God of Pets

When your tactics and skills are inferior to your opponent's, brute force is your only option.

Xiu Haofeng's eyes flashed with coldness as he suddenly swung his spear, hurling it at the three of Chen Guan, then drew the saber from his waist.

The saber was just a standard-issue wooden saber used in competitions, with nothing special about it.

But once he held it, Xiu Haofeng seemed to transform into a terrifying, unparalleled weapon unsheathed.

At the moment the wooden saber swung, a blade wind as sharp as a razor unexpectedly appeared on its edge.

With a sonic boom, the blade wind slashed three feet across the air, striking Ximen Ding's wooden saber, cutting it into two pieces.

"Shocking Wind Blade Energy... Earth-Shattering Thirteen Sabers... Xiu Haofeng is ready to lay everything bare," Jiang Tianqing sighed and said, "Although this Xiu Haofeng is domineering, his talent, ability, strategy, and hard work are all top-notch. He's managed to produce blade energy with the Earth-Shattering Thirteen Sabers during the First Awakening, a level of comprehensive strength that's rare even in our Reserve Team."

"The Shocking Wind Blade Energy can leverage the Heaven and Earth Energy, its sharpness riding the wind with minimal Primordial Energy consumption, achieving a line-breaking surface effect. The blade energy cuts like a steel saw, and combined with the superb speed of the Earth-Shattering Thirteen Sabers, it can be resisted if one uses a pet or a strong enough Secret Treasure, but with a wooden saber, it's simply impossible to block," Ximen Ding shook his head and said, "Even if Chen Guan's team could use a Secret Skill to block a few blows, facing the onslaught of Shocking Wind Blade Energy will inevitably disrupt their formation. Once the formation breaks, defeat is a certainty."

In truth, when Ximen Ding's wooden saber was cut in half, a hint of chaos already appeared in their battle array, only remedied by Shi Zhimen's powerful command.

But as Xiu Haofeng continued to unleash Shocking Wind Blade Energy, they found it increasingly difficult to withstand, and it was only a matter of time before their battle array was disrupted, and quickly so.

Xiu Haofeng's wooden saber was unstoppable, the Shocking Wind Blade Energy shattered all in its path, each strike faster than the last, with no one able to stop him.

"He's really strong!" Chen Guan originally thought that with the motivation from the Spirit of the Cheerleaders, and relying on the performance of the team and Ximen Ding, victory could be secured, while he only needed to enjoy the fruits.

However, this Xiu Haofeng, deserving of being from the Xiu Family, indeed had extraordinary abilities, forcibly breaking the situation with his own power.

Even with the Spirit of the Cheerleaders' encouragement, Shi Zhimen and Ximen Ding couldn't bear the burden.

It wasn't because they lacked ability, but because their starting point was too low and resources too scarce. Without Unparalleled Secret Techniques and Unparalleled Secret Skills, no matter how talented they are, they couldn't spontaneously produce blade energy like Xiu Haofeng.

This was the heritage of the powerful, not an issue that can be resolved by stimulating potential.

Chen Guan knew he could no longer slack off; he didn't want to lose to Xiu Haofeng. He wanted to take first place, earn points to exchange for elixirs, and also seize that opportunity to slay a Second Awakening World-Defying Secret Spirit.

"No, Shi Zhimen and Ximen Ding have done enough, but their foundation is lacking, it's impossible to defeat Xiu Haofeng, it's really a shame," Ximen Ding had already concluded, and continued with a sigh, "Chen Guan has been slacking too much, failing to give Shi Zhimen and Ximen Ding enough support, otherwise the situation wouldn't be like this. Being the captain as well, there's quite a gap here."

"Under these circumstances, it's thanks to Shi Zhimen that the team is able to retreat in an orderly manner, truly a rare commander," Jiang Tianqing liked the Reserve Team more the longer he watched and had already thought of recruiting Shi Zhimen into his official troop in the future.

Currently, it's indeed because of Shi Zhimen that they haven't been utterly defeated by Xiu Haofeng, still managing to fight while retreating.

But the situation on the field has completely reversed, with Xiu Haofeng leading powerfully, Team 1 is now entirely in an advantageous position.

With Xiu Haofeng's momentum, Leng Zhe and Wan Buxiu also began to exert their strength, and Team 17's situation grew increasingly dire.

"Let's see how effective this Netherworld Emperor's Sword Technique really is." In the battle array's rotation, when it was Chen Guan's turn to retreat, he instead faced Xiu Haofeng head-on and threw his large spear like a javelin towards Xiu Haofeng, simultaneously drawing the wooden sword from his waist.

"What's he trying to do? Face the Shocking Wind Blade Energy head-on? Even with a wooden saber, the Shocking Wind Blade Energy can be lethal!" Many were shocked by Chen Guan's action.

Facing the incoming spear, Xiu Haofeng's lips curled in mockery as he slashed directly at the spear.

The spear was cleaved in two like cutting through bamboo under the blade energy, but the Shocking Wind Blade Energy continued unabated, slicing towards Chen Guan.

Chen Guan didn't show any intention of dodging the unstoppable blade energy, and at this point, there was no time for dodging.

With a flick of his wrist, Chen Guan's wooden sword sprang up, stabbing towards the sound-explosive blade energy.

The blade energy shattered, and Chen Guan's wooden sword seemed like a steel awl, directly piercing through the blade energy, the tip of the sword colliding with Xiu Haofeng's saber edge.

Crack!

Xiu Haofeng's wooden saber was unexpectedly broken by the wooden sword.

Everyone was stunned, and no one anticipated that Chen Guan's sword would have such an effect.

"The Netherworld Emperor Sword..." Jiang Tianqing immediately recognized the Secret Skill Chen Guan was using.

"What... the Netherworld Emperor Sword... Did Chen Guan complete the Ghost Emperor-slaying task... Did they only kill one Ghost Emperor... and obtain the Netherworld Emperor Sword..." Ximen Ding's eyes widened.

This kind of Unparalleled Sword Skill, the Netherworld Emperor Sword, had appeared before, only available from the Ghost Emperor in the Beimang Mountain Secret Realm.

But since this skill surfaced, showing incredible power in a certain big shot's hands, many have set their sights on the Netherworld Emperor Sword Technique.

However, the Netherworld Emperor Sword Technique was incredibly rare, and the number of Ghost Emperors was limited, so until now, the known techniques in circulation numbered less than the fingers on one hand.

Throughout so many years, that number was all there was; it's unknown how many Ghost Emperors were slain to come by it, yet Chen Guan killed merely one Ghost Emperor and acquired the Netherworld Emperor Sword, which is extraordinarily lucky.

The Netherworld Emperor Sword Technique is valued because of its very practical trait, namely its Armor-piercing Effect.

It can concentrate all its power on the sword tip to deliver a very strong Armor-piercing Effect, equivalent to breaking through a surface at a single point.

The only pity is that while the Netherworld Emperor Sword Technique has the Armor-piercing Effect, it cannot, like the Earth-Shattering Thirteen Sabers, reach an extreme where it can generate Shocking Wind Blade Energy.

However, if the Netherworld Emperor Sword Technique is mastered to the extreme, even a reed or a single rose can be used as an Unparalleled Divine Weapon, concentrating effort into a needle's point, allowing even chives to pierce through steel.
