Chapter 682: A Dilemma
The previous few immortal formations were all arranged by the people of the Tianxuan Sect and the Astragalus Sect, and Gu Zheng did not participate. Now, having watched two performances of the corpse tree in the immortal array, Gu Zheng felt that there was an immortal array that should have a miraculous effect on the corpse tree.
The immortal array that Gu Zheng will arrange is called 'Attack and Kill', and the arrangement method of this immortal array comes from the distribution of treasures after hunting the ancient giant worm.
In fact, something like the 'Attack and Kill Array' is a shared resource in the team of Gu Zheng, and everyone knows how to arrange it, but arranging the 'Attack and Kill Array' is not just about drawing the formation pattern, it also needs some array weapons to assist.
There are actually many types of array weapons, which generally refer to those things that can be used when arranging formations.
More than a dozen things were taken out by Gu Zheng, some of these things looked like ordinary stones, some were bright like jewelry, and some looked like ornaments processed from animal bones.
Gu Zheng used his immortal power to draw the formation pattern on the ground, and then placed the array weapon in different positions on the formation pattern, and after the two fingers changed, both the formation pattern and the array weapon disappeared.
'Attack and Kill Array' is a very remote immortal array, this kind of immortal array is not very effective against people, but when used to deal with corpse trees with little intelligence, the effect should be very wrong.
After telling the people of Tianxuanzong about the characteristics of the 'Attack and Killing Array', Wan Changshan and the others all applauded.
"Now let's wait for it to break all the immortal arrays it was by, I hope it can be hit hard in the 'Attack and Kill Array'!"
Wan Changshan gritted his teeth, he had suffered a loss from the corpse tree before.
Several immortal arrays were broken by the corpse tree one after another, and everyone didn't see how much damage it had, but they knew that it was very angry at this time, and Wan Changshan was flying in the air with a series of electric rays chasing it.
The corpse tree that was kited by Wanchang Mountain finally stepped into the 'attack and killing array' under Gu Zhengbu.
There seemed to be nothing in the formation, but that didn't affect the corpse tree's rage, and it kicked and fought in the formation.
Silently, Gu Zheng suddenly appeared behind the corpse tree, and the killing cactus that had been brewing outside directly hit the corpse tree.
Although there are relatively few killing cactus in ancient battles now, the completely brewed killing cactus is still very powerful with his current strength, and under normal circumstances, the immortal cultivators in the early stage of the Golden Immortal will be killed if they eat this palm.
"Bang!"
In the dull sound, the corpse tree was beaten by Gu Zheng's palm, and he ran a few steps forward, and the corpse on his back was beaten out of a huge pit by Gu Zheng.
"Poof......
The corpse tree that stopped in its footsteps, as if a person had been beaten and vomited, opened its mouth and spat out a stream of yellow liquid.
As soon as the yellow liquid fell to the ground, it immediately turned into yellow smoke, and this smoke was like a living one, and it immediately flew towards Gu Zheng.
At the same time, the huge corpse tree turned around, and Gu Zheng saw with his own eyes that the deep pit on its back had been knocked out, and it was back to normal at the same time it turned around.
"Woohoo......"
The corpse tree clenched his fists and roared at Gu Zheng.
The whole body of the corpse tree is composed of decomposing corpses, which are rotten but still in human form, and they are like strips of objects, which have been refined into this monster by building blocks.
When the corpse tree opened its mouth wide and roared at Gu Zheng, the scene was indescribably weird! Its teeth were corpses of different lengths, and while it was roaring, those corpses were also sneering quietly at Gu Zheng, whether it was the light in their eyes or the ghostly laughter, it made people's heads sink and want to faint.
Gu Zheng was not an ordinary person, and this kind of spiritual attack could not defeat his tranquilization technique, but he had to leave the immortal array before the corpse monster really attacked him. After all, the yellow mist is actually the corpse qi that injured Wan Changshan and Elder Deng before, this kind of corpse qi has unimaginable destructive power for the immortal power protection on the body surface of the immortal cultivator, once the corpse qi enters the body, it must be removed as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable, which is also one of the places where the corpse tree is difficult to deal with.
Gu Zheng left the 'Attack and Kill Array' before the corpse tree could attack him, and just as he was leaving, Astragalus suddenly appeared behind the corpse tree and launched a fierce blow at the corpse tree.
