Chapter 61: Meng Chuan and the Demon Monarch

With the token in hand, Demon Monarch Poison Pool immediately sensed the positions of the other 18 tokens. Nine tokens had become ownerless. Clearly, nine commanders had died.

Oh? Blazing Sun Dao Academy? Poison Pool immediately confirmed one direction. There were two commanders there. One is dead, and Commander Ox is still alive. That newly-advanced, weak Godfiend should still be at Blazing Sun Dao Academy trying to kill Commander Ox. I have to hurry.

Poison Pool knew that the incognito Godfiend would search for new prey once they killed a demon commander. Therefore, only by searching for a live demon commander would he have a chance of finding the incognito Godfiend.

Phew~

Poison Pool transformed into a blur as he moved. Within 100-feet, black fog surrounded him; wherever the black fog touched, corpses would turn into pools of blood. The human experts—who were hidden in areas—were all killed by the fog, their bodies being reduced to nothing but blood.Although Poison Pool didn’t care too much about mortals, he didn’t mind crushing these ants as he passed by.

Laughable humans. Poison Pool glanced at the human mortals he had discovered along the way. If it weren’t for the fact that I had to find that weak Godfiend as soon as possible, I alone would’ve massacred all the humans in this prefecture.

When one’s strength reached a certain level, there was a fundamental difference. Even if a million mortals were to fight Demon Monarch Poison Pool, Demon Monarch Poison Pool wouldn’t suffer any injuries, while all the humans would be killed. In reality, however, mortals would flee in all directions once the situation went south. Regardless of how powerful demon monarchs were, they couldn’t do much. This was where having a colossal demon army shined.

At city passes, humans served in the military to defend against the locust-like demon army. As for the demon monarchs? They were left to Godfiends.

Whoosh.

Poison Pool’s speed was terrifying as he rushed towards Blazing Sun Dao Academy.

Blazing Sun Dao Academy.

“Retreat.”

“Let’s retreat.”

The demons suffered a collapse in morale; they were at a disadvantage. This caused many of the demon lieutenant commanders to order a retreat.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! One demon after another jumped down from the windows. The lieutenant commanders fled at top speed.

“Kill them.”

“Kill those demons!” The fighting spirit of the humans inside Blazing Sun Castle surged. Short spears pierced through demon bodies. Ballistae fired bolts, which pierced through several demons like skewers. The humans inside Blazing Sun Castle held onto their advantage and beat the demons back! They chased after the demons.

Demons were intelligent. They could tell that with Commander Wyrm dead, and Commander Ox nearing death, they stood no chance. Even if Commander Ox escaped and survived, the human expert would turn around and kill them. Death wasn’t far.

The situation was destined to be irreversible.

Therefore, it was wiser to escape as quickly as possible while the human expert fought Commander Ox. No matter how powerful the human expert was, he was only one person. How many could the mysterious human expert kill if they all fled in scattered directions?

They can escape, but I can’t. Commander Ox had already cast forbidden spells as he stirred the Heaven and Earth powers, causing waves to form around him.

Commander Ox brandished his trident and tried to block Meng Chuan’s saber beams.

Swoosh.

Meng Chuan was extremely fast, but whenever he approached Commander Ox, the churning waves caused his speed to decrease by 30%. The speed of his attacks slowed down drastically. Commander Ox brandished his trident and completely blocked Meng Chuan’s attacks.

My strength is equal to this demon commander’s if I don’t use the Power of the Soul. Meng Chuan secretly shook his head. I can’t afford any further delays. I need to head to the ancestral mansion as soon as possible.

His grandaunt had asked him to protect as many clansmen as possible.

Although the eight Dao Academies were the demons’ primary targets—the government office, the military armory, and the five Godfiend family clans being secondary targets—this still involved the safety of 3,000 Meng family members. As long as there were no Godfiends and demon monarchs, he could still act as a deterrent. He was confident in protecting the family clan. Of course, if the Godfiends lost to the demon monarchs at Jadesun Palace, he would flee immediately as per his grandaunt’s instructions.

Jadesun Palace Lord, Grandaunt, and the others will definitely win. All Meng Chuan could do was hope. Many thoughts surfaced in his mind, but his battle with Commander Ox did not stop. After two failed attacks, Meng Chuan infused the Power of the Soul into his whole body again.

His bones and muscles worked in perfect harmony, and his Quintessential Essence circulation became smoother. When all these different factors were combined, his explosive strength increased drastically. His strength increased to a whole new level.

His speed. Commander Ox’s eyes widened. This human expert had the same terrifying speed back when he killed Commander Wyrm.

Whoosh.

Even though waves obstructed the lightning-clad figure, Meng Chuan was still unbelievably fast. Commander Ox barely had time to react. The trident in his hand had barely moved before a saber beam pierced through his forehead. It penetrated the ox’s head, and his mind instantly sunk into darkness.

Demon Commander Ox was dead. Commander Ox’s massive body fell to the ground, causing dust to rise.

“Commander Ox is also dead!”

“Run!”

“Quickly flee!” The demons—who had already been fleeing—wished they could grow more legs as they ran in different directions.

Meng Chuan’s gaze swept over them. With all of them scattering, he would only kill three to five demons. Chasing after them was not worth his time.

Swoosh.

He rushed into Blazing Sun Castle to check on Qiyue.

“Beautiful.”

“Amazing.”

“Senior Brother Meng, you are the Eldest Senior Brother of all eight Dao Academies!” one of the Blazing Sun Dao Academy disciples shouted excitedly.

“Young Master Meng is too powerful. He killed two demon commanders alone.” The soldiers and retired veterans were similarly impressed. They all talked as they watched Meng Chuan rush towards Blazing Sun Castle. They naturally recognized Young Master Meng—who was famous in Eastcalm Prefecture.

Suddenly, their faces changed. All of them looked into the distance.

Liu Qiyue—who had been leaning weakly against the wall—smiled as she watched Meng Chuan coming over. However, she revealed a look of horror when she saw something behind Meng Chuan.

“Senior Brother Meng, be careful!”

“Young Master Meng, be careful!”

“Ah Chuan, be careful!” Everybody exclaimed.

Meng Chuan hadn’t noticed it in the beginning, but he could sense auras within half a kilometer of his position. When the enemy closed in on him, he immediately sensed a terrifying aura. The aura was strong, far stronger than his grandaunt’s. It was also because his grandaunt was heavily injured and weak.

“Such a terrifying aura.” Meng Chuan immediately turned his head.

Whoosh.

Half of the sky behind him was covered by a black fog. When the terrifying existence was about half a kilometer away, the black fog covered a thousand feet, and it was less than a thousand feet away from him.

Whoosh.

The terrifying existence moved at astonishing speeds, far faster than Meng Chuan.

The black fog that blotted out half the sky appeared in front of Meng Chuan in a blink of an eye. Meng Chuan’s 100-feet perception also perceived countless tiny black snakes—that were the size of dust particles—in the black fog. The large number of corpses that lay along the route to Blazing Yang Dao Academy rapidly turned into pools of blood wherever the fog passed. At that moment, the black fog formed by countless black snakes inundated Meng Chuan.

“The person who killed two commanders is actually a mortal! What a surprise.” A hoarse and cold voice came from deep within the black fog.
