Even though he was in a dire situation, Meng Chuan didn’t give up. He did his best to advance, moving towards a narrow and remote area. Demon Monarch Poison Pool had a massive 30-foot tall body, so Meng Chuan hoped that these narrow spaces would be able to affect him a little.
Whoosh.
However, Poison Pool was like a gust of wind. He stepped on the roof tiles and tree branches and rapidly pursued him. He was getting closer and closer until the gap between them was only 100 feet.
Meng Chuan could “see” the other party’s iridescent green skin and his excited gray eyes.
How do I escape? Where do I go? Meng Chuan despaired.
Boom!
Suddenly—within a half a kilometer of Meng Chuan—a terrifying aura pierced through the sky from the north. It was so fast that even Meng Chuan could only vaguely make it out. It was a short lance with a blood-colored aura. The spear tore through the air, causing the air to explode around it. In a blink of an eye, it traversed half a kilometer and headed straight for Demon Monarch Poison Pool.
“Oh?” Poison Pool was alarmed. The terrifying short lance made him feel threatened. Not confident of his protective black fog being able to block it, he waved his long spear.
Clang!
He blocked the short lance.
“You are tempting fate, Demon Monarch!” An angry bellow rang out through the heavens like a thunder god roaring! A figure—whose entire body was surrounded by a sanguine aura—rushed over as a second short lance was thrown.
Boom! Boom!
One short lance after another shot out as the figure’s killing intent raged. Poison Pool blocked the attacks, giving Meng Chuan an opportunity to escape.
That is? Meng Chuan dazedly stared at the figure charging towards the demon monarch. The figure’s aura was very powerful, but fundamentally, it was identical to his father’s aura. However, it was dozens-fold more violent; the killing intent reached a terrifying level.
The same aura signature as his father... Meng Chuan vaguely saw the person within the sanguine aura. It was his father—who was 15 kilograms lighter. He was no longer fat, but rather muscular.
Ever since he was six years old, his father had slowly gained weight. He recognized his father at a glance.
Is that Father? Meng Chuan was a little confused.
Was he the same chubby father who laughed jovially every day? Was he the same father who had taught him saber arts since he was young, but had lost to him in every duel ever since he reached the Seamless realm?
He had always believed that his father was only a Seamless realm expert—who had comprehended Force—that hadn’t succeeded in condensing a core.
No...
His grandaunt had used the entire family’s savings to exchange for a drop of Godfiend Jade Marrow Liquid. As for his father, he had produced two treasures—the Iceheart Fruit and Astral Spirit Herb. Back then, he had realized that his father had a great secret, but he had never imagined that his father would be a Godfiend.
“Haha, there really was a Godfiend in hiding.” Poison Pool laughed hoarsely. “You are actually a Body Tempering Godfiend. The Body Tempering Godfiend lineage of you humans is extremely crude and incomplete. The Great Solar realm is the pinnacle, isn’t it?”
“It’s more than enough to kill you.” Meng Dajiang’s killing intent surged as he drew his saber and instantly slashed at Poison Pool.
“Do you think you—a newly advanced Godfiend—has what it takes?” Poison Pool snickered. Two black serpents formed from the black fog instantly swirled towards Meng Dajiang.
Whenever the black fog serpents wrapped around Meng Dajiang, they were weakened by 90% due to the sanguine aura. The other effects it had on Meng Dajiang’s body were miniscule. Body Tempering Godfiends didn’t cultivate their Quintessential Essence and focused on their bodies. It was easy for them to resist the tiny portion of poisonous gas.
A Body Tempering Godfiend is quite special. Venomous Pool frowned slightly as he charged forward with his spear. With a wave of his spear, he caused some of the nearby buildings to collapse. The terrifying spear stabbed straight at Meng Dajiang.
“Demon monarch, die.” Meng Dajiang’s eyes were bloodshot. He had long used a forbidden Godfiend spell, and he was in a state of madness. His saber beam flew towards Poison Pool.
Almost... He had almost lost his son to this demon monarch!
When the demons invaded, he and Liu Yebai had gone to the city’s northern region to check out available missions. When they suddenly heard the Jadesun Palace’s alarm, they were shocked and immediately split up.
Liu Yebai proceeded in one direction—the Blazing Sun Dao Academy, and he would pass by other Dao Academies and family clans.
Meng Dajiang went another direction. He passed by the Meng family ancestral mansion and Mirror Lake Meng Manor.
Wherever the two went, they would kill the demon commanders they met! However, both of them were newly-advanced Godfiends. Without using forbidden spells, their speed was only on par with Meng Chuan’s. As for Meng Chuan, he had rushed to Blazing Sun Dao Academy immediately, so he was faster than Liu Yebai.
Later on, Meng Chuan was pursued by Poison Pool. This pursuit brought them several kilometers away in a blink of an eye. The commotion they had produced was quite loud, and it caught Meng Dajiang’s attention.
