God of Pets-Chapter 680: Battle with Ximen the Drunkard

Ximen Drunkard noticed the other's stance, ready for a fight, and instead of being angry, he was pleased.

He came this time to take Ximen Bing away.

If Zi Donglai fought him, then he wouldn't have the face to keep Ximen Bing, right?

Originally, Ximen Drunkard didn't mind Ximen Bing joining Purple Sun City; he had known it for a long time.

The reason for choosing this time to take Ximen Bing away was because he had received news that the Gong Family was going to make a move on Purple Sun City, and he couldn't let Ximen Bing stay and take the risk.

At this moment, both of them wanted to fight, so they tacitly agreed, without saying any unnecessary words, fearing the other might clear things up, leaving no room for a fight.

Ximen Drunkard even hid his mastery of Ghost Step Immortal to prevent Zi Donglai from seeing through his identity.

Chen Guan was different; he directly used Ghost Immortal Step.

He wanted, in front of Ximen Drunkard, to use Ximen Drunkard's own successful secret technique to give him a show of strength.

Using his ultimate skill to defeat him, letting Ximen Drunkard see how formidable he was.

Later, when Ximen Bing persuaded him a little, maybe he could convince Ximen Drunkard to stay.

Both with hidden motives, they began to showcase their unique skills.

Seeing Chen Guan using Ghost Immortal Step, Ximen Drunkard was stunned: "That girl Bing'er actually taught this youngster Ghost Immortal Step! Could it be she has feelings for him? That won't do. This boy is too arrogant, having offended both the Ten Great Families and the Ancestral Court. Even if he gets through this hurdle, he won't have peace; Bing'er mustn't follow him to face such dangers."

Ximen Drunkard didn't take Chen Guan's Ghost Immortal Step seriously. Although formidable, without the matching talent, it could only be considered a top-notch body technique, far from the supreme level.

But after just a few steps, Ximen Drunkard sensed something was wrong.

He was shocked to see Zi Donglai step after step, his speed increasing to a frightening level within a mere few steps.

Ghost Immortal Step without talent shouldn't be this fast.

"How can this kid run the Ghost Immortal Step so fast? Is it his talent at work, or some other dharma gate?" With these thoughts swirling, Ximen Drunkard switched to another body technique to counter Chen Guan.

He was renowned for Ghost Immortal Step but was not limited to it.

He utilized the rarely seen Drunken Eight Immortals Body Technique, sharply increasing his speed, his figure swaying unpredictably like a lotus leaf, making it hard to discern his next move or attack angle.

Chen Guan combined Ghost Immortal Step with the Unique Sauntering Technique, supplemented by the Absolute Secret State, accelerating his Ghost Immortal Step faster and faster.

Others only saw two figures continuously intertwining, their detailed movements becoming increasingly blurred due to their incredible speed.

Only a few could see the fight between the two clearly.

They relied on their body techniques to battle, dodging each other's attacks while simultaneously attacking.

Yet until now, neither had managed to touch the other.

The more Ximen Drunkard fought, the more surprised he became. The opponent's mysterious use of the Ghost Immortal Step allowed his speed to constantly increase, and he was starting to lag behind.

"How did this kid practice Ghost Immortal Step to such a speed?" Ximen Drunkard had to unleash his primordial energy to further increase his speed.

But his primordial energy, although abundant, had its limits, unlike Chen Guan, who could continually utilize it.

Using Ghost Immortal Step could avoid this trouble due to its minimal primordial energy consumption, but if he used Ghost Immortal Step, his identity would be exposed.

If he didn't use Ghost Immortal Step, he needed to quickly settle the match; otherwise, his primordial energy consumption would be unsustainable.

"Do I really need to decide a winner?" Ximen Drunkard hesitated.

Despite having some resources, he didn't have the strong backing like the Ten Great Families.

With Purple Sun City's rising influence, a single Zi Donglai was already so formidable, and there was also Jin Taohua, the female demon.

If he were to heavily injure Zi Donglai today and Purple Sun City captured Ximen Bing to threaten him, it would be disastrous.

After calculating many things, Ximen Drunkard didn't genuinely want to turn against Zi Donglai but still needed to take Ximen Bing away.

As he pondered, he came up with a plan.

"I'll use a mysterious technique to take a strand of his hair to diminish his reputation without forming a deadly feud with Purple Sun City." With a thought, Ximen Drunkard's primordial energy surged.

In a step, his figure seemed to teleport away.

Chen Guan realized Ximen Drunkard's speed had suddenly surged, and he couldn't predict where he would go next.

"This Ximen Drunkard is not just formidable with Ghost Immortal Step but also has many secret skills on par with it!" Thoughts flashed through Chen Guan's mind as his body instinctively reacted.

He knew Ximen Drunkard was Unrivaled in body techniques, and he might not genuinely be faster than him.

Thus, he had long considered how to respond when not as fast as Ximen Drunkard.

As Ximen Drunkard accelerated, Chen Guan immediately used the Secret Skill of Edge of Heaven and Ends of the Earth from the Innate Eight Techniques.

This was a composite technique made up of the Sky Dry Art, Earth Kun Art, Wind Xun Art, and Water Kan Art, one of the body techniques within the Innate Eight Techniques.

Though not as fast as pairing Ghost Immortal Step with Unique Sauntering Technique, it had a special function: moving by borrowing force.

Like a ship sailing, when it cuts through the surface, the bow pushes the water waves, moving forward.

When a person moves, they also push the air; the Edge of Heaven and Ends of the Earth allows one to move by this force, keeping you ahead, making it impossible to catch up, even to the world's end.

Of course, it can be easily disrupted; with Condensing Power as a needle or using a sharp weapon, it becomes ineffective.

The Innate Eight Techniques' composite skills are not difficult to counter; their fame, however, comes from King Ji's deft usage.

Using the right technique at the moment, avoiding weakness exposures or constraints, showing only strengths to counter opponents.

Reaching this realm requires extensive combat experience, comprehension, judgment, and reading the battlefield.

Chen Guan used the Edge of Heaven and Ends of the Earth as a perfect counter to Ximen Drunkard.

Ximen Drunkard appeared almost instantaneously before Chen Guan, reaching to snip a strand of his hair.

But as he extended his hand, Chen Guan's speed increased alongside, and though Ximen Drunkard was charging forward rapidly,

Chen Guan, although floating in the air and moving backward, was able to match his speed, leaving Ximen Drunkard's hand always just a short distance from snatching Chen Guan's hair.
