After Gu Yuan pierced through the relatively intact body of the black clay statue several times, he still failed to find the core of the black clay statue.
Seeing this, Gu Yuan no longer insisted on killing the Black Earth Statue immediately.
At this time, Gu Yuan's condition was not good either.
His spiritual energy was completely depleted, and his arms and most of his body were blackened by the raging flames, with a faint aroma of roasting meat wafting from them...
Meanwhile, Gu Yuan was hurriedly drinking the last few bottles of good healing medicine. This medicine was very convenient for repairing the bodies of mortals, but its effect was no longer so significant for the bodies of cultivators.
If Gu Yuan hadn't already been a first-level cultivator and his physical body hadn't been strengthened by evil energy several times, he would never have been able to survive that explosion!
When the smoke from the explosion cleared, apart from Gu Yuan who was at the center, Shang Gongji and the evil creatures were not greatly affected.
The sudden, devastating blow that instantly killed the Black Earth Statue left both Shanggong Ji and the Iron Man Demon extremely wary.
The magical artifact in Gu Yuan's hand was undoubtedly...
It's a second-tier magic weapon!
However, Gu Yuan was able to control it at will, which suggests that this thing is probably like the Fire Shield, capable of storing spiritual energy.
The reason why the explosion just now did not kill Gu Yuan was probably because the excess spiritual energy was absorbed by this special magical artifact.
"Gu Yuan, what are you waiting for? Come and help me!"
Seeing this, Shanggong Ji hurriedly shouted, while Gu Yuan swallowed the medicine and charged at the Iron Man evil creature again.
Meanwhile, Uemura Ki, who had completely run out of supplies, slowly sat down.
His face was full of relief at surviving the ordeal as he looked at Gu Yuan, who had once again shattered one of the Iron Man's arms with a single blow.
Shang Gongji was still somewhat frightened.
If Gu Yuan doesn't succeed in the end, what will the outcome be?
but....
Was Gu Yuan just lucky?
How could he know the formula for a second-tier magical artifact, especially one that doesn't require spiritual energy to be used?
But it doesn't matter, as long as he kills those two evil creatures and leaves.
If the cultivators of the Shanggong family can subdue Gu Yuan, they can then demand that Gu Yuan "sell" the magical artifacts he possesses.
Even the recipes are easy to obtain.
As for what will happen to Gu Yuan afterward, that's none of Shang Gongji's concern.
This trip yielded Shang Gongji immense satisfaction, not only by gaining the pseudo-fire heart to recognize him as its master, but also by the potential to acquire a powerful second-tier offensive magic weapon!
Shang Gongji was extremely interested in the vajra in Gu Yuan's hand.
While Shanggong Ji was in a daze, the black earth statue beside him reformed its body.
It was previously scattered by Gu Yuan's sneak attack, but its core was not shattered. As long as there is enough black soil around it, there is still a chance for it to revive...
However, as soon as the black soil image solidified, its body suddenly convulsed violently.
A hoarse roar came from the body of the black earth statue, and the next moment, the body that the black earth statue had just formed collapsed again!
Immediately afterwards, a bloody and mangled figure burst out from the body of the black earth statue!
In the instant it burst forth, it raised one arm and crushed the core of the black earth statue!
The second-tier evil entity, Black Earth Statue, thus perished.
And that person...
No, that figure could no longer be called "human".
One of his arms was missing, but two long arms stained with blood and dirt had grown from his back.
His body was also somewhat bloated, as if something was stuffed inside his stomach.
It was a monster, like a demon.
"Delicious...tasty, live, I must live!"
The monster let out a hoarse roar, first lying on the ground licking the bloodstains.
Then he began to search everywhere, but Shang Gongji, who was lying on the ground, was not noticed by him.
It's probably because Shang Gongji's skin has been destroyed by the scorching pseudo-fire core, making it look like a cracked flint.
These things don't even look appetizing.
Soon, the monster fixed its gaze on Gu Yuan, who was dismantling the Iron Man evil object not far away.
Gu Yuan's body was also mostly destroyed at this time, but it was still obviously to the monster's liking.
The bloody, mangled monster was attacking Gu Yuan from another direction, a sight that made even Gong Ji's heart pound with fear.
"Ha, if you're here, let's all die together."
Gu Yuan sneered, showing no sign of panic whatsoever.
The iron-man-like evil creature in front of him, Gu Yuan, was not invincible; rather, he was slowly stalling for time.
I originally planned to lure the two evil creatures together and kill them after the black earth statue had completely reformed.
But now, the black soil seems to have died halfway through, turning into this strangely shaped creature.
Then this iron-man evil object would have no further use.
Gu Yuan knew exactly the weaknesses of the Iron Man Evil and the Black Soil Statue!
The previous offensive by Uemura Ji was not ineffective, but rather it missed the mark.
Most ordinary people, upon seeing the Iron Man's appearance, would assume that its head or chest would be its weak points.
But that's not the case. The weakness of this iron-man evil creature is actually in the soles of its feet, and it has both soles. It is born with the ability to split its core into two parts and place them in the soles of its feet respectively.
Ordinary cultivators, if they do not understand this characteristic.
Even if one foot is broken, they won't think about damaging the other foot as well.
The optimal solution from a normal person's perspective would be to break the kneecap so that the person cannot get up.
Unfortunately, Gu Yuan was well aware of the Iron Man's weaknesses.
With just two strikes, the iron-man monster let out a mournful howl, and the light in its eyes faded...
As the massive iron monster collapsed, Gu Yuan snapped back to his senses and plunged his pestle into the forehead of the lunging monster.
The monster twitched a few times and then stopped moving.
But Gu Yuan could sense that the monster was not dead, it was just temporarily unable to move.
Gu Yuan struggled to sit up, vomiting another mouthful of blood.
Intense pain came from my lower abdomen, specifically the dantian area.
Gu Yuan clearly felt that his innate multicolored spiritual root within his dantian was almost destroyed.
This kind of reckless fighting style is something only Gu Yuan, besides suicide squads, would be willing to do.
After all, if the spiritual root is damaged or dies, it means that the path of cultivation in the future will be cut off.
But Gu Yuan knew even more clearly that if he died, what future could he talk about!
"Cough cough cough..."
After catching his breath for a moment, Gu Yuan got up again and slowly walked towards Shanggong Ji.
Before Gu Yuan had taken more than a few steps, a huge stone gate gradually appeared in the center of the area!
The evil spirits guarding the gate are all dead. According to the rules, the death row has to release the people, and this is the reward for the victor.
The stone gate is covered with huge relief murals. The content of the painting seems to be a huge, evil mountain rock. Although he has never seen it with his own eyes, Gu Yuan guessed that this might be the "Lord of the Death Prison" where he was in this death cell.
Perhaps I'll have the chance to meet this behemoth in the future.
But now, there is another urgent matter that needs to be dealt with immediately.
Gu Yuan looked coldly at Shanggong Ji, who was leaning against the stone wall. Shanggong Ji smiled slightly, "What are you still standing there for? Help me up, let's go..."
Walk?
Gu Yuan sneered. Only one person can leave today.
