Chapter 143: Retreat!

Meng Chuan and company were attacked by the demon monarchs, but their defense was impregnable.

General Zhang Yunhu—who was protected inside—could freely throw his short spears. Another short spear transformed into a golden beam as it shot out. Just 100 feet away, an ordinary third Firmament demon monarch was unable to dodge the spear. With its head penetrated, it immediately collapsed.

“Leader, we can’t continue like this.” When a buffalo demon monarch saw this, he sent a voice transmission. “We tried attacking Meng Chuan, but we couldn’t break his defense! Zhang Yunhu can release his short spears without any worries. Five third Firmament demon monarchs dead. We can’t allow Zhang Yunhu to continue attacking us so freely.”

The black-robed demoness stared coldly at the battlefield as she considered the situation. Her plan had failed. She originally believed that no matter how fast Meng Chuan was, it would be difficult for him to block the attacks from a group of demon monarchs completely. Furthermore, he was a rookie who had no experience on the battlefield. It should’ve been easy for them to break through his defenses. If she could kill this human genius who had a perfected Lightning Devastator Fiend Body, she would earn plenty of credit!

However, things developed differently from what she had expected.

Her plan wasn’t bad. She just didn’t know that Meng Chuan’s Essence Soul had already reached the second level. His perception domain spanned 200 feet, and there was nothing that could escape his senses within that range. Meng Chuan was also stronger than she had expected. He could fuse the Power of Essence Soul into his body at any time.

“Change targets and attack Shi Xiu,” ordered the black-robed demoness via voice transmission.

“Okay.” All the demon monarchs’ morale revitalized.

They had long given up on attacking Meng Chuan, and they could only attack other human Godfiends after being given the order. The demons followed strict rules. If they violated the order, death was a certainty.

“This Meng Chuan’s movement technique is too strange. He puts up a powerful defense. We can’t even break it. However, Shi Xiu is much weaker.” These demon monarchs were filled with confidence. The other human Godfiends were old opponents.

In terms of close combat, among their past opponents, Zhang Yunhu was the strongest! Next was the dual-sword-wielding female Godfiend, Mu Qing. The last was Sanguine Godfiend, Shi Xiu.

In terms of defense, Fan Cheng was the strongest!

However, they discovered that Meng Chuan’s defense was in no way inferior to Fan Cheng’s after the battle had barely started.

Boom!

Tentacles and sharp vines drilled out from underground as they attacked Shi Xiu.

One demon monarch after another came close!

“Shi Xiu, be careful.”

Everyone was shocked. It was too sudden! Although Meng Chuan and the others stood in separate positions, they were still close to one another. The demon monarchs had been attacking Meng Chuan wildly, but now most of them had directed their attacks at Shi Xiu! The three demon monarch elites were part of this endeavor. Shi Xiu instantly faced a dire situation.

Clang. Zhang Yunhu immediately charged forward. The two short spears in his hands immediately blocked the demon monarchs’ relentless attacks. The spears turned into golden blurs. With a series of moves, Zhang Yunhu was able to block over half of the attacks directed at Shi Xiu by himself. Only then did Shi Xiu block the remaining attacks. It prevented the demon monarchs from threatening Yang Xingwu and company.

With Zhang Yunhu’s help, Shi Xiu could easily withstand the crazy attacks. However, Zhang Yunhu was unable to divert his attention to kill the enemies.

They have underestimated me. Meng Chuan’s eyes flashed coldly. He had originally been surrounded by a large group of demon monarchs, but now, only five demon monarchs were attacking him. They are all ordinary third Firmament demon monarchs? Not even a demon monarch elite?

Dragon Roar Stance!

Meng Chuan did not hesitate to attack.

Meng Chuan seemingly split into five. Each figure stabbed out with a blinding beam that resembled lightning. They pierced through the void, bringing with it a strange spinning trajectory. The saber beams produced ear-piercing screeches. The saber beams were like dragons rushing out from the water. The five third Firmament demon monarchs only saw a blinding flash before the saber beams appeared in front of them.

It was too fast! Even the void distorted, and the distance was warped.

The five demon monarchs had no time to dodge.

Pu! Pu! Pu! Pu! Pu!

Every demon monarch’s glabella was pierced and the saber beams exited their skulls. A demon monarch could hold out for a little longer after their hearts were destroyed, but having their heads penetrated meant certain death.

One demon monarch after another collapsed.

