C403 Ghost Flags
Fortunately, what they were worried about did not happen. Furthermore, there seemed to be a barrier between Lang Peng and Shui Qianrou, which surprised them a little. After all, only by tiring out such a strong team would they be able to obtain the greatest benefits from the trip to the ancient monuments. As long as their brains weren't damaged, they would generally agree to it.
However, the fact that the two of them broke off their conversation made them very happy.
Five days passed in the blink of an eye. Gu Feng did not leave his room after receiving the call. This was because the upcoming trip to the ancient monuments would be extremely dangerous. They had gathered more than half of the powerful forces within the Purgatory Tower and any treasure that had appeared would definitely cause a fight to break out.
Although Gu Shenwei's strength had advanced and stabilized at the peak of the first stage of the Soul Forging, he still had the strength to fight against a Martial Cultivator at the third stage of the Soul Forging. Even when facing Lang Tu, he could be invincible. However, when they faced opponents like Shui Qianrou or Lang Peng, they were completely outmatched.
Other than the Violet Electricity Divine Sword, his cards were basically useless to these people. His mastery of both cultivation technique and martial art was extremely powerful. His Heavenly Sword Slash was powerful, and was an Earth rank martial art, but facing such an opponent, he did not have the advantage.
Therefore, he needed to use even more powerful martial arts as a trump card. This way, he could have a little bit of confidence when facing these evildoers.
Speaking of martial arts, he did indeed possess a very powerful martial art. It could be said to be terrifying. However, his strength used to be weak and he could not cultivate at all. Now that he had broken through to the Soul Forging realm, he could barely do it.
Gu Feng closed his eyes as the Spiritual Sense sank into his sea of consciousness. In the deepest part of his Sea of Consciousness, there was an incomparably thick and sturdy pillar, and on top of the black pillar, mysterious rune patterns wound around it.
Upon closer inspection, it wasn't a pillar at all, but an enormous finger. The black finger caused one's heart to tremble.
Gu Feng's palm touched the black finger. Boom! His body trembled and the black finger turned into countless beams of light that floated in front of him.
The Demonic Sky Cracking Finger, such an overbearing name, carried a heavy pressure as it floated within his sea of consciousness. Gu Feng's palm hovered around the five words. Suddenly, light beams shot into his mind one after another.
Fortunately, he had already experienced it once in the second ancestral land, so it wasn't as painful as the first time.
"Phew!"
Gu Feng heaved a sigh of relief. Even so, his clothes were still soaked with sweat.
He sat down cross-legged and formed a seal with his hands. A series of mysterious runes appeared in front of him. Although these runes were a bit fake, when he looked carefully, he could see that these runes were the runes on the God Devil Finger in Gu Feng's Sea of Consciousness.
Rumble …
The space in front of Gu Feng trembled slightly. Those inscriptions disappeared before they were formed.
However, Gu Feng did not give up. Instead, he continued to cultivate. Finally, after two hours, the first symbol was finally formed.
The moment the symbols appeared, a demonic aura filled the entire room.
In the courtyard, the expressions of Shui Qianrou and Feng Qingyang changed as they looked towards Gu Feng's room. At this moment, Gu Feng's room was akin to an ancient primordial giant beast. It was emitting a pressure that would cause one to tremble. It was extremely terrifying.
However, that pressure came and left quickly. It disappeared in an instant as if it had never appeared before. The two of them looked at each other, not knowing whether it was just their imagination just now.
They really wanted to ask Gu Feng what exactly he was doing to be able to produce such a terrifying pressure. However, looking at the closed door, they knew that this guy definitely wouldn't come out.
The two could only give up.
On the morning of the fifth day, when a ray of golden radiance sprinkled onto the ground from the sky, the entire Grand Desolate City began to boil. Streams of strong auras spread out, and just by having a cultivation base at the second level of the Soul Forging, there were no less than one hundred of them. As for those Martial Cultivator in the Soul Forging realm, there were even tens of thousands of them. Such a terrifying number was enough to annihilate a mid-level empire.
The sound of people chattering resounded through the air. Numerous people's figures flashed across the sky as they emitted out sounds that pierced through the skies from their Grand Desolate City, flying several hundred kilometers away in the direction of a savage wasteland.
Everyone's faces were filled with anticipation and excitement, because the place they were heading to was a historical monument which belonged to a practitioner of the Soul Condensation and above.
"Why hasn't Gu Feng come out yet?" The sound of something breaking through the air constantly sounded out. Then, numerous figures flew over. In the yard, Feng Qingyang stared at Gu Feng's room and said with a frown.
It wasn't that he hadn't tried Gu Feng's room before, but the moment he got close to the room, he felt a terrifying pressure that forced him to retreat with a pale face. That imposing manner caused his heart to palpitate endlessly.
"What an impolite fellow. He actually made so many of us wait for him." Zhuo Chengping stared angrily at Gu Feng's room and sneered.
