Chapter 157: The Strongest at North River Pa.s.s
Liu Qiyue, Fan Cheng, and company were worried. After all, Demon Monarch Lion’s explosive strength was astonis.h.i.+ng. Many elite demon monarchs were attacking when a black baneful aura suddenly enveloped Meng Chuan’s battlefield. Demon Monarch Lion and five elite demon monarchs died instantly! The demons retreated in horror.
Liu Qiyue, Fan Cheng, and the other G.o.dfiends were stunned by this scene.
We won? Fan Cheng’s eyes widened. The lion demon monarch that used a demonic divine power, as well as the elite demon monarchs that attacked Senior Brother Zhang, are all dead?
Zhang Yunhu had been struggling with great difficulty. But Meng Chuan managed a killing spree?
Junior Brother Meng’s strength is even higher than Senior Brother Zhang’s? Fan Cheng was excited but also astounded.
Ah Chuan. Liu Qiyue’s eyes were filled with tears as she smiled. She had been anxious about not being able to help him. She had to hold her emotions in check as she stopped the second Firmament demon monarchs in their tracks. Now that the dark clouds had cleared, the situation had completely reversed in their favor.
“Beautiful!”
“Well done!” The G.o.dfiends on the city wall cheered.
However, their expressions changed immediately when the second Firmament demon monarchs went crazy. They did everything they could to pa.s.s the G.o.dfiends’ blockade.
Previously, these demon monarchs wanted to return to the Demon Realm, but after 35 third Firmament demon monarchs entered the World Entrance together, it was impossible for them to return. The only way they could survive was if they charged out of North River Pa.s.s! Therefore, they were more desperate than ever!
Swoosh.
A bolt of lightning flashed and arrived on the city wall.
The present demon monarchs witnessed Meng Chuan’s speed themselves. He had just been where the World Entrance was, but in the blink of an eye, he had reached the top of the city wall in a single leap.
The city wall would usually take a Great Solar G.o.dfiend (third Firmament demon monarch) a few seconds to climb. Second Firmament demon monarchs would take longer.
But Meng Chuan had ascended the city wall in the blink of an eye!
Boom!
As soon as he landed on the city wall, lightning began shooting out from Meng Chuan’s body. Fifty-one bolts of lightning struck 51 demon monarchs on the city walls. Fifty-one demon monarchs were heavily injured, and two weaker demon monarchs were killed! The other demon monarchs suffered varying degrees of injuries, but they were all temporarily paralyzed.
The G.o.dfiends naturally grasped the opportunity to attack. All sorts of attacks struck the demon monarchs, instantly killing over 20 demon monarchs.
Swoosh.
Meng Chuan transformed into a bolt of lightning and circled the city wall. As he did so, he struck out with his saber. He killed over ten demon monarchs. Many second Firmament demon monarchs couldn’t even reach the top of the city wall. They felt even more despair.
On the city wall was Meng Chuan, Liu Qiyue, Fan Cheng, and several other G.o.dfiends.
Near the World Entrance, there was Yang Xingwu—who was skilled at domains—and Mirage Fiend Yu Chiyan, Zhang Yunhu, and company.
They faced death, no matter if they headed up or down! If they hid where they stood, they would be killed.
We’re doomed. Only 80 second Firmament demon monarchs remained. They were in complete despair.
Chi! Chi! Chi!
As Yang Xingwu drew closer, her Cyan Thread Domain expanded. It trapped several second Firmament demon monarchs, making it difficult for them to move.
“Hahaha…” s.h.i.+ Xiu roared with laughter as blood-red beams shot out from his body. They flew in all directions and drilled into demon monarchs’ bodies. The demon monarchs’ blood was drawn, turning them to pure skin and bones.
Yu Chiyan cast illusions. Many of the second Firmament demon monarchs were controlled into attacking their companions.
