Chapter 156: Grandaunt’s Advice

After killing Demon Monarch Lion, Meng Chuan felt relieved. Although he had made ample preparations, he was still afraid of accidents.

Oh? Meng Chuan looked at Demon Slayer in surprise.

Blood—from the hole in Demon Monarch Lion’s head—surged towards Demon Slayer as it devoured Demon Monarch Lion whole.

Is Demon Slayer absorbing Demon Monarch Lion’s flesh and blood? Meng Chuan was surprised. He knew that Demon Slayer could absorb sin, hatred, flesh, and blood. However, he had never seen Demon Slayer absorbing the aforementioned ever since he had obtained it. This was the first time! Demon Slayer was a Heaven-level divine armament after all. It was comparable to divine armaments used by Regis Godfiends. It wasn’t surprising that it thought nothing of normal demon monarchs’ flesh, blood, sin, and hatred.

He had killed several third Firmament demon monarchs, but it had never absorbed them. Meng Chuan realized that Demon Slayer probably didn’t think much of third Firmament demon monarchs. But to his surprise, it had absorbed Demon Monarch Lion.

“Kill!” The other two elite demon monarchs—that had surrounded Meng Chuan—saw Meng Chuan falter for a moment after being hit by the Soul Bewitching Fog. They were confident that Meng Chuan would certainly die.

When Meng Chuan released black baneful aura right on the heels of that, the two elite demon monarchs thought that he was putting up a futile struggle.

The Lightning Devastator Fiend Body’s baneful aura only affects ordinary demon monarchs. It’s no threat to Demon Monarch Lion at all. The two elite demon monarchs followed Demon Monarch Lion closely as they charged into the black baneful aura to help.

However, after charging in, the black baneful aura shocked them.

It was cold! Their strength dropped by 10 to 20 percent. The two elite demon monarchs quickly realized that Demon Monarch Lion stood motionless inside the baneful aura. Blood was flowing out from his head and entering meng Chuan’s saber, making it look even more demonic.

What happened? They were both stunned. They thought that they would see Demon Monarch Lion kill Meng Chuan the moment they entered the baneful aura! However, they never expected to see Demon Monarch Lion’s lifeblood being absorbed by a saber.

Oh? Meng Chuan looked at the two elite demon monarchs that had rushed in. Eighty percent of Demon Monarch Lion’s lifeblood had been absorbed by Demon Slayer the moment he killed him. Demon Slayer’s absorption speed was extremely fast.

Just in time. Meng Chuan moved.

He was still using a forbidden spell. Using a forbidden spell for a short period didn’t have much impact on him. Meng Chuan’s lifeforce was extremely strong; a forbidden spell caused limited damage to his body. He could easily recover from the forbidden spell’s side effects.

He continued to use the Power of Essence Soul. However, he only fused it with his Quintessential Essence. He could deliver over 40 moves of such strength! Although he weakened by 30 to 40 percent, he was still as strong as a Marquis Godfiend—the weakest Marquis Godfiend. However, it was still the strength of a Marquis Godfiend.

Boom!

The black baneful aura spread out.

Meng Chuan was much faster than normal. He instantly split into two figures—that arrived beside the two elite demon monarchs.

“Retreat!” When the two elite demon monarchs saw the dead Demon Monarch Lion, they only had thoughts of retreating. However, Meng Chuan was too fast—much faster than before.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Two saber beams struck them.

With the strength of a Marquis Godfiend, his saber beams were inconceivably fast. Although the two elite demon monarchs tried to defend, they failed. Hopelessly, they watched the saber beams land on them, taking their lives.

Whoosh!

Demon Monarch Lion’s blood continued surging into Demon Slayer. Finally, Demon Monarch Lion’s corpse was drained of all blood. It completely disintegrated. Even the tough bones were reduced to dust. Clearly, it had been sucked to nothingness. Meng Chuan was secretly alarmed by Demon Slayer’s evilness. Demon Slayer would rapidly grow if this kept up.

His Essence Soul had to reach the third stage if he wanted to ensure that Demon Slayer didn’t control him.

The black-robed demoness was extremely alarmed by Demon Monarch Lion’s death. Although the black baneful aura prevented her from sensing or seeing anything inside, she possessed a command talisman that could sense the statuses of all the demon monarchs under her command. Currently, only three demon monarchs present held a command talisman. The black-robed demoness, the ox demon monarch, and Demon Monarch Lion, each possessed a command talisman.

The other demon monarchs were still frantically attacking the Godfiends with extreme confidence.

“This…” The black-robed demoness panicked.

Demon Monarch Lion had attempted to kill Meng Chuan and was enveloped by a black baneful aura. With the command talisman, she sensed Demon Monarch Lion’s instant death.

Before she could stop them, the two elite demon monarchs rushed in and died.

What laid inside that black baneful aura? Entry meant death?

Losing Demon Monarch Lion and two elite demon monarchs consecutively was a terrible loss for the demon monarchs.

The black-robed demoness and the ox demon monarch exchanged looks and saw the horror in each other’s eyes.

“Retreat!” The black-robed demoness ordered frantically. “Retreat. Immediately retreat!”

