Chapter 212: Pursuit

Fu Jiao suffered a splitting headache . After the Soul-Vanquishing Spike stabbed Fu Jiao’s Essence Soul, his consciousness rumbled, causing his perception of his surroundings to blur . However, no matter how blurry his vision was, he could still understand the current situation around him . He saw Meng Chuan charging forward and delivering a strike .

“Scram!” Fu Jiao was in excruciating pain . He grabbed the black spear with one hand and swept it over . With a terrifying spear sweep, the void exploded, and an area was reduced to rubble . Meng Chuan phased to the left of Fu Jiao and continued sending his vicious saber strike at Fu Jiao’s neck .

Fu Jiao’s perception of his surroundings was blurry, making it difficult for him to discern Meng Chuan’s strike . All he could do was charge forward with his head lowered, allowing the attack to strike his back .

Heart Intent Saber—Tiger Roar Stance!

Boom!

Meng Chuan’s strike was ferocious and violent . However, Fu Jiao’s body withstood the strike like a mountain . Many scales on his body exploded as a bloody gash appeared . One could barely see Fu Jiao’s muscles through the lacerated skin, but the wound immediately healed .

What a powerful body . Meng Chuan was alarmed .

Essence Soul mystic technique—Soul-Vanquishing Spike . How can Meng Chuan use the Soul-Vanquishing Spike? Fu Jiao fled frantically after suffering the saber strike; he found Meng Chuan’s usage of the Soul-Vanquishing Spike unbelievable .

“Do you think you can escape?” Meng Chuan caught up to Fu Jiao in a flash with his astonishing speed .

As Fu Jiao fled like a beast, he looked up and saw a human woman with flame wings in the sky—Liu Qiyue . Liu Qiyue is Meng Chuan’s weakness! Two golden beams shot out from Fu Jiao’s eyes after blinking . However, Meng Chuan’s Soul-Vanquishing Spike immediately pierced Fu Jiao’s Essence Soul again, causing his consciousness to blur from the pain .

The two golden beams dissipated .

Forget it . I can’t use any divine powers at all since Meng Chuan can control the Soul-Vanquishing Spike . Meng Chuan can hold me back with his speed . I’m unable to approach Liu Qiyue at all . Despite facing this dire situation with blurry senses, he still understood what he couldn’t do . Therefore, he swept his black spear around as he fled .

Although his Essence Soul was heavily injured and had a blurry perception of his surroundings, he could still maintain basic reasoning . However, he couldn’t execute any mystical moves at all; he could only attack clumsily . Fortunately, his body was very strong; thus, this random sweep still possessed plenty of strength—roughly 30-40% of his full strength .

However, this attack wasn’t able to stop Meng Chuan—who had extraordinary movement techniques .

Shriek! An ear-piercing screech accompanied the spear .

Meng Chuan’s saber art was bizarre and unpredictable . Fu Jiao roared angrily as he brandished his black spear with all his might . “Scram!” shouted Fu Jiao .

However, Meng Chuan’s saber moved unpredictably . Although Fu Jiao’s spear sweep covered a large area, it failed to touch Meng Chuan’s saber .

Fu Jiao suddenly rolled, and Demon Slayer stabbed into Fu Jiao’s back .

Pfft .

After creating a bloody hole, the saber plunged in halfway . A saber beam blasted through Fu Jiao’s body as blood splattered from the wound .

Fu Jiao convulsed slightly . However, the stocky, thirty-foot-tall Fu Jiao continued running with all his might despite being injured by the saber .

Its body is extremely tough, both internally and externally . Only Dragon Roar Stance can injure it severely . Meng Chuan realized what he had to do as he pursued Fu Jiao .

Meng Chuan formed a series of phantom images; they executed the Dragon Roar Stance repeatedly in an attempt to pierce Fu Jiao’s head .

Fu Jiao also knew that his head was a vital point, so he brandished his spear to protect his head . He also lowered his head while fleeing .

Boom!

Still casting a forbidden spell, Fu Jiao barged forward with his spear . His strike shattered all the buildings, trees, and rockery in his way . However, his injuries worsened . After fleeing for about three kilometers, he charged through a thick city wall and rushed into the wilderness .

He had already been pierced five times by Meng Chuan’s Dragon Roar Stance . Even his heart had been pierced once, causing it to shatter . Although Meng Chuan’s attacks aggravated Fu Jiao’s injuries, only his head remained a vital point after cultivating his body to this stage . He had no other vital points in his body; regrowing a destroyed heart would just take him time .

