Chapter 143 - Retreat! (2/2)

The ordinary third Firmament demon monarchs shuddered.

With a perfected transcendent-grade Godfiend body, Meng Chuan’s strength and Quintessential Essence were enough to crush these demon monarchs completely! His saber realm didn’t need mentioning. Only the demon monarch elites could fight him. Furthermore, he had an Essence Soul domain. He could perfectly grasp the situation on the battlefield! He did not even need to use the Power of Essence Soul to counterattack.

The five ordinary third Firmament demon monarchs weren’t worthy of him using the Power of Essence Soul.

“Awesome.” Zhang Yunhu—who had been forced to defend—as well as Shi Xiu, Yu Chiyan, and the others were overjoyed.

However, the demon monarchs’ side was the complete opposite. They were somewhat flustered.

“This Meng Chuan’s defense is powerful, but his offense is even more terrifying.”

“His saber is too fast. It’s so fast that it’s difficult to defend against it.”

“According to the intelligence, a Great Solar Godfiend with a perfected Lightning Devastator Fiend Body can match a fifth Firmament demon monarch’s speed! His attacks are also extremely fast.”

“It’s best we don’t engage in close combat with him. Even if we engage in close combat, we will need to surround him with ten-plus demon monarchs like before. It will give him enough pressure.”

The demon monarchs discussed through voice transmissions, and their attacks slowed down.

“Leader, ten third Firmament demon monarchs have died. What should we do?” asked an ox demon monarch. He was the second-in-command, and his background wasn’t much weaker than the leader’s. He was just slightly weaker.

According to past experience, although there weren’t any demon monarch elites that had died, losing ten was still considered a large loss.

“This Meng Chuan…” The black-robed demoness had a headache.

Attack Meng Chuan? They couldn’t break his defense. This allowed Zhang Yunhu to throw his terrifying short spears. Give up on him? Meng Chuan would counterattack! Meng Chuan attacked as fast as lightning, and his speed at killing weaker demon monarchs was higher than Zhang Yunhu’s!

They couldn’t attack or give up on him!

“Retreat!” ordered the black-robed demoness immediately via voice transmission. “Pass down the orders. Retreat.”

At the critical moment, retreating minimized their losses.

“Okay.” All the third Firmament demon monarchs immediately bunched up and stopped attacking. Instead, they hid inside the stacked domains.

A low beast horn sounded.

The second Firmament demon monarchs who were fighting the human Godfiends on the wall were taken aback. Following that, they jumped down the city wall without any hesitation. Even though Liu Qiyue’s arrows landed one after another, the demon monarchs continued running towards the World Entrance.

The demons—that had been trying to climb up the city wall—immediately receded like a flood, wildly charging towards the World Entrance.

All of them were retreating!

On the other hand, the demons that were at the outer city wall were in despair. They were unable to retreat and could only crazily charge forward. They wanted to rush out of the city gates as soon as possible and obtain complete freedom.

“The demons have retreated.” Zhang Yunhu smiled. Everyone felt relieved.

“Junior Brother Meng, well done!” Shi Xiu praised.

“Alright, don’t be too happy. Continue holding these third Firmament demon monarchs back. We must be careful that it’s not a trick. They might suddenly attack the city wall,” instructed Zhang Yunhu.

…

The demon monarchs did not try pulling off any tricks. Perhaps they knew that it was useless in front of an experienced general like Zhang Yunhu.

Soon, the second Firmament demon monarchs—who were alive—returned to the Demon Realm via the World Entrance. Many mortal demons were fleeing. Following that, 15 third Firmament demon monarchs fled into the World Entrance. Finally, 35 more demon monarchs, including the black-robed demoness, entered the World Entrance.

Boom!

All the demons that were unable to escape from the human world were slaughtered by the human Godfiends.

Only a small number of demons would be imprisoned. In the future, they would be used as sparring partners for the human soldiers and youths. The other demons were killed without mercy.

…

The demon monarchs returned to the Demon Realm. An hour later, North River Pass completely calmed down. Out in the wilderness, soldiers chased after the demons that had managed to escape North River Pass.
