Chapter 199: First Battle
Liu Qiyue held an ancient bow and carried a quiver on her back. A pair of dazzling flaming wings spread out, causing her to float in the air. She was about a kiloter away from the battlefield.
A kiloter was sufficiently safe and suitable for Liu Qiyue to unleash her prowess.
Chi! Chi! Chi!
Liu Qiyue coldly looked down and strung three flaming arrows. With the storage bag containing extra arrows, Liu Qiyue focused on the power of her arrows instead of conserving arrows.
When she strung her bow, ng Chuan transford into a bolt of lightning and swooped down.
Liu Qiyue and ng Chuan! Demon Monarch Cat’s expression changed. Archean Mountain only had about 1000 Great Solar Godfiends, and the truly terrifying ones numbered just over a hundred. ng Chuan, Liu Qiyue, Xue Feng, Yang Fang, Zhang Yunfeng, and so on were on the list! Liu Qiyue was one of the three most threatening Great Solar Godfiends because once she used Phoenix’s Nirvana, she had the combat strength of a Marquis Godfiend.
However, Phoenix’s Nirvana burned her lifespan, so she wouldn’t use the technique unless she was desperate.
“Senior Brother ng.” The purple-robed woman, the silver-armored man, and the other Godfiends felt relieved. They could be saved now!
Swoosh.
With a flash of lightning, ng Chuan rushed towards the demon monarchs.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Liu Qiyue had shot out three arrows as she stared at the demon monarchs with ice-cold eyes. The three flaming arrows were faster than ng Chuan.
“Join forces and kill ng Chuan,” shouted Demon Monarch Cat via voice transmission. “Otherwise, none of us will escape here alive! Trap him.”
A thin tree demon monarch stood still as tree roots, branches, and vines drilled out from the ground and swirled towards ng Chuan.
The mont ng Chuan closed in, a black baneful aura spread out from his body. ng Chuan’s baneful aura appeared illusory, but it was extrely cold. The six demon monarchs’ bodies trembled when the baneful aura touched them. Only Demon Monarch Cat remained unaffected by it while the other five demon monarchs were weakened. The roots, branches, and vines froze, becoming much slower.
“Die.” ng Chuan knew his strength well. Normally, he would be unable to kill these six demon monarchs easily. Thus, he didn’t hesitate to fuse the Power of Essence Soul with his Quintessential Essence, boosting his strength to the threshold of a Marquis Godfiend. ng Chuan split into eight identical figures as they attacked the six demon monarchs simultaneously.
The black baneful aura provided him cover as his terrifying saber beams flew towards the demon monarchs.
Not good. With the fusion of the Powerful of Essence Soul and Quintessential Essence, this strike made everyone—including Demon Monarch Cat—feel fear.
Pfft! Pfft!
ng Chuan killed two demon monarchs the mont the saber beams struck them. Liu Qiyue shot dead one demon monarch and injured two other demon monarchs. Since they were busy dealing with ng Chuan’s saber beams, Liu Qiyue’s arrows had miraculous results thanks to ng Chuan’s baneful aura blocking the demon monarchs’ sight.
Only Demon Monarch Cat remained safe and sound.
Not good. Demon Monarch Cat was lucky to dodge the attacks. Without any false pretense of hope, he imdiately fled from the scene.
Pfft. Pfft.
After fusing his Quintessential Essence with the Power of Essence Soul, ng Chuan’s strength was close to that of a Marquis Godfiend. With his speed, he easily killed the injured demon monarchs.
What do I do? What do I do? I can’t be faster than ng Chuan. The escaping Demon Monarch Cat suddenly realized that four arrows were heading towards him. The arrows were as fast as shooting stars. When they ca close, they suddenly changed directions and blocked his path.
It forced Demon Monarch Cat to slow down, allowing ng Chuan to catch up.
I can’t escape underground or fly. What do I do? Demon Monarch Cat was extrely anxious. Fleeing? There was no way he could compete with ng Chuan’s speed.
“Die!” ng Chuan slashed out with his saber.
The mont Demon Monarch Cat turned his head, the third eye at his glabella blinked, causing invisible waves to shoot towards ng Chuan.
ng Chuan’s Quintessential Essence barrier around his body was useless as the invisible waves penetrated his head, affecting the insides of his head.
Oh? ng Chuan felt a stabbing pain in his head. Great Solar Godfiends’ bodies had undergone a transformation when they first advanced into the Great Solar realm. Their bodies were naturally different from mortal bodies. Even the head—which was usually weak and easy to pierce—had beco extrely tough. However, against Demon Monarch Cat’s invisible attack, the pain in their head would usually cause Great Solar Godfiends to lose control of their bodies.
However, ng Chuan had attained the Diamond Body. Every single particle in his body had been cultivated. He had beco extrely resilient and had a very tenacious lifeforce. Due to this, Demon Monarch Cat’s attack only caused a slight stabbing pain to ng Chuan, but it couldn’t affect his strength.
Whoosh. ng Chuan continued attacking without any delay, slashing out a saber beam.
