Myths Begin From Boys' Gong
Chapter 2596 Hong Gu, Heavenly Corpse
After an unknown amount of time, Meng Zhao finally returned from the endless military tent, and saw Jiang Zixuan and Hua Xin standing cautiously on one side like quails. In front of them was a beautiful woman draped in gauze, dressed in an extremely eye-catching manner.
Yes, this woman is very beautiful, very beautiful, with delicate features and a pretty and even face. The impact of her beauty is breathtaking.
Of course, Meng Zhao didn't care about her dressing habits, nor did he mind her unparalleled beauty, but the vague pressure she brought to Meng Zhao forced him to take it seriously.
Meng Zhao did not flee immediately. He walked slowly towards her, glanced at her, pointed the sword in his hand at the ground, as if he was on guard, and said,
"Who is your Excellency?"
To be honest, with Meng Zhao's current vision, insight, and knowledge, he was still a little confused about the origins of this woman who suddenly appeared.
At least, he was sure of one thing, that she did not come with him. After all, the group led by the Lord of the Demon Palace were all rough men, without a single woman, let alone one who was dressed so revealingly.
In addition, Jiang Zixuan and Hua Xin were standing aside, looking very helpless but extremely respectful, which made Meng Zhao have some ideas. Could they be the top powerhouses coming from the south?
The woman also looked at Meng Zhao in surprise. She smiled faintly. Her aggressive beauty was like the sunshine in warm spring, bright and gentle.
"You can call me Hong Gu. Like you, I came here to explore the battlefield. I discovered the existence of these two people and came here to wait for you!"
Meng Zhao searched his mind for the list of powerful people in China who he remembered, to see if there were any powerful female ones. But after thinking about it, he didn't think of a super master named Hong Gu.
But you can't be negligent when someone is in person, at least you must not neglect them before they show any hostility.
"It turns out to be Hong Gu in person. My name is Meng Zhao. I am honored to meet you!"
Hong Gu covered her mouth and smiled softly, throwing a wink to Meng Zhao.
"Northern Meng Dragon King, you are one of the two most outstanding people in the land of Shenzhou, and one of the two peaks of martial arts in the world. Although I have been practicing in seclusion, I have heard of your name. You are indeed a young hero with a miraculous figure!"
While speaking, Hong Gu licked her fiery red lips, whether intentionally or unintentionally, as if she was longing for something.
Putting aside all other calculations and background, from Hong Gu's subjective perspective, Meng Zhao is indeed worthy of her serious consideration.
His talent, physique, bloodline, luck, martial arts potential, and even his current strength can all be considered outstanding.
Naturally, he deserves special attention.
As for the man and woman next to them, they have limited potential and are not young. Compared with the zombies in this huge Corpse Demon Plain, they are not outstanding. It is considered lucky that they can mix with people like Meng Zhao.
Meng Zhao laughed, a shy look appeared on his face, and he waved his hands.
"These are all compliments from the outside world, don't take them seriously. On the contrary, although Hong Gu seems to be unknown, she lives in seclusion in the mountains and has unfathomable martial arts. She is really amazing. I wonder which school or sect Hong Gu is a master of?"
Meng Zhao was not a fool. He believed whatever the other party said, but he still tested the matter cautiously.
He actually had a doubt in his heart, was this woman a strange being from the Corpse Demon Plain?
However, according to his understanding, the zombies and corpse demons in the Corpse Demon Plain, although transformed from the corpses of normal human warriors, have obvious differences from humans, such as their dry bodies, skinny postures, neither life nor death, and those conspicuous fangs.
This woman was completely different. Her vitality was so strong that Meng Zhao didn't dare to spy on her easily. And she gave Meng Zhao a very strange feeling.
How to describe it? The woman named Hong Gu is an out-and-out stranger, and her martial arts are extremely powerful and her strength is unpredictable.
But it gave him a strange feeling of mystery, as if he was shrouded in a layer of fog.
Meng Zhao really wanted to get closer to her and explore the mystery hidden behind her, but due to his body's instinctive reaction, he couldn't help but be on guard and wary of the other party.
"It's not from any school or sect, it's just a family tradition. How come King Meng Long, a great master who is famous throughout China, wants to test me because I'm all alone?"
Hong Gu's dress was indeed a bit revealing and over the top. In the eyes of some people, it was considered immoral, but in Meng Zhao's eyes, it was actually okay. After all, he had lived two lives and had seen countless exaggerated and revealing outfits. Hong Gu's dress was just a little revealing, which was nothing.
