Chapter 192: Demon Chaos Among Humans Eight-Armed Demon King Chandu

The demon kings present were extraordinary; some had towering physiques, others were fierce or enchanting. All of them were at the Third Heaven Demon King level! After all, Second Heaven Demon Kings were not qualified to sit at the White Fox Demon King's banquet.

Although the Eight-Armed Demon King Chandou was quite powerful, he couldn't even rank among the top three within this group of Third Heaven Demon Kings.

The other demon kings were unwilling to go to the prefecture city, knowing that powerful gods and demons surely guarded it.

"Demon King Chandou, what courage!" the White Fox Demon King exclaimed, her eyes lighting up.

"Demon King Chandou, we admire you."

"Investigating the prefecture city's details will be left to Demon King Chandou."

The demon kings offered their compliments. These demon kings were very cunning and well aware of how dangerous the human world was. The 'interceptions' alone, encountered upon entering the world, had sobered these demon kings completely. None of them wanted to tackle the 'prefecture city,' a tough nut to crack.

"Currently, powerful gods and demons from Yuanchu Mountain, the capital, and various prefecture cities have all entered the prefecture and county cities," the Green Snake Demoness said with a smile. "Demon King Chandou, you'll need to be careful when attacking the prefecture city."

The Eight-Armed Demon King immediately chuckled, "Thank you, Demon King Qingyu, for your concern. Among the demon kings present, my strength is only average, but I excel at earth-tunnelling techniques. Even if there are powerful gods and demons in the prefecture city, I can escape using my earth-tunnelling ability."

"When it comes to earth-tunnelling, you are indeed the most skilled among us," the Green Snake Demoness nodded in approval.

This group of powerful demon kings quickly finalized their plan: the prefecture and county cities of Gushan Prefecture would be attacked, and five demon kings would even target fortified villages and hamlets.

"The attack date is set for the first day of the second month," the White Fox Demon King said, glancing at Demon King Qingyu. Demon King Qingyu did not object, and so it was decided.

In terms of status and bloodline, the White Fox Demon King held the highest position. However, in terms of strength, Demon King Qingyu was the strongest among them.

Gushan Prefecture spanned 470 li north to south and 310 li east to west, comprising eleven counties and a population of several million.

After the large-scale, quiet infiltration of demon kings, young men serving in the military were deployed throughout Gushan Prefecture. Yet, the entire prefecture remained calm, with no demon kings being detected.

On the morning of the first day of the second month, the weather was still a bit chilly. What seemed like an ordinary day would be forever remembered by the people of Gushan Prefecture.

"The three of you will also split up, attack the villages and fortified strongholds, and withdraw immediately after a brief assault," the Wolf Demon King instructed his three ordinary demon kings from within a mountain cave.

"Yes, sir."

The three ordinary demon kings respectfully acknowledged the order and quietly departed.

The Wolf Demon King transformed into a black-furred giant wolf, six to seven zhang long, and streaked down the mountain like a blur. It galloped across the vast wilderness directly towards a distant county city, subtly drawing on the power of heaven and earth to conceal itself. At such terrifying speed, one wouldn't even notice it without a careful look.

"A human county city."

A giant flying beast soared high in the sky, wings spread, gazing down at the county city before swooping down.

Due to the large-scale infiltration of Third Heaven Demon Kings, flying demon kings also became common. After all, in the demon world, the avian lineage was a very large one. It was impossible for the entire vast avian lineage of demon kings to refrain from participating in the war just because humans captured flying demon kings as mounts. Other demon clans would not agree either, as even the descendants of the Demon Saints were participating on a large scale; all factions had to join the fight.

"With so many Third Heaven Demon Kings, can we wipe out the human world's ordinary gods and demons?" the Green Snake Demoness mused. She was able to fully transform into a human woman and walked through the wilderness, each step covering dozens of zhang, heading towards a distant human county city.

At this moment, throughout Gushan Prefecture, Third Heaven Demon Kings began advancing towards their respective targets.

Gushan Prefecture City.

Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue were having morning tea in a teahouse. The prefecture city was bustling in the morning, with people hurrying about, busy with their lives.

