Chapter 340 Always My Brother

Xue Feng was a peerless genius of Archean Mountain. When Meng Chuan first entered Archean Mountain, his name had already spread throughout the world. In the World Gap, Meng Chuan had seen Xue Feng’s talent and love for his younger brother, Yan Jin. This made Meng Chuan find him a very agreeable person.

Such a Godfiend died just like that? Demon monarch. Meng Chuan suddenly moved and approached the yellow-robed man; he moved 7.5 kilometers in a second.

Its strength is probably above King Calm Sea; its strength might even be approaching that of King True Martial. Many thoughts surfaced in Meng Chuan’s mind. An existence at this level can unleash extremely powerful attacks within a five-kilometer radius. King Calm Sea can attack from 50 kilometers away, but the strength of his attacks drastically declines. Furthermore, I’m capable of dodging sword beams that appear out of the void with my speed.

King True Martial’s True Martial domain can unleash his maximum strength within a 2.5-kilometer radius. Beyond 5 kilometers, the strength behind his attacks will be greatly reduced. Any further and the threat should be very low. Its long-distance attacks are clearly inferior to that of King Calm Sea.

When dealing with this demon monarch, the five-kilometer radius around it is a forbidden zone. I have a defensive stone talisman. I can take some risks. I’ll stay 10 kilometers away from it and deliberately bait it into attacking me. If I can stall for enough time, Archean Mountain’s reinforcements might arrive. This was the only way Meng Chuan could immediately seek revenge.

Huh? After the yellow-robed man killed Xue Feng, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. Following that, he saw Meng Chuan approaching from afar. A mere Marquis Godfiend dares to provoke me with his movement technique? Forget it. Meng Chuan’s value isn’t inferior to that of Xue Feng. I’ll kill him as well. The yellow-robed man stood still and waited for the right opportunity. I can unleash 60% of my strength from five kilometers away. It’s enough to kill him.

Whoosh.

Meng Chuan deliberately maintained his speed of 7.5 kilometers per flash. After flying for six seconds, he arrived in midair—10 kilometers away from the yellow-robed man

—and stopped. “Who are you?” Meng Chuan stood in midair and shouted coldly at the yellow-robed man.

He stayed 10 kilometers away from me? The yellow-robed man frowned. His figure phased away. Meng Chuan opened his Divine Eye of Lightning at the center of his brows. His electromagnetic domain spanned a 15-kilometer radius. Electromagnetic waves swept in all directions. They also swept across the yellow-robed man, revealing his location. The yellow-robed man was rapidly approaching Meng Chuan. Oh? Meng Chuan wore a nervous look as he immediately used his movement technique to retreat.

The yellow-robed man frowned. What incredible speed. He struck out with his saber, slashing out a saber beam.

The saber beam transformed into a surging river as the death aura rushed over. Both Meng Chuan’s body and Essence Soul felt uncomfortable even though he was 9 kilometers away. He felt like he had been dragged into a world of death. However, he managed to withstand it.

Meng Chuan executed his movement technique and moved unpredictably.

The saber beam streaked past Meng Chuan’s body. Meng Chuan looked like he was struggling to resist the aura of death as he continued his facade.

Thirty seconds are up. The yellow-robed man remained extremely calm. Time to leave. Without any hesitation, he swooped down and burrowed underground. Only a voice echoed in the world. “Marquis Clear Peace, Xue Feng, is just the beginning.”

It fled? In midair, Meng Chuan scanned the surroundings with his electromagnetic domain. He didn’t dare to go underground.

I have to be within 1.5 kilometers of the demon monarch if I want to tail it underground. With its strength, it can kill me with a single strike if I am within 1.5 kilometers. Meng Chuan had seen the might of the saber strike.

Meng Chuan was already alarmed by the attack’s aura from 9 kilometers away. To go within 1.5 kilometers of that demon monarch? That was a death wish. Archean Mountain only had one such protective stone talisman. Archean Mountain didn’t give it to Regis Godfiends or anyone else. It was given directly to Meng Chuan.

He couldn’t be rash. After standing in midair for a few seconds, Meng Chuan turned his head and saw a dark stream of light flying over. It moved over 10 kilometers in a second.

It’s Supremacy Li Guan’s Essence Soul avatar. Meng Chuan recognized it at a glance. An Essence Soul avatar isn’t burdened by a body. It’s said that it can fly even faster than the true body.

For example, Quintessential Essence threads —which were pure energy-were extremely fast, far faster than Meng Chuan. An Essence Soul avatar wasn’t restrained by a body, so it was much faster than the true body. However, its strength was inferior to the actual body.

