Chapter 231 - Meeting Yan Jin (1/2)

Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue saw smoke rising from several places in the distant county city. Three demon monarchs were wreaking havoc and ma.s.sacring the population.

Liu Qiyue instantly drew her bow in midair and strung three arrows.

Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+

Three flame streams streaked across the sky. Liu Qiyue’s arrows were much faster than before. While shocked, the three distance demon monarchs attempted to dodge. However, all of a sudden, the arrows changed directions unpredictably and penetrated the demon monarchs’ heads.

“They are all third Firmament demon monarchs. However, they are very mediocre. They can’t even dodge my arrows,” said Liu Qiyue via voice transmission. “Next.”

Swoosh. Meng Chuan grabbed his wife and traveled to their next destination as he sent a voice transmission. “Qiyue, your archery skills have improved greatly after reaching the Realm of Dao. Very few third Firmament demon monarchs can avoid your arrows.”

The couple worked together.

The nearby county cities were very close to each other. On average, they were only a few dozen kilometers away. Meng Chuan arrived at each city with roughly ten leaps.

Whenever they arrived at a county city, Liu Qiyue shot her arrows! Meng Chuan didn’t need to take action because Liu Qiyue easily killed them.

Huh?

“They have fled?”

“The demon monarchs have retreated?”

Meng Chuan and his wife rescued seven county cities. After killing 23 demon monarchs, they rushed to other county cities. However, the demon monarchs had already retreated.

…

“Demon monarchs in seven counties have been wiped out quickly. It’s suspected that a Regis G.o.dfiend is pa.s.sing by. He’s extremely fast. Everyone in the surroundings, retreat!”

A white-furred lion demon monarch clearly grasped the situation of all demon monarchs in Wu State. He immediately ordered all demon monarchs in the five surrounding prefectures around Gu Mountain Prefecture to retreat.

…

“The demon monarchs have retreated?” Liu Qiyue discovered that no demon monarchs could be seen in the county city they arrived at.

“We probably killed them too quickly. The demons sensed the danger,” said Meng Chuan. “There wasn’t even a single elite demon monarch among the 23 third Firmament demon monarchs that we killed. It’s odd…”

“A lot of demon monarchs should have entered the human world. They only sent out ordinary third Firmament demon monarchs to attack. The stronger demon monarchs aren’t in a hurry to take action,” said Liu Qiyue.

Meng Chuan frowned and nodded. “It’ll be troublesome in the future.”

Meng Chuan and his wife continued to investigate the surrounding areas. They discovered that the places which had requested for help were now safe. The couple saved many other county cities because they had killed too many demon monarchs in a short period of time.

“The spots on the Patroller token are disappearing one by one.” Meng Chuan and his wife stood on the peak of a tall mountain. They watched the spots on their Patroller tokens disappear one by one. Archean Mountain had withdrawn the requests for help. Clearly, the other places were now safe.

Huh? Meng Chuan and his wife’s expressions suddenly changed. A purple spot suddenly appeared on their Patroller tokens.

Normal requests for help were red. A purple spot was of higher priority than red spots. If one appeared, Patrollers had to rescue the area which the purple spot denoted before they could rescue other areas.

“An emergency request for help! It’s 365 kilometers away in Qian State.” Meng Chuan grabbed his wife’s arm and immediately leaped towards Qian State.

The couple headed west.

Meng Chuan was much faster after reaching the Divine Power realm. The distance of 365 kilometers was nothing to him.

Along the way, they crossed mountains and rivers. The time it took for mortals to run half a kilometer was the same time it took Meng Chuan and his wife to travel over 350 kilometers.

“We’re here.”

From after—in the wilderness outside a county city—the couple saw four G.o.dfiends fighting six demon monarchs.

“Yan Jin?” Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue were surprised. They recognized Yan Jin at a glance.

Yan Jin had descended from Archean Mountain for several years. This was their first time meeting since he left Archean Mountain.

…

Yan Jin cultivated the Azure Lotus Divine Body—a transcendent-grade G.o.dfiend body—as well as Icefire Seven Absolutes—a Black Metal Sutra. Therefore, his Nine Mystical Caves test was very difficult. However, once he pa.s.sed the test, it meant that he was strong enough to survive once he descended the mountain. Cultivating Icefire Seven Absolutes required one to merge two different Sword Souls together. This made Yan Jin very strong. In addition, he had been down the mountain for a couple of years, and his strength had increased since then. This time, he was lucky enough to be chosen to join a G.o.dfiend team.

This G.o.dfiend team was established with Chang Anguo as the core. Chang Anguo was 165 years old this year. He cultivated the Indestructible Divine Body—also a transcendent-grade G.o.dfiend body. He had reached the Realm of Dao and had condensed an Essence Soul. In terms of domain strength, he was on par with Zhang Yunfeng. Once he cast his domain, he could slaughter ordinary third Firmament demon monarchs easily! Even demon monarchs with divine powers would have greatly reduced combat strength.
