangping was about to give chase, but was stopped by Gong Xuefeng.
"Idiot!"
Gong Xuefeng sneered.
"An insignificant little character is worth wasting energy? The real fat sheep is here!"
He looked at Gu Sheng viciously.
"How does it feel when your companion abandons you?"
Gu Sheng remained silent, just wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes becoming colder.
"Tsk tsk, is this what you Gu Sheng are like?"
Gong Xuefeng continued to taunt.
"In order to survive, you can even sacrifice your brothers?"
In the distance, Ling Xiao, who had escaped some distance away, heard these words and slowed down unconsciously.
Although his reason told him that this was the best choice, he still felt like a thorn in his heart.
"That's all." Ling Xiao smiled bitterly.
"Just think of it as repaying your original favor."
Just as he was about to speed away, there was a sudden earth-shattering explosion behind him!
"Gu Sheng, you can't escape!"
Gong Xuefeng's voice echoed in the depths of Ten Thousand Ghosts Ridge, with the feeling of victory in hand.
Gu Sheng leaned against a strange dark rock, his chest rising and falling violently.
There was a bone-deep wound on his right arm that was bleeding heavily, dyeing his robe dark red.
The surrounding rocks are rugged, exuding a suffocating pressure, but for Gu Sheng at this moment, this is the only refuge.
"Gong Xuefeng, you designed to frame me, aren't you afraid of being punished by God?"
Gu Sheng, however, scanned the surroundings, looking for an opportunity to break out.
Gong Xuefeng laughed when he heard this.
"God's punishment? In this Ten Thousand Ghosts Ridge, strength is the law of heaven! Gu Sheng, please hand over "Xuantian Art" obediently, and I can give you a pleasure."
Gu Sheng's heart sank.
There is no such thing as "Xuantian Art". This is completely a lie fabricated by Gong Xuefeng to make everyone hunt him down.
From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Ling Xiao being held hostage by two monks. He looked pale but shook his head slightly at him, signaling to leave him alone.
"Do you think I will believe you?"
Gu Sheng sneered and rushed directly towards the large pit filled with strange rocks.
This move stunned everyone.
"Is he crazy?"
Quan Pingyang's eyes widened.
"The pressure of the strange rocks in that big pit is unbearable even for Nascent Soul cultivators!"
Gong Xuefeng smiled ferociously.
"No matter what tricks he plays, chase him! Don't let him get away!"
Gu Sheng's body is like electricity, and every step he takes accurately steps on the gaps between the strange rocks.
It's not a blind escape, but a calculated route.
Although the coercion emitted by these strange rocks is strong, it can actually form a barrier for people like him who practice special skills.
"Ling Xiao, when I'm gone, run west immediately!"
Gu Sheng's voice is transmitted into the secret.
Ling Xiao was shocked when he heard this.
I originally thought that Gu Sheng would use this opportunity to escape to the depths of Ten Thousand Ghosts Ridge.
There is a legendary sword there, which may be able to turn the situation around.
But he didn't expect that Gu Sheng was actually trying to create an opportunity for him to escape!
"Brother Gu! No!"
Ling Xiao responded eagerly, but was interrupted by Gu Sheng.
"Stop talking nonsense! Remember, there is a teleportation array three hundred miles west of Ten Thousand Ghosts Ridge. Activate it to leave!"
After Gu Sheng finished speaking, he accelerated suddenly, and his figure almost turned into an afterimage.
Behind them, Gong Xuefeng and others were blocked by the pressure of strange rocks, and their speed was greatly reduced.
"Damn! There's something weird about these rocks!"
Cold sweat broke out on Quan Pingyang's forehead, and every step forward was like bearing a thousand kilograms of weight.
Gong Xuefeng is a bit cruel.
"Slow down and let him in. When he is at his most desperate, we will take action!"
Deep in the pit, the strange rocks are getting denser and more ferocious in shape.
Gu Sheng could feel that the evil energy contained in these strange rocks was corroding his meridians.
"Must hold on a little longer"
Gu Sheng gritted his teeth and continued to go deeper.
There was an open field ahead, and in the center stood a blood-red boulder, exuding a suffocating pressure.
