God of Pets-Chapter 627: Taken Down

The Divine Martial Corps didn't have time to react before a massive explosion occurred.

In almost an instant, countless members of the Divine Martial Corps were dead or injured, leaving less than thirty percent of the soldiers capable of continuing the fight. Among the ruins lay severed limbs, and many demons writhed on the ground, screaming in agony.

Looking at the completely routed Divine Martial Corps, the Divine Martial King felt an icy cold permeate his body, leaving him breathless.

He had a feeling he had never experienced before, as if the world had become somewhat fantastical.

A strike bolstered by twenty thousand Sixth Sense demons was split by a single saber, a reality so surreal.

Absurd, exaggerated, unreal—anyway, the Divine Martial King found it difficult to accept such a result.

What was supposed to be a battle duel between two armies was shattered by just one person.

One against ten thousand, such a thing wasn't impossible to happen, but for someone to exhibit such a formidable posture, slicing through tens of thousands with a single strike—it was hard for the Divine Martial King to imagine anyone other than the man before him capable of such feats.

"Is the primordial energy strengthened by Reverse Element Skill truly this powerful...?" Qing Ya stared blankly at the almost godlike figure.

That saber strike had transcended the human realm.

Mei Saint's emotions were the most complex at this moment, as he finally realized the ramifications of his actions.

He could have remained neutral; even if he couldn't win such a person as an ally, he could have been friends with him.

But for a bit of interest, he pushed such a terrifying person to the opposing side.

One saber breaking ten thousand armies—such a person, how many could be found even in all the Grotto Heaven?

Escape!

This was the Divine Martial King's only thought left; he disregarded everything, exerting all his might to flee this place.

He had an infinitely bright future ahead of him, with endless possibilities.

As long as he could survive, find another opportunity to awaken the True Dragon Emperor's Secret Law with the Seventh Sense, he could carve out a domain within the Great Cave Heaven, even elevate demons to higher levels.

But all this assumed he could survive; the Divine Martial King had no time for regrets, only the drive to flee ferociously.

Chen Guan remained unmoving and floated upward to the sky, his body seemingly not moving at all yet hurtling toward the Divine Martial King at indescribable speed.

The Ghost Immortal Step had various shortcomings, but pursuing enemies wasn't one of them.

Chen Guan directly locked onto the Divine Martial King, treating him as a moving target.

His body rushed straight at the Divine Martial King, without any need for changes in body technique, as if he had engaged an automatic following mode; wherever the Divine Martial King flew, Chen Guan floated after him.

No matter how the Divine Martial King's body technique shifted, he could not shake off Chen Guan.

The Divine Martial King summoned his pets, hoping to block Chen Guan, but they couldn't withstand the slashing power of Chen Guan's Good and Evil Asura Saber.

With the empowerment of spiritual power and the doubled might of the Secret Technique of One, the terrifying destructive force of the Good and Evil Asura Saber advanced further; even a full-power strike from a Sixth Sense Secret Spirit Pet would be cleaved open with one saber strike.

The Divine Martial King had lost all will to fight; he was only desperately running away, trying to survive.

Yet his primordial energy struggled to sustain his will—once exhausted, he lacked the power to continue fleeing and the ability to counterattack.

Between Chen Guan and the demons, nothing needed to be said; Chen Guan swung his saber and severed the Divine Martial King's head.

When he carried the Divine Martial King's corpse back to Mei City, he thought that the demons of the Divine Martial Corps and even humans and Secret Spirits in Mei City should have mostly fled by now.

But he discovered none had escaped; the entire Mei City was besieged by the Blood Spirit Army, and demon soldiers hoping to break through had become members of the Blood Spirit.

That witch-like figure stood high above the void, gazing down at Mei City, alongside the ominous Blood Spirit Banner.

"I don't intend to pluck the fruits of your victory, merely ensuring they cannot leave here," Jin Taohua remarked to Chen Guan.

Though her tone was haughty and indifferent, she was clearly explaining.

"Thank you," Chen Guan smiled at Jin Taohua, harboring no doubt.

After following Jin Taohua for a while, he understood her nature—she simply disdained doing such things.

Jin Taohua's eyes glinted slightly; Chen Guan's unreserved sincerity was evident, as he trusted her utterly, even turning away and leaving his back entirely exposed to her.

Chen Guan directed his gaze at Mei Saint in Mei City; it seemed Mei Saint had tried breaking out through the Blood Spirit Army but failed.

Of course, it was possible he wasn't only attempting to escape himself but also trying to break the Blood Spirit Army to let the Secret Spirits in Mei City flee.

But evidently, he hadn't succeeded—even someone like Mei Saint appeared utterly powerless against Jin Taohua.

If not for Jin Taohua having no intention of killing him, he might not have lasted until Chen Guan's return.

A glance at the sword marks on Mei Saint told Chen Guan it was Jin Taohua's handiwork.

When Mei Saint saw Chen Guan looking at him, he spoke bitterly, "Mei City owes you, but harbors no desire to harm you. Please grant Mei City a path to survival."

Chen Guan coldly responded to Mei Saint, "If Mei City had never established the rules, my life or death indeed should have nothing to do with Mei City or you, Mei Saint. But you, Mei Saint, set the rules yet chose to break them yourself, luring people in only to lead them to death. Such crimes deserve death."

Upon hearing this, Mei Saint trembled, realizing there was no chance for reconciliation today.

"This was solely my doing; it has nothing to do with the beings of Mei City. I will end my own life to atone and plead for their release," Mei Saint spoke bitterly.

"There are no unscathed eggs under a toppled nest," Chen Guan said indifferently.

Mei Saint's face turned ashen, knowing everything was finished—his momentary interest-driven decision had pushed all of Mei City into the abyss.

"Mei Saint, if you wish to preserve them, there's now only one path," Chen Guan's words reignited hope within Mei Saint.

"What path?" Mei Saint asked Chen Guan.

"Petification," Chen Guan calmly uttered the two words.

"Impossible... absolutely impossible..." Mei Saint's complexion drastically changed, feeling deeply insulted.

Someone like him could indeed decide whether to undergo Petification after death, given proper preparations, but Petification was undoubtedly the greatest disgrace for a Secret Spirit.

"Then have these Secret Spirits of Mei City accompany you to your grave," Chen Guan raised the fully solidified Asura Saber in his hand, ready to initiate slaughter mode.

"Wait!" Mei Saint was torn with inner conflict.

Because of his protection, he had gathered so many wise Secret Spirits in Mei City, establishing it as a Secret Spirit city.

He suddenly recalled the reason he managed to secure his footing in Mei City initially; aside from his formidable power, their neutrality as a city-state was a foundational pillar.

Years of comfort and superiority had caused him to forget his original intentions, shattering the balance and plunging Mei City into an inescapable ruin.