"The steamed buns here in Gushan Prefecture aren't as good as those in Dongning Prefecture," Liu Qiyue commented while eating. "However, this ginger tea is quite good."

"In Dongning Prefecture, like many places, people drink soy milk in the morning. Gushan Prefecture is unique; they drink ginger tea. Drinking ginger tea first thing in the morning... I can't quite get used to it," Meng Chuan said, ordering a pot of tea and having his breakfast.

"What's wrong with ginger tea? It's delicious and warming," Liu Qiyue said, quite content.

Their days in Gushan Prefecture were quite leisurely. Both also tried to have children, but clearly, pregnancy isn't something that happens just because you want it! Mortals might struggle for several years to have a child. Gods and demons also required some luck.

This peaceful life greatly satisfied Meng Chuan and his wife. They even wished... how wonderful it would be if the human world remained so tranquil forever? But the Demon World, coveting the human realm, would not give up easily. And they, as gods and demons, had no choice but to face the challenge.

"Hmm?" Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue's expressions suddenly changed as they simultaneously looked to the east. Aside from their demon-sensing tokens becoming scorching hot, their own perception of demon qi detected an explosion of it in the east.

"Demon King! I'll go kill it first!" Meng Chuan instantly vanished from the table.

Outside the prefecture city.

A bear demon, still not having reached the city, was discovered by patrolling soldiers outside the city. Arrows were shot from afar, causing the bear demon to drop its disguise, unleash its demonic power, and charge towards the prefecture city at full speed.

"I haven't even reached the city yet, and I've been discovered. The Great King commanded me to get in, kill some people, and then quickly flee. Now that I'm exposed, maybe I'll just kill some people on the city wall and then escape?" the Bear Demon King thought as it rushed forward.

"This bear demon is truly stupid, getting discovered before even entering the city." Another monkey demon king, however, was exceptionally agile. It quietly scaled the mere ten-zhang-high city wall, unnoticed by the soldiers guarding it. The monkey demon king landed in the crown of a large tree inside the city, hidden by the foliage. It glanced at the frantically charging bear demon king outside the city, let out a sneer, and prepared to begin its massacre.

Suddenly—

The head of the charging Bear Demon King flew directly off its body.

"What?" The monkey demon king's eyes widened. "Who killed it? How did I not see clearly?"

Whoosh.

The monkey demon king then saw a blurred figure, whose eyes carried a coldness, appear before it.

A monkey's head also flew into the air.

Meng Chuan first used his detection of demon qi to kill the Bear Demon King. As he passed through the area, his Essence Soul domain naturally sensed a two-li radius. Even though the monkey demon king had not yet unleashed its demonic power, it was still discovered by Meng Chuan. So Meng Chuan, restraining his lightning, killed both Second Heaven Demon Kings in an instant, so quickly that even other demon kings couldn't clearly see what happened.

Both Second Heaven Demon Kings died before they even had a chance to act.

"Two Second Heaven Demon Kings?" Meng Chuan stood under a large tree, carefully sensing. Soon, Liu Qiyue also arrived. "Achuan, is it done?"

Meng Chuan frowned. "I only found two demon kings, both at the Second Heaven. Would such weak demon kings dare to attack the prefecture city?"

Liu Qiyue also nodded. "Now that the medium-sized strongholds are completely open, many Third Heaven Demon Kings will be entering. Two weak demon kings attacking the prefecture city? It is indeed a bit strange."

In the mountain forest about five li east of Gushan Prefecture city, the Eight-Armed Demon King Chandou stood with a grim expression, watching Gushan Prefecture city in the distance. He could see the Bear Demon King's head fly off, but he couldn't see the fate of the monkey demon king inside the city.

"The bear demon is dead, and I didn't even see how the god or demon acted. And the monkey demon... it went into the city, why is there no sign of it?" "How did the god or demon kill the bear demon? Was it a domain? Or Sword Fiend?" the Eight-Armed Demon King Chandou wondered silently. "Whatever the method, I'm no match. I should retreat."

The Eight-Armed Demon King Chandou quietly burrowed into the ground and quickly escaped using earth-tunnelling.
