The protagonist is obviously strong but very cautious

The man wore a bamboo hat to hide his appearance.

He stood in front of Zheng Tuo, pretending to look at other things, but finally he set his eyes on the stone used to build the altar.

"Fellow Daoist, you have good vision. This is a gem that I found in an ancient monument. Using this stone to build a house will surely help you practice quickly."

The man listened to Zheng Tuo's endless words and finally uttered two words, "Price."

Hearing this, Zheng Tuo skillfully quoted a price, and the other party did not bargain at all. After taking out the corresponding spirit stones, he turned around and left.

Looking at the man leaving, Zheng Tuo did not follow him immediately.

He remained patient and continued to act as if he was doing business. When night fell, he packed up his stall and left.

I could sense a certain direction in my mind.

Get up and quickly go to that location.

A few days later, Zheng Tuo came to a valley.

Looking at the terrain of the valley here, he did not rush into it.

The terrain of the valley here is quite special, and it seems to have formed a natural formation.

Now at this moment.

Here is the man who bought his stone.

He turned over and began to measure the place and check the surroundings.

After making sure there were no problems around here, he stepped into the valley.

The valley has a lot of space and great scenery, making it a great place to live in seclusion.

When Zheng Tuo entered the valley, he saw the person who bought his stone.

The man was sitting on a big rock, seemingly waiting for him.

Seeing this, Zheng Tuo's heart skipped a beat and he thought to himself that something was wrong.

brush!
He turned around and tried to leave, but it was too late.

hum!
A formation descended upon this place, and fog rolled in, covering everything here and imprisoning him inside.

Seeing this, Zheng Tuo frowned.

The formation is so hidden that I didn’t even notice it. It seems that the other party has a master of formations!

He turned around and looked at the man wearing a bamboo hat.

"My fellow Taoist, it seems that you have been waiting for me for a long time!" Zheng Tuo knew that he had been fooled.

This guy must have deliberately lured me into doing this, which means that he already knew my plan when I was at the gathering place.

It seems.

The dark general's methods were really difficult to deal with. He was so smart that I was fooled without even realizing it.

The man sitting on the stone heard what Zheng Tuo said and slowly took off his hat.

Seeing this man's appearance, Zheng Tuo's heart skipped a beat.

This person looks very young, and he looks somewhat familiar.

"You are!"

Zheng Tuo wanted to blurt out a name, but stopped immediately.

"who are you?"

When he asked this question, he actually recognized the other person's identity in his heart.

This person turned out to be a younger version of the God of Earth.

correct.

This person looks like a younger version of the God of Earth. No wonder he himself couldn't see the formation here.

I have inherited the legacy of the God of Earth, and ordinary formations cannot deceive me at all.

And this young version of the God of Earth is believed to be proficient in the art of formations. Now it seems, how could this be the case?

Tao body?
He observed the other party carefully and found that the other party's aura was not strong. It seemed that it was the Tao body.

The Taoist body of the Earth God was actually controlled by the Dark General. He thought about it carefully and believed that unless the Earth God himself was willing to do so, there was no possibility at all.

The Dao body of a wall breaker is no joke, let alone an existence of the level of an Earth God.

so.

Although the Earth God in front of him is an Earth God, he is an Earth God without any memories of the past. That is, the Earth God used by the Earth God to test the Dark General.

After so much information flashed through his mind in an instant, he knew how he should face this guy.

"What's your name and why are you following me?" The Earth God spoke at this moment.

"My name is Huang Feng. I'm looking for the Dark General and hope to join the Dark Temple." Zheng Tuo said directly and watched the other party's reaction.

The Earth God's body did not react at all and was as calm as a deep pool.

"I don't know any Dark General or Dark Temple. I think you have found the wrong person."

"No, I didn't find the wrong person. You should be able to find the Dark General because you can build the altar."

Hearing this, the eyes of the Earth God Taoist body immediately flashed and looked at him.

Zheng Tuo knew he guessed right.

He actually asked the Earth God's Taoist Body to help him build an altar. If the Dark General knew about this, he would probably be surprised and unbelievable.

"What else do you know?" the Earth God Taoist continued.

