Ji Yuan was taken aback.
After Nightmare True Monarch intercepted the move, he pinched his fingers together and shouted, "Go!"
Instantly, some of the black blood from his body split off, transforming into a long, slender black dog beside him.
The slender dog landed on the ground, barked a few times at Ji Yuan with "woof woof woof," and then suddenly leapt forward to pounce at Ji Yuan.
Ji Yuan had no other choice but to retract the Fire God Spear, infuse it with his energy, and give a fierce shake, casting the black blood away.
With the momentum, the Fire God Spear spun around his neck, and he held the spear's handle with both hands, then smashed it down on the long, slender black dog.
"Crack—"
"Woof!!!"
The black dog let out an extremely painful wail.
Though initially fine, with just this one hit, Ji Yuan broke its spine, leaving it slumped in mid-air, howling in agony.