“Retreat?”

Many demon monarchs believed that victory was at hand. They were stunned when they heard the orders to retreat. They clearly had the upper hand! With Demon Monarch Lion joining them, they would definitely score a huge victory.

Even if the human Godfiends relied on forbidden spells, they would collapse over time.

Victory is certain. Why are we retreating?

“Leader?” asked some demon monarchs via voice transmissions.

Whoosh.

The black baneful aura suddenly swept to the side and enveloped three elite demon monarchs and five ordinary demon monarchs that were attacking Zhang Yunhu.

“Retreat! Retreat! Quick, retreat!” The black-robed demoness shrilly commanded her underlings. “The second-in-command is dead. Retreat!”

Within the black baneful aura, Zhang Yunhu was blocking the attacks of two elite demon monarchs. The third elite demon monarch flanked him. At that moment, a saber beam struck out from the black baneful aura.

It was too sudden. The three elite demon monarchs had sensed the saber beam with their demonic powers, but it was just too fast! Furthermore, it was a sneak attack!

Pfft. Pfft. Pfft.

The two elite demon monarchs fighting Zhang Yunhu were killed.

The third elite demon monarch didn’t have time to flee before Meng Chuan caught up. Meng Chuan no longer maintained his forbidden spell, but he maintained the fusion of his Power of Essence Soul with his Quintessential Essence. He took two strikes to kill the third elite demon monarch.

This left Zhang Yunhu alarmed. He could vaguely see the person holding the saber. It was his Junior Brother Meng. Such strength! Junior Brother Meng is close to a Marquis Godfiend?

This wasn’t strange. Among Great Solar Godfiends, there were indeed some that could match Marquis Godfiends when they went all out. For example, a transcendent-grade Godfiend that had reached the Realm of Dao usually had strength similar to a Marquis Godfiend. Once they used a forbidden spell, they could match Marquis Godfiends. However, they only had strength similar to the weakest Marquis Godfiends.

Therefore, it was very impressive for a Great Solar Godfiend to withstand dozens of blows from a Marquis Godfiend and escape. It was impossible for them to Great Solar Godfiends to kill someone at a higher cultivation realm! After all, Marquis Godfiends were already very powerful even without using forbidden spells.

Junior Brother Meng just left the mountain for a year, and he has strength close to that of a Marquis Godfiend? He’s stronger than me? Zhang Yunhu found it unbelievable. However, he immediately attacked and killed two ordinary demon monarchs. Meng Chuan killed the remaining three ordinary demon monarchs.

“The second-in-command is dead. Retreat, retreat!” The black-dressed demoness ordered them to retreat frantically. She did not delay any further as she led the ox demon monarch and the others to retreat.

The other demon monarchs were stunned when they heard the voice transmission, but they immediately fled in panic.

Why did we suddenly lose? How did Demon Monarch Lion die?

There were only ten elite demon monarchs in their ranks! The black-robed demoness and Demon Monarch Lion were the strongest.

Now, six were dead. Although there were over 40 third Firmament demon monarchs, most were ordinary demon monarchs. There were only four elite demon monarchs left. Demon Monarch Ox was the only one skilled at close combat. How were they to continue fighting?

“Kill!” Zhang Yunhu, Meng Chuan, and Mu Qing frantically chased after them. They no longer stayed conservative! Instead, they attacked the fleeing demon monarchs madly!

Escape! Escape! Escape!

Fortunately for the demon monarchs, the World Entrance was very close. The black-robed demoness and the other demon monarchs charged into the World Entrance. After 35 demon monarchs entered the World Entrance, the remaining demon monarchs were unable to enter. The World Entrance’s distorted passageway only allowed for 35 third Firmament demon monarchs to pass through at any given moment.

“No.” The demon monarchs—that were stuck outside—despaired. They were killed by Zhang Yunhu, Mu Qing, Shi Xiu, and Meng Chuan.

Over 100 second Firmament demon monarchs were in greater despair. They couldn’t escape. They had been abandoned.

Only when the black-robed demoness and the other demon monarchs exit the World Entrance tunnel did they calm down.

What’s up with that Meng Chuan? As the black-robed demoness entered the Demon Realm, she looked back at the human world. She stared at the dark-cyan-robed youth.

After being enveloped by Meng Chuan’s baneful aura, Demon Monarch Lion and five other elite demon monarchs were killed. Demon Monarch Lion is like me, a descendant of a demon sage. His bloodline is extraordinary. He alone can match three to four elite demon monarchs. How could he be killed instantly? Did a Regis Godfiend or Creation realm expert give him a life-saving treasure? Is it some world wonder, or is it his own strength?

The black-robed demoness’s mind was in a mess.

Demon Monarch Lion and the others were all dead. They didn’t know what Meng Chuan had done. Meng Chuan had used the baneful aura when fighting the demon monarchs. The baneful aura had limited effect on the demon monarchs, but he mainly used it to hide his actions.

His grandaunt had given him three pieces of advice before her death. One of them was: Always hide your killer moves! Even when killing enemies, try to keep them a secret. Don’t expose your secrets to others!
