Archean Eon Art Chapter 198

Dawn.

Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue did the same as usual. They used their movement techniques and left the prefecture city in seconds. They came to a mountainous area outside the city. Their influence on the Heaven and Earth powers prevented mortals from seeing them.

They had a temporary residence in the mountains—a wooden hut. Their residence in the city was too small. Liu Qiyue needed lots of space to hone her archery. As a Great Solar Godfiend sharpshooter, even the Dao Academy's archery range was insufficient for her. The mountains outside the city had sufficient empty space for her practice.

Every morning, the couple exited the city, cultivated for six hours before going back for lunch. In the afternoon, they spent their free time engaging in leisure activities that involved playing the zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting.

The couple cherished their peaceful days.

Liu Qiyue took out a small cloth bag and pulled the string loose. The cloth bag's opening expanded to the size of a face basin after the string was loosened. Liu Qiyue reached into it and took out a huge quiver—which had 50 arrows. These items were huge and long. However, she had taken it out from a small cloth bag; it was very magical.

“Ah Chuan, this cloth bag is truly magical.” Despite it only being a few days since she received this gift from her husband, Liu Qiyue still loved it a lot. “Usually, my greatest weakness lies with the quiver. If the quiver is too small, I carry too few arrows with me! If the quiver is too large, it affects my speed. Furthermore, a huge quiver still carries a limited number of arrows. However, I have 20 quivers inside this cloth bag! That totals 1000 arrows, which means I can freely shoot the demon monarchs without too much consequence. Otherwise, I will have to keep count when shooting the arrows, afraid that I will run out.”

Meng Chuan smiled. “That Demon Monarch White Fox specially delivered this treasure to you, Qiyue.”

Liu Qiyue smiled.

The tiny cloth bag he obtained from Demon Monarch White Fox hid a huge pocket space. It was about half the size of a house. There was still plenty of space even after putting 20 quivers inside.

Meng Chuan was still very surprised. This was because he had never seen such a treasure before. However, Godfiends likely had similar treasures. Archean Mountain's Nine Mystical Caves seemed as vast as a small world even though it was inside a mountain belly. He had also seen the Supremacy retrieve items from the flip with a flip of the hand. Godfiends were equally brilliant when it came to controlling “space.”

However, it was clear that items with stable storage spaces were very rare and precious! There was nothing similar available for exchange at Archean Mountain.

To Meng Chuan, this was just a rare item as it did little to boost his strength. But it was of great help to a sharpshooter! With a large number of portable arrows, they could shoot arrows limitlessly! Meng Chuan naturally gave it to his wife, Liu Qiyue.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Arrows tore through the sky one after another like swimming dragons. Liu Qiyue was practicing her archery.

Under a large tree, Meng Chuan shook a tree with a mere thought. Immediately, many leaves swayed and fell to the ground. Meng Chuan also began training.

The saber struck out with lightning as he delivered a hundred strikes swiftly. The leaves were almost halved symmetrically.

My saber arts are only this fast because I cultivate the Lightning Devastator Fiend Body. In terms of my technique realm, I'm still lacking. Meng Chuan shook his head slightly. If I were to double my saber speed with just my technique realm, I would have reached the Saber Dao realm.

What was the Saber Dao realm? It was the enlightenment of the Dao in regards to the saber! It was a Dao, a path that only belonged to him. Once at the Saber Dao realm, one could use their saber arts to seek answers from their inner self.

Again. With a thought, leaves fell from the tree again. Meng Chuan struck again.

Moments later, the tree became almost bald. Instead of making it completely bare of leaves, Meng Chuan switched to another tree and continued his saber practice. There were many trees in this mountain forest.

After more than two hours of cultivation—

“Oh?” The duo's expressions changed slightly as they took out their Patroller tokens. The tokens glowed red.

“Someone needs help?” The two exchanged glances.

Liu Qiyue didn't even waste time picking up the dozen arrows that were in the distance. She could always pick them up later. After all, it was an emergency. A few seconds meant the difference between life and death.

“Let's go.” Meng Chuan held his wife's arm.

