Chapter 203: Demon Monarch Fu Jiao
Of course, because of his son and daughter-in-law, Archean Mountain trusted ng Dajiang. Furthermore, he was the ng family clan leader. He had high prestige in Eastcalm Prefecture, and after years of cultivating the Body Tempering lineage, he had beco an Indestructible Godfiend. He had beco Earth Net’s highest-ranking mber in Eastcalm Prefecture. Liu Yebai joined forces with ng Dajiang and was in charge of investigating the demon monarchs in Eastcalm Prefecture.
...
“Kill!” Liu Qiyue spread her flaming wings and shot out arrows. ng Chuan used his movent technique to pursue his enemies and engage in close combat.
...
“We ca late.” ng Chuan and his wife stood in the ruins of a county city. They looked at the three corpses on the ground. Only one mber of the Godfiend team had escaped; the other three died.
Although the duo moved very fast, they still needed five minutes to travel hundreds of kiloters. With such ti on their hands, the demon monarchs could kill the Godfiends before the couple arrived.
...
“Another demon monarch.”
Smoke from a fire beacon billowed into the sky.
As Gu Mountain Prefecture’s Patroller, ng Chuan imdiately rushed over.
...
Ti passed. In the blink of an eye, the couple had spent eight months in Gu Mountain Prefecture. ng Chuan experienced more in these past eight months than when he was at North River Pass and Jiang State Capital. ng Chuan had also t all sorts of Godfiends.
Not every Godfiend was willing to sacrifice themselves for mortals. Not every Godfiend was extrely valiant. So were selfish and afraid of death.
When Earth Net’s Indestructible Godfiends patrolled, they would typically request Archean Mountain reinforcents when they encountered second Firmant demon monarchs attacking a village fort. They would silently distance themselves from it, unwilling to save the mortals. Indestructible Godfiends were completely capable of dealing with second Firmant demon monarchs. However, because of possibly dying in battle, an Indestructible Godfiend had secretly distanced himself from the scene. ng Chuan—who had been passing by—saw this very clearly.
When so Godfiend teams were in a dire situation, their teammates would desperately fight as they supported one another. There was an instance of a Godfiend fleeing while his companions held back the demon monarchs. His three companions died, but he managed to survive.
ng Chuan and his wife learned about this when they rushed over to kill the demon monarchs. It was when the demon monarchs were taunting them did they realize that the only Godfiend to survive from his team had abandoned his companions. ng Chuan and Liu Qiyue captured the two demon monarchs alive and had Earth Net send them to Archean Mountain for interrogation. Facing Archean Mountain’s skill in illusions, the Godfiend was unable to lie and was publicly executed!
If he had continued to fight with his three teammates, their team might’ve survived until the couple arrived. The Godfiend team could have survived. However, since he had fled, it led to his three teammates dying and to his execution.
During his execution, he shouted, “I only wanted to live. All I wanted was to stay alive. Why are you executing !?”
When ng Chuan learned of his fate, he wasn’t happy or angry, but sad. If the Godfiend continued living and entered a new Godfiend team, he would only harm his new teammates with his attitude.
Due to the sect’s rules, he had to be executed.
“Fool.”
“He caused the deaths of three Godfiends; yet, he wasn’t willing to admit his fault.”
ng Chuan drew this scene on a long scroll—the Godfiend who fled with a conniving smile. His three teammates fought with all their might as he secretly escaped alone...
ng Chuan despised him; therefore, the despicable Godfiend seed like a clown in the painting. There were more than one of such “ugly” Godfiends in ng Chuan’s painting. They were located at the corner of the painting, inconspicuous.
...
Late autumn in Wu State, a small county city in East Harbor Prefecture.
Smoke from the county city’s fire beacons rose as the city was devastated by three third Firmant demon monarchs wreaking havoc wantonly. Rain poured from the gloomy sky. In the tunnels, the county city’s mortals waited for help. One tunnel after another was discovered by the demon monarchs, leading to the demise of the mortals within.
This was a nightmare. After nearly 30 percent of the county city’s population was massacred, four streaks of light rushed over from afar.
“It’s three ordinary third Firmant demon monarchs.” The Godfiend team’s killing intent increased.
After experiencing heavy losses during the first large-scale probe, third Firmant demon monarchs began forming teams. Demon monarchs with divine powers led the most troubleso squads! Other demon monarchs teams were much less of a threat.