"I don't know much, but before this, I met the Dark General, who allowed me to join the Dark Temple, but I needed to take elixirs. I don't have any elixirs now, so I can only ask you to summon the Dark General and ask him to help me get a elixir so that I can join the Dark Temple."

There was sincerity in Zheng Tuo's words, but his eyes seemed very calm.

"I cannot summon the Dark General. I can only wait for the Dark General to summon me."

"What do you mean?"

The Taoist body of the Earth God did not respond, but raised his hand and pointed to the altar not far away.

"The altar is right here. It has been built a long time ago. Unless the Dark General comes to find me, no one knows where it is."

“No one knows where it is?”

Zheng Tuo was thoughtful about this.

This Dark General is really good at hiding. No one knows where he is.

Logically speaking, if there are signs of activity, there must be clues, so how could we not know where the other party is.

As he thought about this, he came to the location of the altar.

Looking at the altar in front of us, some of the stones are very special and quite rare.

among them.

There is a very special stone. It looks pitch black and exudes an inexplicable power. If you feel it carefully, you can feel the breath of the Dark General.

"Daoyou, where did you get this stone?"

Zheng Tuo asked, but received no response.

Faced with such a situation, he didn't know what to say and could only wait quietly for the call from the Dark General.

The wait wasn't too long.

Zheng Tuo felt that there was a force gathering here, and then all the force penetrated into the altar.

hum!
The altar emitted a strange black glow, and then a blurry figure of the Dark General appeared.

Seeing this, Zheng Tuo suddenly realized.

No wonder we can’t find the Dark General. This guy has hidden his power here. As long as the altar appears, this power can be condensed to form the shape of the Dark General.

clever.

What a smart guy. He thought to himself and looked at the Dark General.

"Who are you and why are you here?"

Zheng Tuo was stunned when the Dark General said this.

"Lord Dark General, you don't recognize me. I'm Huang Feng!" Zheng Tuo said this, but the Dark General fell silent.

Seeing this, Zheng Tuo paused, wondering if the other party didn't recognize him.

He thought to himself.

suddenly!

There is a dangerous aura coming.

brush!
Zheng Tuo immediately dodged to the side, avoiding the attack directed at him.

Look back.

There were actually four men in black surrounding the place, trapping him in the middle, as if they were going to fight him.

Seeing so many people standing here, Zheng Tuo seemed to understand something.

"Huang Feng, tell me, who is that guy next to you, and why is he targeting me?"

The Dark General obviously discovered the trace of Zheng Tuo's real body, but he didn't know who Zheng Tuo was.

"General, I don't know what you are talking about. What people around you? I am the only one here!"

"Humph! I see you won't cry until you see the coffin. Go ahead and suppress him. I want to search his soul myself to see what your purpose is."

The Dark General's expression changed extremely quickly, and he immediately ordered the four men in black around him to attack Zheng Tuo.

Zheng Tuo flashed and avoided the first round of attacks.

He knew that no matter what he said, it would be useless. The Dark General would definitely search his soul. Once suspicion arose, the charges would be established.

hum!
He flipped his palm and a golden sword appeared.

With the golden sword in hand, he raised his hand and swung out a powerful sword energy.

The powerful sword energy was so terrifying that it directly cut a gully in the ground and forced the four men in black to retreat.

Seeing this, Zheng Tuo turned around and left.

He knew that staying here would be extremely dangerous. At the moment, it seemed that there were only four men in black besieging him. As long as he made a strong move, he might be able to kill the four men in black. In fact, there was a formation blessing this place. Even if the formation of the Earth God was only for the Taoist body, it would be a very terrifying existence.

and.

He didn't know whether the Dark General would gather more people to target him. He was better prepared for the worst.

His figure flashed like the breeze, moving quickly through the valley, trying to escape as quickly as possible.

But what he worried about still happened. The formation set up by the Earth God was extremely mysterious. At this moment, the formation turned into a maze, trapping him here and making it impossible for him to escape.

Faced with such a situation, he began to measure the place, trying to break the formation based on his understanding of the formation.

The body of the Earth God is, after all, the body of the Earth God, and it is still far inferior to itself.

Now, as long as he can calm down and break the formation, he believes that he will be able to break the formation soon and escape from here.

