God of Pets Chapter 906: Always Ready to Accompany

The Emperor’s Above Sword surely has its flaws and limitations, but outsiders have no way of knowing the conditions under which the sword can lock onto its target.

Earlier, the divine patterns on Xiu Jieming were activated, and the Emperor’s Above Sword wasn’t able to lock onto him, so it wasn’t effective.

At this moment, more than half of the divine patterns on Xiu Jieming have dimmed, and the effect of the Secret Law is about to completely vanish. The Emperor’s Above Sword has already locked onto him, and no matter where he is, Qi Tianxin can strike him, ignoring any defenses.

It seems that the Emperor’s Above Sword is extremely effective in restraining Xiu Jieming, with its ability to ignore defenses, not even the Third Rank’s Return to the True Self could block it.

Return to the True Self likely isn’t entirely useless because if it were anyone else being struck now instead of Xiu Jieming, they would have been cleaved in two by a single stroke.

So far, the sword wounds on Xiu Jieming are only flesh wounds, unable to truly harm his vital parts.

Under the enhancement of the Third Rank’s Return to the True Self, the sword wounds on Xiu Jieming are healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Xiu Yingmei and the others clearly understand in their hearts that the Emperor’s Above Sword is not Qi Tianxin’s finishing move; it is just a means to test the remaining effects of the divine patterns on Xiu Jieming.

Once the Secret Law of the divine patterns loses all effect, that will be the time when Qi Tianxin truly uses his killing move.

"Big Brother..." Xiu Yingmei’s heart is filled with utmost worry, yet she can do nothing.

Qi Tianxin is even harder to defeat than imagined. Until now, Xiu Jieming hasn’t even managed to touch the corner of his robe.

As strong as Xiu Jieming is, it seems he is just being toyed with by Qi Tianxin.

"How many good things does this guy exactly have?" Chen Guan stared intently at the Emperor’s Above Sword in Qi Tianxin’s hand.

Since he returned until now, Qi Tianxin has used more than twenty Secret Treasures, each with unique abilities, none of them ordinary items.

Many of the Secret Treasures even made Chen Guan envious.

When Qi Tianxin came to hunt him before, he didn’t have time to take out so many Secret Treasures, just got persuaded to back off by someone.

After seeing it now, Chen Guan thought to himself that if Qi Tianxin had struck with full force, whether he would have survived was uncertain.

After watching for a while, Qin Qiu shook his head and said, "Qi Tianxin has been the Chief Judge for too long; who knows how many mystical items he has gathered in secret. Comparatively, the Xiu Family’s foundation is still too shallow. Xiu Jieming didn’t lose because his abilities are inferior to Qi Tianxin, but because his foundation is lacking."

"If Qi Tianxin gets re-elected as Chief Judge, it would likely harm the interests of our families in the future." Chu Jianfeng had also given up hope and was contemplating future matters.

Qin Qiu merely laughed and said, "Actually, there’s no need to worry about these things. Qi Tianxin paid an enormous price to win over the Dushan Sect and Xia Family, severely depleting himself. After re-election, he’ll barely have time to recuperate; where would he dare to make any moves?"

Chen Guan and Ji Nanhong exchanged a glance and realized they understood.

This election is a matter of life and death and the rise and fall of the family for the Xiu Family and Xiu Jieming.

But for the Ten Great Families, it’s just another contest.

Losing this time wouldn’t be detrimental to their core interests, and there’s even a chance that Qi Tianxin might cooperate with them again in the future.

Despite Qin Qiu’s confidence, Chen Guan felt no resentment; he was merely somewhat envious.

Privileges, when not with oneself, are always resisted; however, once those resisting privileges gain them, how many would continue to resist?

Chen Guan didn’t know if there would ever be true equality in the world, but what he was certain of was his own desire for privilege.

"Chen Guan, didn’t you believe Xiu Jieming would surely win? I agree to the bet you mentioned earlier, do you still dare to wager?" Feng Wuci’s voice came through.

As Xiu Jieming seemed on the brink of defeat, exhausted, Feng Wuci grew angrier the more she thought about it. Unless she let out this breath, even if she dealt with Chen Guan later, this moment’s grievance couldn’t be eased.

At this moment, she stood high and proud, feeling even a sense of contempt towards Chen Guan’s achievements.

"This Madam Qi is truly someone who immediately avenges her grievances without delay until the next day," Gu Shan remarked coldly.

"This story teaches us to never offend a woman, especially one with power and influence," Purple Robe laughed.

"I don’t like people like that," Gu Shan said.

"Not liking it doesn’t help; she paid such a hefty price to help the Soldier Lord solve the problem, and we have to honor our promise. Fortunately, we’ve done everything we needed to do, and won’t have to face her anymore. If you don’t like her, just avoid her in the future," Purple Robe suggested.

Gu Shan sighed: "It’s a pity about Xiu Jieming, he is a rare talent. Perhaps if he were Chief Judge, the Divine Land would be a bit different."

"Nothing would differ; regardless of who is Chief Judge, the Divine Land remains the Divine Land unless all the Celestial Kings are gone," Purple Robe’s words, though comforting Gu Shan, revealed some truth.

Wang Lian, standing beside, added, "Now that the Soldier Lord is completely unsealed, with unrestricted power, reaching the pinnacle soon, your efforts will soon be rewarded."

Purple Robe laughed, "Of course, there’s a reward; not only for the Soldier Lord but with Qi Tianxin’s re-election as Chief Judge, the Dushan Sect will benefit too, making many things more convenient."

Wang Lian glanced at Chen Guan among the Xiu Family’s camp and laughed, "Chen Guan has truly picked the wrong side this time; his future days may be quite difficult."

"Old grudges and new enmities, after the election, Qi Tianxin and Feng Wuci will surely not spare him, and no one can stop them this time," the Master of Ten Thousand Soldiers mused.

Now that her problematic fate was resolved, no longer needing to rely on others for survival, her previous thoughts of defecting to people like Chen Guan had faded quite a bit.

Wang Lian was obedient enough, and the Master of Ten Thousand Soldiers now found contentment in that.

Most people here have thoughts similar to theirs.

Only a few didn’t think this way, Ji Liuying being one of them. Casting a glance at Feng Wuci, she thought to herself, "Why can’t you just let things be? Why provoke him?"

Everything Chen Guan did was known to Xiu Jieming on the stage.

He had previously thought that what Chen Guan did was an attempt to sow discord between Feng Wuci and Qi Tianxin, to shake Qi Tianxin’s resolve.

His efforts were rather successful, but they hadn’t truly affected Qi Tianxin.

At this moment, as Feng Wuci turned the tables, Xiu Jieming knew that a clever person like Chen Guan could never agree to her wager anymore.

Xiu Jieming understood that it was difficult to stage a comeback, and Chen Guan knew it too; trying to bluff Feng Wuci was no longer possible.

"Of course, as long as you dare to bet, I’m always up for it."

Upon hearing Chen Guan’s response, Xiu Jieming’s pupils slightly contracted.