The name 'Attack and Kill' is very apt, and the characteristic of this array is that the person who arranges the array can change back and forth through the immortal array, and shuttle between the space of the immortal array and reality.
The effect of the 'Attack and Killing Array' used to kill people is not good, after all, when entering through the Shengmen, immortal cultivators with divine thoughts will be more likely to notice the subtle changes in the array. But when used to deal with the corpse tree, the effect of this array is very good, after all, although the corpse tree is also very sensitive in some aspects, it does not have the divine thoughts of immortal cultivators, so it has no way to detect the fluctuation of entering the immortal array through the birth gate.
"It's so enjoyable, it's so enjoyable!"
Wan Changshan, who came out of the immortal array, laughed.
Gu Zheng told the people of Tianxuanzong about the law of the transformation of the life gate of the 'attack and killing array', and among the six people of Tianxuanzong, except for Li Qingqiu and that Senior Brother Zhang, the rest of the people would also enter the formation to launch a sneak attack on the corpse tree.
"It's a pity that the formation is already full of corpse qi, so I can't stay inside for too long. But even so, this formation has also made a great contribution to the final killing of corpses!"
Wan Changshan sighed very emotionally, although the corpse tree is strong, the yellow liquid it spits out, although it can turn into a domineering corpse qi, but the yellow liquid it spits out is actually the same as human blood, excessive blood loss will make it weak, and of course it will also make it die.
"Elder Wan, can you also let me enter the formation to experience it?" Senior Brother Zhang pleaded.
"Qiming, your cultivation is still low, you can't withstand a blow from the corpse tree, this kind of scene is not suitable for you and Qingqiu to participate in!" Wan Changshan said solemnly.
At the same time, Gu Zheng appeared from the immortal array again.
The performance of everyone in the formation was presented in the void through immortal arts, and Gu Zheng's amazing combat power was also unobstructed by the people outside the formation. Gu Zheng was in the formation just now, and Gu Zheng's 'Fire Dragon Technique' coupled with Tang Mo's wild slash did make the corpse tree spit out a lot of yellow liquid.
"Bai Senpai!"
Looking at the ancient controversy that appeared, Li Qingqiu called out excitedly.
"Huh?"
Gu Zheng looked at Li Qingqiu.
"What do you think the corpse tree will eventually be injured in the immortal array?" Li Qingqiu said excitedly.
"I don't know. ”
"How could you not know?"
Seeing that Gu Zheng's tone was flat, Li Qingqiu said hurriedly.
"The Immortal Array won't last long. ”
As the arranger of the immortal array, the person who knows the most about the situation of the immortal array is Gu Zheng.
"Also, I found that the Corpse Tree was not as stupid as I thought, and that it had some powerful tricks that it didn't use in this situation where it couldn't catch the enemy. ”
The powerful means that Gu Zheng said referred to were some of the things they saw when they looked at Wan Changshan's combat images before.
"It's true that it hasn't used those methods yet, let alone whether it has more powerful means!" Wan Changshan, who also found the problem, said worriedly.
"Then what should I do?" Li Qingqiu asked again.
"After the immortal array is broken, there is only head-on contact, so be careful when the time comes!"
Wan Changshan's voice paused, and then he said: "This time the corpse tree is extraordinary, wait for you and Qiming, can you not participate in the war or not!"
Wan Changshan looked at Gu Zheng again: "Bai Daoyou, if I arrange it like this, will you think it's inappropriate?"
Originally, Tianxuanzong had two more people than Gu Zheng on their side, but now Wan Changshan did not let Li Qingqiu and Zhang Qiming participate in the war, if Gu Zheng was careful, Wan Changshan's decision was indeed a little undeserved, after all, when it came to resource allocation, Li Qingqiu and Zhang Qiming were also within the calculation range.
"The two of them have low cultivation, so it's okay if they don't go to war. ”
Gu Zheng is actually very talkative sometimes, and now he is also in a cooperative relationship with the people of the Tianxuan Sect, and he doesn't want to take some things too seriously.
Wan Changshan thanked Gu Zheng for his open-mindedness, but Li Qingqiu and Zhang Qiming, one pouted and the other pursed his lips, obviously unwilling to make such an arrangement.
No one cared about Li Qingqiu and Zhang Qiming's emotions, because the 'attack and killing array' was broken by the corpse tree.
