Chapter 64: News from the Ancestral Mansion

“What gave you the guts to fight me?” Demon Monarch Poison Pool was enraged. He was a second Firmament demon monarch after all! Yet, these two newly-advanced G.o.dfiends wanted to join forces to kill him? What a joke.

The furious Poison Pool’s black poisonous fog expanded rapidly, quickly covering a thousand-foot area.

Poison? A different black fog also began to surround Liu Yebai’s body. It quickly spread out, forcing the Poison Pool’s poisonous fog to recede.

A domain? Poison Pool was alarmed. Some G.o.dfiends specialized in domains, and Fairy Meng from the Meng family happened to be one of the best. His poisonous fog was completely suppressed. He had encountered another expert who was adept at domains.

Liu Yebai’s domain seemed to sink Poison Pool into a swamp.

“Kill!”

“Kill!”

Meng Dajiang charged head-on while Liu Yebai attacked from the flanks with his sword.

I can kill both of you in a head-on battle. Poison Pool brandished his spear and attacked with immense strength. However, Meng Dajiang used his saber art to take the hits head-on. Liu Yebai’s unpredictable movement allowed him to carry out sneak attacks. Within the black fog domain, seven Liu Yebais appeared. Each Liu Yebai attacked silently before retreating into the black fog and disappearing.

“Scram!”

Poison Pool swung his spear in a sweeping motion and struck one of the Liu Yebais. The Liu Yebai collapsed into the black fog and dissipated. Clearly, it wasn’t his real body.

Boom! Meng Dajiang swung his saber, and Poison Pool hurriedly blocked it.

Swis.h.!.+ Another Liu Yebai shot out from the black fog and stabbed Poison Pool’s back with lightning speed.

However, the ten-foot-thick, black fog around Poison Pool was extremely tough. Liu Yebai barely managed to penetrate the black fog—leaving only a small wound on Poison Pool—before his attack lost all momentum. Liu Yebai’s pupils constricted as he immediately retreated.

…

In one of the residential ruins in Eastcalm City, two G.o.dfiends engaged in a battle against Demon Monarch Poison Pool. Their strength left Meng Chuan gasping in amazement, and he quickly realized the difference in strength between himself and the two G.o.dfiends.

Mortal to G.o.dfiend…

It was a leap in strength, and the gap was astonis.h.i.+ng.

According to what the demon monarch said, Father is a Body Tempering G.o.dfiend? He is able to face the demon monarch head-on, while Uncle Liu is more slippery and crafty. He keeps ambus.h.i.+ng him, never attacking head-on. They have great teamwork, probably a result after countless battles together. Meng Chuan watched the duo’s seamless cooperation. One charged and attacked head-on, while the other dealt sinister ambushes.

Poison Pool was blocked by Meng Dajian every time he tried to go after Liu Yebai. Poison Pool quickly suffered dozens of blows as the battle progressed. The two G.o.dfiends were extremely powerful, causing him to be injured badly.

Twelve out of eighteen commanders have died. Ever since the two G.o.dfiends started fighting me, no other commanders have been killed. It seems that the incognito G.o.dfiends were these two. It’s obvious they reached the Core Cloud realm recently, making them comparable to first Firmament demon monarchs. However, they have rich combat experience and excellent teamwork. I can’t gain the upper hand if they are working together. Although the Body Tempering G.o.dfiend is quite injured, my injuries aren’t much better either. I’ve been maintaining the forbidden spell for quite some time. If I give up now, I’ll have to recuperate for months when I’m back at the fief. If I continue using the forbidden spell, I might damage my foundation.

Poison Pool didn’t want to risk his life. He had been maintaining his forbidden spell for far too long! He had been using a forbidden spell since he had started chasing Meng Chuan…

He couldn’t kill or wear down the Body Tempering G.o.dfiend expert, and there was still the sinister G.o.dfiend—who could continuously ambush him thanks to his skill in domains. Poison Pool felt extremely miserable.

I think the only plan is to kill the three powerful G.o.dfiends at Jadesun Palace first. After that, I’ll lead the demons with Whitesink, Ape, and Domineering Roar, and annihilate Eastcalm Prefecture’s humans. Poison Pool did not hesitate as he turned around and fled.

Swoosh.

With the use of a forbidden spell, Poison Pool was extremely fast—even faster than when Meng Chuan went all out. He was faster than both Meng Dajiang and Liu Yebai.

He didn’t flee in Meng Chuan’s direction, so Liu Yebai and Meng Dajiang didn’t stop him or pursue him.

“That second Firmament demon monarch is truly powerful.” Only then did Liu Yebai stop his forbidden G.o.dfiend spell. He couldn’t help but sigh in amazement. “The two of us were going all out, but we barely came to a draw. He probably doesn’t know that you’ll be out of the fight once all that meat on you is expended.”

Meng Dajiang had already lost more than five kilograms since he had appeared to rescue Meng Chuan. He said, “Humph, this demon monarch had cast a forbidden spell for too long. If we had continued fighting, I would’ve only lost ma.s.s, while he would’ve damaged his foundation.”

Whoosh.

From afar, Meng Chuan rushed over.
