Chapter 183 - A Trap (1/2)
Yang Fang felt his body age significantly after casting the forbidden G.o.dfiend spell. He had probably lost several years of his lifespan. As for Zhang Yunfeng, he was already very old. The side-effects for using a forbidden G.o.dfiend spell was even greater. One could see Zhang Yunfeng grow older visibly.
“Haha, I cultivate the Indestructible Divine Body. I’m the best when it comes to healing,” said Zhang Yunfeng with a smile. “Before I die, I can maintain my peak strength. Even if I don’t take action now, I can only live for two to three years. I should do more while I’m still alive. When it comes to killing demon monarchs, I can match 10 to 20 Great Solar G.o.dfiends.”
Two to three more years? Meng Chuan’s heart trembled when he heard that. Meng Chuan was young, so even if he didn’t train with the body cultivation system, he would completely recover in a few months after using forbidden G.o.dfiend spells. Since he had attained the Diamond Body, he would recover from the side-effects within several hours.
However, Zhang Yunfeng was too old. Every time he used a forbidden G.o.dfiend spell, his lifespan would shorten. In order to kill Blackwater Palace Lord, he had maintained his forbidden G.o.dfiend spell for far too long.
“Let’s go. Fewer G.o.dfiends might die if I make the trip,” said Zhang Yunfeng with a smile.
“Alright.” After seeing Zhang Yunfeng’s resolute gaze, Meng Chuan didn’t persuade him any further. “Let’s go.”
Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+
The two instantly transformed into lightning and flew north.
Yang Fang and Dean Chang watched them leave.
“Humanity has a large group of G.o.dfiends like Senior Brother Zhang who are willing to sacrifice their lives,” said Dean Chang. “I believe that humans… will definitely win the war against the demons!”
Yang Fang nodded. “For sure.”
Yang Fang stayed behind in Jiang State Capital. After all, seven million people lived here. They had to maintain sufficient strength to defend the city. In fact, the demons wouldn’t dare attack Jiang State Capital after losing a fourth Firmament Skydemon. Before the humans completely abandoned the middle-sized city pa.s.ses, demons would have limited strength in the human world.
…
Meng Chuan quickly rushed off with Zhang Yunfeng. A domain enveloped the pair, reducing Meng Chuan’s burden.
Swoosh.
He transformed into a bolt of lightning and streaked across the sky. When he used Swallow Stance in midair, he crossed a raging river that was 2.5 kilometers wide.
Even while carrying Zhang Yunfeng around, he could still leap 1.5 kilometers in a single flash.
“What speed.” Zhang Yunfeng admired Meng Chuan’s speed as he was brought along. He was astounded. “Junior Brother Meng, you can move at such astonis.h.i.+ng speed even while carrying me. During battles with demons, you will be more important than many G.o.dfiends.”
Meng Chuan smiled and said, “We humans have 12 types of transcendent-grade G.o.dfiend bodies. The Lightning Devastator Fiend body is famous for its speed. When it comes to killing enemies head-on, the Thirteen Swordbane Fiend Body and Samsara Divine Body are much better than me.”
In terms of explosive power, Phoenix Divine Body experts had the greatest. The Phoenix’s Nirvana technique allowed a Phoenix Divine Body expert to burn their lifeforce, producing inconceivable strength. But when it came to overall strength, the Thirteen Swordbane Fiend Body and Samsara Divine Body were stronger than all other G.o.dfiend bodies.
“Don’t be modest. I heard that the Black Metal Sutra that you cultivate is a swift saber art. With your speed, you will be invincible when you cultivate it to the extreme,” said Zhang Yunfeng with a smile. “Senior Guo Ke—who created the Heart Saber back then—was invincible in that era despite only being a Regis G.o.dfiend. Even Creation Supremacies weren’t his match.”
“I haven’t been cultivating for long, and my saber arts are still nascent,” said Meng Chuan. It was only during the battle with Blackwater Palace Lord that he had reached the peak of Saber Soul. He was still one step away from reaching the Saber Dao realm.
The two chatted as they rushed towards Changfeng Prefecture.
Oh? Meng Chuan and Zhang Yunfeng suddenly gazed into the distance. Outside a prefecture city, they could see G.o.dfiends chasing after demon monarchs.
“You won’t escape!” Five G.o.dfiends crossed the city walls and continued to pursue the demon monarchs with all their might. The three demon monarchs fled together, but they weren’t panicking. They cooperated with each other, making it difficult for the G.o.dfiends to kill them.
“We have already given up on the prefecture city, but you are still chasing after us?” shouted a rat demon monarch.
“Continue chasing after us! We have companions that are going to rendezvous with us. We will capture all of you G.o.dfiends in a while,” roared Demon Monarch Bear.
A flower demon was stuck to Demon Monarch Bear’s body as it released pollen—which diffused in all directions.
“You want to flee after killing tens of thousands of humans?” The five G.o.dfiends were filled with rage, unwilling to let the demon monarchs escape.
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning descended from the sky. It landed directly beside Demon Monarch Rat.
“This is—!” Demon Monarch Rat was shocked as he watched the lightning descend. He saw two figures amidst the lightning—a black-robed youth and a white-haired elder.
“Senior Brother Meng, Senior Brother Zhang!” The five G.o.dfiends—who were in pursuit of the three demon monarchs—were delighted. They naturally recognized the famous Senior Brother Meng Chuan as well as Senior Brother Zhang Yunfeng.