Gu Zheng and the others immediately flew towards the corpse tree, and all kinds of immortal techniques were launched against the corpse tree.
However, it didn't let Gu Zheng and the others be in the air for long at all, and a method of dealing with Wan Changshan and the others before the corpse tree was revealed! With its roar, a large area centered on it completely became a forbidden state, and if Gu Zheng and the others wanted to attack it, unless they landed on the ground, it would be impossible at all!
"Whoosh Whoosh ......"
When Gu Zheng and the others fell to the right height, the real counterattack of the corpse tree came, which was a method that Wan Changshan and the others had not seen before.
I saw that many wrist-sized things shot out of the corpse tree's body, and they were like tentacles, pumping at Gu Zheng and the others in the air.
Although I had long thought that the corpse tree might have some means that no one had seen, when this method appeared, it was still so unexpected.
The screams rang out, and Zhang Qiming's father was the first to be hit and was directly sucked out.
"Father!"
Zhang Qiming exclaimed, ignoring Wan Changshan's advice before, and flew towards the battlefield.
"Senior Brother Li!"
As soon as Zhang Qiming moved, Li Qingqiu also flew up.
"Zhiyang Zhu!"
Wan Changshan roared angrily and sacrificed a jewel the size of a goose egg.
The oversized orb was a high-grade immortal artifact, and it emitted a strong light as soon as it appeared.
The intense light was very strange, and people didn't feel dazzling when they looked at it, but the corpse tree immediately let out a strange scream, and the originally raging 'tentacles' immediately wanted to withdraw, and black smoke came out all over their bodies, as if they had been subjected to a strong scorching.
However, the situation did not improve because of a solstice pearl, and even its improvement was only instantaneous.
"Whew!"
As the angry corpse tree roared at Wan Chang Mountain, a black shadow shot out of its mouth.
"Slash!"
Gu Zheng's eyes were quick, and a sword slashed at the black shadow's body, cutting it in two.
However, half of the severed black shadow fell to the ground, and the other half still flew towards Wanchang Mountain, and the speed was faster than before.
Everything is just a blink of an eye, and in the face of the flying black shadow, Wan Changshan sweats on his forehead!
The black shadow is actually a refining corpse that was cut off by Gu Zheng, but it carries great coercion, so that Wan Changshan is like suffering a nightmare, and wants to take action, but he can't even take a step away, obviously his mind is very clear, but his body is uncontrollable.
"Bundle!"
Elder Deng, who was closest to Wanchang Mountain, gave a helping hand, and a white silk-like immortal weapon wrapped around the refining corpse in the air.
However, without waiting for the white silk-like immortal weapon to wrap around the refining corpse, in a sharp roar from the refining corpse, the white silk that had originally attacked it actually flew towards Fang Xing on the side.
The next moment, the refining corpse hugged Wan Changshan's body, followed by an earth-shattering bang.
The refining corpse exploded, and although Wan Changshan was not shattered by the explosion, it was also blown away and flew far away.
"Lao Wan!"
Elder Deng screamed in pain, and she didn't choose to escape, and launched another attack on the corpse tree.
"Retreat!"
At this moment, Gu Zheng knew better than anyone that the corpse tree encountered this time was unprecedentedly tricky, and the price to pay to destroy it was very high.
It's a pity that the people on the side of Tianxuanzong didn't listen to Gu Zheng's words, and even Zhang Qiming and Li Qingqiu, who were still very weak, joined the battle. Huang Qi and the others are mainly based on the ancient dispute, and they want to evacuate the battlefield immediately, but the corpse tree no longer gives everyone a complete chance!
"Bang Bang ......"
The corpse tree roared and stomped on the ground violently, causing the entire valley to shake.
Whether it was in the roar of the corpse tree or in the vibration of the valley, everyone couldn't help but feel a feeling of nausea and weakness, which was actually a mental attack.
With Gu Zheng and Elder Deng's cultivation, it's okay for this level of attack, no matter how you say it, both of them are also cultivators in the late stage of the Golden Immortal. But for Astragalus and the others, their speed was immediately affected, and the whole person staggered as if they were about to fall. And Li Qingqiu and Zhang Qiming, who had the lowest cultivation, fell directly to the ground.
The corpse tree, which is like a madness, really does not give people time to breathe, and as soon as the stampede is over, it roars again with a different tone.
