Chapter 418 A Promise

Seeing that the time was right, Nangong Zheng said to Gu Sheng: "Gu Sheng, Ziyue's body still needs divine power to stimulate the sea of ​​suffering, so that she can fully recover. I plan to do the final healing for her personally, and you will protect her outside the house."

"yes."

Gu Sheng responded, nodded to Ji Ziyue, and walked out of the house.

As soon as Gu Sheng walked outside the house, he felt a strong divine power coming from inside the house.

He glanced over his shoulder.

I saw that Nangong was doing his best to heal Ji Ziyue's injuries to repair her broken sea of ​​suffering.

Sensing this scene, Gu Sheng let out a sigh of relief.

"call……"

If she hadn't met Senior Nangong, I don't know what would have happened to Ji Ziyue.

Fortunately... Jiren has his own destiny.

Gu Sheng's nerves had just relaxed a little.

But at this moment, he suddenly noticed a strange figure.

"Um?"

Gu Sheng turned around and saw that it was a boy about twelve or thirteen years old.

Gu Sheng's heart tightened and he walked towards the young man warily.

"Who are you?"

Gu Sheng asked in a deep voice.

At the same time, he secretly summoned up his divine power and prepared to attack.

After all, Nangong is currently recovering from his injuries with Ji Ziyue. It is at a critical moment and there cannot be any mistakes.

On the other hand, the young man just smiled slightly, as if he didn't care about the fluctuations of divine power around him.

There was a trace of amusement in his eyes, but he did not answer Gu Sheng's question.

A trace of impatience flashed across Gu Sheng's brows, and he made an attack gesture.

"Are you a hunter from around here?"

Gu Sheng continued to ask.

The young man finally spoke and responded with a clear voice: "Yes, I am the hunter around here."

After hearing this, Gu Sheng felt a little relieved, but he did not completely relax his vigilance.

"Then tell me, where is this place?"

Gu Sheng continued to ask questions.

"This is Qixia Mountain in the Jin Kingdom, a holy land for cultivation."

The young man said calmly.

Gu Sheng noticed that the other party's eyes never left the thatched house.

But his answer was consistent with his understanding of the situation, so he acquiesced to the young man's identity.

"Well, it's getting late, you'd better go back early."

Gu Sheng responded, then waved his hand towards him, urging him to leave as soon as possible.

However, the young man seemed not to hear Gu Sheng's words and walked straight towards the thatched house.

His steps were light and he seemed not to pay attention to Gu Sheng at all.

Seeing this, Gu Sheng hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him.

"Stop, you can't pass!"

There was still a faint smile on the young man's face, but when Gu Sheng was about to touch him, he suddenly took action, so fast that he could hardly see clearly.

"Uh-huh!"

He just pushed lightly, and Gu Sheng felt a huge force coming.

In an instant, Gu Sheng flew backwards involuntarily and fell heavily to the ground.

"What!"

Gu Sheng was shocked. He didn't expect that this seemingly weak young man could be so powerful.

He stood up quickly, the divine power in his body moving rapidly, trying to stop the young man again.

"Don't go any further, or I won't be polite!"

Gu Sheng warned.

At the same time, the divine power he stirred up emitted bursts of golden light around his body.

The young man stopped and looked at Gu Sheng, with a wider smile on his lips.

"Oh? Why are you so rude?"

Gu Sheng didn't answer.

He concentrated all his strength on his fists and rushed towards the young man.

A punch blasted out with a sound of breaking through the air.

"boom!"

A hint of appreciation flashed in the young man's eyes.

But then he turned his body slightly to one side and easily avoided Gu Sheng's attack.

Then, he stepped forward instantly and lightly slapped Gu Sheng on the chest.

Gu Sheng felt a huge force coming, and he was knocked away again and fell heavily to the ground.

"Cough cough cough..."

This time, he coughed violently, and bright red blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth.

"Your strength is good, but not enough to stop me."

The young man looked at Gu Sheng who fell on the ground with disdain in his tone.

After saying that, the young man continued walking towards the thatched house.

"stop!"

Gu Sheng summoned his divine power and flew over.

The young man punched out.

Gu Sheng's body slammed against the door of the thatched house.

"Crash!"

The powerful impact directly shattered the Jiangfang door, and large pieces of thatch fell.

"It's still useful to keep you, I don't want to kill you."

The young man said, raising his palm slightly, just waving.

The roof of the thatched house was ripped off.

"Brother Nangong, why don't you come out to meet your brother?"

The young man suddenly spoke.

"Um?"

Gu Sheng was suddenly startled.

He didn't expect that this young man who looked no older than him would actually call Senior Nangong his brother.

