Volume 1: Questioning the Past Chapter 68: Soul Binding Rope, Dead!
A flying sword flew across the sky. Gu Xiaoxing felt something in his heart and swung the soul-binding rope in his hand, knocking away the flying sword.
Then his eyes turned fierce, and he took out all the explosive things from the storage ring and Miao Yunyun's storage bag and threw them out.
Xu Qianxing's eyes were cold. Seeing that the other party was trying to use the same old trick again and using such despicable means to stop her, he immediately became angry.
Not only did she not stop, but she rushed towards the violent explosion at an even faster speed.
Then, Xu Qianxing swung the sword in his small hand, and the violent fire wave produced by the explosion was split into two in the middle, and a path was cut out by the sword.
“Is this still a human being?”
This scene made Gu Xiaoxing tremble with fear . While secretly cursing Xu Qianxing as a monster, he ran even faster.
But gradually, Gu Xiaoxing found something wrong. He immediately compared the surrounding environment with the map in his memory, and suddenly found that they had unknowingly arrived at the territory of the "yellow" column during the chase.
Among the four pillars of heaven, earth, black and yellow, only the "yellow" pillar has not been used as a base. Gu Xiaoxing has not been here for such a long time since he entered the Foundation Building Mountain.
But he also got some information from other people. He heard that the place where the "yellow" pillar was located was extremely dangerous, and almost no one dared to approach it during each Foundation Building Mountain event.
As for why it was dangerous, Gu Xiaoxing didn't find out much.
But soon, he found out.
As they chased Zhou Bingding and got closer to the "yellow" pillar, the surroundings gradually became hot, and the surrounding stone pillars also turned red, as if they were burned.
Then, an open space appeared in front of them, and the view was suddenly clear. There were no more towering stone pillars, only... a sea of lava and fire.
It was at the moment when Gu Xiaoxing saw the sea of fire that he felt the temperature rise instantly and finally understood why it was dangerous near the "yellow" column.
Although he hadn't even gotten close to the sea of fire, the burning sensation on his skin was no less than being burned in the Sanyang Spirit Refining Furnace.
If we were to get closer, or even above that sea of fire, how terrifying would the temperature be! ?
In the center of the sea of fire, a fiery red pillar shot up into the sky. In this entire huge sea of fire, there was only one pillar standing, and that was the "yellow" pillar!
Gu Xiaoxing swallowed his saliva, wondering why Zhou Bingding had come to such a dangerous place.
"To get rid of me?"
Gu Xiaoxing thought to himself.
But no matter what, he must follow. Since the other party dared to build the Dao fetus unscrupulously, he obviously had some way to deal with it. He must seize this glimmer of hope.
Then he saw Zhou Bingding rushing straight towards the sea of fire. The horrific temperature even made his body burn, but he did not stop at all and crashed directly into the sea of fire.
However, Gu Xiaoxing clearly saw that before Zhou Bingding jumped into the sea of fire, he cast several vermilion talismans to protect his body.
Although Zhou Bingding looked like a huge fireball flying over the sea of lava at this moment, the people inside were actually not in any serious trouble.
Obviously, this was prepared in advance!
Looking at this scene, Gu Xiaoxing's eyes turned red.
The closer he got to the sea of fire, the more he could feel the horrifying temperature. The spiritual power that protected his body had been penetrated by the high temperature. His clothes turned to ashes in an instant. He was naked with only golden runes flashing on his body. His Sanyang Alchemy Body was still struggling to hold on.
"You filthy scoundrel, you are shameless!"
Xu Qianxing behind her cursed angrily, obviously having seen something, and then stopped with a red face, because if she went any further, even she would not be able to hold on.
Gu Xiaoxing was too lazy to pay attention to her at this moment. He just stared at Zhou Bingding who was flying over the sea of fire, and subconsciously used his own spiritual power to transform clothes.
For cultivators, they would use their own spiritual power to transform into clothes unless the circumstances were special. Generally speaking, they would still wear normal clothes, or if conditions allowed, they could also wear some immortal clothes and armor.
Gu Xiaoxing looked ahead, at the horrific sea of fire, with a conflict between his conscience and his desires, wondering whether he should follow.
