Chapter 175 - Escape (1/2)

Chapter 175: Escape

Meng Chuan was glad he was wearing protective inner armor. Although his internal organs were in pain from the impact, his body remained intact, and he maintained his full strength.

He had immediately used a forbidden G.o.dfiend spell when he was sent flying through the many residences and trees! Because he knew he would die if he didn’t do so.

If I don’t risk my life, I might really die here. Meng Chuan still had many things he hadn’t done, so he naturally wasn’t willing to just give up and die here.

Boom!

The gigantic black snake tail swept across the sky, sweeping across the ruins where Meng Chuan was.

Meng Chuan—who was lying on the ground—unleashed his full strength. He fused the Power of Essence Soul with his body and Quintessential Essence. After pus.h.i.+ng his forbidden spell to the maximum, his movement speed reached its limits. The black snake’s tail swept across the tail, but it only landed on Meng Chuan’s afterimages. Meng Chuan’s true body was already three feet away. He had barely escaped the attack.

He actually managed to dodge it? Blackwater Palace Lord stood in the ruins. A long black tail—over 100 feet long—had grown from his coccyx. This was his half-demon form—his strongest form.

At that moment, Blackwater Palace Lord’s eyes were filled with shock. He was shocked that Meng Chuan didn’t die. However, he was certain that even if Meng Chuan didn’t die, he would definitely be severely injured! He was only a Great Solar G.o.dfiend. He cultivated the Lightning Devastator Fiend Body that was known for its speed. It was very ordinary when it came to physical defense. With his fourth Firmament Skydemon strength, even if he didn’t crack the armor, the impact was very likely to kill Meng Chuan. Even if he didn’t die from the impact, he would be close to death with severe injuries.

Meng Chuan—who was supposed to be heavily injured—actually unleashed such shocking speed? He had managed to dodge his snake tail attack?

Run. Meng Chuan dodged the black tail and frantically fled into the distance, trying to put distance between them.

It was a simple exchange of blows. However, he was still at an absolute disadvantage despite using his full strength! He could only attack eight times with his maximum strength—the fusion of Power Of Essence Soul with his body and Quintessential Essence—even though his Essence Soul had been improving in the two years since he left the mountain. Now that he had attacked three times with maximum strength, what else could he do besides escape?

“Can you escape?” Blackwater Palace Lord’s voice resounded in the ruined streets.

Oh? Meng Chuan’s expression changed.

Not only was Blackwater Palace Lord chasing after him, but the rain was suddenly being controlled. Furthermore, water from the nearby river also flew up.

A mighty stream of water—spanning half a kilometer—enveloped Meng Chuan from all directions, seeking to trap him within its watery depths.

As a person with extraordinary speed, Meng Chuan was most afraid of a domain! When obstructed by a domain, his speed decreased substantially.

I can’t let him get close to me. If he gets close, even if I unleash my Power of Essence Soul, I won’t be able to withstand many blows. I’ll lose my life. Meng Chuan understood this very well.

Blackwater Palace Lord was considered average among the eleven fourth Firmament Skydemons. According to Archean Mountain’s intelligence, his strength was at the level of a Marquis G.o.dfiend. However, unlike Meng Chuan, Yang Fang, and Zhang Yunfeng, Blackwater Palace Lord was a fourth Firmament Skydemon. He was rather powerful in all aspects after becoming a fourth Firmament Skydemon.

Domain, long-range attacks, melee combat, physical body, demonic powers, and realm. He wasn’t particularly dazzling in any of the aspects when compared to those of similar strength, but he was still quite strong in every aspect.

What about Meng Chuan?

Even when using forbidden G.o.dfiend spells and other means, he barely reached the Marquis G.o.dfiend threshold. Apart from being fast, he was mediocre in all other aspects. In terms of realm, he was completely overwhelmed by his opponent! As a fourth Firmament Skydemon, Blackwater Palace Lord had reached the Marquis G.o.dfiend threshold. He had attained Greater Mastery of the Realm of Dao, while Meng Chuan only had Greater Mastery of Saber Soul. The difference was too great. Therefore, his Red Lotus Stance was easily broken through. The difference in realm made his Black Metal Sutra move useless.

In terms of his moves’ strength? It was mediocre. Blackwater Palace Lord completely overwhelmed him.

Meng Chuan’s only advantage was in his speed. His saber art and movement techniques were faster, and he was much faster than Blackwater Palace Lord. However, with the difference in realm, Blackwater Palace Lord could break Meng Chuan’s saber arts easily.

Therefore, melee combat meant death!

Boom!

Water continued to surround Meng Chuan as he fled from Blackwater Palace Lord.

When the water stream domain approached, Meng Chuan suddenly released a black baneful aura that spread in all directions. The extreme cold caused the water to freeze! Although Meng Chuan had attempted to absorb the Quiescence Frost baneful aura, he was unable to absorb it even with the Diamond Body. He probably needed his body cultivation to reach the next realm before he could try again. But even so, Meng Chuan’s baneful aura domain was rather powerful among Great Solar G.o.dfiends.

The moment the water froze into ice—

Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+

Seven condensed streams of water charged into the baneful aura domain like flood dragons and attacked Meng Chuan.
