Chapter 175: Escape

Meng Chuan was glad he was wearing protective inner armor. Although his internal organs were in pain from the impact, his body remained intact, and he maintained his full strength.

He had immediately used a forbidden Godfiend spell when he was sent flying through the many residences and trees! Because he knew he would die if he didn’t do so.

If I don’t risk my life, I might really die here. Meng Chuan still had many things he hadn’t done, so he naturally wasn’t willing to just give up and die here.

Boom!

The gigantic black snake tail swept across the sky, sweeping across the ruins where Meng Chuan was.

Meng Chuan—who was lying on the ground—unleashed his full strength. He fused the Power of Essence Soul with his body and Quintessential Essence. After pushing his forbidden spell to the maximum, his movement speed reached its limits. The black snake’s tail swept across the tail, but it only landed on Meng Chuan’s afterimages. Meng Chuan’s true body was already three feet away. He had barely escaped the attack.

He actually managed to dodge it? Blackwater Palace Lord stood in the ruins. A long black tail—over 100 feet long—had grown from his coccyx. This was his half-demon form—his strongest form.

At that moment, Blackwater Palace Lord’s eyes were filled with shock. He was shocked that Meng Chuan didn’t die. However, he was certain that even if Meng Chuan didn’t die, he would definitely be severely injured! He was only a Great Solar Godfiend. He cultivated the Lightning Devastator Fiend Body that was known for its speed. It was very ordinary when it came to physical defense. With his fourth Firmament Skydemon strength, even if he didn’t crack the armor, the impact was very likely to kill Meng Chuan. Even if he didn’t die from the impact, he would be close to death with severe injuries.

Meng Chuan—who was supposed to be heavily injured—actually unleashed such shocking speed? He had managed to dodge his snake tail attack?

Run. Meng Chuan dodged the black tail and frantically fled into the distance, trying to put distance between them.

It was a simple exchange of blows. However, he was still at an absolute disadvantage despite using his full strength! He could only attack eight times with his maximum strength—the fusion of Power Of Essence Soul with his body and Quintessential Essence—even though his Essence Soul had been improving in the two years since he left the mountain. Now that he had attacked three times with maximum strength, what else could he do besides escape?

“Can you escape?” Blackwater Palace Lord’s voice resounded in the ruined streets.

Oh? Meng Chuan’s expression changed.

Not only was Blackwater Palace Lord chasing after him, but the rain was suddenly being controlled. Furthermore, water from the nearby river also flew up.

A mighty stream of water—spanning half a kilometer—enveloped Meng Chuan from all directions, seeking to trap him within its watery depths.

As a person with extraordinary speed, Meng Chuan was most afraid of a domain! When obstructed by a domain, his speed decreased substantially.

I can’t let him get close to me. If he gets close, even if I unleash my Power of Essence Soul, I won’t be able to withstand many blows. I’ll lose my life. Meng Chuan understood this very well.

Blackwater Palace Lord was considered average among the eleven fourth Firmament Skydemons. According to Archean Mountain’s intelligence, his strength was at the level of a Marquis Godfiend. However, unlike Meng Chuan, Yang Fang, and Zhang Yunfeng, Blackwater Palace Lord was a fourth Firmament Skydemon. He was rather powerful in all aspects after becoming a fourth Firmament Skydemon.

Domain, long-range attacks, melee combat, physical body, demonic powers, and realm. He wasn’t particularly dazzling in any of the aspects when compared to those of similar strength, but he was still quite strong in every aspect.

What about Meng Chuan?

Even when using forbidden Godfiend spells and other means, he barely reached the Marquis Godfiend threshold. Apart from being fast, he was mediocre in all other aspects. In terms of realm, he was completely overwhelmed by his opponent! As a fourth Firmament Skydemon, Blackwater Palace Lord had reached the Marquis Godfiend threshold. He had attained Greater Mastery of the Realm of Dao, while Meng Chuan only had Greater Mastery of Saber Soul. The difference was too great. Therefore, his Red Lotus Stance was easily broken through. The difference in realm made his Black Metal Sutra move useless.

In terms of his moves’ strength? It was mediocre. Blackwater Palace Lord completely overwhelmed him.

Meng Chuan’s only advantage was in his speed. His saber art and movement techniques were faster, and he was much faster than Blackwater Palace Lord. However, with the difference in realm, Blackwater Palace Lord could break Meng Chuan’s saber arts easily.

Therefore, melee combat meant death!

Boom!

Water continued to surround Meng Chuan as he fled from Blackwater Palace Lord.

