Chapter 144 [143] Breakthrough! (Subscribe)

dong dong dong~
The stone statue stepped on the bluestone floor, raising dust.

The running speed is not very fast, but not slow either.

With a heavy sound, it whizzed through a street and turned into an alley.

Whoosh!
The sound of breaking wind was heard, and a figure followed closely behind, chasing the stone statue into the alley.

Zuo Lingfeng!
Gu Zheng raised his eyebrows, his body flashed, and he flew over in the air.

Swish!
With a flash of cold light, Zuo Lingfeng, holding a spear, caught up with the stone statue. The tip of the spear flashed with starlight and quickly pierced the statue's neck.

"Dang Cang~!"

The sound of metal clashing spread through the streets.

The statue's body didn't shake at all, and there was no crack or break on its neck.

Zuo Lingfeng's attack seemed to tickle the stone statue.

Instead, the recoil force was transmitted back to Zuo Lingfeng, forcing his body to spin and tumble in the air, and finally land on the ground with a "crack", crushing several stone slabs. The energy released from his body swept away the dust within a radius of dozens of meters around him.

Whoosh!
Gu Zheng followed closely behind, unsheathed the Tianshuang Sword, and with magical power surging, he performed the most powerful move of the "Nine-Star Golden Sword".

shuh~
The knife light turned into a line, cutting across the head of the stone statue.

laugh!
Bang~!

The light exploded, and the stone statue was still running, making heavy noises when stepping on the ground. There was an extra mark on the back of its head, which was clearly visible, but that was all. It was not very deep, and to the stone statue, it was still just a tickle.

"call!"

A strong wind blew up and turned into a tornado, carrying a stirring force, like a dragon, roaring and wrapping around the stone statue, starting to strangle it.

bang bang bang~
The dust was rising and the energy was raging.

The stone statue was still running, unaware of the attacks, allowing itself to be damaged, but it could not be destroyed.

boom!
There was a muffled sound.

The powerful rebound force pushed Zuo Lingfeng back again, and he flew backwards.

swoosh~
Gu Zheng took over to intercept the stone statue. The Tianshuang Sword in his hand emitted a cold light and he chopped at the stone statue at close range.

The power of brute force, supernatural powers, true skills, and spiritual weapons are all concentrated at one point.

Swish!
"Clang~!"

With a loud bang, the running stone statue was finally knocked back. After being stabbed by a knife, it fell backwards, staggered and fell to the ground.

A deep knife scar was clearly visible from the right shoulder down to the chest.

But that was all, the statue was not split in half.

If it were a bone demon, even a third-level silver bone would be enough to break it into pieces.

But this stone statue, whether because of the rule array or the strange object, cannot be destroyed.

"You can't do this."

call!
A light shout was heard, and a tall figure jumped from the roof and flew closer.

The man was in mid-air, holding a gilded stick in his hand, and he swung it first, creating numerous phantoms that broke through the air and hit the stone statue that had stood up again.

Dang~~!

The sound of metal clashing was deafening and could be heard in all directions.

Ripples were visible in the space, with water-wave-like patterns appearing centered on the stone statue.

Circles of shadows appeared on the surface of the stone statue, layer upon layer, as if they were separated from the stone statue.

The man wielding the long stick was not bounced away by the recoil force.

On the contrary, the generated shock force seemed to be alive in the opponent's hands. It was easily controlled and pulled like a wave, covering the stone statue again.

"Buzz~"

The stone statue was shaking all over, and phantoms kept flickering.

"Now!"

The person who came shouted, "Pierce these shadows!"

Swish!
Gu Zheng swung his sword and cut out a beam of light.

Chi chi chi~
The sword energy cut through the air, descended upon the shaking stone statue, and tore apart the phantoms from behind.

huh~
Zuo Lingfeng held a spear in his hand and stabbed out rays of light and shadows, shattering the phantom from the front.

The two men, one in front and one behind, quickly shattered the shadows of the stone statue.

Dang Dang Dang!
Buzz~buzz~buzz

“Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!!”

Accompanied by a series of strange noises and explosions, the shadows emitted by the stone statue were all shattered and dissipated, turning into nothingness.

Huh~!

A strong gust of wind hit the stone statue's head at the right time.

