In the most intense stage of the attack, a figure hid in the void. It was none other than Patriarch Yellow Oscillate. Patriarch Yellow Oscillate’s domain isolated his aura. He carefully hid himself as he watched the attack from afar.
Marquis Godfiends actually guard this city. Patriarch Yellow Oscillate thought little of them. He wanted to kill a Regis Godfiend during his first attack.
Huh? Marquis Clear Peace, Xue Feng? Patriarch Yellow Oscillate’s gaze swept across Lu Cheng, Yan Jin, and Xue Feng—who were all busy releasing Quintessential Essence threads. Finally, his gaze landed on Xue Feng. A fourth Firmament demon monarch team once fought Xue Feng. It’s said that he has already reached the Dharma Domain realm?
He’s very young and has great potential. Forget it. The next demon monarch attack will happen in a month. I shall let you have the honor of being my first victim in the human world! Marquis Clear Peace Xue Feng! Patriarch Yellow Oscillate approached silently.
Patriarch Yellow Oscillate was very fast in the void. In a flash, he traversed five kilometers. After all, his technique realm was extremely high. His technique realm was even higher than that of King Calm Sea—who was only at the early stages of the Grotto-Heaven realm.
In a few flashes, he had already arrived five kilometers above Xue Feng.
Chi! Chi! Chi! Xue Feng released thousands of Quintessential Essence threads that swept through his surroundings.
These human Marquis Godfiends are becoming more and more cautious after being ambushed by fourth Firmament demon monarch teams. Patriarch Yellow Oscillate carefully approached Xue Feng. Quintessential Essence threads spread out in all directions, including five kilometers above Xue Feng. There are Quintessential Essence threads above them. These Quintessential Essence threads are constantly changing direction, I’m unable to discern any pattern to the threads’ movements.
I’ll be exposed once a Quintessential Essence thread brushes past me. Patriarch Yellow Oscillate carefully approached Xue Feng. Although over 1,000 Quintessential Essence threads swept across Xue Feng’s surroundings, they were ultimately scattered. Five kilometers away, the two Quintessential Essence threads were quite far from each other. Patriarch Yellow Oscillate was confident that he wouldn’t be discovered.
The closer I get to him, the more Quintessential Essence threads there will be. This distance is enough. Patriarch Yellow Oscillate suddenly flashed and charged at Xue Feng
Xue Feng’s Quintessential Essence threads irregularly swept through his surroundings to prevent himself from being ambushed. Some Quintessential Essence threads were used to deal with demon monarchs.
Quintessential Essence threads brushed past Patriarch Yellow Oscillate when he was three kilometers away from Xue Feng, revealing his figure.
What? Xue Feng looked up and saw a handsome yellow-robed man. The yellow-robed man, with fair skin and cold eyes, lunged down. A fifth Firmament demon monarch? Xue Feng shuddered and dove down without any hesitation. At the same time, he swung his sword upwards. Chi! Chi! Chi!
SW
VO
Wisps of wind-like sword shadows swept towards the yellow-robed man. This was the strongest move of the Fifteen Golden Wind Swords that he could execute-Bone-Locking Stance.
With my Black Sand Fiend Body, this Bone-Locking Stance has the strength of an ordinary Regis Godfiend. Even if it can block it, its speed will be affected. Xue Feng pondered the battle situation. Following that, he saw the yellow-robed man fly down at high speeds.
With a bang, the yellow-robed man’s protective domain—which covered hundreds of feet-destroyed the Bone-Locking Stance’s sword shadows. He instantly rushed in front of Xue Feng.
Xue Feng saw everything clearly. The other party didn’t rely on his body! Instead, his protective domain, which spanned hundreds of feet, had destroyed the Bone-Locking Stance. If he were to attack directly, how much strength would be behind his attacks?
Boom!
Xue Feng shuddered as he activated his bracelet without any hesitation. This was a defensive treasure bestowed by Archean Mountain.
A cyan beam enveloped Xue Feng, causing his speed to increase exponentially.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
He and the yellow-robed man burrowed into the ground one after another. Underground reconnaissance was a recognized problem in the world. As long as one was half a kilometer away from each other, an enemy typically couldn’t sense them. As for on the surface? One could see the other party even from 50 kilometers away.
