Chapter 210: Fate’s Grace
The distance between Gu Mountain Prefecture City and Eastcalm Prefecture’s Peace County City was 315 kilometers. Meng Chuan and his wife crossed mountains and rivers as they traveled in a straight line. In less than five minutes, they saw Peace County City.
Occasional raindrops fell from the gloomy sky as the wind blew.
Mmm? Meng Chuan immediately saw a battle occurring in the distant county city. Many areas had been reduced rubbles, leaving only the demon monarchs and G.o.dfiends fighting in the city visible. The mortals were probably hiding in the tunnels and praying.
“Seven demon monarchs?” Meng Chuan sent a voice transmission to Liu Qiyue. “Do it like we always do.”
“Be careful,” said Liu Qiyue as usual.
“Don’t worry. I’ll kill these seven demon monarchs within ten strikes.” Filled with confidence, Meng Chuan rushed towards the battlefield.
A pair of flaming wings formed on Liu Qiyue’s back. After flying forward, she hovered in the air—roughly one kilometer away from the battlefield. She held her bow in one hand as she grabbed an arrow with her other hand. She looked down at the battlefield, prepared to help Meng Chuan at any moment.
Liu Qiyue had her reasons for staying more than one kilometer away from the battlefield. Zhang Yunfeng’s white domain and a second-level Essence Soul’s perception range was roughly a kilometer! Meng Chuan’s Soul-Vanquis.h.i.+ng Spike only had an effective range slightly over half a kilometer (approximately 2,000 feet). Therefore maintaining a distance of one kilometer from the battlefield was extremely important. Even Marquis G.o.dfiends and fourth Firmament demon monarchs’ attacking range couldn’t exceed a kilometer. Great Solar G.o.dfiend sharpshooters instinctively stayed at least one kilometer away from the enemy.
Meng Chuan rushed towards the battlefield as a bolt of lightning. Liu Qiyue—who had flame wings spread out behind her—was very eye-catching. The four G.o.dfiends who were surrounded raised their heads. They were delighted to see what they had been hoping for.
“It’s Senior Brother Meng.”
“Senior Brother Meng and Senior Sister Liu are here!”
“Senior Brother Meng indeed has a perfected Lightning Devastator Fiend Body! It only took him about five minutes to arrive.”
Lu Fang and company were delighted by their prompt arrival.
…
It’s them? In the tea house a few kilometers away from the battlefield, the gray-robed Greater Demon Monarch Fu Jiao disbelievingly looked at Meng Chuan—who had swooped down—and Liu Qiyue as she spread her wings!
Liu Qiyue and Meng Chuan? Fu Jiao found it unbelievable that these two big fish had arrived in front of him. He had been waiting to kill a big fish for a very long time. However, seeing Liu Qiyue and Meng Chuan was completely beyond his expectations. Archean Mountain had over a hundred powerful Great Solar G.o.dfiends form teams. Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue were one team.
Most G.o.dfiends were similar to Zhang Yunfeng and Yang Fang. They were very strong, but they were very old. It was very difficult for most G.o.dfiends to reach the Realm of Dao before the age of 50. Most would reach the Realm of Dao by the time they’re 150 years old. Thus, the vast majority of Archean Mountain’s stronger Great Solar G.o.dfiends were much older. Very few were young geniuses.
However, even geniuses had different levels of talent. For geniuses like Meng Chuan, Xue Feng, and Yan Chitong, they were destined to become Marquis G.o.dfiends due to their youth and strength. They had a chance of becoming Regis G.o.dfiends, making them greatly valued by Archean Mountain. Liu Qiyue was slightly weaker than them. She could definitely become a Marquis with the aid of her phoenix bloodline, but the chances of her becoming a Regis G.o.dfiend were slim. However, her bloodline could be inherited, so she was still very important to the human race.
I actually encountered two of the humans’ most ill.u.s.trious genius youths—Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue? Haha, these two large fishes really landed in my lap. They are fat and tender. If I kill them, Archean Mountain will probably go crazy from anger. The credit I gain from killing them is almost comparable to killing two Marquis G.o.dfiends. Fu JIao was very excited. Don’t be anxious. Don’t panic. Fu Jiao quickly calmed himself down. If I’m too excited and allow them to escape, I’ll regret it for my entire life.