"boom!"

The loud explosion shook the entire street.

The entire head of the stone statue broke open and turned into pieces that shot out, causing a shrill sound in the wind.

In the flickering light, the body of the stone statue gradually dissipated.

It worked!
The center of the rule array was destroyed and the field began to fade.

Rumble~!

At the top of the sky, the void is distorted, and a huge invisible force is interfering with the separation of space.

The dim sky followed closely behind, disappearing little by little.

"Ha, that's it."

"Hongzhou, Xiao Xianya, thank you both brothers!"

Xiao Xianya let the gilded stick stand on the ground, and clasped his fists to express his gratitude to Gu Zheng and Zuo Lingfeng.

She is 1.7 meters tall, with an oval face, majestic features, long black hair tied into a high ponytail, and a dark red tights that fits her body tightly, making her look tall and dashing.

"Fengzhou, Gu Zheng."

Gu Zheng clasped his fists in return.

"Luozhou, Zuo Lingfeng."

Zuo Lingfeng responded in the same way.

"Fengzhou, Gu Zheng? Luozhou, Zuo Lingfeng?" Xiao Xianya's smile grew wider upon hearing this. He looked at the two men with bright eyes. "Haha, you two brothers are actually the geniuses from the neighboring state who are part of the 'Seven Demon Slayers'. This is awesome. We actually met here."

"By the way, brothers, are you both in the Heroic Body Realm?"

Xiao Xianya sensed the aura coming from Gu Zheng and Zuo Lingfeng and congratulated them, "Congratulations, congratulations, you two brothers are indeed geniuses. You have broken through to the Heroic Body Realm so quickly. Although I am also one of the 'Seven Demon Slayers', I am not yet a Heroic Body. I am still short of the Three Elements Combination and Spiritual Perfection."

"...I believe that Miss Xiao will be promoted to a heroic body soon." Gu Zheng bowed.

"Yeah." Zuo Lingfeng responded.

“It’s difficult.”

Xiao Xianya shook his head, "It's not that easy to break through to the Heroic Body Realm."

Although he said this, there was no sign of decadence or frustration on his face.

Gu Zheng didn't need any comfort, he just listened to her and greeted her warmly, "Since you two brothers have come to Hongzhou, I must at least let me show my hospitality as a good host."

"This one……"

"Don't refuse so quickly!" Xiao Xianya interrupted Zuo Lingfeng who was about to speak, smiling, "If I'm not mistaken, both of you are going to the capital to be promoted to demon-slaying generals, right?"

"Yes." Gu Zheng nodded. "On the way to the capital, I have to pass through Hongzhou. I accepted Miss Xiao's invitation."

"Is this right?"

Xiao Xianya nodded with satisfaction, looked at Zuo Lingfeng, and asked, "How is it, Brother Zuo? It's not urgent to stop by and go to the state capital, right?"

"...Sorry to bother you then." Zuo Lingfeng bowed.

"Too polite."

Xiao Xianya raised his hand and said, "Brother Gu is straightforward. I like him. He just says what he wants to say. It's really not fun to talk nonsense."

Zuo Lingfeng, "..."

Gu Zheng looked at Zuo Lingfeng, then at Xiao Xianya.

He didn't show it on the surface, but he was laughing secretly in his heart.

Zuo Lingfeng had met him many times before, and he always had a cold expression on his face.

If you can avoid speaking, do so.

Now facing Xiao Xianya, he not only said it, but his tone was also quite reserved.

Tsk!
"Miss Xiao, the field has subsided. There should still be some demons left in the city. How about we go and clean them up first?"

Let’s put aside the gossip, Gu Zheng suggested.

"It's natural."

Xiao Xianya said cheerfully, "My two brothers and I will take action together. We will make sure not a single Thunder Bone Demon will be spared. Let's go and clean them up in three groups. We can meet up here later."

"Okay." Zuo Lingfeng nodded, clasped his fists, turned around and left.

"See you later."

Gu Zheng also bowed, then he tiptoed, jumped into the air, stepped on the roof, and flew away.

On the way, I sensed the breath of demons.

Call ~
call!
The field receded and the sky cleared.

People who had been hiding in their homes began to show up.

