God of Pets-Chapter 544: Decisive Victory
The tenacity of the Demon Corps surprised even Chen Guan.
Under the blessing of the Savior, the role of the Spirit of the Cheerleaders was significantly enhanced, and his team exploded with combat power far beyond the usual.
Yet even in such circumstances, the Demon Corps stubbornly fought against them; their battle array wasn’t disrupted, nor was the battlefield divided.
Especially those Celestial Doctor Star demon soldiers brought them great trouble, slowing down the reduction of the Demon Corps’ numbers, which should have been rapid.
They were too few in number; if they couldn’t charge in to divide the battlefield and disrupt the enemy’s battle formation, in the end, they would still lose.
While Chen Guan was contemplating whether to let Bai Xiuyan take action, he noticed chaos erupting near the Celestial Doctor Star’s camp.
One Celestial Doctor Star demon soldier after another fell, dying of unknown causes.
Chen Guan didn’t notice at first, but when he looked carefully, he was a bit stunned.
He saw a soldier in the Taishan City military uniform slaughtering among the Celestial Doctor Star demon soldiers, slashing their throats one by one.
The actions of this soldier seemed invisible to the nearby demon soldiers; they allowed him to kill and then walk to another demon soldier, who also had his throat slashed amidst confusion and helplessness.
"Where did this person come from?" Chen Guan was also surprised; he hadn’t noticed when an extra Taishan City soldier appeared.
But he didn’t have time to ponder this question, as he knew problems emerging in the Celestial Doctor Star camp would soon prompt the opposing general to respond. He had to resolve the issue thoroughly before that happened.
"Bai Xiuyan, I want his life," Chen Guan pointed to where the Demon Corps’ general was.
The Demon Corps was on the verge of collapse; Chen Guan was now determined to capture the enemy general to decisively break the Demon Corps while weakening the demon forces of Celestial Yang City.
Amongst ten thousand troops, only Bai Xiuyan could save the leader’s head.
"Alright." Bai Xiuyan, who had been protecting Chen Guan and Fujimura Reiko’s safety, seldom took action.
However, his blood was boiling, and upon receiving Chen Guan’s order, he immediately leaped off the back of the Heterogeneous Flower Horse, drew the Transparent Flash Sword, and merged with the sword, transforming into a white flash that swept across the battlefield.
A row of Golden Shield Star warriors used the Secret Skill of the Celestial Shield, combining their strength into a golden light shield to block the sword light.
However, upon mere contact with the sword light, the golden shield shattered like paper.
The deputies beside Lei Yan didn’t expect the Golden Shield to break so easily; they wanted to get in front to block, but the sword light was too fast, leaving them no time to draw their swords to counter.
Lei Yan’s gaze sharpened, and he transformed into a Thunder God, his hands infused with the Power of Thunder, striking the sword light violently.
The thunder burst, the flash pierced through Lei Yan’s head, and then flew skyward.
In the sky, Bai Xiuyan, dressed in white as pure as snow, hovered like a Sword Immortal, exuding a transcendent yet terrifying presence.
"Bai...Xiu...Yan..." Lei Yan only managed to utter three words before a spray of blood bloomed from his forehead, causing him to fall off his mount and die instantly, his pet mount dispersing as well.
With the general dead, the Thousand Break Army was thrown into chaos, scrambling to retreat.
The demons were ruthless, but when faced with equally, if not more ruthless, human cavalry, their hatred, although overwhelming, forced them to retreat.
"Kill... don’t spare a single demon..." Chen Guan roared loudly.
The frenzied cavalry, following Chen Guan, pursued relentlessly, leaving the shore of the lava strewn with demon soldiers’ corpses.
In Taishan City, everyone awaited the outcome of the battle at Rock River.
Although everyone believed this battle doomed for Zi Donglai and Bai Xiuyan, they were concerned whether Zi Donglai and Bai Xiuyan would die on the battlefield.
