All I can do is slay demons. Meng Chuan felt sad as well, but he could do nothing else. He rushed everywhere, killing the demons monarchs without mercy and left devastating scenes behind.
…
Third Firmament demon monarchs are dying in battle? An avian demon monarch held a token and used it to sense the other demon monarchs’ statuses. In just a short while, five third Firmament demon monarchs had already died in battle!
This left the demon monarch trembling.
I’ve killed thousands of mortals. I have to destroy the tunnels next, but I’ll be too slow. It’s about time for me to retreat. It immediately spread its wings and quickly soared into the sky. It had attacked the county city very suddenly as well. It had flown high above the city and carpet-bombed it with its demonic powers. It managed to kill many mortals as the city’s residents frantically fled towards the tunnels. The demon monarch killed thousands of humans after a single trip around the city.
…
“Six third Firmament demon monarchs are dead? Let’s go!”
…
“Retreat!”
…
“The Godfiends have killed six third Firmament demon monarchs! Gu Mountain Prefecture’s Godfiends are really strong. Quickly retreat!”
…
As Meng Chuan and the two Godfiend teams rapidly killed the third Firmament demon monarchs, it caused the remaining third Firmament demon monarchs to retreat.
Mmm?
A bolt of lightning descended from the sky and landed on the treetops of Gaoyu County. Meng Chuan scanned Gaoyu County City. Although parts of Gaoyu County City were now ruined and smoke continued to rise, the county city had already calmed down.
The demon monarchs have left? Meng Chuan frowned slightly. I only found demon monarchs when the attacks first started. However, the demon monarchs at two of the places I went to had already fled.
He was extremely fast, but the battles at several places had already ended by the time he got there. In the county cities—which had populations of roughly 100,000—the demon monarch had killed only a few thousand humans. None destroyed the tunnels to kill the hiding mortals; instead, they immediately retreated.
Next city. Meng Chuan quickly rushed to the next county city.
…
The demon monarchs in Gu Mountain Prefecture were led by Demon Monarch White Fox and Demon Monarch Greenjade since they were the strongest.
“Chase!” Godfiend Zhou Fu led his Godfiend team to pursue the green snake demoness.
The green demoness fled in panic.
“It wants to escape into the river.” The four-man Godfiend team was somewhat anxious. Snakes were naturally good at moving in the water. If this snake demoness entered the river, it would be difficult to kill it.
The green snake demoness had slaughtered many mortals in a county city, and the Godfiend team didn’t want her to escape.
Whoosh.
The green snake demoness finally arrived at the raging river water in harrowing fashion. Her body was submerged within the river, her tail faintly discernible. Her upper body appeared like a green-robed human woman. Her originally frightened look was gone. Instead, she looked at the Godfiend team with a faint smile as they pursued her. “Godfiends, do you really think I’m really afraid of you?”
Her snake tail gently swayed. The water in the boundless river surged into the air and surrounded a half-kilometer radius, trapping the Godfiend team.
Zhou Fu realized something was wrong after seeing the mystical movements. “This snake demoness hid its strength. Everyone, be careful!
“None of you will be able to escape today!” The snake demoness was extremely arrogant. Although she didn’t have a powerful background in the Demon Realm, her strength was far superior to Demon Monarch White Fox’s. This was the first time she had attacked in the human world, so she naturally wanted to kill a few Godfiends!
Back at the county city, when the Godfiend team attacked, the snake demoness immediately understood that she would only have a slight advantage in the county city’s environment. It would be impossible for her to kill the Godfiends there. Therefore, she feigned weakness and fled to the river. With the river’s aid, she had a chance of killing this Godfiend team.
“Activate forbidden spells and charge out,” Zhou Fu ordered.
The Godfiends didn’t hesitate to use forbidden Godfiend spells to charge out of the surrounding water with all their strength.
The snake demoness’s hair flailed as she brandished a black chain. The chains directed the water’s movements, sealing the area around the Godfiends.
“Senior Brother Zhou, we can’t escape!”
