However, if this opportunity is missed, then there might never be another chance to escape.
"Staying means certain death, leaving might only result in injury..."
At this critical moment, his thoughts raced, and ultimately, Great True Monarch of Zircon Jade resolved to make a decision.
Swish!
He chose to disregard everything and continued to wield his Escape Divine Techniques.
Suddenly, a beam of Escape Light surged, enveloping his form, and with a slight pause, he intended to flee backwards.
Boom!
Yet, just before his Escape Divine Techniques took effect, the Spirit Treasure light of Great True Monarch Qing Gang had already hit his body.
"Hmph."
Within the enveloping light, Great True Monarch of Zircon Jade staggered abruptly, a large splash of blood sprayed down from the void, clearly he had already been severely injured.
However, despite the severe injury, the Escape Divine Techniques had been activated, and he transformed into a dim light, shooting swiftly toward the distant horizon.
Witnessing this scene, a trace of hesitation appeared on the face of Great True Monarch Qing Gang.
If he pursued immediately using Escape Divine Techniques, he might still be able to capture him.
But doing so would leave Qi Chuan alone to face Great True Monarch Yin Bone, even though the situation had become clear now, it could provide Yin Bone with an opportunity.
This slight hesitation allowed Great True Monarch of Zircon Jade to escape, a few flickers later, he had already reached a distant place and then disappeared into the horizon.
At this moment, Great True Monarch Qing Gang turned his gaze towards the battle between Yin Bone and Qi Chuan.
This sight jolted him unexpectedly.
"Puff!"
As the Bone Shuttle and Yin Arrow were broken, especially when the latter split into two halves, Great True Monarch Yin Bone’s face turned pale, and he spat a mouthful of blood, his aura significantly diminished.
This was the backlash caused by the destruction of the Yin Arrow.
"This brat’s power has become terrifying to this extent?"
Blood flowed from Yin Bone’s lips, and in his heart, he had already plunged into despair, even a trace of panic emerging.
Now the situation had faintly exceeded his control.
Qi Chuan’s strength, now not only matched his level, but even seemed to surpass him.
How did things reach this point?
And at that moment, bad news came once again.
That was his friend, Great True Monarch of Zircon Jade, unexpectedly fled directly.
"Zircon Jade, how can you be so cowardly like a rat, I haven’t lost yet!" Yin Bone roared lowly.
In his view, even if his Bone Shuttle and Yin Arrow were broken by Qi Chuan, he could still fight Qi Chuan jointly with Zircon Jade and retreat safely after costing Qi Chuan and Qing Gang dearly.
Now that Zircon Jade was gone, the situation was completely different.
He, Yin Bone, faced a one-on-two situation.
In the Realm of True Monarch, battling alone against two was already extremely difficult.
Moreover, Qi Chuan’s strength had refreshed, becoming a power above him.
His situation had fallen into grave danger.
"Escape!"
Immediately, the thought of fleeing surged within him.
There’s no choice but to escape, staying would mean death.
With a cold gaze glancing at Qi Chuan’s transformed azure sword light, his hesitation evaporated, directly wielding Escape Divine Techniques, he transformed into a dim light, swiftly shooting towards the distant horizon.
In his thought, as long as he could escape, even at the cost of serious injury, it would be worth it.
However, Zircon Jade managed to escape under Great True Monarch Qing Gang’s watch.
But under Qi Chuan’s gaze, the situation was vastly different.
Let’s understand, Qi Chuan was a Sword Cultivator.
Now, with Human-Sword Unity and wielding the Sword Dao Divine Techniques of Heart Soul Sword.
Even though Great True Monarch Yin Bone activated his Escape Divine Techniques with unparalleled speed, he was fast, but Qi Chuan was faster.
Swoosh!
A thunderous, rapid sound echoed through the void, a deep azure sword light flashed by like a bolt, and within mere breaths, it struck Yin Bone shortly after his escape light had sped away.
Bang!
"Hmph!"
A loud noise.
Great True Monarch Yin Bone retreated directly from the state of being enveloped in Escape Light.
Simultaneously, a Tier Four Upper Grade Spirit Treasure of Defense Class around him shattered.
He let out a grunt, enduring the force backlash, his complexion paling significantly.
"Fellow Daoist Yin Bone, you shouldn’t think of escaping in front of me. Your friend has already fled, so you should at least leave me some spoils."
In the void ahead, a flash of deep azure light revealed the Sea-Suppressing Sword.
Within, Qi Chuan’s voice resonated.
Whoosh!
Meanwhile, a sound of space breaking occurred behind him.
Great True Monarch Qing Gang also appeared behind him, staring at Yin Bone with some excitement.
Originally, today with Qi Chuan, the plan was merely to explore a Cave Mansion of True Monarch level.
No one expected to experience disturbances from Yin Bone and Zircon Jade, yet an unexpected joy had appeared.
That was the opportunity to capture Yin Bone.
Understand, Yin Bone himself was an experienced Great True Monarch power; his collections, heritage must be extremely rich, capturing him today could double the gains.
"Fellow Daoist Yin Bone, blame it on Zircon Jade for being unfaithful."
Great True Monarch Qing Gang sneered as he spoke.
"Fellow Daoist Qi Chuan, Fellow Daoist Qing Gang, can we reconcile? I am willing to offer up all my possessions, including these Defense Class Tier Four Upper Grade Spirit Treasures, just spare my life."
"And after I return, I guarantee not to reveal a shred of what happened here and never become your enemy, nor seek revenge."
Great True Monarch Yin Bone cautiously watched Qi Chuan and Qing Gang, while adjusting his stance to appeal.
"Fellow Daoist Yin Bone, it’s not that I don’t give you a chance; even if I consent to your offer, do you dare surrender everything without reservation?"
From within the Flying Sword, Qi Chuan’s calm voice echoed.
Upon hearing this, Great True Monarch Yin Bone was momentarily taken aback.
Indeed, even if Qi Chuan agreed to his terms, he could not trust Qi Chuan.
At this juncture, the situation seemed irreversible.
Yet in today’s battle, while Great True Monarch of Zircon Jade escaped, he was left behind, igniting a profound unwillingness within him.
With resentment shining in his eyes, he glanced at Qi Chuan and Qing Gang, before calming himself, saying: "Even if I perish, I won’t let it be easy for you."
Upon these words, he immediately formed seals with his hands, but this seal was fundamentally different from the previous Magical Combat techniques.
At the same time, the Spiritual Qi of this void seemed to start becoming faintly restless.
"Not good."
Seeing this sight, Great True Monarch Qing Gang’s face dramatically changed, exclaiming: "Fellow Daoist Qi Chuan, quickly retreat, he’s about to self-destruct!"
The self-destruction at the Great True Monarch Level was extraordinarily shocking.
Too close, even a Great True Monarch might suffer severe injuries, even perish.
Moreover, Yin Bone was an experienced Great True Monarch power; his Cultivation and strength made what would be a monumental self-destruction, stirring fear even within Great True Monarch Qing Gang.
"Self-destruct?"
Yet, upon hearing Great True Monarch Qing Gang, the Sea-Suppressing Sword in the void not only showed no sign of retreat, but the tip turned, facing Great True Monarch Yin Bone, softly speaking from within the Flying Sword: "In front of me, no one can self-destruct."
Whoosh!
As his words fell, a surge of Formless Heart Flame emerged like a tide from within the Lifebound Flying Sword.
It was the Formless Heart Flame!