What? Lu Cheng and Yan Jin clearly saw the scene from different spots in Windflow City.
The yellow-robed man swooped down at high speed! Xue Feng’s strike was useless. It didn’t slow the yellow-robed man down. In the end, Xue Feng released a terrifying force and fled underground
It’s too fast. It’s much faster than ordinary Regis Godfiends. Lu Cheng and Yan Jin were alarmed.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A violent force erupted underground.
He didn’t manage to escape. They are fighting underground. Lu Cheng and Yan Jin looked underground and could clearly sense the terrifying fluctuations emanating.
The ripples of battle rapidly moved. In just a few seconds, they traversed more than ten kilometers underground.
In just fifteen seconds —
Clang! Several kilometers outside the city, a cyan beam of light shot out from the ground. A yellow beam of light followed closely behind as the figure inside the yellow beam slashed out.
The saber beam carried an endless silence as the saber beam transformed into a surging river that swept towards the cyan beam.
Cough! Cough! Cough! The cyan light dissipated. Xue Feng’s face was as white as a sheet. “Archean Mountain really thinks highly of you. They gave you such a protective treasure that could resist seven consecutive strikes from me.” After the yellow-robed man landed, he was about to slash out again when he suddenly frowned and looked into the distance. A Godfiend aura erupted from 50 kilometers away, revealing a lightning-clad figure; it was a young man. “Marquis Eastcalm, Meng Chuan? You deliberately flared your aura to lure me away?” The yellow-robed man didn’t hesitate to slash out with his saber.
Meng Chuan had originally been carrying out underground reconnaissance, but he suddenly sensed a powerful aura. It was because the battle between Patriarch Yellow Oscillate and Xue Feng—who had activated his life-preservation treasure—had caused too great a commotion. It was a clash that reached the threshold of the Creation realm.
He rapidly approached the battlefield. When he arrived 50 kilometers away, he saw Patriarch Yellow Oscillate heavily injure Xue Feng with a single strike. Xue Feng had collapsed to the ground.
What a terrifying strike. It feels even more terrifying than King Calm Sea. I’m not its match. Meng Chuan’s heart burned with anxiety. He had no other choice but to unleash his Godfiend aura to attract the demon’s attention. He hoped to stall for time.
The yellow-robed patriarch indeed glanced at Meng Chuan, but he still swung his saber at Xue Feng. The saber beam surged over like the river of the underworld.
Even though he was 50 kilometers away, Meng Chuan’s heart palpitated from the aura of death.
As for Xue Feng—who had used up all his defensive treasures-he was struck by the aura of death at close range. His body and Essence Soul trembled, unable to resist. So many fellow disciples have died in battle. Now, it’s my turn? This thought surfaced in Xue Feng’s mind.
Under the surging saber beams, Xue Feng’s body was reduced to dust as he dissipated into the churning saber beam river.
Meng Chuan stared blankly at this scene. After watching so many Godfiends die in battle, his heart had become numb to such things. However, as he watched Xue Feng die, he still felt endless grief fill his chest.
Chapter 340 - Always My Brother
Xue Feng was a peerless genius of Archean Mountain. When Meng Chuan first entered Archean Mountain, his name had already spread throughout the world. In the World Gap, Meng Chuan
had seen Xue Feng’s talent and love for his younger brother, Yan Jin. This made Meng Chuan find him a very agreeable person.
Such a Godfiend died just like that? Demon monarch. Meng Chuan suddenly moved and approached the yellow-robed man; he moved 7.5 kilometers in a second.
Its strength is probably above King Calm Sea; its strength might even be approaching that of King True Martial. Many thoughts surfaced in Meng Chuan’s mind. An existence at this level can unleash extremely powerful attacks within a five-kilometer radius. King Calm Sea can attack from 50 kilometers away, but the strength of his attacks drastically declines. Furthermore, I’m capable of dodging sword beams that appear out of the void with my speed.
King True Martial’s True Martial domain can unleash his maximum strength within a 2.5-kilometer radius. Beyond 5 kilometers, the strength behind his attacks will be greatly reduced. Any further and the threat should be very low. Its long-distance attacks are clearly inferior to that of King Calm Sea.
