Chapter 193: Demon Chaos in the Mortal World Rescue

Inside Gushan Prefecture City, Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue carefully observed and sensed their surroundings. However, the city remained peaceful, encountering no further attacks.

"Only two weak demon monarchs? That's it?" Meng Chuan and his wife were both somewhat puzzled.

What they didn't know was that the swift beheading of the Bear Demon Monarch, known for its powerful physique, had terrified the Eight-Armed Demon Monarch Chan Du. This also made the prefecture city the only city in the entire Gushan Prefecture that had not suffered disaster.

"Hmm?" Meng Chuan felt a warmth in his chest and pulled out his patrol token. Two points on the token glowed red, startling him. "Changgu County and Gaoyu County are both calling for help!"

"Why didn't my patrol token receive a dispatch order?" Liu Qiyue pulled out her own token, a little confused. "We're a team, aren't we?" Logically, they should have departed together for the rescue.

"This danger is within Gushan Prefecture, and the threat level isn't high. Yuanchu Mountain probably believes... I alone can handle it," Meng Chuan explained. "They also want you to stay in the prefecture city to ensure its safety."

"Alright, I'm heading out first." Meng Chuan didn't hesitate, instantly transforming into a streak of lightning and speeding away.

"Be careful," Liu Qiyue managed to say, watching the streak of lightning vanish into the horizon.

Meng Chuan first headed towards Changgu County. At his current speed, each flash covered four to five li, making him incredibly fast. However, after only three breaths of travel, he saw two columns of wolf smoke rising in the distance.

"Wolf smoke? There are demons!" Meng Chuan, traveling at supersonic speed, was alarmed and immediately rushed towards them.

In two flashes, he saw the nearest walled village. Inside, a column of wolf smoke rose amidst pitiful wails. A demon monarch, seven to eight zhang tall and covered in scales, was swinging a giant hammer. With a single strike, it collapsed buildings inside the fort, destroyed the complex mechanisms of the underground tunnels, and crushed dozens of villagers hiding within into a bloody pulp. Blood seeped out from the ruins.

By the time Meng Chuan arrived, over a thousand people in this walled village had already died, surpassing half of its population. The remaining people were in despair.

"Demon monarch, die!"

"Die!"

Some, holding crossbows from within the fort, fired bolts at the demon monarch. However, the bolts were stopped by an invisible demonic force several zhang before reaching the demon monarch, and were shattered into powder by the shockwave. Ordinary weapons posed no threat even to a Second-Heaven demon monarch, let alone this Third-Heaven demon monarch.

"Hahahaha..." The scaled demon monarch laughed, slaughtering indiscriminately. To it, these were just tiny insects, posing no threat whatsoever.

But Meng Chuan, upon arriving and seeing this scene, felt his eyes burn red. He knew that after abandoning all small and medium-sized strongholds, a large number of demon monarchs would surely enter! Scenes of demon monarchs wantonly slaughtering would be common, but actually witnessing a demon monarch slaughtering a walled village... still pained Meng Chuan's heart.

Demon monarchs were supposed to be dealt with by Godfiends! Yet now, they were slaughtering mortals here.

"Die!" Meng Chuan attacked with the fastest speed.

"Hmm?" The scaled demon monarch sensed something and turned its head, only to see a lightning-fast figure already upon it.

"What?" The scaled demon monarch was startled. For this large-scale probing attack, it had specifically chosen a walled village. It had even sent two of its subordinate demon monarchs to attack another walled village as a diversion. How could a Godfiend arrive so quickly? It immediately swung its large hammer, trying to defend itself.

The blade light was too fast! Its large hammer had just begun to lift when the blade light sliced through its body, cutting horizontally across its chest. The majestic, massive scaled demon monarch was bisected from the chest, splitting into two. Its body, severed into two halves, fell directly into the ruins, and a large amount of dark green blood flowed out, forming a pool of dark green blood around it.

"It's dead."

