Chapter 59: Demoralized

Meng Chuan had rushed from Mirror Lake Meng Manor to Blazing Sun Dao Academy . Everything he had seen on the way had caused strong killing intent to burn within him .

He did not hold back as he charged through the demons . Wherever he passed, the demons would be slain like swine!

“Quickly, hide away . ”

“Is this human a Godfiend?”

The demons avoided him in horror . If there were a chance of killing him, the demons wouldn’t hesitate to charge forward one after another . However, the strength Meng Chuan revealed was too terrifying . Even if a group of demons charged forward, they would be killed . They weren’t capable of stopping his advance or injuring him . It was a matter of tempting fate . These demons were unwilling to do so .

“What big claims . Leave this human to me,” said Commander Wyrm with a voice transmission . “Continue attacking Blazing Sun Castle and capture that human woman with a phoenix bloodline . ”

“Alright . ” Commander Ox was also confident in his companion .

Clang!

Commander Wyrm stepped on Blazing Sun Dao Academy’s stone pavement . Afterimages were left in his wake as he attacked .

Meng Chuan charged at an even faster speed .

The two clashed .

Phew . Commander Wyrm’s body silently emanated a colorless poisonous gas . He was called Poison Wyrm because he was good at using poison .

This poison of mine can kill demon commanders with extremely powerful bodies after 30 seconds . Commander Wyrm was extremely confident . The human body is much weaker, so he can only last for a short while . Even if I don’t attack, he will be poisoned to death once he breathes it in .

Furthermore, he was quite skilled in close-quarters combat .

Swoosh .

Meng Chuan was clad in lightning . When he was close to Commander Wyrm, he immediately sensed small, distorted worms hiding in the air . These twisted worms were too small to be seen with the naked eye . However, Meng Chuan’s sensory domain allowed him to sense every single worm .

The tiny, translucent worms wriggled in the air .

“Oh?” Meng Chuan turned into a streak of light, moved to the edge of the poisonous gas, and gently touched it .

Ever since he had condensed his core, his Quintessential Energy had transformed into Quintessential Essence—which was much more powerful . Quintessential Essence could protect him and also be released as an attack . As for Meng Chuan’s Godfiend foundation, it was several times stronger than that of ordinary experts . His Quintessential Essence was purer and more condensed .

Once the poisonous gas came into contact with the Quintessential Essence protecting his body, his Quintessential Essence began corroding .

This poisonous gas is powerful . If the poisonous gas surrounded me, my protective Quintessential Essence would be depleted in seconds . If the poison gas enters my body, the consequences would be even direr . Meng Chuan immediately concluded that he clearly couldn’t fight Commander Wyrm for a prolonged period! If it dragged on, his Quintessential Essence would be completely drained . When that happened, how would he fight against his enemies?

I have to use the Power of the Soul again . Meng Chuan sighed . Demon commanders are indeed formidable . The two I’ve encountered… required the Power of the Soul to kill them .

Boom!

The Power of the Soul fused with his entire body .

His control over his body and Quintessential Essence had risen to stunning levels . This feeling of control over his body still mesmerized him . The Quintessential Essence protecting his body became denser, and its resistance to the poison increased by ten-fold . He excavated more of his body’s potential . Every muscle and bone came closer to perfection as they worked in concert . This raised his strength several-fold . The speed he was most proud of had reached an unimaginable level .

Swish! Commander Wyrm felt like the human expert—who had already been faster than him—had instantly increased his speed . He couldn’t even see Meng Chuan clearly .

A Godfiend? Commander Wyrm shuddered and instinctively cast a forbidden spell . However, just as he unleashed a forbidden spell, a nigh-indiscernible saber beam appeared in front of it . Following that, he felt himself flying .

“This is…” He saw a headless wyrm . That’s my body? I-I’ve been killed? Commander Wyrm immediately understood that only his head was flying—his body was still standing at its original location . This understanding didn’t last long as Commander Wyrm’s consciousness disappeared .