At the same time, Fu Jiao quickly pondered on how he should deal with Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue. Meng Chuan is extremely fast. He is definitely as fast as a Regis G.o.dfiend. If I alarm him, he will immediately escape with Liu Qiyue. Liu Qiyue has the Phoenix Divine Body, allowing her to use Phoenix’s Nirvana.
Fu Jiao’s eyes narrowed. Their statuses are extraordinary. Archean Mountain might’ve given them protective treasures. It’s impossible to be 100% confident in everything. An 80-90% chance of killing them is enough.
Fu Jiao silently left the tea house. He walked along the streets as a phantom, rapidly approaching Meng Chuan.
He restrained his aura as he manipulated the light waves, making him invisible to the naked eye.
He approached the battlefield as it rained.
I have to be closer. If I fail my attack because I attacked from a distance, Meng Chuan will flee. I have to be careful. A close-range attack is stronger anyway, so I have a chance of killing him in one strike. Even if I fail, I can follow it up with a few more killer moves. My killer move has to kill Meng Chuan in the blink of an eye! Once Meng Chuan dies, Liu Qiyue—the only sharpshooter—will be unable to do anything since she is far weaker than me. She can’t escape from me if Meng Chuan dies. Even if she uses Phoenix’s Nirvana, I will still kill her given enough time.
Fu Jiao planned his attack meticulously.
Whoosh~
The rain intensified as the wind blew.
After Meng Chuan landed, the seven demon monarchs fled in panic.
The gray-robed Fu Jiao silently approached the battlefield as it rained. He didn’t care about the seven demon monarchs at all. In fact, n.o.body knew that he was here. He only took action once every few years. He chose a random battlefield to ambush each time. Even his subordinates didn’t know that he was at a battlefield so that he couldn’t be betrayed.
If it were a Marquis G.o.dfiend that came, Fu Jiao would retreat silently. However, this time, Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue were the reinforcements. Fu Jiao believed that this was a gift from the heavens.
The credit obtained from killing them is enough for five Poison Dragon Pills. The corners of Fu Jiao’s mouth curled upwards. He had originally planned on lurking in the human world for 100 years. He had thought it would take that long until he acc.u.mulated enough credit for five Poison Dragon Pills, but to his surprise, Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue had appeared near him.
Perhaps they would become very strong in the future, but they were only Great Solar G.o.dfiends now.
Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!
Meng Chuan was as fast as lightning as he killed the demon monarchs with his saber. The seven demon monarchs fled in panic. The four-man G.o.dfiend team also helped Meng Chuan intercept the demon monarch demons.
Whoosh.
Fu Jiao silently approached, closing the gap from one kilometer to half a kilometer. He was quite fast as well. With a whoosh, he traversed 1000 feet. When he was 300 feet away from Meng Chuan, Fu Jiao blinked his eyes under his gray hood.
Swoos.h.!.+
Two golden beams shot out from his pupils. Fu Jiao didn’t even bother concealing the two golden beams as they shot out. The golden beams flew towards Meng Chuan at terrifying speeds.
Pfft. Meng Chuan killed six demon monarchs while the seventh demon monarch was jointly killed by the four-man G.o.dfiend team.
Just as Meng Chuan smiled, his heart suddenly trembled. This was because he sensed a person charging into his 500-foot-wide Essence Soul perception domain. Meng Chuan could clearly see the gray-robed person’s appearance. Beneath the hood was a single-horned head. Its face and skin were covered in wrinkles. It wasn’t a human but a demon.
I can sense auras within 2.5 kilometers of me with my Essence Soul, but I failed to sense its aura. Meng Chuan jolted in realization. It’s a fourth Firmament demon monarch.
…
The moment the two golden beams appeared—a divine power—they streaked across a distance of 300 feet. This shocked many people.
“What?” The four nearby G.o.dfiends watched as two golden beams—which had suddenly appeared—flew towards Meng Chuan.
“Ah Chuan.” Liu Qiyue—who had been relaxing and putting away her bow and arrow—had a drastic change in expression.
Under their watch, Meng Chuan instantly drew his saber. He swung his saber, and red lotus petal-like saber beams bloomed.
Clang! Clang!
Meng Chuan blocked the two golden beams completely with Demon Slayer, causing crisp clanging sounds.
