God of Pets

Chapter 416 Unbreakable Defense

The vital energy emanating from Yang Huai was like blood and the sun, transforming into a crimson phantom that enveloped him.

Yang Huai stared at Chen Guan and said, "You must be wondering why that person can use multiple hidden powers, and I can also use multiple hidden powers, right?"

"I am indeed very confused. I wonder if you could clear things up for me?" Chen Guan said sincerely.

"Telling you won't hurt, so you'll know that living off a woman won't help you, it will only harm you." Yang Huai sneered, "You were able to enter the Gate of Life because that female Yin General released water. You chose a good gate, but unfortunately you only have the second level of perception, so you probably can't sense the power of those ghosts at all, nor can you gain their approval."

"What do you mean?" Chen Guan asked, frowning.

Yang Huai was now even more certain that Chen Guan might not have even seen the existence of those ghosts.

"Within that dark passage, there are countless wandering ghosts, but they are not true ghosts. They are all traces of secret consciousness left in the world under the influence of the hidden power. They attach themselves to our bodies and bring us the power of the hidden power. When we, as cultivators of the Three Awakenings, use the hidden power, a trace of secret consciousness will fill the empty hidden power with its hidden power, allowing us to use its hidden power..."

"Although each secret knowledge can only be used once before disappearing, the sheer number of them is enough for us to use various different secret knowledge indefinitely. As for your secret technique, can you still use it again?"

"You can give it a try." Chen Guan understood, and this was similar to his guess, so he wasn't surprised.

According to Yang Huai, he must first use up his own hidden power before he can randomly use the hidden power of a secret knowledge, which is something he himself cannot control.

In other words, to use the power of secret knowledge, one must first possess secret abilities.

He was only at the second awakening stage and had not awakened the secret treasure at all, so Yang Huai judged from the beginning that he did not have the ability to use the secret knowledge, and even if he obtained the power of the secret knowledge, it would be useless.

Chen Guan did indeed see those ghost-like secret consciousnesses, but they were all destroyed by the round stool. Chen Guan did not obtain any of them, so he could not verify whether he could use the hidden power in his second awakening body.

As it turns out, his current situation is exactly as Yang Huai had guessed.

“Those ghosts, each possessing the power of the Three Awakenings, were easily killed by the round stool. Is this round stool really just an ordinary stool used by the Underworld Emperor to feed fish?” Chen Guan felt that the origin of the round stool was probably not so simple.

There was no time to investigate the origin of the round stool, and Yang Huai attacked again using his hidden power.

This time, Yang Huai struck out with his palm, and the force of his palm transformed into a massive, blood-red hand that blotted out the sky, pressing down on Chen Guan.

Bang!
The crimson hand slammed heavily onto the ground, creating a huge palm print crater in the hard stone slab.

However, Chen Guan stood in the indentation of the palm print, his body shrouded in bloody mist, yet he remained unharmed.

This hidden ultimate move still failed to break through the blood energy layer formed by the Blood Explosion Divine Skill.

Yang Huai's gaze sharpened, and he once again used his hidden power, launching a frenzied attack on Chen Guan.

"Let's see how many more times you can use it..." Yang Huai didn't believe that Chen Guan could use such a secret technique multiple times.

Such a secret technique must consume a huge amount of vital energy. Even if Chen Guan has the ability to quickly recover his vital energy, it is impossible for him to instantly regain his full energy.

Therefore, Yang Huai believed that as long as he continued to attack, Chen Guan's energy would never be fully replenished.

Such a powerful secret technique would require Chen Guan to use most of his vital energy to use it. As long as he is not allowed to recover his vital energy, he will not be able to continue using it.

His plan was sound, but as one hidden power after another relentlessly bombarded Chen Guan, forcing him to retreat, the layer of blood energy enveloping him remained intact. Yang Huai could hardly believe his eyes; under his continuous barrage of hidden attacks, Chen Guan's blood energy remained undiminished, withstanding the entire attack.

"What the hell is this!" Yang Huai kept attacking, forcing Chen Guan to retreat repeatedly, but at this moment, he only felt his scalp tingling.

"Impossible... This can't be happening... It's just a protective technique... No matter how strong it is, it can't be this strong..." Yang Huai was clearly under a powerful attack, but his eyes were filled with terror, as if he had seen a ghost.

Xiu Jieming had already turned his attention to this area. He had been worried that Chen Guan would be killed by Yang Huai, but after watching for a while, a look of astonishment appeared in his eyes.

"Where did he get this secret technique? He can withstand this. I wonder if I could break through it by force." Xiu Jieming pondered to himself.

"Commander...this boy is unpredictable...we must not let him live...otherwise he will surely become a great disaster in the future...let's join forces to kill him...to avoid any unforeseen complications..." Yang Huai shouted as he fought, wanting Xiu Jieming to help him kill Chen Guan.

He had already developed the mindset that he was unable to kill Chen Guan. Even though he still had the power of the secret treasure, he no longer dared to hope that he could kill Chen Guan.

Now, only Xiu Jieming can take action, and the two of them can work together to kill Chen Guan.

"When did I say I was going to kill him?" Xiu Jieming looked at Yang Huai in the arena, a slight smile appearing on his lips.

"Commander... we must not be soft-hearted at this time... I know you don't want to dirty your hands... but you have seen it yourself... he is no ordinary person... if we don't kill him... he will become a major threat..." Yang Huai was already out of breath.

Although he was using the hidden power brought by his secret knowledge, he still expended energy during the battle, even though he didn't need to move constantly.

“Yang Huai, it seems you want to kill him even more than I do,” Xiu Jieming said calmly.

Yang Huai's heart skipped a beat: "Commander, I'm doing this for your own good. How can we keep such an enemy alive?"

Xiu Jieming stared at Yang Huai expressionlessly and said, "I never told you that Chen Guan was my enemy, nor did I ever tell you that I wanted to kill him, did I?"

“It’s the supervisory department that wants to kill him…it’s the judge who wants to kill him…” As soon as Yang Huai finished speaking, he realized something was wrong.

“I’ve never told you any of this either. How did you know the Inspection Department wanted to kill him?” Xiu Jieming said with a smirk, looking at him with disdain.

Yang Huai knew he had been exposed, and sighed, saying, "Commander, it's true that I'm someone the Inspection Department planted by your side, but I've also been devoted to you all these years, haven't I? This time, it's the Chief Judge who wants to kill Chen Guan. We have no other choice. If we want to maintain the Xiu family's position in the Heavenly Court Army and control the Heavenly Court Army, we can only kill Chen Guan."

"Commander, the judge thinks highly of you and wants the Xiu family to take power, which is why he wants to kill Chen Guan. You can't go against him at a time like this..."

Hearing this, Xiu Jieming laughed, but his face turned cold as he looked at Yang Huai and said, "Does he really want our Xiu family to take power? I'm afraid not."

Having said that, without waiting for Yang Huai to say anything more, Xiu Jieming walked towards Yang Huai on the battlefield: "I don't know if he will let our Xiu family take power, but traitors must die."

As he spoke, Xiu Jieming slapped Yang Huai with his palm.

He chose the perfect moment when Yang Huai had just used his secret technique and his new strength had not yet been generated. With just one palm strike, he sent Yang Huai flying more than ten meters away, spitting out blood and crashing heavily to the ground.

Hu Quan, on the other side, was shocked to see this.

No one expected that Xiu Jieming, a member of the Xiu family who had a grudge against Chen Guan for stealing his wife, would not kill Chen Guan but instead become an enemy of the Supervisory Department.