"Report..." The battle report finally arrived, and almost simultaneously, the ten residences and the City Lord’s Mansion received the front-line report.
"Read it!" Chu Jianxiong couldn’t wait to see the report and directly told the messenger.
"Great victory... Celestial Sun Cavalry achieved a great win... killed 1,974 enemies... almost annihilated 2,000 Thousand Break Army... General Lei Yan dead... Celestial Sun Cavalry injured over thirty... none were killed..."
Every word the messenger spoke was clear to everyone, and they knew what it meant.
Yet, combined, it sounded so unfamiliar.
"What does it mean... none were killed... slaughtered nearly 2,000 Thousand Break Army... and even Lei Yan was killed..." Chu Jianxiong widened his eyes, even slipping into his hometown accent.
Jiang Wuxiang stepped up, grabbed the battle report, and as he read it, his whole body was trembling.
"It’s true... really killed Lei Yan... almost annihilated 2,000 Thousand Break Army..." Jiang Wuxiang’s voice changed.
Over these years in Taishan City, their battles against demons were oppressive; it had been a long time since they secured such a major victory.
"What a Bai Xiuyan... what a Zi Donglai... truly amazing..." Zhang Xuanqing couldn’t help but laugh loudly, swearing regardless of decorum.
"Wasn’t Bai Xiuyan struck by the Profound Celestial Emperorless Fist? How could he have killed Lei Yan?" Shang Feiyu calmly analyzed.
Just like her, the senior members of the ten residences and Xuan Dongyue couldn’t believe it when they received the report.
Even if he could recover his Primordial Energy, the injury from the Profound Celestial Emperorless Fist would remain; Bai Xiuyan couldn’t return to peak form. How could he have killed Lei Yan, and with just one sword strike at that?
Lei Yan was a top-tier Sixth Awakening Powerhouse, extremely strong in battle; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been called the Chief Instructor of Nine Demon City.
In a one-on-one scenario, even an uninjured Bai Xiuyan shouldn’t have found killing Lei Yan that easy.
The ten residences were now skeptical whether Xuan Dongyue had indeed injured Bai Xiuyan, as it seemed unlikely Bai Xiuyan could still possess such formidable strength otherwise.
Xuan Dongyue’s expression turned more complex, he knew he hadn’t held back, and Bai Xiuyan indeed got struck by the Profound Celestial Emperorless Fist.
Because he didn’t want Bai Xiuyan to die, he used his full strength with that punch; otherwise, it wouldn’t have hurt Bai Xiuyan.
"Could miracles happen again?" Xuan Dongyue stood by the window, gazing at the night sky outside as if something was surging in his eyes.
In the past, Celestial Yang City created miracles repeatedly, surviving for three years when others thought it would fall in three days.
Now, such a miracle seemed poised to happen again.
The Celestial Sun Cavalry was marching toward a miracle.
But could a miracle really repeat itself? If miracles were so easily achieved, could they still be called miracles? 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮
The reactions varied, but the Celestial Sun Cavalry’s great victory trampled on the dignity of the ten residences and the City Lord’s Mansion.
For years, their confrontations with demons resulted in more defeats than victories, making such a triumph already considered a major victory for Taishan City.
"Zi Donglai... truly an unfathomable guy..."
...
At this moment, Chen Guan was joyfully reviewing the Paperman’s information. This battle unexpectedly elevated the Paperman’s level to 26; just four more levels to reach the maximum.
"Conquering Celestial Yang City... the Paperman should almost reach level 30..." Chen Guan secretly thought.
After the battle, Chen Guan announced all the spoils would be distributed, prompting a cheer among the soldiers who shouted "Purple General mighty."
For those in Taishan City, it was Bai Xiuyan’s single sword strike killing Lei Yan that forged this illustrious achievement.
But for these soldiers, even without Bai Xiuyan’s strike, they believed they could win, albeit with potentially greater losses.
They respected Bai Xiuyan, but they had more respect for the "Purple General" who led them to victory after victory.
