Chapter 203 - Chapter 203: Demon Monarch Fu Jiao (1/2)

Of course, because of his son and daughter-in-law, Archean Mountain trusted Meng Dajiang. Furthermore, he was the Meng family clan leader. He had high prestige in Eastcalm Prefecture, and after years of cultivating the Body Tempering lineage, he had become an Indestructible G.o.dfiend. He had become Earth Net’s highest-ranking member in Eastcalm Prefecture. Liu Yebai joined forces with Meng Dajiang and was in charge of investigating the demon monarchs in Eastcalm Prefecture.

…

“Kill!” Liu Qiyue spread her flaming wings and shot out arrows. Meng Chuan used his movement technique to pursue his enemies and engage in close combat.

…

“We came late.” Meng Chuan and his wife stood in the ruins of a county city. They looked at the three corpses on the ground. Only one member of the G.o.dfiend team had escaped; the other three died.

Although the duo moved very fast, they still needed five minutes to travel hundreds of kilometers. With such time on their hands, the demon monarchs could kill the G.o.dfiends before the couple arrived.

…

“Another demon monarch.”

Smoke from a fire beacon billowed into the sky.

As Gu Mountain Prefecture’s Patroller, Meng Chuan immediately rushed over.

…

Time pa.s.sed. In the blink of an eye, the couple had spent eight months in Gu Mountain Prefecture. Meng Chuan experienced more in these past eight months than when he was at North River Pa.s.s and Jiang State Capital. Meng Chuan had also met all sorts of G.o.dfiends.

Not every G.o.dfiend was willing to sacrifice themselves for mortals. Not every G.o.dfiend was extremely valiant. Some were selfish and afraid of death.

When Earth Net’s Indestructible G.o.dfiends patrolled, they would typically request Archean Mountain reinforcements when they encountered second Firmament demon monarchs attacking a village fort. They would silently distance themselves from it, unwilling to save the mortals. Indestructible G.o.dfiends were completely capable of dealing with second Firmament demon monarchs. However, because of possibly dying in battle, an Indestructible G.o.dfiend had secretly distanced himself from the scene. Meng Chuan—who had been pa.s.sing by—saw this very clearly.

When some G.o.dfiend teams were in a dire situation, their teammates would desperately fight as they supported one another. There was an instance of a G.o.dfiend fleeing while his companions held back the demon monarchs. His three companions died, but he managed to survive.

Meng Chuan and his wife learned about this when they rushed over to kill the demon monarchs. It was when the demon monarchs were taunting them did they realize that the only G.o.dfiend to survive from his team had abandoned his companions. Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue captured the two demon monarchs alive and had Earth Net send them to Archean Mountain for interrogation. Facing Archean Mountain’s skill in illusions, the G.o.dfiend was unable to lie and was publicly executed!

If he had continued to fight with his three teammates, their team might’ve survived until the couple arrived. The G.o.dfiend team could have survived. However, since he had fled, it led to his three teammates dying and to his execution.

During his execution, he shouted, “I only wanted to live. All I wanted was to stay alive. Why are you executing me!?”

When Meng Chuan learned of his fate, he wasn’t happy or angry, but sad. If the G.o.dfiend continued living and entered a new G.o.dfiend team, he would only harm his new teammates with his att.i.tude.

Due to the sect’s rules, he had to be executed.

“Fool.”

“He caused the deaths of three G.o.dfiends; yet, he wasn’t willing to admit his fault.”

Meng Chuan drew this scene on a long scroll—the G.o.dfiend who fled with a conniving smile. His three teammates fought with all their might as he secretly escaped alone…

Meng Chuan despised him; therefore, the despicable G.o.dfiend seemed like a clown in the painting. There were more than one of such “ugly” G.o.dfiends in Meng Chuan’s painting. They were located at the corner of the painting, inconspicuous.

…

Late autumn in Wu State, a small county city in East Harbor Prefecture.

Smoke from the county city’s fire beacons rose as the city was devastated by three third Firmament demon monarchs wreaking havoc wantonly. Rain poured from the gloomy sky. In the tunnels, the county city’s mortals waited for help. One tunnel after another was discovered by the demon monarchs, leading to the demise of the mortals within.

This was a nightmare. After nearly 30 percent of the county city’s population was ma.s.sacred, four streaks of light rushed over from afar.

“It’s three ordinary third Firmament demon monarchs.” The G.o.dfiend team’s killing intent increased.

After experiencing heavy losses during the first large-scale probe, third Firmament demon monarchs began forming teams. Demon monarchs with divine powers led the most troublesome squads! Other demon monarchs teams were much less of a threat.

“Attack, don’t let any of them escape.”

“Kill them.”