“Senior Brother Meng, leave this to us. Hurry up and help the soldiers at the outer city wall.” Fan Cheng left the sharpshooters and ran across the city walls, wantonly slaughtering the demon monarchs.
“Okay.” Meng Chuan nodded. With a flash, he landed on the outer city wall.
Only Meng Chuan could reach the outer city wall so quickly.
Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+
As soon as Meng Chuan landed, Quintessential Essence threads flew out from his body. They rapidly pa.s.sed through the mortal demons on the city wall. The demons were completely free once they escaped the city pa.s.s. They attempted to breach a few spots and were scattered across the defensive line. In the blink of an eye, Meng Chuan patrolled the city wall, wiping out all the demons that had climbed up the city wall.
If the G.o.dfiends had taken any longer, the demons would’ve been spread throughout three kilometers. It would’ve required monumental effort from the soldiers to defend against the demons then.
In fact, slightly over 100 mortal demons had reached the city wall. In the blink of an eye, they were all killed by Meng Chuan. The soldiers at the city walls—who were frantically defending—were shocked to discover that all the demons had collapsed.
Boom!
Meng Chuan looked down the city wall, and wisps of Quintessential Essence flew out, piercing through the demons that were climbing the city wall. He swept through the 1.5-kilometer defensive line the demons were attacking. All demons were killed.
“Senior Brother Meng, leave the rest to us.”
“Leave these demons to us.” On the city walls, the G.o.dfiends shouted. They took the initiative to jump down, jumping into the battlefield between the inner and outer city. G.o.dfiends slaughtered mortal demons easily.
Mortal demons were actually very weak. They just held the numerical advantage and were scattered everywhere!
Typically, a group of G.o.dfiends was needed to kill all of them. Of course, Meng Chuan’s speed was considered insane among Regis G.o.dfiends. If he relied on his baneful aura domain, just circling the area ten times would freeze all the demons to death.
However, Meng Chuan had used the baneful aura domain to freeze the demons to death whenever he was required to reinforce a nearby city. It was already his trademark. Therefore, Meng Chuan tried his best not to use this move in North River Pa.s.s.
Even when he used it, he restricted it to a small area. If he were to produce 10,000 to 20,000 demon sculptures at North River Pa.s.s, it would be very easy to guess his Patroller ident.i.ty.
…
Meng Chuan transformed into lightning and came to Liu Qiyue’s side.
“Ah Chuan.” Liu Qiyue was delighted. “We won.”
Meng Chuan smiled and nodded.
“A great victory.” Fan Cheng walked over with his huge s.h.i.+eld on his back and hammer in hand. He shouted in excitement, “What a great victory. Wonderful! Wonderful!”
“Haha.” Zhang Yunhu’s wrinkled face was beaming. “I’ve experienced such great victories several times, but I’ve never killed six elite demon monarchs, with one having divine powers. It’s all thanks to Junior Brother Meng. Junior Brother Meng, you have only left the mountain for a year, but your strength has already reached such a level. Impressive.”
“I used a forbidden spell. I only managed to kill Demon Monarch Lion by plotting against it,” said Meng Chuan humbly.
“Killing a Divine Power Demon Monarch in an instant can’t just be from scheming.” Mu Qing—who was carrying two swords on her back—had a strange look in her eyes. She looked at Meng Chuan. “Even if I were to scheme against it, I wouldn’t be Demon Monarch Lion’s match, much less kill it.”
“Killing Demon Monarch Lion was thanks to a scheme, but I saw you killing the other elite demon monarchs with my own eyes,” said Zhang Yunhu with a smile. “You are now the strongest at North River Pa.s.s. You are much stronger than me. To see a young G.o.dfiend from Archean Mountain grow stronger and stronger is truly a joyous occasion.”
By the side, s.h.i.+ Xiu’s face flushed red as he smiled. “In a decade, Junior Brother Meng might become a Marquis G.o.dfiend. When the time comes, we will have to address him as Uncle-Master Meng.”
