Chapter 453 - Giving Up (1/2)

The attack happened nearly instantly.

In fact, Holy Lady Strings had already tried her best to protect the Black River Guard. The goat demon had been wrapped with threads, and it had done its best to resist the attacks. However, the first Bloodblade pierced the Nine Lives Coc.o.o.n threads and struck the Black River Guard’s body, causing his chest to cave in. The second Bloodblade entered the Black River Guard’s body completely. The third Bloodblade shattered his body, struck the Life Casket, and destroyed the life core.

The Life Casket was extremely tough, and it served as protection for the life core.

However, when the Bloodblades struck the Life Casket’s surface, a terrifying force was transmitted, shattering everything inside it.

Just like that, the goat demon Black River Guard died!

When the first Black River Guard was killed, the originally vast 400-kilometer-long black river immediately calmed down. The black chains—which had been suppressing the True Martial domain-dissipated.

Boom!

King True Martial traveled five kilometers in a second. His True Martial domain’s range expanded to five kilometers around him, instantly enveloping Monarch Peac.o.c.k-who had been laying siege more than five kilometers away.

“Demon Monarch Peac.o.c.k.” King True Martial smiled as he charged forward, wanting to engage in close combat. “d.a.m.n it.” Monarch Peac.o.c.k’s purple eyes were filled with anger as he glanced at the distant Black River Guard. Bloodblades struck the five terrified Black River Guard members at the same time. Their bodies exploded as the vast black river began to dissipate. The Bloodblades continued to pursue the other members of the Black River Guard.

The Eighteen Black River Guard is finished. Monarch Peac.o.c.k understood this point. He stared at King True Martial—who was charging towards him—and sneered coldly. He held his spear and charged towards King True Martial.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Monarch Peac.o.c.k and King True Martial clashed.

On the other side, Holy Lady Strings’s expression was gloomy. Patriarch Poison Dragon shook his head slightly. “The Eighteen Black River Guard is finished.”

“It was King Eastcalm,” said Holy Lady Strings coldly. She was able to guess the murderer’s ident.i.ty when the Bloodblades appeared.

Patriarch Poison Dragon frowned. “King Eastcalm, Meng Chuan? Again?”

King Eastcalm, Meng Chuan, had obstructed the demons too many times in this war.

“Holy Lady Strings, save me.”

“Help!”

“Save me!”

The members of the Black River Guard were filled with despair. They were originally fifth Firmament demon monarchs that reigned supreme in a particular region. Under the Imperial Lord’s orders, they willingly transformed into the Black River Guard. They didn’t have hope of becoming demon sages. After becoming part of the Black River Guard, their strength increased greatly. In the future, their status in the Demon Realm would also increase greatly. It wasn’t a bad option.

However, although they had accomplished something in their first battle, who would have thought that they would immediately encounter a life-and-death crisis?

This terrifying G.o.dfiend hid in the deep void, preventing the Black River Array Formation from affecting him. Eighteen Bloodblades appeared in front of them, making it impossible for them to dodge! Every Bloodblade was terrifyingly powerful. Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

Meng Chuan watched as his Bloodblades pursued the Black River Guards.

The attacks were split into two waves.

In the first wave, he killed one Black River Guard. This greatly reduced the Black River Array Formation’s strength, making it unable to pose a threat to the G.o.dfiends any longer.

In the second wave, three Bloodblades attacked another Black River Guard and pursued them. The Bloodblades’ movements were unpredictable and terrifying. The Nine Lives Coc.o.o.n threads couldn’t intercept them even at close range.

Black River Guards exploded one after another! They were horrified and in despair. The Bloodblades were too fast; they couldn’t escape at all.

“Everyone, gather towards me,” said Holy Lady Strings via voice transmission. Numerous Nine Lives Coc.o.o.n threads gathered to protect the five Black River Guards that were closest to her.

“Alright.” The remaining Black River Guards struggled to gather. Swoosh.
