Chapter 293 Arriving in Time

Marquis West Sea’s face was pale as he looked at his surroundings . Marquis Purple Rain lay dead on the ground . The area around him was in ruins, and a large number of mortals had died from the shockwaves .

Many Godfiends died in this war . It’s finally my turn today . Marquis West Sea had just exchanged blows with the fifth Firmament demon monarch and knew the difference in strength between them! In a one-on-one battle, he would lose his life in a few moves .

“You have only cultivated for 100 years . ” The azure-scaled demon monarch chuckled and said, “In the future, you can become stronger . As long as you consume this demon core, you will still remain as Marquis West Sea to the humans . The humans will have no idea of your betrayal . You will still be able to bask in glory . However, you will have to do something for the demons . When you humans are defeated in the future, you will lead your family clan to pledge allegiance to the demons; thus, enjoying wealth and power .

“In this world, as long as you treat yourself and your family clan well, isn’t that enough?” said the azure-scaled demon monarch as he smiled . “There’s a saying among you humans . Heaven destroys those who don’t look out for themselves!”

The azure-scaled demon monarch tried to persuade Marquis West Sea . A dead Marquis West Sea was worth limited credit . If Marquis West Sea submitted to the demons and became a spy in the human camp, it would be much better for the demons . He would earn many more credits than if he killed Marquis West Sea .

Marquis West Sea looked at the azure-scaled demon monarch . “Do it . ”

“I don’t understand . Isn’t it only right to bow your heads to the strong?” The azure-scaled demon monarch was puzzled . “We demons are much stronger than you humans . Why don’t you bow your heads?”

“Bow our heads?” Marquis West Sea looked at the azure-scaled demon monarch, laughed, and said, “It’s too stifling and frustrating to be a dog for the demons! As a Godfiend of this world, I will be upright and steadfast . I will not shame the heavens or the earth . How can I be a lackey for the demons?”

“Just because it’s stifling and frustrating?” said the azure scaled demon monarch in surprise .

“Just thinking about such a fate makes me unhappy,” said Marquis West Sea as he smiled . “It’s already been 30 seconds . Don’t waste your efforts . ” Marquis West Sea was already prepared to die . Death was inevitable since time immemorial . It was just a matter of when one would die .

At that moment, Marquis West Sea recalled his life . He was born in a Regis Godfiend family—the Yan family . He had been diligent and talented since he was young . He loved his wife greatly . Although his son, Yan Chitong, was more unruly than his father, his cultivation speed was faster than his father’s .

My dear wife, pardon me for being unable to accompany you any further .

“Thirty seconds are up . What a pity . ” The azure-scaled demon monarch shook his head gently as his figure suddenly moved .

Marquis West Sea’s eyelids twitched as madness appeared in his eyes . Although he was prepared to die, it didn’t mean that he wouldn’t resist! Instantly, he cast a forbidden Godfiend spell and used his sword arts to attack the incoming azure-scaled demon monarch .

Clang! Clang! Clang! The azure-scaled demon monarch only used his right claw to block the attacks . Every single nail on his right claw was extremely sharp . He easily parried the sword beam when he gently tapped on it .

He completely crushed Marquis West Sea in all aspects, be it strength, speed, or realm .

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Marquis West Sea instantly split into seven .

The azure-scaled demon monarch also moved . He kept staring at Marquis West Sea’s true body, easily fending off his attacks .

I will die, but we humans will definitely win this war . Marquis West Sea turned increasingly deranged . Huh? The azure-scaled demon monarch’s expression changed slightly as he noticed something a distance away in the corner of his eyes . An expert had entered his domain and was charging over .

Chi! Chi! Chi!

The void distorted and collapsed . A saber beam flew out from the distorted void, instantly arriving before the azure-scaled demon monarch .

Fast! It was inconceivably fast!

Meng Chuan specialized in swift saber arts; thus, his saber beams were naturally fast . Coupled with his divine power distorting the void, the saber beam could be said to have teleported in front of the azure-scaled demon monarch . A dark-red saber came closer to him . The azure-scaled demon monarch was a fifth Firmament demon monarch . Since he had reached the Dharma Domain realm, he was extremely sensitive to attacks . The saber caused black cracks to appear in the world, making his heart tighten .

