Chapter 200 - Passing By (1/2)

Willow River Fort was an ordinary village fort in Wu State and had over 6000 villagers living in it. The fort was squarish in shape, with many dwellings inside. It was like an extremely large ant nest with many mechanisms and tunnels hidden down below! It would be very difficult for ordinary demons to attack it. Even if they breached the fort, it would be equally difficult to breach the individual tunnels.

“Lord Qian.”

“Lord Qian, good morning.”

“Greetings, Lord Qian.”

Qian Mo came to the market in the middle of the fort. He could see the sky here; the sun shone brightly. Therefore, the villagers were usually happy to come to the market. Merchants and hawkers in the fort gathered here.

The villagers addressed him respectfully as “Lord Qian” because the villagers knew that the Imperial Court had arranged for soldiers to be stationed at the fort. Lord Qian was the leader of those soldiers, so even the village chief had to be extremely respectful towards him.

“Lord Qian.” Barefoot children stopped laughing and running to greet him.

“Hong, here are some meat buns for you.” Qian Mo handed three meat buns wrapped in lotus leaves to him. He had already eaten two meat buns.

The child was gluttonous, but he was somewhat embarra.s.sed to receive the meat buns.

“Have some.” Qian Mo placed the meat buns in the child’s arms. He had given pointers to youths after living in the fort for a while now. He liked the very outstanding ones.

“Thank you, Lord Qian.” Hong thanked him happily.

“Move along.” Qian Mo waved his hand and continued to window shop.

Earth Net was everywhere across the world. Many conscripted soldiers patrolled several areas, and many village forts had become intelligence nodes. Qian Mo was an Indestructible G.o.dfiend. He managed the intelligence network of several county cities and lived in Willow River Fort.

“Oh?” Qian Mo suddenly sensed a surge of demonic energy outside the fort. Furthermore, the demonic aura was heading straight for Willow River Fort. This caused his expression to change as he quickly rushed to the top of the fort.

Clang! Clang! Clang! Several bells sounded hurriedly.

In the fort, the relaxed villagers’ faces changed. They quickly rushed towards a nearby tunnel with their children.

Boom!

With a loud bang, a 20-foot-tall cyan-robed demon monarch appeared above the fort. A terrifying demonic aura emanated from it. His trotter suddenly descended, causing a roof to collapse with a loud thud as he stared down at the fort.

Whoosh. Whoosh.

Another two figures appeared above the fort. One a 50-foot-tall bear demon monarch, and the other a rat demon monarch—roughly the size of a human child.

Demon Monarch Bear’s body was covered with thick gray fur. He was nearly half the height of the entire fort. He dropped down to the fort. After it landed, he struck out in all directions. The huge fort trembled, and many places turned to rubble.

After destroying the buildings above, the demon monarchs could slaughter the mortals hidden in the tunnels below.

Demon Monarchs. Qian Mo restrained his aura and approached the top of the fort. He didn’t care about the collapse of many buildings around him. He easily withstood the collapse with his body without releasing his Quintessential Essence.

I’ll kill one with a sneak attack first. I’ll then have the confidence to kill the other two demon monarchs single-handedly. Qian Mo stared at the rat demon monarch. The cyan-robed demon monarch had hints of being the leader. The bear demon monarch had coa.r.s.e skin and thick flesh, so it was clear that he would not be easily killed. The rat demon monarch’s body looked the weakest.

Swoosh.

When Demon Monarch Bear destroyed the ma.s.sive fort, Qian Mo took the opportunity to charge out.

Oh? Demon Monarch Rat immediately turned his head and saw two saber beams flying at him. Demon Monarch Rat didn’t dare take the attack head-on. With swift movements, he dodged the saber beams like a ghost.

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft…

After more than ten consecutive strikes, Qian Mo cast a forbidden G.o.dfiend spell and continued to execute his killer moves. However, Demon Monarch Rat only focused on escaping and was only hit by one strike. A demon monarch’s body was ultimately resilient—no matter the race—and the strike only left a wound on its back. It didn’t injure the demon monarch much.
