God of Pets-Chapter 398: As Easy as Turning One’s Hand
When Chen Guan appeared above the Cloud Sea with the Blood Spirit Army, he saw a scene where countless Secret Treasures pressed the ground like dark clouds.
All over the heavens and the earth, in every direction, there were all sorts of Secret Treasures flying around, too numerous to count.
These Secret Treasures centered around Jin Taohua, forming an enormous Secret Treasure Array that trapped Jin Taohua inside.
As soon as the Blood Spirit Army appeared, they engaged in a fierce battle with the Secret Treasure Array, and then large numbers of Blood Spirits were annihilated by the array.
Chen Guan didn’t dare to jump out and command right away but hid among the Blood Spirits, observing the current situation.
This Secret Treasure Array was composed of various Secret Treasure Weapons and, under the command of Feng Qiancheng who wielded a Silver Hook, Jin Taohua was heavily besieged within it.
At first glance, Chen Guan nearly didn’t recognize Jin Taohua. Her current appearance, resembling a Fairy from the heavens, was very different from her usual witch-like, unapproachable demeanor.
Additionally, with a mask on her face, if it weren’t for her being the only one standing at the center of the array, Chen Guan indeed wouldn’t have recognized her.
Jin Taohua appeared to be in a perilous situation. She had a wound on her shoulder, with fresh blood seeping out, staining the pink shoulder area of her Immortal Robe dark red, and the bloodstained area was slowly expanding.
"Why are there three Feng Qianchengs?" Chen Guan was astonished; these three Feng Qianchengs had identical armor, masks, weapons, and physiques.
The Blood Spirits kept assaulting the Secret Treasure Array, but compared to those Secret Treasures, the combat power of the Blood Spirits was evidently weaker. The Blood and Qi Bodies were extremely fragile compared to the Secret Treasures.
A large number of Blood Spirits were slaughtered by the Secret Treasures; even the Sixth Awakening Blood Spirits could hardly survive within the array.
Fortunately, there were enough Blood Spirits, temporarily using the tactics of masses to withstand the slaughter of the Secret Treasure Array.
There were also a few injured Secret Spirit Pets beside Jin Taohua, looking even worse.
As Chen Guan expected, unless there was no other choice, Jin Taohua wouldn’t have used the Blood Spirit Banner; it was a desperate measure.
"Jin Taohua, surrender now. It’s indeed extraordinary for you to fight to this extent against us three brothers. If only you pledge allegiance to Wind Demon City, we won’t treat you unfairly," said Feng Baicheng.
"Humans see you as a viper, why join them?" Feng Qiancheng also remarked.
Jin Taohua paid them no heed; the Blood Spirit Banner and the Peach Blossom Sword hovered by her side, her gaze swept across the Secret Treasure Array, seemingly contemplating how to break the array.
"This Nine Heavens Resentment Array is the result of years of our efforts. It requires us three brothers to wield the Celestial Destiny Stars and Resentment Demon Hooks simultaneously, using the Power of Resentment, paired with the countless Secret Treasures we’ve plundered over the years, to form this unparalleled array."
"Within the Grotto Heaven, the Nine Heavens Resentment Array is invincible. Not to mention you alone, even a massive army of Sixth Awakening Cultivators can’t stand against this array, only facing annihilation."
"Slaying Jin Taohua, we admire your talent, hence sparing your life. Do not be mistaken."
The Feng Family brothers continued to taunt Jin Taohua with words.
Although their intentions were malicious, what they said was not false.
Chen Guan saw in the array the myriad Secret Treasures radiating with their own terrifying powers, fearing they weren’t of low level, and their numbers must have been in the tens of thousands.
"So many pointless words." Suddenly, the Peach Blossom Sword beside Jin Taohua flew out, transforming into a Sword Rainbow, slicing into the Secret Treasure Array, shattering one Secret Treasure after another in its path, rendering the Treasures in the array as fragile as mere dirt.
Feng Baicheng threw out his Silver Hook, trying to lock the Peach Blossom Sword.
But the Peach Blossom Sword simply turned in the air and returned to Jin Taohua’s side.
"Since you are determined to seek death, then don’t blame us for being merciless." A murderous intent flashed in the Feng Family brothers’ eyes as they exchanged glances, focusing their powers on the Silver Hooks.
Three Resentment Demon Hooks soared into the sky, flying towards Jin Taohua from three different directions, driving the Nine Heavens Resentment Array to fiercely slaughter the Blood Spirit Army.
Though numerous, the Blood Spirit Army couldn’t withstand such slaughter. As the Secret Treasure Array continued to constrict, the Blood Spirit Army was about to collapse.
Chen Guan realized that even if he rallied the Blood Spirit Army, it would be useless; the Secret Treasure Array was a victory of treasures, entirely different from a traditional Battle Array.
Blood Spirits, no matter how well-coordinated, couldn’t withstand the unrestricted assaults of the Secret Treasures.
"It seems Jin Taohua’s fate is sealed this time!" Chen Guan had no choice but to start devising an escape strategy.
He contemplated whether to take this opportunity to test if breaking his Da Luo Dream Butterfly form would allow him to return to his physical body.
However, he thought it might be too risky. If breaking the Da Luo Dream Butterfly form also destroyed his consciousness, wouldn’t that be disastrous?
"I should try to encourage Jin Taohua," thought Chen Guan, as he looked at Jin Taohua, who was observing the approaching Secret Treasure Array with a frown, seemingly in deep thought.
"Peach Blossom... I have remembered some things..." Chen Guan spoke with a deliberately deep voice, as if a forgotten ancient power regaining its memories was contemplating the meaning of life.
Upon hearing Chen Guan’s intimate address, Jin Taohua’s expression turned somewhat strange.
"What did you remember?" Jin Taohua questioned Chen Guan, cold as always, her usual aloof demeanor unchanged, even in her Fairy-like form.
"I remembered that I was once invincible in the world." Chen Guan calmly continued, "In the past, such a Secret Treasure Array could be broken with a flick of my hand, killing them would be like slaughtering chickens and dogs."
Upon hearing this, Jin Taohua didn’t think Chen Guan was bragging. From the Secret Techniques she obtained from Chen Guan, if they were indeed his creations, he might have possessed such abilities in the past.
"But now I have no power and cannot help you kill enemies." Chen Guan sighed, then said, "However, it doesn’t matter, with your talent and abilities, breaking the array and defeating the enemy should be an easy feat."
"You’re right, breaking the array and defeating enemies is indeed as easy as pie for me," Jin Taohua retorted.
Chen Guan was taken aback; this was not quite the reaction he expected. He was prepared to praise Jin Taohua’s unparalleled talent, the best he’d seen in thousands of years, far exceeding even the Celestial King Chief Judge’s, and even surpassing him.
With just a bit more effort, she could break the Nine Heavens Resentment Array.
But Jin Taohua’s response left his upcoming words lodged in his throat, unable to speak them.
Jin Taohua no longer paid attention to Chen Guan. She grasped the Peach Blossom Sword, and a strange surge of power rose from her, as if a Celestial Immortal had descended upon her.
Chen Guan quickly retreated a bit, knowing this was Jin Taohua’s Hidden Power.
But a single person’s Hidden Power, no matter how strong, could hardly stand against such a large array composed of tens of thousands of Secret Treasures, right?
And in the array, there were three Celestial Destiny Secret Treasures, not inferior to the Peach Blossom Sword, and three level-60 demon brothers.
Chen Guan watched Jin Taohua from afar, realizing that she not only activated her Hidden Power but her entire state seemed different.