This made the demon monarchs that were excited to attack Shi Xiu freeze. Following that, their hearts turned cold!

Five third Firmament demon monarchs died in a single exchange?

“His kills were way too fast! Zhang Yunhu’s attacks aren’t even that fast, right?”

“A perfected Lightning Devastator Fiend Body is as fast as lightning. It’s truly fast.”

“Too fast.”

The ordinary third Firmament demon monarchs shuddered.

With a perfected transcendent-grade Godfiend body, Meng Chuan’s strength and Quintessential Essence were enough to crush these demon monarchs completely! His saber realm didn’t need mentioning. Only the demon monarch elites could fight him. Furthermore, he had an Essence Soul domain. He could perfectly grasp the situation on the battlefield! He did not even need to use the Power of Essence Soul to counterattack.

The five ordinary third Firmament demon monarchs weren’t worthy of him using the Power of Essence Soul.

“Awesome.” Zhang Yunhu—who had been forced to defend—as well as Shi Xiu, Yu Chiyan, and the others were overjoyed.

However, the demon monarchs’ side was the complete opposite. They were somewhat flustered.

“This Meng Chuan’s defense is powerful, but his offense is even more terrifying.”

“His saber is too fast. It’s so fast that it’s difficult to defend against it.”

“According to the intelligence, a Great Solar Godfiend with a perfected Lightning Devastator Fiend Body can match a fifth Firmament demon monarch’s speed! His attacks are also extremely fast.”

“It’s best we don’t engage in close combat with him. Even if we engage in close combat, we will need to surround him with ten-plus demon monarchs like before. It will give him enough pressure.”

The demon monarchs discussed through voice transmissions, and their attacks slowed down.

“Leader, ten third Firmament demon monarchs have died. What should we do?” asked an ox demon monarch. He was the second-in-command, and his background wasn’t much weaker than the leader’s. He was just slightly weaker.

According to past experience, although there weren’t any demon monarch elites that had died, losing ten was still considered a large loss.

“This Meng Chuan...” The black-robed demoness had a headache.

Attack Meng Chuan? They couldn’t break his defense. This allowed Zhang Yunhu to throw his terrifying short spears. Give up on him? Meng Chuan would counterattack! Meng Chuan attacked as fast as lightning, and his speed at killing weaker demon monarchs was higher than Zhang Yunhu’s!

They couldn’t attack or give up on him!

“Retreat!” ordered the black-robed demoness immediately via voice transmission. “Pass down the orders. Retreat.”

At the critical moment, retreating minimized their losses.

“Okay.” All the third Firmament demon monarchs immediately bunched up and stopped attacking. Instead, they hid inside the stacked domains.

A low beast horn sounded.

The second Firmament demon monarchs who were fighting the human Godfiends on the wall were taken aback. Following that, they jumped down the city wall without any hesitation. Even though Liu Qiyue’s arrows landed one after another, the demon monarchs continued running towards the World Entrance.

The demons—that had been trying to climb up the city wall—immediately receded like a flood, wildly charging towards the World Entrance.

All of them were retreating!

On the other hand, the demons that were at the outer city wall were in despair. They were unable to retreat and could only crazily charge forward. They wanted to rush out of the city gates as soon as possible and obtain complete freedom.

“The demons have retreated.” Zhang Yunhu smiled. Everyone felt relieved.

“Junior Brother Meng, well done!” Shi Xiu praised.

“Alright, don’t be too happy. Continue holding these third Firmament demon monarchs back. We must be careful that it’s not a trick. They might suddenly attack the city wall,” instructed Zhang Yunhu.

...

The demon monarchs did not try pulling off any tricks. Perhaps they knew that it was useless in front of an experienced general like Zhang Yunhu.

Soon, the second Firmament demon monarchs—who were alive—returned to the Demon Realm via the World Entrance. Many mortal demons were fleeing. Following that, 15 third Firmament demon monarchs fled into the World Entrance. Finally, 35 more demon monarchs, including the black-robed demoness, entered the World Entrance.

Boom!

All the demons that were unable to escape from the human world were slaughtered by the human Godfiends.

Only a small number of demons would be imprisoned. In the future, they would be used as sparring partners for the human soldiers and youths. The other demons were killed without mercy.

... historical

The demon monarchs returned to the Demon Realm. An hour later, North River Pass completely calmed down. Out in the wilderness, soldiers chased after the demons that had managed to escape North River Pass.