Furthermore, he was now deep in the ancient battlefield space, and all his thoughts and ideas were focused on touring, exploring mysteries, pursuing opportunities, and accumulating the foundation for his entry into the supreme realm of gods and demons. He had no other thoughts.
Of course, the most important thing is that he already has a lot of women, and each of them is exquisite and beautiful. He does not intend to provoke such a woman with unpredictable martial arts and mysterious origins.
Seeing that the other party seemed to have misunderstood, he also explained,
"That's not the case, Hong Gu, please don't misunderstand me. I just want to learn about the martial arts and secret magic that Hong Gu is good at, so that we can combine our strength and cooperate more. It's good to have some support in this dangerous Corpse Demon Plain!"
Well, this argument does stand up to scrutiny.
Hong Gu nodded, agreeing with Meng Zhao's statement, and said,
"So that's how it is. It seems that I have been too narrow-minded. Please don't take it as an offense, King Menglong!"
After a pause, he continued,
"I am a celestial being. What I learned is the sacred text of the celestial being from the Middle Ages. It mainly focuses on the cultivation of the primordial spirit, spiritual martial arts, and mind cultivation. When dealing with these corpse demons, those with weak strength are not bad, but those corpse demons with the same celestial fighting power are not my match."
Meng Zhao remained noncommittal. The threat that Hong Gu could bring to him was vague and intermittent, and it was definitely not something that could be dealt with by someone with such strength.
But it is understandable. After all, it is the first time you meet, and it is impossible to tell the other party all your hidden cards and tricks.
Then he also told his story.
According to Meng Zhao, he is good at swordsmanship, boxing, and palm techniques. He is powerful and strong, so he is somewhat restrained in dealing with these zombies.
Therefore, in his opinion, if the two of them joined forces, they could actually have some tacit understanding.
Meng Zhao is the one who attacks head-on and takes the blame. He is considered a meat shield and assassin. He has both defense and output capabilities. Hong Gu, on the other hand, is the auxiliary who helps Meng Zhao defeat the corpse demon.
Meng Zhao had heard of the Mi Tian Sacred Scripture, which was indeed a magical skill that used spiritual martial arts and mind practice to touch the way of gods and demons, but he was still relatively unfamiliar with the details, after all, he had never seen this kind of kung fu before.
As for Hong Gu, she was unable to figure out the mystery of this martial art from her in such a short time, so she could only assume that her words were true.
Hong Gu smiled. If Meng Zhao's martial arts were just this good, it wouldn't have made her salivate. This little guy was very skilled in martial arts and had many hidden cards. He was indeed a delicious meal.
However, she is not that guy, and she does not need to deal with a top genius like Meng Zhao. In addition, although Meng Zhao is powerful, he is far from invincible in this Corpse Demon Plain, and he needs to be warned.
"Lord Meng, since you are young, I will be generous and call you Brother Meng. I hope you don't mind!"
Meng Zhao remained calm, of course he didn't mind. The name was just a code name. Even if he was called "dog bastard", as long as he was invincible, then "dog bastard" would be a taboo in the martial arts world and no one would dare to make fun of him.
"Of course I don't mind. Hong Gu, please feel free to speak up. I am still willing to listen to other people's advice."
Hong Gu nodded.
"Okay, then I'll tell you straight away. Do you know the name of this city, its origin, and the real danger within it?"
Meng Zhao shook his head,
"I don't know. To be honest with you, Hong Gu, this is my first time to explore this ancient battlefield space. The only information I have is from these two people. Could it be that Hong Gu knows all this? This is not your first time here?"
Meng Zhao seemed polite, but he was mainly curious. He could almost conclude that Hong Gu was definitely not the same person who entered the ancient battlefield space from the south with Jiang Zixuan and Hua Xin.
So, did Hong Gu come from this ancient battlefield space, or is there a third place that connects the ancient battlefield with the outside world?
Meng Zhao felt that both possibilities existed, but it was more likely that Sister Hong and the Corpse Demon Plain had an inextricable relationship.
“Yes, I have been here more than once, and this ancient battlefield space has been explored more than once a long time ago.
The real name of this place should be called Tianshi Ancient City. There are endless zombies and corpse demons in the city, but the main one is a Tianshi.
This celestial corpse is so powerful that it can easily kill Brother Meng in seconds. Even if a powerful god or demon comes here, if his Dao Fruit is not yet mature enough, he will be killed by this celestial corpse, absorb the power of the Dao Fruit, and increase his own strength.
Moreover, there are more than one god-level corpse demon in this ancient city of Tianshi. If you are discovered by them, you, little brother Meng, will be chased away in panic!"
