Chapter 289 - Matching the Fifth Firmament

Chu An City.

Greater Demon Monarch Serpentwing stood there in midair, staring coldly at his surroundings.

A nine-headed lion demon monarch let out an excited roar. It caused the void to quake as it spread out in all directions. The surrounding buildings constantly collapsed, and many mortals died from the shock. Only a few managed to survive as they wailed.

“These humans are truly weak.” A black-robed demoness stood still as countless white spider webs tore through the area, slaughtering everything in her path.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

A goat demon monarch wielded two gigantic scimitars. Each 1,000-foot-wide saber beam sliced through buildings, trees, humans, and everything else that blocked its path.

There was also a beautiful woman dressed in purple robes. Her body emitted a floral fragrance as she looked around with a smile.

Apart from the five who appeared, there was an old dragon turtle hidden ten feet deep underground. The old dragon turtle constantly probed a 2.5-kilometer area around him.

With Second Brother around, our team is considered one of the strongest among the many demon monarch teams. The nine-headed lion demon monarch grinned. He was also a descendant of a demon sage and had the combat strength of a peak fourth Firmament demon monarch. However, he still flattered Greater Demon Monarch Serpentwing, who was extremely famous among the demons. Although Serpentwing was only a fourth Firmament demon monarch, his strength was comparable to an ordinary fifth Firmament demon monarch. He just hadn’t broken through yet because of his age. He was the undisputed leader of this team.

Serpentwing coldly watched the others attack the city as he stayed floating above the city. He was very confident of his strength. In one-on-one combat, he could match an ordinary fifth Firmament demon monarch. He also had five strong teammates that cooperated well with him!

The Imperial Lord assigned me a pretty good team. When the other five cooperate with me, we are capable of suppressing newly-advanced Regis Godfiends. Among all the fourth Firmament demon monarch teams, my team is in the top ten.

Just as these demon monarchs were extremely confident…

Swoosh.

A figure suddenly appeared.

“What?” The six demon monarchs were shocked, including the old dragon turtle underground. Without any warning, Meng Chuan appeared in front of them. Clang! Clang! Clang!

The clanging of the Soul-Buster Bell naturally could not be heard by one’s ears. The bell clangs affected the demon monarchs’ Essence Souls.

“Ahhh!” The goat demon monarch, who held two gigantic scimitars, staggered backward. He began to lose basic control over his body and could not stand firmly. He was the only one with a first-level Essence Soul.

The Imperial Lords had assigned strong, skilled teammates to Serpentwing.

“Fix.” Golden light emanated from the purple-robed woman’s glabella as she emitted the fragrance of flowers. It spread across her teammates’ bodies, making the nine-headed lion demon monarch, black-robed demoness, and old dragon turtle more lucid. However, the goat demon monarch remained in excruciating pain.

Greater Demon Monarch Serpentwing only frowned slightly when he was struck by the Soul-Buster Bell’s attack because he had long reached the Dharma Domain realm and a third-level essence Soul. After receiving the help of Demon Monarch Flower’s divine power, he was no longer affected by the Soul-Buster Bell’s attack.

“Marquis Eastcalm-Meng Chuan?” Upon seeing the human youth, Serpentwing’s eyes lit up. “The person stationed in Chu An City is Marquis Eastcalm?” “He’s a Marquis Godfiend. He can be killed.”

“Attack.”

The nine-headed lion demon monarch charged forward in excitement. The black-robed demoness released white spider threads that attacked Meng Chuan. A portion of the old dragon turtle’s body appeared from the ground and mist began to cloud the 2.5-kilometer area around it.

“Marquis Eastcalm, a young junior.” Serpentwing instantly moved. He was filled with confidence. From his point of view, he should be able to wipe out the human Marquis Godfiend with his teammates. Meng Chuan was rather famous, but he didn’t have much time to cultivate.

Just as they were about to attack, they were suddenly stunned,

Pfft.

A dark-red saber penetrated the goat demon monarch’s head. Meng Chuan held the evil dark-red saber and stood in front of him.

