God of Pets-Chapter 452: Supreme Passion Hand
Chen Guan finally saw the coastline. The Spirit King Ship followed the river into the inland. This river should be the Yellow Springs River.
After entering the Yellow Springs River, the speed of the Spirit King Ship significantly increased and was incredibly fast, more like flying in the sky than sailing in water.
The water beside the ship had no ripples at all as the Spirit King Ship flashed by, covering an unknown number of kilometers.
Chen Guan wondered if it was because the underworld influences from the ship’s bottom were gone, it seemed that the Spirit King Ship was now fully powered. When looking out from the cabin, the scenery had become somewhat blurry.
After just one night, by dawn, the Spirit King Ship’s speed finally slowed down, and Chen Guan saw some familiar river scenery.
Back then, he and Xiu Yingmei had drifted to Reincarnation City here; now, they were not far from Reincarnation City.
The crew on the Spirit King Ship was woken up shortly after entering the river.
Fujimura Reiko prepared a set of crew clothes for Chen Guan in advance, telling him to follow her commands and stay by her side.
The awakened crew members went about their duties without much communication, and no one investigated whether there was an extra person.
By the time the Spirit King Ship arrived at Reincarnation City, Shang Qingtian was already waiting at the dock with his people.
Chen Guan saw that the leading person resembled Shang Ziyi somewhat, but appeared older and much more composed, exuding a charm and scholarly elegance.
Just standing there, he commanded attention.
"Shang Qingtian is indeed very formidable. The power layout of so many forces in the Pingdu Mountain Secret Realm has been suppressed by him for decades. Reincarnation City has always been the largest force in the Pingdu Mountain Secret Realm, occupying the best resources. Such a figure is not an ordinary person." Chen Guan had previously researched the situation in Pingdu Mountain and knew that Shang Qingtian was someone the Shang Family had forcefully stationed in the Pingdu Mountain Secret Realm to maintain their interests there.
Otherwise, with Shang Qingtian’s abilities and talent, he should have gone to the Grotto Heaven twenty years ago.
However, this also indicates that Shang Qingtian’s lineage is not valued by King of Shang.
Otherwise, with Shang Qingtian’s qualifications and abilities, how could he have been forcibly detained for so long?
"The Composite Secret Skill, Emotional Apex Hand, remains uncracked today. It will be interesting to see it in action." Chen Guan thought to himself.
Besides Shang Qingtian, he only brought one person with him, Zhao Fuguo.
Everyone else on the dock had been cleared out; only the two of them remained.
Fujimura Reiko led Chen Guan and a few other crew members off the Spirit King Ship and came in front of Shang Qingtian.
"City Lord Shang, shall we begin the game now?" Fujimura Reiko asked directly without wasting words.
"Did you bring the Inner Core?" Shang Qingtian asked leisurely.
Fujimura Reiko and Chen Guan had already discussed this and shook her head, saying, "Of course, it’s not something to carry on me, but rest assured City Lord Shang, as long as you win the bet, that half Inner Core will naturally be yours."
Fujimura Reiko had no choice; the Spirit King Ship was not under her control and had to complete the game here according to the orders of the Eight Kings before it would automatically return.
But it didn’t matter, for Chen Guan planned to go back to the Divine Land via Pingdu Mountain and then proceed to Beimang Mountain Secret Realm.
If Shang Qingtian couldn’t accept it, then that would be ideal, as they could leave immediately.
"Very well." Shang Qingtian nodded, not saying more, apparently having great confidence in the Eight Kings’ credibility.
Fujimura Reiko and Chen Guan exchanged a glance. Since it was unavoidable, they had to go through with the bet.
During their time at sea, Fujimura Reiko had been diligently studying, and her Red Dust Palm had progressed, boosting her confidence.
Fujimura Reiko’s Red Dust Palm wasn’t as famous as Shang Qingtian’s Emotional Apex Hand, but it was well-known within the Celestial Court Army.
Specializing in breaking various Body Protection Secret Techniques, its palm power could penetrate through to directly attack the internal organs, similar to the saying of attacking through the mountain to strike the bull.
Those struck by the palm looked fine externally but internally might have been shattered.
If exchanging palms with someone, it could burst the opponent’s arm blood vessels or even bones, appearing normal on the outside but turning to mush on the inside.
The Red Dust Palm was domineering but possessed a somewhat soft power.
At the same Third Awakening peak of level 30, Fujimura Reiko believed her Red Dust Palm wouldn’t lose to Shang Qingtian’s Emotional Apex Hand.
"According to the agreement, if you can take one hit of my Emotional Apex Hand, it’s a win. Is it to the point of stopping, or to the death?" Shang Qingtian’s tone remained unhurried, not speaking quickly.
"Naturally, it will be until one side falls or admits defeat." Fujimura Reiko said.
"Very well, this way please." Shang Qingtian didn’t say much, walking to an open space on the dock.
Everyone stepped aside, leaving only Shang Qingtian and Fujimura Reiko on the open ground.
"Make your move." Fujimura Reiko focused on Shang Qingtian, mobilizing her Primordial Energy, fully prepared.
"Alright." Shang Qingtian replied, reaching out with the hand from his sleeve and striking towards Fujimura Reiko.
His palm strike wasn’t very fast, yet it was like illusions of flowers in the mirror or the moon in the water, seemingly swaying with the water ripples. Though it appeared to be in front, the next moment, it seemed further back.
Fujimura Reiko’s expression was solemn, and she too struck out with a palm.
Since it was agreed to decide the outcome with one palm, neither used any other Secret Skills or Secret Collections, relying purely on the strength of this Secret Skill.
Chen Guan watched from the side, clearly seeing that Shang Qingtian’s Palm Skill was quite mysterious.
Though it was just one palm, without any deceptive illusions, even he couldn’t truly determine where exactly the palm was.
It was like the reflection of the moon on the water, whose position changed mysteriously with the ripples.
Or like a fish in clear water, though you saw its position, that position wasn’t necessarily real.
"What an impressive technique." Chen Guan admired inwardly. Just by striking out, Shang Qingtian’s extraordinary nature was evident.
If it were him battling Shang Qingtian, he might not be able to touch Shang Qingtian’s hand, let alone block it.
Yet, Chen Guan knew he didn’t rely on such skills; to break the Emotional Apex Hand, he didn’t need so many tricks.
Confronted with such an eerie Palm Technique, Fujimura Reiko’s gaze remained calm, and she resolutely struck out with the Red Dust Palm, without the slightest hesitation, directly hitting Shang Qingtian’s hand.
The two palms clashed, Shang Qingtian’s body slightly swayed, but Fujimura Reiko remained immovable like a mountain.
Seeing this result, it appeared Fujimura Reiko had gained an advantage, but Chen Guan frowned.
Although the Red Dust Palm had a soft power, it was an explosive Palm Power, and its strength had been exhausted without knocking down Shang Qingtian.
Judging by the abnormal redness on Shang Qingtian’s face, he seemed internally injured, but he hadn’t fallen.
Instead, Fujimura Reiko’s expression seemed somewhat unfavorable.
Chen Guan noticed Fujimura Reiko’s hand that made contact with Shang Qingtian’s hand was once white and tender, devoid of any wrinkles.
But now on that hand, it seemed to have aged ten years, with fine lines appearing, and her skin’s condition was worsening.
This aging power was spreading from Fujimura Reiko’s hand towards her entire body.
"The Emotional Apex Hand actually possesses an aging force!" Chen Guan was stunned at the sight.
