Chapter 201 - Archean Mountain Godfiend (1/2)
Although Qian Mo had sought help, he had only encountered three Second Firmament demon monarchs. At this threat level, his request for help would naturally not reach Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue. In fact, even the prefecture’s only Godfiend team was not deployed. Instead, they sent out a third Firmament avian demon monarch—that was about 150 kilometers away. The avian demon monarch was fast enough to reach Willow River Fort, save Qian Mo, and kill the three Second Firmament demon monarchs.
Ever since the demons’ first large scale attack, the number of avian demon monarchs under the control of humans had greatly increased. However, it was not easy to control them completely. Because of this, humans mostly controlled the avian demon monarchs directly.
Avian demon monarchs were extremely fast. They could fly, provide help, monitor, and send letters… They could be used for many different things.
“That Demon Monarch Cat was a demon monarch with a divine power.” Liu Qiyue and Meng Chuan were chatting idly along the way. “Speaking of which, Ah Chuan, you have killed quite a few demon monarchs with divine powers, right?”
“Yes, a few.” Meng Chuan nodded. “Demon monarchs with divine powers are very strong. For example, Demon Monarch White Fox was adept at bewitchment. Unless one condenses an Essence Soul or has an extremely strong will, they would be affected. They might be killed instantly. Demon Monarch Cat’s divine powers were similarly strange.”
Demon Monarch Cat’s divine powers targeted the head, so having a strong will was useless. There were only two ways to deal with such an attack. One method was to have an extremely powerful physical body. For example, Meng Chuan had attained the Diamond Body, so his head could withstand it completely. The divine power was useless against him.
The second method was to possess an Essence Soul. When the head was heavily injured and unable to control the body, one would have to rely on the Power of Essence Soul to control their body. The fusion of Essence Soul and one’s body provided one with quicker reaction speed. One’s control over their body was also much more refined. However, this consumed one’s Power of Essence Soul’s reserves rather quickly.
It was extremely difficult for typical Great Solar Godfiends to have a powerful physical body or an Essence Soul.
This was why Demon Monarch Cat was terrifying! Fortunately, the four Godfiends could help each other. If they were to fight one-on-one, none of them would be a match for Demon Monarch Cat.
“In this world, there are many demon monarchs with divine powers.” Meng Chuan shook his head gently. “The Godfiend teams across the world are at a disadvantage. Fortunately, there are Marquis Godfiends and rescue teams like us that can help the various areas. However, sometimes we might be too late by the time we arrive to help. Thus, this war is destined to be tragic.”
“Archean Mountain has over 100 peak Great Solar Godfiends. They can easily form dozens of rescue teams. Every prefecture will have two or three Marquis Godfiends as Patrollers,” said Liu Qiyue. “We have sufficient strength to deal with most threats that require our help. We have enough strength to kill those demon monarchs with divine powers. In the Demon Realm, there aren’t many demon monarchs with divine powers. Each one we kill is important.”
Meng Chuan only knew little of Archean Mountain’s plans, but their current situation wasn’t bad. However, the demons attacked everywhere, making deaths of innocent mortals inevitable. In fact, under the premise of ensuring the survival of humanity, Archean Mountain had already tried its best to protect mortals.
Mmm? Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue’s expression suddenly changed. From afar, they saw billowing smoke.
“A demon monarch attack?” Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue looked at each other. They shared the same thoughts, and they immediately headed straight towards the smoke.
They were extremely fast. Their surroundings blurred due to the lightning around them and the speed they moved at. They moved several times faster than the speed of sound.
Soon, they saw a half-destroyed fort castle. Within the ruins, one could vaguely make out a few human corpses. They could also see three demon monarchs attacking a Godfiend.
The Godfiend cast a forbidden Godfiend spell and used his two sabers to resist the three demon monarchs’ attacks, but he had a claw mark on his chest. The claw had nearly torn his body apart. Fortunately for him, he had retreated quickly, but it still injured his internal organs. He had tried his best to stop the bleeding.
“He can’t hold on any longer.” As Meng Chuan said that, he let go of his wife and rushed over to save the Godfiend.
…
Many tunnels in Willow River Fort had cracked open from the shockwaves. The mortals within those tunnels could see the battle outside through the cracks.
Lord Qian was fighting with three terrifying demon monarchs. The shockwaves were simply devastating.
“Lord Qian.” The child, Hong Chong, and the surrounding villagers watched everything through the cracks. Hong Chong had never imagined that Lord Qian was a powerful Godfiend!
However, Lord Qian was clearly at a disadvantage as the three demon monarchs attacked his blood-stained body.
“Lord Qian.” Hong Chong was extremely anxious. He hoped that Lord Qian—who often guided him in his cultivation and gave him meat buns—would survive.
“Lord Qian, you must win.” The villagers were also hoping for his victory. The villagers knew very well that they could only survive if Lord Qian won. Otherwise, the 6000 villagers hiding in the tunnels would all die.
Whoosh.
Suddenly, a figure appeared, and the three demon monarchs silently collapsed. It was a black-robed youth.
The villagers saw Lord Qian bow respectfully and excitedly talked to the black-clothed youth.
“The demon monarchs are all dead.”
“A more powerful Godfiend has arrived.”
The villagers could tell that the black-robed youth’s status was clearly higher than that of Lord Qian. The moment he arrived, the three demon monarchs died instantly.
