Chapter 796 - 133: First Battle Against the True Monarch

"Cyan Wood Magic Sword, emerge!"

Li Ji’an called out in a low voice, and the emerald sword reappeared.

As soon as the magic sword materialized, it emitted a clear ringing sound. The Wood Spiritual Qi in the sky frantically gathered, forming a green sword domain in front of him. It collided with True Monarch Yanze’s fiery domain, emitting a sizzling sound of dissolution, surprisingly more imposing than True Monarch Yanze.

At the same time, the Invisibility Puppet lurking in the shadows silently appeared behind True Monarch Yanze.

At this moment, he was already shocked by the power of Li Ji’an’s Cyan Wood Magic Sword, losing control of his mind.

The long knife in the puppet’s hand gathered a fierce killing intent aimed at True Monarch Yanze’s back, and suddenly stabbed forward.

"Slash!"

The long knife of the Invisibility Puppet pierced through True Monarch Yanze’s Protective Spiritual Light, stabbing half an inch into his back, instantly disrupting his magical power flow.

True Monarch Yanze’s complexion changed drastically, and he was about to turn to counterattack when the Cyan Wood Magic Sword in front of him had already launched.

Countless emerald sword shadows swept in like tide, heavily landing on him.

With two True Monarch-level techniques released simultaneously, how could he withstand them?

"Poof~" True Monarch Yanze spat out a mouthful of blood, his body fractured in multiple places, and his Dharma Body was instantly severely damaged, with his aura rapidly declining.

The severe damage to his Dharma Body made it difficult to continue fighting, and the thrill of death awakened him. True Monarch Yanze made a decisive move, immediately urging his Nascent Soul’s origin, causing it to emerge.

A pale blue Nascent Soul flew out from the top of his head, surrounded by a pure Magical Shield.

At the moment the Nascent Soul emerged, it dared not linger at all, simultaneously spitting from the Dantian to release that Tier Four gilded Spirit Flame.

He hastily released the gilded Spirit Flame, transforming it into a gilded fire wall in front of him, using this brief barrier to turn and prepare to escape.

At the moment the Tier Four gilded Spirit Flame appeared, a sudden agitation emerged from Li Ji’an’s Dantian.

A wisp of condensed orange-red light burst through the barriers of the Dantian, irresistibly rushing out!

As soon as the orange-red light burst out, it rushed straight towards the gilded Spirit Flame.

True Monarch Yanze’s Nascent Soul was already prepared to escape, but his peripheral vision caught sight of the orange-red light, causing him to freeze in place. His eyes were filled with incredulous fear, leading him to exclaim: "This... this is an innate Fire Element Holy Spirit!"

He initially thought his opponent, like him, had merely captured a Spirit Flame by chance, but he didn’t expect that his opponent’s was a Holy Spirit.

Daring not to pause for even a moment, the escape speed of an emerged Nascent Soul was extremely fast, far surpassing Nascent Soul True Monarchs of the same tier. Using every ounce of remaining magical power, he desperately fled into the distance.

How could Li Ji’an allow him to escape? His eyes flashed with eagerness—preparing the Tier Four Puppet and refining the True Spirit Puppet required a complete Nascent Soul Divine Soul Source Core; the one before him was the perfect choice.

Li Ji’an unhesitatingly took out a Divine Escape Talisman and immediately activated it.

Simultaneously, sacrificing his lifespan without hesitation, he performed the Blood Burning Escape Technique.

"Boom!"

The Divine Escape Talisman shattered, enveloping his body with a strong spatial force. Paired with the speed boost from the Blood Burning Escape Technique, his figure instantly transformed into a streak of light.

In a breath, he caught up with the Nascent Soul of True Monarch Yanze, who had not yet fully recovered from the shock.

"Bind!" He once again deployed the Nine Dragon Lock, tightly binding the Nascent Soul.

He then directly threw it into Gugu’s Qiankun Ring.

During this time, the Little Fire Spirit had already devoured the unintelligent Tier Four Spirit Flame, and upon receiving Li Ji’an’s command, quickly erased all traces of his presence at the scene.

Once all traces of himself were cleared, Gugu had swallowed True Monarch Yanze’s damaged Dharma Body and their three Qiankun Rings.

"Go!" Li Ji’an flicked his sleeve and vanished without a trace.
