I Have A Dual World Seal-Chapter 744: Finally, it’s time to try the Sword Armor
Netherworld, Yuan Yuan Cave.
True Monarch Ye Gu was taking a nap inside the cave, while several maid ghost princesses were attending to him, fanning and massaging his legs.
"In a moment, I will have two friends coming here. All of you, get your spirits up and serve them well, understood?"
The ghost princesses who had served True Monarch Ye Gu for a long time changed their expressions, but dared not stop their actions, only nodding weakly to show understanding.
Only He Junyi, new to the place, saw her sisters' pale faces and wanted to ask, but True Monarch Ye Gu's interest in her had recently waned, making her hesitant to speak.
True Monarch Ye Gu felt the technique on his legs pause, then glanced at He Junyi who continued massaging his legs, a smile playing on his lips before a shadow crossed his eyes.
For this woman, in a fit of rage, he had lost a split soul incarnation, but after absorbing all her primordial Yin and some divine soul spiritual light, what was left was pure enjoyment.
And this pure enjoyment had dwindled over time, now remaining little different from what the other ghost princesses provided.
"Hmm, last time at Old Ghost Mo's Water Mansion, there was a delightful ghost princess transformed from a mermaid. I can exchange this woman for her when the time comes."
True Monarch Ye Gu's pair of eerie green ghost eyes were shifting when his expression suddenly changed.
Simultaneously, a loud shout penetrated through the restrictions of Yuan Yuan Cave, entering the cave, "Ye Gu, old ghost, come out and meet your death!"
Then two little ghosts scrambled in, "My lord, my lord, this is not good, two Daoists have come outside the cave challenging us. Before the brothers could even say a word, they were killed by a single spell!"
"I've heard!" True Monarch Ye Gu shouted fiercely, his face turning vicious, yet his heart skipped a beat. The Daoists he had recently offended seemed to be only from the White Cloud Temple. Perhaps they had found him?
Impossible? Knowing that the mortal world had many powerful figures, he always sent a split soul incarnation to conduct affairs in the mortal world and never left his name. How could they know about him?
But since they were already at his doorstep, he had to show himself, or it would seem cowardly.
True Monarch Ye Gu rose to his full height, stretching his neck, his expression turning solemn as he stepped out, with the two little ghosts plucking up their courage to follow him quickly.
...
At the square in front of Yuan Yuan Cave, Lu Zheng stood at the forefront, empty-handed, with Yuan Jing following beside him, holding a sword in his left hand. Both wore cloud-patterned blue Daoist robes, their faces calm as they stood leisurely blocking the entrance to the cave.
Suspended in mid-air behind them were Master Qingsong and Daoist Mingzhang, not revealing themselves.
The next moment, the great door of Yuan Yuan Cave opened, and True Monarch Ye Gu stepped out.
Lu Zheng's eyes brightened as he looked up.
True Monarch Ye Gu was indeed a sight, though called Ye Gu, he was a tall young man, about 1.8 meters high, with handsome features, a strong presence, and lips red, teeth white, only his eyes burned with eerie green flames, proving his Ghost King status.
Wearing a white robe, True Monarch Ye Gu's ghost fire flashed in his eyes upon seeing Lu Zheng and Yuan Jing, then he instinctively glanced around all four directions, finding no one else.
"Who are you two, and why do you block my cave?" True Monarch Ye Gu asked coldly, staring at Lu Zheng and Yuan Jing.
"True Monarch Ye Gu, don't play dumb. Since you dared to strike at Senior Brother Yuan Ye, you must have anticipated today's situation." Lu Zheng stepped forward, "Today, I've come to send you on your way."
"Such audacity!" True Monarch Ye Gu's eyes widened, "Even your White Cloud Temple seniors don't dare speak to me this way!"
"Hmph, you think it needs my seniors to deal with you? Lu Mou alone is enough for you." Lu Zheng smirked, no longer sparring with words, as he moved to attack.
