God of Pets-Chapter 395: The Blood Spirit Corps Unleashed
"Kill everyone." Feng Zhantian revealed his violent side, pointing his sword at Abyss City and issuing the massacre order.
"Go back and report... Make sure to transmit the demons’ intelligence back..." Gu Chengfeng sent someone back while he himself stayed to defend Abyss City to the death.
If they could hold them off for a while, they hoped it would be enough time for the City of No Tears to prepare.
Their intelligence was previously flawed; they had no idea that the demons north of the Nine Mountains had developed to such an extent. If they didn’t prepare in advance, they would certainly suffer a huge loss.
As for Abyss City, no one believed it could be held. Gu Chengfeng was prepared to hold the city or die trying.
The residents who exited the city were massacred, and the sea of demons surged towards Abyss City once more.
Inside the city, the remaining ordinary residents and the original veteran guards all rushed to the city walls to fight the demons to the death.
"Old Liu, you all should flee. You are different from us; you were originally the guards of Abyss City. If you can escape back, the City of No Tears will give you a chance to live," said the old priest to the veteran guards.
Old Liu pressed the Secret Star Mask to his face, and his body transformed instantly, golden armor enveloping him entirely.
"We guard Abyss City to suppress the demons and ensure peace in the rear. Now that the demons have invaded, how can we remain uninvolved?"
Transformed into a Golden Armored Divine General, Old Liu summoned the Demon-slaying Saber with a wave of his hand, glaring at the attacking demons below the city and said hatefully, "As long as we have breath in us, we won’t let these demonic bastards step a foot past Abyss City."
Gu Chengfeng and the soldiers from the City of No Tears were also inspired, feeling a mighty surge of spirit.
In those days, only the passionate soldiers came to be stationed at Abyss City.
Many of the veteran guards’ families had suffered at the hands of the demons. Like Old Liu, whose son and daughter-in-law had a child in the Secret Realm due to an accident, couldn’t bear to abandon it, and ultimately both were killed by that demon offspring.
His hatred for the demons was stronger than anyone else’s.
Stationed at Abyss City, their original purpose was to kill demons, and they weren’t about to flee now.
The garrison of Abyss City was infused with fervor by these veteran guards, though they just hoped to kill a demon or two, making the effort worthwhile.
None believed they would survive, nor did anyone think Abyss City could be defended.
Jin Taohua, with a stern face, soared into the sky via Flying Sword, charging towards Feng Zhantian.
To capture the thief, first capture the king. To defend Abyss City, they needed to slay Feng Zhantian to have a chance of changing the tides.
Chen Guan was surprised that Jin Taohua was genuinely willing to risk her life for Abyss City, something he had not foreseen.
Chen Guan didn’t know that Jin Taohua’s parents were originally guards of Abyss City, guarding it their whole lives, keeping the demons north of the Nine Mountains at bay.
In fact, aside from Jin Taohua herself, not even the people of Abyss City knew she was a descendant of the veteran guards; they only thought she had come here seeking refuge.
The battlefield was extremely brutal, with many pets dying, and the demons charging ever more fiercely. The garrison seemed ready to collapse.
In the sky, terrifying shockwaves and electric sparks burst out, and for the moment, Jin Taohua failed to slay Feng Zhantian.
"Now, there’s no choice but to prioritize survival." Seeing the demons’ attack overwhelming the pets and the Demon Corps about to break into the city, Chen Guan had to activate the Spirit of the Cheerleaders.
"All blood spirits heed my command..." Chen Guan’s voice echoed across the battlefield.
Initially disorganized and despite their numbers, the Blood Spirit Army had been scattered by the Demon Corps, unable to form any combat power, but suddenly they underwent an unbelievable transformation.
These blood spirits actually formed a Battle Array, initiating a siege against the Demon Corps.
The surging blood spirits forcibly trapped the Demon Corps, keeping them outside Abyss City.
At that moment, people from the City of No Tears and Abyss City found it hard to believe, yet felt a sense of escape from death’s grip.
The once-disorganized Blood Spirit Army had now become like well-trained soldiers, forming small Battle Arrays that connected into a larger formation, enclosing thousands of demons and their pets, using attrition tactics continuously.
The one commanding all this was an unremarkable humanoid blood spirit standing atop the city gate tower.
"How could this be possible? The blood spirits can command the Blood Spirit Army to form a corps combat force? And in standard battle formations!" Gu Chengfeng was dumbfounded.
He had some understanding of the Blood Spirit Banner and blood spirits; they were extremely formidable for crushing weaker foes, and effective when outnumbering the opponent.
In one-on-one battles, they could even exhaust enemies to death.
However, when facing a well-trained corps reaching a certain size, the blood spirits were not so easily useful unless they held an overwhelming advantage in Level; otherwise, it was hard to unleash much power.
Yet under the command of this blood spirit, the blood spirits’ combat power surpassed even the elite troops of the City of No Tears.
To Gu Chengfeng, this was incredibly unbelievable.
The forms of blood spirits varied greatly, some were transformed from deceased humans, others from Secret Spirits, and their abilities and combat modes were vastly different.
To unify such diverse blood spirits into a cohesive force to execute such strict battle formations, not even the strongest commander in the City of No Tears could achieve this.
There were too many aspects involving the various types of blood spirits for them to operate in Battle Arrays, the difficulty of which was akin to man-pet coordinated combat.
Yet a single blood spirit had managed, trapping the Demon Corps against all odds, an unbelievable feat.
Jin Taohua, engaged in fierce battle with Feng Zhantian, was also overjoyed and surprised at this sight.
She had been cultivating Blood Spirit No. 6 along this path but never expected No. 6 could command a blood spirit corps so quickly, and the control exceeded her expectations greatly.
"What kind of extraordinary figure was No. 6 in life, possessing such an ability to command a corps, truly omnipotent..." Jin Taohua’s previously restless mood calmed down.
Initially, she wanted to quickly resolve Feng Zhantian, but Feng Zhantian’s abilities were also unfathomable, making it difficult to slay him swiftly; hence, she was anxious, worrying that if everyone in Abyss City were killed, defeating Feng Zhantian would be futile.
Now, Chen Guan’s sudden maneuver shifted the battle’s tide while altering both Jin Taohua’s and Feng Zhantian’s emotions.
Before, Jin Taohua was anxious; now, it was Feng Zhantian’s turn to be worried. He never imagined that a ragtag Blood Spirit Army could trap the elite corps from Wind Demon City and that the Demon Corps was struggling against the relentless assault of the blood spirits’ attrition tactics.
The Pet Corps fighting alongside the demon forces were being worn down and slain by the blood spirits; demon warriors were beginning to get injured, the situation looking increasingly grim.
