Chapter 389 I Only Have One Sword

The City Without Tears.

City Lord Gu Xunfeng was reviewing his troops atop the city tower, watching the soldiers of the City of No Tears train.

At this time, the City of No Tears was the front line of humanity's fight against the demons, with more than 200,000 humans stationed there, including more than 50,000 Sixth Awakening cultivators.

The purpose was to permanently imprison the demon north of the Nine Mountains, preventing him from crossing even a single step.

Recently, the demons have been active in Jiushan, and Gu Xunfeng has also intensified the training of his soldiers in preparation for war.

"Lord City Lord, Abyss City has sent another letter requesting military support," Li Xingang, the adjutant, whispered as he approached Gu Xunfeng.

"Let things that should be buried in the dust go where they belong," Gu Xunfeng said calmly.

"How do you know that what should be buried in the dust is Abyss City, and not you, Gu Xunfeng?" A faint, ethereal voice came from the void, echoing above the City of No Tears.

A tall woman in purple armor, with an air of dominance, flew through the air and stood in the void, looking down at the City of No Tears and the tens of thousands of soldiers training in front of the city, as well as Gu Xunfeng and his generals on the city gate tower.

"Jin Taohua... what are you doing in my City of No Tears..." Everyone was startled when they saw Jin Taohua, and Gu Xunfeng frowned as he spoke.

Even in a place like the City of No Tears, Jin Taohua's name still carries great influence. Unless absolutely necessary, Gu Xunfeng is unwilling to fall out with Jin Taohua.

After all, Jin Taohua had recently destroyed the Tianxu Palace branch of Cangwu Cave Heaven without leaving a single survivor. She was an incredibly terrifying being. No one would dare to provoke such a female demon unless they were mortal enemies.

"I'm here to tell you that the City of No Tears needs to send troops to Abyss City," Jin Taohua said calmly.

"What if I don't send troops?" Gu Xunfeng said coldly.

“Then let’s find another Lord of the Tearless City who is willing to send troops.” Jin Taohua said casually, but her words enraged all the soldiers and generals of the Tearless City.

"Jin Taohua, with the demon in front of me, I am unwilling to argue with you. Do you really think I am afraid of you?" Gu Xunfeng's voice was even colder, but he still maintained his composure. He stood on the city gate tower, his body straight, without the slightest fear.

"Do you have the guts to argue with me?" As Jin Taohua spoke, her slender fingers moved, and a narrow, pink sword, as delicate as a peach blossom, appeared between her fingers.

These words further enraged the masses, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers inside and outside the city drew their swords and pointed them at Jin Taohua in the sky.

"I only have one sword, and I only want to kill one person today. I'll ask you one more time: are you sending troops or not?" Jin Taohua said expressionlessly, one hand gripping the hilt of her sword, the other hand gently stroking the blade with her jade-like fingers.

"I'm afraid I can't comply." As soon as Gu Xunfeng finished speaking, Jin Taohua's Peach Blossom Sword transformed into a sword rainbow and pierced through the city gate of the City of No Tears.

This sword strike was as beautiful as peach blossoms in March, dazzlingly gorgeous.

"Insolence!" More than a dozen generals shouted in unison, each summoning their secret treasures to block the peach blossom sword.

Swords, spears, halberds, clubs, hooks, and more than a dozen other weapons rose into the air, each carrying a different kind of divine light, to intercept the peach blossom sword.

However, in just one exchange, the Peach Blossom Sword instantly pierced and shattered those secret treasures.

Fragments of the secret treasure scattered everywhere, like peach petals falling from the sky.

Gu Xunfeng drew his sword and slashed at the Peach Blossom Sword, whose speed remained undiminished.

As the swords clashed, Gu Xunfeng's blade shattered into fragments under the Peach Blossom Sword.

All the generals were horrified, and Gu Xunfeng could not hide the shock on his face. He changed his movements quickly, but he could not get rid of the tip of the Peach Blossom Sword.

In an instant, the Peach Blossom Sword was already fixed on Gu Xunfeng's heart. Amidst hundreds of thousands of troops, that Peach Blossom Sword was like the Grim Reaper's scythe, ready to take Gu Xunfeng's life at any moment.

"Lord!" The generals were both shocked and furious, and they all summoned their pets and secret treasures.

The soldiers outside the city and the guards on the city wall were the same. In an instant, pets and treasures were everywhere, both in the sky and on the ground, surrounding Jin Taohua.

"When I came, no one could stop me; when I leave, no one can defeat me. If I want to kill, that person must die. Unless I don't want to kill, no one can save your life." Ignoring the heavy encirclement, Jin Taohua looked at Gu Xunfeng on the city gate tower, whose chest was pressed against the Peach Blossom Sword, and said calmly, "Gu Xunfeng, I'll ask you one last time, are you going to send troops or not?"

"The people in Abyss City are all sinners. Why should I send troops to fight for them?" Gu Xunfeng remained calm and composed, his expression unchanged.

Phew!

The Peach Blossom Sword pierced through Gu Xunfeng's heart, and blood, like peach blossoms, bloomed on his chest and back. Even his secret treasure armor could not stop the Peach Blossom Sword in the slightest.

"Lord of the city..." The generals were all shocked. They did not expect that this female demon was really so arrogant that she would kill people at the slightest disagreement.

"Kill her..." the lieutenant roared.

All the soldiers and pets charged towards Jin Taohua.

Jin Taohua snorted coldly, turned her body, and vanished into a shower of peach blossoms, disappearing without a trace.

"Three days... If I don't see the reinforcements from the City of No Tears in Abyss City after three days... I will kill one person a day... starting with the highest-ranking general... until the reinforcements arrive in Abyss City..." The female demon's voice echoed continuously in the void.

No one can stop it, and no one can halt it.

Although the generals of the City of No Tears were furious and wanted to tear Jin Taohua to pieces, they were helpless.

When Chen Guan was summoned again, Jin Taohua had already returned to her house in Abyss City.

Less than an hour had passed, and Chen Guan had no idea what great things Jin Taohua had accomplished during that time.

"Give me a shoulder massage," Jin Taohua ordered Chen Guan, sitting on the sofa.

Chen Guan moved very swiftly, walking directly behind Jin Taohua, extending his blood-red hand, and pressing it on Jin Taohua's shoulder, gently massaging it with controlled pressure.

"What did you remember again?" Jin Taohua asked with her eyes closed.

"I remember...some things..." Chen Guan recited some passages from the original text of the First Secret Method while massaging the area.

Actually, these passages are useless and are not the true secret method.

Of these tens of thousands of words, only the small portion deciphered by Chen Guan is truly useful.

Jin Taohua remained silent, enjoying Chen Guan's service while listening to him recite the content.

She was very satisfied with Chen Guan's spirituality, feeling that this was what a blood spirit should be like.

Chen Guan wasn't stupid, so of course he couldn't memorize too much at once. After memorizing some, he pretended that he couldn't remember the rest.

Jin Taohua didn't care. She wasn't in the mood to think about these things right now; it was just a casual question.

Now she was wondering whether the City of No Tears would send troops to support Abyss City. If they didn't, she feared that Abyss City would eventually be taken over by the demons.
