Chapter 292: East Ning Marquis Meng Chuan, You Have Nowhere to Escape!

Episode 12, Chapter 22: Marquis Dongning, Meng Chuan, you have no escape!

A streak of lightning-like light flew through the sky, heading straight for Silver Lake Pass.

"Faster, hurry!"

Meng Chuan looked at the bloody distress signal on his token, his heart filled with anxiety. Even a single breath faster might save the lives of one or two Godfiends.

Even though he was now known for his unmatched speed in the world, Meng Chuan still felt he wasn't fast enough.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh." The scenery below blurred; mountains, rivers, plains, and forests flashed past in an instant.

"Here."

Meng Chuan immediately spotted a fortress in the distance: the abandoned Silver Lake Pass.

From the moment he received the distress call, Meng Chuan had traveled 700 li at full speed to reach Silver Lake Pass! It had taken him just over ten breaths of time.

"Whoosh." Meng Chuan flashed and arrived at the desolate, abandoned fortress.

He immediately saw a world entrance about two li long. Around it lay many demon king corpses, as well as human Godfiend corpses.

With just a glance, Meng Chuan spotted three Godfiend corpses. The human Godfiend bodies were severely damaged: some had punctured skulls, others had gaping bloodied holes in their chests. Meng Chuan's expression grew several shades colder. These were all Great Sun Godfiends from Yuanchu Mountain, and he naturally recognized them. Clearly, there were too many world entrances for Yuanchu Mountain to assign Marquis Godfiends to every single one; some entrances were guarded by 'Great Sun Godfiend teams.'

"Open!" Meng Chuan's third eye opened between his brows, and his Thunder God Eye fully scanned the area.

It instantly probed underground.

Underground, Meng Chuan instantly discovered two more Godfiend corpses. Following that, he found demon kings actively pursuing human Godfiends.

"There are still Godfiends alive." Meng Chuan's eyes lit up, and he immediately swooped down.

Godfiend Wei Cheng was desperately burrowing underground, but despair was creeping into his heart: "I'm afraid I can't escape."

Their team consisted of eight Great Sun Godfiends, most of whom were older and stronger. Three of them possessed strength comparable to the threshold of a Marquis Godfiend, while the other five were also peak Great Sun Godfiend level. Such a team... was far stronger than Meng Chuan's trio who had slain the Blackwater Palace Lord. They could easily slaughter a group of Triple Heaven Demon Kings.

Who would have thought they would encounter a demon king squad?

Six Quadruple Heaven Demon Kings, each unfathomable. Three of them had peak Marquis-level strength, and together, the six could rival an ordinary King-level expert.

The gap between them was too vast.

"Although we immediately chose to burrow and flee upon discovering the Quadruple Heaven Demon King squad, the power gap was too great. Senior Brother Fang and two others died before they could even burrow underground. The others scattered, hoping one or two might escape. As for me, I definitely can't escape." Wei Cheng ran at full speed, feeling a tentacle rapidly pursuing him.

"Demon King, face your death!" A furious roar, imbued with Darkstar True Yuan, echoed underground.

"Huh?"

"Who?"

"I sense the aura of a human Marquis Godfiend."

The six Quadruple Heaven Demon Kings, who had been spread out while pursuing the human Great Sun Godfiends, were not far from each other.

At this moment, their spirits lifted.

Sensing the unbridled eruption of Darkstar True Yuan, the Quadruple Heaven Demon Kings immediately abandoned their pursuit of the Great Sun Godfiends and swiftly moved to surround him.

Pursuing the remaining three would also take time; it was better to deal with a Marquis Godfiend! Killing one Marquis was far more appealing than killing twenty Great Sun Godfiends.

"Die!" An enraged Meng Chuan, wreathed in electric light, charged underground towards the nearest demon king, a bull demon nearly ten zhang tall. The bull demon king looked up at Meng Chuan, who was descending to kill him, and grinned, its booming laughter echoing through the underground: "It's Marquis Dongning, Meng Chuan!" Along with its loud laughter, the bull demon king also swung its long staff.

Meng Chuan chopped down with his saber, while the bull demon king swung its staff upwards in a backhand strike.

Saber and staff collided!

Meng Chuan was careful not to use his Darkstar True Yuan to activate the runes on his 'Demon Slaying Saber', letting the saber and staff simply collide.

With the impact, Meng Chuan was sent flying upwards a short distance, seemingly at a slight disadvantage.

"It's Marquis Dongning, Meng Chuan?" Another bull demon king's eyes lit up.

"Marquis Dongning, Meng Chuan, whose speed is unmatched throughout the world, has killed many of our demon race while on rescue missions!" A fox demon said, somewhat excitedly.

"The merit for killing him is no less than killing a King-level expert."

"Don't let him escape, no matter what."

"We'll surround him from underground. It's difficult to scout at close range underground, so he'll have trouble detecting us."

"You demon king, your strength isn't bad. Take a few more of my saber strikes." Meng Chuan, filled with killing intent, charged again, his movements becoming eerie.

"Whoosh, whoosh."

The bull demon king swung its long staff, its terrifying might distorting the void, turning the surrounding earth and rocks into dust. Yet, it was still somewhat disoriented by Meng Chuan's movement speed.

"Flying Swallow Style." Meng Chuan's form shifted, instantly transforming into more than a dozen blurred figures. Each time, he delivered continuous saber strikes. The bull demon king struggled to resist, and two strikes landed on its body, creating only two wounds.

"Thud."

Finally, the last saber strike slipped into the bull demon king's ear, seemingly penetrating with great difficulty.

"Get lost!" The bull demon king felt a mortal threat and suddenly slapped Meng Chuan.

Meng Chuan endured the slap, but his saber thoroughly pierced deep into the bull demon king's skull, his True Yuan completely pulverizing the inside of its head into a pulp. The bull demon king's eyes widened in disbelief... It had deliberately lured Marquis Dongning, Meng Chuan, yet it had actually died?

"Hahaha, cough, cough, cough." Meng Chuan was sent flying by the slap, crashing into the earth and rocks. He couldn't help but cough up blood, but his face was full of excited joy, as if killing a formidable Quadruple Heaven Demon King was a great achievement.

"Big brother."

"Big brother."

"Boom, boom," Two more bull demon kings burst out from the surrounding earth and rocks. Their bovine eyes wide, they stared in disbelief at their deceased brother.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh." Numerous tentacles shot out from the soil, encircling Meng Chuan.

Furthermore, black mist drifted, enveloping Meng Chuan.

"Marquis Dongning, Meng Chuan, you have no escape!" The five somewhat enraged demon kings had completely surrounded Meng Chuan. They were furious that despite having an absolute advantage, they had still lost a companion. Previously, they had been wary of Marquis Dongning Meng Chuan's world-renowned speed, so they had cautiously encircled him from all sides to ensure he couldn't escape.

Now that a companion had died in battle, the remaining five grew even more grief-stricken and indignant.

"Avenge our big brother!" The remaining two bull demon kings roared, and the other three demon kings also attacked simultaneously.

"What? Five demon kings?" Meng Chuan's expression drastically changed. He frantically tried to escape upwards, prompting the demon kings to exert even more effort to intercept him.
