Chapter 293: West Sea Marquis

“Don’t let him escape.”“Kill him!”

The fastest and most bizarre things to arrive were the tentacles. Numerous tentacles completely blocked Meng Chuan’s escape path, and two Ox Demon Kings also charged forward.

“Good,” Meng Chuan thought, feeling satisfied.

If he had immediately revealed overwhelming strength upon appearing, these demon kings would have scattered and fled desperately! Coupled with the fact that they were already spread out underground, if they truly split up and escaped… he would be lucky to kill even half of them.

But what about now?

By intentionally feigning weakness and displaying only the normal strength of a Marquis Godfiend, he lured these demon kings to actively surround him, each getting close enough for fear that Meng Chuan might escape.

“This way, it’s perfect for taking them all out at once,” Meng Chuan calmly said, brandishing his blade.

The dark red blade of the Demon Slaying Saber easily pierced into a tentacle in front of him. The tentacle’s tough skin offered no resistance, and the moment it pierced, the Demon Slaying Saber forcibly plundered its vital energy.

“Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle.” The tentacles began to turn to dust.

A black-robed female demon controlling these tentacles, which had initially sprouted from her back to attack Meng Chuan, now watched as they all turned to dust. She too, with wide eyes, completely disintegrated into dust. The Demon Slaying Saber’s absorption of flesh and blood was too powerful; as a mere Fourth-Heaven Demon King, she was utterly unable to resist such plunder.

“Huh?” The two Ox Demon Kings who had charged close trembled inwardly as they watched the thick, massive tentacles turn directly into dust.

“Clang, clang, clang.”The Soul-Shaking Bell rang out!Invisible primordial spirit fluctuations assailed the remaining four demon kings, and a brilliant radiance began to emanate from Meng Chuan’s body.

“Ah!” Both Ox Demon Kings clutched their heads in pain. They were only at the first level of the primordial spirit, and now they were dazed, unable to maintain clear consciousness.

Thud, thud.The Demon Slaying Saber flashed, and two consecutive strikes pierced through their heads.

Having charged forward without any power to resist, they were naturally killed quickly! As the Demon Slaying Saber killed them, it naturally plundered their vital energy, causing both Ox Demon Kings to completely disintegrate into dust.

“What?”“This, this…” The Serpent Demon King, who controlled a poisonous mist domain, and the Fox Demon King, whose illusion techniques were useless, were both stunned.

First, the leader of the Ox Demon brothers, who served as bait, was killed. Now, three other extremely strong close-combat companions had also turned to dust before their eyes. With the radiant light emanating from Meng Chuan’s body, distorting the surrounding space, and his undisguised terrifying might… the Serpent Demon King and Fox Demon King were filled with instinctual fear.

“It’s a trap.” They both instantly understood and tried to escape without hesitation.

“Boom.” Meng Chuan found that he was a bit far from the remaining two demon kings. Without hesitation, he waved his hand, unleashing a bolt of lightning.

Boom! Crack!A massive, dazzling bolt of lightning instantly shot out, turning dirt and rocks to dust as it struck the Fox Demon King, who had just begun to flee.

Divine Power – Heavenly Wrath!

Although he only unleashed ten percent of the lightning contained within his physical body, its power was still at the level of a King Godfiend. Meng Chuan’s limit for a single strike was to merge thirty percent of his lightning. This ‘Heavenly Wrath’ divine power was Meng Chuan’s fastest move, with the true speed of pure lightning. The Fox Demon King had just begun to flee when she was struck by the lightning, instantly turning into charred black remains with smoke rising.

The Fox Demon King was killed.

“Whoosh.” Meng Chuan himself transformed into a streak of lightning, pursuing the Serpent Demon King.

“Only you are left,” Meng Chuan said confidently. If the six demon kings had scattered, he would indeed have had a headache. But now, after intentionally feigning weakness to lure them into surrounding him, only one Serpent Demon King remained… One-on-one, within the range of his Electro-magnetic Field, how could this Serpent Demon King possibly escape?

