Chapter 354 Emergency Rescue
Jiang State Capital, in a chamber.
Meng Chuan levitated in midair as he sat in a lotus position. Eighteen Bloodblades swirled around him.
The Bloodblade Disc’s runic array formation provides flight and defensive capabilities. In terms of defense, even the superficial runes have the profundity of the Nine Heavenly Forms of the Void, Lightning Domain Form, and Yin-Yang Form of Lightning.
Although he had become a Regis G.o.dfiend, Meng Chuan realized that he was still very weak after learning some secrets. He had yet to reach the requirements needed to travel the River of s.p.a.cetime.
In the day, he would carry out underground reconnaissance and hunt demon monarchs. At night, apart from painting, he would focus on his cultivation. Most of his cultivation time was now used to comprehend the Bloodblade Disc’s profundities!
The Bloodblade Disc was his master! It allowed Meng Chuan to understand all sorts of ingenious combination techniques. For example, the Cloud Dragon Snake Movement Technique mainly consisted of the Nine Heavenly Forms of the Void, Roving Dragon Form of Lightning, and Yin-Yang Form of Lightning. After recently comprehending some of the profundities contained within the Bloodblade Disc, Meng Chuan had gained more insights into the Cloud Dragon Snake Movement Technique. It was getting closer and closer to the Dharma Domain realm. He felt like he could break through at any moment.
Whoosh.
With a thought
The 18 Bloodblades flew back to the Bloodblade Disc. The Bloodblade Disc landed in Meng Chuan’s palm as he walked out of the chamber. The sky was already bright.
“Ah Chuan.” Liu Qiyue smiled as she sat at the dining table. “I just bought some meat buns and steamed buns.”
“Oh, it smells good.” Meng Chuan picked up a meat bun and ate half of it in one bite. His mouth was filled with oil. Although he didn’t need to eat or drink, he still ate breakfast and dinner with his wife every day. The couple cherished their time together. Furthermore, Meng Chuan enjoyed the satisfaction brought by the food. Though they could arrange for demon servants to prepare the food, Liu Qiyue would always meticulously prepare it for him.
After eating three meat buns, three large steamed buns, and a bowl of porridge, Meng Chuan stood up.
“It’s time for me to leave.” Meng Chuan stood up. Liu Qiyue also stood up as she sent him off.
Although the days were a little monotonous, the couple cherished these peaceful days very much.
Meng Chuan smiled as he bade his wife farewell. He continued his underground reconnaissance for the entire day.
Swoosh.
A beam of light traveled through the Great Zhou Dynasty’s underground as it searched the area.
After an hour of underground reconnaissance, Meng Chuan’s expression suddenly changed. He felt his token burn his arm. His Seamless domain could clearly see the blood-red spot on the map—which was imprinted on the token’s surface. A fifth Firmament threat in Yushang City? Meng Chuan’s heart tightened.
Marquis G.o.dfiends guarding a city would occasionally be ambushed when dealing with ordinary demon monarch attacks. If a fourth Firmament demon monarch team attacked, the threat would be slightly lower, but Marquis G.o.dfiends would still die. After all, it was a one-against-many battle. If a fifth Firmament demon monarch attacked, it was even more likely for Marquis G.o.dfiends to die.
Swoosh.
Without any hesitation, Meng Chuan stepped on the Bloodblade Disc and transformed into a beam of light. He instantly rushed out of the ground and flew towards the northwest at high speed.
Yushang City was located in the middle of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Three Marquis G.o.dfiends guarded the city. Of course, there were also iron stone beasts and poison bugs that aided them in the defense.
Roar!
“Die!”
“Kill the humans.”
At that moment, many ordinary demon monarchs were attacking the city. Third Firmament demon monarchs rushed over from all directions.
In the city, the strongest Marquis G.o.dfiendMarchioness Mooncherish-was pale. She had a black-and-white Two World domain around her. She held a sword with one hand as she struggled to deal with a black-armored demon monarch that wielded a black trident.
Although Marchioness Mooncherish was over 200 years old, she still looked beautiful. She cultivated the Two World Divine Body, and her sword art was a Black Metal SutraDuality Sword Art. Every strike carried Yin and Yang. The sword traveled between Yin and Yang, making it seem like the world was isolated. The Duality Sword Art was extremely good at defense; it was especially strong when it came to killing enemies. It was a technique that perfectly matched the Two World Divine Body.
But when the difference in strength between two parties was large enough, it was useless no matter how exquisite the sword art was.
Boom! The two weapons collided. Even though Marchioness Mooncherish tried her best to deflect the force, she was still sent flying backward. Blood rose from her throat, causing her to taste it. Her right arm trembled, but she ultimately managed to block another strike.
The violent shockwaves from the battle spread out in all directions. The nearby buildings and trees had long been reduced to dust. Marchioness Mooncherish did her best to suppress the shockwaves with her Two World Domain, causing the battle’s shockwaves to only affect an area of hundreds of feet. If she hadn’t, the shockwaves would’ve caused much more destruction. Many people in the surrounding residences fled frantically.
“You blocked three strikes in a row?” The black-armored, horned demon monarch shook his head before two golden beams of light suddenly shot out from his eyes. They instantly flew towards Marchioness Mooncherish.
