Chapter 55: Black Bear Demon Commander

The massacre by saber beams left many demons astounded .

“All of you, get lost . ” The black bear demon commander stared coldly at the puny human . Then, he let out a guttural roar . The demons around him were so frightened they hurriedly ran far away . They knew how terrifying their commander was . If a battle occurred, those around him might be implicated . Such implications only had one outcome—death .

When he saw demons running away from the black bear demon commander, Meng Chuan immediately became more cautious . Despite his cautiousness, he still charged at the black bear demon commander at maximum speed .

Anybody who wasn’t a Godfiend or demon monarch… None could frighten him!

The black bear demon commander stood still and coldly glared at Meng Chuan . When Meng Chuan was 100-feet away from him, the black bear demon commander suddenly roared .

Growl—

Like thunder, the sound waves produced by the roar blasted forward in a fan-shaped manner . The surrounding houses trembled from the sound wave vibrations and collapsed .

Meng Chuan was shocked by the roar, but he hurriedly sealed his ears with Quintessential Essence . But, even though he had sealed his ears, his entire body turned numb from vibrations . He felt a little dizzy, and his nose started to bleed uncontrollably .

Boom! After roaring, the black bear demon commander took a step forward . It was as though a mountain was charging towards Meng Chuan . His giant foot stomped down on Meng Chuan .

Despite bearing the brunt of the vibrations, Meng Chuan was still able to maintain clarity of his mind . Within his hundred-foot sensory domain, he could sense the black bear commander clearly .

With a whoosh, he dodged the giant foot and slashed at the bear demon’s head . However, Meng Chuan felt his vision turn dark . A giant bear paw brought whistling black wind as it flew towards Meng Chuan .

Not good . Meng Chuan rapidly circulated his Quintessential Essence . Lightning faintly erupted from his body, and he switched directions in midair, dodging to the side . The giant bear’s paw and the whistling black wind swept past him in a harrowing manner .

“Die!” The black bear demon commander roared as he struck out with his paws . The terrifying attack stirred the Heaven and Earth powers .

Black winds howled around Meng Chuan . Using his movement technique amidst the black wind was exhausting .

A pair of giant bear paws struck out at high speed . The strength of the paw strike was simply inconceivable . Meng Chuan’s Godfiend foundation was more robust than peers in his realm, but his strength was still inferior to the black bear demon commander’s .

Yan Jin is good at frontal assaults . His strength is much greater than mine . Perhaps he can withstand the black bear demon commander’s strike . If I’m not using the Power of the Soul, I’ll lose the ability to resist if I get struck, even if I don’t die .

However, he wasn’t flustered . After all, his speed was insane!

Whoosh—

Lightning curled around Meng Chuan’s body . With two blinding flashes, he arrived behind the black bear demon commander .

“Kill!” Meng Chuan attacked the black bear demon commander from behind .

The black bear demon commander immediately turned around and waved his giant bear paws .

Meng Chuan’s lightning-bright figure flashed repeatedly within the black wind generated by the bear demon .

This human is really fast . The black bear demon commander was astonished . In terms of movement techniques, he was far inferior to Meng Chuan . However, his paws had long been trained to be agile and swift . He could produce black wind to suppress his surrounding enemies . He was originally very confident, but he was slightly flustered now . His paws couldn’t touch the human .

Pfft .

The black bear demon commander’s paw missed once again . Meng Chuan seized the opportunity and slashed at the black bear demon commander .

Chi! Chi! Chi! Meng Chuan’s expression changed .

The black bear demon commander’s extremely tough fur was five feet long . By the time Meng Chuan’s saber beams sliced through the fur and bear hide, the attacks lacked power . The thick skin membrane beneath the bear hide blocked the attacks easily .

This strike failed to see blood .

Too thick . Its fur is five feet long, and the bear hide is three feet thick… I can’t damage it at all . Meng Chuan immediately understood his limitations .

This black bear demon commander had immense strength, a strong defense, and a pair of paws containing terrifying might . It even generated strong gusts of wind .

Growl—

After the Meng Chuan’s failed attack, the demon commander’s eyes flashed with a cold glint . With the close distance between the two, the bear demon immediately roared .

Meng Chuan immediately sensed his opponent’s actions using his hundred-foot domain .

Roar— At the close distance, the roar was like a thunderclap, and the sonic waves inundated him .

Boom!

With a thought, Meng Chuan infused the Power of the Soul into his whole body .

