Chapter 184: Greater Demon Monarch Zhuang Fu

“There are only three demon monarchs left in Changfeng Prefecture, but many have died to their hands.”

“That Demon Monarch Snake has divine powers. It can spit out poisonous fog. Even Senior Brother Fan Congqi was instantly killed.”

“No G.o.dfiend could withstand a single strike from Demon Monarch Snake.” The G.o.dfiends immediately informed Zhang Yunfeng and Meng Chuan about the enemies. They were afraid of their two famous senior brothers—Meng Chuan and Zhang Yunfeng—being defeated.

“No G.o.dfiend can withstand a single strike?” Meng Chuan and Zhang Yunfeng exchanged glances. “Senior Brother Zhang, there’s something amiss. Although Senior Brother Fan Congqi only cultivated a high-grade G.o.dfiend body, he has also reached the Realm of Dao. Even if we join forces, we won’t be able to kill him in one strike.”

“Is this snake demon’s poisonous fog really that powerful, or is there something else going on here?” Zhang Yunfeng carefully inspected the black fog.

The black fog covered a radius of half a kilometer around the snake demon. It made it very difficult for outsiders to see what was within.

Suddenly, the screams of mortals—coming from inside the black fog—caused Meng Chuan and Zhang Yunfeng’s expressions to change.

“I’ll take action first.” Zhang Yunfeng’s domain instantly enveloped the area. With him as the center, the kilometer-wide white domain trapped the three demon monarchs.

Boom!

The black fog was incomparably tough, but it collapsed under the white domain.

Not good. Demon Monarch Snake was alarmed. The reason why Greater Demon Monarch Zhuang Fu had chosen him was because of how powerful his domain was. It was extremely difficult for Great Solar G.o.dfiends to collapse his domain. Only by relying on his domain could he completely cover up Greater Demon Monarch Zhuang Fu’s a.s.sa.s.sinations and existence.

But now, his domain had actually collapsed?

The white domain enveloped the three demon monarchs. Demon Monarch Snake, Demon Monarch Rhinoceros, and Demon Monarch Mantis were trapped within the white domain; their bodies turned extremely heavy—as if they were squeezed from every direction.

Pfft. The slightly weaker Demon Monarch Mantis couldn’t help but cough out blood due to the domain’s pressure.

“It’s Meng Chuan and Zhang Yunfeng.” Demon Monarch Snake wriggled his body, but he struggled to move. “Zhang Yunfeng specializes in domains. This domain is too powerful.”

“I don’t even have 10% of my strength left.” Demon Monarch Rhinoceros felt the immense pressure as he stood still. He could barely take a step, but this speed was too slow.

“This domain can crush me to death.” Demon Monarch Mantis grew even more anxious. “How can a Great Solar G.o.dfiend have such a powerful domain?”

The intelligence they had on Great Solar G.o.dfiends mentioned little of Zhang Yunfeng. They only knew that he cultivated the Indestructible Divine Body—which was best at domains. They also knew that he could affect fourth Firmament demon monarchs’ strength.

That was all the information they had. Only after experiencing Zhang Yunfeng’s domain personally would one realize how terrifying this domain was.

In fact, this domain halved the strength of a fourth Firmament Skydemon, Blackwater Palace Lord! Even third Firmament elite demon monarchs would be crushed to death if their physical bodies were too weak.

The demon monarch that killed Junior Brother Fan instantly shouldn’t be this weak. With a thought, Zhang Yunfeng condensed nine sword beams within his domain, forming the Nine Absolutes Sword Formation.

The nine sword beams first attacked Demon Monarch Mantis. Having already spat out blood, Demon Monarch Mantis forcefully brandished his saber legs, but the sword beams were too ethereal and unpredictable. They attacked from all directions, forming an array formation. It was very difficult to block them.

“No—” Demon Monarch Mantis wanted to request for help but was unable to do so in time. The sword beams instantly sliced through his body, killing him on the spot. Zhang Yunfeng didn’t show any mercy. This horrified the nearby Demon Monarch Rhinoceros and Demon Monarch Snake.

“Your Majesty, save me!” Demon Monarch Rhinoceros reeled in anxiety.

“Your Majesty, if you don’t do something, we’ll be finished.” Demon Monarch Snake was also anxious, but he didn’t dare expose Greater Demon Monarch Zhuang Fu’s existence. If he exposed Zhuang Fu’s existence and caused their plan to fail, Zhuang Fu would definitely not spare them.

…

Deep underground.

As part of Scorpion Demon Sage’s Zhuang family, Zhuang Fu was very talented when it came to burrowing underground.

What a powerful domain! Zhuang Fu carefully probed the outside world. I can’t use the snake demon’s domain to ambush them. Zhuang Fu moved underground and rapidly approached Meng Chuan and Zhang Yunfeng.

