Chapter 231: 231

Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue saw smoke rising from several places in the distant county city . Three demon monarchs were wreaking havoc and massacring the population .

Liu Qiyue instantly drew her bow in midair and strung three arrows .

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Three flame streams streaked across the sky . Liu Qiyue’s arrows were much faster than before . While shocked, the three distance demon monarchs attempted to dodge . However, all of a sudden, the arrows changed directions unpredictably and penetrated the demon monarchs’ heads .

“They are all third Firmament demon monarchs . However, they are very mediocre . They can’t even dodge my arrows,” said Liu Qiyue via voice transmission . “Next . ”

Swoosh . Meng Chuan grabbed his wife and traveled to their next destination as he sent a voice transmission . “Qiyue, your archery skills have improved greatly after reaching the Realm of Dao . Very few third Firmament demon monarchs can avoid your arrows . ”

The couple worked together .

The nearby county cities were very close to each other . On average, they were only a few dozen kilometers away . Meng Chuan arrived at each city with roughly ten leaps .

Whenever they arrived at a county city, Liu Qiyue shot her arrows! Meng Chuan didn’t need to take action because Liu Qiyue easily killed them .

Huh?

“They have fled?”

“The demon monarchs have retreated?”

Meng Chuan and his wife rescued seven county cities . After killing 23 demon monarchs, they rushed to other county cities . However, the demon monarchs had already retreated .

…

“Demon monarchs in seven counties have been wiped out quickly . It’s suspected that a Regis Godfiend is passing by . He’s extremely fast . Everyone in the surroundings, retreat!”

A white-furred lion demon monarch clearly grasped the situation of all demon monarchs in Wu State . He immediately ordered all demon monarchs in the five surrounding prefectures around Gu Mountain Prefecture to retreat .

…

“The demon monarchs have retreated?” Liu Qiyue discovered that no demon monarchs could be seen in the county city they arrived at .

“We probably killed them too quickly . The demons sensed the danger,” said Meng Chuan . “There wasn’t even a single elite demon monarch among the 23 third Firmament demon monarchs that we killed . It’s odd…”

“A lot of demon monarchs should have entered the human world . They only sent out ordinary third Firmament demon monarchs to attack . The stronger demon monarchs aren’t in a hurry to take action,” said Liu Qiyue .

Meng Chuan frowned and nodded . “It’ll be troublesome in the future . ”

Meng Chuan and his wife continued to investigate the surrounding areas . They discovered that the places which had requested for help were now safe . The couple saved many other county cities because they had killed too many demon monarchs in a short period of time .

“The spots on the Patroller token are disappearing one by one . ” Meng Chuan and his wife stood on the peak of a tall mountain . They watched the spots on their Patroller tokens disappear one by one . Archean Mountain had withdrawn the requests for help . Clearly, the other places were now safe .

Huh? Meng Chuan and his wife’s expressions suddenly changed . A purple spot suddenly appeared on their Patroller tokens .

Normal requests for help were red . A purple spot was of higher priority than red spots . If one appeared, Patrollers had to rescue the area which the purple spot denoted before they could rescue other areas .

“An emergency request for help! It’s 365 kilometers away in Qian State . ” Meng Chuan grabbed his wife’s arm and immediately leaped towards Qian State .

The couple headed west .

Meng Chuan was much faster after reaching the Divine Power realm . The distance of 365 kilometers was nothing to him .

Along the way, they crossed mountains and rivers . The time it took for mortals to run half a kilometer was the same time it took Meng Chuan and his wife to travel over 350 kilometers .

“We’re here . ”

From after—in the wilderness outside a county city—the couple saw four Godfiends fighting six demon monarchs .

“Yan Jin?” Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue were surprised . They recognized Yan Jin at a glance .

Yan Jin had descended from Archean Mountain for several years . This was their first time meeting since he left Archean Mountain .

…

Yan Jin cultivated the Azure Lotus Divine Body—a transcendent-grade Godfiend body—as well as Icefire Seven Absolutes—a Black Metal Sutra . Therefore, his Nine Mystical Caves test was very difficult . However, once he passed the test, it meant that he was strong enough to survive once he descended the mountain . Cultivating Icefire Seven Absolutes required one to merge two different Sword Souls together . This made Yan Jin very strong . In addition, he had been down the mountain for a couple of years, and his strength had increased since then . This time, he was lucky enough to be chosen to join a Godfiend team .