Swoosh.

He immediately transformed into a bolt of lightning and streaked across the sky. Ever since he had successfully imprinted the second-level Lightning Rune, Meng Chuan's speed had increased tremendously. Now, he could travel over 1.5 kilometers in a single flash whilst bringing his wife with him! At this speed, he was considered rather fast among Regis Godfiends. If he were to travel alone, he would have speed rivaling the fastest Regis Godfiends.

“This is the first time we are leaving Gu Mountain Prefecture for a rescue,” said Liu Qiyue via voice transmission as she protected her body with Quintessential Essence. “Right now, each prefecture only has one Godfiend team. Each team consists of four Great Solar Godfiends. Since a Godfiend team has requested backup, the danger they have encountered will not be easy to deal with.”

“Act according to plan,” said Meng Chuan.

Meng Chuan was very calm since he had done similar things in the past. He had also acted as reinforcements with Zhang Yunfeng several times in the past.

Liu Qiyue was nervous. This was the first time she was on a rescue mission that was hundreds of kilometers away from her designated area.

Swoosh.

With a flash, he streaked across the sky and past a mountain. He unleashed the Swallow Stance in midair, traversing more than five kilometers before landing. He had crossed an entire mountain without even landing once. Wu State had very few mountains. The ones that did exist in Wu State were relatively small. Thousand-foot tall mountains were considered towering mountains here.

Compared to the north and other areas, the difference was enormous.

“Ah Chuan, your movement technique is really fast.” Liu Qiyue felt his astonishing speed as the scenery around her zoomed past her. Even though she had experienced it more than once, it still left her amazed.

“Once I become a Marquis Godfiend, my speed will be at the top of the world,” said Meng Chuan with a smile. “As time passes, I'll become faster and faster.”

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Meng Chuan and his wife crossed huge lakes. In Wu State, there were more lakes than mountains! It was very common to see lakes that were dozens of kilometers long. Some lakes exceeded 50 kilometers in length! The vast plains and numerous lakes made the area very suitable for farming.

“We're here!” With a tap on the lake's surface, Meng Chuan traveled three kilometers before arriving above a county city.

The duo immediately saw the battle occurring in the city.

Godfiend auras and demon monarch auras constantly erupted as the battle ensued.

Fog blanketed the city; most of the city was in ruins. People had been waiting anxiously in the tunnels. There were two parties that were engaged in battle. One party consisted of four Great Solar Godfiends—who were barely holding on despite working together. Two were heavily injured.

The other party consisted of six demon monarchs! The leader was a grey-furred cat demon monarch; he had a third eye between his eyebrows.

The three-eyed cat demon monarch closed in on the Godfiend team.

A silver-armored man wielded a shield and suddenly swung it to the side. However, the cat demon monarch's third eye blinked, and the silver-armored man let out a low painful grunt. The three-eyed cat demon monarch steered clear of the shield and reached for his neck.

Swish! A purple-robed woman rapidly rushed over as a sword beam slashed at the cat demon monarch.

Under the cat demon monarch's leadership, the six demon monarchs surrounded and attacked the four Godfiends. The four Godfiends had cast forbidden Godfiend spells and used all means available to them to hold on.

“Haha, this is the life-and-death relationship between you humans? For the sake of two injured companions, the two of you aren't willing to escape. Are you going to live and die together?” With five other demon monarchs aiding him, Demon Monarch Cat held the absolute strength advantage.

“If we were to flee in different directions, it would be impressive if one of us manages to escape,” shouted the purple-robed woman. “If we join forces to deal with the threat, we might be able to hold out until reinforcements arrive. I urge you demon monarchs to leave quickly. Otherwise, you won't be able to escape after powerful Godfiends arrive.”

“I'll kill you before leaving. There's plenty of ti—” Demon Monarch Cat suddenly looked into the distance. Lightning flashed across the sky as two figures appeared above the county city. “The Godfiends are here?”

The six demon monarchs shuddered in fear.

The Godfiends came so quickly?

Even a Marquis Godfiend wouldn't be this fast unless they were guarding the prefecture.