When dealing with this demon monarch, the five-kilometer radius around it is a forbidden zone. I have a defensive stone talisman. I can take some risks. I’ll stay 10 kilometers away from it and deliberately bait it into attacking me. If I can stall for enough time, Archean Mountain’s reinforcements might arrive. This was the only way Meng Chuan could immediately seek revenge.
Huh? After the yellow-robed man killed Xue Feng, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. Following that, he saw Meng Chuan approaching from afar. A mere Marquis Godfiend dares to provoke me with his movement technique? Forget it. Meng Chuan’s value isn’t inferior to that of Xue Feng. I’ll kill him as well. The yellow-robed man stood still and waited for the right opportunity. I can unleash 60% of my strength from five kilometers away. It’s enough to kill him.
Whoosh.
Meng Chuan deliberately maintained his speed of 7.5 kilometers per flash. After flying for six seconds, he arrived in midair—10 kilometers away from the yellow-robed man
—and stopped. “Who are you?” Meng Chuan stood in midair and shouted coldly at the yellow-robed man.
He stayed 10 kilometers away from me? The yellow-robed man frowned. His figure phased away. Meng Chuan opened his Divine Eye of Lightning at the center of his brows. His electromagnetic domain spanned a 15-kilometer radius. Electromagnetic waves swept in all directions. They also swept across the yellow-robed man, revealing his location. The yellow-robed man was rapidly approaching Meng Chuan. Oh? Meng Chuan wore a nervous look as he immediately used his movement technique to retreat.
The yellow-robed man frowned. What incredible speed. He struck out with his saber, slashing out a saber beam.
The saber beam transformed into a surging river as the death aura rushed over. Both Meng Chuan’s body and Essence Soul felt uncomfortable even though he was 9 kilometers away. He felt like he had been dragged into a world of death. However, he managed to withstand it.
Meng Chuan executed his movement technique and moved unpredictably.
The saber beam streaked past Meng Chuan’s body. Meng Chuan looked like he was struggling to resist the aura of death as he continued his facade.
Thirty seconds are up. The yellow-robed man remained extremely calm. Time to leave. Without any hesitation, he swooped down and burrowed underground. Only a voice echoed in the world. “Marquis Clear Peace, Xue Feng, is just the beginning.”
It fled? In midair, Meng Chuan scanned the surroundings with his electromagnetic domain. He didn’t dare to go underground.
I have to be within 1.5 kilometers of the demon monarch if I want to tail it underground. With its strength, it can kill me with a single strike if I am within 1.5 kilometers. Meng Chuan had seen the might of the saber strike.
Meng Chuan was already alarmed by the attack’s aura from 9 kilometers away. To go within 1.5 kilometers of that demon monarch? That was a death wish. Archean Mountain only had one such protective stone talisman. Archean Mountain didn’t give it to Regis Godfiends or anyone else. It was given directly to Meng Chuan.
He couldn’t be rash. After standing in midair for a few seconds, Meng Chuan turned his head and saw a dark stream of light flying over. It moved over 10 kilometers in a second.
It’s Supremacy Li Guan’s Essence Soul avatar. Meng Chuan recognized it at a glance. An Essence Soul avatar isn’t burdened by a body. It’s said that it can fly even faster than the true body.
For example, Quintessential Essence threads —which were pure energy-were extremely fast, far faster than Meng Chuan. An Essence Soul avatar wasn’t restrained by a body, so it was much faster than the true body. However, its strength was inferior to the actual body.
“The demon monarch has left?” The dark figure flew to Meng Chuan’s side and stopped. It was Li Guan’s Essence Soul avatar.
“It fled 15 seconds ago,” said Meng Chuan.
“I’ve already used a treasure and arrived in less than 30 seconds, yet I didn’t arrive in time.” Li Guan sighed softly. Through the token, he knew that Xue Feng had died.
“That demon monarch was very cautious. I tried to bait him into killing me. He only attacked me once before burrowing into the ground.” Meng Chuan pointed into the distance. “Xue Feng died there.”
The two flew to the spot in the wilderness. The only thing that could be seen was a ravine-left behind by the demon monarch’s saber beam. There were no traces of Xue Feng’s corpse. Nothing of it was left.
