I Have A Dual World Seal-Chapter 745: Battle Against True Monarch Ye Gu

The sky above.

Daoist Mingzhang blinked, carefully staring at Lu Zheng, momentarily unable to react.

Master Qing Song rubbed his chin, "Is this the treasure of the East Sea Dragon Palace?"

"It should be..." Daoist Mingzhang's face was expressionless, his heart devoid of joy or sorrow, without any ripples.

Master Qing Song smiled at the corners of his mouth and nodded with great satisfaction, "Not bad, not bad, worthy of being a disciple of our White Cloud Temple."

Daoist Mingzhang, "..."

On the ground.

Lu Zheng gripped his saber with both hands, horizontally slashed, and the blade swept past True Monarch Ye Gu's face.

True Monarch Ye Gu leaned back to avoid it, then retreated two steps, looking at the dimming light of the White Bone Treasure Sword in his hand with a pang of heartache.

"Damn it!"

"Again!"

Lu Zheng swung his long saber with a sinister smile and advanced on him once more.

True Monarch Ye Gu was speechless; this Daoist didn't use spells or talismans but engaged with Martial Dao accompanied by True Qi. The true essence of martial arts combined with surging Dragon's Might left him fatigued and struggling to parry.

Are you sure you're a Daoist and not a military general of Great Jing stationed in the Northern Land?

Seeing Lu Zheng step forward, True Monarch Ye Gu squinted his eyes, formed a sword technique with his fingers, and engaged in battle with Lu Zheng once more.

....

Both Lu Zheng and True Monarch Ye Gu were individuals with a thousand years of Dao practice. Once in close combat, the power of their saber and sword didn't dissipate but seemed like an ordinary hand-to-hand fight, though the power was immense.

Lu Zheng's saber met True Monarch Ye Gu's thrusting sword, the True Dragon Blood Qi clashing with the Bone Evil Qi.

"Boom!"

The dragon roar and a sharp scream echoed simultaneously, shaking the True Spirit Sea of Consciousness of everyone around.

The surrounding ghostly apparitions were stunned, collectively pausing, while Yuan Jing showed no mercy. With a stab from his Seven-Star Sword into the heart of a Ghost General, the Sword Qi twisted and executed it. Then his left hand cast a Flowing Cloud Demon-slaying Curse, knocking another Ghost General away.

On this side, seeing Lu Zheng deflect his White Bone Sword, True Monarch Ye Gu turned the situation, then backhanded a Bone Arrow, carrying ghost fire and a piercing ghostly screech, straight toward Lu Zheng's face, aiming for a decisive blow.

However, Lu Zheng was prepared, just lowered his head, and the Bone Arrow struck the Flying Tail Crown.

"Ding!"

A light sound, a blinding gleam flashed across the Flying Tail Crown, the Bone Arrow was deflected and flown away, while the surface of the crown remained unmarked.

True Monarch Ye Gu, "..."

Although True Monarch Ye Gu wanted to curse "a shameless person relying on weapons and armor," everyone wasn't foolish, and saying such meaningless words would only invite ridicule.

So True Monarch Ye Gu gathered his spirits and decided to find another way.

During the battle, strands of Bone Evil Qi spread from the long sword, but none broke through Lu Zheng's Protective Treasure Armor.

Lu Zheng's armor emitted brilliant five-colored light, like a colorful light bulb in the dark Netherworld, driving away all Yin Qi and evil spirits, upholding righteousness and eradicating evil. Under the illumination of the five-colored light, it seemed as if a Five-Colored Divine Dragon descended, dazzling True Monarch Ye Gu's eyes.

This light didn't just shine on the eyes but directly into the Divine Soul; closing eyes alone couldn't solve it.

True Monarch Ye Gu's eyes shifted, then widened, as a pair of ghostly green flames suddenly ignited, staring coldly at Lu Zheng.

Seeing Lu Zheng in a one-on-one gaze, he felt the green flames cross the protective light of his armor, instantly connecting with his Divine Soul, burning all the way through.

