Archean Eon Art Chapter 45

Chapter 45

Skydemon Sect’s Eastcalm Branch Master, Murong You, and Vice Branch Master, Tu Shang, were originally filled with confidence. They initially wanted to corner Meng Chuan from three sides and capture him alive.

But who would have thought the fleeing Meng Chuan would suddenly turn around and attack!

That strike was too amazing! The beautiful saber strike even formed a dazzling saber beam that was over 100 feet long! It killed their companion with a single slash.

Brother Gao died just like that? One strike? Tu couldn’t help but feel fear rising in his heart.

That saber strike. The white-browed man—Murong You—was equally alarmed. That strike was too fast and too sudden. Only I will be capable of blocking it. Brother Gao and Brother Tu aren’t able to defend against it. This Meng Chuan is only 17 years old this year! He used one strike to kill Brother Gao, who can release his demonic aura. What kind of monster is he?

This Meng Chuan is too strong. He’s no weaker than the legendary geniuses. Tu was flustered. Meng Chuan was simply too powerful, so powerful that it was inconceivable. Indeed, such terrifying geniuses were only found in legends.

“Meng Chuan, Meng Chuan…” The hunchbacked man, who only had his upper torso left, grabbed the ground with his claws. He was tenacious, and he continued to stare at Meng Chuan. For an expert like him, he could still stay alive for a while despite his body being cut in two.

Instead of fleeing, Meng Chuan stopped and looked at the hunchbacked man.

Pfft.

With a blade flash, a red dot appeared between the hunchbacked man’s eyebrows. Only then did his eyes widen, and pupils dilate. His arms collapsed limply and did not make another sound.

Following which, Meng Chuan’s gaze landed on Tu, and he spoke softly, “It’s your turn.” After speaking, his figure blurred as he dashed towards Tu. Meng Chuan had been acting all along.

It was due to lacking choices.

He determined that the white-browed man was extremely powerful from his aura, much more powerful than his father or Uncle Liu. Even if he used all of his strength and fused the Power of the Soul, he didn’t have the confidence to deal with him at all. Therefore, he decided to kill the weaker enemies one by one! He deliberately fled towards the hunchbacked man and baited him into chasing.

The Saber Drawing Stance’s speed was actually secondary. His plan was a psychological strategy. It was to trick his enemies into believing they could capture him easily. The moment the opponent was about to catch up, he drew his saber!

It was completely unexpected. The enemy would be caught off-guard. And at that defenseless moment—a split-second—the saber beam would slice through the opponent’s neck.

Therefore, psychological strategies were essential to the Saber Drawing Stance. Psychology played a big factor in whether he could unleash this attack well. The other factor was his diligent 8000 repetitions a day.

If they were to engage in direct combat, both sides would be extremely focused and go all out. Even if Meng Chuan used Lightning Ultimate Saber Drawing Stance, the hunchbacked man would instinctively defend against it. The threat of this strike would have been halved, lowering Meng Chuan’s chances of killing him. After all, his opponent was a Seamless realm expert who had comprehended Force and could cast demonic spells.

This was how life-and-death battles were. Psychology, environment, condition while in battle. All sorts of factors determined a battle’s outcome.

Upon seeing Meng Chuan kill Gao and rush over to him, Tu’s heart skipped a beat. He was afraid! “Brother, save me.” Tu turned around and fled towards Murong You.

Murong You also charged at his companion with all his might. Before Meng Chuan could catch up to Tu, he reached Tu.

“Prepare to die.” Murong You didn’t hesitate in the slightest. He brandished his scimitars and chopped at the charging Meng Chuan.

Oh? Meng Chuan frowned.

The two scimitars struck out with a gray demonic aura, slicing the air apart like tofu. No saber beam was formed. Saber beams were high-pressure airwaves formed by the compressed air due to cleaving the air. At Murong You’s realm, he was able to stir the Heaven and Earth powers, causing air to no longer be an obstruction.

These two strikes were very clear in his “senses” and terrifying. They were in no way inferior to his Lightning Ultimate Saber Drawing Stance.

I won’t be able to defend against such a move if I don’t fuse my Power of the Soul with my body. Cognizant of this point, Meng Chuan turned around and swiftly circled the area about sixty feet away.

Whoosh.

Using his movement technique, he was like a hunting wolf as he circled around Murong You and Tu. Occasionally, he would rush forward to deliver a blow.

Tu lacked the confidence to fight him head-on. All he did was dodge time and time again.

“He’s too fast.” Tu immediately asked, “Brother, what do we do?”

“His speed is greater than mine. Even if he has the Lightning Divine Body that’s best at speed, he shouldn’t be this fast. How robust is his Godfiend foundation?” Murong You couldn’t believe it. He had already condensed a demon core. Although he cultivated a formula that didn’t focus on extreme speed, his speed was still quite high.

