Chapter 63: Father is Here
Even though he was in a dire situation, Meng Chuan didn’t give up. He did his best to advance, moving towards a narrow and remote area. Demon Monarch Poison Pool had a ma.s.sive 30-foot tall body, so Meng Chuan hoped that these narrow s.p.a.ces would be able to affect him a little.
Whoosh.
However, Poison Pool was like a gust of wind. He stepped on the roof tiles and tree branches and rapidly pursued him. He was getting closer and closer until the gap between them was only 100 feet.
Meng Chuan could “see” the other party’s iridescent green skin and his excited gray eyes.
How do I escape? Where do I go? Meng Chuan despaired.
Boom!
Suddenly—within a half a kilometer of Meng Chuan—a terrifying aura pierced through the sky from the north. It was so fast that even Meng Chuan could only vaguely make it out. It was a short lance with a blood-colored aura. The spear tore through the air, causing the air to explode around it. In a blink of an eye, it traversed half a kilometer and headed straight for Demon Monarch Poison Pool.
“Oh?” Poison Pool was alarmed. The terrifying short lance made him feel threatened. Not confident of his protective black fog being able to block it, he waved his long spear.
Clang!
He blocked the short lance.
“You are tempting fate, Demon Monarch!” An angry bellow rang out through the heavens like a thunder G.o.d roaring! A figure—whose entire body was surrounded by a sanguine aura—rushed over as a second short lance was thrown.
Boom! Boom!
One short lance after another shot out as the figure’s killing intent raged. Poison Pool blocked the attacks, giving Meng Chuan an opportunity to escape.
That is? Meng Chuan dazedly stared at the figure charging towards the demon monarch. The figure’s aura was very powerful, but fundamentally, it was identical to his father’s aura. However, it was dozens-fold more violent; the killing intent reached a terrifying level.
The same aura signature as his father… Meng Chuan vaguely saw the person within the sanguine aura. It was his father—who was 15 kilograms lighter. He was no longer fat, but rather muscular.
Ever since he was six years old, his father had slowly gained weight. He recognized his father at a glance.
Is that Father? Meng Chuan was a little confused.
Was he the same chubby father who laughed jovially every day? Was he the same father who had taught him saber arts since he was young, but had lost to him in every duel ever since he reached the Seamless realm?
He had always believed that his father was only a Seamless realm expert—who had comprehended Force—that hadn’t succeeded in condensing a core.
No…
His grandaunt had used the entire family’s savings to exchange for a drop of G.o.dfiend Jade Marrow Liquid. As for his father, he had produced two treasures—the Iceheart Fruit and Astral Spirit Herb. Back then, he had realized that his father had a great secret, but he had never imagined that his father would be a G.o.dfiend.
“Haha, there really was a G.o.dfiend in hiding.” Poison Pool laughed hoa.r.s.ely. “You are actually a Body Tempering G.o.dfiend. The Body Tempering G.o.dfiend lineage of you humans is extremely crude and incomplete. The Great Solar realm is the pinnacle, isn’t it?”
“It’s more than enough to kill you.” Meng Dajiang’s killing intent surged as he drew his saber and instantly slashed at Poison Pool.
“Do you think you—a newly advanced G.o.dfiend—has what it takes?” Poison Pool snickered. Two black serpents formed from the black fog instantly swirled towards Meng Dajiang.
Whenever the black fog serpents wrapped around Meng Dajiang, they were weakened by 90% due to the sanguine aura. The other effects it had on Meng Dajiang’s body were miniscule. Body Tempering G.o.dfiends didn’t cultivate their Quintessential Essence and focused on their bodies. It was easy for them to resist the tiny portion of poisonous gas.
A Body Tempering G.o.dfiend is quite special. Venomous Pool frowned slightly as he charged forward with his spear. With a wave of his spear, he caused some of the nearby buildings to collapse. The terrifying spear stabbed straight at Meng Dajiang.
“Demon monarch, die.” Meng Dajiang’s eyes were bloodshot. He had long used a forbidden G.o.dfiend spell, and he was in a state of madness. His saber beam flew towards Poison Pool.
Almost… He had almost lost his son to this demon monarch!
When the demons invaded, he and Liu Yebai had gone to the city’s northern region to check out available missions. When they suddenly heard the Jadesun Palace’s alarm, they were shocked and immediately split up.
Liu Yebai proceeded in one direction—the Blazing Sun Dao Academy, and he would pa.s.s by other Dao Academies and family clans.
Meng Dajiang went another direction. He pa.s.sed by the Meng family ancestral mansion and Mirror Lake Meng Manor.
Wherever the two went, they would kill the demon commanders they met! However, both of them were newly-advanced G.o.dfiends. Without using forbidden spells, their speed was only on par with Meng Chuan’s. As for Meng Chuan, he had rushed to Blazing Sun Dao Academy immediately, so he was faster than Liu Yebai.
Later on, Meng Chuan was pursued by Poison Pool. This pursuit brought them several kilometers away in a blink of an eye. The commotion they had produced was quite loud, and it caught Meng Dajiang’s attention.
He cast a forbidden spell and threw his short lance from far away to save his son.
Finally, he saved his son!
However, the fact that his son was almost killed filled Meng Dajiang with rage. He madly swung his saber down with all his might, forming a wave of saber beams.
“You dare fight me? You truly have a death wish.” Poison Pool had the confidence to face a newly-promoted G.o.dfiend and struck out with his spear.