But I am willing to do it.

Four men in black came and attacked, extremely powerful.

Although they are now controlled by the Dark General, their combat effectiveness has not decreased. In fact, with the help of the Dark General, their combat effectiveness has been greatly improved.

At this moment, the four of them joined forces to surround Zheng Tuo. They each used their own methods to stop Zheng Tuo from breaking the formation.

"Go away!"

Zheng Tuo shouted loudly and immediately forced the four black men back.

On the other hand, the four men in black worked in perfect harmony and often attacked others at first sight.

They each performed their duties and continuously attacked from all directions. When the enemy advanced, I retreated; when the enemy retreated, I advanced. The subtle use of tactics brought out great combat capabilities.

Faced with four such tough and powerful men, Zheng Tuo was caught in a tough battle for a while.

He is now just a golden puppet, and his combat power is probably only about 50% of his original body. With 50% of his strength, he is simply unable to kill the four men in black instantly.

The four men in black are all half-step wall-breakers in strength. If he cannot kill them instantly, they will probably quickly repair their injuries and he will not be able to be killed at all.

The situation became very passive. Zheng Tuo held the golden sword in his hand and continuously swung out powerful sword energy.

The sword energy was everywhere, wreaking havoc in the area, and the four men in black were beaten so hard that they could hardly get close.

He is quite proficient in using the sword energy of the Sword Sect, and now he can use it with ease.

But the sword energy was obviously not enough to defeat the four men in black. With a thought, he burst out with sword energy, all injected into the golden sword.

The knife energy and sword energy merged and immediately turned into righteous energy.

brush!
The offensive force formed by the righteous energy is extremely powerful.

Pfft!

A man in black had his arm cut off on the spot, bleeding profusely and suffered serious injuries.

hum!
The man quickly repaired the wound and reattached the broken arm.

But if you look closely, you can see that there are obvious marks on the wound of the broken arm, and the entire arm has lost its function and cannot be used in combat at all.

It actually has such special effects!

Zheng Tuo was full of surprise!

Ever since he gained control of the righteous energy, he has rarely used it in battle.

Now at this moment, Haoran Zhengqi attacked and injured the opponent's body, which had such an effect.

It seems.

These four men in black are all evil beings with greed in their hearts, because their righteous energy has a huge killing power on evil creatures, and sometimes it is even comparable to the power of light.

Since his righteous spirit was useful, he continued to act forcefully.

Faced with Zheng Tuo's righteous spirit, the four men in black did not dare to take it head-on after suffering a loss. Instead, they dodged in all directions and attacked from the cracks, trying to suppress Zheng Tuo.

The two sides were still fighting fiercely, but the situation was firmly under Zheng Tuo's control.

even.

In such a fierce battle, Zheng Tuo was able to divide his attention to measure the formation here and find a way to break it.

The Dark General saw this scene and his face immediately became extremely gloomy.

"Diju, what are you waiting for? Act quickly and take him down." The Dark General ordered the Earth God's Dao Body to take action and help suppress Zheng Tuo.

On the other hand, the gods had been in the area for a long time, and they had no intention of taking action at all, and they didn't even look at the Dark General.

He sat upright on a large rock, expressionless, like a wood sculpture, calmly watching the battle in the distance at this moment.

"Dijiu, I'm talking to you, act quickly, what are you waiting for? If you let him get away, I'll hold you accountable."

The Dark General was furious, threatening to make his presence felt like a madman.

however.

Dijiu still sat there with an expressionless face, with no intention of responding to the Dark General.

Faced with Dijiu's attitude, the Dark General continued to roar and shout, but in the end still got nothing.

Seeing that his shouting was useless, the Dark General finally said: "Dijiu, I don't care what you are thinking, don't let him get away. This is my warning to you."

Having said this, the Dark General did not continue to give orders to Dijiu, but continued to look at the battle in the distance.

Dijiu did not respond and remained calm, watching the battle in the distance calmly. He seemed to like the battle at the moment very much, but also seemed to find it extremely boring.

however.

When he saw Zheng Tuo's strange steps, trying to measure his formation and find a way to break it, his eyes lit up and he finally showed some expression. (End of this chapter)