He cast a forbidden spell and threw his short lance from far away to save his son.
Finally, he saved his son!
However, the fact that his son was almost killed filled Meng Dajiang with rage. He madly swung his saber down with all his might, forming a wave of saber beams.
“You dare fight me? You truly have a death wish.” Poison Pool had the confidence to face a newly-promoted Godfiend and struck out with his spear.
A newly-advanced Body Tempering Godfiend and a second Firmament demon monarch clashed head-on.
Boom!
It was as if the world was collapsing.
Meng Chuan stopped his forbidden Godfiend spell and stood far away. Although his body ached and his meridians were in pain, he still watched the fight nervously. His father and the demon monarch were engaged in battle. Every time the two clashed, the collision’s aftershock was terrifying. Any of his father’s strikes were far more powerful than his Lightning Ultimate Saber Drawing Stance. In the blink of an eye, his father had formed 100 saber beams as he furiously swung his saber.
His father also cultivated the swift saber. Meng Chuan’s talent in the swift saber might have been inherited from his father. It was just that people said that the fastest saber user in Eastcalm Prefecture was the dean of Mirror Lake Dao Academy, Ge Yu. But now, even Meng Chuan had surpassed him.
However, after seeing his father’s swift saber today, he realized how scary his father was. This was a true Godfiend. Godfiends were powerful in all aspects. His speed and strength were incredibly high, and his endurance in battle was terrifying. And his father was only a newly-advanced Godfiend.
...
A blurry figure came to Blazing Sun Dao Academy. It was Liu Yebai.
Qiyue. The color in Liu Yebai’s face drained when he saw the blood and corpses strewn all over the Dao Academy. Am I too late?
He rushed towards Blazing Sun Castle.
Swoosh.
He quickly entered Blazing Sun Castle through a window.
“You are?” A soldier—who was resting by the window—was bandaging his companion’s wound. He was shocked to see a man in black appear.
“Qiyue.” Liu Yebai immediately saw the pale Liu Qiyue leaning against a wall. He rushed over excitedly. Many people in the castle were resting or recuperating. All of them saw Liu Yebai rushing over.
“Dad?” Liu Qiyue shouted in surprise.
“Brother Liu.” Dean Zhong nodded. Many of them knew Liu Yebai. After all, he was an expert who had comprehended Force. He had high standing amongst Eastcalm Prefecture’s mortals.
Liu Yebai held his daughter’s hand and carefully inspected her. He frowned and said, “You used a forbidden Godfiend spell? You have to rest for the next month. Don’t use your Quintessential Energy or practice archery at all.”
“Yes.” Liu Qiyue nodded.
“Brother Liu,” said Dean Zhong immediately. “Just now, your daughter—Liu Qiyue—awakened the Phoenix Divine Body bloodline during the demons’ invasion.”
“Phoenix Divine Body bloodline?” Liu Yebai was taken aback. He was both surprised and conflicted.
“Dad, Dad,” Liu Qiyue said anxiously. “Ah Chuan saved Blazing Sun Dao Academy just now. However, a demon monarch that emitted black fog came for us. Ah Chuan lured the demon monarch away. We have to think of a way to save Ah Chuan.”
“A demon monarch is chasing after Meng Chuan?” Liu Yebai’s expression changed. “Which direction did they go?”
“In that direction.” Liu Qiyue pointed outside.
“Remember, release the distress flare immediately if you encounter danger,” said Liu Yebai seriously before rushing out the window.
“Dad, that’s a demon monarch. Don’t be rash.” Liu Qiyue panicked as well.
“Don’t worry. Father doesn’t plan on dying.” Liu Yebai’s voice rang in his daughter’s ears. He was already rapidly flying away.
...
Boom!
Meng Dajiang flew backward and crashed into a destroyed restaurant. Blood trickled down the corner of his lips.
“As expected of a Body Tempering Godfiend. Your body is strong. You can even withstand my blows after all this time.” Poison Pool laughed coldly, but in his heart, he felt rather bitter.
He wanted to kill this new Godfiend in one go, which was why he had been maintaining his forbidden spell. He had used it for fifteen seconds, which was considered quite long. If he continued, the damage would worsen.
However, this newly-advanced, Godfiend was a Body Tempering Godfiend. They were known for their exceptionally strong vitality. Killing a Body Tempering Godfiend was even more difficult than killing three ordinary Godfiends. However, the path of one was destined to be bleak. The Body Tempering system stopped out at the Great Solar realm.
“Oh?” Poison Pool’s expression suddenly changed as he looked into the distance.
A terrifying aura came bursting over. It was the phantom-like Liu Yebai.
“You’re finally here.” Meng Dajiang laughed loudly. “Quick, join forces with me to kill this demon monarch.”
“Hahaha, to think you need my help.” Liu Yebai laughed loudly as he instantly unsheathed his sword and leaped at Poison Pool. “Let’s kill this demon monarch together!”