This Godfiend team was established with Chang Anguo as the core . Chang Anguo was 165 years old this year . He cultivated the Indestructible Divine Body—also a transcendent-grade Godfiend body . He had reached the Realm of Dao and had condensed an Essence Soul . In terms of domain strength, he was on par with Zhang Yunfeng . Once he cast his domain, he could slaughter ordinary third Firmament demon monarchs easily! Even demon monarchs with divine powers would have greatly reduced combat strength .

Chang Anguo was the leader, and the other three Godfiends supported him .

This Godfiend team was only slightly inferior to the elite team composed of Meng Chuan, Zhang Yunfeng, and Yang Fang from back then .

These demon monarchs are really cunning . Yan Jin used his two swords to resist the demon monarchs with great difficulty . We chased the demon monarchs across three county cities . I never expected it to be a trap… To think such a powerful demon monarch team appeared .

The demon monarch team before him was extremely powerful . Among the six demon monarchs, there was an extremely powerful elephant demon monarch . This element demon monarch had the strength of a newly-advanced Godfiend! This elephant demon monarch could withstand the four Godfiends alone!

There were also two demon monarchs with divine powers and three elite demon monarchs . The weakest demon monarch was comparable to Yan Jin .

This demon monarch team was stronger than the team composed of Meng Chuan, Zhang Yunfeng, and Yang Fang .

It’s only thanks to Senior Brother Chang casting a forbidden spell that we can barely hold on . However, despite the domain suppressing them, our defense will eventually crack . We can’t hold on much longer .

The four Godfiends struggled to put up a fight even after casting forbidden Godfiend spells . They had many close calls .

“Someone’s coming . ” Chang Anguo sent a voice transmission . “Everyone, hold on! It’s Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue!”

“Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue?” The three other Godfiends, including Yan Jin, felt delighted before panicking .

Could they defeat this demon monarch team if Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue helped them?

“It’s Meng Chuan and his wife . ” The demon monarchs also discovered the two figures rushing over at high velocity . The elephant demon monarch shot a glance at them . “Meng Chuan—who specializes in swift saber—isn’t worth mentioning . Just take note of Liu Qiyue’s arrows . ”

The elephant demon monarch held a huge pillar in his hand and possessed immense strength . Even though Chang Anguo’s domain suppressed his strength, he still attacked wildly .

Yan Jin and Senior Brother Yu’s injuries worsened every time they blocked an attack . Yan Jin could not help but spit out a mouthful of blood as his arms trembled slightly . However, the two Godfiends were adept at close combat . No one else could take up their roles in close combat .

Swish! Swish! Swish!

High in the sky, Liu Qiyue spread her flaming wings high and shot four arrows simultaneously . Her arrows were guaranteed maximum power even when she shot four arrows simultaneously .

Four flaming arrows streaked across the sky .

“Be careful . ” A gray-robed demon monarch was alarmed . After he blinked his four eyes, four golden beams shot out from his eyes to meet the four arrows .

The four flaming arrows drew a magical arc as they dodged the four golden beams . The arrows moved terrifyingly fast as they approached the demon monarchs .

A demoness waved her hands, and countless silk threads flew out . The densely-packed silk managed to obstruct the four flaming arrows . However, the flaming arrows had terrifying strength . They pierced through the silk forcefully, but they were easier to dodge .

Pfft . Only one demon monarch was shot in the arm . The other three arrows missed .

The demon monarch didn’t hesitate to cut off his arm .

“Liu Qiyue’s arrows are much more powerful than expected . Everyone, be careful . ” The gray-robed demon monarch controlled the four golden beams to attack Meng Chuan .

Swoosh .

Meng Chuan used Swallow Stance and transformed into lightning . He charged down like a ghost .

Three of the four golden beams missed . The last golden beam was struck down by Meng Chuan’s saber .

Boom! Meng Chuan landed on the ground and charged towards the demon monarchs .

The instant he landed, a black-green baneful aura spread out in all directions from Meng Chuan’s body . The black-green baneful aura seemed to have a life of its own as six black baneful aura serpents condensed . These six baneful aura serpents avoided the Godfiends and enveloped the demon monarchs .

The six powerful demon monarchs were trapped within the six baneful aura serpents .

“Not good . ”

“Be careful . ”

Immediately, three demon monarchs—including a demon monarch with divine powers—were frozen into ice sculptures . They lost their lives on the spot .

The remaining two demon monarchs felt the baneful aura wreaking havoc on their bodies . A terrifying coldness constantly froze their bodies . This scared them so much that they frantically fled . Only the elephant demon monarch could barely maintain 50 percent of his strength when affected by the baneful aura . However, he was similarly alarmed .

His team had been killed by a terrifying baneful aura domain alone?
