Chapter 12: The Great War Against Luohou

  Yun Zhongzi followed his divine sense, burrowing towards the roots of the tree. Half a time later, he finally arrived at the mysterious place he had previously sensed with his divine sense.

  This place was actually a fairly large space, about 100 meters in diameter. As soon as Yun Zhongzi appeared here, he instantly took on human form and gazed intently at the black mist in front of him.

  In this space, except for a mass of black fog in the middle, all other places are white and vast, all of which were condensed from yuanqi, and yuanqi is still pouring in continuously from outside the space.

  Looking again at the place where the black fog and white fog came into contact, he only saw the white fog rapidly disappearing. Upon closer inspection, he discovered that these white fogs were actually being swallowed by the black fog, which made Yun Zhongzi somewhat astonished.

  What is the origin of this black fog, which actually devours the primordial energy so much? The amount of primordial energy here is really too huge. Even Yun Zhongzi dare not absorb such a large amount, because his current speed of refining primordial energy and the speed at which this black fog devours primordial energy are simply incomparable.

  The black fog made Yun Zhongzi feel very uncomfortable, feeling very gloomy and cold. Moreover, a faint stench wafted out of the black fog, extremely foul-smelling and difficult to bear. Therefore, Yun Zhongzi directly stopped breathing, then his divine sense scanned towards the black fog.

  Suddenly, just as his divine sense probed into the black fog, Yun Zhongzi only felt a buzzing in his head, a wave of drowsiness surged up to his heart, and his soul sea was somewhat dizzy. Yun Zhongzi's body shape was unstable, with a feeling of being sleepy.

  Yun Zhongzi stood there with a expressionless face, his entire body's aura dropping again and again. At this time, a faint shadow appeared, the shadow holding a spear in its hand, suddenly pounced towards him.

  At the critical moment, a thing in the cloud gourd began to move on its own, and a refreshing breath swept across his heart. Yun Zhongzi immediately regained his composure, and his body instinctively flipped over to avoid the shadow's pounce. Then, he stood up instantly, patted the green gourd on his waist, and looked extremely ugly.

  The shadow's strike was unsuccessful and seemed somewhat surprised, putting away the black gun and stopping in place without any movement.

  Yun Zhongzi already knew what had happened before, and he was actually bewildered by an illusion created by this shadow just now. Fortunately, the bitter bamboo in the gourd played a role in sobering him up at the critical moment, making him instantly awake, otherwise...

  Yun Zhongzi felt a chill run down his spine as he thought about it, and his eyes clouded over as he sized up the figure in front of him.

  As for what Yun Zhongzi experienced in the illusion array, it was unknown to outsiders.

  "Hmph, I didn't expect you to wake up from the old ancestor's illusion array. It seems that you have a treasure on your body that can calm the soul and awaken the spirit." The shadow let out an ear-piercing voice, which felt like being choked while speaking, making Yun Zhongzi feel very uncomfortable.

  Yun Zhongzi's eyes narrowed as he heard the words and guessed, "Luo Hui?"

  Yingzi heard the two words "Lao Zu" and his whole body shook, his mouth coldly said, "Heh heh, does anyone in this modern Honghuang still remember Old Ancestor? However, Old Ancestor doesn't hope for someone to miss me."

  As soon as the voice fell, Luo Yu made a swift move to kill Yun Zhongzi, but Yun Zhongzi was not afraid. At this moment, Luo Yu was just a residual soul. He took out the Lietu Seal and was about to strike when suddenly a spear appeared in Luo Yu's hand and a lotus platform appeared under his feet. A black light screen emanated from the platform, enveloping Luo Yu.

  Yun Zhongzi was shocked at this sight and exclaimed, "The Divine Gun of Regicide? The Twelve-Tiered Lotus Platform of Annihilation?"

  It's not that Yun Zhongzi is fearless, but even if it's just a remnant of Luo Ye's soul, the name of the God-slaying Gun and the Twelve Tribulations' Black Lotus are notorious outside. Yun Zhongzi wouldn't be arrogant enough to think he could withstand Luo Ye, who possesses two treasures. Just now, under fear, after learning that the shadow was Luo Ye's remnant soul, he didn't instantly associate it with the God-slaying Gun and the Twelve Tribulations' Lotus Platform.

