Gu Jiu's clothes were torn, and he was wrapped in sword energy. He grinned and said, "This guy's hitting is really painful."

Chapter 45 There is something

Gu Jiu lifted up the giant's palm, and saw a layer of black flame on Gu Jiu's body, burning, even his hair turned a little yellow, not to mention his clothes.

Gu Jiu exhaled a circle of black air and raised his hand. The sword energy surrounding him suddenly roared up and knocked the palm down again like a giant dragon.

For a moment, gravel flew.

The way the hand struggled showed how unwilling it was.

Upon seeing this, the empress waved her hand, and the sword energy that had been released earlier rushed back from the sky, clanging and nailing the behemoth for a long time, nailing it to death below again.

An angry roar soon rang out from the pit, making the air buzz and even turning the surrounding weeds into shreds.

Gu Jiu returned to the boat and found that the whole boat was emitting black gas, as if it was on fire.

The Topaz Starship was seen devouring the finger that was particularly thick for it, and the wounds on its body were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye. Even the stern that was blown away began to have new jade formed.

But at this time, the Topaz Starship also became irritable. Without the control of the Empress, it began to rush around and roll around like a drunkard throwing a tantrum.

If Gu Jiu and the Empress had not settled down there, they would have been thrown out by it long ago.

Rumble, the topaz star ship, emitting black air, drilled into the ground, constantly hitting the soil and rocks, as if it had gone crazy.

Gu Jiu knew that this was the risk that the empress mentioned.

The Topaz Star Boat's injuries could be healed, but it was also possible that it would not be able to digest the evil nature of this thing and become insane.

Gu Jiu and the Empress followed the Topaz Star Boat and rushed underground, not knowing how deep it was.

The soil on the ground rolled into waves, making a rumbling sound. In the eyes of others, it was like an earth dragon was shuttling through the ground, making a huge noise.

Finally, with a bang, the Topaz Starship broke through the layers of rock and fell into a huge space.

Immediately afterwards, there was a shocking sound of water.

There is a surging river below the space, which should be an underground river.

The topaz star boat suddenly plunged into the underground river.

The freezing cold river water immediately submerged Gu Jiu and the Empress, and their hair spread out like seaweed.

But the two men remained calm, because these incidents were just minor incidents for them.

The underground river was extremely dark, without even a hint of light.

Only the cool touch of the water flowing through their bodies made the two feel that they really existed.

Not long after, the Topaz Starship began to emit bursts of light, illuminating the surroundings a little.

But the light was no longer the light gold as before, but dark green, even leaning towards black.

At this moment, half of the Topaz Starship's hull had changed color, as if it was coated with a thin layer of ink, constantly bubbling, appearing somewhat eerie and terrifying.

Crackling, crackling, two cracks appeared on the deck where Gu Jiu and the Empress were standing, constantly tearing at their feet.

But both of them were too hard to bite.

But such changes are really scary, and it only proves that the ship has gone crazy.

The huge and turbulent underground river suddenly turned at this moment, and the Topaz Star Boat fell down while crashing into half of the rocks.

Rumble!

This is a waterfall with a huge drop. Just listening to the sound is creepy, as if there is no bottom.

After nearly a hundred breaths, just when Gu Jiu and the Empress thought they would continue to fall like this, they heard a loud bang.

The Topaz Starship crushed a sharp stone pillar about thirty feet long and fell silent.

From a distance, it looks like a grilled fish on a skewer.

Perhaps this fork went too deep, and the extremely crazy Topaz Star Boat lost its energy. After it exhaled a long black air, the light emitted from its body became a little yellower.

The water roared down and hit the boat so that the whole boat was filled with water.

Seeing this, Gu Jiu pulled out a rattan chair and lay down in the water.

The rattan chair floated on the water and he was lying on it. If it weren't for the dark underground, he would really look like he was on vacation at the beach or in a swimming pool.

The empress still stood there, her brows slightly furrowed, her expression looking somewhat painful.

Gu Jiu didn't say anything.

He knew why the empress was in pain.

It was not because of the Topaz Starship's rampage, but because of the sword formation.

The sword formation that suppressed the terrifying monster outside Galan City was composed of a part of the empress's soul.

People have three souls and seven spirits. Any less would be very uncomfortable, and the empress paid at least one soul and two spirits.

Gu Jiu had just discovered this, and besides being surprised, he was more sad.

Even the unrivaled emperor has to pay a price for some things. Does that mean that there is still true freedom in this world?

He couldn't help but admire the empress even more. If it weren't for this woman, the human race in this world would have no future.

Silence hovered between them like a vulture.

The Empress seemed to understand Gu Jiu's intentions and said calmly, "You don't have to look at me like that. I was born this way. Besides, I also want to find something to do. If I can't even do this little thing well, then my life will be so boring."

The empress's words were understated, but the facts were somewhat heavy.

Born this way? Looking for something to do to kill time, like saving the world?

But Gu Jiu could see that the empress really wanted to do this.

It's not for the sake of compassion for the world, nor for the sake of being remembered in history, but just for myself.

Over the long years, sometimes people make seemingly irrational choices that are actually the result of careful consideration.

Gu Jiu didn’t know that the empress was under restraint. Even if he knew, the so-called restraint had long lost its binding force.

