Chapter 453: 453

The attack happened nearly instantly .

In fact, Holy Lady Strings had already tried her best to protect the Black River Guard . The goat demon had been wrapped with threads, and it had done its best to resist the attacks . However, the first Bloodblade pierced the Nine Lives Cocoon threads and struck the Black River Guard’s body, causing his chest to cave in . The second Bloodblade entered the Black River Guard’s body completely . The third Bloodblade shattered his body, struck the Life Casket, and destroyed the life core .

The Life Casket was extremely tough, and it served as protection for the life core .

However, when the Bloodblades struck the Life Casket’s surface, a terrifying force was transmitted, shattering everything inside it .

Just like that, the goat demon Black River Guard died!

When the first Black River Guard was killed, the originally vast 400-kilometer-long black river immediately calmed down . The black chains—which had been suppressing the True Martial domain-dissipated .

Boom!

King True Martial traveled five kilometers in a second . His True Martial domain’s range expanded to five kilometers around him, instantly enveloping Monarch Peacock-who had been laying siege more than five kilometers away .

“Demon Monarch Peacock . ” King True Martial smiled as he charged forward, wanting to engage in close combat . “Damn it . ” Monarch Peacock’s purple eyes were filled with anger as he glanced at the distant Black River Guard . Bloodblades struck the five terrified Black River Guard members at the same time . Their bodies exploded as the vast black river began to dissipate . The Bloodblades continued to pursue the other members of the Black River Guard .

The Eighteen Black River Guard is finished . Monarch Peacock understood this point . He stared at King True Martial—who was charging towards him—and sneered coldly . He held his spear and charged towards King True Martial .

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Monarch Peacock and King True Martial clashed .

On the other side, Holy Lady Strings’s expression was gloomy . Patriarch Poison Dragon shook his head slightly . “The Eighteen Black River Guard is finished . ”

“It was King Eastcalm,” said Holy Lady Strings coldly . She was able to guess the murderer’s identity when the Bloodblades appeared .

Patriarch Poison Dragon frowned . “King Eastcalm, Meng Chuan? Again?”

King Eastcalm, Meng Chuan, had obstructed the demons too many times in this war .

“Holy Lady Strings, save me . ”

“Help!”

“Save me!”

The members of the Black River Guard were filled with despair . They were originally fifth Firmament demon monarchs that reigned supreme in a particular region . Under the Imperial Lord’s orders, they willingly transformed into the Black River Guard . They didn’t have hope of becoming demon sages . After becoming part of the Black River Guard, their strength increased greatly . In the future, their status in the Demon Realm would also increase greatly . It wasn’t a bad option .

However, although they had accomplished something in their first battle, who would have thought that they would immediately encounter a life-and-death crisis?

This terrifying Godfiend hid in the deep void, preventing the Black River Array Formation from affecting him . Eighteen Bloodblades appeared in front of them, making it impossible for them to dodge! Every Bloodblade was terrifyingly powerful . Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

Meng Chuan watched as his Bloodblades pursued the Black River Guards .

The attacks were split into two waves .

In the first wave, he killed one Black River Guard . This greatly reduced the Black River Array Formation’s strength, making it unable to pose a threat to the Godfiends any longer .

In the second wave, three Bloodblades attacked another Black River Guard and pursued them . The Bloodblades’ movements were unpredictable and terrifying . The Nine Lives Cocoon threads couldn’t intercept them even at close range .

Black River Guards exploded one after another! They were horrified and in despair . The Bloodblades were too fast; they couldn’t escape at all .

“Everyone, gather towards me,” said Holy Lady Strings via voice transmission . Numerous Nine Lives Cocoon threads gathered to protect the five Black River Guards that were closest to her .

“Alright . ” The remaining Black River Guards struggled to gather . Swoosh .

Bloodblades came from the deep void and appeared inside the Nine Lives Cocoon threads’ protective range . They attacked the five Black River Guards inside the protective barrier .

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

This scene made Holy Lady Strings shake her head slightly .

“Cang Jue, I can only save you,” said Holy Lady Strings via voice transmission . A large number of Nine Lives Cocoon threads wrapped around Demon Monarch Cang Jue’s body, forming a robe . The robe protected his head, and Demon Monarch Cang Jue immediately flew towards Holy Lady Strings at full speed . Another boom sounded, and an ox demon Black River Guard was killed . There was only one remaining Black River Guard-Demon Monarch Cang Jue .

