Chapter 201: Archean Mountain Godfiend

Although Qian Mo had sought help, he had only encountered three Second Firmament demon monarchs . At this threat level, his request for help would naturally not reach Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue . In fact, even the prefecture’s only Godfiend team was not deployed . Instead, they sent out a third Firmament avian demon monarch—that was about 150 kilometers away . The avian demon monarch was fast enough to reach Willow River Fort, save Qian Mo, and kill the three Second Firmament demon monarchs .

Ever since the demons’ first large scale attack, the number of avian demon monarchs under the control of humans had greatly increased . However, it was not easy to control them completely . Because of this, humans mostly controlled the avian demon monarchs directly .

Avian demon monarchs were extremely fast . They could fly, provide help, monitor, and send letters… They could be used for many different things .

“That Demon Monarch Cat was a demon monarch with a divine power . ” Liu Qiyue and Meng Chuan were chatting idly along the way . “Speaking of which, Ah Chuan, you have killed quite a few demon monarchs with divine powers, right?”

“Yes, a few . ” Meng Chuan nodded . “Demon monarchs with divine powers are very strong . For example, Demon Monarch White Fox was adept at bewitchment . Unless one condenses an Essence Soul or has an extremely strong will, they would be affected . They might be killed instantly . Demon Monarch Cat’s divine powers were similarly strange . ”

Demon Monarch Cat’s divine powers targeted the head, so having a strong will was useless . There were only two ways to deal with such an attack . One method was to have an extremely powerful physical body . For example, Meng Chuan had attained the Diamond Body, so his head could withstand it completely . The divine power was useless against him .

The second method was to possess an Essence Soul . When the head was heavily injured and unable to control the body, one would have to rely on the Power of Essence Soul to control their body . The fusion of Essence Soul and one’s body provided one with quicker reaction speed . One’s control over their body was also much more refined . However, this consumed one’s Power of Essence Soul’s reserves rather quickly .

It was extremely difficult for typical Great Solar Godfiends to have a powerful physical body or an Essence Soul .

This was why Demon Monarch Cat was terrifying! Fortunately, the four Godfiends could help each other . If they were to fight one-on-one, none of them would be a match for Demon Monarch Cat .

“In this world, there are many demon monarchs with divine powers . ” Meng Chuan shook his head gently . “The Godfiend teams across the world are at a disadvantage . Fortunately, there are Marquis Godfiends and rescue teams like us that can help the various areas . However, sometimes we might be too late by the time we arrive to help . Thus, this war is destined to be tragic . ”

“Archean Mountain has over 100 peak Great Solar Godfiends . They can easily form dozens of rescue teams . Every prefecture will have two or three Marquis Godfiends as Patrollers,” said Liu Qiyue . “We have sufficient strength to deal with most threats that require our help . We have enough strength to kill those demon monarchs with divine powers . In the Demon Realm, there aren’t many demon monarchs with divine powers . Each one we kill is important . ”

Meng Chuan only knew little of Archean Mountain’s plans, but their current situation wasn’t bad . However, the demons attacked everywhere, making deaths of innocent mortals inevitable . In fact, under the premise of ensuring the survival of humanity, Archean Mountain had already tried its best to protect mortals .

Mmm? Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue’s expression suddenly changed . From afar, they saw billowing smoke .

“A demon monarch attack?” Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue looked at each other . They shared the same thoughts, and they immediately headed straight towards the smoke .

They were extremely fast . Their surroundings blurred due to the lightning around them and the speed they moved at . They moved several times faster than the speed of sound .

Soon, they saw a half-destroyed fort castle . Within the ruins, one could vaguely make out a few human corpses . They could also see three demon monarchs attacking a Godfiend .

The Godfiend cast a forbidden Godfiend spell and used his two sabers to resist the three demon monarchs’ attacks, but he had a claw mark on his chest . The claw had nearly torn his body apart . Fortunately for him, he had retreated quickly, but it still injured his internal organs . He had tried his best to stop the bleeding .

“He can’t hold on any longer . ” As Meng Chuan said that, he let go of his wife and rushed over to save the Godfiend .

…

Many tunnels in Willow River Fort had cracked open from the shockwaves . The mortals within those tunnels could see the battle outside through the cracks .

Lord Qian was fighting with three terrifying demon monarchs . The shockwaves were simply devastating .

“Lord Qian . ” The child, Hong Chong, and the surrounding villagers watched everything through the cracks . Hong Chong had never imagined that Lord Qian was a powerful Godfiend!

However, Lord Qian was clearly at a disadvantage as the three demon monarchs attacked his blood-stained body .

“Lord Qian . ” Hong Chong was extremely anxious . He hoped that Lord Qian—who often guided him in his cultivation and gave him meat buns—would survive .

“Lord Qian, you must win . ” The villagers were also hoping for his victory . The villagers knew very well that they could only survive if Lord Qian won . Otherwise, the 6000 villagers hiding in the tunnels would all die .

Whoosh .

Suddenly, a figure appeared, and the three demon monarchs silently collapsed . It was a black-robed youth .