Meng Chuan and Zhang Yunfeng? A delighted look flashed across Zhuang Fu’s face. Very good. Although Zhang Yunfeng is old, he is very strong. After the humans abandon the small- and medium-sized city pa.s.ses, a large number of demon monarchs will enter the human world. Zhang Yunfeng can ma.s.sacre many demon monarchs with his strength. Killing him earlier will be a huge contribution.

As for Meng Chuan, he has a perfected Lightning Devastator Fiend Body—one that appears once every few centuries. He’s already this powerful at such a young age. He has a high chance of becoming a Marquis G.o.dfiend. Killing him would result in more credit than killing Zhang Yunfeng.

After killing the two of them, Archean Mountain will also sense that something is amiss. I need to change locations if I want to continue ambus.h.i.+ng G.o.dfiends.

Zhuang Fu was very pleased. Meng Chuan and Zhang Yunfeng were more important than dozens of average Great Solar G.o.dfiends.

Whoosh.

He rapidly approached Meng Chuan and Zhang Yunfeng. However, traveling underground was slower than traveling aboveground.

Whoosh. After the Nine Absolute sword beams killed Demon Monarch Mantis, they continued flying towards Demon Monarch Rhinoceros.

“Have mercy!” Demon Monarch Rhinoceros’s voice was deep as he begged for mercy. He knew that if Demon Monarch Mantis could be instantly killed, he would also be easily killed.

“I’m willing to submit and bow.” Demon Monarch Rhinoceros wanted to stall for time, giving Greater Demon Monarch Zhuang Fu time for the ambush.

Submit? Zhang Yunfeng sensed Demon Monarch Rhinoceros begging inside his domain. He was only a third Firmament demon monarch and wasn’t capable of flight. He didn’t have divine powers, so he was of zero value.

The nine sword beams did not stop as they flew towards Demon Monarch Rhinoceros.

“Your Majesty! Help me!” Demon Monarch Rhinoceros took the initiative to cry out when facing death. He kept requesting help through his ident.i.ty token, but Zhuang Fu didn’t come at all. Demon Monarch Rhinoceros burned with anxiety!

As for keeping Zhuang Fu’s existence a secret? Why would he bother keeping the greater demon monarch’s existence a secret when he was about to die?

If you don’t show yourself, I’ll force you to appear! Therefore, Demon Monarch Rhinoceros frantically shouted, “Your Majesty, save me!”

This cry really allowed him to live a little longer.

The nine sword beams came to a halt.

Zhang Yunfeng was the first to hear Demon Monarch Rhinoceros’s cries through the domain. Meng Chuan heard it a little later; this was because the voice needed to travel half a kilometer before reaching him.

“Your Majesty? Help?” Zhang Yunfeng’s expression changed as he hurriedly sent a voice transmission to Meng Chuan: “Run!!!”

Run? Seeing Senior Brother Zhang’s anxious expression, Meng Chuan didn’t even think before acting. He instinctively grabbed Zhang Yunfeng and leaped away in a bolt of lightning.

After he jumped up, a phantom drilled out from underground and stabbed at Meng Chuan and Zhang Yunfeng. However, being extremely fast, the duo had already moved far away.

d.a.m.n it. Zhuang Fu gritted his teeth in anger as he unburrowed himself. He glared venomously at Demon Monarch Rhinoceros in the distance. His speed when traveling underground was slower than moving aboveground, which was why he barely reached the duo before Demon Monarch Rhinoceros exposed him.

He was just short of killing the two G.o.dfiends! He was short by a little!

The distant Demon Monarch Rhinoceros didn’t care. Any later and he would have died. As for failing to a.s.sa.s.sinate the G.o.dfiends? It wasn’t as important as his life.

“Let’s leave quickly. These two G.o.dfiends are extremely powerful,” said Demon Monarch Rhinoceros via voice transmission.

“Yes.” Demon Monarch Snake was afraid as well.

After escaping, I’ll pledge allegiance to others. The humans will abandon all small and medium-sized city pa.s.ses soon. A large number of demon monarchs will enter the human world. As long as I avoid Greater Demon Monarch Zhuang Fu, I’ll be able to live an abject life. The only thought in Demon Monarch Rhinoceros’s mind was about his survival.

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft…

However, the nine swords that had been hovering in midair suddenly flew over.

Demon Monarch Rhinoceros was alarmed, but he was unable to block the nine exquisite sword beams. The sword beams quickly pierced his body, boring a gaping hole in his head. His ma.s.sive body collapsed to the ground.

To Zhang Yunfeng, killing Demon Monarch Rhinoceros was a breeze.

The nine sword beams continued their attack as they flew towards Demon Monarch Snake.

Fool. Zhuang Fu looked at Demon Monarch Rhinoceros’s corpse and then at Meng Chuan and Zhang Yunfeng—who were both standing on a damaged roof.

A fourth Firmament demon monarch. Meng Chuan and Zhang Yunfeng looked at Zhuang Fu solemnly.
