After bidding farewell to Jing Xiang, Lu Jing and Xia Huai took up their Qinggong skills and ran towards the cave.
Along the way, the two also encountered many other magic traps.
However, compared to Gu Zhongling's two despairingly powerful flying swords, although these spells looked dazzling, they were still within the range of Lu Jing's ability to deal with them.
He was about to run to the cave and be completely out of danger, but at the next moment, what Lu Jing was most worried about happened.
I saw two small swords, one green and one silver, hovering in the open space outside the cave, as if they had been waiting for them here.
It was obviously less than ten steps away from entering the cave.
However, in the eyes of Lu Jing and Xia Huai, these ten steps seemed so far away.
The one-armed Gu Zhongling stood on the stone wall of the cave, looking down at the two young men at his feet.
It's like a king looking down on his subjects.
After a moment, he took the initiative and said to the two of them, "Don't count on Imukai. His Thousand-Array Formation was not completed at all. In the end, he had no choice but to kill himself to deal with me. Unfortunately, he was still a step too late. Although he was seriously injured, , but did not die immediately, and this also means... you have no way to escape tonight."
At this point, he paused and then looked at Lu Jing, "I want to see what the heart of a person who will not regret is like.
"How about we make an agreement? If you can show me your heart immediately, I will let her go." Gu Zhongling pointed at Xia Huai as he spoke.
"You are dreaming." The girl said coldly.
However, Gu Zhongling ignored him and just looked at Lu Jing with a smile, "This is a very good deal. The previous battle has proved that you two are no match for me even if you go together. Instead of dying here together, why not One person's sacrifice in exchange for another person's departure.
"If you are a real man, you should know how to choose at this time."
"Don't listen to him. There are only a few steps left. Let's fight out together." Seeing Lu Jing's silence after hearing this, Xia Huai couldn't help but become anxious. She had already drawn her sword.
He was about to step forward and draw a circle again, but then Lu Jing held down the hand holding the sword.
Lu Jing raised his head and looked at the figure on the cliff, "Senior Jing seriously... committed suicide?"
Gu Zhongling nodded, not hiding anything, "Yes, in this world, I was born because of him. If he died, I would naturally not be able to live alone anymore, so he thought of using this trick to deal with me.
"But now that I've seen through it, you don't have to think about this trick anymore. Well... let's stop the gossip. If you don't take action, then don't blame me for sending you on the road ruthlessly."
When Gu Zhongling said the last sentence, his tone became serious.
And his two flying swords also shone brightly in the air, looking eager to try.
However, the next moment, contrary to everyone's expectations, Lu Jing's Zen staff suddenly came out of his hand and hit the two flying swords in the air.
Although Xia Huai didn't know the meaning of Lu Jing's actions, the girl reacted quickly and rushed forward when she saw it. However, before Xia Huai could rush to the two flying swords.
I saw the two flying swords making two whining sounds after being hit by the Zen staff, and then they were broken at the waist, fell to the ground, and finally turned into two paper swords cut out of yellow paper!
When "Gu Zhongling" on the cliff saw this scene, his expression changed greatly, and he turned around and wanted to run away, but Lu Jing's movements were faster, and after just a few ups and downs, his people had already arrived in front of "Gu Zhongling" .
He reached out and strangled the latter's neck.
"Gu Zhongling" made a whooshing sound from his throat. As the illusion dissipated, he revealed his true face. It was the old man with white hair and white beard that Lu Jing had seen at the banquet before.
Lu Jing threw him to the ground and then jumped down from the rock wall.
But the old man with white hair and white beard obviously didn't want to just surrender. After landing, he didn't care about the pain in his body and had already pinched another magic formula with his trembling palms.
But as soon as his thumb and middle finger came together, they were cut off by Xia Huai on the side with a sword.
However, as if he couldn't feel the pain, he still screamed at Lu Jing, "You can't, you can't leave here!!!"
"I'm afraid it's not up to you." Lu Jing said calmly.
Before he finished speaking, he had already picked up the Zen staff that had fallen on the ground and smashed it on the old man's head.
This stick directly smashed the latter's head to pieces, and blood and minced meat flew several feet away, splashing onto the rock wall not far away.
However, the headless corpse did not fall down.
On the contrary, a strange scene happened next.
I saw that a new head actually grew out of the rotten flesh on the neck.
This method was beyond the scope of what magic could do. Lu Jing thought of some possibility and raised his eyebrows, "Isn't the thing you regret most the most is that you can't live forever?"
The white-haired and white-bearded old man's new head was covered in blood. Hearing this, he grinned, which made his smile look even more ferocious and terrifying.
"Yes, you want to kill me? Young man, I advise you not to waste your efforts. I am the first person to discover this place and have completely integrated with it. Mortals with limited life spans like you simply cannot Don’t understand…”
However, he only spoke half of what he said, as Lu Jing's Zen staff had already landed on him again.
His sternum was immediately broken, and two of them even stabbed directly into his lungs. But what frightened him was not the fatal injury on his chest. After all, no matter how serious the injury was, it would not be possible in a different world. It will also recover quickly under the rules.
What really frightened him was that his body actually flew up with Lu Jing's Zen staff.
It flew into a cave not far away, and rolled several times on the ground after landing.
When he raised his head and looked outside the cave, he found that Lu Jing and Xia Huai were no longer there.
But instead of being happy, his face showed unprecedented fear and unwillingness.
He looked down at his body and saw that his muscles and skin were shrinking and drying up at a speed visible to the naked eye until they disappeared, and he eventually turned into a withered skeleton.
As for Lu Jing and Xia Huai on the other side of the cave, they suddenly felt a spin, as if the whole world was shaking, boulders rolled down the rock wall, and cracks opened in the ground.
It looked like it was half the end of the world.
Xia Huai subconsciously wanted to retreat, but the next moment his hand was held by Lu Jing. Then Lu Jing inserted the Zen staff at his feet, took off the wine gourd from his waist as quickly as possible, and drank. The light inside fell into the mortal world.
Then before the cave collapsed completely, he grabbed his Zen staff again and jumped in with Xia Huai.
