God of Pets

Chapter 763 Trust
After speaking, the man in purple robes pulled an antique-style hairpin from his hair and tossed it into the air.

The hairpin transformed in mid-air, turning into a purple jade sword that flew towards Hu Yuxiao.

Hu Yuxiao raised his iron whip and smashed it directly at the purple jade sword.

The purple jade sword, however, seemed to be wielded and wielded by someone, deftly dodging the iron whip's strikes and thrusting towards Hu Yuxiao from another direction.

The man in purple robes simply stood there, not moving a finger, watching the jade sword and Hu Yuxiao fight.

No matter how fiercely the iron whip roared, it couldn't touch the jade sword at all.

One man and one sword fought there, while the man in purple robes seemed to be just an audience member.

Hu Yuxiao's strength was astonishing; his two iron maces were like two dragons, capable of overturning rivers and seas.

However, the jade sword was exceptionally agile, avoiding direct confrontation with Hu Yuxiao, yet forcing him to deal with it nonetheless.

For a moment, the violent sounds of two iron maces erupting were deafening, but they were forced to retreat repeatedly by the jade sword.

"How could the brutes of the Heavenly Court Army know the power of the Dushan Sect?"

"The Dushan Sect truly lives up to its reputation as one of the ten great families; how could its strength compare to that of the Heavenly Court Army?"

"..."

The scions of noble families were delighted again and showered the purple-robed man with praise.

Chen Guan saw that the power of the howling was extremely strong and had a very special property: it could detonate vital energy. If an ordinary person were to fight against him, they probably wouldn't be able to handle it as easily as the purple-robed man, and might even suffer a great loss.

"These two from the Dushan Sect are indeed quite different from others," Chen Guan thought to himself.

He had encountered Purple Robe and Lonely Mountain several times, but he never knew their true strength or background. Even in today's battle, Purple Robe clearly did not exert his full strength, as if he were just toying with them.

"We have lost this battle." Xiu Jieming did not let the battle continue. Before Hu Yuxiao could use his secret treasure, he directly conceded defeat and had Hu Yuxiao call him back.

Chen Guan turned his gaze to Gushan. Since the purple-robed man was so powerful, Gushan must be no less so.

The next match should be a sure thing if Gu Shan fights; the final battle will be between him and Xiu Jieming.

However, when Chen Guan looked at Gushan, he saw that Gushan had turned his face away, clearly indicating his refusal.

Chen Guan frowned slightly, but after a moment's thought, he understood.

The fact that the Dushan Sect fought for him for this battle is already considered a help, so it's not appropriate to rely on them entirely.

But besides Gushan, who else can guarantee victory in this battle?

They will be the first to play in this match, making them vulnerable to being countered by their opponents.

Qin Ziyu was originally a good candidate. Although he was not competitive and was somewhat easygoing, he was not good at competing.

But his strength is truly undeniable. Qin Ziyu has already mastered the second stage of the Limitless Realm, and Chen Guan's top-secret files have also recorded it.

The second stage, the ultimate of limitlessness, can be said to be the pinnacle of all techniques in the world. Unless there is absolute power to suppress it, no one can defeat Qin Ziyu by relying solely on skill.

Shang Ziyi, a merchant, is also a good choice. His martial arts rhythm is also an extremely abnormal fighting technique.

Unfortunately, both the Qin and Shang families have many officers in the Heavenly Court's army. If they were to appear, Xiu Jieming might have to resort to his previous methods again.

These people are unusable, so Chen Guan turned his attention to the Duan brothers, Shulin and Hualong. "Shulin, this battle is up to you," Chen Guan said, naming Duan Shulin.

"Don't worry, I will definitely win this battle," Duan Shulin said confidently.

“I have never doubted that, but my requirements for you are not as simple as just winning,” Chen Guan said seriously.

Duan Shulin was slightly taken aback: "Then how should I win?"

"The next match is my battle with Xiu Jieming, so your battle is crucial. I hope you can win beautifully and finish the battle as quickly as possible. Try to finish off your opponent within three moves and let Xiu Jieming feel our pressure." Chen Guan kept giving Duan Shulin hints with the spirit of a cheerleader.

"Don't worry, leave it to me." Duan Shulin gave an OK sign, his aura bursting forth as he rode his mount out of the city.

Duan Hualong asked with some concern, "Grand Preceptor, isn't my brother being too arrogant and complacent?"

“Your brother is proud because he has the right to be proud. Those without strength are called naive, while those with strength are called contemptuous.” Chen Guan raised his voice slightly so that Duan Shulin, who hadn’t gone far, could hear him.

Duan Hualong said those things just now so that Duan Shulin would hear them and not be careless.

Now, Chen Guan added fuel to the fire with the cheerleader's spirit, and he could clearly feel that Duan Shulin's aura had become even more terrifying.

"Duan Shulin of the Duan family is here. Who dares to fight me?" Duan Shulin challenged the enemy in front of the enemy lines with great vigor.

Xiu Jieming knew immediately that the person who came out was Duan Shulin.

He attached great importance to Chen Guan's information and naturally knew about Duan Shulin. He had also conducted an in-depth investigation into the Duan family and knew that Duan Shulin was not to be underestimated.

In particular, his Great River Demon Fist technique is incredibly versatile and is a rare skill in the world.

"Shan Leiyi, you go for this match. Be careful, this person has the technique of hidden force, his fist force is layered one after another, not a single force." Xiu Jieming selected a general to fight.

Dan Leiyi, with a blue face and square features, stepped forward, clasped his hands in front of Xiu Jieming, and said, "Commander, rest assured, my technique is the perfect counter to hidden strength. I will do my utmost to win this battle."

After saying that, Shan Leiyi spurred his horse toward Duan Shulin to meet him.

When the people on the city wall saw that it was Shan Leiyi who was going to fight, some of them immediately recognized him.

Dan Leiyi is already quite old; he's a veteran, and quite a few people know him.

"Although Shan Leiyi has not been able to advance to the Great Cave Heaven realm for many years, it is not because of his lack of talent and ability, but because during the battle at Tianmu Lake, he blocked the passage of the Narrow Sky Ravine by himself. He was then attacked by the seven great spirits of Tianmu Lake in turn, which damaged his foundation and cut off his path to the Great Cave Heaven realm."

"If it weren't for Shan Leiyi holding the line single-handedly and buying Shangyuan City four days to retreat, the millions of soldiers and civilians in Shangyuan City would probably have been swallowed up by the Secret Spirit Tide. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call such a person an unparalleled fierce general."

"Duan Shulin is skilled in continuous internal force, and the secret technique that made him famous with the single lightning armor is the Thousand Lightning Battle Armor that keeps the seven great spirits outside the narrow sky ravine. Even if bombarded by a thousand lightning bolts, it is difficult to break. I'm afraid Duan Shulin will have a hard time in this battle."

When Duan Hualong saw Shan Leiyi, he became even more worried: "This is bad. My brother's Great River Demon Fist is exactly countered by Shan Leiyi's Thousand Thunder Battle Armor."

“There are no absolute relationships of restraint in the world. Water can overcome fire, but fire can also overcome water. With the power of the forest, the one who will be restrained will definitely not be him. You are the forest’s younger brother, so you should trust him even more,” Chen Guan said calmly.

Duan Hualong stared blankly at Chen Guan. Duan Shulin was indeed very talented, but because he didn't like cultivation, he was always perfunctory when he cultivated. His family members were not very at ease with him, nor did they trust him that much.

Even Duan Hualong, the younger brother, was always worried about Duan Shulin.

This was the first time he had ever seen someone trust his brother so much, and he looked at Chen Guan with a complicated expression.
