God of Pets-Chapter 559: Mo Hongxue

Mo Hongxue knew the situation had turned dire; now, only by shaking off Bai Xiuyan or killing him could he escape Celestial Yang City.

"Bai Xiuyan, take this strike from me." Mo Hongxue's dagger in hand slashed out like a specter, the edge aura slicing through the Netherworld as if it could cut through the void.

Clang!

The Transparent Flash Sword in Bai Xiuyan's hand shattered that eerie edge aura with brute force, blocking Mo Hongxue's dagger.

Mo Hongxue was undeterred; instead, his eyes blazed with killing intent. In his other hand, which had been empty, appeared a soft sword like a snake's tongue, flying directly out of his sleeve. Its length unknown, only the blade visible, not the hilt, it pierced toward Bai Xiuyan's chest with a bizarre sword aura.

Clang!

Another green jade sword appeared in Bai Xiuyan's hand, surprisingly the Snake Pattern Sword returned to him by Fujimura Reiko.

The Snake Pattern Sword and Transparent Flash Sword met Mo Hongxue's dagger and snake-tongue soft sword. The two were evenly matched again, neither able to overpower the other.

Bai Xiuyan's own Celestial Destiny Secret Treasure, the Immortal Sword, had been shattered and was not yet reforged.

Yet relying solely on the Snake Pattern Sword and Transparent Flash Sword, he was not inferior to Mo Hongxue.

Mo Hongxue's body technique was too fast; to others, his movements seemed almost like teleportation, constantly flickering around Bai Xiuyan, giving the impression he had the upper hand.

Bai Xiuyan's body technique and speed were noticeably slower, almost unable to keep up with Mo Hongxue.

But those who truly understood could see clearly; Bai Xiuyan's body technique and speed were indeed not as fast as Mo Hongxue, yet his sword did not lag behind Mo Hongxue's body technique at all.

Moreover, the sword strikes were relentless, sealing off all escape routes Mo Hongxue might take, as if predicting his movements and striking ahead of time.

It seemed Mo Hongxue had the advantage, but in truth, he couldn't escape; it was as if he had fallen into a web of swords and was trapped in a quagmire.

Seeing that the Demon soldiers from Nine Demon City were either dead or had fled, Mo Hongxue knew that if he didn't escape now, once Chen Guan and the others returned, he would face certain death.

At this time, Mo Hongxue could no longer care about much, directly summoning his pets to block the swords.

As the sword light swept through, the pets summoned by Mo Hongxue were instantly slaughtered.

However, Bai Xiuyan's sword technique faltered slightly in connection, and seizing this opportunity, Mo Hongxue dodged back, transforming into a flying shadow heading toward the direction of the crumbling Nine Demons City.

Bai Xiuyan's expression changed, and he immediately pursued with all his might, yet his speed was indeed inferior to Mo Hongxue's, and the farther he chased, the more distant the gap became.

Bai Xiuyan focused his thoughts, sending out the Five Thunders True Law Divine Sword, which carried bolts of lightning, to strike at Mo Hongxue.

Mo Hongxue countered by summoning a Thunder-horned Divine Armor Beast, which stepped forward and absorbed the lightning from the Five Thunders True Law Divine Sword with its horn, remaining unscathed for the moment.

Not bothering with the Thunder-horned Divine Armor Beast, Mo Hongxue again increased his speed. In the newly formed gorge, his figure flickered in and out, advancing rapidly like teleportation.

By the time Bai Xiuyan arrived and slew the Thunder-horned Divine Armor Beast, he could no longer stop Mo Hongxue, as his speed was simply too fast.

Bai Xiuyan glanced worriedly in the direction of the crumbling Nine Demons City, knowing that Mo Hongxue was unwilling to give up. He aimed to make a move on Chen Guan before leaving, demonstrating that his assumption was correct.

Given Mo Hongxue's speed, the Purple Sun Soldiers certainly wouldn't be able to stop him, and even the strongest South Zilan could not keep up with such terrifying speed.

Mo Hongxue, indeed as Bai Xiuyan speculated, was unwilling to give up; he wanted to prove he was right.

Even without the assistance of Mo Qingtian and the Demon Corps, he intended to take Chen Guan's head amidst the sea of soldiers.

His speed and ability enabled him to accomplish such a feat.

Almost a solo master of the Sixth Awakening's speed and body technique, combined with his Celestial Destiny Secret Treasure, Spirit Snake Sword, he excelled at piercing through formations and assassinating generals.

Indeed, when Mo Hongxue reached the crumbling Nine Demons City, he saw Chen Guan and his Purple Sun Corps had already seized the ruined city.

Corpses of Demon Soldiers were scattered all around; not a single Demon remained alive.

Mo Qingtian and other Demon generals had long fled to places unknown, completely out of sight.

"Damn it… I'll report all this to the brothers when I return…" Mo Hongxue, for the first time, held disdainful feelings towards his elder brother Mo Qingtian, believing him unfit as the elder brother anymore.

Once, Mo Hongxue had followed Mo Qingtian's every word, never imagining that in adversity, Mo Qingtian would be so cowardly, starkly contrasting with his usual domineering posture of a conqueror, actually frightened away by a human.

"Without you, I can still kill him. Once I bring his head back, there's no way you will continue to hold the title of Nine Demons City Lord." Mo Hongxue raced inside the decaying city, spotting Chen Guan standing at the height of the Nine Demons City, surveying the surroundings.

"Die!" Mo Hongxue had absolute confidence in his judgment.

He believed Chen Guan was surely not of the Sixth Awakening but rather of the Fourth Awakening, and such terrifying power should stem from something crafted by a Great Cave Heaven Powerhouse, a life-preserving treasure, not from Chen Guan's own strength.

Such treasures, even among top-tier Great Cave Heaven Powerhouses, were likely rare, managing to provide Chen Guan with one for survival was fortunate enough, surely it couldn't be used again.

Therefore, this time he was determined to kill Chen Guan, then return with his head to inform the Demons of Nine Demon City who the truly strongest Demon was.

Ghostly shadows flickered; upon noticing, Nan Zilan immediately commanded the corps to form a battle array, attempting to intercept Mo Hongxue charging toward Chen Guan.

"Stand aside, let him through," Chen Guan said calmly.

He knew the Purple Sun Soldiers couldn't stop Mo Hongxue; his speed was too great. Blocking him would only increase casualties, resulting in unnecessary deaths.

The Purple Sun Soldiers obeyed Chen Guan as if he were a deity and unhesitatingly opened a path for Mo Hongxue to proceed.

They believed killing a Demon would be effortless for the Purple General, requiring not even a slap's worth of force.

After all, the Purple General had once smacked away the Nine Demons City, annihilating two to three thousand elite Sixth Awakening Demons—where a mere Demon could withstand such force.

Seeing Chen Guan allowing all the soldiers to step aside, standing hand-in-hand atop the palace watching him, almost waiting for his move, Mo Hongxue hesitated internally: "Could he truly be a Sixth Awakening Cultivator? Or perhaps he could still use that terrifying life-preserving method?"

But such thoughts merely flashed through Mo Hongxue's mind; he was more convinced of his own judgment.

In an instant, Mo Hongxue appeared in front of Chen Guan as if in a flash, the Spirit Snake Sword drawing out its aura from his sleeve, aiming at Chen Guan's heart.

The dagger in his other hand carried the power to tear through space, slashing toward Chen Guan's throat.

He surged too swiftly, leaving Chen Guan barely time to react.