If you think about it, shouldn't you call him uncle?

wrong!

There is definitely something wrong with this guy!

"Why are you here?"

Nangong Zheng's voice came from the roofless thatched house.

"Let me see you."

The young man said with a smile.

"Senior Nangong, you...you know him?"

Gu Sheng asked in disbelief.

"Yes, he is the Peacock King!"

Nangong Zheng replied.

"Ah? Maurya?"

Gu Sheng's eyes widened in surprise.

He really didn't expect that the Peacock King who could bloodbath the Ji family was actually a child!

At this moment, a cold light suddenly flashed in the Maurya King's eyes.

He looked directly at Nangong Zheng, who was healing Ji Ziyue.

"not good!"

Gu Sheng's heart tightened.

The Peacock King is so powerful, if he is allowed to take action, both Nangong Zheng and Ji Ziyue will be in danger.

Gu Sheng ignored his injuries and flew up suddenly, trying to stop the Peacock King.

"Whoosh!"

A cold light flashed.

Before Gu Sheng could get close, he was hit by an invisible force.

His whole body immediately flew out and hit a tree nearby heavily.

"Senior Nangong!"

Gu Sheng shouted with some difficulty.

Nangong Zheng's expression also became solemn.

He naturally knows something about the strength of this demon king.

If he continues to heal Ji Ziyue, he may not be able to withstand the Peacock King's attack.

In desperation, Nangong Zheng could only terminate the treatment.

"Ziyue, your injuries are basically fine. You must practice more diligently in the future."

Nangong Zheng ordered.

"Well, thank you, Senior Nangong."

Ji Ziyue nodded and said.

Seeing Nangong protecting Ji Ziyue like this, the Peacock King asked with some confusion: "Brother Nangong, why are you so concerned about Ji's family?"

"No reason, just a promise."

As Nangong was speaking, he stood up and flicked the dust off his body.

"Promise? What promise?"

Maurya asked with some confusion.

"I have promised the Ji family elders before that I will take good care of Ji Ziyue and Ji Haoyue, so you understand."

Nangong Zheng explained.

"Ha ha……"

Hearing this, Maurya couldn't help laughing.

"Promise? What a promise."

The Maurya King's face instantly turned gloomy, and his whole person was filled with cold murderous intent.

"Peacock King, why are you so obsessed with the Ji family?"

Nangong Zheng asked in a deep voice.

The Peacock King said coldly: "I will not let anyone go from the Ji family."

"Why?"

Nangong is asking.

He was obviously surprised by Maurya's decision, as if there was some deep hatred between the two.

"You can ask him or her, they are both involved."

The Peacock King pointed at Gu Sheng next to him, and then pointed at Ji Ziyue with his chin.

As soon as these words came out, Nangong Zheng was confused.

It was as if he had become a clown at this time.

"Gu Sheng, what happened?"

Nangong Zheng asked with a slight frown.

"A few months ago..."

Then, Gu Sheng told what happened before when Ji Haoyue waited for the elders of the Ji family to besiege Yan Ruyu, the descendant of the Demon Emperor.

Yan Ruyu, the heir to the demon clan, has a simple purpose in hunting her down.

Just to kill all the demon clan without leaving any future troubles.

And now, as the powerful master of the demon clan, the Peacock King naturally takes revenge for all the crazy things in the past.

"How...how could this happen?"

Nangong Zheng hesitated slightly.

Seeing Nangong like this, the Peacock King laughed and said, "Haha...Brother Nangong, do you still want to stop me?"

Nangong was deep in thought for a moment, his eyes gradually becoming firmer.

"Peacock King, although I know that the hatred in your heart cannot be quelled, Nangong is being entrusted by the Ji family to protect his second son. I cannot abandon his loyalty. Today, I must stop you."

Nangong Zheng said seriously.

Hearing this, the Maury King's eyes became even more angry.

"Hmph! Nangong Zheng, you are asking for death!"

Before he finished speaking, the Peacock King swayed.

His seemingly weak body shot towards Nangong Zheng like a bolt of lightning.

In an instant, the powerful demon power condensed into two huge black light pillars, heading straight towards Nangong Zheng.

Nangong's face was solemn, his hands were in seals, and his whole body was shining brightly.

Almost at the same time, layers of golden light shields protected him.

"boom!!!"

The two forces collided in the air, making a deafening roar.

The entire space trembled, sand and rocks flew, and the sky was dark, as if the end of the world was coming.

Gu Sheng and Ji Ziyue looked on, feeling an invisible sense of oppression that made him almost breathless.

"Gu Sheng, were you okay just now?"

Ji Ziyue asked softly.