…

The entire battlefield suddenly fell silent .

Even the demons that had rushed into Blazing Sun Castle retreated a few steps and slowed down their attack . They looked at the beheaded Commander Wyrm dazedly . A commander was the spiritual center of a demon army . Every commander represented an almost invincible expert beneath the demon monarch realm . And now, Commander Wyrm was killed?

“Poison Wyrm?” Commander Ox—who was blocking Dean Zhong’s arrows—was also stunned . Poison Wyrm—who has fought me for more than a century—is dead just like that? He was killed with a single slash?

“He killed a demon commander in one strike?” The humans had completely different reactions from the demons . This was a pleasant surprise! Although ordinary demons could be easily killed, they didn’t have confidence in Meng Chuan’s fight with the demon commander .

All this while, Dean Zhong and the other experts who had served the military knew a hard truth: A demon commander was virtually invincible under the realm of Godfiends and demon monarchs .

It was already impressive if a peerless human genius could fight them to a standstill . But now, he had killed one with a single slash?

“Let’s block these demons and leave the remaining commander to Meng Chuan . ” Dean Zhong was the first to shout loudly . His voice was several decibels louder, and the surrounding human experts heaved sighs of relief .

“Liu Qiyue, stop casting forbidden Godfiend spells . Just rest by the side,” shouted Dean Zhong immediately .

“Okay . ” Liu Qiyue stopped casting forbidden Godfiend spells . She leaned against a wall with a pale face and stared at the familiar figure through the window .

Ah Chuan is here! He killed Commander Wyrm with a single slash . Everyone is saved! She knew that Meng Chuan came for her . ”Ah Chuan,” Liu Qiyue whispered .

When her childhood sweetheart rushed here to save her despite the demon invasion, Liu Qiyue could only feel a sweet warmth in her heart . Many thoughts ran through her mind, but the pain in her body made her aura weaker .

The forbidden Godfiend spells dealt too much damage to her body . Fortunately, she hadn’t used them for too long . If it had been any longer, she wouldn’t just be aching .

“Kill this group of demons . ” Dean Zhong attacked the lieutenant commanders inside Blazing Sun Castle, forcing them to dodge immediately . The archers from before couldn’t threaten them, but they didn’t dare to belittle Dean Zhong’s arrows . If they were hit, they would either be severely injured or dead .

“Fire!”

“Kill them!”

The ballistae that were used to pin down the commanders turned and aimed at the demons that were inside Blazing Sun Castle .

The long spear-like bolts fired . At close range, even the lieutenant commanders had to dodge . Many greater and lesser demons were simply penetrated .

Shoo! Shoo! Shoo!

Dean Zhong joined forces with the ballistae and killed a goat demon lieutenant commander .

Directing the forces that had been pinning down the commanders to the lieutenant commanders had better results . Commander Wyrm’s death had greatly affected the demons’ morale . Many demons wondered if they should retreat . If Commander Ox died as well, that terrifying human would probably turn his sights on them .

In Blazing Sun Castle, the humans’ resistance grew stronger, and the morale of the demons fell precipitously . Instantly, the humans held the upper hand .

…

Meng Chuan had been keeping tabs on the situation in Blazing Sun Castle . He heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the humans gaining the upper hand . However, the pale and weak Qiyue worried him .

“Human?” Commander Ox looked at him solemnly .

“Are you ready to die?” asked Meng Chuan as he held his saber . He didn’t dare underestimate the commander . When he killed Commander Wyrm, the green dragon scales had been extremely tough . If he hadn’t used the Power of the Soul, he wouldn’t have been able to cleave through them . This made him poignant—demons had great physical advantages over humans .

Ordinary demons were much stronger than humans . The bodies of these demon commanders were even more terrifying .

However, he could still kill them .

“Human, I can sense that your aura is still that of a mortal’s,” Commander Ox said in a deep voice . “But that strike of yours was terrifying . Are you a human Godfiend who has deliberately concealed your aura?”
