Chapter 216: The True Story

"no!"

Zero carefully sensed the situation around him, but found nothing. Finally, he turned his gaze to Gu Mo who was not far away.

When Zero saw Gu Mo's calm expression, his brows furrowed slightly. The target's reaction was a little too strange.

Under normal circumstances, when the power of the escape talisman is exhausted, the target will either continue to flee in fear or launch a frantic attack, but the target did not have these normal reactions and was only calm.

"No matter what trump card you have, you are dead." Zero stared at Gu Mo. In the corpse ghost state, his physical strength, defense, and speed have reached the Nascent Soul level.

He didn't believe that someone in the early Jindan stage could threaten him. Even if it was a true Yuanying Zhenjun, he couldn't beat him, but he would have no problem protecting himself.

As soon as he finished speaking, Zero's figure disappeared instantly, and the next moment he appeared in front of Gu Mo, punching Gu Mo with terrifying power.

"Ding!"

Facing Zero's attack, Gu Mo held the golden blade and used the sword to return to block the attack. Although he took a few steps back, it was still considered a successful block.

"what!"

Seeing that Gu Mo blocked his attack, Zero's green-faced and fanged face showed surprise. The man in front of him who was in the early stage of the Golden Core actually had strength that was not inferior to his.

Even though Gu Mo is only in the early stage of Golden Core, after obtaining the 4th-level sunflower, Gu Mo has already begun to use the power of immortality to temper his body.

Although the tempering has not yet been truly completed, Gu Mo's current physical strength is already very close to the level of Yuanying Zhenjun. With the help of the mystery of the sword returning, it is naturally not a problem for him to block Zero's punch.

"Zhan Tian!"

While Zero was shocked, Gu Mo condensed the power of Zero's punch, and then used the Heaven-Slaying Sword Technique to counterattack.

"puff!"

A sword light that could cut through the sky and earth flashed by, and a cut was directly torn on Zero's body as he was unable to dodge, but the cut healed quickly.

Zero in the corpse-transformation state not only has combat power reached the Nascent Soul level, but also possesses terrifying self-healing abilities. This kind of person is definitely the most difficult to deal with.

"Good good!"

Zero looked at Gu Mo with ferocious eyes. After this fight, Zero had confirmed that the target in front of him was as powerful as him.

Moreover, the opponent was only in the early stage of Jindan, but fortunately, the opponent was only in the early stage of Jindan. Although the opponent's attack was sharp, it could not pose a threat to him.

At this moment, Zero couldn't help but feel lucky that he had chased after him. If he let such a threat escape, the battle between the geniuses at that time would definitely become a major concern.

"As expected of a magical power, it is indeed very powerful."

Gu Mo looked at the effect of his attack. The attack just now was definitely his strongest attack under normal conditions. Such an attack only tore a cut on the opponent's body, and the cut healed quickly.

If it were any other Jindan cultivator, facing the current situation, they would have probably given up hope long ago, but Gu Mo was different. The attack just now was only a test for him.

He still has many tricks that he hasn't used yet. "Forget it, let's end the battle as soon as possible so as not to make Senior Sister Ding worry." Gu Mo took a deep breath.

Immediately, an immortal force was ignited in Gu Mo's body, and in an instant Gu Mo's aura instantly rushed to the Nascent Soul level.

"Immortal power, you are actually the Immortal Golden Pill!"

Zero felt the sudden surge of Gu Mo's aura and quickly figured out the reason. At this moment, Zero's eyes were filled with shock and jealousy.

Because even he was unable to condense the Immortal Golden Pill. The condensation of the Immortal Golden Pill requires extremely profound foundation. In the Yinshi Sect, Ze Luo is not the top one in the sequence of true disciples. The resources of the sect will be given priority to those with stronger talents.

In the Demon Sect, there is no such thing as equal distribution, and the strong take all. Therefore, among the true disciples in the Demon Sect, the difference in ranking if one is one place higher can be huge.

Because he did not get enough resources for cultivation, he was unable to lay a strong foundation to condense the immortal golden elixir. This has always been a regret in Zero's heart.

However, in this battle of geniuses, the most top-level true teachings are not on the list. Zero has a good chance of winning the top spot in this battle of geniuses, and he will receive extremely generous rewards.

As long as he has enough resources, even if he fails to condense the Immortal Golden Pill, it will be enough for him to reach the realm of Nascent Soul Demon Lord.

But Zero had not expected that one of the targets he was chasing had actually condensed the Immortal Golden Pill. Immediately, Zero thought of many magical secrets to seize the Immortal Golden Pill.

"Opportunity!"

Zero looked at Gu Mo with a fiery gaze. If he could capture a lone immortal golden elixir, dig out its immortal golden elixir, and transplant it into his own body with the help of the secret magic, then he would have obtained a ticket to the Nascent Soul realm.