Marchioness Mooncherish immediately sealed her surroundings with her sword in a bid to block the golden light. However, the two golden light beams continued to pierce through her barrier, illuminating Marchioness Mooncherish.
Marchioness Mooncherish’s body turned numb. Not good. Marchioness Mooncherish couldn’t care less about her numb body. She had long used a forbidden spell. She quickly used all her Quintessential Essence to charge underground.
Boom! The black-armored demon monarch chased after her at a much faster speed. His eyes were filled with ferocity. “You won’t be able to escape.”
“Senior Sister.” The other two Marquis G.o.dfiends watched from afar. Their eyes were filled with anger, but they didn’t have time to help her. Furthermore, their strength was inferior to that of Marquis Cherishmoon.
“Yushang City has a fifth Firmament threat. They have requested help many times. The situation is critical.”
In a large hall on Archean Mountain, a huge map of the human world was on the walls. On the map of the Great Zhou Dynasty, 16 cities were currently lit.
Li Guan, Qin Wu, and Luo Tang sat above the hall as they looked down.
Some people were staring at the map as well. “Supremacy, the situation in Yushang City is critical,” said an elder in charge of monitoring anxiously. “Marchioness Mooncherish has sent out a life-and-death help request. She might lose her life at any moment.”
“Got it,” said Li Guan.
“What can we do?” Luo Tang sent a voice transmission. “We’ve already sent Meng Chuan over. Meng Chuan was about 1,500 kilometers away from Yushang City. I wonder if he’ll make it in time.”
“He will be able to reach the city the fastest,” said Li Guan via voice transmission. “Marchioness Mooncherish’s fate… will depend on the heavens.”
Qin Wu looked down and sent a voice transmission. “When sect disciples encounter life-and-death situations, all we can do is watch. I still remember the scene when that la.s.s Xiyue just came up the mountain. I hope she can survive.”
“She will,” Luo Tang consoled. “Meng Chuan will definitely save her.”
Clang!
The sword in Marchioness Mooncherish’s hand was sent flying by the terrifying impact. It flew like a stream of light, indicating how powerful the impact was. Marchioness Mooncherish’s right hand was covered in blood. She could no longer hold her sword.
She also had a b.l.o.o.d.y wound on her abdomen. The black-armored demon monarch had used a divine power, and he had nearly split Marchioness Mooncherish into two. It was only thanks to her impressive sword art and powerful Two World domain that she survived the attack. Half of her waist had been sliced through, but she tried her best to close the wound.
I can’t hold on any longer. After her sword was sent flying, despair rose in Marchioness Mooncherish’s heart. Without her sword, she lost most of her strength. She was unable to withstand the fifth Firmament demon monarch’s attacks any longer.
“Die!” The black-armored demon monarch was overjoyed. He waved his black trident and transformed into a black gust of wind, wanting to reduce Marchioness Mooncherish into a meat paste.
The black-armored demon monarch felt that everything was under control up to this point. Killing her took a little more time than expected. Whatever, I’ll leave immediately after killing her. It’s safest to leave within 30 seconds.
According to the intelligence gathered by the demons, demon monarchs would be absolutely safe if they retreated within 30 seconds of starting an attack. This was because a large city was about 500 kilometers away from each other. Even if a G.o.dfiend came from the nearest city, it would take them at least 30 seconds to arrive. In fact, only a few G.o.dfiends in the Great Zhou Dynasty were qualified to carry out rescues. They would typically arrive from thousands of kilometers away. It was usually very safe if they finished an ambush and fled within 60 seconds.
They were already being extremely cautious by escaping within 30 seconds of attacking.
I’m doomed. Facing the terrifying black trident, Marchioness Mooncherish knew that her death was certain, but she still used her palm arts in an attempt to block.
Ever since she left the mountain, she had been fighting. The thoughtless, simple-minded girl on the mountain gradually grew amidst blood and fire and became a Marquis G.o.dfiend. She became stronger, but the war became more and more tragic. She wanted to protect more people because she enjoyed hearing the laughter of others.
I can’t protect all of you anymore, thought Marchioness Mooncherish silently.
Boom!
Suddenly, a powerful, violent aura erupted from afar.
Marchioness Mooncherish looked into the distance with a hint of desire and hope.
It was the aura of a Regis G.o.dfiend. However, it was 50 kilometers away.
It’s too late, thought Marchioness Mooncherish silently.
A blurry figure appeared 50 kilometers away.Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!
Many demon monarchs that were rus.h.i.+ng towards the city collapsed like harvested wheat. Their heads were penetrated by Quintessential Essence threads.
The G.o.dfiend is 50 kilometers away? The black-armored demon monarch didn’t panic at all. You are too late. Just as the black-armored demon monarch had this thought, he sensed a beam of light approaching him.
It moved way too fast, much faster than the black-armored demon monarch’s trident. The beam of light appeared in front of the black-armored demon monarch.
With a bang, the black trident in the demon monarch’s hand was sent flying. It was a blur as it flew into the distance.
“No,” The black-armored demon monarch revealed a look of horror. He sensed that when the first beam of light had sent his weapon flying, the second beam had arrived in front of him. He didn’t even have time to move.
Pfft.
His Essence Soul sensed the attack, but his body failed to react in time. A beam of light had pierced through his head.