It’s wrong! All wrong! Our demons’ intelligence is ridiculously wrong . They say that the three Archean Mountain genius youths are on par with each other . However, Meng Chuan is much stronger than Xue Feng and Yan Chitong! His Essence Soul is what makes him monstrously powerful .

Meng Chuan’s talent in Essence Soul cultivation has to be in the top ten in human history . He’s a Great Solar Godfiend with a third-level Essence Soul at the age of 36!

Fu Jiao knew that he had discovered a huge secret .

Meng Chuan had obtained a third-level Essence Soul at the Great Solar realm . What would happen when he became a Marquis Godfiend? What realm could Meng Chuan’s Essence Soul reach when he’s a Regis Godfiend?

In fact, when Meng Chuan attained a second-level Essence Soul a few years ago, Supremacies Qin Wu and Luo Tang made an exception and allowed Meng Chuan to enter Archean Eon Grotto-Heaven! The duo held great expectations for Meng Chuan’s talent for cultivating the Essence Soul . It would be a pleasant surprise for Supremacies Qin Wu and Luo Tang when they discovered that he had attained a third Essence Soul in just a few years .

It will be a great contribution as long as I survive and report this information to the higher-ups . The rewards bestowed will probably be in no way inferior to what I gain from killing two Marquis Godfiends . Fu Jiao was very confident that the Demon Realm’s upper echelons would reward him greatly once he reported this information .

Meng Chuan—who had been chasing after him all this while—attacked again . He stabbed his cold saber into Fu Jiao’s neck . Fu Jiao’s neck was about three-foot-thick . Meng Chuan’s strike tore through the scales and thick layers shielding Fu Jiao’s neck . This attack damaged Fu Jiao’s neck severely .

Fu Jiao gasped in pain . As long as he stabs my head, I’m dead . I don’t have the strength to block his attacks anymore .

As Fu Jiao looked at the vast wilderness, he suddenly dived underground . His surging demonic energy tore through the soil and rocks as he rapidly descended .

Boom—

Rocks and earth exploded as a saber beam erupted from one of Meng Chuan’s phantoms . His true body rapidly approached Fu Jiao .

Meng Chuan sensed that Fu Jiao’s strength was decreasing due to his injuries . I’ll definitely kill it within ten strikes .

With another thought, the Soul-Vanquishing Spike stabbed Fu Jiao’s Essence Soul once again . The God Vanquishing Strike was the strongest mystic technique of a third-level Essence Soul .

According to the manuals of Essence Soul mystic techniques, death was almost certain when one faced the Soul-Vanquishing Spike without an Essence Soul . Only those with extraordinary willpower could reform their consciousness after it was stabbed, keeping them alive .

A first-level Essence Soul would be heavily injured when pierced by a Soul-Vanquishing Spike . One’s consciousness would be a blur, and they could only muster simple thoughts . As for exquisite moves? There was no way they could execute them at all . They could only attack clumsily .

When a Soul-Vanquishing Spike pierced a second-level Essence Soul, the Essence Soul would be slightly damaged and slightly affected .

Fu Jiao could only attack clumsily; thus, his overall strength was greatly reduced .

Pfft .

Fu Jiao’s head managed to dodge another terrifying strike . The saber ended up piercing his right shoulder, boring a deep bloody hole through it .

Fu Jiao’s right arm strength was immediately reduced by 50 percent . The many injuries on Fu Jiao’s bodies—as well as the damage to his organs and heart—meant that the strength he could unleash had decreased greatly . This allowed Meng Chuan to follow Fu Jiao easily and attack him again and again .

From the looks of it, I can’t escape this time . Even with his tenacious vitality, Fu Jiao felt despair . He couldn’t see any hope of survival .

…

Swoosh .

A black beam of light flew at high speeds through the clouds . A black-haired elder was within the black beam of light . He was Archean Mountain’s Regis Godfiend, King Luyue . He was the supreme leader of Yue State’s numerous clans . Normally, he guarded Luo Tang Pass .

Supremacy Luo Tang and two Regis Godfiends guarded Luo Tang Pass—a major city pass . Luo Tang Pass neighbored the Wu State and Qian State .

Quick, quick, quick . King Luyue—who was about 300 years old—was extremely anxious . Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue are in danger . I have to arrive as soon as possible .

As an older Godfiend, he placed great importance on the sect’s genius disciples .

I still have 150 kilometers to go . Meng Chuan, Liu Qiyue, both of you have to hold on . King Luyue rushed towards Eastcalm Prefecture’s Peace County City at full speed .