“Xue Feng had a protective treasure, but it actually failed to keep him alive for such a short period of time.” Li Guan sighed softly. “I’ll try to pry into spacetime now. Don’t disturb me.”
“Yes.” Meng Chuan nodded.
Li Guan stood there with his gaze unfocused. Through spacetime, he observed what had happened in that short period of time.
Scenes appeared. He saw what happened to Xue Feng. He saw Xue Feng and the yellow-robed man rushing underground, quickly pursuing Xue Feng. They finally rushed to the surface when Xue Feng’s defensive treasure’s power had been completely depleted. At that moment, Meng Chuan appeared 50 kilometers away and deliberately flared his aura to attract the demon monarch. However, the yellow-robed man continued to deliver that fateful strike at Xue Feng.
Whoosh. Whoosh. Yan Jin and Lu Cheng landed. The two of them had seen the battle from afar. They also saw Xue Feng being killed by the yellow-robed man.
“Junior Brother Xue didn’t want to implicate the mortals in the city or us. Therefore, he fled out of the city with all his might,” said Lu Cheng softly. Yan Jin looked at the ravine left behind by the saber beam in a daze.
“The murderer is Demon Sage Yellow Oscillate,” said Li Guan.
“Demon Sage Yellow Oscillate?” Meng Chuan, Yan Jin, and Lu Cheng memorized the name.
Lu Cheng asked, “Archean Mountain sent dossiers with information on demon sages. Shouldn’t Patriarch Yellow Oscillate have two horns and black scales on his body?”
“Since it has come to the human world, it’ll definitely hide the traces of its demon heritage and disguise itself as a human. The demon monarch’s appearance may have changed, but its moves haven’t,” said Li Guan. “It used the Stygian Saber Art. Only Patriarch Yellow Oscillate can use that saber art to such a level.”
Li Guan stood there and looked at the ravine. There was nothing left of Xue Feng’s body. “We can only make a cenotaph.” Li Guan shook his head gently. “In the past three years, the demon monarchs have attacked cities over and over again. Marquis Clear Peace, Xue Feng, is the sixth Marquis Godfiend who has died in battle. I’ll temporarily guard Windflow City. Archean Mountain will soon make new arrangements for Windflow City. Li Guan glanced at Lu Cheng and Yan Jin before transforming into a stream of light and flying towards Windflow City.
Lu Cheng gently patted Yan Jin’s shoulder and whispered, “Junior Brother Yan, my condolences. Since we were deployed to guard a city, all of us are prepared to die in battle. Junior Brother Xue died in battle while defending the city. He’s a hero.”
After sayin
g that, he flew towards Windflow City. They were no longer children, so there was no need to say too much. Everyone had seen their fair share of tragedies since they involved themselves in the war.
Meng Chuan and Yan Jin stood in front of the ravine and watched as they mourned Xue Feng.
“Yan Jin.” Meng Chuan looked at the ravine in front of him and said, “Now that your brother is dead, there are some things that I should tell you.”
Yan Jin looked at Meng Chuan.
“That ice lotus flower was obtained by your brother. He wanted to give it to you, but because he was afraid you would refuse it, he got me to hand it to you and keep it a secret,” said Meng Chuan. “Now that he has passed away, I think you should know what he has done for you.”
“Mmm.” Yan Jin’s eyes turned slightly red as he whispered, “He’s my brother, always my brother. I’m blessed to be his younger brother.”
“He’s a hero,” said Meng Chuan. “It’s because of heroes like your brother that we can fend off the demons and protect all the humans in this world.”
Yan Jin looked at the ravine and said softly, “I’ll help him finish his unfinished business.”
Meng Chuan nodded. “I’ll be leaving first.” He transformed into lightning and left. Meng Chuan still had to continue his underground reconnaissance and kill demon monarchs.
Only Yan Jin remained outside the city. He stood alone in front of the ravine.
Chapter 341 - Everywhere
Black Sand Grotto-Heaven.
At the summit of a mountain, clouds swirled around a building. Bai Yaoyue sat cross-legged on the top platform of the nine-story building. Her eyes were filled with anger as two illusory figures flew over from afar.
“Junior Sister Bai, what’s the matter?” an illusory Meng Tiange and an illusory Mi Yu flew over.
“Xue Feng is dead,” Bai Yaoyue said coldly.
