God of Pets

Chapter 660 Palace Locks
The arrow, carrying the power to shatter the void, pierced through Jin Taohua's body after shattering the Peach Blossom Sword.

Just as Gong Jiuchuan was feeling smug, he suddenly sensed something was wrong.

The figure of Jin Taohua in front of him disappeared, but a tall figure appeared behind him.

Gong Jiuchuan realized what was happening and tried to turn around to look, but it was too late. He only heard Jin Taohua's voice coming from behind him.

"In the next life... don't be surnamed Gong..." Jin Taohua turned her back to Gong Jiuchuan and Gai Yunhu and swung her sword in a backhand motion.

The sword light slashed directly at Gong Jiuchuan's head. His armor was like tofu under the Peach Blossom Sword. The sword light swept past him, and Gong Jiuchuan's head separated from his body and flew into the air.

Gong Jiuchuan finally saw Jin Taohua standing in the air with her back to him; this was his last glimpse of her in this world.

With Gong Jiuchuan's death, his pet Gaiyunhu also turned into particles and dissipated.

Jin Taohua's body emitted a blood-red light that soared into the sky, and the Blood Spirit Banner appeared, absorbing Gong Jiuchuan's blood spirit into the banner, adding another fierce general to the Blood Spirit Army.

The soldiers and civilians of Ziyang City were thrilled, but the Gong and Shang families looked extremely grim.

Everyone knows Jin Taohua is powerful, but no one expected that a veteran expert like Gong Jiuchuan would be unable to withstand even a single blow from her.

"No wonder she has the reputation of being the world's number one female demon. Jin Taohua's strength has far exceeded her rank," Shang Yuguo, the person in charge of the business, exclaimed.

"Brother Yu Guo, we will handle Jin Tao Hua. We'll leave the siege to you." Gong Shisan said, cupping his fists to Shang Yu Guo.

"Don't worry, Brother Thirteen, I will certainly live up to your expectations." Shang Yuguo was assigned by the Shang family to assist the Gong family. Since he was not allowed to deal with the most troublesome Jin Taohua, he was more than happy to accept it.

"Elders, let us join forces to kill Jin Taohua and avenge the blood feud of Ninth Elder and the many disciples of my Gong family!" Gong Shisan was the first to soar into the sky, heading towards Jin Taohua.

The remaining six members of the Gong family also took to the air and attacked Jin Taohua from different directions.

Jin Taohua's Peach Blossom Sword disintegrated, transforming into a shower of peach blossoms that attacked Gong Shisan and the others. However, the seven people's vital energy surged and combined from different directions, forming a huge sphere of vital energy that locked Jin Taohua and the Peach Blossom Sword inside.

The tidal wave of petals collided repeatedly with the light sphere, creating terrifying explosions. However, all the power was locked within the light sphere, and no matter how the Peach Blossom Sword attacked, it could not break through the light barrier.

"A series of palace locks." Jin Taohua's eyes darkened slightly.

She had been an enemy of the Gong family for many years and was no stranger to this tactic.

The Palace Lock Chain is one of the unique combined attack techniques of the Palace family. It can be used by multiple people to form a sealing sphere of light, trapping people inside the sphere.

Then the energy sphere will continue to shrink until everything inside is crushed.

Jin Taohua had broken the Gong family's Palace Lock Chain many times before, but this time, the power of the Palace Lock Chain was stronger than ever before.

Although it was only seven people, the strength of the palace lock chain they formed exceeded that of the ten thousand-person palace lock chain that Jin Taohua had broken before.

With a thought, Jin Taohua conjured countless peach blossoms into the shape of a sword, which flew towards a certain direction, aiming to break through the palace lock chain by focusing on one point.

However, when the Peach Blossom Sword struck the inner wall of the light sphere, the inner wall of the light sphere shimmered, and a shield appeared, blocking the attack of the Peach Blossom Sword and sending it flying back.

Under Jin Taohua's command, the Peach Blossom Sword moved in other directions, but each time it approached the light barrier, a peculiar treasure would appear and block the Peach Blossom Sword.

"Flash Shield... Thunder Hook... Jade Shattering Ruler... Soul Refining Cauldron... Three Thousand Great Dao Banner... The Gong family really spares no expense..." Jin Taohua recognized the origins of several of the treasures and frowned slightly. On the city wall, many others also recognized the origins of those treasures.

"The Blitz Shield is Gong Wenzheng's destiny treasure. I heard that Gong Wenzheng is the guardian of the Gong family in Sima Cave Heaven, and his strength is unfathomable."

"That guy with the Wind and Thunder Hook must be Shen Fengchen. I heard that he won the championship in the competition held by the ten major families for ten consecutive years before the Gong family offered him a generous invitation."

"The Jade-Shattering Ruler... that must be the destiny treasure of Gong Tianya, the unparalleled genius of the Gong family a thousand years ago..."

"The Soul Refining Ancient Cauldron, isn't that the infamous Great Slaughter God Gu Lianyun's destiny treasure? How could it appear here? Could Gu Lianyun be a member of the Gong family?"

"The Three Thousand Great Dao Banners, this must be the Heavenly Mandate Treasure of the Grand Steward of the Gong family, right?"

The owners of these treasures were all renowned figures, people many would never even meet in their entire lives.

But now they've gathered here to kill Jin Taohua.

"If even one of these people had come to the rescue when Tianyang City was besieged, so many soldiers and civilians in Tianyang City wouldn't have ended up in such a state!" Nan Zilan gritted her teeth.

These terrifying beings, who don't slay demons on the battlefield, have come to kill their own people. How could Nan Zilan and others who crawled out of piles of corpses not grit their teeth in hatred?

“Peach Blossom is fighting seven against one, but she is trapped by the Palace Locks and I’m afraid she will have a hard time dealing with it…” Ximen Bing looked at Teng Mingli.

Teng Mingli looked at Nan Zilan, and seeing Nan Zilan nod, she said, "The Ziyang Legion is preparing..."

"Commander Teng, let me try first. We should prioritize defending the city," Bai Xiuyan stopped Teng Mingli.

The Ziyang Corps' regular army only has a little over four hundred men. If they were to break out of the city, Ziyang City would be difficult to defend.

"Brother Bai, rest assured, I will defend Ziyang City to the very end." Teng Mingli had already planned ahead; the task of supplying the city's defensive shields would be completed by the troops incorporated from the Dumb City.

Chen Suo and Chen Si were the commanders of the new recruits, respectively, and were under the command of the overall commander, Teng Mingli.

"That won't be necessary. Brother Zi wouldn't want to see you die in battle either. If things go wrong, you can send someone out of Ziyang City and teleport back to Shenzhou. We can discuss things further when Brother Zi returns. Under no circumstances should you fight to the death," Bai Xiuyan instructed Teng Mingli.

"Okay," Fujina Rei replied.

Bai Xiuyan leaped onto his sword, charging towards the Gong family's Palace Lock Chain like a white-clad sword immortal.

But just as he flew out of the city, he was stopped by an old man who also wielded a sword.

The old man had white hair and beard, and a sword imbued with the aura of a dragon blocked Bai Xiuyan's path.

"Nephew Bai, do you still remember this old man?" the old man said, stroking his beard.

Upon seeing the old man, Bai Xiuyan's expression turned solemn, and he bowed respectfully, saying, "Senior Shang, I have never forgotten your kindness in bestowing your skills upon me back then."

“Since you still remember me, Nephew Bai, then I will say something that we should say as family. Ziyang City is a den of iniquity and not a place for an honest person like you. Come back to Shang with me. With me here, Shang will not let you down,” the old man said.