“The demon monarch has left?” The dark figure flew to Meng Chuan’s side and stopped. It was Li Guan’s Essence Soul avatar.

“It fled 15 seconds ago,” said Meng Chuan.

“I’ve already used a treasure and arrived in less than 30 seconds, yet I didn’t arrive in time.” Li Guan sighed softly. Through the token, he knew that Xue Feng had died.

“That demon monarch was very cautious. I tried to bait him into killing me. He only attacked me once before burrowing into the ground.” Meng Chuan pointed into the distance. “Xue Feng died there.”

The two flew to the spot in the wilderness. The only thing that could be seen was a ravine-left behind by the demon monarch’s saber beam. There were no traces of Xue Feng’s corpse. Nothing of it was left.

“Xue Feng had a protective treasure, but it actually failed to keep him alive for such a short period of time.” Li Guan sighed softly. “I’ll try to pry into spacetime now. Don’t disturb me.”

“Yes.” Meng Chuan nodded.

Li Guan stood there with his gaze unfocused. Through spacetime, he observed what had happened in that short period of time.

Scenes appeared. He saw what happened to Xue Feng. He saw Xue Feng and the yellow-robed man rushing underground, quickly pursuing Xue Feng. They finally rushed to the surface when Xue Feng’s defensive treasure’s power had been completely depleted. At that moment, Meng Chuan appeared 50 kilometers away and deliberately flared his aura to attract the demon monarch. However, the yellow-robed man continued to deliver that fateful strike at Xue Feng.

Whoosh. Whoosh. Yan Jin and Lu Cheng landed. The two of them had seen the battle from afar. They also saw Xue Feng being killed by the yellow-robed man.

“Junior Brother Xue didn’t want to implicate the mortals in the city or us. Therefore, he fled out of the city with all his might,” said Lu Cheng softly. Yan Jin looked at the ravine left behind by the saber beam in a daze.

“The murderer is Demon Sage Yellow Oscillate,” said Li Guan.

“Demon Sage Yellow Oscillate?” Meng Chuan, Yan Jin, and Lu Cheng memorized the name.

Lu Cheng asked, “Archean Mountain sent dossiers with information on demon sages. Shouldn’t Patriarch Yellow Oscillate have two horns and black scales on his body?”

“Since it has come to the human world, it’ll definitely hide the traces of its demon heritage and disguise itself as a human. The demon monarch’s appearance may have changed, but its moves haven’t,” said Li Guan. “It used the Stygian Saber Art. Only Patriarch Yellow Oscillate can use that saber art to such a level.”

Li Guan stood there and looked at the ravine. There was nothing left of Xue Feng’s body. “We can only make a cenotaph.” Li Guan shook his head gently. “In the past three years, the demon monarchs have attacked cities over and over again. Marquis Clear Peace, Xue Feng, is the sixth Marquis Godfiend who has died in battle. I’ll temporarily guard Windflow City. Archean Mountain will soon make new arrangements for Windflow City. Li Guan glanced at Lu Cheng and Yan Jin before transforming into a stream of light and flying towards Windflow City.

Lu Cheng gently patted Yan Jin’s shoulder and whispered, “Junior Brother Yan, my condolences. Since we were deployed to guard a city, all of us are prepared to die in battle. Junior Brother Xue died in battle while defending the city. He’s a hero.”

After saying that, he flew towards Windflow City. They were no longer children, so there was no need to say too much. Everyone had seen their fair share of tragedies since they involved themselves in the war.

Meng Chuan and Yan Jin stood in front of the ravine and watched as they mourned Xue Feng.

“Yan Jin.” Meng Chuan looked at the ravine in front of him and said, “Now that your brother is dead, there are some things that I should tell you.”

Yan Jin looked at Meng Chuan.

“That ice lotus flower was obtained by your brother. He wanted to give it to you, but because he was afraid you would refuse it, he got me to hand it to you and keep it a secret,” said Meng Chuan. “Now that he has passed away, I think you should know what he has done for you.”

“Mmm.” Yan Jin’s eyes turned slightly red as he whispered, “He’s my brother, always my brother. I’m blessed to be his younger brother.”

“He’s a hero,” said Meng Chuan. “It’s because of heroes like your brother that we can fend off the demons and protect all the humans in this world.”

Yan Jin looked at the ravine and said softly, “I’ll help him finish his unfinished business.”

Meng Chuan nodded. “I’ll be leaving first.” He transformed into lightning and left. Meng Chuan still had to continue his underground reconnaissance and kill demon monarchs.

Only Yan Jin remained outside the city. He stood alone in front of the ravine.
