My beautiful CEO wife-Chapter 1493: Southern Border Gu God

"Hehe, Evil God, allow us to introduce ourselves. I am the Southern Border Gu God; the Soul-devouring poison earlier was my handiwork."

The old man in a blue robe, short and exuding a sinister aura, chuckled and said.

"Beihai Blade Man!" The man carrying the sword spoke concisely.

"Amitabha..."

The monk wore a Buddha-like smile and recited a Buddhist declaration, "This humble monk from the West Desert, some benefactors have esteemed me greatly, bestowing upon me the title of West Desert Divine Monk."

"It’s you guys."

Upon hearing their introductions, Xiao Zheng slightly furrowed his brow.

These individuals were renowned among the loose cultivators!

In the Martial Arts World, though loose cultivators were a relatively weak force, once strong talents among them rose, they could be much more formidable than the geniuses of the Sanctuaries.

The Southern Border Gu God, Beihai Blade Man, and West Desert Divine Monk were such individuals.

Indeed, among some loose cultivators, there were many legendary figures, even more terrifying than the secluded elders of the Sanctuaries.

"I’ve had no enmity with you in the past, nor recent grievances; why use such an insidious and vicious scheme to frame me?" Xiao Zheng asked coldly.

"Hehe, that’s something you need to ask yourself." The Southern Border Gu God laughed sinisterly, "Your prominence is too great, causing some powerful figures to feel discontent, so they want to eliminate you."

"Those powerful figures?" Xiao Zheng asked.

The Southern Border Gu God laughed heartily and said, "Evil God, do you think we would tell you that?"

Xiao Zheng nodded and said, "True, so I can only subdue you first and then inquire about this matter."

The Southern Border Gu God laughed heartily, "My Soul-devouring poison isn’t a simple thing, even for you, Evil God, it’s unlikely you can escape its influence."

Just as the Southern Border Gu God finished speaking, the brief clarity Xiao Zheng had gained by biting his tongue rapidly dissipated, and he immediately felt an overwhelming fatigue, his body swaying as if he could fall from the sky.

The West Desert Divine Monk showed a compassionate expression and sincerely said, "Amitabha. Benefactor, swords bring misfortune; you should surrender to lessen the pain."

Clang!

The Beihai Blade Man didn’t say much but drew his long blade.

Under the night sky, the blade’s edge glinted coldly, emanating a chill that sent shivers down one’s spine.

Xiao Zheng shook his head, trying to rid himself of the fatigue from his mind, but the heavy sense of exhaustion stubbornly persisted.

"Damn it!"

Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but grow angry.

Never before had he been unable to control himself, and this infuriated him greatly; the once mighty Evil God could not control himself.

The Southern Border Gu God, a Martial Saint for countless years, with his eyelashes empty, saw the flash of anger on Xiao Zheng’s face and suddenly felt an inexplicable unease.

"If this Evil God gets angry and uses some extreme measures, he might indeed counter the effects of my Soul-devouring poison," mused the Southern Border Gu God.

With that thought, a vicious look flashed in his eyes, and he shouted loudly, "The longer we wait, the more dangerous it becomes; let’s strike quickly!" Then he suddenly waved his hand.

Whoosh!

A large cloud of withered insects flew from the Southern Border Gu God’s hand, and in mid-air, they rapidly expanded, transforming into a swarm of plump insects flapping their wings and buzzing toward Xiao Zheng like a dark cloud.

The Beihai Blade Man’s expression was cold; he grasped the hilt with both hands and swung down towards Xiao Zheng’s position with a dazzling slash seven or eight meters long, rushing straight at Xiao Zheng.

The West Desert Divine Monk took the prayer beads from around his neck, gently exerted force, and plucked a few beads from the string, tossing them toward Xiao Zheng.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

The prayer beads emitted a brilliant light in mid-air, like Buddha beads.

In an instant, three masters simultaneously unleashed their terrifying techniques, converging on Xiao Zheng!

On an ordinary day, faced with such attacks, Xiao Zheng would not have cared, effortlessly subduing them.

But tonight was different.

Due to the poison and the extensive mental energy he expended in saving Chu Zhongtian earlier, his reaction time had diminished several notches.

Watching helplessly as the attacks drew ever closer, Xiao Zheng couldn’t muster a suitable response.

"Hahaha..."

The Southern Border Gu God couldn’t help but laugh triumphantly.

What of the Evil God?

In the end, under his machinations, the Evil God could only helplessly await death.

The Southern Border Gu God was already imagining the boost in reputation he would receive after word spread of killing the Evil God in this battle!

"No, no!"

Xiao Zheng suddenly shook his head.

"How can I die here so easily?" A fierce determination flashed in Xiao Zheng’s eyes, an extreme unwillingness that suddenly ignited a terrifying strength within him.

"Ah..."

A loud roar soared to the sky.

Though Xiao Zheng’s head was still muddled, in this moment of crisis, he devised a response.

Bang!

A brilliant light exploded, resembling a sun suddenly appearing in the night sky, resplendent to the extreme.

A vast surge of golden energy gushed from Xiao Zheng’s body like a torrent, rushing in all directions. The sheer might and magnitude of the Gang Qi were enough to alter the winds and make the earth tremble!

Xiao Zheng directly unleashed his Gang Qi!

Without care, he mobilized all the Gang Qi within him, adopting a wild and forceful posture to face the attacks of his foes.

Boom, boom, boom!

A storm arose out of nowhere.

The Gang Qi roared out fiercely.

Immediately, the golden Gang Qi surged out like a giant wolf.

The Southern Border Gu God’s insects, just as they neared Xiao Zheng, were engulfed by the rushing golden light, swallowed in an instant.

Squeak, squeak, squeak...

A powerless and terrified insect sound was heard; the swarm of insects that seemed like a dark cloud was directly turned to ash.

The sword light came slashing.

Then the golden Gang Qi surged, instantly devouring the Sword Qi. The Sword Qi cut into the Gang Qi with sharpness but was soon swallowed by the overwhelming Gang Qi.

Crack!

The Sword Qi broke.

Shattered.

Vanished in the air.