The villagers saw Lord Qian bow respectfully and excitedly talked to the black-clothed youth .

“The demon monarchs are all dead . ”

“A more powerful Godfiend has arrived . ”

The villagers could tell that the black-robed youth’s status was clearly higher than that of Lord Qian . The moment he arrived, the three demon monarchs died instantly .

…

“Greetings, Senior Brother Meng . ” Qian Mo was extremely excited as he bowed respectfully . “If Senior Brother Meng hadn’t arrived, I would have died in another 15 seconds . ”

Whoosh .

Liu Qiyue—who had fiery wings on her back—also descended and landed beside Meng Chuan .

“Greetings, Senior Sister Liu,” said Qian Mo immediately . Although he was only an ordinary Godfiend and not an Archean Mountain inner sect disciple, he knew about the famous Godfiends in the world, such as the Meng and Liu couple! They were two of the most outstanding Great Solar Godfiends . Meng Chuan had the accomplishment of killing a fourth firmament Skydemon after working with two fellow disciples .

It was a legendary achievement to kill an opponent at a higher cultivation realm . Even if it required the joint effort of three Great Solar Gofiends, it remained an inconceivable achievement .

“We were just passing by,” said Meng Chuan with a smile . “When we passed by this place, we saw beacon smoke rising from afar . That’s why we came over to take a look and saved you . ”

“It looks like I’m not fated to die today . ” Qian Mo laughed . He was very happy to be alive and have the vast majority of people in Willow River Fort survive . Although most of Willow River Fort had been reduced to ruins, only a few hundred people had died because they had been hiding in the tunnels . This was much better than Qian Mo had expected .

There was another reason why only hundreds of people had died, and that was because the three demon monarchs were focused on fighting Qian Mo . They hadn’t been able to engage in a large-scale massacre because of this .

Liu Qiyue said, “From afar, I could see that you move quite fast . Why didn’t you escape? Why did you keep fighting these three demon monarchs?”

“In the beginning, I fled,” said Qian Mo in a self-deprecating manner . “However, the demon monarchs destroyed the fort and began massacring the mortals in the tunnels . I couldn’t help but return . I was hoping that I could hold back the demon monarchs until reinforcements could arrive . If I really couldn’t hold on any longer, I would’ve escaped with all my might . However, I never thought that the claw would cause such severe injuries to me . Since my organs got injured, it became very difficult for me to unleash my full strength . That was no way for me to escape . ”

Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue were stunned .

He had initially escaped, but he returned?

“When demons attack a city,” Meng Chuan said softly, “it will be hard to find Godfiends quickly due to the size of a city . The demons slaughter mortals to force Godfiends to show themselves . Those three demon monarchs slaughtered mortals to force you to return, and you really returned . ” Meng Chuan didn’t know what to say .

Doing so didn’t abide by Archean Mountain’s orders . However, Meng Chuan was impressed by such a person .

…

The couple wasn’t in a hurry to leave . Instead, they chose a rather intact hall in Willow River Fort and chatted with Qian Mo for an hour, just in case any third Firmament demon monarchs came to Willow River Fort as backup .

An hour later, Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue left . Earth Net personnel also came and took the demon monarchs’ corpses away .

“Lord Qian, Hong Chong’s family is here . ” The village chief brought Hong Chong over . Hong Chong’s parents watched nervously . They now knew that Lord Qian was a Godfiend .

“Now that my identity has been exposed, it’s time for me to leave Willow River Fort . ” Qian Mo’s face was pale as he spoke with a smile on his face . “This child, Hong Chong, is extremely talented . He far exceeds his peers in the village fort . It’ll be a waste for him not to receive a good education . Therefore, I plan to move your family of three to the prefecture city . I will also arrange for Hong Chong to cultivate in a Dao Academy . I wonder if you are willing to go?”

Hong Chong’s parents exchanged glances, both filled with excitement .

Their son’s talent was appreciated by a Godfiend? He wanted to groom their son?

“Yes, we’re willing,” said Hong Chong’s parents immediately .

Hong Chong found it unbelievable that he was going to attend a Dao Academy in a prefecture city .

Upon seeing the battle between Lord Qian and the demon monarchs, as well as the scene of the three demon monarchs being killed without any resistance once the black-robed Godfiend descended, he yearned to become someone like Lord Qian, or even the black-robed Godfiend .

“Hong . ” Qian Mo smiled as he looked at the child . “You are very talented, and it won’t be difficult for you to reach the Impervious realm . However, it will be very difficult for you to become a Godfiend . Demons are wreaking havoc in the human world . If you don’t become a Godfiend, you will ultimately be unable to fight a demon monarch . Cultivate diligently and work hard to enter Archean Mountain and become a Godfiend . ”

“Enter Archean Mountain and become a Godfiend?” Hong Chong was stunned .

“You saw that black-robed Godfiend, right? He’s a thousand times stronger than me,” said Qian Mo with a smile . “He’s an Archean Mountain Godfiend . ”

Hong Chong nodded . “Yes . ”

Archean Mountain Godfiend?

Hong Chong kept it in mind .