Gu Zheng flew quickly, and suddenly, remembering something, he stopped and reached into his pocket.

When he touched the Sky-covering Leaf, he found two more leaves.

There was only one piece originally, but now there are two more.

"So, the special energy that Fat Tiger sensed refers to a piece of Sky Covering Leaf that was separated into two pieces?"

There are three sky-covering leaves in total, overlapping each other!
"good."

There were originally two pieces of Covering Sky Leaves, and one was given to Zuo Lingfeng.

Now there are three more pieces, making four pieces in total.

I have four Sky-Covering Leaves. Next time I encounter a Level 2 field, I don’t mind using one.

The ability of the Sky-Covering Leaf is indeed extremely powerful.

But if you come across a rare item like a scapegoat in the field, the consumption of that piece of Sky-Covering Leaf is equally worth it!

……

Crackling~
boom!
Electric lights entangled and burst out. Gu Zheng smashed the skull of a first-level iron-boned thunder bone demon with one punch, extinguishing the fire of its soul.

Soul capturing!

[Demon Points +9]

After getting the harvest, Gu Zheng turned around and sensed his surroundings, but did not find the Thunder Bone Demon again.

There were few Thunder Bone Demons entering the city.

After their patrol, the cleanup was completed quickly.

swoosh~
With a tap of his toes, Gu Zheng soared into the sky, stepped on the roof, and returned to the previous meeting place.

But halfway through the journey, he heard Xiao Xianya calling him.

"Brother Gu, this way, this way!"

Ok?
Gu Zheng stopped and looked in the direction of the voice, and saw Xiao Xianya standing in a small yard.

Whoosh!
With a flash of his body, Gu Zheng flew over.

It landed from the air and landed in the yard.

"What's wrong, Miss Xiao?" Gu Zheng asked.

"Look at that water tank."

Xiao Xianya pointed to a water tank placed in the corner, which contained a lot of water.

"Water jar?" Gu Zheng took two steps forward, his eyes flashing, "Is this... a strange object?"

The water tank looks ordinary, but its invisible energy is particularly prominent.

Gu Zheng glanced around with his golden eyes, and saw golden lines covering the entire water tank.

"Yes, a strange thing!"

Xiao Xianya followed and said, "When I first found it, I thought it was water or a magical object. After careful sensing, I confirmed that it was a water tank. But the water in the tank has also become spiritual water under the influence of the magical object. Brother Gu, I will give you all this water. In exchange, how about you protect me?"

"Dharma protector?"

Gu Zheng turned his head and glanced at Xiao Xianya, "Are you going to break through? Are you spiritually perfect?"

“Haha, I’m lucky. Just now when I was killing the Angry Thunder Bone Demon, I came across a Divine Yuan Fruit that had not yet dissipated. After swallowing it, my spirit was complete.”

Xiao Xianya laughed heartily, "When I came here, I found this water jar, which has the effect of breaking through the realm. We just happened to meet at the same time, so what am I waiting for? I will try to break through and catch up with Brother Gu and Brother Zuo!"

Gu Zheng, "..."

You are not just lucky, you are extremely lucky.

He picked up the Divine Yuanyuan Fruit one step at a time, and then he touched the Breakthrough Vat.

This opportunity is better than the one he got from the Heaven-Covering Leaf.

of course.

Xiao Xianya called him over and asked him to protect the law. It is admirable that he trusts Gu Zheng so much.

"You're welcome, Miss Xiao."

Gu Zheng remained calm and said with a smile, "Miss Xiao, you can ask me to protect you, which means you trust me. I will protect you, no problem. Please take back the water in the jar, too."

"Then I absorbed it directly."

Xiao Xianya said happily, "Absorbing this spiritual water can increase the chances of a successful breakthrough."

"That's true." Gu Zheng nodded.

"Haha, thank you for your help, Brother Gu."

Xiao Xianya laughed loudly, clasped his fists towards Gu Zheng, and jumped into the water tank.

The splashing spiritual water was retracted as soon as it left the water tank. Under Xiao Xianya's control, she was completely immersed in the water.

Gurgling~
The water flow is moving.

Ripples appeared and the invisible energy slowly dissipated.

"boom!--"
