172 Cold Rain

In the form of lightning, Meng Chuan rushed towards the southern wall. He exceeded his usual speed by unleashing all the lightning within his body. Although he was furious and anxious, he knew that he needed to reserve his Power of Essence Soul and forbidden spells for critical moments.

Many mortal humans rushed towards the nearest tunnels within the city. Everybody in the city knew that this battle wasn’t something they could help with when they saw the hundred-plus plumes of smoke originating from the city walls. It was suicidal to help in such situations.

Bang!

Boom!

Each tunnel had over 100 people sealed within after the mechanisms and traps were set up. Horrified, everybody within the tunnels waited for the invasion’s conclusion.

“Why would Jiang State Capital be attacked?”

Demon monarchs! Demon monarchs! Meng Chuan’s killing intent surged as he shuddered in anger. Meng Chuan looked into the distance—where he could sense the closest demonic auras. In that direction.

Swoosh.

Meng Chuan quickly rushed towards the battlefield, and from afar, he saw the ground shake violently. He arrived at the battlefield in a flash and saw a 20-foot-tall wolf demon monarch exited a tunnel with his body bent over. The tunnel had completely collapsed., so the outcome of those hiding within the tunnels didn’t need description.

The wolf demon monarch saw a figure clad in lightning as he exited the tunnel.

Godfiend? Demon Monarch Wolf jolted in fear. Second Firmament demon monarchs were cannon fodder during this invasion.

Boom!

Meng Chuan waved his hand, causing a saber beam to streak across the sky and behead Demon Monarch Wolf.

…

Meng Chuan was extremely sensitive when it came to auras. He sensed the eye-catching demonic auras erupting from demon monarchs as they slaughtered the city’s population wantonly.

“Senior Brother Meng,” shouted Li Ye when he saw Meng Chuan. Meng Chuan no longer had his disguise on.

“Why are you alone?” Meng Chuan frowned as he looked at Li Ye. Li Ye was not an Archean Mountain inner sect disciple but an outer sect disciple. However, he had reached the Great Solar realm. This meant that he could obtain some of Archean Mountain’s legacies and some basic armor and weapons.

“I was out for something. I never expected the demons to arrive so suddenly. When I saw them slaughtering everyone…” Li Ye hurriedly explained.

“Group up with the others and head to the city’s eastern quadrant. Leave the south to me.” Meng Chuan did not listen to him any further. Time was precious and could not be wasted on pointless chatter.

With a whoosh, Meng Chuan transformed into lightning and disappeared.

Li Ye did not say anything else. He also knew that it was wisest to group up with other Godfiends quickly when demon monarchs invade. However, after seeing demon monarchs slaughtering people and how he could save many people if he helped, what could he do? He instinctively went to fight off the demon monarchs. He had just killed a second Firmament demon monarch when he encountered Demon Monarch Scorpion and company.

With Senior Brother Meng around, the south will be safe. Li Ye held his Godfiend token, followed the indicators, and grouped up with the other Godfiends.

…

Jiang State Capital’s eastern quadrant.

The city was in a bleak state. Nobody could be seen on the wet streets. All mortal humans were hiding within the tunnels.