Just one breath later.

The Serpent Demon King also turned to dust under the Demon Slaying Saber.

Thus, this entire team of demon kings met their demise.

Meng Chuan flew out from underground and collected the three other Godfiend corpses from the surface into his Grotto-heaven Pearl.

“I will find time to send the bodies of you five back to Yuanchu Mountain,” Meng Chuan murmured. This was the most critical moment, so he could only temporarily keep the bodies in his Grotto-heaven Pearl.

Meng Chuan flipped his hand, looking at the token. Dongning City and Changfeng City still glowed green, and no other world entrances had requested aid. Yuanchu Mountain’s earlier speculation had been correct… the likelihood of world entrances requesting aid was ultimately low.

Suddenly, the green glow for Dongning City abruptly turned a ghastly blood-red.

“Life-and-death plea for aid? Dongning City?” Meng Chuan was utterly shocked.

Before, everything in Dongning City had been under control. How could it suddenly become a life-and-death plea for aid?

“Quick.”

Without another thought, Meng Chuan instantly transformed into a streak of light, rushing with all his might towards his hometown, Dongning City. “Silver Lake Pass is a thousand and fifty li from Dongning City. It will take me nearly twenty breaths of time to get there.”

“A life-and-death plea for aid means a huge problem has certainly arisen.”

“They must hold on, hold on for twenty breaths of time.”

Meng Chuan was extremely anxious.

Twenty breaths of time isn’t long; a Marquis Godfiend typically only covers a hundred li in that time. But it’s not short either; in a life-and-death struggle, if the strength gap is truly immense, it would be enough to kill someone dozens of times over.

The sun had not yet set, but one area of Dongning City’s southern district had already been reduced to ruins.

“Pfft.”An elder spat blood, clutching his chest, but there was a large bloody hole in it.

On the other side stood a Green-scaled Demon King, who squeezed a heart he held in his left claw with a ‘squelch’ sound, then looked at the elder with a touch of pity: “Your human Godfiend bodies are truly fragile. You’re already a Marquis Godfiend, yet merely extracting your heart is enough to kill you. I could save you… but you are so old; perhaps it’s better if you die.”

An invisible wave struck the elder, sending him sprawling to the ground. His eyes completely dimmed, and he breathed his last.

“Senior Brother Yu,” the sword-wielding middle-aged man said, his face pale, watching the scene in grief.

“You all leave; I’ll handle this here.” The Green-scaled Demon King waved his hand. The six Fourth-Heaven Great Demon Kings from the other demon king team exchanged glances, then respectfully bowed and swiftly departed.

“A Fifth-Heaven Great Demon King,” the sword-wielding middle-aged man muttered, staring at the Green-scaled Demon King. He and Marquis Ziyu had jointly defended Dongning City. When the demon king team attacked, they two had fought against six demon kings… and even held a slight advantage. But then this Fifth-Heaven Great Demon King had suddenly launched a despicable sneak attack! Directly crippling Marquis Ziyu. Afterward, he had teamed up with the six Great Demon Kings, easily slaying Marquis Ziyu and severely wounding him as well.

This Fifth-Heaven Great Demon King, possessing a rare treasure, was far stronger than an ordinary King Godfiend.

The Green-scaled Demon King glanced at Marquis Ziyu’s corpse, then turned to the sword-wielding middle-aged man: “Marquis Xihai, you are still very young and have a bright future. I will give you a chance to live.” A fiery red pellet appeared in the Green-scaled Demon King’s left claw. “As long as you pledge allegiance to my demon race and consume this demon pellet, you can live.”

“My Yan family is a Godfiend family, with one King Godfiend and three Marquis Godfiends in this generation. How could we possibly pledge allegiance to your demon race?” Marquis Xihai retorted through gritted teeth, seething with rage.

“Time is precious now. I will only give you ten breaths to consider,” the Green-scaled Demon King said indifferently. “When the time is up, if you don’t surrender, you die.”
