God of Pets-Chapter 585: Impossible to Figure Out
Wu Zhiqi's mouth was crooked, his eyes slanted, and his body twitched as if he were afflicted by ALS, unable to control his body anymore.
Without hesitation, Chen Guan charged forward, and with one stroke of the axe, he chopped off the head of Wu Zhiqi, who had no power to resist.
Without the protection of the Secret Skill, even a body as strong as Wu Zhiqi's couldn't withstand the power of the Mountain-Opening Axe.
After the head was chopped off, Chen Guan summoned Rouge and Ghost Eye, one to suck blood, the other to devour flesh, allowing them to consume the energy they needed to their heart's content.
Such nourishing blood and flesh are not something you encounter every day.
Chen Guan himself used the Mountain-Opening Axe to cut off some flesh, placing it into Yellow Mud Island, intending to feed Warring States later, so Warring States could level up sooner.
With Chen Guan's resources, it should be easy to promote Warring States to the level of Five Senses or even Six Senses.
After all, Warring States isn't picky at all; it eats Secret Spirit flesh, Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, anything, and grows faster than both Rouge and Ghost Eye.
The severed head of Wu Zhiqi opened its mouth, and a black Sword Pill flew out, floating in the water, which Chen Guan grabbed with one hand.
Secret Treasure: Water-avoiding Sword Pill (Secret God).
Level: 60.
Special: Capable of Growth.
Along with the Mountain-Opening Axe and Nine Bells Whip, it's a Secret Divine Artifact of the same level, also possessing the attribute of growth.
Having this attribute means that the level of the Water-avoiding Sword Pill can be upgraded, and its quality and capability will grow accordingly, potentially rivaling higher-level Secret Treasures in the future.
Ordinary Secret Treasures do not have the attribute of growth.
Holding the Sword Pill, Chen Guan contemplated silently: "I've already promised Xia Guagua to help them defeat Wu Zhiqi and retrieve the Water-Resistant Sword; wouldn't taking it now be unscrupulous?"
But such a fine Secret Treasure, he was reluctant to part with.
The Water-avoiding Sword Pill is undoubtedly a Divine Artifact on the battlefield, and its role might even surpass that of the Mountain-Opening Axe. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺
"If I escape into the water now and never appear in this guise again, no one would know it was me who took the Water-avoiding Sword Pill..." Chen Guan thought about it but decided against this idea.
Tricking a kid out of something made him feel low in stature.
If he were to steal or deceive, it should be to take things from smart and ruthless people, which would be more satisfying and wouldn't seem so lowbrow.
Moreover, once he uses the Water-Resistant Sword, he'll be discovered; it's fit for battlefield use and can't be used where nobody's around; hiding it is pointless.
"Hopefully, the Xia Family members will make the first move later, so that I can rightly take things with me; I need to think of a way to make them strike first." Chen Guan plotted in his mind.
Ghost Eye finally swallowed Wu Zhiqi's remaining body, and Chen Guan collected them back, then dragged Wu Zhiqi's head, floating toward the water's surface.
...
Xia Huang and the others, seeing no activity on the water's surface, assumed that Chen Guan had met a grim fate and were troubled about what to do next.
Wu Zhiqi, now with the Mountain-Opening Axe, was even more invincible, harder to kill.
As they were pondering in a daze, suddenly, the water exploded, and a massive object emerged from the parted water, shockingly Wu Zhiqi's gigantic head.
But below Wu Zhiqi's head, there was no body, only the upright figure of a middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man held Wu Zhiqi's head in one hand, walking on the water's surface like an immortal who vanquished evil.
"Wu Zhiqi was killed by him!" Xia Hua was dumbfounded, unable to fathom how he accomplished it.
The water was Wu Zhiqi's domain, his combat power there was at least twice that on land.
And in water, he could quickly recover Primordial Energy, making his power bursts more enduring and lasting.
Even though Chen Guan had the Mountain-Opening Axe, it was evident that the axe was restrained by the Water-avoiding Sword Pill. In such a disadvantageous situation, he still managed to kill Wu Zhiqi, which was truly unbelievable.
Stepping on the waves, Chen Guan reached the shore, tossed the monkey head to the ground, and drew out the Water-avoiding Sword Pill, holding it in one hand, with the Mountain-Opening Axe in the other.
With a thought, Chen Guan activated the Water-avoiding Sword Pill, causing it to float in his palm.
Everyone's hearts were on edge, not knowing what Chen Guan intended to do.
His underwater feat of killing Wu Zhiqi was astounding and terrifying, making everyone fearful of him.
Chen Guan raised his palm, and the Water-avoiding Sword Pill, surrounded by rippling sword waves, rapidly flew towards Xia Hua.
Xia Hua was astonished, almost instinctively reaching out to use Secret Skills, simultaneously calling Xia Huang and Xia Guagua to join in using Secret Skills.
With her power alone, it was hard to resist the Water-avoiding Sword Pill; only with a joint attack of three could they control it.
Xia Huang didn't hesitate, immediately using a combined skill with Xia Hua to resist the Sword Pill.
But soon, the two realized that Xia Guagua didn't act as they expected, joining in using the combined skill, and the Water-avoiding Sword Pill was fast approaching.
Missing one person's contribution, the combined skill couldn't form, and it was too late to defend.
Both were alarmed and desperately channeled Primordial Energy, hoping to employ another Secret Skill to block it before the Sword Pill arrived.
But before they could activate their Secret Skills, they saw Xia Guagua standing in front of Xia Hua, reaching out to catch the Sword Pill.
Xia Huang and Xia Hua were both startled because Xia Guagua really reached out to catch it without using any Secret Skill or Primordial Energy.
If it came down directly, wouldn't it shatter his hand along with the rest of him?
As the two exclaimed, they saw the Sword Pill stop before Xia Guagua, slowly landing in his palm.
"Thank you, big brother of the Purple Sun Corps, for helping us retrieve the Water-Resistant Sword," Xia Guagua said happily, holding the Sword Pill.
Chen Guan sighed silently; his feigned attack and real throw were meant to provoke Xia Hua and Xia Huang to strike, giving him a pretext to take the Water Sword and Qiongqi.
But since Xia Guagua ruined this plan, Chen Guan could do nothing more, reluctantly turning Qiongqi over to Xia Guagua, then lifted Wu Zhiqi's head and left without a word.
Xia Huang and Xia Hua, still shaken, watched Chen Guan's departing figure with complex expressions.
"This person is both righteous and wicked, his actions are puzzling; truly a peculiar man," Xia Hua remarked with a strange expression.
Xia Huang nodded: "Indeed, a peculiar man."
"This big brother is very good, he helped us retrieve the Water Sword without charging us any money, clearly a great man. How can you say he is a peculiar person with both righteous and wicked traits?" Xia Guagua disagreed with their assessment.
Xia Huang and Xia Hua didn't explain to him, because it was difficult to articulate.
These perceptive individuals had already discerned some of Chen Guan's thoughts.
If they had actually engaged with Chen Guan, the Water Sword and Qiongqi might never have been returned.
But thanks to Xia Guagua's interference, the man really returned both the Water Sword and Qiongqi, contrary to their expectations, leaving them unable to understand what sort of person he was.
It's tough to say whether he's a good or bad person, but one thing is certain: this person is terrifyingly powerful.
