Chapter 423: 423

Chapter 423 Hunter and Prey

Among the four demon monarchs in front of him, Holy Lady Strings was the most well-rounded . In a one-on-one battle, Meng Chuan would be at a disadvantage against her .

The mountain demon’s body was in no way inferior to Blood Shura’s . Back then, King True Martial was assisted by King Calm Sea’s influence on the flow of time, allowing him to unleash the Ten Absolutes of World Annihilation—which killed Blood Shurainstantly . Although Meng Chuan had unleashed his full strength, he only had slightly greater strength than King True Martial’s normal strength . His attacks were still somewhat inferior to the Ten Absolutes of World Annihilation .

As for Demon Monarch Quicksand—who could turn into black mud, giving him a virtually undying body-it was equally difficult to kill him .

Meng Chuan believed that he had the highest chance of killing Demon Monarch Mountain Splitter .

“Be careful . ” After the white-furred rat demon died, the black lotus flower formed by Holy Lady Strings’s Power of Essence Soul suddenly expanded, becoming the core of the black lotus formation .

One big black lotus and three small black lotuses .

Although they didn’t study the Mirage lineage, the five demon monarchs in Holy Lady Strings’s team had cultivated the Black Lotus mystic technique . The white-furred rat had the highest accomplishments . Holy Lady Strings ranked second . The two of them could be the core of the array formation . The other three demon monarchs had only scratched the surface of the technique . They could form small black lotuses with their companions’ help .

From the looks of it, my Essence Soul mystic technique has been exposed . From the beginning of the battle until now, they’ve been on the constant lookout for my Magic Awl . He had been trying to use his Magic Awl to sneak an attack on the weak Essence Souls, but he never had the chance .

He wasn’t confident that he could crack the Black Lotus mystic technique maintained by Cave Lord White Azure . Likewise, he didn’t have the confidence of cracking the Black Lotus mystic technique cast by Holy Lady Stringswho had a sixth-level Essence Soul . The Magic Awl Forbidden Spell was a double-edged sword . Once it failed to break through one’s Essence Soul defenses, it would shatter, severely injuring his Essence Soul .

Demon Monarch Mountain Splitter . Meng Chuan wasn’t fazed . With Meng Chuan’s terrifying speed, he instantly arrived beside Demon Monarch Mountain Splitter . The other demon monarchs didn’t have time to rescue him .

Although he was being encircled, Meng Chuan could easily deal with his enemies with his terrifying speed . It was impossible for the enemies to form a true encirclement .

“He’s too fast . ” The demon monarchs were helpless against Meng Chuan’s speed .

Whoosh .

A saber beam lit up as it slashed towards the hunchbacked demon monarch . The hunchbacked demon monarch had six arms . His saber art had reached the Grotto-Heaven realm .

However, Meng Chuan’s saber art was fast to begin with . With the augmentation of his divine power-Flowing Sand-it was ten times faster . This speed had already exceeded the speed at which demonic power could emanate . When an object’s speed reached a certain level, there was no way to intercept it .

Reaching the limits of an aspect gave one truly terrifying combat prowess . For example, although the Golden Lotus Descent technique in Star Cluster Building was a Creation-level technique, it could kill an Imperial Lord when it reached the perfected Grotto-Heaven realm! This was the heaven-defying strength one gained once they reached the limits of a certain aspect .

Humph . The hunchbacked demon monarch could only let out a low grunt . A golden light appeared on his skin . He could only rely on his defensive powers to withstand the attack .

Pfft .

When one reached a certain speed, they would be suppressed by the laws of Heaven and Earth . The faster they were, the greater the suppression . Therefore, speed corresponded to strength . The Bloodblades were already extremely fast . After being accelerated by Meng Chuan’s electromagnetic domain, their speed increased by 60%, increasing their strength by several-fold .

Meng Chuan’s saber seemed to be ten times faster than before, but in reality, the saber was still moving at its normal speed . In terms of strength alone, his saber art didn’t experience any improvements . However, he could deliver ten consecutive strikes in the same amount of time it would usually take him to deliver one attack .

At that moment, the saber beam struck the golden light that surrounded the hunchbacked demon monarch’s body . He barely withstood the attack after combining his demonic power with the Grotto-Heaven realm’s profundities .

Meng Chuan’s saber strike didn’t increase in strength, but his Blood Droplet realm body gave him strength and speed that was greater than that of Blood Shura and the mountain demon . The saber strike still caused the hunchbacked demon monarch’s protective golden light to coruscate .

