Chapter 144 - Loss (1/2)

At the inner city gates, Yang Xingwu’s Cyan Silk Domain expanded. Cyan silk danced in the air, silently piercing through the bodies of mortal demons. Meng Chuan transformed into lightning and roamed the area. When he pa.s.sed an area, a black baneful aura spread out. Although the baneful aura was too dispersed and it had reduced power, it still froze the mortal demons into ice sculptures. All of them froze to death.

Swoosh.

Following that, Meng Chuan took a step forward and transformed into a bolt of lightning that shot into the sky. He arrived at the inner city walls.

“Ah Chuan.” The flames around Liu Qiyue converged as she welcomed him.

“Are you alright?” Meng Chuan had noticed many second Firmament demon monarchs rus.h.i.+ng towards Qiyue.

“They were all second Firmament demon monarchs. Furthermore, Senior Brother Fan was here,” said Liu Qiyue with a smile. “With Senior Brother Fan standing there, they can’t even approach me.”

“Haha, you flatter me too much.” The plump Fan Cheng placed the large s.h.i.+eld on his back. He held the hammer in his hand and said with a smile, “A few third Firmament demon monarchs aren’t my match. As for a group of second Firmament demon monarchs, there’s nothing to boast about bullying them. Junior Brother Meng, you were truly awesome. You instantly killed five third Firmament demon monarchs while fighting a group of them.”

Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+

Zhang Yunhu, Yang Xingwu, Yu Chiyan, s.h.i.+ Xiu, and Mu Qing slowly landed on the city wall thanks to the Cyan Silk Domain.

“Junior Brother Meng, you are probably the only one who can ascend North River Pa.s.s’s walls with a single jump,” said Zhang Yunhu with a smile.

“Junior Brother Meng arrived on the city wall with a whoos.h.!.+ If the demon monarchs can come up with a whoosh, we’ll be in big trouble,” said s.h.i.+ Xiu with a relaxed smile.

“Only human G.o.dfiends who cultivate the Lightning Devastator Fiend Body can be this awesome. It’s extremely rare among the demons,” said Zhang Yunhu with a chuckle. “Everyone did well this time. Alright, go back and get some rest.”

“Alright. Time to take a bath.” Fan Cheng smiled as he carried the hammer and turned to leave.

“I need a drink before having a good nap.” s.h.i.+ Xiu smiled as he left. The others left as well.

It was enough for the ordinary G.o.dfiends to deal with the cleaning up. There was no need for them.

Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue were in no hurry to return because this was their first time on the battlefield. They had yet to calm down.

“General.”

“General.”

Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue walked through the tunnel connecting the inner and outer city pa.s.s. Many soldiers were extremely reverent as they bowed respectfully.

These ordinary soldiers addressed the nine deputy generals as generals.

“This is the battlefield.” Liu Qiyue looked at the empty area between the inner and outer city pa.s.s. It had long transformed into a sea of fire. G.o.dfiends were slaughtering the demons.

“If we can’t stop them, it will be the demons slaughtering humans,” said Meng Chuan.

“Yes, Eastcalm Prefecture. Back then, the demons slaughtered humans wantonly,” said Liu Qiyue. The invasion had changed her greatly.

The duo watched as they walked.

When they arrived at the outer city walls, their expressions changed slightly.

A soldier hugged his leg and groaned in pain. One of his legs was gone. There were also soldiers covering their abdomens. There were b.l.o.o.d.y holes in their abdomens… There were many injured soldiers. Some were treating the wounds simply. They still needed to wait for the doctors!

There were also many soldiers lying there motionless. They had died, and other soldiers were moving the corpses.

“General,” said an officer at the Core Condensation realm.

“How were the losses this time?” Meng Chuan asked, seemingly calm.

“We haven’t finished counting,” said the officer respectfully. “According to the initial estimates, there are about 800 soldiers who died in the battle. More than 2,000 of them were injured. A small number of injured soldiers will not be able to survive. Some of them will be crippled. Only a small number can be completely cured.”
