Chapter 182

Jiang State’s Changfeng Prefecture City had 1 . 2 million people . It was a rather large prefecture city, and the Godfiends here were rather strong .

But currently, beacon smoke rose from Changfeng Prefecture’s city walls as countless mortals hid in the tunnels .

“Hahaha, that’s all the strength a Godfiend has?” A massive snake demon—about 50 to 60 feet tall despite being coiled up—looked down at the surroundings . Black fog surrounded the snake demon . A radius of half a kilometer was covered in black fog . Two other demon monarchs hid within the black fog . A rhinoceros demon monarch even grabbed a human Godfiend’s corpse and swallowed it .

This caused the Godfiends outside the black fog to widen their eyes in anger .

“Leave the three demon monarchs to us,” said a man with two short spears on his back .

“Senior Brother Fan, the other demon monarchs that attacked Changfeng Manor were killed by us . There are only three left! Being the leader, the snake demon’s domain is very powerful . It also has demonic divine powers . As for the other two demon monarchs, they are also elite demon monarchs . When they work together, they are even stronger . Nine of our Changfeng Prefecture Godfiends died in battle, with most of them succumbing at the trio’s hands . ”

“The snake demon’s divine power is a poisonous fog . Anyone who gets hit with it will die . No Godfiend has managed to withstand it . ” The five remaining Godfiends in Changfeng Prefecture warned the man with two short spears about the dangers .

“Don’t worry . ” The three Godfiends that had rushed over were extremely confident . For them to be sent as reinforcements, they were obviously very powerful . Their teamwork was even more impressive .

“Kill!”

“Kill them . ”

“Attack . ”

The three Godfiends charged forward at the same time . One used their domain to attack the black fog .

“Senior Brother Fan, this snake demon’s domain is very mighty . My domain can’t be formed,” said a Godfiend with a sword in one hand .

“Same old . Pick them off one by one . ” Senior Brother Fan held a short spear in each hand .

The female Godfiend—who held a shield and saber—nodded .

After the three charged into the black fog, they moved towards the rhinoceros demon . The snake demon and mantis demon immediately moved towards the rhinoceros demon .

The snake demon monarch—who controlled the domain—moved forward at an extremely fast speed with his slender body . He was the first to arrive beside the rhinoceros demon .

“Kill the rhinoceros demon monarch first,” ordered Senior Brother Fan via voice transmission . Their plan remained unchanged . “Attack . ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the female Godfiend—who was wielding a saber and shield—had a blurry red glow in her eyes . An invisible illusion enveloped the rhinoceros demon . This female Godfiend was the core of the three-man team . She had mastered a Red Dust Drawing illusion technique and was best at fighting one-on-one . Any demon monarch attacked by her in a one-on-one battle would instantly lose control and be slaughtered .

Therefore, this three-man team was very suitable for the strategy of picking off enemies one by one .

“Haha…” The rhinoceros demon laughed loudly as he brandished two massive hammers in a bid to strike .

Suddenly, he stood still dazedly . He currently saw an extremely beautiful scene . He was inside a luxurious palace . Countless lesser demons served large amounts of food . An endless flow of all kinds of food was available to him . He ate in extreme bliss .

“Die . ” The short spear in Senior Brother Fan’s hand was as fast as lightning . He stabbed at the rhinoceros demon monarch’s head in a bid to pierce it . He knew very well that these elite demon monarchs had very strong vitality . Even if their hearts were pierced, these demon monarchs could still deliver a final counterattack before dying . However, they would instantly die if their heads were stabbed . They would be unable to put up any further resistance .

“Roar—” Upon seeing this, Demon Monarch Snake immediately spat out black fog .

However, Senior Brother Fan was extremely confident . With my speed, I can kill the rhinoceros demon monarch and avoid the poisonous fog .

But suddenly—

Pfft .

A phantom shot out from underground as fast as lightning, penetrating Senior Brother Fan’s head .

Senior Brother Fan’s eyes widened, but his consciousness had already dissipated . It’s a trap!

Just before he died, he realized that it had been a trap .

Whoosh .

Following that, the poisonous fog descended . Senior Brother Fan—who was unable to dodge—was enveloped by the poisonous fog . His body immediately melted, and only a pool of blood was left behind .

“Senior Brother Fan!” The female Godfiend and the sword-wielding Godfiend revealed looks of disbelief . Senior Brother Fan—who had already reached the Realm of Dao—was killed instantly?

Due to the black fog domain, they couldn’t see what was happening . They only saw the towering snake demon monarch spew out a poisonous fog, which then enveloped the surrounding area . Following that, Senior Brother Fan died! Through the token, they clearly knew that Senior Brother Fan was dead .

“Run!” Although they were furious, they didn’t hesitate to retreat .

Because neither of the two specialized in close combat—one was skilled with illusions while the other had to manipulate a domain while engaging in melee combat—they were inferior to Senior Brother Fan in terms of comprehensive combat strength . Since Senior Brother Fan had died instantly, they would be sending themselves to their deaths if they continued attacking .