“Attack, don’t let any of them escape.”
“Kill them.”
The four Great Solar Godfiends were filled with killing intent. For the sake of the dead in the city, they had to kill these three demon monarchs. These four experienced Great Solar Godfiends quickly surrounded the three demon monarchs. The demon monarchs cast forbidden spells and tried to resist, but the massive difference in strength ant that they couldn’t last long against the Godfiends.
Unfortunately, there aren’t any geniuses among this Great Solar Godfiend team. In one of the county city’s restaurants—pinned down by a collapsed tree—a figure watched the battle from half a kiloter away. This gray-robed figure watched the battle silently from one of the restaurant’s rooms.
Forget it. Killing four Great Solar Godfiends is also considered a win. The gray-robed man stood up and blinked his eyes.
Two golden beams shot out from his pupils. The two golden beams left two faint traces in the void. The four Great Solar Godfiends—who were fighting in the distance—soon sensed the two golden beams approaching, but they had no ti to block them.
Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!
The golden beams penetrated the four Great Solar Godfiends’ glabellas. After doing their job, the two golden beams quickly disappeared from the scene as it streaked across the air. The golden beams returned to the gray-robed man’s eyes.
“Ti to leave.” The gray-robed man instantly vanished.
A distance away, the four Great Solar Godfiends collapsed weakly. Despair and disbelief colored their eyes. They were East Harbor Prefecture City’s guardians. For the past nine months, they had been silently protecting the city from demon monarchs. They had saved countless mortals and killed many demon monarchs.
However, the four of them now laid on the ground weakly. Two Godfiends were Archean Mountain inner sect disciples, while the other two were Archean Mountain outer sect disciples. All of them were Great Solar Godfiends.
...
About ten minutes later, a Regis Godfiend arrived.
For one to annihilate a Godfiend team instantly, one had to be a fourth Firmant threat at the very least. If a fourth Firmant and above threat appeared, the three supre sects would mobilize the strongest and closest Godfiends.
However, ten minutes was enough ti for the gray-robed man to flee the scene. Even the Regis Godfiend was helpless.
...
In a dark, underground palace.
“Hahaha!” The gray-robed man laughed as he took off his gray robe. He was none other than the single-horned demon monarch, Greater Demon Monarch Fu Jiao.
“Congratulations, Your Majesty,” said the demon monarchs in the hall obsequiously.
“I only killed four Great Solar Godfiends,” said Fu Jiao with a smile. “It’s nothing worth ntioning.”
The demon monarchs in the hall began flattering him.
“It’s only because the demon monarchs in the other prefectures are too useless. They killed so few Godfiends.”
“Your Majesty is truly impressive. You easily killed four Great Solar Godfiends.”
While sitting on his throne, Fu Jiao said, “You can’t bla the demon monarchs of the various prefectures. The Godfiends are very cautious, and the rescue teams quickly arrive once help is requested. On average, at least 30 to 40 demon monarchs in Wu State die to kill a Great Solar Godfiend. Such losses are unacceptable to the Demon Realm; thus, I must kill a few Great Solar Godfiends personally.”
The demon monarchs—in charge of gathering intelligence—praised his strength. They weren’t skilled at fighting.
“Sixty percent of the demon monarchs in each prefecture have died in the past year, but they’ve only killed four Great Solar Godfiends in total. Your Majesty killed four Great Solar Godfiends at once.”
“His Majesty is almighty!”
Fu Jiao waved his hand. “Everybody leave. Give so silence.”
“Yes,” said the demon monarchs respectfully before leaving the hall.
Fu Jiao pondered as he sat on his throne. The humans will definitely investigate my existence after this. They might even ambush . However, they can waste their ti looking for . I won’t attack again for the next two years. I’ll decide what I’ll do after two years have passed.
He wanted to kill Godfiends, but the humans wanted to kill demon monarchs. Their desire to kill was much stronger than his. To the demons, the death of a fourth Firmant demon monarch for ten Great Solar Godfiends’ deaths was worth it.
Only 27 fourth Firmant demon monarchs entered the human world during the first batch. For the three supre sects, sacrificing over 200 Great Solar Godfiends to take down these 27 fourth Firmant demon monarchs was very worth it.
However, the fourth Firmant demon monarchs were extrely cunning and slippery. They rarely appeared in public.