Chi! Chi! Chi! The goat demon monarch’s massive body immediately dissipated into dust. In the past, Demon Slayer took some time to devour a person’s lifeblood, but now, the fourth Firmament demon monarch’s body completely disintegrated after his body was penetrated.

The goat demon monarch was dead!

“The goat demon’s Essence Soul is too weak. There’s no need to worry.” Serpentwing sent a voice transmission to his teammates. Just as he sent the voice transmission, his expression changed. Meng Chuan instantly appeared in front of him as the surrounding void distorted.

He was too fast.

Clang! Serpentwing instantly brandished his two stingers, stirring the void and sealing the surroundings. He blocked Meng Chuan’s terrifying saber successfully. After all, he was at the Dharma Domain realm. His technique realm was extremely high. I blocked it. Serpentwing felt a lingering fear. Meng Chuan’s attack was too fast. Even he felt fortunate that he was able to block the attack.

Huh? Serpentwing’s pupils suddenly constricted. As he blocked the saber strike, a dark-cyan fog emanated from Meng Chuan’s saber; it naturally reached him.

The fog flew too quickly, and the distance between them was too close. There was no time for him to dodge before it came into contact with his body.

“This…” An inconceivable chill seeped into his body through his scales. Serpentwing felt as though his consciousness was about to be frozen. Not good!

His Essence Soul instantly cast a divine power, and demonic patterns surfaced on his scales. He tried his best to withstand the frost baneful aura, but his body was still covered in frost eventually.

It managed to block my saber. My baneful aura also failed to freeze it to death instantly. This demon monarch is quite powerful. Such thoughts flashed through Meng Chuan’s mind, but he didn’t stop attacking.

As Serpentwing struggled to resist the baneful aura, he sensed a saber heading towards him. It was still terrifyingly fast. This time, after being frozen, Serpentwing was no longer able to block Meng Chuan’s terrifying saber attack.

Pfft.

Demon Slayer was incomparably sharp. His tough scales and tough skull were unable to block it. Demon Slayer pierced straight through Serpentwing’s head like tofu. Even after his head was penetrated, Serpentwing remained alive and lucid. After cultivating his body to its current state, his head was no longer a vital point. Even if his head was chopped off, he could continue fighting.

But this time…

Chi! Chi! Chi!

Serpentwing’s eyes widened as his dense lifeblood surged into Demon Slayer. Serpentwing’s body instantly turned to dust. Greater Demon Monarch Serpentwing died.

Although it took a long time to describe, Meng Chuan killed the goat demon monarch with one strike the moment he appeared. Then, in two strikes—with his baneful aura aiding him-he killed Serpentwing. Everything took less than three seconds.

Second Brother is dead? The nine-headed lion demon monarch was stunned when he saw this.

The old dragon turtle, flower demoness, and spider demoness were also astonished.

Serpentwing, who could match a fifth Firmament, had died the moment he clashed in a one-on-one battle? Wasn’t it said that powerful greater demon monarchs had tenacious vitality? Why was he reduced to dust in one strike?

The old dragon turtle’s Essence Soul sent a voice transmission as he burrowed underground without hesitation. “Run!”

“Flee!” The nine-headed lion, flower demoness, and spider demoness did not hesitate to flee.

Of course they had to escape! The remaining demon monarchs would probably be killed in just a few slashes if they stayed behind. After all, Meng Chuan had just killed a fourth Firmament demon monarch that was comparable to a fifth Firmament demon monarch in a single exchange. Although they didn’t understand how a Marquis Godfiend could be so powerful—there were no such records of a Marquis Godfiend with such strength-they only had one thoughtescape as quickly as possible!

Whoosh.

Meng Chuan arrived beside the black-robed spider demoness in a second. He was so fast that it looked like he had teleported. Before the spider demoness could burrow underground, she saw Meng Chuan appear in front of her.

A saber beam pierced her head. Her heart couldn’t help but turn cold.