Originally, the corpse tree did not have eyes, its eyes only had an eye socket built by the corpse, and the parts of the eyes were two huge black holes. However, with the roar of Uncle Shi's different tones, two strange red flames suddenly appeared in the black hole!
The moment he saw the red flames, there was also a roar in Gu Zheng's mind, and he used all his strength to calm the mind to keep Qingming, as for Elder Deng and Astragalus and the others, they fell to the ground in an instant.
"Whew......"
The corpse tree roared again, and the 'tentacles' that had been withdrawn reappeared, most of them aimed at Gu Zheng, and the others were aimed at the people on the ground.
"Mad Demon Knife!"
A knife appeared as if it was about to open the world, and all the 'tentacles' that shot towards Gu Zheng were all cut off.
At the same time, Gu Zheng's heart was also shocked, it was a helpless move to use the 'Crazy Demon Crazy Knife', he originally wanted to launch the Immortal Domain to ingest the corpse tree into it, so he couldn't solve the corpse tree through the Immortal Domain, at least it would also buy some time for the Astragalus and the people of Tianxuanzong to see if they could wake up and evacuate to a safe place.
But it's a pity that when Gu Zheng decided to launch the Immortal Domain against the Corpse Tree, he found that the Corpse Tree couldn't be enclosed like a Fairy Domain at all! Although this monster without divine thoughts, it had unimaginable resistance to the space formed by divine thoughts.
The helpless 'Mad Demon Crazy Knife' caused Gu Zheng to suffer some backlash, but the time he bought for him was very limited, and those 'tentacles' that shot at other people were about to touch their bodies.
Between the lightning and flint, Gu Zheng had only one choice, who did he want to save among the people present! Although the immortal realm could not ingest the corpse tree into it, it could take people in.
However, dealing with the corpse tree is not hand-to-hand combat, so the distance between everyone is not tight, and it is impossible to take everyone in with the immortal realm, so Gu Zheng must have a choice.
Gu Zheng did not hesitate to choose, no matter how he said that Astragalus and others were also friends, but the people of Tianxuanzong were not.
Gu Zheng disappeared in place, and he, who used the characteristics of the desolate space, was already within the right range of Astragalus and the others when he reappeared.
The next moment, before the 'tentacles' could shoot the astragalus, Gu Zheng ingested the three of Astragalus, Yang Jie, and Fang Xing into the immortal realm, and even disappeared with him.
Although he entered the immortal realm, Gu Zheng still knew what was happening outside at a glance, and he clearly saw that the 'tentacles' of the corpse tree pierced into the bodies of Wan Changshan and the others, causing their bodies to twitch violently.
Anger permeated Gu Zheng's heart, and he tried to wake up Astragalus and the others in the immortal realm.
It took five tranquilizers on Astragalus and the others before they woke up after fainting.
After listening to Gu Zheng's account of the battle situation, Huang Qi and the others were angry and afraid at the same time.
"I didn't expect such a setback!" Fang Xing gritted his teeth.
"Is this picking a mantle heir? First the ancient giant worm, then the corpse tree, this is only the second layer of the Skull Palace, do you want people to live?" Yang Jue roared.
Astragalus is relatively open, and at this time he smiled bitterly: "Overall, our strength is still not enough, if it is an immortal cultivator in the middle and late stages of Da Luo Jin Xian, maybe there is no helplessness in the face of the corpse tree." ”
He is a descendant of the immortals, and Gu Zheng knows best that the great powers pay great attention to the luck of the heirs when they choose the heirs, so he is also very open to the difficulty of the treasure.
But even so, Gu Zheng felt that the difficulty here was a bit too strong.
"Maybe it's not that it's too difficult here, it's just that we're not evil cultivators, let alone evil cultivators on the way to refining corpses, if it's such an evil cultivator, maybe we know better what the weakness of the corpse tree is!"
As Gu Zheng spoke, he also secretly decided in his heart that in the future, if he got something like the evil cultivation method, even if it was a very evil one, he would resolutely not destroy it casually, and he would always have more insight when he took a look.
"Hey!"
Gu Zheng's words made everyone sigh.
"Bai Daoyou, what should we do now?" asked Huang Qi.
Facing Astragalus's inquiry, Gu Zheng's brows furrowed tightly, this is really a dilemma!