  "Hmph, your vision isn't low." Luo Yu let out a cold hum.

  Luóu's speed was too fast, even surpassing Yún Zhōngzi's speed, unable to dodge, could only strike the Shìzhen Seal in his hand towards the Shàshén Spear.

  "Boom." Two magical treasures collided with each other.

  The town-printing seal was directly blown away, but the god-killing spear also flew back into Luo's hand. This made Yun Zhongzi directly stunned, feeling a bit unreal. The god-killing spear, that infamous treasure, actually fought evenly with the town-printing seal? Whoever encountered this would not believe it.

  "Isn't that the real God-slaying Gun?" Yun Zhongzi stared at Luo Hui, with flames dancing in his eyes. He had no feelings for Luo Hui before, because he had never seen him, but now he hated Luo Hui to death, and his own deepest secrets were being led out by him. Everything was originally very good, but the reason for the illusion array made Yun Zhongzi extremely resentful of Luo Hui. Yun Zhongzi felt extremely angry, and now that Luo Hui didn't have the real God-slaying Gun in his hand, this was a great opportunity for Yun Zhongzi to kill him. He hadn't even thought about where the real God-slaying Gun was.

  "Even without the God-slaying Gun, it's not hard to kill you."

  The two clashed again, although Luoyi didn't have the real God-slaying Gun in his hand, and even the lotus platform under him wasn't real. However, the defense of the lotus platform gave Yun Zhongzi a headache. Even when Lie Town Seal struck the lotus platform with all its might, it only made the lotus platform sway slightly, without causing any damage to it.

  After a long battle, he was even stabbed several times due to carelessness. Fortunately, the divine gun did not have the effect of killing gods, otherwise Yun Zhongzi would be in great pain. Yun Zhongzi was somewhat annoyed, as a powerful being in the Da Luo Golden Immortal period, he couldn't even defeat a small residual soul, which made him angry.

  "Hmm."

  Yun Zhongzi took out the Ruyi Ring, and although the greatest effect of the two rings was to capture people, it had little effect on residual souls. Yun Zhongzi's face looked a bit unsightly, then he directly used the Ruyi Ring as an ordinary magic treasure, constantly smashing it towards Luo Hui's lotus platform on his body.

  However, the effect was not very good. The Ring of Intent had no effect on the Lotus Platform, and Yun Zhongzi was helpless. At present, he didn't have any powerful magical artifacts, and the best one he had was the Shattering Seal in his hand. But even the Shattering Seal couldn't break through the defenses of the 12th-grade Lotus Platform, making Yun Zhongzi somewhat anxious.

  "Ha! A tiny little Da Luo Golden Immortal like you also wants to kill the Old Ancestor? What a ridiculous fantasy."

  Luoyi looked very relaxed, and Yun Zhongzi's every move seemed casual, as if he hadn't used much strength, with still some energy left.

  Yun Zhongzi didn't say a word, only fiercely taking out the Lietu Town Seal and Ruyi Ring. As time passed, Yun Zhongzi became increasingly anxious, now he was drenched in sweat, but Luo Rou seemed like an unaffected person, extremely relaxed, occasionally leaving a wound on Yun Zhongzi's body while also not forgetting to verbally strike at Yun Zhongzi, making him very annoyed.

  In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen hours had passed. The spiritual energy in Yun Zhongzi's body had been depleted by more than half, and his body was covered in bloodstains, with wounds all over him. Several of the wounds were very severe, and bones could be faintly seen through the openings.

  Yun Zhongzi was somewhat disheartened, he had used all his methods, but still couldn't leave even a small wound on Luo Yu's body. This made Yun Zhongzi lose hope of killing Luo Yu. Even if he wanted to escape, Yun Zhongzi couldn't do it, because he found that this space was actually connected in one piece, and he couldn't find any way out.

  "You can't escape, just accept your fate and die, or you'll suffer a living death." Luo Hua struck another blow to Yun Zhongzi's confidence.

