God of Pets

Chapter 422 Memorial Tablet
Having entered a state of returning to one's original nature, Xiu Jieming no longer possessed any vital energy and would no longer have it drained by the golden man.

The sheer strength of the body clashed with the golden man, the sound of muscles and bones colliding with metal creating a deafening roar.

It is clear that Xiu Jieming's physical strength and power are inferior to the Golden Man's, and he is still at a disadvantage, but it is much better than when he was completely suppressed.

"Don't use your inner energy, fight only with your strength." Chen Guan used the name of the god to tell Fu Tianji not to use his inner energy in battle.

Fu Tianji was already very strong, but with the added power of the Purple Xuan Armor and the mace, his charge into battle against the golden man greatly relieved the pressure on Xiu Jieming.

Moreover, Fu Tianji was immortal, and as the main force, he withstood most of the golden man's attacks.

What's terrifying is that the golden man actually withstood the bombardment of the two divine treasures, the Black Iron Mace and the Purple Gold Hammer, with his body and still held his own.

Even with two against one, the Golden Man still held an absolute advantage.

Chen Guan didn't dare to charge forward; this kind of combat wasn't suitable for him.

The golden man's ability to absorb vital energy somewhat counters Chen Guan's abilities.

Chen Guan, who basically fights with his vital energy, is completely countered by the Golden Man.

“This golden man is definitely at the level of a Mystic God. A peerless Mystic Spirit at the third level of awakening couldn’t be this strong.” Chen Guan observed the golden man from the side, and many thoughts flashed through his mind: “Fu Tianji’s Purple Profound is also at the level of a Mystic God, and there are as many as four of them, but he is still suppressed by it. This shows how terrifying this golden man is.”

The Golden Man is an extremely terrifying being in terms of speed, strength, physical strength, and skill.

Fu Tianji needs to use the Blood Escape Technique to surpass the Golden Man in speed, but ordinary people can't use the Blood Escape Technique indefinitely.

Without the Blood Escape Technique, Fu Tianji's speed couldn't keep up with the Golden Man.

Xiu Jieming was also very fast and could barely keep up with the Golden Man, but he couldn't show any advantage.

Fortunately, Xiu Jieming's skills were clearly far superior to those of the Golden Man. His footwork was chaotic, and his crazy punches landed on the Golden Man from time to time, but the damage he caused was almost invisible.

On the contrary, when the golden man attacked, Xiu Jieming needed to use his internal energy neutralization techniques; otherwise, the pure physical collision would be too much for him to withstand, even in his state of returning to his original nature.

Fu Tianji's black iron mace and purple gold melon hammer could only knock the golden man back, but could not truly hurt him.

Fortunately, Fu Tianji is immortal. If this continues, he might be able to wear down the golden man to death.

Suddenly, Chen Guan saw a burst of intense golden light erupt from the golden man's fist, like a golden sun appearing out of nowhere. The high temperature generated made Chen Guan, who was still some distance from the battlefield, feel as if he had entered a high-temperature furnace.

Xiu Jieming's armor burst into flames almost instantly. The fabric quickly turned into flying helmets, and the metal armor resembled red-hot iron blocks, even turning into molten iron that dripped down.

Fu Tianji's armor was formed from Zi Xuan. Unlike ordinary armor, it did not melt under high temperatures, but it still emitted heat.

Bang!
The Golden Man's Sun Fist struck Fu Tianji, sending him flying backward. A dent appeared on his chest, and the dented area of ​​his armor resembled molten lava.

Even the armor formed by the mysterious god couldn't stop the golden man's punch.

"The Sun God Fist!" Chen Guan was shocked.

The golden man used the Sun God Fist again to strike Xiu Jieming. Xiu Jieming dared not meet it head-on, and quickly changed his movements, using techniques to dodge the golden man's Sun God Fist.

The golden man wanted to pursue, but Fu Tianji charged forward again, relying on his immortality to withstand the golden man's attacks. The golden man used the Sun God Fist repeatedly, leaving one dented fist mark after another on Fu Tianji's body; an ordinary person would have been dead long ago.

"How could he use Hu Quan's Sun God Fist? Could it be..." Chen Guan's expression shifted as he stared intently at the golden man, trying to find clues to confirm his guess.

Even someone as strong as Xiu Jieming struggled to make an impact when facing the Golden Man, and could only play a supporting role from the sidelines.

It's only thanks to Fu Tianji that we've been able to hold off the Golden Man and prevent the situation from completely collapsing.

Chen Guan couldn't help but admire Fu Tianji's strength; he was the only one who could withstand such pressure.

However, the golden man then began to use various secret techniques and hidden powers, which nearly caused Xiu Jieming and Fu Tianji to collapse.

The Golden Man was already stronger than Xiu Jieming and Fu Tianji. Now he can use various Yuan Qi techniques, while Fu Tianji and Xiu Jieming cannot, putting them at a huge disadvantage.

"If this continues, Fu Tianji will be alright, but Xiu Jieming is likely to be beaten to death." Chen Guan's mind raced, but he couldn't come up with any ideas.

The Golden Man completely overwhelmed them. Xiu Jieming could at least be of some use, but Chen Guan would probably be killed immediately if he went up there, making him even more useless.

"The secret techniques used by this golden man are all Hu Quan's. Could it be that the golden man was formed after Hu Quan was possessed by that evil spirit?" Chen Guan wondered to himself.

With this thought in mind, Chen Guan took advantage of their battle to unleash his "One Night Step" and rush back into the room.

Since he can't be of much help anyway, I might as well see if I can find anything useful here.

If this golden man is the test left behind by the Netherworld Emperor, then where is his legacy?
Perhaps within this legacy lies something that can restrain the Golden Man.

There wasn't much inside the house. Besides the coffin, there was an altar with a memorial tablet covered by a red cloth. That was all.

Chen Guan rushed to the memorial tablet, reached out and tore off the red cloth, wanting to find out the origin of this golden man first, so that he could deduce his weakness from his origin.

After the red cloth was pulled down, Chen Guan was stunned.

He had assumed the tablet should bear the name of the evil spirit, since this was a place to worship him as a god.

However, what was written on the memorial tablet was neither the name of a god nor the name of an evil spirit.

"The spirit tablets of the ancestors of Gujing Village..." Chen Guan stared blankly at the words on the tablet.

He had never heard of a memorial tablet being enshrined like this. How could the ancestors of the entire village be enshrined in just one tablet, with no specific names on it, only this one line of text?

Generally, each family's elderly should be worshipped separately, and each elderly person should have their own memorial tablet with their name on it.

There was nothing here, just these few words.

"Wait a minute... Wasn't it said that this place was dedicated to that evil spirit? How come it's the ancestors of Gujing Village?" Chen Guan's mind raced, unable to figure out what was going on. He grabbed the memorial tablet, turned it around to look at the back, hoping to find some more clues.

Unfortunately, there was nothing on the back of the memorial tablet; it was just a bare board.

“There’s a problem… there’s definitely something wrong here… this isn’t a place to worship evil spirits… that old man lied to us… could it be… that old man is the evil spirit…” Chen Guan’s mind raced, but he still couldn’t find a solution.
