God of Pets

Chapter 691: Strike first to gain the upper hand

The experts from the Great Cave Heaven who rushed towards Ziyang City were terrified. They couldn't believe that they, who had used the Soul Returning Pill and had forcibly returned to the Seventh Sense, and were able to use the power of the Secret Laws, could be inexplicably killed by Chen Guan.

Shouldn't they be in an invincible state right now?
This was something they had paid for with their lives. The Soul-Returning Pill, as the name suggests, is like temporarily bringing back the soul of the dead. Once the time is up, they will not only fall from the Seventh Sense, but their lives will also be lost, ending up with their souls scattered.

Although they weren't considered experts within the Great Cave Heaven, they possessed the power of secret laws and should have been invincible. How could they have been killed so easily?

Chen looked at them and then raised the leaf to cover one eye.

This terrified them so much that they fled in panic, abandoning their pursuit of Ziyang City and the Demon King's army.

But nothing happened. Chen Guan put away the Empty Leaf with some frustration. This thing was indeed powerful. When combined with his Yuan Qi, it was almost invincible among those of the same level, and it could even kill Seventh Awakening cultivators who were of a higher level.

But this 50% probability is really somewhat dependent on fate. These three powerful experts from the Gong family were quite lucky to encounter the other 50% probability.

Chen Guan ignored them for the time being, flew down to Bu Changning's side, and checked his speed. It was obvious that he had been poisoned.

Moreover, he had just overheard Bu Changning and Gong Xuancheng's conversation using his super hearing, and was just confirming it now.

Chen Guan summoned the King of Ten Thousand Poisons and sent it to Bu Changning to absorb the poison from his body, to see if the King of Ten Thousand Poisons could absorb this kind of poison.

If he could absorb it, not only would it cure Bu Changning's poison, but the Myriad Poison Insect King would also be able to advance further. He was worried about where to get some poison to help the Myriad Poison Insect King awaken again.

The King of Ten Thousand Poisonous Insects flew to Bu Changning's side, its butterfly wings fluttering gently behind it. It then extended a slender, jade-like finger and pierced into Bu Changning's chest.

The three experts from the Great Cave Heaven, who were startled, exchanged glances and could all see the determination in each other's eyes.

If Zi Donglai is not eliminated, their time will come and this battle will be in vain.

This person is too terrifying, and we can't let him save that traitor Bu Changning.

Bu Changning's abilities also made them wary; even someone like Gong Xuancheng had his head twisted off by Bu Changning's direct control.

And those dozen or so top experts from Tianxu Palace, if it weren't for Bu Changning, they wouldn't have been killed so easily.

If Zi Donglai is killed, and the other two powerful experts from the Great Cave Heaven can handle the Demon King and Jin Taohua, then this battle can still turn the tide.

Although the three didn't know why Chen Guan's leaf hadn't killed them—whether it was because it could only be used once or for some other reason—the leaf's power was no longer enough to kill them, and now was their best chance to kill Chen Guan.

They originally thought that with the restoration of their Seventh Awakening, they would be invincible in one-on-one combat.

But now, they must combine the power of their secret techniques to kill Zi Donglai.

Seeing the three figures hurtling towards him, Chen Guan knew he had to use all his strength to kill them. He was unfamiliar with the power of the secret laws and didn't know how to break them. He had to strike first, otherwise he would fall into their trap of rules and probably wouldn't even have a chance to fight back.

Even if you know about secret laws, you might not be able to defend against them; if you don't know them, they are even harder to defend against.

Without any hesitation, Chen Guan used the power of the God of War. His left hand, hidden in his sleeve, secretly used the Frost Soft Hand technique to strike the three people rushing towards him.

Chen Guan is now level 51, and his maximum energy has recovered to over one million.

This million-yuan-powered icy hand strike was like a tsunami, seemingly about to engulf everything.

However, Chen Guan secretly used a semi-intermittent state, so the energy he unleashed was silent and invisible. The three people had no idea that a tsunami-like cold wave had already reached them. Within that surging cold wave, a master from a great cave realm didn't even have time to react before he was frozen solid and died instantly.

However, the other two powerful figures from the Great Cave Heaven were not frozen by the cold wave; strange things happened to them.

As the cold wave surged toward one of the people, the temperature rose rapidly. When it reached that person, it not only lost its chilling power but also transformed into flames, burning on that person's body.

Flames erupted from the man's body, transforming him into a towering fire giant, even more terrifying than before.

"Is this the secret law of converting cold energy into heat energy?" Chen Guan wondered to himself.

The situation of the other person was even more bizarre. When the cold wave reached him, it turned into a stone statue in front of him. The more the cold wave surged away, the larger the stone statue became.

"Is this the secret law that can transform primordial energy into stone statues?" Chen Guan couldn't guess the true function of these secret laws for a moment, and could only deduce it from what he saw.

However, this kind of direct inference is not necessarily accurate. He may only be seeing the surface, and the real rules are not like that.

However, one of them was still killed, and that person's secret technique was obviously useless against Chen Guan's attack.

Seeing their companion frozen into an ice sculpture, the two were both shocked and furious, and their murderous intent intensified.

The powerful being from the Great Cave Heaven, who had transformed into a gigantic fiery demon, slammed down with a palm strike, the surging flames overwhelming Chen Guan.

Another powerful expert from a great grotto-heaven slammed his palm onto the stone statue in front of him, and the statue, which was already as large as a mountain, crashed down on Chen Guan.

Chen Guan reached out and summoned the axe in his left hand, then cleaved it towards the stone figure that was pressing down on him.

With his other hand, he directly met the palm of the flaming giant, his entire body glowing with blood-red light—a strike from his protective divine power.

Click!

Chen Guan's axe cleaved the mountain-like stone statue in two, causing it to crash to the ground and create two large craters, resembling two mountain ranges lying across the earth. It also killed many Tianxu Palace soldiers.

Chen Guan met the giant's palm with a palm strike, but the surging flames pressed down on him and were forcefully deflected by his protective divine skill.

The flames surged upwards, impacting the fire giant, yet they failed to harm the expert from the Great Cave Heaven. Instead, the fire giant he had transformed into grew even larger, and the flames became increasingly hot.

"It's not simply a matter of converting cold energy into heat energy!" Chen Guan suddenly realized that his previous guess was incorrect.

He knew he couldn't delay any longer. The best way to deal with such an unknown force was to strike first and not give them a chance to use their secret laws, just like he had done when he killed the other two powerful experts from the Great Cave Heaven.

"Then it's just you." Chen Guan secretly activated his second secret treasure.

The already hundred-foot-tall fire giant pressed down with its palm once more, and another expert from the Great Cave Heaven also condensed a stone statue again.

Even without Chen Guan's power, he was still able to condense a stone statue, and for a moment he couldn't figure out what kind of rule this secret law was.

The rules didn't matter to Chen Guan anymore, because he never intended to break their secret rules, but rather to bypass them and kill them.
