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

Not good. Demon Monarch Cat didn’t hesitate to flee. His nine phantoms fled in all directions.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Meng Chuan split into nine figures. They moved even faster than Demon Monarch Cat. Each figure cleaved at one of Demon Monarch Cat’s phantoms.

Pfft. Finally, Demon Monarch Cat’s true body was injured. Demon Monarch continued fleeing again with a whoosh.

Oh? Meng Chuan frowned slightly. Demon Monarch Cat was the fastest and most agile third Firmament demon monarch he had ever encountered. He had extremely tenacious vitality as well. Originally, he thought he could suppress his opponent and kill him in two or three moves, but to his surprise, the other party put up a fierce struggle.

He’s too fast. I actually encountered someone faster than me. He forcefully cracked my strongest Illusory Body Demon Art with his speed. Demon Monarch Cat reeled in anxiety.

Demon Monarch Cat’s expression suddenly changed. Huh? As Meng Chuan rapidly approached and released some baneful aura, Demon Monarch Cat could feel a bone-chilling coldness. This chill only affected him slightly, but what made Demon Monarch Cat despair the most was the saber that appeared in front of him instantaneously. This strike was much more terrifying than the ones before.

The black baneful aura quickly retracted into Meng Chuan’s body as Demon Monarch Cat’s head flew up.

Meng Chuan glanced at the two Godfiends behind him—Cheng Ke and Fu Nuo. “Hurry up and leave the eastern district. Leave it to me.”

“Yes, Senior Brother Meng,” Cheng Ke and Fu Nuo immediately replied.

Following that, they saw Meng Chuan disappear into the rain with a flash.

They were astounded by Meng Chuan’s display of strength. Two third Firmament demon monarchs had been killed with a single strike. Even the mighty Demon Monarch Cat had been killed in the blink of an eye.

As expected of Archean Mountain’s famous genius, Senior Brother Meng. Meng Chuan had been the most famous disciple when Fu Nuo was still cultivating at Archean Mountain.

“Let’s leave quickly.” Cheng Ke and Fu Nuo first settled their companion’s corpse. Ignoring their grief, they headed straight for the city’s western district.

…

That Demon Monarch Cat actually forced me to use the Power of Essence Soul. If Meng Chuan hadn’t used the Power of Essence Soul—considering Demon Monarch Cat’s demonic spells and life-preservation abilities—he probably would’ve exchanged over ten blows with Demon Monarch Cat before killing him. However, Meng Chuan knew that the Godfiends in the eastern district were being slain one after another. He had to stop the losses as soon as possible.

Of course, he had only fused the Power of Essence Soul with his Quintessential Essence. With his powerful Essence Soul, such a move was not very draining on his reserves.

Meng Chuan searched for the strongest Godfiend killer. As he did so, he killed any demon monarchs he encountered immediately.

“Let’s quickly meet up with Junior Brother Meng!” Zhang Yunfeng and Yang Fang were stronger than Meng Chuan. When the demon monarchs invaded, they immediately left the manor and used their tokens to locate Meng Chuan. They had rushed to the south, hoping to meet up with him.

However, the duo was much slower than Meng Chuan. On their way, they discovered Godfiends in the eastern district being killed one after another. At that moment, Meng Chuan had already finished killing the demon monarchs in the southern district and was rushing towards the eastern district.

“Junior Brother Meng has reached the city’s eastern district.” Zhang Yunfeng and Yang Fang quickly rushed towards Meng Chuan once they confirmed his location.

“There are demon monarchs here.” Yang Fang saw three demon monarchs crazily storming a tunnel and slaughtering mortals.

“Humph.” The white-haired Zhang Yunfeng’s eyes turned cold. The three demon monarchs—that were roughly a kilometer away—suddenly saw white. Countless white threads instantly penetrated and killed the three demon monarchs.

With the Indestructible Divine Body—which was the strongest at domains in the Quintessential Essence cultivation system—coupled with his Greater Master of the Realm of Dao and domain, Zhang Yunfeng was stronger than newly-advanced Marquis Godfiends. He could even kill Demon Monarch Cat instantly! Meng Chuan would have to flee when facing Zhang Yunfeng. He didn’t dare be trapped within Zhang Yunfeng’s domain.

“Let’s hurry up. The Godfiends in the east are dying too quickly. The death rate far exceeds the other places in Jiang State Capital. I’m worried that there’s a fourth Firmament Skydemon or fourth Firmament demon monarch there.” Zhang Yunfeng’s eyes were filled with worry. “If that’s the case, Junior Brother Meng will be in grave danger. We are old, so we have to protect Junior Brother Meng no matter what.”

“Yes.” Yang Fang nodded as well.

The duo followed the token’s indications, transformed into a blur, and rushed towards Meng Chuan.
