Chapter 185: Divine Power!

Even from half a kilometer away, Meng Chuan and Zhang Yunfeng could sense the greater demon monarch’s surging aura.

Zhuang Fu didn’t leak any aura while hiding underground. When he ambushed Meng Chuan and Zhang Yunfeng with all his strength, his abrupt burst of aura alarmed them. This aura was much stronger than Blackwater Palace Lord’s. Its strength was very close to Marquis Heavenstar’s—who Meng Chuan had met. However, it was different from Marquis Heavenstar’s aura in mood. Marquis Heavenstar’s aura was more ethereal, while this fourth Firmament demon monarch’s aura was very thick.

A fourth Firmament demon monarch was on par with Marquis Godfiends in strength; they only lacked the Darkstar domain—which was only available to Marquis Godfiends and beyond. Although they didn’t have a Darkstar domain, they definitely had a divine power. They could even have multiple divine powers.

“Be careful of the demon monarch’s divine power,” said Meng Chuan via voice transmission.

“Don’t worry.” Zhang Yunfeng was very cautious too. “My domain had already penetrated 100 feet underground. I never expected it to remain hiding underground.”

It was extremely difficult for a domain to extend underground. Under normal circumstances, domains could only penetrate 100 feet deep!

“It’s all thanks to that rhinoceros demon monarch,” said Meng Chuan. If not for the rhinoceros demon monarch’s cry, Zhuang Fu would have to be within 200 feet of him before he could discover his existence! Such distance was simply too close! Although his movement technique had improved tremendously, it would be impressive if he could protect himself, let alone protecting Zhang Yunfeng as well in a split second.

Since they had heard Demon Monarch Rhinoceros’s cry, they had ample time to avoid Zhuang Fu’s ambush.

Growl—

From afar, Demon Monarch Snake roared with grief and indignation. He was the most tenacious among the three elite demon monarchs, but under the domain’s suppression, he only had 10 to 20 percent of his strength left. He ended up dying after the Nine Absolute Sword Formation assaulted him.

The three third Firmament elite demon monarchs all died underneath Zhang Yunfeng’s sword formation. However, the truly terrifying Zhuang Fu stared at them, not concerned about the three demon monarchs’ deaths at all.

“Meng Chuan and Zhang Yunfeng.” The powerful Zhuang Fu stared at the duo.

“Might I know which greater demon monarch you are?” asked Zhang Yunfeng.

Instead of answering his question, Zhang Fu scoffed and said, “You sure run fast.”

Swoosh.

Zhuang Fu transformed into a phantom as he rushed towards the six Godfiends—that had been silently retreating from the battlefield.

“Be careful.”

“Separate and flee.”

“Good luck, everyone!”

The six Godfiends immediately dispersed when they saw Zhuang Fu approaching. They each chose a different direction to flee in. When facing a fourth Firmament demon monarch, separating would provide one with the greatest chance of survival.

“Junior Brother Meng, let’s hold him back,” said Zhang Yunfeng immediately.

“Yes.” Meng Chuan didn’t hesitate as he carried Zhang Yunfeng to pursue after Zhuang Fu in the form of lightning. He maintained a 1000 foot gap from Zhuang Fu as Zhang Yunfeng constantly manipulated his domain to suppress Zhuang Fu, affecting the greater demon monarch’s speed.

Zhuang Fu slowed down slightly, but he was still far faster than Great Solar Godfiends.

A female Godfiend was fleeing at high speed.

He’s about to catch up. The female Godfiend sensed Zhuang Fu rapidly approaching from behind. She knew that struggling was futile. Senior Brother Fan, Senior Brother Qu, I’ll be joining you too.

Swoosh.

Just as the female Godfiend accepted her demise, a bolt of lightning flashed by the side. Her arm was grabbed before she rapidly streaked across the sky.

What? Zhuang Fu looked at where the female Godfiend had been in shock.

Meng Chuan rushed away with the female Godfiend and Zhang Yunfeng. Although his current speed was much slower than usual, he was still slightly faster than Zhuang Fu.

He’s still a little faster than me while carrying two people? Zhuang Fu was astonished, but the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. What a stupid Godfiend.

Due to Meng Chuan rescuing the female Godfiend, the distance between the trio and Zhuang Fu shrank to 800 feet the moment he grabbed hold of the female Godfiend.

“This is the moment!” Zhuang Fu instantly cast a forbidden spell, causing his speed to increase suddenly.

“Hold!” Zhang Yunfeng and Meng Chuan—who had both been paying attention to Zhuang Fu—cast forbidden Godfiend spells simultaneously. Meng Chuan’s speed increased as Zhang Yunfeng’s domain increased in strength.

“Go.” A cold glint flashed in Zhuang Fu’s eyes when he saw this. He immediately lashed out with his tail, sending the black poisonous stinger flying out.

Swish! The poisonous stinger tore through the air, moving faster than Meng Chuan.

“Leave quickly.” Seeing this, Meng Chuan immediately threw the female Godfiend away and fled with Zhang Yunfeng. He would be too slow if he carried the two of them, which would make their escape impossible.