However, he was actually suppressed by Meng Chuan when it came to speed.

Unbeknownst to him, Meng Chuan’s Godfiend foundation was just one component to his speed. His physical body was comparable to Vice Branch Masters Tu and Gao while he was in the late-stage Mortal Shedding realm. Naturally, the Godfiend Body he cultivated had far surpassed Tu’s.

He had also obtained the Lightning Devastator Saber where he learned some physical body and Quintessential Energy special techniques that increased the density of the lightning in his body. This made him faster.

Thus, even in his normal state, he could move faster than Murong You.

“We can’t continue fighting him,” said Murong You via voice transmission. “If we drag this on for too long, Fairy Meng will probably arrive. Then, both of us will be dead.”

“What do we do?” Tu asked.

“Young Master Meng’s reputation is one of benevolence. We will kill the surrounding residents, forcing him to fight us. As long as we are close enough—with your life-preservation means being stronger than Brother Gao’s—you don’t have to worry. At most, you’ll need to cast a forbidden spell. Besides, I’m by your side,” Murong You said with a voice transmission.

“Alright.” Tu narrowed his eyes. His eyes were glowing red, and the black demonic aura around him became denser. “If I use a forbidden spell, I can hold him back for a short time.”

Boom! Boom! The two charged towards the residences beside them. With a bang, they crashed through walls and rushed in.

“You have a death wish!” Meng Chuan’s eyes instantly turned red. He was indeed not in a hurry just now.

The two Skydemon Sect experts would be finished if he could hold them long enough for his grandaunt to arrive. He had released his flare, and he wasn’t far from the ancestral mansion where Fairy Meng resided. However, despair gives courage even to a coward. The two Skydemon Sect experts began targeting the commoners.

Boom!

Meng Chuan couldn’t care about anything else. The Power of the Soul fused with his body instantly, and his heartbeats could be heard. It was as though a gust of wind was howling in his lungs. The sound of his internal organs operating was extremely clear. Blood gushed like a river, and wisps of Quintessential Energy flowed through every meridian in his body. His control over his body and Quintessential Energy immediately rose to new limits.

His speed rose! He had only been slightly faster than Murong You before this, but now, he was much faster.

Murong You and Tu had just barged into a residence when they discovered a figure behind them.

“What monster is he!” Both of them were so frightened that their hearts palpated with fear.

Meng Chuan had never moved at such speeds.

Previously, he had only fused the Power of the Soul with his saber to unleash Lightning Ultimate Saber Drawing Stance, but now that he had pushed himself to his maximum speed—his strongest trait—he truly frightened the two of them.

“Let’s go all out.” In the midst of the crisis, Tu’s black demonic aura turned slightly red, and a bloody aura emanated from him.

Murong You also brandished his scimitars and charged towards Meng Chuan.

Swoosh.

Meng Chuan’s speed was simply too fast. He went straight for Tu. He was trying to take another one down.

“Die.” Tu knew that there was no way out. Meng Chuan’s monster-like speed was simply too terrifying. He had no hope of escaping at all. All he could do was swing the axe in his hand with all his might.

“Die.” Murong You’s pair of scimitars moved exquisitely. His scimitars drew out arcs that slashed at Meng Chuan.

Pfft.

Meng Chuan’s blurry figure arrived in front of Tu in an instant. Meng Chuan had dodged one of Murong You’s scimitars with his speed. The other scimitar was redirected by a slight nudge from Meng Chuan’s saber. After fending off arrow volleys for so many years, his swift saber’s defensive and divertive abilities had become exceptional.

The scimitar ended up heading towards Tu thanks to Meng Chuan.

“What?” Murong You and Tu were shocked.

How did it turn into friendly fire? Murong You immediately retracted his saber while Tu dodged.

Swoosh.

It was a gentle slice. This extremely gentle and faint slice silently emerged from the darkness.

As Tu avoided Murong You’s scimitar, he heaved a sigh of relief. He then discovered the faint saber beam had already reached his neck. Before he could react, the saber beam sliced through him.

Tu’s grip on his axe loosened, and the axe fell to the ground with a loud thud. He frantically grabbed at the wound on his throat. He wanted to live, but this strike was too vicious!

Meng Chuan landed to the side and coldly glanced at Tu—who was clasping his throat—before looking at the shocked Murong You.

How is this possible? I ended up helping him? Murong You couldn’t believe it.

Meng Chuan wasn’t surprised at all.

Murong You’s and Tu’s positions, movement speed, and movements were all acutely grasped by Meng Chuan due to his 100 feet domain and inconceivable speed. He only needed to position himself well and redirect the opponent’s full-strength attack to cause friendly fire.

Just that bit of time was enough for him to take out Tu’s life.

“You’re the only one left.” Meng Chuan looked at Murong You.