“What?” Demon Monarch Cat was alard as his body twisted strangely, barely dodging the strike.
Liu Qiyue shot out three more flaming arrows from high above. The arrows flew down at high speed, much faster than ng Chuan’s saber beams. At similar technique realm and cultivation realm, arrows were much faster than other weapons; thus, posing a greater threat.
After Demon Monarch Cat dodged ng Chuan’s saber, he had to dodge three arrows.
“Oh?” ng Chuan executed the Heart Saber Stance, sending a saber beam—which would result in the Yin-Yang blast—at Demon Monarch Cat.
The saber beam and the three arrows arrived virtually at the sa ti.
Demon Monarch Cat’s body strangely twisted as he dodged the saber beam and two arrows. However, one arrow pierced through his body. Demon Monarch Cat continued to escape frantically, but after being hit by an arrow, his speed had clearly decreased. He couldn’t withstand ng Chuan’s next strike.
No! The saber sliced through his body amidst his indignant, frenzied escape.
Chi! Chi! Chi~ Lifeblood surged out from Demon Monarch Cat’s corpse into Demon Slayer. In seconds, his corpse was reduced to dust.
It managed to dodge two strikes in a row despite being so close to ? It was only because of Qiyue’s help that I managed to kill it with the third strike. ng Chuan watched Demon Monarch Cat turn to dust in surprise. In terms of speed, it’s inferior to , but the variations in its movents are much better than mine.
Demon Monarch Cat’s entire body was like a boneless blanket, agile and unpredictable.
ng Chuan took the items left behind by Demon Monarch Cat. Since it had a divine power, it might be a demon sage descendant. Maybe it has so good treasures like Demon Monarch White Fox.
...
Liu Qiyue landed on the ground, and ng Chuan ca to her side.
“Senior Brother ng, Senior Sister Liu.” The purple-robed woman and the other Godfiends were extrely grateful for their tily help. “If it weren’t for both of you, we would have died under Demon Monarch Cat’s claws.”
“With your strength, I believe you could still hold out for a little longer,” said ng Chuan with a smile.
“That Demon Monarch Cat’s divine power was extrely difficult to deal with. Just one blink of its third eye makes one feel a throbbing headache. There’s no way to resist it,” said the silver-armored man with a smile. “As for Senior Brother ng, you managed to pursue it without giving it a chance to fight back. It’s really impressive how you killed it with just a few strikes.”
“Demon Monarch Cat was indeed powerful. If not for Senior Brother ng and Senior Sister Liu, the four of us wouldn’t have survived.” The purple-robed woman also smiled. She was naturally happy to have survived. Besides, the six demon monarchs were now dead.
ng Chuan and Liu Qiyue exchanged glances. ng Chuan said, “The demon monarchs have been eliminated. I’ll leave the matters here to you.”
“Don’t worry, Senior Brother ng.” said the four Godfiends imdiately.
With that, ng Chuan left with Liu Qiyue as a bolt of lightning and disappeared into the horizon.
“Senior Brother ng and his wife are indeed powerful.” The purple-robed woman sighed in amazent. “One can shoot arrows from far away. Unless it’s an avian demon monarch, most demon monarchs won’t be able to touch Senior Sister Liu. The other fights in close combat. Senior Brother ng and two other senior brothers once joined forces to kill a fourth Firmant Skydemon. Now, from the looks of it, he’s indeed extraordinary when it cos to lee combat. Even Demon Monarch Cat couldn’t withstand a few strikes.”
“He’s naturally capable if he can kill a fourth Firmant Skydemon with help.”
“Senior Sister Cheng, you also mastered a transcendent-grade Godfiend Body. In the future, you will also be comparable to Senior Brother ng.”
“That’s right. If not for Senior Sister Cheng, the three of us would have been killed by Demon Monarch Cat a long ti ago,” said another Godfiend.
The purple-robed woman was the captain of their team. She cultivated a transcendent-grade Godfiend body and had achieved peak Sword Soul. She was considered very powerful. Of course, ng Chuan was stronger than her thanks to the Black tal Sutra, Diamond Body, and Essence Soul.
...
It was an easy reinforcent.
The couple returned with a good mood.
“Our first rescue together outside our designated area went so smoothly,” said Liu Qiyue with a smile. “We saved the Godfiends and killed all the demon monarchs.”
“This is just the minority.” ng Chuan explained, “According to my past experiences as a Patroller, a number of Godfiends would have already died by the ti I arrived. Those four were pretty powerful. They only survived because they cooperated well enough.”
“Yes.” Liu Qiyue nodded. She had less experience than ng Chuan.
“However, our teamwork is indeed good,” said ng Chuan with a smile. With his wife’s arrows, it was much easier for him to attack in close proximity. “Without your help, we mightn’t have killed all the demon monarchs if they had fled in all directions.”
Liu Qiyue smiled and said, “Apart from Demon Monarch Cat, the other demon monarchs weren’t that strong. I only shot a few arrows.”
“There will be plenty of opportunities in the future,” said ng Chuan.
As the couple chatted, they continued heading towards Gu Mountain Prefecture.