But in just a moment, Gu Xiaoxing had made the decision. He made up his mind, took a big step forward, and rushed directly into the sea of fire.
In an instant, the already terrifying high temperature increased several times, and even his Sanyang Alchemy Body could not withstand it.
In a short time, cracks began to appear on Gu Xiaoxing's skin. The severe pain made him feel like his eyes were about to burst. He suddenly waved his hands and used the Soul Binding Rope to wrap himself into a ball, and only then did he feel a little better.
Ever since he practiced the Soul Binding Rope, it could be said that it had been of great help to Gu Xiaoxing, especially the trick of wrapping a person into a ball, which could be said to have been effective time and time again.
But at this moment, flying above the sea of fire, the terrifying high temperature seemed to be difficult even for the Soul Binding Rope to withstand, and the Soul Binding Rope showed signs of melting with a "sizzling" sound.
Gu Xiaoxing has a blood connection with him, so he can feel it even more clearly. I'm afraid it won't be long before the Soul Binding Rope is completely melted by the sea of fire.
But he couldn't give up. He had to catch up with Zhou Bingding no matter what. If he couldn't find a way to build the Dao fetus, even if he wouldn't be burned to death in the sea of fire, he would still die because of the Dao fetus.
At this moment, Gu Xiaoxing was already fighting for his life.
In the back, Xu Qianxing was very angry, but facing the horribly high temperature, she lost her temper. Finally, she stomped her feet and turned around with a gloomy face.
"Zhou Bingding, right? Gu Xiaoxing, right? I'll be waiting for you outside the Foundation Building Mountain. If you have the guts, never come out... Humph! Soul Devouring Sect!"
Above the sea of fire, the chase was still going on, with a big fireball in front and a soul-binding ball chasing behind.
Inside the soul-binding ball, Gu Xiaoxing clenched his teeth, obviously enduring tremendous pain.
It was not only because of the terrifying high temperature that seeped in from the sea of fire, but also because the Soul Binding Ball was constantly being burned. The outer layer had gradually begun to soften and liquefy, and it would not last much longer.
In fact, with Gu Xiaoxing's current physical body, he is not afraid of ordinary mountain fires and magma.
But the sea of magma and fire in the Foundation Building Mountain is obviously not comparable to those ordinary mountain fire magma, and the temperature is much higher.
Ordinary steel would probably be burned to gas and disappear in an instant here. The reason why Gu Xiaoxing could hold on for so long was entirely due to the strength of the Soul Binding Rope.
In front, Zhou Bingding was moving very fast, rushing straight towards the huge stone pillar in the center of the sea of fire.
A piece of land can be seen under the pillar, but surrounded by a sea of fire, the land looks like a red-hot iron.
But in fact, its strength is much higher than any iron or stone.
In a short moment, Zhou Bingding had passed through the sea of fire and stepped onto the land.
It seemed that because of the protection of those vermilion talismans, his feet did not feel hot when he stepped on the red ground.
But the other person was different.
The next moment, Gu Xiaoxing also fell onto this land. The soul-binding rope that had been protecting him seemed to have reached its limit at this moment and turned into soft liquid residue and fell off.
This soul-binding rope that had been with him for more than a year was finally damaged at this moment. The backlash, which was like the destruction of his own magic weapon, shook his mind and he spat out a mouthful of blood, and then he stepped on the ground.
At that moment, it was as if his foot was plunged into a frying pan. The pain as if he was being scalded made him jump up and down, screaming miserably.
But it's not over yet. Even though we are no longer in the sea of fire, the temperature is still terrifyingly high.
His hair instantly started to burn and his skin began to crack. The blood that flowed out evaporated in an instant and the cracks continued to spread.
It is hard to imagine how much pain Gu Xiaoxing endured at that moment.
"Humph, you don't know how high the heaven is or how deep the earth is. You dare to come in here without the True Fire Amulet!"
Zhou Bingding looked at this scene and sneered, "Let me see how you are burned to ashes."
Gu Xiaoxing's eyes were bloodshot, not only because he was burned, but also because he was angry. He said viciously: "Back in the Earth Spirit Abyss, was it you who gave Chen Changqing the True Fire Amulet?"