  Yun Zhongzi was getting more and more annoyed, after such a long time, Yun Zhongzi couldn't even see the hope of survival, he had some fear in his heart originally, but Luo Hui that guy was like a bird, chirping non-stop, constantly disturbing him, which made him even angrier.

  His eyes were bloodshot, his forehead bulged with blue veins, and his face was red with rage. Yun Zhongzi's anger reached the boiling point, his mind unstable, on the verge of losing control.

  Lu E saw this and smiled gloomily, saying again, "You are just an ant, how can you fight with me, the ancestor of demons?"

  As expected, Yun Zhongzi's anger surged in his chest upon hearing the words, instantly reaching its peak. His eyes turned bloodshot red.

  At this moment, a strong fragrance suddenly floated out from the green calabaza at Yun Zhongzi's waist, which instantly drilled into Yun Zhongzi's nostrils, and a bamboo plant appeared in this space.

  In an instant, Yun Zhongzi woke up from his out-of-control state, his whole body feeling like it had fallen into an icy cave. The chill pierced his heart, causing him to shudder. The crimson color in Yun Zhongzi's eyes instantly dissipated, and he regained his clarity. He felt a bit frightened and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead with his hand, then looked up at Luo Hui opposite him.

  Only at this moment, Luo Hui was a distance away from Yun Zhongzi, staring at Su Zhu far away, because at this time, Luo Hui was just a residual soul, so his expression, Yun Zhongzi did not know, but Yun Zhongzi vaguely guessed that it should be fear, terror and other emotions.

  "Damn it, unexpectedly this is a congenital spiritual root, old man, you're ruthless."

  "Old guy? Who?" Yun Zhongzi wondered in his heart, but he couldn't care about that now. He reached out and took the bitter bamboo, took a deep breath, calmed his mind, then held the bitter bamboo and launched an attack on Luo Hui with the Splitting Town Seal.

  Every time Yun Zhongzi strikes Rutou with the bitter bamboo as a treasure, Rutou has no choice but to use the God-slaying spear to block the bitter bamboo, allowing the Lietu Seal to land on the lotus platform.

  Yun Zhongzi inferred that the bitter bamboo had a suppressive effect on Lu E, and with this in mind, Yun Zhongzi was overjoyed, having gained hope of being able to kill Lu E. Yun Zhongzi then accelerated his attack speed.

  As a result, the scene suddenly turned around. Previously, it was Yun Zhongzi who was beaten and Luo You was leisurely. Now it's Luo You's turn to be beaten.

  Luó Huì became extremely cautious and careful, not letting the bitter bamboo hit the lotus platform at all. With each strike, Luó Huì let out a string of angry roars.

  Even if Luo Yu was extremely careful, he still couldn't block all of Su Zhu's attacks. Every now and then, Su Zhu would land a hit on Lian Tai, causing the black light screen it emitted to tremble violently.

  Yun Zhongzi was even more excited to see this, and the prospects of killing the demon were promising. He accelerated his offense, and as for defense, since the attack power of the God-slaying Gun couldn't cause much harm to Yun Zhongzi, he didn't pay too much attention to it, only avoiding a few important areas.

  After several hours, the black light screen on the lotus platform was already shaking and about to break. Yun Zhongzi's face showed a joyful and crazy expression. He knew that as long as the defense of the lotus platform was broken, Luo Lü would soon die.

  After a moment, the lotus platform cracked open, and Luo Hua's residual soul appeared. Yun Zhongzi was overjoyed and held the bitter bamboo to sweep towards Luo Hua directly.

  Luoyue Fei retreated at the same time, and the Divine Gun pierced out.

  Yan Jian saw the tyrannical spear about to pierce his own arm, but Yun Zhongzi didn't mind and continued to sweep towards Luo Hui with his bitter bamboo.

  Just as the bitter bamboo was only a foot away from Luo Yu, and was about to sweep him in, the assassination gun pierced Yun Zhongzi's arm. At first, Yun Zhongzi didn't care, but at this moment, Yun Zhongzi suddenly felt a sharp pain in his mind.