"It looks like we have to go all out."

Feeling the powerful aura on Gu Mo, Zero felt heartbroken. The target consumed so much immortal power, so he must not use up all the precious immortal power.

In order to preserve as much immortal power as possible, Zero had to use all his strength to quickly capture the target.

As he thought of this, a gloomy grey aura burst out from Zero's body, and in an instant, sharp wails sounded. The grey aura turned out to be the transformation of countless resentful souls.

Then those resentful souls quickly condensed and turned into a gray armor with distorted human faces all over it, covering Zero's body. With the armor on, Zero's aura instantly rose a lot, even surpassing Gu Mo who used the immortal power. However, Zero's expression at this moment was full of pain and hideousness.

Although his move was very powerful, the price he paid was the bites of countless resentful souls. But in order to seize the target immortal golden elixir, this price was completely worth it.

"die!"

Zero endured the gnawing of the resentful spirit and quickly killed Gu Mo.

"The devil has many methods."

Gu Mo held the golden blade in his hand, looking at the rapidly approaching Zero, and the Great Sun Sword Intent burst out. In an instant, a blazing sun descended.

"what!"

The sudden arrival of the sun shocked Zero. Wasn't this the genius of Shennong Valley? How could this be the Extreme Yang Sword Intent of the Yin-Yang Sword Sect? No, this was stronger than the Extreme Yang Sword Intent he knew. Just the radiation of the sword intent burned many of the resentful souls on his armor.

The Demon Sect was naturally very clear about the Yin-Yang Sword Sect's Extreme Yang Sword Intent. After all, it was a force that could restrain the methods of the devil.

For this reason, the Demon Sect has also come up with many ways to deal with it. At this moment, Zero's resentful soul armor has the effect of resisting the extreme yang sword intent.

It was certain that he would encounter a genius from the Yin-Yang Sword Sect in the next battle of geniuses. If Zero wanted to take first place, he naturally had to prepare to deal with the Extreme Yang Sword Intent.

Now it seems that his preparation was correct. Although Gu Mo's Great Sun Sword Intent was very strong, it would be difficult to burn the Wrathful Soul Armor on Zero in a short period of time.

However, after this battle, Zero's Wrathful Soul Armor is probably scrapped. If he wants to refine it again, he has to collect wraiths again.

But for the Immortal Golden Elixir, this loss is completely acceptable to Zero.

“The true teachings of the top sects are indeed difficult to deal with.” Gu Mo took out a fiery red chili pepper. He did not have 12 sword pills in his body, so he could not arrange the formation of the Twelve Sword Evils of Dutian, so as to enhance the Great Sun Sword Intent again, transforming it into the Great Sun Golden Crow, and wielding the Great Sun Golden Crow Sword.

But I also have my own fighting methods.

Gu Mo crushed the fiery red pepper in his hand, and suddenly, a hot breath that was no weaker than the sun burst out, and the next moment a huge fire dragon appeared.

"what!"

Looking at the fire dragon that suddenly appeared, Zero let out a desperate roar, because the fire dragon was the real power of the Nascent Soul True Lord, and had even reached the level of the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.

"It's over. A hot chili pepper was wasted!" Gu Mo sighed. If a sword cultivator incarnation was allowed to fight this battle, the battle should be resolved with one move of the Great Sun Golden Crow Sword.

However, although I have mastered the Great Sun Sword Intent and can use the Great Sun Golden Crow Sword, the technique I practice is not designed for sword practice at all.

Therefore, I am currently unable to wield the Great Sun Golden Crow Sword. I can only wait for Gu Mo to continue to improve the Great Sun Sword Intent, to the point where the Great Sun Sword Intent can condense the Golden Crow without the assistance of sword pills. Then, I will be able to wield the Great Sun Golden Crow Sword.

"However, once the cave is ready, my combat power will definitely surpass that of my incarnation." Gu Mo put away Zero's storage equipment, and then rushed towards the direction where Ding Shiyan was.

Now Gu Mo has opened up many spiritual fields in the cave, and has planted plants in them. However, there are not many level 4 sunflowers at present. Gu Mo is still continuing to accumulate level 4 sunflowers. Once the number of level 4 sunflowers is sufficient, Gu Mo can start upgrading level 4 combat plants.

When a battle occurs again, Gu Mo can directly summon out the plants in the cave.

……

"Sister Ding, I will hold back this corpse puppet, you guys retreat." Ming Yueyue, who has the most combat experience, is very clear about the current situation, and she also responded according to the actual situation.

If the three of them continued to fight with the corpse puppets like this, they would only continue to consume their own strength. No one knew when Zero would come back. Once Zero returned, there would be no hope.