The ghost fire was continuous, scorching the spirit and soul, like a maggot gnawing at the bones; once tainted by this ghost fire, unless a piece of one's Sea of Consciousness is cut off, it's hard to eradicate it.

"Ghost Fire Burning Spirit!" True Monarch Ye Gu's eyes were fierce, staring at Lu Zheng. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Lu Zheng's gaze sharpened, not daring to be careless.

"Golden Palace Heart Sword, Cut!"

A magnificent Treasure Sword of golden light appeared in Lu Zheng's spiritual world, then slashed toward the two fire lines.

"Sizzle—"

The ghost fire blazed, while Sword Qi raged.

True Monarch Ye Gu's face turned pale; he originally thought Lu Zheng would defend with a Cloud Technique, not expecting him to use such a powerful spirit secret technique, countering his attack.

Both continued their moves, the True Dragon Concealed Head Saber and the Boneless Sword swiftly exchanged blows, while the True Spirit and Divine Soul continued battling with ghost fire and heart sword.

True Monarch Ye Gu's cultivation wasn't much higher than Lu Zheng's, but his weapons, armor, cultivation techniques, and spells fell short.

So while they initially fought to a draw, as time went on, Lu Zheng became more adept, his saber wind howled, sword intent slightly revealed, dragon roars echoed, and he forced True Monarch Ye Gu to retreat repeatedly.

"My king, this little Daoist is fierce, we can't hold on much longer."

As misfortune befalls, True Monarch Ye Gu was fending off Lu Zheng's saber and sword while his subordinates were calling for help.

True Monarch Ye Gu glanced aside and saw that most of the capable Ghost Generals had perished, the remaining ones were barely holding on, retreating as they fought, and some little ghosts didn't even dare to approach, merely shouting as they retreated.

True Monarch Ye Gu regretted for the first time not having recruited a few stronger ghosts; otherwise, while he was entangled, the battle wouldn't collapse so miserably.

"Follow me back to the cave!"

True Monarch Ye Gu shouted, but instead of retreating, he advanced, raising the White Bone Sword skyward, condensing boundless Bone Mysterious Evil Sword Qi into a ghostly sword shadow several tens of meters long, locking onto Lu Zheng from afar.

One sword slashed down.

True Monarch Ye Gu didn't look at the outcome but fled towards the cave entrance.

His Yuan Yuan Cave was connected to the Earth Vein and carved with countless restrictions by himself. The cave's Four Directions and Baji buried with numerous bones were everlasting and inexhaustible, no matter how strong the Daoist in front of him was, he could never break through his cave.

True Monarch Ye Gu was confident, but Lu Zheng wasn't necessarily giving him this chance.

Suddenly, a great gust and downpour arose.

True Monarch Ye Gu had barely flown two feet forward when he saw Lu Zheng's form suddenly appear within the oblique wind and light rain ahead. Amidst the sound of dragon roars, a fierce saber light descended like lightning from above.

"What?"

True Monarch Ye Gu raised his sword to block, then was forced back two steps under Lu Zheng's power.

"Trying to escape? Do you think you can escape?"

True Monarch Ye Gu was fast but not as fast as Lu Zheng's Wind and Rain Flying Immortal.

As the spell was cast, his form blended into the wind and rain, akin to teleportation.

Simultaneously, his aura merged with the wind and rain, so when True Monarch Ye Gu tried to slow Lu Zheng down with his large sword, it was a mere waste of magical power, ultimately rendering no effect.

Seeing Lu Zheng blocking the retreat path, True Monarch Ye Gu widened his eyes, then raised his hand and tossed, launching the White Bone Sword to strike at Lu Zheng, while he himself turned into a stream of light, continuing to head towards his cave entrance.

"Where do you think you're going!"

Lu Zheng tapped his gourd, and a Silver Feather Cyan Mist Sword shot out, meeting the White Bone Sword head-on, the two swords battling on their own, while Lu Zheng once again blocked True Monarch Ye Gu's front.