The azure-scaled demon monarch moved his right claw—which had been approaching Marquis West Sea—to meet the stunning saber beam . The azure-scaled demon monarch’s claw was extremely gentle, more gentle than a lover’s caress . His five fingers were soft and boneless as they clashed with the saber beam .

Pfft .

The two parties split up immediately .

The lightning instantly retreated with Marquis West Sea in tow . Only then did Marquis West Sea’s savior reveal his appearance . It was Meng Chuan, who had rushed over at full speed . Meng Chuan’s glowing body caused the surrounding void to collapse and distort constantly .

“Marquis Eastcalm . ” Marquis West Sea looked at Meng Chuan in excitement and shock . Marquis West Sea felt repressed by Meng Chuan’s Indestructible Divine Armor .

“If I had come a little later, I wouldn’t have been able to save you, Marquis West Sea,” said Meng Chuan . He was rather glad that he arrived just as the azure-scaled demon monarch used his killer move . Marquis West Sea would’ve died in two or three moves . Thankfully, he managed to arrive in time and saved Marquis West Sea . It could be said that Marquis West Sea was quite lucky .

After all, he had arrived too late to save Marquis Purple Rain—who had died earlier .

Meng Chuan looked at Marquis Purple Rain’s corpse, and his heart ached . Another Marquis Godfiend had died in battle .

“Marquis Eastcalm, be careful of the fifth Firmament demon monarch . Its domain is unpredictable . Invisible threads will appear out of thin air . That’s how he killed Senior Brother Yu,” warned Marquis West Sea via voice transmission .

“Got it . ” Meng Chuan nodded slightly and looked at the azure-scaled demon monarch solemnly . Fifth Firmament demon monarch… This was the first time he was facing a fifth Firmament demon monarch! Although he had fought with Archean Mountain Lord, it hadn’t been a life-and-death battle .

“What a powerful saber move,” praised the azure-scaled demon monarch . “Marquis Eastcalm Meng Chuan, you really amaze me with your attainments in void manipulation . It looks like staying in Eastcalm City for 30 more seconds was the right decision . I met an expert like yourself . ”

Meng Chuan sent a voice transmission to Marquis West Sea . “Leave first . ”

“Alright . ” Marquis West Sea also understood that staying behind would only affect Meng Chuan . From the saber strike just now, this Marquis Eastcalm—who was about the same age as his son-definitely had the strength of a Regis Godfiend .

Swoosh .

Marquis West Sea instantly left .

The azure-scaled demon monarch couldn’t be bothered with him . Meng Chuan’s value was much higher than Marquis West Sea’s! The demons hated Meng Chuan to the core just after a few years of him acting as a reinforcement to everywhere in the Great Zhou Dynasty . This time, the demons had arranged for him to attack Eastcalm City secretly . They believed that Meng Chuan was likely to be stationed at Eastcalm City because it was his hometown .

“I was quite disappointed when I didn’t see you among the two Marquis Godfiends here . I never expected you to really come . ” The azure-scaled demon monarch looked at Meng Chuan with burning greed in his eyes . “It looks like you are destined to fall into my hands . ”

Meng Chuan calmly looked at him, but he wasn’t in a hurry to take action . Instead, he sensed Marquis West Sea’s departure . At the same time, he sent out a request for help through his token . It was the lowest level request for help! It indicated that he had encountered a powerful opponent and that everything was under control .

If his master-Supremacy Qin Wu—or any others had the time to rush over, they would be able to take down the fifth Firmament demon monarch easily . Meng Chuan was confident in dealing with this fifth Firmament demon monarch in a one-on-one battle, but he wasn’t confident in killing him .

Chi! Chi! Chi!

The azure-scaled demon monarch didn’t dare delay any further . He secretly started his attack . Threads-hidden in the voidapproached Meng Chuan . Although Meng Chuan possessed a Darkstar domain, an electromagnetic domain, an Essence Soul domain, and many other reconnaissance methods, he didn’t discover the threads approaching him in the void . These threads seemed to be a part of the void .