Now at least two of the three can escape.

"No, no, let's think of another way!"

Ding Shiyan shook her head and let Ming Yueyue hold the corpse puppet alone. Even if it exploded in a short period of time, she could resist for a while, but when the explosion was over, what would Ming Yueyue do?

Even if Ming Yueyue really held back the corpse puppet, she would surely die when Zero returned. Ding Shiyan could not accept the thought that Ming Yueyue would be sucked out of her soul by the demon cultivator.

Thinking of this, Ding Shiyan thought of Gu Mo who led Zero away. At this moment, Ding Shiyan hoped that Gu Mo could escape successfully. Considering the importance the elder attached to Gu Mo, the life-saving trump card he gave him should not be bad.

Therefore, there is still some chance that Gu Mo can escape from Nazero, but if Ming Yueyue stays, there will be absolutely no chance of escape.

"Don't think about it. If you keep thinking about it, we will all be left behind." Ming Yueyue's strength continued to increase, and her fighting became more and more crazy.

"Let's escape separately. It depends on fate who can escape alive in the end." Ding Shiyan's eyes narrowed. She didn't want Ming Yueyue to sacrifice for them, but she also knew that if they didn't leave now, no one would be able to leave later.

In this case, let’s all escape for our lives. Who lives and who dies is up to fate.

"Junior Brother Du, you go first!"

Ding Shiyan said to Du Jinpeng who was behind. He was the slowest, and if everyone walked together, Du Jinpeng would definitely be the first to be caught up, so Ding Shiyan let Du Jinpeng go first.

If Du Jinpeng still failed to escape under such circumstances, then she had tried her best.

"it is good!"

Du Jinpeng nodded. He did not recall the roaring ancient tree. He remained where he was and continued to assist Ding Shiyan and Ming Yueyue, while he quickly escaped away.

"Yueyue, it's been a while since we last competed in speed. Let's see who runs faster today." Ding Shiyan sent a message to Ming Yueyue.

"Okay!"

Ming Yueyue nodded, but her attack became more fierce.

"Then let's go!"

Following Ding Shiyan's order, the two of them looked at each other, who were motionless, and smiled, "If that's the case, let's fight to the death."

Ding Shiyan smiled helplessly. Her plan was only to trick Du Jinpeng away, but she failed to trick this old friend away.

"Sister Ding, wait!"

Suddenly, Ming Yueyue called Ding Shiyan.

"what happened?"

Ding Shiyan quickly stepped back and asked.

"That corpse puppet has stopped." Ming Yueyue's spiritual sense swept towards the corpse puppet. At this moment, the corpse puppet had completely stopped, but the power in the corpse puppet's body was still plenty.

Logically, they shouldn't stop unless their master orders them to stop, but Zero won't let them go unless...

"Then Zero is dead!"

Ding Shiyan and Ming Yueyue both thought of this possibility at the same time. Zero went to hunt down Gu Mo, but he died suddenly. This made the two women have a shocking idea in their minds.

“That shouldn’t be possible. Maybe it’s Yuanying Zhenjun who took action.” Ming Yueyue said.

"Didn't you say we were going to run away together? You actually lied to me!" At this time, Du Jinpeng appeared breathlessly, and with him also appeared Gu Mo.

On the way back, Gu Mo met Du Jinpeng who was fleeing far away. After learning that Zero was dead, Du Jinpeng quickly returned with Gu Mo.

Seeing that Ding Shiyan and Ming Yueyue had not left, Du Jinpeng couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. Wouldn't this make him look like a nobody, abandoning his companions?

Du Jinpeng is not a person who fears death.

"Brother Gu Mo, what's going on?"

Ignoring Du Jinpeng's complaints, Ding Shiyan quickly asked Gu Mo about the details.

Immediately, Gu Mo told the story he had prepared before. It was learned that when Gu Mo was using the escape talisman to escape, he met a passing Yuanying Zhenjun. Then, that Yuanying Zhenjun took action and killed Nazero.

"really!"

After hearing what Gu Mo said, Ding Shiyan and Ming Yueyue nodded. They also felt that Gu Mo's explanation was very reasonable. On the contrary, the idea of ​​Gu Mo killing Zero was a bit outrageous.

Shennong Valley.

"Huh~ I'm finally back." Qi Chunde looked at the towering ancient trees in the distance and couldn't help but let out a long sigh. Ever since he got rid of the pursuit, Qi Chunde has been traveling outside.

However, he recently learned about the Tianjiao Battle, and thinking that he was also on the Tianjiao list, Qi Chunde chose to return to Shennong Valley to contribute to the Tianjiao Battle.

After all, if he couldn't come back in time to participate in the Tianjiao Battle, the righteous side would be one less person.
