Chapter 763 763: Spar With Yue Mengyi

"Why did you bring me here, Emperor?" Yue Mengyi asked Chen Li in confusion.

"Take out your twin silver moon daggers, Mengyi." Chen Li immediately transformed his necklace into a golden dagger. "When was the last time we sparred? It's been too long, right? The current me is still not on par with Long Wang, and I still need to continue improving, so I want to spar with you now."

"The last time we sparred was before I left for the Three Realms, and over a thousand years have passed since then." Yue Mengyi immediately took out her twin daggers. "I've been training hard since I heard news of the rebellion that day, and my fighting skills have improved significantly compared to the past."

"Ha ha ha." Chen Li laughed at that. "If your fighting skills haven't improved even a little after so much time has passed, I will definitely be disappointed in you, Mengyi."

Yue Mengyi pursed her lips. "Emperor, I am determined to free my mother from their hands, and I will never be able to do that without strength. Therefore, I always train from morning to night, and I rarely rest."

"That's good." Chen Li nodded. "Attack with all your strength and don't hold back."

"Eh?" Yue Mengyi was taken aback. "But—"

"No buts." Chen Li stopped Yue Mengyi. "You may not know about it, but our enemies are not just Tian Shiwang and the other immortals, and there are many powerful cultivators behind them."

"Many powerful cultivators?" Yue Mengyi seemed confused by that because she thought there was no one stronger than Tian Shiwang and the other immortals, but Chen Li said there were still powerful cultivators behind them. "Who are the people you are referring to, Emperor?"

"The Dark Race." Yue Mengyi froze and her eyes widened as soon as Chen Li mentioned that race. "Xie Zhongzhu and Mo Zuhuang are the leaders of that race, and they are also the masterminds behind the rebellion carried out by Tian Shiwang and the other immortals, so all of them are under the control of those two people now. According to Xiao Hei, who had seen them both before, their cultivation had already reached the Immortal Venerable Realm."

"Has their cultivation truly reached the Immortal Venerable Realm, Emperor?" Chen Li nodded to Yue Mengyi. "No wonder they were able to control Tian Shiwang and the other immortals; they've become so powerful after disappearing for so long, and almost no one can stand against them now."

"That's why I don't have much time to relax, and I have to keep improving myself to reach my past level; only then can I face Xie Zhongzhu and Mo Zuhuang." Chen Li pointed his golden dagger at Yue Mengyi. "Let's do it, Mengyi. Don't hold back and attack me with the intention of killing me."

Yue Mengyi smiled wryly at that, but she immediately disappeared from Chen Li's sight. She reappeared behind him and attacked him, but he spun around and blocked her attack before launching a counterattack on her.

Yue Mengyi immediately disappeared again, but Chen Li stood still at his spot while his eyes moved to examine other areas.

"Mengyi, I can see your movements clearly." Yue Mengyi was stunned to hear that, but Chen Li suddenly appeared in front of her, thrusting his dagger at her.

Yue Mengyi blocked Chen Li's dagger with hers, but his attack pushed her back. "How can you see my movements, Emperor?"

"My eyes are exceptional." Chen Li immediately attacked Yue Mengyi again. "Come on! Don't hold back!"

Yue Mengyi let out a soft sigh before disappearing again, but the area was immediately shrouded in dense fog, intended to limit Chen Li's visibility and slow down his movements.

However, Yue Mengyi didn't know about Chen Li's Divine God Eyes yet, and the mist couldn't block his sight at all. Even so, the mist has quite an effect on his speed, which slows him down quite significantly.

Clang

Chen Li parried Yue Mengyi's attack and attacked her back, but she quickly disappeared from her position, causing his attack to hit empty air. "Your speed is much faster than in the past, Mengyi."

Yue Mengyi didn't respond to Chen Li; instead, she suppressed her aura, cultivation, and presence as tightly as possible. Once she was sure, she immediately attacked him again, but her attack pierced through his body.

Yue Mengyi was stunned because she had not seen Chen Li make a move earlier, nor had she felt any movement of Qi in his body; however, her attack only struck his illusion.

Yue Mengyi looked up before flying to the side, avoiding Chen Li's attack. Thereafter, she disappeared from her position again, observing him from behind the mist.

"Mengyi, you can't use hit-and-run techniques against me." Chen Li immediately released his aura, dispelling the mist. "As I said before, my eyes are special, and you can never hide from me, so I executed my technique the moment I saw you move."

Hearing that, Yue Mengyi immediately appeared before Chen Li and questioned him. "How can you still see me when I've used my mist, Emperor? In the past, you couldn't do that, right?"

"You're right." Chen Li nodded at Yue Mengyi. "I certainly couldn't do it in the past, but you don't seem to be aware of my current condition."

"Hmm?" Yue Mengyi looked at Chen Li in confusion, but she immediately noticed it as soon as her eyes turned gray. "Are your eyes blind, Emperor?"

Chen Li nodded in response. "I had an accident before I became a cultivator, which caused my eyes to go blind. Luckily, I met Song Tianyi, and he passed on many things to me, including my current eye abilities.

Yue Mengyi raised an eyebrow as Chen Li's eyes turned silver again. "So, your silver eyes help you to see through things, right?"

"Haha." Chen Li laughed as he nodded. "That's why there's no point in you hiding from me; Instead, you should attack me directly."

Yue Mengyi sighed heavily. "You're cheating, Emperor! You know the mist is my main advantage, and I always rely on it to defeat my enemies."

"Are you truly incapable of doing anything without your mist, Mengyi? Have you forgotten all my past teachings?" Yue Mengyi shook her head at Chen Li. "If you haven't forgotten them, then attack me now, and you must use your full strength."

Boom

Yue Mengyi immediately released her aura. "Get ready, Emperor! I won't hold back any longer, and I'll attack you with all my strength."

"Come at me!"