“This snake demoness’s domain is too powerful.”
“This snake demoness has probably reached the Realm of Dao.”
The Godfiends were imprisoned within the demoness’s domain. They couldn’t charge out, no matter what they did.
“Seek reinforcement!” Zhou Fu knew something was amiss and immediately gave orders via voice transmission. The four Godfiends used their identity tokens to request for help.
…
Demon Monarch White Fox was in a totally different situation. She wasn’t pursued by any Godfiends. She had taken human form and became a beautiful white-robed woman. Three white fur tails gently swayed as she leisurely strolled through the county city. The mortals hiding in the tunnels died silently as she walked past the approximate area.
She continued to stroll leisurely, causing people inside the tunnels to collapse to the ground.
“They are all hidden underground. Killing them would be troublesome,” muttered Demon Monarch White Fox softly. “Seven third Firmament demon monarchs have died. Almost half of the third Firmament demon monarchs in Gu Mountain Prefecture are dead. The other demon monarchs will probably be scared off. As for me, I haven’t even encountered a single Godfiend.”
A hint of grief could be seen on her beautiful face. She was the leader of the Gu Mountain Prefecture demon monarchs in name! If she were to retreat without even seeing a Godfiend, it would be very embarrassing.
Mmm? Demon Monarch White Fox suddenly sensed something and looked into the distance.
She could see a faint bolt of lightning in the distance.
It came closer and closer. The bolt of lightning was too fast! Within the lightning, one could see a black-robed youth with a saber by his waist. He had a solemn aura as he glared at Demon Monarch White Fox coldly.
Lightning? Meng Chuan? Demon Monarch White Fox immediately recognized the person. Her beautiful face paled. Although she wanted to kill a few Godfiends, she had long heard of Meng Chuan’s name. The demons had long collected intelligence on Meng Chuan.
Meng Chuan and two other Archean Mountain Godfiends had jointly killed fourth Firmament Skydemon, Blackwater Palace Lord—who was stronger than them. Demon Monarch White Fox obviously knew about his strength.
I wanted a small fish, so why did a shark come? Demon Monarch White Fox panicked.
Chapter 195 - Bewitchment Divine Power
I’m good at movement techniques and escaping, but I’ve encountered Meng Chuan… My speed is far inferior to his. Demon Monarch White Fox knew that she couldn’t escape from Meng Chuan. As a demon sage descendant, her escaping speed could match that of an ordinary Marquis Godfiend!
But Meng Chuan had a perfected Lightning Devastator Fiend Body. He represented the speed limits a Great Solar Godfiend could move! He was a Great Solar Godfiend that matched a Regis Godfiend’s speed. Among the demonic divine powers, only the legendary Rainbow Transformation could compare with his speed.
I won’t be able to escape. At that moment, Demon Monarch White Fox quickly thought of plans to escape.
Humph. When Meng Chuan saw Demon Monarch White Fox in front of him, he showed no mercy as usual.
“Stop!” shouted Demon Monarch White Fox immediately.
“Oh?” Meng Chuan looked at her. “As a demon monarch, what do you have to say?”
“Me
ng Chuan, I know you,” said Demon Monarch White Fox quickly. “I’m afraid I’m not your opponent. However, I’m a descendant of a demon sage. I have a divine power, and if I really risk my life, I’m strong enough to kill over 10,000 mortals even if I’m not able to do anything to you! You may be extremely fast, but my divine powers are impressive. I can instantly kill all mortal beings in a large area.
“If you kill me, it means killing more than 10,000 mortals. If you release me, I will leave obediently. You will also save over 10,000 mortals. These mortals have families. Is it worth sacrificing so many mortals for a demon monarch like me?” asked Demon Monarch White Fox with a smile.
Since she couldn’t escape, she had to rely on sophistry to convince Meng Chuan to let her go. Demon Monarch White Fox knew that Godfiends cared a lot about mortals.
It can instantly kill over 10,000 mortals in front of me? Meng Chuan frowned as he became even more cautious.