At this moment, there was a sudden silence between heaven and earth.
Gu Sheng felt a warning sign in his heart and turned around suddenly.
I saw three Dao Body shadows standing in the sky, their auras so strong that they made the surrounding strange rocks tremble slightly.
"Not good!"
Gu Sheng's pupils shrank suddenly, the cultivation level of these three people was far beyond his imagination.
Gong Xuefeng was overjoyed when he saw this and quickly bowed and saluted.
"Three seniors, junior Gong Xuefeng, hereby welcome you!"
The leader is a man in gray.
He glanced at Gong Xuefeng and said calmly.
"Did you spread the news about the birth of the strange treasure?"
"Senior, that's right."
Gong Xuefeng said respectfully.
"Junior discovered the whereabouts of Gu Sheng, and specially used this method to lure senior here."
The gray-clothed man's eyes narrowed.
"Gu Sheng? "Xuantian Art" is in his hands?"
"Absolutely true!"
Gong Xuefeng points to the depths of the pit.
"He's in there right now!"
The one-armed man next to the man in gray frowned.
"Brother, this pit is a little weird."
"It's just a weird rock, nothing worth mentioning."
The man in gray sneered and pulled out a rusty iron knife from his back.
The blade looked ordinary, but as he waved it lightly, it emitted a harsh trembling sound.
Dozens of sharp sword energy struck directly at the strange rocks in the pit.
"Boom!"
Wherever the sword energy passed, those strange rocks that were enough to stop the Nascent Soul cultivator exploded.
Gu Sheng hurriedly retreated, but was still hit in the shoulder by a aftermath wave.
"Is this the strength of Deity Transformation stage?"
Gu Sheng was shocked.
I originally thought that the strange rocks could stop the pursuers, but I didn't expect that these barriers would be so vulnerable in the face of absolute strength.
The man in gray had already struck out with his second sword. This time, the sword energy was even more violent, almost sweeping away the entire pit of strange rocks.
The strange rocks were shattered, and the originally strong evil aura quickly dissipated.
"Gu Sheng, you can't escape!"
The man in gray had a cold voice, dragging the iron knife forward slowly.
Gu Sheng knew there was no way out, bit the tip of his tongue violently, spurted out a mouthful of blood, and quickly formed seals with his hands.
"Void Crossing!"
As he drank, the space in front of Gu Sheng actually rippled, and his figure began to become blurry.
"Want to leave?"
The man in gray snorted coldly, and struck out with the third sword. The sword energy directly tore through the void, but most of Gu Sheng's figure had disappeared.
"Chase! He can't run far!"
The man in gray clothes shouted and chased after him.
Two companions followed closely behind, and Gong Xuefeng and others also followed excitedly, wanting to witness the fate of Gu Sheng with their own eyes.
On the edge of the pit, Ling Xiao finally broke free.
He looked at the direction where Gu Sheng disappeared, with tears in his eyes, but he knew that being impulsive at this moment would only make Gu Sheng's sacrifice in vain.
"Brother Gu, there is a river of blood deep in Ten Thousand Ghosts Ridge, as long as you get there"
Ling Xiao transmitted the message into the secret, but I don't know if Gu Sheng can receive it.
He took one last look at the direction in which the pursuers were leaving, turned around and ran towards the west.
Every step he took felt like a knife was twisting in his heart - he knew that Gu Sheng's hope of survival was slim.
After Gu Sheng escaped from the pit, he ran towards the deepest part of Ten Thousand Ghosts Ridge.
Ling Xiao told him that as long as he could escape into the blood river, he would be safe.
"Blood River. We must get to the Blood River!"
Gu Sheng kept repeating these two words. This was the only belief that supported him to move forward.
His legs were numb and were driven solely by will.
The abyss-like pressure behind him is getting closer and closer, and in the distance there are countless streams of light converging in this direction.
"Gu Sheng kid, you can't escape today!"
The voice of the man in gray penetrated the dense forest.
Gu Sheng turned a deaf ear and stared at the looming blood on the horizon.
The strange blood light reflected from behind the mountain was particularly eye-catching in the gray Ten Thousand Ghosts Ridge.