…

“Not good . ” Five Changfeng Prefecture Godfiends outside the domain heard cries after Senior Brother Fan and company rushed in . The two phrases, “Senior Brother Fan!” and “Run!” allowed the Godfiends outside to know that something was amiss .

Seconds later, the female Godfiend exited the black fog domain . Her companions had died in the domain; nobody else but her survived .

How can this be? How can it be… The female Godfiend was stunned .

“Hahaha!” Demon Monarch Mantis’s saber-leg pierced the sword-wielding Godfiend’s corpse . He raised it high and threw it down . The rhinoceros demon monarch opened his gaping mouth to more than ten feet wide and swallowed the Godfiend’s corpse in one mouthful .

“Senior Brother Qu!” The female Godfiend’s eyes turned red . “Senior Brother Fan!”

In the blink of an eye, Senior Brother Qu and Senior Brother Fan had died . This made her angry and heartbroken, but she couldn’t do anything .

“How did Senior Brother Fan die?” asked the five Changfeng Prefecture Godfiends .

“I couldn’t see what happened in the domain . With Senior Brother Fan’s strength, he should be able to dodge the poisonous fog . But once the poisonous fog appeared, Senior Brother Fan died . ” The female Godfiend shook her head gently . “How could this be?”

“The demons’ divine powers are unpredictable . ”

“Legend has it that the demons’ divine powers vary in strength . The stronger ones are comparable to the might of a fourth Firmament demon monarch . ”

The Godfiends were panicking .

How strong was Senior Brother Fan? He could match the five of them combined; yet, he had died inside .

“Haha, Godfiends, what other tricks do you have left? Feel free to use them . ” Demon Monarch Snake and company used their domains, forcing the Godfiends to retreat . They did not dare stray close to the domains .

“They are still slaughtering civilians in the domain . ”

“These three demon monarchs!”

The Godfiends were extremely infuriated . There were civilians hidden in the tunnels that were being discovered and slaughtered constantly . But reason told them that charging into the domain was suicidal .

…

Jiang State Capital, Archean Mountain’s Jiang State branch .

Dean Chang, Zhang Yunfeng, and Yang Fang were resting here when they suddenly saw a bolt of lightning fly over . Instantly, it arrived in front of them .

It was Meng Chuan .

“Junior Brother Meng . ” Dean Chang, Zhang Yunfeng, and Yang Fang stood up .

Dean Chang saw Meng Chuan’s protective inner armor . His inner armor was covered in cracks and had caved in slightly, not to mention his tattered robes .

“I patrolled the area and killed another demon monarch and Skydemon . There shouldn’t be any demon monarchs or Skydemons left in the city,” said Meng Chuan . “Even if there’s one, it should be escaping . ”

“Junior Brother Meng, it’s been hard on you . Your inner armor has been damaged . I’ll get you a new set,” said Dean Chang with a smile . “We only have standard inner armor here . They were only meant for Great Solar Godfiend-level combat at best . ”

“Thank you, Senior Brother Chang,” said Meng Chuan .

Those who were able to become the dean of a state capital were typically older and powerful Godfiends .

“We don’t have much inner armor suitable for a Great Solar Godfiend . Only three sets suit your body type . They are black, red, and blue . Which do you want, Junior Brother Meng?” Dean Chang asked .

“Black,” said Meng Chuan .

Soon, a black robe and a black inner armor arrived .

After changing his inner armor, Meng Chuan finally no longer looked like a beggar .

Meng Chuan, Zhang Yunfeng, and company sat down and relaxed .

“How were the losses this time?” Meng Chuan asked .

“The city’s eastern region suffered the greatest losses . A total of 18 Godfiends died in battle,” said Dean Chang with a sigh . “6 Great Solar Godfiends and 12 Indestructible Godfiends . Five were Archean Mountain disciples . ”

Meng Chuan, Zhang Yunfeng, and Yang Fang felt their hearts ache when they heard that .

Thirteen outer sect Godfiends and five Archean Mountain Godfiends had died in battle . It was mainly because of the fourth Firmament Skydemon! Without him, the losses would not have been so great .

“You have already done very well . I don’t even dare think about killing a Fourth firmament Skydemon,” said Dean Chang .

Meng Chuan and company fell silent . They knew every Godfiend . As the three most powerful experts in Jiang State Capital, they had intelligence on every Godfiend in the city . Now, 18 of them had died . This was a huge loss .

“Oh?” Meng Chuan and Zhang Yunfeng sensed something as the tokens they carried with them turned hot . They took it out to have a look .

“Changfeng Prefecture is in danger . Archean Mountain wants us to go over . ” Meng Chuan immediately stood up .

“Let’s go . ” Zhang Yunfeng stood up as well .

“Senior Brother Zhang, your body…” Yang Fang was extremely worried .