Mortals currently hid in tunnels, so killing over 10,000 mortals required some time. How fast were his attacks? However, if the enemy dared to claim that they could do so, there might be some truth to their words.
“Many demon monarchs have entered the human world. My presence or lack thereof wouldn’t affect the overall situation,” said Demon Monarch White Fox when her expression suddenly changed.
This was because Meng Chuan had suddenly moved! He did not say anything and attacked her directly!
Boom!
He cast a forbidden Godfiend spell and fused the Power of Essence Soul with his Quintessential essence and body!
Clearly, Demon Monarch White Fox’s so-called “persuasion” had made Meng Chuan very cautious. For the sake of over 10,000 mortals’ lives, he had decided to unleash all his might! He cast a forbidden spell and fused his Power of Essence Soul so that he could instantly kill Demon Monarch White Fox, preventing her from harming too many innocent lives.
As Meng Chuan attacked, a bolt of lightning struck the demon monarch first. This lightning bolt was much faster than Meng Chuan’s saber beam. It instantly struck Demon Monarch White Fox. She did not have time to react.
Bang!
The lightning bolt struck her.
Demon Monarch White Fox felt her body turn numb. Although the lightning was powerful, it had limited effect on a demon sage descendant.
He wants to kill me? Demon Monarch White Fox instinctively cast her divine power. Her original beautiful human head turned into a white-furred fox head. A red demonic mark was situated between the fox’s eyebrows. The demon monarch’s eyes glowed a strange demonic red, and it seemed like a world was in her eyes. The demon monarch wanted to consume Meng Chuan’s consciousness completely!
Divine power—Bewitchment!
The demon monarch hadn’t lied. If her divine power had been unleashed on a large-scale, she could control all living beings within half a kilometer, and force them to commit suicide! She could also make them kill each other until they died of severe injuries. One’s illusion strength had to exceed the bewitchment strength to save these mortals. Otherwise, there was no way one could save them.
Of course, she didn’t unleash her divine power on the mortals. Instead, she directed her divine power at the target in front of her—Meng Chuan!
This was because she wanted to live!
It’s said that Meng Chuan is powerful, but I still have a chance of killing him. As long as I kill him, I will be able to survive. Demon Monarch White Fox gave her all.
After she unleashed her divine power, she pounced towards Meng Chuan and swiped her sharp claws at Meng Chuan’s neck.
She was used to employing such tactics. Many demon monarchs stronger than her had been affected by the charm. As long as one was slightly affected, she would take the opportunity to kill her opponent.
Whoosh.
Meng Chuan felt an illusion descend upon him in a bid to drag his consciousness into it. However, with the Power of Essence Soul fused with his Quintessential Essence and body, the bewitchment was completely resisted by him the moment it invaded his body! His second-level Essence Soul was not something that could be controlled by a bewitchment at this level.
Meng Chuan maintained his lucidity after being struck by the divine power!
Demon Monarch White Fox’s Bewitchment had allowed her to dominate most of her opponents, but when encountering a Great Solar Godfiend with a powerful Essence Soul like Meng Chuan, she would lose her life. Those with Essence Souls were best at resisting her divine power.
“What!?” Demon Monarch White Fox was astonished that her divine power was completely useless on Meng Chuan when she charged over.
Before she could react, a saber beam was already heading towards her.
It was too fast!
Demon Monarch White Fox was known for her agility. She brandished her claws as she cast a forbidden spell.
However, the saber beam sliced through her like an illusion.
“That’s—” When she saw her headless body flying, she understood that it had been beheaded. The demon monarch’s face was filled with disbelief as she fell to the ground with a thud.
She had just witnessed too many unbelievable things. Her divine power failed to affect Meng Chuan? She couldn’t block a single move?
Unbeknownst to her, she could’ve exchanged over ten blows with meng Chuan under normal circumstances. However, after casting a forbidden Godfiend spell and fusing the Power of Essence Soul with his Quintessential Essence and body, his attacks were a lot stronger than usual.
