God of Pets-Chapter 532: True Form of Righteous Power
Chen Guan lifted his fist, ready to strike Zhang Xuanqing, but Zhang Xuanqing quickly said, "Hold on, let me prepare first, and then we can begin."
With that, Zhang Xuanqing reached into his bosom and pulled out a piece of yellow paper, held it in his hand, and with a finger made a technique gesture. A hint of cinnabar red appeared at his fingertip, and he began to draw on the yellow paper.
Chen Guan watched as red lines appeared on the yellow paper, seemingly writing a character, but he couldn’t discern what the character was.
The character was complex, resembling some kind of talismanic script, not a commonly used character.
Zhang Xuanqing completed it in one go, and upon finishing, he held the yellow paper between his middle and index fingers while muttering words under his breath. With a finger technique, the yellow paper suddenly ignited without a flame.
Zhang Xuanqing released the paper, allowing the ignited yellow paper to fall. It burnt out while still fluttering in mid-air.
From the ashes of that yellow paper, a golden light soared up, transforming into a golden deity that descended onto Zhang Xuanqing, as if enveloping him in golden light.
Chen Guan saw that the golden deity had a human form but did not recognize who it was.
While Chen Guan did not recognize it, many among the Ten Great Families knew that golden deity.
Jiang Yunxiang exclaimed in shock, "Isn’t that golden deity in the likeness of the King of Zhang? The King of Zhang is still alive, how could Zhang Xuanqing have summoned him!"
"This is not summoning a god, but likely invoking an ancestral spirit for protection." Chu Jianxiong’s eyes lit up, understanding why Zhang Xuanqing wanted to engage in this literary duel.
"The Secret Techniques and Secret Skills of the Zhang Family often have unexpected transformations. Zhang Xuanqing must have used some Secret Technique to summon the power of the King of Zhang onto himself. Although it cannot be the full extent of the power, even a tiny fraction of it is not something a mere Fourth Awakening cultivator could break through. Zhang Xuanqing’s chances of victory in this battle are great."
Jiang Yunxiang also said, "The King of Zhang became a king through the Alchemy Dao, consuming countless Golden Core Jade Liquids in his lifetime, making his body as strong as gold, impervious to harm. Even the slightest appearance of his power on Zhang Xuanqing guarantees his safety."
"I’ve seen people invite spirits or demons to possess themselves, but this is the first time I’ve seen someone inviting a living person. It’s quite novel, but with Zhang Xuanqing bringing out the King of Zhang, this battle seems to be a certain win." Everyone discussed fervently.
"Can we start now?" Chen Guan, having never seen what the King of Zhang looked like, naturally couldn’t recognize him. The images or photos of the King of Zhang circulating online were mostly from his youthful days, quite different from now.
"Let’s begin." Zhang Xuanqing said with a smile.
"Wait a moment." Bai Xiuyan suddenly spoke up, "Young brother, the golden divine image on Zhang Xuanqing is one of the Ten Celestial Kings, the Celestial King of Zhang. I don’t know how he managed to invite a living person’s presence, but I recognize that golden light. It should be the Secret Skill True Form of Righteous Power created by the Celestial King of Zhang. It is said that only he ever mastered it, and when used, it reaches Unity of Heaven and Man, protected by the celestial way, invulnerable to knives and swords, displaying thunderous might, and those who touch it are struck by retribution."
Hearing this, Chen Guan looked at the golden light on Zhang Xuanqing with some surprise. He had of course heard of the True Form of Righteous Power, a divine skill created by the King of Zhang that was famed across the world; it was hard not to know.
Zhang Xuanqing smiled and said, "Indeed, only our family’s Celestial King can use True Form of Righteous Power because several Secret Skills within it have been lost to the ages, with no successor to learn them. But by using a Secret Treasure in conjunction with Secret Skills and gaining the protection of my ancestral master, I can use the True Form of Righteous Power Secret Skill."
After Zhang Xuanqing explained, most people only then understood that the golden divine image on him was the True Form of Righteous Power Secret Skill of the King of Zhang.
After all, among these people, even the most powerful had little opportunity to witness the True Form of Righteous Power of the King of Zhang.
But everyone knew of the True Form of Righteous Power’s reputation as a Unity of Heaven and Man skill.
To break the True Form of Righteous Power was like becoming an enemy of heaven and earth and facing the backlash of the universe.
Even among those sharing the Celestial King status, no one was ever known to have overcome the True Form of Righteous Power head-on.
Now some phenomena could already be seen, with the Heaven and Earth’s Free-roaming Elemental Energy in the surrounding space gathering towards the golden divine image on Zhang Xuanqing’s body, as suddenly, the sky became overcast with thunder rumbling faintly.
Even though it was Zhang Xuanqing using the True Form of Righteous Power and not the King of Zhang himself, it was already quite terrifying.
Chen Guan saw the might of the True Form of Righteous Power but was unmoved, raising his fist once more, his body igniting with blood flame as the Body Protection Divine Skill activated again.
"Attacking the True Form of Righteous Power is like becoming an enemy of heaven and earth, and you might be harmed. If you’re willing to admit defeat now, why not stop here?" Zhang Xuanqing said.
"If the King of Zhang himself were here, using the True Form of Righteous Power, then yes, opposing him would be like opposing the universe. But unfortunately, the person standing here isn’t him, nor is he the one using the True Form of Righteous Power, so it’s hardly a matter of opposing heaven and earth." Chen Guan said calmly.
"I naturally can’t compare to our Celestial King, but this method can channel the energies of heaven and earth, making it unmatched by peers." Zhang Xuanqing said earnestly.
"Then let me see just how vast your universe really is." After Chen Guan spoke, he threw a direct punch towards Zhang Xuanqing.
The fist, burning with blood flame, struck without any flourish, and before it could even touch Zhang Xuanqing’s body, golden lightning erupted in front of the fist, enveloping Chen Guan as if he was wrapped in a net of golden lightning.
Undeterred, Chen Guan’s fist continued towards Zhang Xuanqing.
Boom!
Lightning rained down from the sky like a storm, enveloping both of their bodies in the lightning.
In that instant, Chen Guan and Zhang Xuanqing’s bodies were engulfed in golden lightning.
Lightning burst from Chen Guan’s body, scattering away without harming him, as his fist punched through the layers of lightning, striking directly at Zhang Xuanqing.
Zhang Xuanqing was seen widening his eyes, his body suspended and sent flying backward, golden lightning crackling across his body, hair standing on end, and shaking as if he was sieving chaff.
Bang!
Zhang Xuanqing’s body hit the ground, sliding a great distance before coming to a stop, his entire exterior charred black, even more so than a black person.
Silence gripped inside and outside the city; Zhang Xuanqing had used a Secret Technique to borrow the True Form of Righteous Power from the King of Zhang, only to have it shattered by a single punch, an astonishing affair.
"Does that guy’s Secret Skill really have such strength? Not even the Unity of Heaven and Man, the True Form of Righteous Power, could withstand it?" Everyone was extremely astonished.
Gong Mingwang didn’t think much of it; after all, it was Zhang Xuanqing using the True Form of Righteous Power, not the King of Zhang.
Zi Donglai viewed such means as just the bare minimum, considering the titanic strike akin to a giant’s, this was nothing more than basic maneuvers.
