God of Pets-Chapter 530: Unified Offense and Defense

When Chen Guan threw his punch, Shang Feiyu had already used the technique of leveraging power to redirect force. He placed his palm on Chen Guan’s arm, intending to deflect the force and use Chen Guan’s strength against him.

However, no matter how hard he tried, Chen Guan seemed as immovable as a mountain. Not only could he not leverage the power, but even redirecting it proved impossible.

Chen Guan’s punch landed solidly on Shang Feiyu’s chest, and not even the Celestial Duty Ability of the Feather Robe could mitigate the impact. He was directly sent flying. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

His outcome was slightly better than Chu Jianxiong’s, as he had first used the power of the Celestial Destiny Star, and the Feather Robe managed to block part of the force. However, his chest bones still fractured, his internal organs were damaged, and blood spewed from his mouth, leaving him with little fighting capacity.

The onlookers on the city wall were all shocked.

Both Shang Feiyu and Chu Jianxiong were considered top figures among the Fourth Awakened, yet neither could withstand a single punch from this man. As for the origin of this man, they had no clue.

They now suspected that perhaps someone from the Ten Great Families had secretly cultivated such a figure.

If Chu Jianxiong’s defeat was attributed to his carelessness and lack of knowledge about this person’s strength and capabilities,

then Shang Feiyu’s defeat only proved that this person was extraordinarily strong.

"Remarkable!" exclaimed some Fourth Awakened Cultivators who originally came to participate in the Hero Conference but had now gathered on the city wall, many witnessing Chen Guan’s punch shattering Shang Feiyu.

"This person’s strength is unparalleled. I’m afraid only Brother Jiang can match him," Zhang Xuanqing said, looking at Jiang Yunxiang.

Jiang Yunxiang replied, "Even in terms of strength, I might not be his match. I’m not sure which family produced such a figure. Among the Fourth Awakened, the only one who could definitely overpower him in strength is probably Gong Wudi."

"So, Brother Jiang, do you have a strategy to win?" Zhang Xuanqing asked with a smile.

"It’s nothing more than using softness to overcome hardness, cleverness to defeat clumsiness, and speed to overcome slowness. His power is unparalleled. Without using the Celestial Destiny Star’s ability, he already made the Celestial Star-empowered Shang Feiyu unable to withstand a single blow. This shows the strength of his power. Generally, those who train in strength might fall short in speed and skill. If I use speed to counter his lack of agility, I should be able to win," Jiang Yunxiang said.

"Then we’ll rely on you for this bout, Brother Jiang," Zhang Xuanqing said, bowing.

Jiang Yunxiang already had the intention to contest and did not refuse. He leaped from the city wall and approached Chen Guan.

"Who are you? Which family do you represent?" Chen Guan asked as Jiang Yunxiang approached.

"I represent the Jiang Family to challenge you. If I lose, the Jiang Family will not pursue this matter further," Jiang Yunxiang replied with a smile, "May I ask for your name?"

"A nobody," Chen Guan still did not answer.

"Since you choose not to say, then let us fight." Jiang Yunxiang wasted no time. His body accelerated suddenly, leaving behind afterimages, as if multiple Jiang Yunxiangs were attacking Chen Guan from different directions.

Chen Guan’s best body technique was the One-Night Step, and his most adept skill was the Martial Arts Rhythm from Shang Ziyi. However, these were too revealing of his identity, so naturally, he couldn’t use them in front of everyone.

By not using these techniques, his speed couldn’t match Jiang Yunxiang, so he simply stood still and let Jiang Yunxiang attack him.

Seeing Chen Guan unmoved, Jiang Yunxiang knew his judgment was correct.

For someone with such unparalleled power, his skills and speed were bound to be somewhat lacking.

As his body technique shifted, Jiang Yunxiang’s true form was already behind Chen Guan, his palm gathering the Power of Thunder, he struck at the back of Chen Guan’s heart.

This palm was his most adept Purple Thunder Palm Heart Thunder Secret Skill, not only incredibly explosive but also possessing a paralyzing effect. Even if one strike couldn’t incapacitate Chen Guan, it would render him unable to fight back.

Boom!

Jiang Yunxiang’s palm landed unerringly on Chen Guan’s back, with purple electric rays scattering immediately.

Everyone thought Jiang Yunxiang had succeeded and was jubilant, only to see Chen Guan, who had been struck, standing unmoved, while Jiang Yunxiang was knocked backward instead.

After Jiang Yunxiang hit the ground, he convulsed as if having an epileptic seizure, purple electric arcs leaping from his body intermittently.

"What’s going on... Isn’t his secret skill an attack type? How come it also has a counter-damage ability? Could it be a kind of Body Protection Secret Skill?" Zhang Xuanqing and others were greatly surprised.

It was clear that Jiang Yunxiang was harmed by his own Purple Thunder Palm Heart Thunder, leaving him paralyzed.

However, only Body Protection Secret Skills have counter-damage abilities, and even among those, very few possess such a feature.

Given Chen Guan’s previous aggressive attacks, they assumed those were attack secret skills. Yet observing now, it seemed to have transformed into a Body Protection Secret Technique with counter-damage abilities.

"An attack and defense-integrated secret skill so formidable, how come we’ve never heard of such a Composite Secret Skill before?" someone wondered suspiciously.

"Such a powerful Composite Secret Skill, I wonder which Secret Skill Master crafted it," Zhang Xuanqing sighed.

"Brother Zhang, now’s not the time for admiration. We can only depend on you now," said Chu Jianxiong from atop the city wall, having returned to spectate.

"Depend on me for what?" Zhang Xuanqing asked, widening his eyes.

"To defeat him, of course. Although his secret skill is formidable, integrating both offense and defense, it’s evident his speed and skill must be somewhat lacking. With that lunatic Gong Wudi not here, no one can confront him head-on. To win, we must exploit this aspect you’re the most suitable candidate," Chu Jianxiong said.

"I can’t do it, I’m just an Alchemy and Talisman Painting specialist. I don’t have such capabilities," Zhang Xuanqing shook his head repeatedly.

"We’re all friends here, Brother Xuanqing, no need for modesty. Everyone’s watching this event. If we lose, unable to handle even a ’nobody,’ the reputation of the Ten Prefectures will be utterly tarnished," Chu Jianxiong said with a wry smile.

"He’s no mere nobody. Just by looking at that basket of Blood Clot Jade Bodhi, you can tell he’s from some prominent family, perhaps even one of the Ten Great Families," Zhang Xuanqing retorted.

"We know that, but others don’t, and everyone here is watching. Think about what they’ll say when they leave," Chu Jianxiong said helplessly.

Zhang Xuanqing pondered this for a moment, finally speaking, "Then I’ll give it a try."

"With Brother Xuanqing’s capability, you’ll surely win," Chu Jianxiong said joyously.

Reluctantly, Zhang Xuanqing descended from the city wall, heading towards Chen Guan.

Chen Guan and Bai Xiuyan hadn’t left. They knew that if they didn’t defeat the people of Taishan City convincingly today, they probably wouldn’t be allowed to leave.

Seeing a young man in a Taoist robe approaching, Chen Guan guessed that this person was likely from the Zhang Family.

Sure enough, the young man approached and, with a slight bow, said, "I am Zhang Xuanqing, please advise."

"Are you the famed Elixir and Talisman Dual Expert, Zhang Xuanqing of the Zhang Family?" Bai Xiuyan scrutinized Zhang Xuanqing.

The fame of Zhang Xuanqing had even reached Bai Xiuyan’s ears.