Meng Zhao nodded. The Demonic Corpse Plain was just a name casually given by the people in the southern martial arts world. In comparison, the Ancient City of Heavenly Corpses was more appropriate. However, the strength of this Heavenly Corpse seemed to be extremely high.
He believed that this woman named Hong Gu had extremely high martial arts skills and should have a certain understanding and knowledge of her own martial arts and strength.
Based on this premise, she could still say that if the corpse attacked, it would kill her instantly. Even if it was not accurate, it was nine out of ten times likely.
What’s even more terrifying is that there seems to be more than one god-demon-level corpse in this Tianshi Ancient City.
Meng Zhao speculated that the corpse demon that had been chasing the Lord of the Heavenly Demon Palace before was most likely a corpse demon under the Heavenly Corpse. Otherwise, if the Heavenly Corpse had taken action personally, it would have been impossible for the Lord of the Heavenly Demon Palace to escape.
"Then, Hong Gu, do you mean that I should try to be patient and not seek benefits from this place?"
Meng Zhao believed that there must be great opportunities hidden in this Tianshi Ancient City, which might even help him rise to fame overnight.
However, the danger was also great, and Meng Zhao began to hesitate.
It's not that he really doesn't dare to take any risks, but after learning the truth and weighing the pros and cons, he realized that there were better options and there was no need to be stubborn and refuse to turn back until he hits a wall!
Hong Gu gave him an affirmative look, this time much more solemn, without the slightest hint of teasing.
“Yes, I can honestly tell you that there are actually no less than five places in this Tianshi Ancient City that can help you cultivate resources and opportunities into a god or demon, but each place is guarded by the power of gods and demons.
Especially that celestial corpse. Where it is, there is a hell flower originating from the Nine Netherworlds, which is equivalent to a complete Nine Netherworlds Taoist fruit. If you can swallow it, you can become a god or demon on the spot, and your skill level will also be outstanding among the gods and demons.
Not only you, even these two guys with mediocre martial arts skills can become gods and demons if they find the Hell Flower and swallow it, but they are not as powerful and mature as you, Brother Meng!"
Meng Zhao was stunned for a moment, and was filled with doubt and confusion. How could such a treasure exist?
A flower is equivalent to a complete Dao fruit. With a Dao fruit, one is equivalent to a god or demon. One can truly ascend to heaven in one step. What one takes is not a shortcut, but a ladder to heaven.
But soon, he calmed down and no longer had so many thoughts about the so-called flower of hell.
Firstly, the flower of hell was next to the corpse, and even if Meng Zhao had the courage of a bear or a leopard, he would not dare to snatch the food from its mouth.
After all, when it comes to realm and martial arts, Meng Zhao is a leader in the land of China and has few rivals in the world.
But in this Tianshi Ancient City, it looks pale and empty. It can be considered the top floor, but not the highest floor.
The risk is high, and saying that a narrow escape is an optimistic thing is true.
Secondly, the fruit of the Tao produced by the Hell Flower should be relatively simple, and it is difficult to tell how powerful the Tao is.
After all, there are quite a few Dao fruits under the Nine Netherworlds, and the martial arts of the Fengdu system seeks the Dao fruits of the Nine Netherworlds.
The five ghost kings, the ten kings of hell, and so on.
The power is still there, but the growth potential has been lost.
Meng Zhao is not an ordinary celestial being. He prides himself on his powerful foundation and being the best in the world. What he pursues is the supreme Dao Fruit. It is absolutely impossible for him to ruin his own martial arts journey just for a Dao Fruit of the Nine Netherworld type or for the so-called shortcut.
Therefore, he would never pursue this so-called flower of hell.
On the contrary, he was very interested in the other five places that contained nourishment for gods and demons.
He had no intention of taking shortcuts and ruining his martial arts, but he really wanted to search for resources and opportunities to make up for his own weaknesses and improve his martial arts and cultivation.
Meng Zhao's thoughts diverged further and he thought of another thing.
Why was the Lord of the Demon Palace being hunted down when he ended up in the ancient city of Tianshi?
He just didn't believe that with the strength and martial arts of the Lord of the Demon Palace, he couldn't move freely among the corpse demons.
After all, that is the orthodox sect of the evil demon path, originating from the Holy Court of Demons in ancient times.
Unless he did something, or tried to do something big, and angered those god- and demon-level corpse demons.
Otherwise, it would not be very difficult to escape, and you would not be so embarrassed by being chased. (End of this chapter)