Shui Qianrou's eyebrows creased slightly, but she didn't say anything. Instead, a hint of worry could be seen in her eyes.
"Creak …"
Gu Feng's room door opened and strands of dark golden aura came out. That aura seemed to carry a mysterious power and was extremely powerful. Then the sound of footsteps came up. Gu Feng also walked out slowly and said with a smile, "Let's go."
Shui Qianrou looked at Gu Feng and was slightly stunned. She didn't know why, but she felt that Gu Feng seemed a little different from a few days ago.
It was an inexplicable feeling.
"Alright, let's go." Shui Qianrou shook her head and said with a smile.
"Swish."
The group turned into rays of light, rushing towards the ancient monument.
Just as they left, a cool breeze blew past. The room that Gu Feng stayed in before immediately became dust and completely disappeared. Everything in there became dust.
Just as Gu Feng and the rest were rushing towards the ancient monument, thousands of miles away on a blood-red patch of land, there were more than ten people walking on it. Their speed was extremely fast, and one of them had an expression of pleasant surprise and greed on his face.
A few dozen miles in front of them, a pale-faced young man held a blood-red flag in his hand. The flag was hung with a series of blood-colored skeletons. His empty eyes flashed with a blood-colored light that caused one's heart to palpitate.
The young man's face was pale white, and his long, blood-red hair hung down to his shoulders. The corners of his mouth curled up into an evil smile that would cause chills to run down anyone's spine. If Gu Feng was here, he would have definitely discovered that he also knew this young man with blood-red hair. Although his hair changed color, his appearance did not change. It was Gu Feng who he spared his life before.
However, Wu Gang's body was filled with an evil aura and his cold gaze made people shiver.
"Has it finally come? I just so happen to allow you all to become the first batch of dead spirits under my Flag For Summoning Souls. " Wu Gang's gaze looked extremely evil as it flashed with a blood-red light.
"Wu Gang, hand over the treasure in your hand." More than a dozen figures approached them, one of them said.
Wu Gang smiled evilly: "The treasure is right here, I'm afraid you guys won't have your lives left to enjoy it."
"Brothers, let's go!" The young man stared at the Flag For Summoning Souls in Wu Gang's hand with greed written all over his face. With a cold smile, he waved his hand and led the group to attack Wu Gang.
"Soul Devourer." Wu Gang grinned, with an evil smile on his face, he lightly waved the blood colored Flag For Summoning Souls in his hand. Suddenly, dozens of blood colored lights rushed out, attacking the incoming people.
The blood colored light carried a sinister aura, and directly rushed into the bodies of the Martial Cultivator s. Afterwards, the blood-red light surged out of their bodies, bringing a strange energy back into the Flag For Summoning Souls s.
"Plop, plop."
The lifeforce in the eyes of the Martial Cultivator s retreated, and their stiff bodies fell onto the ground. They were obviously dead.
"Tsk tsk, a bunch of idiots. They just happened to provide me with some power." Wu Gang said with a hoarse voice. He chuckled softly and exerted force with his palm. From within the Flag For Summoning Souls, one could see traces of blood flowing into his body through the flagpole. The blood-red light around his body shone brightly, and his aura also became tyrannical.
"Flag For Summoning Souls is indeed a good item. As long as I have enough souls, I can quickly raise my strength." Gu Feng laughed, and then his face turned sinister: "Gu Feng, just you wait, I will definitely turn you into a ghost amongst my Flag For Summoning Souls and torture you."
"Achoo."
Gu Feng, who was thousands of miles away, couldn't help but sneeze as he mumbled, "I wonder which bastard is speaking ill of me behind my back."
"You are so hateful. You must have offended a lot of people. Of course, a lot of people are cursing you behind your back."
Feng Qingyang looked at Gu Feng in disdain. This bastard had taken his room, causing him to live for several days on his bed. Just thinking about it made him feel pity.
Wu Tie rolled his eyes at Feng Qingyang. This guy's current resentment was too great. It was better for him not to provoke this guy.
"We will enter the Savage Land in front of us." Shui Qianrou's expression gradually turned serious.
Gu Feng's face also gradually turned serious as his eyes flashed with a hot light. That ancient ruin was in the deepest part of the Savage Land. The Ancient Desolate Land was also one of the dangerous areas within the Purgatory Tower. Not only that, they were all extremely savage. This place was also very special. If they were to fall into it, it was very likely that they would die without knowing why.
Therefore, whether it was the Martial Cultivator s outside of the Purgatory Tower or the indigenous people, they all became visible conversing.
"Swish."1
The sound of breaking air came from afar. The eyes of Gu Feng, who was about to speak, shifted slightly as he looked toward the east. A sonic boom could be heard from the distance. A Black Cloaked Youth, who was stepping on a Strange Beast, was quickly advancing, his body surrounded by a powerful aura.
"What a strong aura." Gu Feng's eyes slightly narrowed as he whispered.