True Monarch Ye Gu's gaze sharpened, "Since you dare to enter the Netherworld, then stay!"
He was a Ghost King with a thousand years of Dao practice, moving unchallenged, yet when faced with action, he did not falter. Seeing Lu Zheng's White Cloud Hand Seal coming at him, he raised his hand, sending out three green fire arrows.
"Swish! Swish! Swish!"
The green fire arrows shone brightly, piercing through the White Cloud Hand Seal, the clouds dissipating, while the green fire continued to burn, directly targeting Lu Zheng.
Lu Zheng formed a hand seal, shooting out three Flying Cloud Evil-breaking Curses, each colliding with the green fire arrows, both extinguishing the other, as the clouds dissipated and the green fire scattered.
The next moment, Lu Zheng's brow raised, noticing that beneath the eerie green fire of the arrows, there were also three slender bone arrows. With the green fire dissolved, the bone arrows were in close proximity.
However, Lu Zheng remained calm, as faint white clouds surrounded his body, and although the bone arrows seemed sharp and swift, they plunged into what felt like a mire, unable to progress further.
"Good Cloud Technique!" True Monarch Ye Gu grinned hideously, reaching out to grab a White Bone Sword, the next moment flashing towards Lu Zheng.
"Close combat?" Lu Zheng's grin widened, his expression excited.
The next moment, a flash of light shimmered over Lu Zheng, and five-colored brilliance shone from within the white clouds. True Monarch Ye Gu blinked, and as he focused again, he saw Lu Zheng now clad in five-colored armor, wielding a five-foot long saber.
True Monarch Ye Gu: ???
...
After just two moves, True Monarch Ye Gu realized that Lu Zheng's Dao practice was profound, with his Cloud Technique being mystical. Continuing the magical combat would not be easy as his opponent was not much weaker, making it hard to win.
Thus, True Monarch Ye Gu decided to capitalize on his strengths and avoid his weaknesses.
Having cultivated the Dao through bones, he was adept at swordsmanship and close combat, while the White Cloud Temple, although possessing swordsmanship, was not exceptional, making it perfect for him to counter. As long as he broke through the Cloud Technique in close quarters, he could subdue him.
...
Thus, without a word, True Monarch Ye Gu charged forward with his sword, only to face the spectacle before him.
"Aren't you a Daoist?" True Monarch Ye Gu was bewildered by Lu Zheng's extravagant treasure saber and armor.
"Indeed! Face the blade!" Lu Zheng laughed grimly, grasping the saber with both hands, advancing aggressively.
Ever since acquiring the True Dragon Concealed Head Saber and Five-Colored Dragon Scale Armor, Lu Zheng hadn't had the chance to use them—his hands itching. True Monarch Ye Gu's profound Dao practice and skillful magic, along with his expertise in close combat, were perfect for Lu Zheng to spar with.
"Clang!"
Lu Zheng brought the saber down, as True Monarch Ye Gu parried with his sword. In the next instant, the two unleashed their techniques, engaging in fierce combat.
As it is said:
Dragon roars rumble, saber winds chill the Netherworld.
Ghost wails shriek, White Bone Sword Intent pierces the vast sky.
Lu Zheng was formidable, and True Monarch Ye Gu was no weaker. Seeing Lu Zheng's blade and armor, a red flicker crossed his green ghost eyes as he pressed forward, determined to capture Lu Zheng.
Yuan Jing glanced at the scene, then drew his longsword, directly charging into the ghostly minions following True Monarch Ye Gu.
True Monarch Ye Gu had no particularly powerful Ghost General under him; the strongest was only about a hundred years of cultivation and not Yuan Jing's match. Hence, Yuan Jing charged in, surrounded by several Ghost Generals, yet with one hand using White Cloud Swordsmanship and the other White Cloud Curse, he displayed mighty prowess, occasionally slaying a ghost.
