I Accumulate Spirit Roots for My Next Life

Chapter 293: Chapter 176: Ambush on the True Lord (Part 2)

After trying briefly, he ultimately revealed his powerlessness and was unwilling to give up.

This made the Withered Disc True Monarch even more proud.

“Young master, do you believe it now?”

Li Jizhou showed a look of panic, “True Monarch, must it come to this?”

“Hmph, still hiding your true form?” the Withered Disc True Monarch suddenly shouted harshly.

Li Jizhou’s body trembled slightly, he sighed and touched his cheek with his hand.

Immediately, the appearance of the Gu family cultivator faded away,

and the appearance of Master Huangshi was revealed.

However, this time only the fourth layer of annual rings released Master Huangshi’s essence blood, but the aura was not released, it was Li Jizhou’s original aura, matching the aura caught by the Withered Disc True Monarch ten years ago.

“Tsk, tsk, what a pity, what a pity, this monarch doesn’t like rough ones, only refined male cultivators. You are not qualified to be my favorite!” The Withered Disc True Monarch first sensed the aura Li Jizhou was emitting and nodded with satisfaction, finding it to be the same as the aura captured ten years ago.

Then she shook her head while scrutinizing the now-revealed face of Master Huangshi.

“True Monarch!” Li Jizhou was instantly terrified, and his voice even had a hint of pleading.

However, the Withered Disc True Monarch’s expression changed fiercely, and a green light shot forth from her hand: “Hmph, ugly men deserve to die, die for me!”

Damn it!

Li Jizhou instantly cursed.

He cursed not only her lack of martial virtue,

but also her judgment based on appearance.

He never expected that this renowned Withered Disc Gu Demon was actually a sickly, charming woman with a twisted heart!

“Boom!”

The green light shot forward, and suddenly a Bronze Shield appeared in front of Li Jizhou.

This shield belonged to a member of the Hongtian team.

Back when the puppet entered the underground palace, he casually put it into his storage bag.

The Top-Grade Spiritual Artifact naturally posed no problem against the Withered Disc True Monarch, whose realm had fallen and magical power was unstable.

Following a loud crash, Li Jizhou only symbolically took three steps back.

The Withered Disc True Monarch’s face turned cold, but she wasn’t overly surprised.

For Li Jizhou to be the first to expose the Corpse Nourishment incident in the Southern Domain, it would be abnormal if he had no trump cards.

“Heh!” The Withered Disc True Monarch sneered, transforming into a green light and flying forward.

The next moment, a seemingly delicate jade hand, imbued with violent majesty, imprinted onto Li Jizhou’s Bronze Shield.

“Boom!” Instantly, the Top-Grade Spiritual Artifact shattered, and Li Jizhou flew several yards backward as the shield broke.

“Hmph! Overestimating your abilities like an ant trying to stop a chariot!” Withered Disc glanced at the shattered Bronze Shield, unreserved disdain in her voice.

Although her realm had fallen, she was, after all, a Nascent Soul True Monarch. Requiring close combat already made her feel a bit angry.

Li Jizhou landed somewhat panic-stricken, the terror on his face still not receding, though he felt more relaxed inside.

In that recent blow, he clearly sensed the magical power within the opponent’s dantian was unstable.

While the blow seemed fierce enough to shatter the Top-Grade Spiritual Artifact, in truth, the Bronze Shield already had cracks; even his full-force strike might have shattered it.

If this was the extent of the opponent’s power, why should he fear?

However, the opponent was a Gu Master after all, and her real trump card was the Gu insects.

And there was also that captured Divine Gu Hundred Flowers Bee.

So, Li Jizhou had been waiting all along.

Waiting for her to enter the buried place of the talisman array, and to put some distance between them.

It was at this moment!

“Boom!”

As the Withered Disc True Monarch watched Li Jizhou fly backward, his figure disheveled, she had no suspicions. However, just as she was preparing to finish off Li Jizhou, a magnificent aura suddenly erupted beneath her feet.

Before she could react, eighteen colorful divine lights flashed.

The next instant, eighteen talismans, each exuding different auras and extraordinary power, all reached Tier Three Advanced Level with diverse effects, soared mid-air and rotated in order.

The eighteen talismans, complete with the five elements, were fully functional.

There were Defense Talismans connecting with the power of the earth, Fire-Attack Talismans summoning Celestial Fire, Sharp Golden Saber Talismans… as well as Immobilization Talismans, Soul-Banning Talismans, Ice Freeze Talismans, and other auxiliary talismans.

In an instant, the eighteen talismans connected, constructing an unprecedented array, enveloping the surrounding area for several yards.

“Little thief, daring to plot against this monarch!” At this moment, the Withered Disc True Monarch’s expression changed abruptly.

Meanwhile, Li Jizhou finally stood tall with a calm expression, smiling as he looked at the Withered Disc True Monarch.

“Wicked woman! I’ve tolerated you long enough!”

“Hmph! Mere tricks, yet you dare think of trapping me?” the Withered Disc True Monarch roared angrily, magical power surging from her body as she began to attack the talisman array.

“Boom, boom, boom~”

As she started attacking the array, wind, rain, thunder, and lightning instantly emerged within it.

The talismans themselves were unlike ordinary Tier Three Advanced Talismans.

Combined with the power of eighteen talismans, their might need not be mentioned.

Furthermore, the combination of talismans and array enhanced their power to the utmost.

The Withered Disc True Monarch felt the pressure of the talisman array and finally showed a look of surprise.

The next moment, not daring to be complacent, a Seven-Colored Butterfly flew out, and as its wings flapped, circles of spatial ripples appeared.

“Boom!” When the ripples touched the talisman array, they exploded with astonishing might.

The aura of the entire array wavered in an instant,

and the eighteen talismans faltered slightly.

Li Jizhou’s expression instantly became grave.

“Is this the power of a Four-Turn Treasure Gu?”

Mere Butterfly Gu attacks were formidable enough, what if it fused with her, its power would undoubtedly escalate.

This was the terror of a Gu Master. Once possessing the corresponding-tier Gu insect, as long as they were willing to pay the price to fuse with their Gu, the burst of power would certainly surpass their own realm!

However, what reassured Li Jizhou was that the Butterfly Gu’s attack was limited to this.

Although the array was slightly affected, it wasn’t broken and continued to operate smoothly.

And seeing this, the Withered Disc True Monarch showed no signs of intending to fuse with her Gu.