Could it really have dragged more than 10,000 mortals down with it? Meng Chuan glanced at Demon Monarch White Fox’s corpse in puzzlement. Large amounts of blood surged into Demon Slayer from the corpse as it completely dried up. Finally, it turned to dust; not a single strand of fur was left behind. Only a small cloth sack and token remained.
With a wave of his hand, Meng Chuan sent the small cloth bag and token to his hand with his Quintessential Essence. Without its owner, the token was of no use. Meng Chuan glanced at the small cloth bag and found it somewhat special. However, he put it away since it wasn’t the time for checking his war spoils. He transformed into a bolt of lightning and rushed to the next city.
…
The water surged around the Godfiends as the snake demoness controlled the river. She lashed out at the four trapped Godfiends with her black chain repeatedly, forcing the Godfiends to cast forbidden Godfiends so they could block the attacks.
“Die!” The snake demoness watched calmly.
The river blotted out the sky as it surrounded the Godfiends. The Godfiends relied on their Quintessential Essence to force the water back. Suddenly, a green beam flashed from within the water.
Pfft.
The green beam pierced a Godfiend’s protective Quintessential Essence layer and went through a female Godfiend’s glabella. The female Godfiend fell to the ground.
“Junior Sister Chen.” The remaining three Godfiends turned frantic. However, they were already struggling to deal with the snake demoness’ black chain and domain. Although the green beam was slightly weaker than the black chain and domain, it was still as strong as a top-tier Great Solar Godfiend’s attack. Both Junior Sister Chen and Junior Brother Yang—the two Indestructible Godfiends—lost their lives to the sinister green beam.
Only Zhou Fu and the other Great Solar Godfiend were left to resist with great difficulty.
The green snake demoness had a confident look on her face before her expression changed. Demon Monarch White Fox is dead? She has a divine power, and her speed can match a fourth Firmament demon monarch, yet she failed to escape? Her strength is barely inferior to mine, but she still died. If I were to encounter her killer, I’m afraid I can’t escape as well.
Gu Mountain Prefecture isn’t that big. It won’t be long before her killer rushes here. I have to leave quickly.
The green snake demoness didn’t hesitate to leave the two Great Solar Godfiends—that were tough nuts to crack. She immediately transformed into a str
eam of water and merged with the river. With the aid of the river, she quickly fled the scene.
Chapter 196 - The Greater Demon Monarch in Wu State
The two Great Solar Godfiends stood there in a daze. They watched helplessly as the green snake demoness retracted her black chain and domain. She then used the flowing water to vanish.
“The green snake demoness fled?” The two exchanged glances.
“Junior Sister, Junior Brother.”
The two stopped casting their forbidden Godfiend spells and hoisted up the two Godfiends’ corpses from the river with their Quintessential Essence. Junior Brother Yang and Junior Junior Sister Chen had fought with them for a short while, but now they were dead. This made the two Great Solar Godfiends extremely sad.
“What should we do now?” asked the armored man.
“Archean Mountain has given orders for Godfiend teams to stop reinforcing the cities once a Godfiend dies during a battle,” said Zhou Fu softly. “Without Junior Sister Chen and Junior Sister Yang, our team has lost half its strength. We can’t continue fighting the demon monarchs.”
Although they had only lost two Indestructible Godfiends, one was skilled with domains while the other was skilled with illusions. They provided great help to the entire team.
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning flashed across the horizon and reached the river.
The duo saw the black-robed youth standing on the water.
“Senior Brother Meng.” The duo stood by the riverbank and bowed respectfully.
“The demon monarch fled?” Meng Chuan’s expression changed when he saw the two dead Godfiends.
“It was a third Firmament snake demon monarch. I believe it has reached the Realm of Dao. It is very adept at controlling its water domain. The demon monarch is even stronger when around a large water source.” Zhou Fu immediately revealed everything he knew about the demon monarch. “The demon monarch fled via the river roughly 30 seconds before you arrived, Senior Brother Meng.”
