Chapter 143 - Retreat! (1/2)

Meng Chuan and company were attacked by the demon monarchs, but their defense was impregnable.

General Zhang Yunhu—who was protected inside—could freely throw his short spears. Another short spear transformed into a golden beam as it shot out. Just 100 feet away, an ordinary third Firmament demon monarch was unable to dodge the spear. With its head penetrated, it immediately collapsed.

“Leader, we can’t continue like this.” When a buffalo demon monarch saw this, he sent a voice transmission. “We tried attacking Meng Chuan, but we couldn’t break his defense! Zhang Yunhu can release his short spears without any worries. Five third Firmament demon monarchs dead. We can’t allow Zhang Yunhu to continue attacking us so freely.”

The black-robed demoness stared coldly at the battlefield as she considered the situation. Her plan had failed. She originally believed that no matter how fast Meng Chuan was, it would be difficult for him to block the attacks from a group of demon monarchs completely. Furthermore, he was a rookie who had no experience on the battlefield. It should’ve been easy for them to break through his defenses. If she could kill this human genius who had a perfected Lightning Devastator Fiend Body, she would earn plenty of credit!

However, things developed differently from what she had expected.

Her plan wasn’t bad. She just didn’t know that Meng Chuan’s Essence Soul had already reached the second level. His perception domain spanned 200 feet, and there was nothing that could escape his senses within that range. Meng Chuan was also stronger than she had expected. He could fuse the Power of Essence Soul into his body at any time.

“Change targets and attack Shi Xiu,” ordered the black-robed demoness via voice transmission.

“Okay.” All the demon monarchs’ morale revitalized.

They had long given up on attacking Meng Chuan, and they could only attack other human Godfiends after being given the order. The demons followed strict rules. If they violated the order, death was a certainty.

“This Meng Chuan’s movement technique is too strange. He puts up a powerful defense. We can’t even break it. However, Shi Xiu is much weaker.” These demon monarchs were filled with confidence. The other human Godfiends were old opponents.

In terms of close combat, among their past opponents, Zhang Yunhu was the strongest! Next was the dual-sword-wielding female Godfiend, Mu Qing. The last was Sanguine Godfiend, Shi Xiu.

In terms of defense, Fan Cheng was the strongest!

However, they discovered that Meng Chuan’s defense was in no way inferior to Fan Cheng’s after the battle had barely started.

Boom!

Tentacles and sharp vines drilled out from underground as they attacked Shi Xiu.

One demon monarch after another came close!

“Shi Xiu, be careful.”

Everyone was shocked. It was too sudden! Although Meng Chuan and the others stood in separate positions, they were still close to one another. The demon monarchs had been attacking Meng Chuan wildly, but now most of them had directed their attacks at Shi Xiu! The three demon monarch elites were part of this endeavor. Shi Xiu instantly faced a dire situation.

Clang. Zhang Yunhu immediately charged forward. The two short spears in his hands immediately blocked the demon monarchs’ relentless attacks. The spears turned into golden blurs. With a series of moves, Zhang Yunhu was able to block over half of the attacks directed at Shi Xiu by himself. Only then did Shi Xiu block the remaining attacks. It prevented the demon monarchs from threatening Yang Xingwu and company.

With Zhang Yunhu’s help, Shi Xiu could easily withstand the crazy attacks. However, Zhang Yunhu was unable to divert his attention to kill the enemies.

They have underestimated me. Meng Chuan’s eyes flashed coldly. He had originally been surrounded by a large group of demon monarchs, but now, only five demon monarchs were attacking him. They are all ordinary third Firmament demon monarchs? Not even a demon monarch elite?

Dragon Roar Stance!

Meng Chuan did not hesitate to attack.

Meng Chuan seemingly split into five. Each figure stabbed out with a blinding beam that resembled lightning. They pierced through the void, bringing with it a strange spinning trajectory. The saber beams produced ear-piercing screeches. The saber beams were like dragons rushing out from the water. The five third Firmament demon monarchs only saw a blinding flash before the saber beams appeared in front of them.

It was too fast! Even the void distorted, and the distance was warped.

The five demon monarchs had no time to dodge.

Pu! Pu! Pu! Pu! Pu!

Every demon monarch’s glabella was pierced and the saber beams exited their skulls. A demon monarch could hold out for a little longer after their hearts were destroyed, but having their heads penetrated meant certain death.

One demon monarch after another collapsed.

This made the demon monarchs that were excited to attack Shi Xiu freeze. Following that, their hearts turned cold!

Five third Firmament demon monarchs died in a single exchange?

“His kills were way too fast! Zhang Yunhu’s attacks aren’t even that fast, right?”

“A perfected Lightning Devastator Fiend Body is as fast as lightning. It’s truly fast.”

“Too fast.”
