Gu Qingyang's laughter resounded throughout the forest, and in an instant, countless dark runes suddenly appeared in mid-air.
The hearty laughter never stopped, and the dark runes never stopped appearing. And those people naturally couldn't laugh anymore.
This jungle is always extremely dark because it is full of towering trees.
But at this moment, because of these runes, the place has become completely dark.
It was obviously the other party's twenty-seven people who surrounded Gu Qingyang.
But at this moment, as Gu Qingyang took action, the scene gave people the feeling that these people were surrounded by Gu Qingyang alone.
However, the appearance of these runes is only the beginning. Because of the way these runes appeared, other things also appeared.
In the darkness, weapons suddenly appeared. They were simple in shape and exuded a terrifying sharpness.
Next to these weapons, there are clusters of white shimmers emerging like a tide.
Looking carefully, it is not difficult to find that these shimmers are actually lines of light.
However, these light patterns are criss-crossed and have become runes, so they naturally appear in clusters.
But at this moment, those weapons were the magical weapons that had been sacrificed.
There are also those runes, those spiritual runes sacrificed by Gu Qingyang in advance.
Both of them were induced by Gu Qingyang through his own means.
Although it can be said that these magical instruments and spiritual talismans are the inheritance collected in the Hanging Coffin Sutra Pavilion.
There was no one he didn’t know who was present. But at this moment, Gu Qingyang has proven to them what it means, quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes.
For those twenty-seven people, there was nothing they didn't recognize about those magic weapons and spiritual talismans. On weekdays, they also look down upon these means.
Because the power of these methods is really average. Logically speaking, only those who are new to the sect may value these methods.
But now, when they faced Gu Qingyang's methods, the only thing they felt was that their scalps were numb and their hands and feet were cold.
"Fellow Taoist, can you-"
"cannot."
"Fellow Taoist, I haven't finished speaking yet—"
"It goes without saying."
Feeling the terrifying pressure emanating from those magic weapons and talismans, the only one among the twenty-seven without a red name was still trying to speak.
Gu Qingyang could see that this man obviously wanted to struggle again. Because his decisive victory was achieved and they had already lost.
Next, if they fight forcefully, at least half of these people will die.
The remaining half of the people, even if they do not die immediately, will be seriously injured.
This person obviously didn't want to do this, so he wanted to struggle again.
But, how could Gu Qingyang give such a person a chance?
The other party spoke twice, and the only response Gu Qingyang could give was two rejections. While replying to the other party, Gu Qingyang also took action.
"boom--"
As earth-shaking roars resounded through the sky, huge trees fell to the ground on this battlefield.
The giant tree that was relatively close to Gu Qingyang and the others was blown into ashes by the terrifying spiritual power in an instant.
At the same time, Gu Qingyang's identity jade badge also turned red. This means that Gu Qingyang has also become a famous person.
On top of the status jade token, the number belonging to Gu Qingyang is still rising uncontrollably. And these are what Gu Qingyang deserves.
"Boom, boom, boom, boom -"
After all, Gu Qingyang's injuries became more serious because of his own crazy offensive.
However, at this moment, Gu Qingyang changed his previous fighting method.
The pitch-black dagger was thrown out by him as if it was free of charge.
This kind of knife was also something he refined from lightning strike wood.
At the beginning of refining, Gu Qingyang had no intention of using this thing for long-term use.
As early as that time, Gu Qingyang had carved the explosive technique inside each short sword.
When necessary, this thing is not a knife, but a must-kill thing.
To be honest, when fighting these people, the choices he made were really too dangerous.
In the beginning, sacrificing those magic weapons and talismans was just the beginning.
When Gu Qingyang didn't tempt them, they could protect Gu Qingyang's body.
And when Gu Qingyang activates them, especially like now, he directly activates all the trump cards without distinguishing between friend and foe.
This is completely a trick that can injure the enemy a thousand times and damage oneself eight hundred times. These men were doomed, and he himself was no better.
Because he also withstood the impact of the explosion, and it was no less than others.
However, he has the God-Swallowing Demon Bone, and his physique is no longer what it was before.
Therefore, Gu Qingyang was also gambling. Just like what he said at the beginning.
He is willing to use his life to gamble on the possibility of victory.
Now, in this sense, Gu Qingyang has indeed succeeded. Although, he himself ended up in a half-dead state as a result.
"call--"
"Really, what a madman!"
When the explosion ended, all the magic weapons and talismans had disappeared. And those bone cultivators also turned into corpses that were beyond recognition.
Just when everything fell into silence, a hand suddenly stretched out from the corpses and kept pushing the corpses.