After the female Godfiend was thrown out, she fled frantically in another direction.

Zhuang Fu completely ignored her. Instead, he continued chasing after the duo.

The black poisonous stinger pierced through Zhang Yunfeng’s domain with terrifying speed.

“Block!” Zhang Yunfeng—who had used a forbidden Godfiend spell—condensed nine sword beams to block the black poisonous stinger.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

The poisonous stinger pierced through every sword beam. The poisonous stinger was incomparably sharp, seemingly indestructible. It destroyed everything in its path.

“His poisonous stinger is too powerful. He’s much stronger than Blackwater Palace Lord,” said Zhang Yunfeng via voice transmission. “Don’t bother about me. Hurry up and escape!”

Flee. At this critical moment, Meng Chuan fused the Power of Essence Soul with his body and Quintessential Essence. After the battle with Blackwater Palace Lord, he had greatly depleted his Power of Essence Soul reserves. Although he had recovered some of his reserves, he could deliver ten strikes at most if he had fused only the Power of Essence Soul with his Quintessential Essence. If he were to fuse the Power of Essence Soul with his body and Quintessential Essence, he could only execute a single move.

Swoosh!

The Power of Essence Soul fused with his body and Quintessential completely, and Meng Chuan’s speed suddenly increased as he carried Senior Brother Zhang away with him.

The poisonous stinger pierced through the layers of barriers behind him. The distance between the poison stinger and Meng Chuan had originally shrunk to 300 feet. But with Meng Chuan’s burst of speed, the gap didn’t shrink as fast as before! The gap shortened to 150 feet before the poisonous stinger suddenly stopped..

Meng Chuan opened up a distance of 750 meters from Zhuang Fu with Senior Brother Zhang. Under Meng Chuan’s explosive burst, he instantly distanced himself by a distance that far exceeded the range of Zhuang Fu’s poisonous stinger’s control range.

He’s still that fast while carrying a person? Zhuang Fu couldn’t believe it.

In that instant, Meng Chuan’s Power of Essence Soul fusion and forbidden Godfiend spell allowed him to flee at astonishing speeds.

Whoosh.

Meng Chuan felt a stabbing pain in his head. He felt absolutely miserable after exhausting his Power of Essence Soul reserves completely. However, he heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Zhang Yunfeng beside him.

“You should have given up on me.” Zhang Yunfeng was somewhat shocked as he couldn’t help but say, “You are still young. You shouldn’t risk your life for an old man like me who’s about to die.”

“If I were really about to be caught, I’d have abandoned you,” said Meng Chuan. “However, if I can escape, I’ll naturally bring you along.”

“Haha…” Zhang Yunfeng laughed.

Meng Chuan laughed as well.

Both were naturally happy to be alive. The two smiled as they looked at the distant Zhuang Fu.

Zhuang Fu also stopped. The poisonous stinger streaked across the sky and flew back to his tail. In terms of strength, Zhuang Fu could crush Meng Chuan and Zhang Yunfeng as long as he could touch them. However, Meng Chuan was too fast! Furthermore, the domain also greatly reduced the strength of his divine power—Poison Thrust. In the end, the duo managed to escape with their lives.

The divine power, Poison Thrust, was something almost all Zhuang family demon monarchs were adept at. The poisonous stinger could fly through the air and attack the opponent. It was incomparably sharp and poisonous. It was a terrifying divine power.

I can’t kill them! Zhuang Fu stared at the duo and didn’t hesitate to head elsewhere. He targeted the other Godfiends that were closest to him.

Pfft! Pfft!

Zhuang Fu shot his poisonous stingers towards two Godfiends.

However, Meng Chuan and Zhang Yunfeng didn’t dare rescue them. This was because Meng Chuan was unable to unleash his full power, having depleted his Power of Essence Soul reserves.

Damn it. Meng Chuan could only watch the greater demon monarch killing the Godfiends. He was rather aggrieved. He didn’t even have the right to fight such a powerful greater demon monarch. All he could do was flee!

“You’ve already done enough.” Zhang Yunfeng had experienced plenty in his life, and he was very calm. “Several Godfiends and I survived because of you.”

The six Godfiends had fled separately.

Zhuang Fu was quite fast, but even with his impressive divine powers, he only managed to kill two Godfiends. He ceased chasing the other four Godfiends because it would be a waste of time.

Damn you, Meng Chuan! Standing outside the city, Zhuang Fu coldly glanced at the duo before transforming into a blur and disappearing into the clouds.

As for the duo, they stealthily returned to Changfeng Prefecture and hid. They waited for the Earth Net Godfiends to come and manage Changfeng Prefecture.

But before long, an oppressive aura enveloped the entire Changfeng Prefecture City.

Meng Chuan and Zhang Yunfeng—who both hid in an ordinary compound hall so that Zhuang Fu wouldn’t find them if he returned—were alarmed when they sensed the oppressive aura envelop them.

A linen-clothed man appeared at the entrance of the hall.

Meng Chuan and Zhang Yunfeng were delighted when they saw the person. They immediately stood up and greeted respectfully, “Uncle-Master East River.”

The person who had come was none other than King East River.