"I'm... okay."

Gu Sheng rubbed his chest, feeling a pain.

However, it seems there is no life-threatening danger now.

"Uh-huh!"

As soon as Gu Sheng finished speaking, the intertwined power of Nangong Zheng and the Peacock King suddenly gave birth to new power and attacked Gu Sheng.

Gu Sheng couldn't dodge and received a steady light strike on his chest.

At the same time, his body flew upside down involuntarily more than ten meters away.

"Am I going to be so unlucky?"

Gu Sheng cursed secretly in his heart.

At this time, Ji Ziyue hurriedly chased after him. He held Gu Sheng in his arms and shouted anxiously: "Gu Sheng, Gu Sheng! How are you? Don't die! Don't!"

At this time, Gu Sheng felt that his body was out of control and he was in a trance.

Suddenly, Gu Sheng's body felt a force, and after breaking free from Ji Ziyue's restraints, he was suspended in mid-air.

At this time, his heart was beating violently, as if something was about to burst out of his chest.

"Gu Sheng! Gu Sheng!"

Ji Ziyue shouted.

At this moment, a sudden change occurred.

A powerful force burst out from Gu Sheng's body.

At the same time, in his sea of ​​suffering, a heart emitting golden light slowly rose.

It exuded a powerful breath, which was the heart of the demon emperor.

"What! How did it... how did it come out?"

Gu Sheng looked at the heart in horror, his face full of confusion.

The heart of the demon emperor spun several times in the air, and then turned into a stream of light, heading straight to the horizon.

The Peacock King and Nangong Zheng were stunned. They didn't expect that the heart of the demon emperor was actually stored in Gu Sheng's body.

A trace of surprise flashed in the eyes of the Peacock King, and then turned into ecstasy.

"The heart of the demon emperor! This is the treasure of the demon clan. I didn't expect it to be stored in your body!"

He immediately gave up the confrontation with Nangong Zheng, turned around, and prepared to chase in the direction where the heart of the demon emperor flew.

Nangong Zheng frowned when he saw this.

The importance of the heart of the demon emperor is self-evident. Once it falls into the hands of the Peacock King, it may bring greater disasters to the world.

He didn't have time to catch his breath, and followed closely behind, blocking the way of the Peacock King.

On Gu Sheng's side, because he lost the Demon Emperor's Heart, his body fell from the air and fell heavily to the ground.

He felt an unprecedented emptiness and powerlessness.

Ji Ziyue stayed beside Gu Sheng and took care of him.

"I must get the Demon Emperor's Heart!"

A smug smile appeared on the face of the Peacock King.

Then, he formed a seal with his hands and muttered something.

Then he performed his unique skill - Stars Shining in the Blue Sky.

As the spell was chanted, the sky suddenly became dark.

Countless stars twinkled in the sky, as if the entire universe was under his control.

Stars filled the sky, and it was difficult to distinguish between the east, south, west, and north.

Flying sand and rocks, up and down, left and right, a chaos.

It was like an extra layer of blue sky!

Under the cover of this strange phenomenon, the figure of the Peacock King became erratic.

When everyone was not paying attention, his speed suddenly increased, like a meteor streaking across the sky, chasing the direction where the Demon Emperor's Heart disappeared.

Nangong Zheng, as a powerful human, was confused by this vision, but he was also a bit capable.

He quickly reacted and locked the direction where the Peacock King disappeared.

He knew that the Peacock King did this to confuse him so that he could take the opportunity to seize the Demon Emperor's Heart.

Nangong Zheng took a deep breath, turned his head and said to Gu Sheng: "Gu Sheng, you take care of Ji Ziyue first, I will chase the Peacock King, and don't let him get the Demon Emperor's Heart."

"Well, Senior Nangong, be careful."

Ji Ziyue replied first.

After speaking, Nangong Zheng's figure also turned into a stream of light and followed the Peacock King.

As the two left, the vision gradually dissipated and returned to the previous scene.

Birdsong, flowers, breeze, insects...

"Gu Sheng, come, sit up first"

Ji Ziyue planned to help Gu Sheng sit up.

Gu Sheng responded, and then was supported by Ji Ziyue to rest against a tree.

"Haha... It's really a case of searching for something without any effort."

Gu Sheng had just stabilized his body when he heard someone laughing arrogantly not far away.

Gu Sheng and Ji Ziyue's hearts tightened, and they hurried to find the source of the sound.

But after looking around, they didn't find anyone.

"Hey! Two kids, where are you looking? We are here."

The voice came again.

Gu Sheng looked up and saw the nameless middle-aged cultivator standing on the cloud with a smug smile on his face. (End of this chapter)
