God of Pets

Chapter 403 Emperor's Tomb
While enduring the siege of the Yellow Springs Yin Soldiers, the army launched an attack on the stone platform.

Despite their best efforts, the various battalions were unable to capture Shitai.

The four underworld generals unleashed a variety of secret techniques, leading their underworld soldiers in a fierce battle against the army, managing to hold back the army's offensive.

A battalion commander of the same rank couldn't gain any advantage when fighting against Huang Quan Yin Jiang and was even killed in a very sorry state.

If it weren't for the pets protecting them, the battalion commander would probably have already died at the hands of the underworld general.

Chen Guan saw that among the four Yellow Springs Yin Generals, one used two swords, one used a spear, and the other wielded a strange heavy weapon, which he did not know what it was called.

The other underworld general was even stranger; he used a large flag.

As the banner was waved, a chilling wind blew and a thick fog enveloped the area. The tip of the banner was a sharp weapon, and every strike was unexpected.

Sword energy pierced the air, spears crisscrossed, and those strange heavy weapons nearly destroyed the shield of the Second Battalion Commander, who was skilled in shield techniques, and killed him.

The steed Zhaoye, ridden by the second battalion commander, could not withstand the terrifying force of the impact. Its front legs buckled, and it knelt down.

These underworld generals are even more powerful than the Ghost Emperor they killed before.

Seeing that the army could not take the lead for a while, Xiu Jieming finally made his move.

He pointed, and a long sword shot out, instantly flying up to the high platform. It circled a Yellow Springs Yin General once before flying back to Xiu Jieming's side and automatically falling back into its sheath.

The head of the Yellow Springs General separated from his body and fell off the back of the Yin Horse.

The troops' morale soared, and they seized the opportunity to rush onto the platform.

"This is the Heavenly Escape Sword Technique, isn't it?" Chen Guan could see some of its secrets.

He suddenly realized that the Heavenly Escape Sword Technique passed down by Chunyang Temple was similar to the secret techniques of the Cave Heaven, but quite different from the secret techniques of the Blessed Land.

Only within the grotto-heaven can one learn similar sword control techniques, and some may even learn some secret flying skills.

In the blessed land and secret realm, it is rare to hear of anyone who knows the art of sword control.

The main problem is that most sword control techniques and flight skills have limitations such as level and number of awakenings, so cultivators in blessed lands have no chance to master those skills.

After killing one of the Yellow Springs Yin Generals, Xiu Jieming stopped making moves.

The army's offensive became even more fierce, and they killed the other Yellow Springs Yin Generals by relying on their battle formation.

However, they soon discovered that, apart from the Yellow Springs Yin Generals killed by Xiu Jieming, the other Yellow Springs Yin Generals would quickly revive in the mist after being killed and continue to fight, as if they were immortal beings that could never be destroyed.

Xiu Jieming once again summoned his flying sword and beheaded the remaining three Yellow Springs Yin Generals.

Those Yin generals who were beheaded by Xiu Jieming's sword lost their ability to resurrect and could never stand up again.

"Xiu Jieming is indeed Xiu Jieming, he's really strong." Hu Quan, who was observing from the shadows, had a flicker in his eyes.

The stronger Xiu Jieming becomes, the more trouble he will cause them in the future.

Chen Guan also admired the power of the Heavenly Escape Sword Technique. This flying sword-like skill seemed even more elegant and agile than the Pure Yang Sword Immortal's, and its attack power seemed to be not much weaker than the Pure Yang Sword Immortal's.

However, Chen Guan was also aware that although the Heavenly Escape Sword Technique was powerful, it was ultimately not as comprehensive as the Pure Yang Sword Immortal's.

After all four Yellow Springs Yin Generals were killed, the Yellow Springs Yin Soldiers, who had been like a surging tide, suddenly disappeared, leaving the Imperial Mausoleum Garden completely empty.

The soldiers, still locked in fierce combat, remained in all sorts of bizarre and unpredictable states, but their opponents had vanished without a trace.

Chen Guan narrowed his eyes slightly and saw a figure emerging from the mist on the stone platform.

Xiu Jieming raised his hand, signaling the troops to cease their attack and maintain their defensive formation. All eyes turned to the figure on the stone platform, and as the figure gradually became clearer, everyone could see it clearly.

Emerging from the mist was a female underworld general clad in black armor.

She stood in the center of the stone platform, clad in black armor, a sword at her waist, and a spear held upside down in one hand. Her gaze, sharp as a sword, swept over the crowd as she coldly said, "To enter the Emperor's Tomb and obtain the supreme emperor's inheritance, you must first pass my test."

The group exchanged bewildered glances, never expecting to encounter a highly intelligent spirit here, and even that this large tomb contained some kind of inheritance.

"Which one is the Great Emperor in the Tomb?" Xiu Jieming asked, looking at the female Yin General.

"The Netherworld Emperor," the female Yin General replied.

This answer surprised everyone. Anyone familiar with the Beimang Mountain Secret Realm knows that there are many mysterious relics related to the Netherworld Emperor within it.

Many people have received powerful inheritances and benefits from those ruins.

However, to this day, no one knows what kind of mysterious spirit this Netherworld Emperor is.

Some even suspect that the Netherworld Emperor is not a spirit of the Northern Mang Mountain Secret Realm at all, but a spirit of a higher rank, and that the relics related to him are simply scattered here.

Unexpectedly, this person is buried in this large tomb.

"This is actually the tomb of the Netherworld Emperor?" Hu Quan was also taken aback, as he had naturally heard about the Netherworld Emperor.

In fact, not only in the secret realm of Beiman Mountain, but also in other blessed lands and grotto heavens, mysterious relics related to the Netherworld Emperor have been discovered.

To this day, no one knows the origin of this mysterious spirit, nor where he is. It is truly unexpected that he would be buried in this blessed land.

"I wonder how to get through this hurdle?" Xiu Jieming asked the female general again.

"You only need to defeat me to pass through this level and enter the Emperor's Tomb," the female Yin General said.

Xiu Jieming's gaze swept over the assembled generals: "Who wants to give it a try?"

"This humble general is willing to go!" the generals said in unison, clasping their hands in a fist salute.

"Meng Xian, why don't you give it a try?" Xiu Jieming's gaze fell on Meng Xian.

"Yes, sir." Meng Xian responded with a grin, spurring his horse out from the ranks. With a flick of the reins, the Night-Shining Lion Horse leaped up and landed on the stone platform.

"How do you intend to fight?" Meng Xian asked, pointing his spear at the female Yin General.

Without uttering a word, the woman rushed towards Meng Xian at high speed like a ghost.

Just as he was about to approach Meng Xian, he suddenly leaped up and swung his spear forward like a venomous snake emerging from its hole, aiming for Meng Xian on horseback.

"You're courting death!" Meng Xian sneered, maneuvering his Night-Shining Lion Horse while wildly brandishing his spear, aiming it at the female Yin General in mid-air.

His horsemanship and marksmanship were impeccable; among the Qilin Legion, only Zhu Hongzhi could rival him in both.

The woman was suspended in mid-air, seemingly powerless to turn the tide; at most, she could only parry Meng Xian's attack with her spear.

However, the female general in the air did not retaliate with her spear to save herself. Instead, she moved three feet to the side in the air in a strange manner, not only dodging Meng Xian's spear, but also thrusting her spear towards Meng Xian, who had already ridden away on horseback.

Meng Xian suddenly swung his spear to parry the spear thrust at him by the female general, but the spear was broken in two by the spear.

Meng Xian was terrified and tumbled off his horse. His steed, Zhaoye Lion, had its head smashed by the female general's spear and died on the spot.
