Chapter 404: Deadwood Sword King
The battle for the hall master of the Dragon Divine Guardian Hall has only been in the period of one month, and now it is nearly half a month, Gu Zheng has made up his mind, and he immediately did not delay any longer, and left Yixin Mountain with nine Sword King servants on the same day, and swept all the way to the depths of the Demon Yuan Mountain Range.
Gu Zheng walked with the five kings of the Xing family, and the other four were hiding everywhere, ready to respond at any time. Among them, Jiang Qingyue, who was armed with the Dark Sword, led the way to investigate in front of them, trying to avoid the strong people in the mountains for them in advance.
In addition, Gu Zheng's divine soul already occupies a great advantage, and because he swallows several sword king divine souls and constantly refines, he can also continue to release his divine soul to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.
Therefore, the road was quite smooth, and it took less than a day to go deep into the Demon Abyss Mountain Range for three hundred miles.
It's just that after arriving here, everyone except Gu Zheng was more or less affected by the evil qi of the earth, which was quite uncomfortable and greatly reduced in strength.
As a last resort, Gu Zheng had to recall the four people from the periphery back to his side in case they encountered an accident.
These people will be his right-hand men in governing the fiefdom in the future, and if he dies here, it is indeed too worthless.
Moreover, Gu Zheng would also silently absorb the earth's evil qi with the Tiger Swallowing Seal, which could greatly reduce the discomfort of the nine servants and allow them to maintain a better state.
Although the nine people noticed a trace of abnormality, Gu Zheng had a mysterious origin and was their master, so they didn't dare to ask about it.
After going deep into the Demon Abyss Mountain Range for three hundred miles, Gu Zheng became more cautious, this place was already close to the core area, and the hidden king in it must be above the seventh level of the Spirit Elephant Realm, and there was no easy way to match him.
Even the five kings of the Xing clan have never gone so deep, and they are also thinking in their hearts in the face of the strong people here.
Moreover, the palace group that was already close to the five kings of the Xing clan was talking about, and it was very likely that they would encounter a contender for the hall master. Those proud sons of the sky are not soft-hearted, and they are even more ruthless than the sword kings in the Demon Yuan Mountain Range.
After all, it is the real water and fire between them that there is a direct conflict of interest.
It's a pity that they didn't fulfill their wishes, and after going fifty miles deep again, they still ran into a sword king who was cultivating in the depths of the Demon Abyss Mountain Range.
"He is the Deadwood Sword King of the Spirit Elephant Eightfold Realm, he has not seen it before, he has only heard of it, and he can be called one of the four great sword king powerhouses in the Demon Abyss Mountain Range. Xing Jin cautiously looked at the black-robed old man who suddenly appeared on the mountainside, and said to Gu Zheng and the others.
"Spirit Elephant Eightfold!" Gu Zheng's heart sank slightly, and he couldn't imagine that he would not be able to avoid such a strong person in the end.
Such a king, Gu Zheng asked himself that he was invincible, even if he had the power to escape, it would be difficult to leave with nine servants.
What to do?
Gu Zheng thought about it for a long time, and realized that he still underestimated the powerhouses in the Demon Yuan Mountain Range. There is no other way but to wait and see what happens, and if he really wants to fight, he can only cover the others to retreat first, and then escape deeper himself.
The old man's face shrouded in black robes was as thin as firewood, and his tone was even more hoarse and harsh, "Don't you understand the rules of the Demon Yuan Mountain Range?
Although the Deadwood Sword King was indifferent in words and deeds, he was not in a hurry to make a move, which made Gu Zheng breathe a sigh of relief.
He didn't speak, but looked at Zhu Qianye on the side and whispered.
Zhu Qianye was the most dignified and sleek among the several people, and quickly understood what Gu Zheng meant, and immediately said with respect: "The predecessors misunderstood, and I was forced to be helpless, so I fled here to avoid trouble." ”
"What do you mean by that?" the Deadwood Sword King didn't seem to know that the Demon Abyss Mountain Range had changed recently, and asked with a little curiosity.
Zhu Qianye hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "The seniors don't know, a group of powerful sword kings have come to the Demon Yuan Mountain Range, and they are specially hunting us. Now the companions in the outer lands have been killed and wounded. ”
The Deadwood Sword King paused slightly, and said in a condensed voice: "Is there such a thing? Is this to drive us to a dead end? What is their strength, how dare they trespass into the Demon Yuan Mountain Range?"
Zhu Qianye was even more relaxed, and followed the other party's question: "The cultivation of the person who came is not too strong, and the highest is the fifth level of spiritual image." We are not opponents, but presumably with the strength of our predecessors, we will naturally not be afraid of them. ”
With this slightly flattering sentence, the momentum of the Deadwood Sword King was obviously restrained a little, and even his tone was a little gentle: "I think it is your first offense, and there is a reason for it, and the old man doesn't care about you." ”
"But this mountain is different, and you can find another way. The Deadwood Sword King then said unquestionably.
Of course, this person didn't want to take care of Gu Zheng and the others, but just like this, Gu Zheng was happy. As long as the other party doesn't do it, it's not impossible for them to take a detour.
"Thank you seniors, I'll retire now. Zhu Qianye hurriedly clenched his fists.
Gu Zheng and the others also clenched their fists slightly, and then turned around and went down the mountain, preparing to escape from this terrifying place.
"Wait, leave the woman to serve the old man, and the others go. At this moment, the indifferent voice of the Deadwood Sword King came from behind him, and Gu Zheng and the others were suddenly in a predicament.
Woman, only one out of ten, is Jiang Qingyue, who has an ordinary appearance but a fiery figure. Gu Zheng didn't expect that this Deadwood Sword King would actually set his sights on Jiang Qingyue at the last moment.
Jiang Qingyue's indifferent face also showed a hint of surprise, because she couldn't help herself now, if Gu Zheng pushed herself out in order to avoid trouble, she wouldn't even have a chance to fight for a glimmer of life.
After all, Jiang Qingyue is now just a servant of Gu Zheng, and if she is abandoned, the others can retreat safely. With such a simple choice, Jiang Qingyue herself didn't have much hope.
But soon, a voice reached her head, the minds of the nine minions, to be exact.
"Hurry up, you go back first, I'll hold him back." Gu Zheng's voice was very decisive and did not hesitate at all.
It is precisely because of this that Jiang Qingyue and the other eight people couldn't help but be stunned, this senior brother, no, this master seems to be acting differently from ordinary people.
There was no time to sigh too much, and when the nine people heard Gu Zheng's order, they did not hesitate and continued to retreat at full speed.
As for Gu Zheng after Chuanyin gave the order, he turned around and returned, one blue and one red, two swords, entangled with each other, and quickly killed the deadwood sword king who had been killed.
"Look for death!" the Deadwood Sword King shouted loudly, and a mouthful of green willow leaf sword appeared in front of him.
The sword aura of the willow leaf Xuanjian erupted, turning into dry branches, exuding bursts of evil qi, and entangled Gu Zheng's double swords.
"Earth Evil Qi, is it a Demon King?!" Gu Zheng was the most sensitive to evil energy, and he noticed the abnormality at the first time.
But soon, Gu Zheng secretly denied it, "This is not the sword of the Demon King, but the real Willow Leaf Xuanjian." It's just that there is a little bit of evil in it, and it just gives birth to abnormal changes. ”
