Meng Chuan streaked across the sky. He landed on a tree, using it as a platform to leap towards the city wall. As he was heading towards the city wall, Meng Chuan saw that the 30,000 demons had yet to retreat!
Even though the commanders and a number of lieutenant commanders were dead, the demon army had yet to attack! Whether they attacked or retreated depended on the demon monarchs’ orders.
“The demon monarchs haven’t given any orders. We cannot retreat!”
“Retreating without permission will mean death once we return to the Demon Realm!”
“When the demon monarchs kill the Godfiends, we will wipe out Green Mountain Prefecture City!”
Although the demons were somewhat uneasy, nobody dared to retreat. According to their rules, if the demon monarchs fled, they would order the demon army to retreat! Unbeknownst to them, the demon monarchs were all dead. No demon monarchs were left alive to give the demon army any orders!
If a Marquis Godfiend had rushed over to provide relief, the demon monarchs would’ve been frightened out of their wits when they sensed the Godfiend aura coming from afar! Marquis Godfiends were slower than Meng Chuan, so one or two demon monarchs could escape if they split up and fled.
However, they only saw Meng Chuan as a Great Solar Godfiend. They held some confidence in fighting against him. After all, five second Firmament demon monarchs were cooperating with an elite third Firmament demon monarch! Due to their confidence, they realized the disparity in strength too late.
Thankfully they haven’t attacked. Meng Chuan heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that the 30,000-strong demon army had yet to attack the city.
He had been afraid that the demon army would attack Green Mountain Prefecture City while he was fighting the demon monarchs. This would definitely result in human casualties. This was why he had killed the commanders and some lieutenant commanders.
It’s too late to escape now. Meng Chuan stared at the demon army with no pity whatsoever.
Swoosh!
A bolt of lightning streaked across the sky and landed in the middle of the demon army outside the city.
“It’s that Godfiend!” The demons were horrified.
Lightning erupted from Meng Chuan’s body. A thick, black baneful aura spread in all directions, covering a thousand feet.
The baneful aura thinned after covering such a huge area. However, the mortal demons froze into ice sculptures once the baneful aura touched them! His baneful aura was much more terrifying Demon Monarch Poison Pool’s poisonous fog.
Swoosh.
Wherever the baneful aura passed, a large number of demons would freeze to death, forever to be ice sculptures.
“Run!”
“Run!”
The demons no longer cared about military discipline. In the face of death, they frantically fled in all directions.
But Meng Chuan was too fast! He instantly arrived at the demon army’s rear. In just a few seconds, he passed through the demon army seven times! Every time he did so, everything with a thousand feet froze.
“This...”
“The demons have all been frozen.”
“Amazing.”
The soldiers—who were on the city wall—were shocked by the scene before them. In just a few seconds, over 90 percent of the 30,000-strong demon army was frozen to death.
Meng Chuan turned into a bolt of lightning as he circled and cornered the demons—that were better at escaping—before freezing them to death.
The hundred or so flying demons that attempted to escape were unable to escape from Meng Chuan’s perception. They either froze or were struck by lightning.
In ten seconds, the 30,000-strong demon army was completely wiped out! None of them managed to escape.
“Godfiend! Godfiend!” Shock ran through the soldiers on the city walls as they cheered excitedly.
This was the strength of a human Godfiend! The demon army had been slaughtered within a few seconds.
Swoosh.
After wiping out the demon army, Meng Chuan looked to the north. The demons had swarmed over from the north. This meant that the World Entrance was located north of Green Mountain Prefecture City.
Hence, he went to investigate the north.
The demon army had left devastation in its wake, so it was easy to follow their tracks.
Found it. Meng Chuan saw the distorted World Entrance that was 1000 feet long. Countless footprints could be seen around it.
Whoosh. Meng Chuan retracted his aura and silently landed on a tree not far from the barren mountain. He sat on a branch and watched silently.
Wiping out the invading demons didn’t mean that it was over.
He had to confirm no more demons were coming out of the World Entrance! He could only return to North River Pass after people from Archean Mountain came to take his place.
...
“Your Majesty, I saw it clearly. The 30,000-strong demon army fled in terror outside Green Mountain Prefecture City, but all of them were turned to ice sculptures. None of them escaped.” The black-robed figure, Pangoswim, knelt respectfully and reported to Greater Demon Monarch Avaricehell.
“They weren’t able to escape?” Avaricehell frowned slightly as the other demon monarchs around him fell into a commotion.
“Thirty thousand demons couldn’t escape despite scattering in all directions?”
“Some of them can fly while others can burrow in the ground. Yet, they couldn’t escape?”
The demon monarchs found it unbelievable.
“I saw everything clearly. Even in the darkness, I saw a palm-sized object from a kilometer away,” Pangoswim immediately shouted. “Green Mountain Prefecture City’s northern gates were lit up by torches. The 30,000-strong demon army was very eye-catching as they were illuminated by light. I saw everything clearly while standing on the barren mountain. All the demons were frozen to death! None of them escaped! I was so frightened that I immediately retreated.”
“Oh?” Avaricehell placed his black palm on the armrest. He calmly said, “To prevent 30,000 demons from escaping, it must be a Marquis Godfiend that has a domain. To appear just after the attack, the Marquis Godfiend must be one of the roaming Godfiends. He happened to be near Green Mountain Prefecture City. Forget it. Count themselves lucky.”
He did not mind losing some of his subordinates. Knowing that there were powerful Godfiends in the area, he naturally wouldn’t send his subordinates to their deaths.
...
By Crescent Lake, the demon monarchs’ corpses were piled to the side. Many soldiers had rushed over and were shocked upon seeing the demon monarchs’ corpses.
“An Archean Mountain Godfiend happened to pass by our Green Mountain Prefecture and saved us,” said Wang Fucheng with a smile. “Since the demons have been killed, pass the order. The city is to return to normal. Have everyone exit the tunnels.”
“Yes,” the soldiers replied in a loud voice. They relayed his orders excitedly.
Wang Fucheng looked at Hu Xiao. “Brother Hu Xiao, watch over the demon monarchs’ corpses. Archean Mountain will send someone over tonight. We will hand the corpses over to them when the time comes.”
“Yes.” Hu Xiao nodded. He looked at his severed arm and sighed. “I have to head to Archean Mountain so I can heal my arm.”
There were some powerful Godfiends that could provide treatment for severe injuries.
For example, even Qian Yu could recover from his severe injuries. Only his destroyed dantian couldn’t be recovered. All his physical injuries were completely healed.
“Haha, Archean Mountain can regenerate your severed arm in a day. Alright, I’ll be going to Senior Brother Meng first,” said Wang Fucheng with a smile. Following that, he transformed into a stream of light and headed towards the northern city wall.
Moments later, Wang Fucheng saw the silver-white ice sculptures outside the city! The 30,000 ice sculptures were a shocking sight. It was clearly summer, but the ice sculptures were bone-chilling.
Wang Fucheng stared at the demon ice sculptures with shock. Senior Brother Meng is really amazing. His strength should be close to that of a Marquis Godfiend, right?