"It's dead!" The dozen or so people inside the fort who were still watching outside became immensely excited when they saw the invincible demon monarch fall.

A streak of lightning quickly rushed towards another walled village.

The other walled village was attacked by the three demon monarchs dispatched by the scaled demon monarch. Their slaughtering speed was nearly identical to the scaled demon monarch's, with wolf smoke billowing. This walled village was similarly unable to resist.

"Whoosh!"

A lightning bolt, like thunder, cut across in a curve. All three ordinary demon monarchs were immediately slain.

"Continue to Changgu County." Meng Chuan didn't stop, leaping across the sky.

Flying high in the sky, Meng Chuan looked back at the two walled villages where wolf smoke still rose. The forts were ruined, and casualties were heavy.

"Is this the result of abandoning the small and medium-sized strongholds?" Meng Chuan murmured to himself, a strange sorrow in his heart. He knew the three major sects had made the right choice. But the scenes of demons wantonly wreaking havoc among humans... still filled him with rage.

"I will spend my entire life killing them." Meng Chuan's eyes grew colder.

In terms of numbers, Great Solar Godfiends were far fewer than Third-Heaven demon monarchs. This was because humanity pursued an elite strategy, especially the Great Solar Godfiends from Yuanchu Mountain, who were on average much stronger than Third-Heaven demon monarchs.

Currently, in places with many Godfiends like Yuanchu Mountain, the capital city, and provincial capitals, large numbers of Godfiends were being deployed to prefecture cities and county towns. Conversely, in places like the capital city and provincial capitals, Godfiends were few, as merely having powerful Godfiends stationed there was sufficient.

In Gushan Prefecture, besides Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue's powerful small team, there were also two other Godfiend teams. Both of these Godfiend teams were stationed in county towns.

"What? This county town actually hides four Godfiends?" A five to six zhang long black-furred giant wolf leaped over the city wall and charged into the county town, causing panic among the residents. Just as it began to slaughter, four Godfiends immediately arrived and surrounded it.

"Demon monarch, you court death!"

A thin young man, with cold eyes, unleashed his Azure Silk Domain. Countless razor-sharp azure threads streaked across the sky, enveloping the surroundings and wildly entangling the black-furred giant wolf. The black giant wolf reverted to its human form, resisting the restraints, but its strength and speed were greatly reduced, its power diminished by thirty percent.

Moreover, a female Godfiend wielding a long spear charged directly into close combat. A burly Godfiend with a shield and axe also attacked. In the distance, a small, thin elderly Godfiend was casting illusions.

This team consisted of two Great Solar Godfiends and two Indestructible Godfiends! The four-person team, working together, was capable of eliminating elite Third-Heaven demon monarchs.

"Break!" The wolf demon monarch, restrained by the domain, tried to resist the female Godfiend with the spear, but suddenly felt dizzy, seeing other scenes, and its mind became muddled.

"Pfft." A single spear thrust pierced the wolf demon monarch's mouth and exited from the back of its head.

The female Godfiend calmly withdrew her spear. With its head pierced, the wolf demon monarch naturally died on the spot and fell to the ground.

"I haven't even made my move yet," the burly Godfiend with the shield and axe couldn't help but chuckle. While it sounded simple, the instant kill was actually achieved by the coordinated efforts of the other three Godfiends: domain suppression, illusionary influence, and close-quarters striking. In truth, the female Godfiend from Yuanchu Mountain was considerably stronger than the wolf demon monarch in a direct confrontation.

"Look over there," the female Godfiend said, her expression changing as she pointed into the distance. Wolf smoke began to rise in the distance. Though it was over ten li away, it was clearly visible.

"It's a walled village," the other three Godfiends said, their expressions changing.

"Let's go quickly." The female Godfiend gave the order. The four of them immediately rushed over. Their team had to advance and retreat together; individual action was forbidden.

At this moment, various places throughout Gushan Prefecture were under attack, but only Meng Chuan and the two Godfiend teams were providing rescue. The number of Godfiends was simply too few.
