God of Pets-Chapter 473: 1 Against 8

"Good, courageous, discerning, capable. I admire people like you. What’s your name?" Gong Mingwang spoke unexpectedly, not ordering Chen Guan’s death but rather smiling as he spoke.

It was unclear what secret skill he used, but his voice reached Chen Guan clearly over such a long distance.

"Zi Donglai." Chen Guan looked at Gong Mingwang with interest.

It was his first time dealing with the Gong Family, but not his first knowing about the Gong Family and Celestial Void Palace.

Previously, when Chen Guan was in Jin Taohua’s Blood Spirit Banner, he watched her destroy a branch of Celestial Void Palace, slicing Gong Family members to the last, leaving not even a dog.

Originally, Chen Guan thought this was basic operation from Jin Taohua, just for personal reasons.

Similar to humans hunting animals for their beautiful fur, just for their skins.

Later, after learning more about Jin Taohua, he found out she wasn’t that kind of person, nor the kind to kill for pleasure as the legends said.

After leaving the Blood Spirit Banner, Chen Guan specifically checked some information on Jin Taohua and Celestial Void Palace.

With the Celestial Court Army’s database, Chen Guan knew more than ordinary people.

Although the information mostly described Jin Taohua’s brutal acts, Chen Guan, through details and snippets combined with his understanding of her, could discern some issues.

Chen Guan highly suspected that Jin Taohua’s reputation was likely crafted by Celestial Void Palace.

Back then, several major forces besieging Jin Taohua seemed led by Celestial Void Palace.

Chen Guan didn’t understand the hatred between Gong Family and Jin Taohua, but such means couldn’t be called honorable.

Hence, Chen Guan didn’t think well of the Gong Family and Celestial Void Palace, but wouldn’t decide what to do based on personal likes or dislikes.

At least this member of the Gong Family before him seemed different.

"My name is Gong Mingwang, currently the Flying Dragon Knight Order’s commander. I sincerely invite you to join the Flying Dragon Knight Order as deputy commander. What do you say?" Gong Mingwang said.

Xie Shixi and Chu Yusi were greatly surprised, not expecting Gong Mingwang to recruit Chen Guan as deputy commander rather than kill him.

Though not the only deputy commander, it’s still one of the top roles in the knight order’s authority pyramid.

Xie Shixi and the others, joining the Flying Dragon Knight Order, would start as bottom-level soldiers, a vastly different treatment.

"If Gong Mingwang knew he’s only Level 21, would he still invite him as deputy commander?" someone muttered jealously.

Chu Yutian shook his head, saying nothing. He felt this outcome was already good; at least everyone preserved their lives.

No one believed Chen Guan would refuse, thinking that gaining benefits from killing the Giant Mountain Whale meant joining the Flying Dragon Knight Order was his only path, especially with such favorable terms offered.

"I can join the Flying Dragon Knight Order, but I won’t be the deputy commander." Chen Guan said.

Chu Yutian, hearing Chen Guan’s tone, suddenly had a strange expression.

"He’s not going to say ..." Xie Shixi, having a similar feeling as Chu Yutian, also showed an unusually complex expression.

"What do you want to be then?" Gong Mingwang asked.

"Naturally the commander. If you invite me to join the Flying Dragon Knight Order, I must be its leader." Chen Guan’s words shocked everyone in the order.

"My heavens ... he really dares to say it ..." Xie Shixi suddenly realized that Chen Guan had been very modest earlier while speaking to them.

Compared to the Flying Dragon Knight Order, their small alliance of fewer than twenty people was insignificant.

Gong Mingwang’s smile vanished, staring at Chen Guan: "You may not know, but I don’t like joking and never joke."

"I’m not joking either." Chen Guan replied.

The previously eased atmosphere due to Gong Mingwang turned tense again, even more so than before, as if the air smelled of gunpowder.

"Capture him." Gong Mingwang, looking at Chen Guan, said lightly.

With Gong Mingwang’s order, a small team from the Flying Dragon Knight Order immediately dove towards Chen Guan, riding flying dragons, aiming their long spears precisely at him.

Using the dragons’ dive power and speed, this attack’s force far exceeded normal thrusts.

Chen Guan watched as the small squad approached, not showing any intent to attack, only releasing the Evil Spirit Blood Sword in his hand.

The sword instantly floated by itself, transforming into a sword rainbow shooting out.

Giving no time for the Flying Dragon Knight Order to react, the sword rainbow pierced through the dragons like skewers, then returned to hover behind Chen Guan.

In the next second, blood burst across the sky, eight dragons of the squad exploded like fireworks, blood and flesh flying.

Flying Dragon Knights fell onto the Giant Mountain Whale’s corpse, covered in the flying dragon’s flesh and blood, faces pale, looking at Chen Guan and the Evil Spirit Blood Sword with fear.

Their flying dragon mounts were Level 30 pets, large in other Blessed Secret Realms.

During their capture, they relied on numbers and the army’s battle array to kill them.

One-on-one, typical Level 30 cultivators weren’t matches for these dragons.

In terms of physical attributes, humans greatly differ from dragons; it’s normal for humans of the same level to be weaker than Secret Spirits.

Yet the giant sword killed eight dragons in the blink of an eye, displaying terrifying power, enough for elite Third Awakening combat.

"Strong sword spirit pet, good speed." Gong Mingwang wasn’t surprised; he’d seen many powerful pets. The Evil Spirit Blood Sword only showed extraordinary speed, not enough for shock.

"Since you spared lives, I’ll give you another chance. Join the Flying Dragon Knight Order as my deputy." Gong Mingwang offered again.

Gong Mingwang never believed one person’s strength could change much.

Mankind has long moved past the era of individual heroism, needing army cooperation for immense power, whether in Blessed Land or Grotto Heaven.

One person, despite strength, is limited in actions.

Thus, Gong Mingwang always pursued a formidable army, not individual invincibility.

His created secret skills mostly suited army combat, so he didn’t mind many learning them; the more the better.

Once they learned his secret skills, they’d immediately form army strength under him.

"I’ll say it again, I can join the Flying Dragon Knight Order, but let me be commander." Chen Guan spoke leisurely.