Meng Chuan could only hear his beating heart, his breathing, and rushing blood . Every fiber, every bone, and every tendon in his body had Quintessential Essence flowing through them via the meridians . His control over his body soared .

Meng Chuan wasn’t very willing to imbue his body with the Power of the Soul because it would exhaust the Power of the Soul reserves greatly . He could only do this five times! After using it five times, he would take half a day to recover . The entire Eastcalm Prefecture City was currently a battlefield . He had to conserve his Power of the Soul as much as he could to prevent any accidents from occurring .

If he were in a hopeless situation, he could lose his life without the Power of the Soul .

However, the saber strike he delivered earlier showed how ridiculously tough the bear demon’s hide was . He was unable to injure it . He had to use the Power of the Soul to elevate his strength to kill his opponent . As long as he could kill the black bear demon commander, the fight Mirror Lake Dao Academy would face would be much easier .

Swoosh .

His Quintessential Essence fused with his body perfectly . The huge leap in strength and speed multiplied his combat power several-fold . His speed had reached a whole new level . The lightning curling around his body increased in density by ten times . It was as though he had become a lightning god .

Swoosh .

He stepped on the bear demon’s body, leaving behind an afterimage . Following that, he delivered a slash!

Boom!

The saber beam condensed like water . It was a hundred feet long, and it swept past the black bear demon’s neck .

It sliced through the thick fur, bear hide, membrane, muscles…

It completely sliced through the bear .

When speed reached a certain level, a saber beam would become extremely sharp . The sharpness exceeded what the black bear demon commander’s body could handle . The body that the bear demon was proud of could not withstand such a strike .

The black bear demon head—which was much larger than a house—flew up into the air . The black bear demon commander’s eyes were still filled with disbelief . He couldn’t understand why the other party could suddenly kill him with a single strike despite having the upper hand previously . The strike was so fast that he was unable to withstand or block it . Its sharpness was not something his body could defend against .

The black bear demon commander was dead .

Time to leave . Meng Chuan didn’t stop as lightning curled around his body unceasingly . He transformed into a bolt of lightning and rushed towards Blazing Sun Dao Academy .

…

Nearby demons were watching from afar . They had been filled with confidence in their commander .

When they saw Meng Chuan fail to injure the commander with his first strike, many demons laughed .

“This human is truly laughable . ”

“Commander has the Black Mountain demon monarch bloodline . His body is like a mountain . In the entire Nine Convocation fief, Commander’s body is the strongest beneath demon monarchs . ”

“His blade is scratching an itch for Commander . ”

“He has been hit by Commander’s roar at such close distance . He’s dead . ”

The demons watched with smiles .

But following that, the figure enveloped by lightning produced a terrifying strike! The aqueous saber beam beheaded the bear demon, causing all the demons to fall silent .

The black bear demon commander was dead? Killed by a single slash?

As they watched the figure rapidly depart, no demons attempted to stop him! They were completely terrified .

Ordinary demons would be sliced apart by saber beams . If a lieutenant commander went over? Even the commander had been killed with one strike, so wouldn’t it be tempting fate if a lieutenant commander went over?

“The commander is dead . What should we do?” The remaining eight lieutenant commanders hesitated .

Immediately, a snake demon commander said, “There are always casualties when attacking a human city . Since the commander is dead, we have to continue heading for our destination . Attack Mirror Lake Dao Academy . ”

“A human Dao Academy is the most heavily guarded . All sides will provide reinforcements . With the Commander around, we could invade it, but it’s not ideal to go there now . We should go somewhere else . We can still kill humans this way . ”

“To the Dao Academy, that is our most important goal . ”

“What’s the point if we can’t kill them? Let’s kill the other humans in the city!” The eight commanders began to squabble .

The demons followed the law of the jungle . None of the eight commanders could completely restrain their peers .

Hence, this demon army began to disperse . Some continued advancing and prepared to head to Mirror Lake Dao Academy to see if any other demon armies were attacking it . If there were, they could then join in . Some had completely given up on attacking Mirror Lake Dao Academy and began to hunt down the humans in Eastcalm Prefecture .

…

I’ve done all I can . Without a commander’s threat, Mirror Lake Dao Academy should be able to hold on . Meng Chuan turned into a blur as he rushed forward . I have to find Qiyue right now .

He had already wasted time due to his skirmish . He couldn’t afford to waste any more time .

Swish! Swish! Swish!

He hurried at full speed .
