200 Passing By

Willow River Fort was an ordinary village fort in Wu State and had over 6000 villagers living in it. The fort was squarish in shape, with many dwellings inside. It was like an extremely large ant nest with many mechanisms and tunnels hidden down below! It would be very difficult for ordinary demons to attack it. Even if they breached the fort, it would be equally difficult to breach the individual tunnels.

“Lord Qian.”

“Lord Qian, good morning.”

“Greetings, Lord Qian.”

Qian Mo came to the market in the middle of the fort. He could see the sky here; the sun shone brightly. Therefore, the villagers were usually happy to come to the market. Merchants and hawkers in the fort gathered here.

The villagers addressed him respectfully as “Lord Qian” because the villagers knew that the Imperial Court had arranged for soldiers to be stationed at the fort. Lord Qian was the leader of those soldiers, so even the village chief had to be extremely respectful towards him.

In the fort, the relaxed villagers’ faces changed. They quickly rushed towards a nearby tunnel with their children.

Boom!

With a loud bang, a 20-foot-tall cyan-robed demon monarch appeared above the fort. A terrifying demonic aura emanated from it. His trotter suddenly descended, causing a roof to collapse with a loud thud as he stared down at the fort.

Whoosh. Whoosh.

Another two figures appeared above the fort. One a 50-foot-tall bear demon monarch, and the other a rat demon monarch—roughly the size of a human child.

Demon Monarch Bear’s body was covered with thick gray fur. He was nearly half the height of the entire fort. He dropped down to the fort. After it landed, he struck out in all directions. The huge fort trembled, and many places turned to rubble.

After destroying the buildings above, the demon monarchs could slaughter the mortals hidden in the tunnels below.

Demon Monarchs. Qian Mo restrained his aura and approached the top of the fort. He didn’t care about the collapse of many buildings around him. He easily withstood the collapse with his body without releasing his Quintessential Essence.

I’ll kill one with a sneak attack first. I’ll then have the confidence to kill the other two demon monarchs single-handedly. Qian Mo stared at the rat demon monarch. The cyan-robed demon monarch had hints of being the leader. The bear demon monarch had coarse skin and thick flesh, so it was clear that he would not be easily killed. The rat demon monarch’s body looked the weakest.

Qian Mo’s figure flashed as he dodged the terrifying bear paw. However, the cyan-robed demon monarch and the rat demon monarch had already reached him. The cyan-robed demon monarch’s sharp claws swiped at Qian Mo’s head.

Qian Mo used his two sabers to fight three demon monarchs alone. After struggling in battle for a while, Qian Mo felt that something was still amiss. He wasn’t afraid of the three second Firmament demon monarchs in a one-on-one fight. However, when the three of them worked together, it became difficult for him to fight them.

The rat demon monarch moved like a ghost. The bear demon monarch was domineering as he savagely attacked. The cyan-robed demon monarch’s attacks were sinister and difficult to deal with. When the three demon monarchs worked together, he could no longer fend them off with his two sabers. He felt like he was dancing on the edge of a blade. A single mistake would lead to him being torn apart by the three demon monarchs.

Run! Qian Mo leaped away.

Mmm? The three demon monarchs wanted to stop Qian Mo, but they realized that he was extremely fast.

“This Godfiend is quite fast.” Demon Monarch Bear was the clumsiest. Although Demon Monarch Rat was agile, its speed was incomparable to Qian Mo. Only the cyan-robed demon monarch could catch up to him. However, Qian Mo could fight a one-on-one battle while fleeing. The cyan-robed demon monarch was unable to stop him.

“Let’s kill the mortals!” The cyan-robed demon monarch roared angrily. “Since the Godfiend has fled, kill all the mortals here.”

“Kill the mortals and force him out,” shouted Demon Monarch Rat.

Boom!

Demon Monarch Bear had already taken action. He destroyed the ground in no time. With his surging demonic energy, he easily discovered a nearby tunnel. His paws peeled the ceiling to the tunnel open and revealed the dozens of terrified villagers inside.
