Even worse, after a short while, a fragrant wind blew past the door and two women with gaudy makeup entered. One of them was the girl that Jinshu had met at that small powder shop.
Gu Qingli didn't know him, but she could tell that his heavy makeup and cheap dresses were all part of their deliberate disguise. Judging from her spirited eyes and graceful figure, she should also be a beauty.
The two women giggled. One of them took out a fan made of sandalwood from nowhere and opened it, gently shaking it. A very strange fragrance exuded from it, even covering the bad quality and powdery smell on their bodies.
As the fragrance wafted in all directions, Gu Qingli felt dizzy. She couldn't help but try to calm down, her tongue pressed against her incisors, planning to bite down the moment she felt dizzy. The intense pain would definitely restore her consciousness.
The fragrant wind did not contain the knockout drug she had expected, but it was still inexplicably dizzying. However, following the summons of Zhou Zhen and Ling Xinning, a few tiny flying insects appeared out of nowhere, flying up and down, gathering into a ball.
In front of the two of them, there was a mass of tiny flying insects that had changed shapes. One was red, while the other was blue. They gathered and scattered, showing a moment of splendor as if flowers bloomed in the sky, and the next moment as if there were raging waves on the sea.
Only the soft sound of flapping wings reminded the onlookers that this was absolutely not a feast for the eyes, but a silent provocation and killing.
The two girls looked very serious. The nebula formed by the tiny flying insects slowly pushed towards Gu Qing Li, but she didn't know how to defend herself. She could only focus on communicating with the Profound Gu in her body, hoping that it would appear and help her escape.
But the profound Gu was not so obedient, and only stung quietly.
Seeing that the nebula was getting closer and closer, Gu Qingli took a deep breath and forcefully circulated the air to rush through her body. She finally felt the signs of the Profound Gu awakening.
Zhou Zhen saw Gu Qing Li's eyelids droop and a layer of black gas covered his face. He cried out involuntarily, "Monarch Gu!"
Ling Xinning humphed coldly, "Make a fuss!" Pushing her palms forward, the blue nebula in front of her moved forward a little, almost stopping just a few feet away from Gu Qing Li. Her expression, however, became hesitant.
The light in Gu Qingli's eyes grew longer, and an indescribable pain shot through her body like an electric current, as if something had crawled through her meridians and bones. A black line rapidly extended from her arm to her fingertip, condensing into black smoke.
Black smoke formed into the shape of a flood dragon. It looked much larger than the last time he saw it. Although it wasn't solid, it had dense teeth and bright eyes.
Seeing Ling Xinning's face turn red as if she was unable to endure it, Zhou Zhen immediately channeled her inner force and pushed the Red Nebula forward. After they reached the head of the Blue Nebula, they advanced by another inch, and some of them were close to clashing with the profound insect, Phantom Smoke.
The flood dragon formed from black smoke suddenly leaped up. It opened its mouth and inhaled towards the nearest nebula. The nebula was suddenly missing a piece, like an apple that had been bitten.
As if sensing danger, the two never-melting nebulae started to panic, and some were caught unprepared and mixed together. This made things even more chaotic, as if the two Gu were repelling each other, and the phenomenon of fighting and colliding soon caused some of them to fall.
Zhou Zhen was a little flustered, the Gu worm in front of her had suffered even more losses. The first one to be bitten off was precisely the Crimson Nimbus Nebula that she pushed forward.
The most puzzling thing was that although that transformed flood dragon swallowed and spat, it was still an illusion in the end. Just how did it swallow that small patch of Gu worm, and where did it swallow them?
"Calm down!" The two intertwining nebulae returned to their respective positions and continued to move forward. The black smoke dragon seemed to be enraged and with a swing of its tail, it started to fight with the two nebulas in the air. This time, the red and blue smoke were attacked from both sides and the black smoke was unknowingly dissipated.
This move excited the mother Gu in Gu Qing Li's body. At once, she felt something rush around in her body, as if it wanted to break free and leave her body. Gu Qingli had felt this kind of pain more than once, in the Residence of Mo King.
She suddenly found it hard to breathe. She quickly circulated her true energy to counter the chaos, turning it into a counterattack. It was like a powerful force had hit her, causing her to cough out a mouthful of blood after being stuffy and messy.
Blood splattered, and the mass of nebula that attacked her was splattered. Countless tiny Gu worms fell to the ground, struggling for a moment before dying. It was as if her blood contained a lethal poison.
Gu Qingli staggered a few steps back, supporting herself on the nearest table. She waved her hand and struck the last palm in the air, disrupting the nebula formed by the remaining Gu worms, before spitting out another mouthful of blood. This time, a black, solid "insect" emerged, calling it a worm.
"Emperor Gu!" This was not the first time Zhou Zhen had spat out this name. She was gritting her teeth. She couldn't control the tiny Gu worms that were rampaging around, and she suddenly turned towards Gu Qingruo, her face ashen as she quickly formed hand seals and chanted a spell. At this moment, she seemed to have completely lost her noble demeanor, and her entire person was filled with killing intent.
Before Gu Qing Ruo could understand what was going on, she felt a sharp pain in her body. It was as if someone was trying to tear her apart. She didn't have Gu Qing Li's willpower, so she screamed and fell to the ground, rolling about.
Following Gu Qingruo's pained cries, her neck began to bulge as something broke through her skin, bursting out of her body.
Countless pairs of eyes followed the movement of the insect's bow as they opened and closed. The pair of wings on its back looked a bit larger than before, and it also had two horns on its head. However, it did not look like a dragon, but more like a flood dragon.
When the Crimson Gu first appeared, it drilled through Gu Qingruo's neck, it seemed like this Gu always liked to go the wrong way, and also came out from the side of her neck along the same road. It was obvious that this action made Gu Qingruo feel some pain, but she was already howling until she couldn't move, even her voice had turned hoarse.
The worm had wings, but it couldn't fly, but its movements were exceptionally agile and quick. After leaving Gu Qingruo's body, it bounced a few times on the ground, then bent its body and jumped. It actually used everything in the room to climb onto a table, then leaped up high with its back arched, and crashed into the Emperor Gu that was flying in the air.
Zhou Zhen could control Gu but could not become a Gu. When she controlled the red Gu to attack the Emperor Gu, she did not have any scruples and faced the Emperor Gu head-on without reservation. However, Gu Qingruo was already one with the red Gu, with the Gu in person, the fear and the feeling of being in danger from the red Gu were transmitted to her, she was suddenly cold, then trembling, feeling worse than death.
At this time, a thought appeared in her muddled mind. The controlling Gu Master did not care about her life or death, even though her main body was so weak and could not withstand the attack of the red Gu, Zhou Zhen still controlled the red Gu to its death.
