Chapter 290 - Heartache (1/2)

Although the spider demoness instinctively controlled a large number of spider threads to block the attack, the spider demoness was despairingly reduced to dust as the saber beam penetrated her head.

In seconds, half of the originally-confident demon monarch team was killed.

“Too powerful.”

“How could he be so strong?”

The nine-headed lion, flower demoness, and old dragon turtle fled underground. With their strength, it would be impressive if a Regis G.o.dfiend killed half of them when they fled in different directions. However, Meng Chuan had killed three of them before they even made it underground! He was much faster than Regis G.o.dfiends!

Escaping? The Divine Eye of Lightning on Meng Chuan’s glabella had long been opened. The electromagnetic domain enveloped his surroundings. Furthermore, he also cast his Indestructible Divine Armor. A blurry light covered his body, and it caused the surrounding void to collapse and distort. With a wave of his hand, two streams of his dark-cyan baneful aura traversed 1000 feet and caught up to the nine-headed lion demon monarch and the flower demoness.

At the same time, Meng Chuan chased after the old dragon turtle, who had fled the furthest.

“Seal!” The old dragon turtle cast his domain with his full might. Endless fog blocked the two streams of Meng Chuan’s dark-cyan baneful aura-an attempt to help his teammates.

“d.a.m.n.” The nine-headed lion demon monarch had seen how terrifying this baneful aura was with his own eyes. Even Serpentwing had been frozen to the point he was unable to resist. Without hesitation, the nine-headed lion demon monarch split into nine avatars.

One of his avatars took the initiative to face the baneful aura as the other eight frantically fled in different directions. This was a life-saving divine power that originated from his bloodline—the Doppelganger Technique. Just using the technique once would severely injure him.

Crackle.

When the baneful aura touched one of the nine-headed lion demon monarch’s avatar, the avatar immediately froze and shattered into pieces. The baneful aura split into eight as it pursued the eight remaining avatars.

“No.” The purple-robed flower demoness revealed a look of panic. She was weak and lovable. A faint green fluctuation emanated from her glabella, heading toward the distant Meng Chuan. However, when it reached Meng Chuan—who had a fourth-level Essence Soul – he wasn’t affected by it at all. Meng Chuan continued controlling his baneful aura to freeze the flower demoness.

The flower demoness shattered into pieces.

What? Meng Chuan frowned slightly. The distance between him and his baneful aura increased since he was pursuing the old dragon turtle. There was a limit to how far his baneful aura could travel away from him!

The nine-headed lion demon monarch’s eight remaining avatars were fleeing very quickly. Even if he chased after them personally, he would not be able to chase the eight avatars simultaneously.

These demon monarchs really have a lot of escaping abilities. Meng Chuan was extremely fast, so he easily caught up to the dragon turtle. “Spare me!” The old dragon turtle pleaded.

Pfft.

The dark-red Demon Slayer easily penetrated the old dragon turtle’s sh.e.l.l and stabbed into its body. Following that, the old dragon turtle’s lifeblood was completely drained, causing his entire body to turn to dust. Even the turtle sh.e.l.l turned to dust.

Whoosh. Meng Chuan swept up the items left behind by the old dragon turtle. He stored the remnants of the flower demoness’s corpse in his pocket grotto-heaven with his Darkstar Quintessential Essence before returning to the surface.

Whoosh.

With a thought, the items left behind by Serpentwing, the spider demoness, and the goat demon monarch were stored away.

Although it took time to describe, the entire battle took roughly 15 seconds.

Two Marquis G.o.dfiends were rus.h.i.+ng over! It was about 40 kilometers from one city wall to another. With the average speed of a Marquis G.o.dfiend, it would take them more than 30 seconds to arrive. While the two Marquis G.o.dfiends were still on their way, Meng Chuan had already killed five greater demon monarchs. Only the nine-headed lion demon monarch had escaped thanks to his divine power.

“It’s Meng Chuan.” Marquis Southcloud and Marchioness Iron Flower flew over at full speed. From afar, they could see the battle at the northern city wall. However, it was very difficult to see the battle clearly because the mist was so thick. They only felt that the erupted demonic power was astonis.h.i.+ng.

They were halfway through their journey when Meng Chuan returned to the surface.

The battle had clearly ended. Meng Chuan nodded slightly at them before transforming into a bolt of lightning and disappearing into the horizon.

“So fast.”

Marquis Southcloud and Marquis Iron Flower exchanged looks.

“That powerful demon monarch team was completely defeated by Meng Chuan?” Marchioness Iron Flower was a valiant woman. She exclaimed, “The two of us jointly guard Chu An City, but Meng Chuan suddenly appeared. He’s acting alone, so he’s probably responsible for reinforcing various cities.”

“Yes.” Marquis Southcloud nodded. “It’s just that we haven’t requested for reinforcements. Why is he here?”

“Perhaps he happened to pa.s.s by,” said Marchioness Iron Flower. “It wouldn’t be easy for the two of us to defeat those greater demon monarchs, but he was able to kill them instantly.”

Marquis Southcloud nodded slightly. “Back then, I personally watched him partic.i.p.ate in Archean Mountain’s entrance examination and enter Archean Mountain. Now, his strength is above mine.”

Marchioness Iron Flower smiled. “This means that humanity has greater hope.”
