Chapter 193 - Help (1/2)

In Gu Mountain Prefecture City, Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue carefully observed and sensed the area, but the prefecture city was completely peaceful. No more attacks happened.

“Just two weak demon monarchs? That’s it?”

The couple was somewhat puzzled. Unbeknownst to them, the scene of Demon Monarch Bear being instantly killed despite having a powerful body shocked the eight-armed demon monarch, Chan Du. This made the prefecture city the only place in the entire Gu Mountain Prefecture to not suffer a disaster.

Oh? Meng Chuan felt his token heat up, making him take out his Patroller Token. Two spots on the tokens glowed red. This alarmed him. Chang Valley County and Gaoyu County are requesting help!

“Why isn’t my Patroller token alerting me about the requests for help?” Liu Qiyue took out the Patroller token and was somewhat puzzled. “We are a team.”

Logically speaking, the two of them should be heading out together.

“There is danger inside Gu Mountain Prefecture. The threat level isn’t high. Archean Mountain probably thinks that I can deal with it alone,” said Meng Chuan. “Archean Mountain also wants you to stay in the prefecture city and protect it. Anyway, I’ll set off first.” Meng Chuan didn’t hesitate to leave. He transformed into a bolt of lightning and left the city quickly.

“Be careful.” Liu Qiyue barely had time to exhort him when she saw the lightning disappear into the horizon.

…

Meng Chuan rushed to Chang Valley County. His extreme speed allowed him to now traverse over 2 kilometers in a single flash. Ten seconds after he left the prefecture city, he saw two columns of smoke rising from afar.

Beacon smoke? There are demons! Meng Chuan—who was traveling at high speeds—was shocked and immediately rushed over.

In two flashes, he could see a village fort. Cries could be heard as beacon smoke rose from within the fort. A demon monarch—that was about 80 feet tall and covered in scales—casually swung his huge hammer and destroyed the fort tunnels’ various mechanisms. He crushed the dozens of villagers hiding inside, causing blood to seep out from the ruins.

When Meng Chuan arrived, over a thousand people had already died in the village fort. The casualties had already exceeded 20% of the village fort’s population.

The remaining people despaired as they watched the destruction.

“Demon Monarch, die!”

“Die!” Some held crossbows and fired at the demon monarch. After the crossbow bolts flew out, they were blocked by invisible demonic energy when they were still dozens of feet from the demon monarch.

Mortal weapons posed no threat to second Firmament demon monarchs, much less the third Firmament demon monarch before them.

“Hahaha…” The scaly demon monarch laughed loudly as he continued to slaughter the mortals casually. To him, this was akin to killing tiny bugs. There was no threat at all.

When Meng Chuan saw this, his eyes turned red. He knew that many demon monarchs would enter the human world after the humans had abandoned the small and medium-sized city pa.s.ses. After this, it would be very common to see demon monarchs engaging in casual slaughter, but seeing it happen in person pained Meng Chuan.

Demon monarchs were supposed to be fought by G.o.dfiends! However, there were no G.o.dfiends stationed here to stop the demon monarch from slaughtering the mortals.

“Die!” Meng Chuan charged over as fast as he could.

Oh? The scaly demon monarch sensed something and turned his head, only to see a bolt of lightning arrive.

“What?” The scaly demon monarch jumped in fright. When the demon monarchs had planned the simultaneous attacks, he had chosen to attack a village fort. He had even sent two demon monarchs—that were under his command—to attack another fort and act as a diversion. So why did the G.o.dfiend arrive here so quickly?

The scaly demon monarch immediately brandished his hammers to block the saber beam, but the saber beam was too fast!

By the time the demon monarch raised his hammer, the saber beam had already struck its body, slicing through his chest. The ma.s.sive, scaly demon monarch split in two and fell onto the ruined buildings. Dark green blood flowed down the rubble, forming a pool of blood around it.

“It’s dead.”

“It’s dead.” The dozen or so people still alive were watching the battle outside the tunnels. When they saw the invincible demon monarch collapse, they couldn’t help but feel excited.

After the demon monarch died, the bolt of lightning disappeared and headed towards another village fort.