The Bloodblades spun as they struck him . Demon Monarch Cane Jue was sent flying from the impact, but the robe protecting him was extremely tough . The robe was the perfect manifestation of Holy Lady Strings’s technique realm .

The 18 Bloodblades struck Cang Jue one after another . Although each Bloodblade was extremely strong, the robe withstood all the attacks .

The dark-cyan-robed Meng Chuan finally appeared .

Meng Chuan looked at Demon Monarch Cang Jue—who was protected by the Nine Lives Cocoon threads . There’s still one left . He then looked at Holy Lady Strings . “Do you think you can protect it?”

“Don’t even think of injuring it!” Holy Lady Strings flew over at high speed .

Hum .

An invisible Astral Wave swept over, affecting Demon Monarch Cang Jue’s Essence Soul .

“I-I…” Demon Monarch Cang Jue staggered as his consciousness began to blur .

The Eighteen Black River Guard consisted of ordinary fifth Firmament demon monarchs . Their Essence Souls were generally weak . Demon Monarch Cang Jue only had a fourth-level Essence Soul! Even with a Life Casket protecting him, his consciousness turned groggy under the Astral Wave . “It’s a pity that your Essence Soul is too weak,” said Meng Chuan coldly . A Magic Awl flew out and drilled into Demon Monarch Cang Jue’s body .

Cang Jue’s body trembled before he fell silent .

All members of the Eighteen Black River Guard died .

Holy Lady Strings stopped moving and stared at the distant Meng Chuan .

Meng Chuan glanced at her and took a step forward . He arrived beside King Molten, King Thousand Wood, and the other Godfiendswho were dozens of kilometers away . “The Eighteen Black River Guard has been wiped out . When they join forces, they become one . Due to this, their Essence Soul defenses will be greatly enhanced . ” Patriarch Poison Dragon appeared by Holy Lady Strings’s side and shook his head . “If there’s only one Black River Guard left, even if it’s a special lifeform, a fourth-level Essence Soul can’t withstand King Eastcalm’s Magic Awl . ”

“It’s King Eastcalm again . ” Holy Lady Strings looked at the distant Godfiends . She felt very angry because she failed to protect the Eighteen Black River Guard .

Most importantly,

King Eastcalm Meng Chuan was responsible for the kills again! Her bosom friend, Demon Monarch Quicksand, and many other demon monarchs had died at Meng Chuan’s hands .

“You stayed idle on the side and watched them die?” Holy Lady Strings looked at Patriarch Poison Dragon .

Patriarch Poison Dragon chuckled . “Apart from watching, what else can I do? I can’t withstand those Bloodblades at all . I wanted to pull the Black River Guards into a small Grotto-Heaven, but the Bloodblades tore through the void . The void was so unstable that there was no way for me to pull them in . With my strength, I could only watch everything happen . As for you, Strings… didn’t you fail to save a single one after all the work you put in?”

Given his undying body, Patriarch Poison Dragon calmly taunted Holy Lady Strings . “We lost terribly this time,” said Holy Lady Strings coldly . “Although we killed two Regis Godfiends, we lost the Eighteen Black River Guard and Demon Monarch Coldmoon . Our losses are even greater in this battle . ” “The three of us won’t be able to win . King True Martial’s domain is powerful . Meng Chuan can appear anywhere now . His attacks are also extremely powerful,” said Patriarch Poison Dragon . “Let’s return and report to the Imperial Lords . Let them decide what will happen next . ”

Patriarch Poison Dragon looked into the distance . “That lunatic Peacock is still fighting . ”

Bang!!!

With a boom, a beam of light flew towards Patriarch Poison Dragon and Holy Lady Strings .

“Peacock,” greeted Patriarch Poison Dragon with a smile .

“I clearly suppress him, but I can’t defeat him . ” Monarch Peacock was extremely furious . “Let’s go back to the Demon Realm . ” With Monarch Peacock leading the way, Patriarch Poison Dragon followed . Holy Lady Strings remained silent, but she also flew away with them .

The human Godfiends watched from afar and didn’t stop them from retreating .