When the water stream domain approached, Meng Chuan suddenly released a black baneful aura that spread in all directions. The extreme cold caused the water to freeze! Although Meng Chuan had attempted to absorb the Quiescence Frost baneful aura, he was unable to absorb it even with the Diamond Body. He probably needed his body cultivation to reach the next realm before he could try again. But even so, Meng Chuan’s baneful aura domain was rather powerful among Great Solar Godfiends.

The moment the water froze into ice—

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Seven condensed streams of water charged into the baneful aura domain like flood dragons and attacked Meng Chuan.

The seven flood dragons weren’t a large-scale water domain. Instead, they were water streams controlled by Blackwater Palace Lord’s demonic powers. Its strength was much greater, and the baneful aura didn’t freeze it. historical

This Blackwater Palace Lord is trying to stop me. If he catches up to me, I’m finished. Meng Chuan didn’t slow down, but his movements became more unpredictable.

Whoosh!

Instantly, numerous phantoms appeared, causing the flood dragons to fail to block him. Even if a flood dragon occasionally blocked Meng Chuan’s true body, it would be torn apart by Meng Chuan’s saber.

Although he couldn’t defeat Blackwater Palace Lord in close combat, how could a long-distance attack faze him?

As he fled, Meng Chuan only fused the Power of Essence Soul with his Quintessential Essence. He did not fuse it with his body anymore! The Power of Essence Soul would not last long if he fused the Power of Essence Soul with his body and Quintessential Essence.

Even while dodging the flood dragons, Meng Chuan’s retreat remained quite fast.

Soon. I’ve already fled 1000 feet away. As long as we are half a kilometer away from one another, his attacks will be much weaker. He won’t be able to threaten me then. Meng Chuan continued to speed forward.

He sure is slippery. Unfortunately, other than being fast, he isn’t a threat. Blackwater frowned when he saw the distance between him and Meng Chuan grow further. Finally, he threw his two Water Splitters—which pursued Meng Chuan at extremely fast speeds.

Blackwater Palace Lord’s weapons? Meng Chuan was alarmed.

The two Water Splitters flew through the sky much faster than Meng Chuan. They quickly caught up with him. The water streams soon formed hands. Each of the two hands grabbed a Water Splitter and executed exquisite killer moves. The two Water Splitters caused the void to distort every time they struck. The attacks were unpredictable and difficult to deal with. The Water Splitter’s speed kept up with Meng Chuan even while attacking.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Meng Chuan moved like a ghost as he passed through buildings on the streets. He also used the Red Lotus Stance to block the Water Splitters.

Jiang State Capital had a very dense population. Every inch of land was worth its weight in gold. Buildings were densely packed together. Since Meng Chuan used the Swallow Stance to flee, he traversed the residential area unpredictably. The two water Splitters destroyed the buildings as they pursued Meng Chuan. Long-distance control was naturally inferior to close-range control. Furthermore, with many buildings in the way, the Water Splitters’ strength was reduced once again. It was naturally difficult to stop Meng Chuan like this.

1,200 feet, 1,300 feet. I’ll soon escape from his domain. Meng Chuan grew in confidence.

Damn it. Blackwater Palace Lord held the Water Splitters from afar. However, he was unable to shorten the distance between them. He was very anxious.

At this moment, he cast a forbidden spell! Demonic energy surged!

Water Cage Lock! Blackwater Palace Lord used his full strength.

Swish! Swish!

The two Water Splitters increased in speed and strength once again. They curved around Meng Chuan multiple times in an attempt to obstruct him. The Water Splitters appeared and vanished without a trace; they could attack from all directions at any given moment, even from beneath! Meng Chuan spent more effort to block the Water Splitters, slowing his retreat down. Blackwater Palace Lord never slowed down. In fact, after using a forbidden spell, his speed increased by 30 percent!

I can’t slow down. Meng Chuan knew his current situation. They were only 1,300 feet apart. If he were to slow down, he would be caught in seconds.

I’ll give it my all! Meng Chuan fused the Power of Essence Soul with his body and Quintessential essence. Although the expenditure of the Power of Essence Soul increased, Meng Chuan’s strength and speed increased significantly.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

As he blocked the Water Splitters, his speed increased.

1,400 feet, 1,500 feet!

“Stop!” Blackwater Palace Lord’s expression turned ferocious.

With his full strength, Meng Chuan was finally half a kilometer away from Blackwater Palace Lord. The two Water Splitters—held by the floating water—stopped.

Whoosh.

Meng Chuan widened the half-kilometer gap without any obstruction. With a flash, he was a kilometer away. Meng Chuan landed on the roof of a restaurant and looked at Blackwater Palace Lord from a distance. Only then did he heave a sigh of relief. I survived!

His Power of Essence Soul reserves had been depleted by 70 percent. He only had 30 percent left! He had the portrait of his wife—that he painted after their wedding—to thank for his increased Power of Essence Soul reserves. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to last for this long.