And a moment later, a man covered in bruises naturally rushed out from among the many corpses.
However, this person hasn't finished complaining about Gu Qingyang yet. When he raised his head, he saw an embarrassed young man smiling at him.
"ah--"
"Chi——"
Seeing Gu Qingyang again, the man couldn't help but let out a scream. However, Gu Qingyang did not give him too many opportunities.
In just a moment, Gu Qingyang's hand penetrated his chest. In the other party's horrified eyes, a heart was broken.
After doing this, the numbers on Gu Qingyang's identity jade plaque also started another round of crazy rises.
Gu Qingyang, however, looked around slowly. After confirming that there were no enemies, he slowly took out a dark object.
It was clearly a piece of lightning-strike wood, but this was not an ordinary lightning-strike wood, but a fine piece of lightning-strike wood.
It contains extremely powerful life essence, as well as rich and unusually rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
This thing should be an excellent choice to help with spiritual practice.
But now, Gu Qingyang has no choice.
This is a secret world, where the situation changes rapidly.
Although, the trial point is the most important thing.
But compared to the trial point, life is a more important thing.
There is a saying that if you have money, you have no life to spend it.
This sentence comes from the mortal world. It is very straightforward, but it is also a wise principle.
Gu Qingyang knew that even under his investigation, he did not find any enemies.
But maybe there is someone who is good at concealment, hiding in the dark, currently sizing him up and estimating his combat power.
Maybe, someone is thinking about whether they can eat themselves in this state. This kind of thing doesn't seem to happen.
But in fact, only God knows whether it will happen or not.
But Gu Qingyang also knew that the elders of the Hanging Coffin Gu Sect must still be watching.
Theoretically speaking, everything that happens in this secret world cannot escape the eyes of these old monsters.
Because this secret world is originally a world created by the ancestors of the Hanging Coffin Ancient Sect using ancient space methods bit by bit.
Everything here has a deep connection with the ancient hanging coffin sect.
Therefore, the lightning striking the wood was also deliberately revealed by Gu Qingyang.
After all, he came to participate in this secret trial just to show off some of his strength.
While showing strength, something that can prove the source of strength is also more important.
After the trial in this secret realm was over, he didn't want to be remembered by a bunch of old guys and live a life of never-ending peace.
"The secrets I have shown now are probably not enough, right?"
After a moment of silence, Gu Qingyang had clearly seen his current situation.
He took the lightning strike wood in his hand, deduced it from the God-Swallowing Ancient Demonic Scripture, and started refining it like crazy.
Soon, strands of life essence overflowed from it and filled his whole body.
"This, this is such a waste of natural resources!"
"It's just, what a waste."
"I never thought he would have such an opportunity!"
…
At the same time, in the outside world, a group of elders from the Hanging Coffin Ancient Sect had already exploded. They really didn't expect that Gu Qingyang still had this thing.
Although it is said that this lightning struck tree was transformed from a burial tree in the Deciduous Mountains. In essence, it is still something from their ancient hanging coffin sect.
However, they threw him into the Luoye Mountains back then. From that moment on, adapting measures to local conditions was the choice they gave Gu Qingyang.
Therefore, even though they all covet this lightning strike wood. At this moment, they can no longer show any strange reactions.
Face is still needed.
However, while marveling, many of them have also begun to figure out how to get some lightning strike wood from Gu Qingyang.
As for the old man Tianshi, he stared at Gu Qingyang.
There is no doubt that he is definitely the most sober among all the elders.
But now, he was doubting and guessing what kind of trump cards Gu Qingyang had.
He was already convinced that Gu Qingyang got something from that natural disaster.
And is this thing really just some lightning-struck wood?
As time goes by, more and more elders talk about Gu Qingyang.
At the beginning, many people didn't even have an impression of Gu Qingyang.
Even if he had an impression, he would only remember Gu Qingyang as a waste.
But in this trial, Gu Qingyang did bring them many surprises.
Therefore, they also paid some attention to this underappreciated disciple.
But they didn't know that Gu Qingyang had always known that they were paying attention to him.
"call--"
"call--"
Sitting quietly next to the corpses of the bone cultivators, Gu Qingyang exhaled several breaths in succession.
At this moment, his physical injuries have recovered to some extent.
But the way he showed it was that he still looked seriously injured.
And at the next moment, a bunch of blood suddenly appeared on his body.
At the same time, runes began to appear around him.
An unprecedented aura began to permeate around him.
And all of this gives people a natural feeling.
"This, isn't this an epiphany?"
At the elders' table, there was even an exclamation that suddenly rang out.
…
