Chapter 293 - Arriving in Time (1/2)

Marquis West Sea’s face was pale as he looked at his surroundings. Marquis Purple Rain lay dead on the ground. The area around him was in ruins, and a large number of mortals had died from the shockwaves.

Many G.o.dfiends died in this war. It’s finally my turn today. Marquis West Sea had just exchanged blows with the fifth Firmament demon monarch and knew the difference in strength between them! In a one-on-one battle, he would lose his life in a few moves.

“You have only cultivated for 100 years.” The azure-scaled demon monarch chuckled and said, “In the future, you can become stronger. As long as you consume this demon core, you will still remain as Marquis West Sea to the humans. The humans will have no idea of your betrayal. You will still be able to bask in glory. However, you will have to do something for the demons. When you humans are defeated in the future, you will lead your family clan to pledge allegiance to the demons; thus, enjoying wealth and power.

“In this world, as long as you treat yourself and your family clan well, isn’t that enough?” said the azure-scaled demon monarch as he smiled. “There’s a saying among you humans. Heaven destroys those who don’t look out for themselves!”

The azure-scaled demon monarch tried to persuade Marquis West Sea. A dead Marquis West Sea was worth limited credit. If Marquis West Sea submitted to the demons and became a spy in the human camp, it would be much better for the demons. He would earn many more credits than if he killed Marquis West Sea.

Marquis West Sea looked at the azure-scaled demon monarch. “Do it.”

“I don’t understand. Isn’t it only right to bow your heads to the strong?” The azure-scaled demon monarch was puzzled. “We demons are much stronger than you humans. Why don’t you bow your heads?”

“Bow our heads?” Marquis West Sea looked at the azure-scaled demon monarch, laughed, and said, “It’s too stifling and frustrating to be a dog for the demons! As a G.o.dfiend of this world, I will be upright and steadfast. I will not shame the heavens or the earth. How can I be a lackey for the demons?”

“Just because it’s stifling and frustrating?” said the azure scaled demon monarch in surprise.

“Just thinking about such a fate makes me unhappy,” said Marquis West Sea as he smiled. “It’s already been 30 seconds. Don’t waste your efforts.” Marquis West Sea was already prepared to die. Death was inevitable since time immemorial. It was just a matter of when one would die.

At that moment, Marquis West Sea recalled his life. He was born in a Regis G.o.dfiend family—the Yan family. He had been diligent and talented since he was young. He loved his wife greatly. Although his son, Yan Chitong, was more unruly than his father, his cultivation speed was faster than his father’s.

My dear wife, pardon me for being unable to accompany you any further.

“Thirty seconds are up. What a pity.” The azure-scaled demon monarch shook his head gently as his figure suddenly moved.

Marquis West Sea’s eyelids twitched as madness appeared in his eyes. Although he was prepared to die, it didn’t mean that he wouldn’t resist! Instantly, he cast a forbidden G.o.dfiend spell and used his sword arts to attack the incoming azure-scaled demon monarch.

Clang! Clang! Clang! The azure-scaled demon monarch only used his right claw to block the attacks. Every single nail on his right claw was extremely sharp. He easily parried the sword beam when he gently tapped on it.

He completely crushed Marquis West Sea in all aspects, be it strength, speed, or realm.

Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+

Marquis West Sea instantly split into seven.

The azure-scaled demon monarch also moved. He kept staring at Marquis West Sea’s true body, easily fending off his attacks.

I will die, but we humans will definitely win this war. Marquis West Sea turned increasingly deranged. Huh? The azure-scaled demon monarch’s expression changed slightly as he noticed something a distance away in the corner of his eyes. An expert had entered his domain and was charging over.

Chi! Chi! Chi!

The void distorted and collapsed. A saber beam flew out from the distorted void, instantly arriving before the azure-scaled demon monarch.

Fast! It was inconceivably fast!

Meng Chuan specialized in swift saber arts; thus, his saber beams were naturally fast. Coupled with his divine power distorting the void, the saber beam could be said to have teleported in front of the azure-scaled demon monarch. A dark-red saber came closer to him. The azure-scaled demon monarch was a fifth Firmament demon monarch. Since he had reached the Dharma Domain realm, he was extremely sensitive to attacks. The saber caused black cracks to appear in the world, making his heart tighten.

The azure-scaled demon monarch moved his right claw—which had been approaching Marquis West Sea—to meet the stunning saber beam. The azure-scaled demon monarch’s claw was extremely gentle, more gentle than a lover’s caress. His five fingers were soft and boneless as they clashed with the saber beam.