Surrounded by several True Fire Amulets, Zhou Bingding showed no sign of pain. He smiled and said, "Yes, although there were some unexpected events in the Dilingyuan game, everything went smoothly."
"So, you are the leader of the Soul Devouring Sect?" Gu Xiaoxing suddenly asked.
Zhou Bingding was slightly startled, his eyes flickered for a moment, and then he said: "You cheated me!"
Obviously, Zhou Bingding did not expect Chen Changqing to say something like "The True Fire Amulet was given by the Sect Master."
But even though he was tricked, he was not angry. Instead, he smiled and said, "Brother Gu, it has come to this. What can you do if you know about it?"
"Don't say you'll die here soon. Even if you can get out alive, it's already too late."
"Do you think the people from the Yujian Sect and Yunxiao Sect will let the Soul Devouring Sect go?"
Gu Xiaoxing silently added the Body Refining Sect in his mind. At the same time, he inexplicably felt that the words "Junior Brother Gu" from Zhou Bingding sounded familiar, which made him speak again.
"Who are you?"
Gu Xiaoxing didn't believe that the leader of the Soul-Devouring Sect, who had caused headaches for the Soul-Devouring Sect for decades, would be someone who only had the ability to cultivate Qi Condensation.
At this time, Gu Xiaoxing's skin had begun to crack and his hair had been burned. He looked extremely miserable.
Even though he had pushed both the Sanyang Alchemy Body and his cultivation to the extreme, the terrifyingly high temperature here was still constantly robbing the vitality from his body.
Gu Xiaoxing endured the severe pain and waited for the other party's answer, but saw that the other party suddenly revealed a weird smile.
"Junior Brother Gu, I have called you Junior Brother Gu several times now, can't you hear it?" Zhou Bingding suddenly said meaningfully.
Gu Xiaoxing was stunned at first, and then suddenly startled. Although he still found it unbelievable, he also felt as if everything had suddenly become clear.
Then it all makes sense.
"Did you guess it?"
"Zhou Bingding" smiled indifferently. Seeing that the other party wanted to say something, he had lost the patience to continue and spoke first.
"Alright, I don't have the habit of talking too much to a dead person . Letting you know these should be enough for you to rest in peace. As for the rest... go downstairs and see for yourself!"
After saying this, "Zhou Bingding" slowly raised his hand, about to end this farce.
However, at this moment, Gu Xiaoxing, who originally had a painful look on his face, suddenly had a cruel light in his eyes.
This made Zhou Bingding stunned, and then all of a sudden, he felt a black screen in front of his eyes, and his whole body fell into chaos, losing all six senses.
Sealed!
However, since "Zhou Bingding"'s cultivation was no worse than his, Gu Xiaoxing also suffered a splitting headache and even blood flowed out of his nose when he performed this technique.
But the opportunity was rare, so Gu Xiaoxing endured the headache and rushed forward without hesitation. While he was summoning the Zi Ming Sword, he also threw something into his mouth.
As Gu Xiaoxing bit the food in his mouth into pieces, suddenly, a strong vitality burst out, as if a well suddenly appeared in his body, a well of life.
It seemed as if infinite vitality was gushing out from the well, nourishing Gu Xiaoxing's almost dried body. Wherever the vitality passed, the wounds healed rapidly.
At this time, Gu Xiaoxing had already arrived in front of Zhou Shoutai, his eyes became even more ruthless, and he slashed down with a sword in an instant.
However, the power of the True Fire Amulet exceeded Gu Xiaoxing's expectations. His sword was completely blocked by the shield and could not move forward an inch!
In this short moment, the seal was over and "Zhou Bingding" had woken up. He looked at Gu Xiaoxing in front of him with a gloomy face, and then pointed with a finger.
Gu Xiaoxing was startled and quickly blocked with his sword, pointing his fingers at the sword. A huge force came at him, causing Gu Xiaoxing to retreat repeatedly.
As expected, sneak attacks are useless!
Gu Xiaoxing's face also darkened, and he looked at the other party and spoke in a cold voice.
"I should have thought it was you, Master Brother!!"
