Chapter 61 (1/2)

With the token in hand, Demon Monarch Poison Pool immediately sensed the positions of the other 18 tokens. Nine tokens had become ownerless. Clearly, nine commanders had died.

Oh? Blazing Sun Dao Academy? Poison Pool immediately confirmed one direction. There were two commanders there. One is dead, and Commander Ox is still alive. That newly-advanced, weak Godfiend should still be at Blazing Sun Dao Academy trying to kill Commander Ox. I have to hurry.

Poison Pool knew that the incognito Godfiend would search for new prey once they killed a demon commander. Therefore, only by searching for a live demon commander would he have a chance of finding the incognito Godfiend.

Phew~

Poison Pool transformed into a blur as he moved. Within 100-feet, black fog surrounded him; wherever the black fog touched, corpses would turn into pools of blood. The human experts—who were hidden in areas—were all killed by the fog, their bodies being reduced to nothing but blood.Although Poison Pool didn’t care too much about mortals, he didn’t mind crushing these ants as he passed by.

Laughable humans. Poison Pool glanced at the human mortals he had discovered along the way. If it weren’t for the fact that I had to find that weak Godfiend as soon as possible, I alone would’ve massacred all the humans in this prefecture.

When one’s strength reached a certain level, there was a fundamental difference. Even if a million mortals were to fight Demon Monarch Poison Pool, Demon Monarch Poison Pool wouldn’t suffer any injuries, while all the humans would be killed. In reality, however, mortals would flee in all directions once the situation went south. Regardless of how powerful demon monarchs were, they couldn’t do much. This was where having a colossal demon army shined.

At city passes, humans served in the military to defend against the locust-like demon army. As for the demon monarchs? They were left to Godfiends.

Whoosh.

Poison Pool’s speed was terrifying as he rushed towards Blazing Sun Dao Academy.

…

Blazing Sun Dao Academy.

“Retreat.”

“Let’s retreat.”

The demons suffered a collapse in morale; they were at a disadvantage. This caused many of the demon lieutenant commanders to order a retreat.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! One demon after another jumped down from the windows. The lieutenant commanders fled at top speed.

“Kill them.”

“Kill those demons!” The fighting spirit of the humans inside Blazing Sun Castle surged. Short spears pierced through demon bodies. Ballistae fired bolts, which pierced through several demons like skewers. The humans inside Blazing Sun Castle held onto their advantage and beat the demons back! They chased after the demons.

Demons were intelligent. They could tell that with Commander Wyrm dead, and Commander Ox nearing death, they stood no chance. Even if Commander Ox escaped and survived, the human expert would turn around and kill them. Death wasn’t far.

The situation was destined to be irreversible.

Therefore, it was wiser to escape as quickly as possible while the human expert fought Commander Ox. No matter how powerful the human expert was, he was only one person. How many could the mysterious human expert kill if they all fled in scattered directions?

They can escape, but I can’t. Commander Ox had already cast forbidden spells as he stirred the Heaven and Earth powers, causing waves to form around him.

Commander Ox brandished his trident and tried to block Meng Chuan’s saber beams.

Swoosh.

Meng Chuan was extremely fast, but whenever he approached Commander Ox, the churning waves caused his speed to decrease by 30%. The speed of his attacks slowed down drastically. Commander Ox brandished his trident and completely blocked Meng Chuan’s attacks.

My strength is equal to this demon commander’s if I don’t use the Power of the Soul. Meng Chuan secretly shook his head. I can’t afford any further delays. I need to head to the ancestral mansion as soon as possible.

His grandaunt had asked him to protect as many clansmen as possible.

Although the eight Dao Academies were the demons’ primary targets—the government office, the military armory, and the five Godfiend family clans being secondary targets—this still involved the safety of 3,000 Meng family members. As long as there were no Godfiends and demon monarchs, he could still act as a deterrent. He was confident in protecting the family clan. Of course, if the Godfiends lost to the demon monarchs at Jadesun Palace, he would flee immediately as per his grandaunt’s instructions.

Jadesun Palace Lord, Grandaunt, and the others will definitely win. All Meng Chuan could do was hope. Many thoughts surfaced in his mind, but his battle with Commander Ox did not stop. After two failed attacks, Meng Chuan infused the Power of the Soul into his whole body again.