Following that, the second strike landed at the same spot . It shattered the protective golden light and left a wound on the mountain demon . When the third strike arrived, the hunchbacked demon monarch’s protective golden light had recovered .

Your attacks are too weak . The hunchbacked demon monarch heaved a sigh of relief . At the same time, he struck out with his six sabers .

Meng Chuan’s figure blurred as he easily dodged the saber beams .

Boom!

Suddenly, dazzling lightning erupted from Meng Chuan’s body .

Divine power—Heaven’s Wrath!

“Be careful . ” The four demon monarchs’ hearts tightened . Cave Lord White Azure had died to a bolt of lightning . Demon Monarch Mountain Splitter-who was closest to Meng Chuan-was even more nervous .

The dazzling lightning bolt instantly struck the distant Holy Lady Strings .

Considering the speed of lightning and the fact that the four demon monarchs were within 15 kilometers of Meng Chuan, the lightning bolt struck all of them simultaneously, giving them no time to react . They could only rely on their own means to block the attack .

Boom!

When the lightning bolt struck Holy Lady Strings, a huge cocoon-formed from countless void threads-appeared around her . The huge void silk cocoon was about 30 feet tall . It protected Holy Lady Strings from the lightning’s constant attacks . It was one of Holy Lady String’s important defensive techniques . The lightning was invisible . Bolts of lightning passed through the tiny cracks in the silk threads and struck Holy Lady Strings .

Holy Lady Strings’s skin was covered in a protective white light . Though it seemed that it could withstand the lightning perfectly, in reality, her body turned numb .

auses

n

It causes my body to turn numb . My control over my body and my demonic powers have slowed down? Holy Lady Strings was secretly alarmed . At her level, it was very dangerous for her control to slow down .

Huh? Holy Lady Strings suddenly saw something .

From afar, six Bloodblades—which had already accelerated to their maximum speedsattacked!

From the beginning of the battle, the Bloodblades—which Meng Chuan had released —constantly accelerated within his electromagnetic domain . They circled him again and again . As the distance of eight full circles around Meng Chuan was considerable, even though the Bloodblades were fast, it was only until now that the six Bloodblades reached their maximum speed . Every one of them was as strong as a top Creation realm expert’s attack .

As he executed Heaven’s Wrath, the six Bloodblades followed suit . At this moment, Holy Lady Strings’s control over her body and demonic power had slowed down .

Experts seized critical moments when they fought .

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Meng Chuan maintained Flowing Sand . Although this divine power couldn’t affect the speed of his Bloodblades, Meng Chuan’s mind moved ten times faster than before . Due to Meng Chuan’s faster mind, he could control the Bloodblades more precisely as they flew around the void threads, dodging them with ease . This was also a reason why the void threads’ interception speed had slowed down .

Six consecutive strikes .

When the Bloodblades struck the gigantic void silk cocoon around Holy Lady Strings, the Bloodblades’ might weakened due to the dense amount of void threads that formed the void silk cocoons . After slicing through a large number of threads, the Bloodblade’s might had been drained . The six Bloodblades blasted a huge hole in the void silk cocoon . However, many void threads flowed over to defend the void silk cocoon .

Even Peacock can’t kill me . You think you can do so with your six sabers? The numbness affecting Holy Lady Strings instantly disappeared . Holy Lady Strings controlled her void silkworm cocoon, easily blocking the attacks .

Boom!

Another dazzling bolt of lightning struck the hunchbacked demon monarch at close range . Blood appeared on the corner of the hunchbacked demon monarch’s mouth as his body turned numb .

He didn’t have time to react as a saber beamwhich made his heart palpitate—appeared in front of him .

It was fast and furious!

Pfft .

The hunchbacked demon monarch’s head flew up!

He pushed Heaven Earth Control and Flowing Sand to maximum strength! These two divine powers combined with Heaven’s Wrath to deliver this fatal sneak attack!

He had to succeed in one strike!

As for why he attacked Holy Lady Strings, it was because he wanted to figure out the other party’s strength before focusing his attacks on her . It was also because he wanted her to focus on protecting herself, stopping her from protecting the hunchbacked demon monarch . That way, the moment he revealed his fangs, his probability of success would be much greater! The second one is down . There are still three left . Meng Chuan was like a hunter as he patiently searched for his prey’s weaknesses .