What she did was ingrained in her bones, almost instinctive.

All of this is just to have no regrets and follow your heart.

With the empress's strength, she can live well even if the Tang Dynasty collapses completely. The choices she makes now are just to follow her wishes.

Gu Jiu had to admit that it was fortunate that the Tang Kingdom had such an emperor who only followed his wishes.

The people living under countless roofs can live an ordinary and warm life because of people like the Empress.

This world is fucked up.

Gu Jiu lay on the rattan chair, swaying with the water flow on the boat.

He never had these grand aspirations, but was forced to take one step at a time by circumstances.

The Topaz Starship gradually quieted down, and the black aura on its body dissipated. Except for some mottled black spots on the hull, everything returned to normal.

It seems that the Topaz Starship has passed this level?

I saw that the Topaz Star Boat had become larger than before, and the newly grown stern was very smooth, forming a rolling wave shape, which was quite unique.

A moment later, the Topaz Star Boat flew upwards and soon sank into the dark river, going upstream.

After about an incense stick of time, Gu Jiu and the empress frowned almost at the same time.

There was a ripple beneath the Topaz Starship, and a pair of huge scarlet eyes appeared in the dark waters.

There's something down there...

Chapter 46 It hurts just looking at it

The noise coming from below was actually not that loud, but the reason why Gu Jiu and the Empress were able to notice it was because this thing was indeed quite powerful.

Today, the Tang Kingdom has been eroded by the underworld and is riddled with holes. It is common to see hundreds of ghosts walking around at night, but until now, there are not many ghosts that can attract the attention of Gu Jiu and the empress.

The only thing that can attract their attention is a big ghost.

The so-called big ghost is a ghost with the strength of the Moving Mountains Realm. Because of some of its strange characteristics, this kind of ghost cannot be dealt with by ordinary practitioners in the Moving Mountains Realm, and it is extremely dangerous.

The two did not expect to encounter a big ghost in this situation.

The pair of scarlet eyeballs quickly appeared in the sight of the two people like two lanterns.

As the light on the Topaz Star Boat grew brighter, Gu Jiu and the Empress could see clearly what it was.

It was a dragon, but it had a pair of eyes like a demon.

The Empress said calmly, "Ghost-eyed dragon."

The Ghost-Eyed Dragon was cunning by nature and couldn't figure out the strength of Gu Jiu and the Empress for the time being, so he didn't rush to attack.

As a result, at this time, Gu Jiu moved first.

He leaned forward and shot out like a cannonball, leaving the rattan chair spinning in place.

Seeing this, the ghost-eyed dragon let out an angry roar, swung its sturdy body, and created a huge wave, hitting Gu Jiu.

A cold sword light flashed, illuminating the dark waters.

The sword light easily passed through the waves and pierced into the right eye of the ghost-eyed dragon with a click.

The ghost-eyed dragon let out a sharp roar, trying to escape from the sword energy, but it was not over yet.

At this moment, the sword light spun like a tornado, creating a wind tunnel in the water area.

For a moment, there was an endless sound of flesh and blood being torn apart. The entire right eyeball of the Ghost-Eyed Dragon became fragmented and separated from its body.

The ghost-eyed dragon couldn't help but let out a shrill wail and turned around to leave.

It was very fast, like a streak of light cutting through dark waters.

The ghost-eyed dragon with a shattered eyeball chose to escape without any hesitation.

After just one encounter, it realized that it was no match for this human.

It thought that as long as it ran fast enough, the other party would not be able to catch up with it.

And the current situation seems to be moving in this direction.

Because the person behind him stopped moving more than ten breaths ago, as if he had given up chasing him.

The ghost-eyed dragon still did not let down its guard. The severe pain in its right eye made it want to escape, escape madly.

But soon, it found that something was wrong, that is, its speed seemed to slow down.

But the strong desire to survive forced it to continue to flee. The ghost-eyed dragon couldn't help but let out a roar and continued to rush forward madly.

After running a few hundred steps, it stopped moving completely.

At this time, Guimu Jiao realized what had happened.

At some point, the Haoyu Sword turned into an extremely thin long stick and pierced through its tail.

The penetration was so easy that the ghost-eyed dragon did not feel any pain at all, but its tail was actually locked by Gu Jiu.

While locking the opponent's tail, Gu Jiu also relied on the Haoran Qi to block the opponent's perception of the tail.

So the Ghost-Eyed Dragon, which didn't notice this, fled forward frantically, stretching its body, and now looked like a rubber band that had been stretched to the extreme.

By the time it realized this, it was too late.

The shredded ghost eye fragments flew out, and the remaining left eye almost popped out.

It hurts so much!

Rumble, the ghost-eyed dragon that had been fleeing forward at its limit shrank back like lightning, and the turbulence it brought up made a fierce roar.

The empress looked at this scene and frowned slightly.

Because this picture really hurts just looking at it.

Although the dragon's body is flexible, what would it feel like if it were stretched to twice its length in an instant?

The ghost-eyed dragon's body, which had returned to its original length, became soft and sank downwards, with blood oozing from its body smelling extremely fishy.

Gu Jiu gently put away his sword, jumped back to the bow of the boat and lay down.

This dragon can basically be sentenced to death.
