Chapter 43

Without giving Gu Chen any time to think, the white ape had already entered the depths of the valley.

Coming here again, Gu Chen could still see some beasts in a trance.

They seemed to have abandoned their attachment to life and traveled over mountains and rivers to come here. With a splash, they jumped into the blood pool and never floated up again.

After a few days of absence, the blood pool had changed from its clear state when Gu Chen left, to a fresh shade of red.

It was like the cycle of fate. Any beast that approached this place could not escape being buried here.

"You, don't tell me you've found a grave for me?"

Gu Chen looked at the white ape beside the blood pool and said helplessly.

The end of the valley was a dead end. This blood pool was special, and the white ape's meaning was self-evident.

The white ape scratched his head and pointed to the bottom of the pool.

Gu Chen's eyes followed the direction and his pupils shrank.

At the bottom of the pool, he could faintly see the rusty copper door.

Gu Chen couldn't help blurting out. The strange situation that happened when he came into contact with the copper door last time was still vivid in his mind.

"You're not asking me to escape through that door, are you?"

The white ape nodded.

Gu Chen was silent for a moment.

The copper door at the bottom of the pool was very strange. The reason why this blood pool could attract so many beasts and even monsters to commit suicide was all because of the trace of power emitted from the door.

If not for the Tyrannical Heavenly Bone in his body saving him, he would have committed suicide.

Such a strange and evil thing should have been kept at a respectful distance, but now he had nowhere to go.

"Do you know where the door leads to?" Gu Chen looked at the white ape.

The white ape shook its head.

It did not know either. If that was the case, then this was really a bet.

"I'll be caught sooner or later anyway. I might as well give it a shot."

Gu Chen made up his mind. He took off his shirt and put it into the storage ring his mother had given him.

With a splash, he jumped into the water and swam towards the bottom of the pool.

At the same time.

On the cliff, an assassin from the Underworld God Palace landed and saw Gu Chen jump into the water with his own eyes.

"Initially, I noticed that the savage beasts in the surroundings were behaving oddly, so I came over to take a look. I didn't expect to meet that lad from the Gu Clan."

He licked his lips, his eyes filled with ferocity and excitement. "If I capture him, I'll be able to obtain a great reward, allowing me to take another step towards becoming an Underworld God Guard!"

Thinking of this, he leaped down like a roc and landed on the edge of the blood pool!

The white ape at the edge of the pond was startled. Then, it grimaced in pain.

"Where did this beast come from? Don't get in my way."

The assassin from the Nether God Palace glanced at the white ape and casually raised his hand.

Pu.

A fireball emerged from his middle finger and shot out.

The white ape nimbly flipped its body and fell into the water, dodging the attack!

"You're quite smart, but a beast will always be a beast. It's good that you escaped into the water. Let me take care of you together."

The killer sneered and glanced at Gu Chen, who was swimming to the bottom of the pond. Another fireball emerged from his fingertip and fell into the water.

Sizzle ~ ~

The fireball that should have been extinguished when it fell into the water didn't disappear. Instead, the water in the pond seemed to be boiling and evaporating rapidly!

Gu Chen was about to swim to the bottom of the pond when he suddenly noticed that the water around him had become hot.

"What's going on?"

He was bewildered, and the water around him quickly turned into wisps of smoke.

In a few breaths' time, all the water in the pond had disappeared, and he fell to the bottom of the pond with a plop!

"Squeak squeak!"

The white ape rolled to Gu Chen's side, his body burning up. A few wild beasts that had just died not far away were cooked, and the aroma of meat wafted through the air.

Gu Chen got up. He was fine, and he immediately saw a black-robed figure standing outside the dried blood pond!

"Nether God Palace!"

He took a deep breath, and his expression was grim.

In the end, he couldn't escape in time and was found by the assassin from the Nether God Palace.

With a clang, Gu Chen unsheathed his sword and immediately prepared for battle.

"Surrender yourself. That way, you'll suffer less. With your mere Physical Body Realm cultivation, you won't even be able to hurt a single hair of mine. "

The assassin looked down from above, stretched out his finger, and a fireball appeared.

"With your strength, I can burn you to ashes with just one fireball. This is the difference between a mortal and a cultivator."

"There is only death, and no surrender!"

Gu Chen said coldly, and held the Cold Star Sword tightly.

This was the first time he was dealing with a cultivator, and it was a battle of life and death.

If he wanted to live, he could only kill the other party. However, the other party was tens of meters away from him, and he would probably die under the other party's magical arts before his sword could even reach him.

He didn't know how to defeat such a strong enemy, but he had no reason to retreat.

"Stubborn fool. Since that's the case, I'll cripple your arms and legs. In any case, the higher-ups only said that you have to live, so it doesn't matter if you're crippled or not. "

The assassin revealed a sinister smile, and with a wave of his hand, the fireball was about to fall.

"Sou!"

Suddenly, a stone hit his head. It didn't cause any damage, but the assassin's face turned black.

"Smelly monkey, do you want to die?"

He looked at the white ape who was jumping next to Gu Chen and shot the fireball in his hand at it.

Swish.

The white ape was very agile, and dodged it in an instant, and made a face at the assassin.

This time, the assassin's face became even more gloomy, and with a flick of his finger, fireballs flew out one after another.

The white ape dodged to the left and right, and easily avoided the fireballs without any effort.

Gu Chen looked at this scene in surprise, and saw the white ape dodging while looking at him with a mocking gaze.

Gu Chen's heart skipped a beat, he had spent a lot of time with this little guy, and he understood its temperament very well. Whenever it showed that kind of gaze, it meant that it was about to trick someone.

"Smelly monkey! You dare to make fun of me! "

After his continuous attacks failed to hit the white ape, the assassin became angry and subconsciously took a few steps into the pool.

When Gu Chen noticed this, he couldn't help but squint his eyes.

He understood.

At this moment, his whole body was rapidly accumulating power, and his legs were tensed.

"Smelly monkey, don't underestimate my Five Finger Fire Catching Technique!"

The assassin took a few more steps, and was already deep into the blood pool.

At this moment, his body suddenly froze, and he was in a trance.

In his mind, an illusion appeared, and the image of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood appeared, and the thought of suicide rose in his mind.

"Die!"

While he was in a daze, Gu Chen's legs had already shot out, and the Cold Star Sword was raised, bursting with a soaring killing intent!

This sword was extremely fast, and Gu Chen had used all the strength in his body!

The blood pool had a strange power, and other than him and the white ape, the two beasts, even humans would want to commit suicide here.

The assassin's cultivation was deep, so he was not affected by the blood pool.

But once he entered the blood pool, the situation was different!

The white ape knew this place better than Gu Chen, so he purposely provoked the assassin to lure him in.

Facing a cultivator who had mastered spells, Gu Chen would only have a chance if he got close, so he immediately understood that this was his only chance.

The assassin was strong, and even if he was affected by the blood pool, he would quickly recover. Gu Chen didn't dare to gamble, he didn't dare to gamble that the assassin would commit suicide like the other demonic beasts.

Therefore, this sword condensed all the essence, energy, and spirit in his body. This was a fight to the death, and he absolutely had to kill the assassin!

If he didn't kill the assassin, he would die, and he wouldn't be able to change his fate!

Clang — —

The distance of a dozen meters was crossed in an instant. Gu Chen raised his sword high, and with a ferocious expression, he poured a million pounds of strength into the sword, and slashed across!
