Chapter 173 - Gathering in East City (1/2)

A blurry figure clad in lightning rushed through the rain, heading straight for Jiang State Capital’s eastern district.

Meng Chuan held a token in his hand. Godfiends are constantly dying in the east? As one of the three strongest Godfiends in the city, he could keep tabs on all the Godfiends with his token. He had just discovered that the Godfiend death rate in the eastern district far exceeded the other regions.

Although his strength was inferior to a Marquis Godfiend or fourth firmament Skydemon, his speed was greater than Blackwater Palace Lord’s. He had already killed all the demon monarchs in the southern region while Blackwater Palace Lord was still travelling through the vast eastern district.

Another Godfiend died in battle? Meng Chuan suddenly sensed a Godfiend—more than 1.5 kilometers away—had perished. His eyes flashed fiercely as he rushed towards the Godfiend.

…

The strongest demon monarch in the eastern district, Demon Monarch Cat, led two third Firmament demon monarchs and surrounded three Godfiends. It was a three-on-three battle! However, the humans soon lost an Indestructible Godfiend.

Not good. A Great Solar Godfiend, Cheng Ke, looked at the nine Demon Monarch Cat phantoms that had manifested in the rain. Although he had unleashed all his Quintessential Essence and forbidden Godfiend spells, he still felt death approaching. The thin and weak figure behind him—Fu Nuo, another Indestructible Godfiend—was even more nervous. She glanced at their fallen comrade in grief.

“Junior Sister Fu, it looks like I won’t be able to protect you.” Cheng Ke felt disconsolate.

Fu Nuo’s face was filled with determination. “Senior Brother Cheng, every demon monarch we kill counts.”

Cheng Ke held a long spear in his hand. He liked this junior sister a lot, and he had thought that he was strong enough to protect Fu Nuo. He had tried his best to woo Fu Nuo. He had never expected to encounter Demon Monarch Cat and two other demon monarchs in the city’s eastern district.

Pfft.

The nine Demon Monarch Cat phantoms’ claws swiped past Cheng Ke’s long spear and struck his chest. Although Cheng Ke’s inner armor protected him somewhat, he still staggered back a few steps. He spat out a mouthful of blood as a look of terror appeared on his face. “Junior Sister Fu!”

Since he had staggered backward, Fu Nuo—who he had been protecting—was placed in a perilous situation. Fu Nuo—an Indestructible Godfiend that specialized in illusions—was far inferior to the three demon monarchs in head-on combat.

“Die you blasted Mirage Fiend.” Demon Monarch Cat wanted to kill the female Godfiend the most, but the other two Godfiends had been protecting her.

“Female Godfiend.” A rhinoceros demon charged forward with a large hammer.

A demon monarch also hid underground, waiting for their chance to attack.

Demon Monarch Cat suddenly turned his head. Huh? He saw a bolt of lightning in the distant rain approaching them! He could see a blurry figure amidst the lightning!

Lightning Devastator Fiend Body! Demon Monarch Cat’s fur stood on end. Only Godfiends with Lightning Devastator Fiend Bodies were adept at controlling lightning and capable of moving at such speeds.

Huh? The Indestructible Mirage Fiend, Fu Nuo, saw the scene play out.

A saber beam sliced through the rain and struck Demon Monarch Cat. However, the body dissipated into nothingness.

Nine Demon Monarch Cat phantoms appeared as he retreated rapidly. Demon Monarch Cat loudly shouted, “It’s Meng Chuan!”

Only a handful of Great Solar Godfiends had cultivated the Lightning Devastator Fiend Body, and there was only one who was so powerful and used saber arts—Meng Chuan with his perfected Lightning Devastator Fiend Body!

He dodged it? Meng Chuan—who was bathed in lightning—looked at Demon Monarch Cat with surprise. He could sense the strength of Demon Monarch Cat’s aura with his perception domain. Demon Monarch Cat was likely a third Firmament elite demon monarch! However, Demon Monarch Cat’s agility surprised Meng Chuan.

Boom! Boom!

Two blinding saber beams streaked across the sky. One saber beam struck the hammer-wielding rhinoceros demon—who tried to block the saber beam with his hammer—but his hammer was sent flying as he smashed through multiple residential compound walls. The rhinoceros demon coughed twice before falling silent. He had died on the spot.

The other saber beam struck the ground, forming a ravine. It struck the black-robed demon monarch—who was hiding underground—causing him to explode.

Ordinary third Firmament demon monarchs could not withstand a single strike from Meng Chuan.
