God of Pets

Chen Guan saw Zhang Chunxiang being trapped by the Soul-Calling Banner, her body involuntarily pulled back. With a gesture, the Profound Celestial Infinite Battle Spear appeared in his hand.

He aimed at the jade lynx, ready to throw the battle spear, when he heard a crackling sound like electrical currents clashing.

Zhang Chunxiang was waving paper talismans in her hand, and when the black energy from the Soul-Calling Banner touched them, arcs of electricity instantly broke the black energy apart.

The black energy couldn't approach Zhang Chunxiang for the moment, but those paper talismans were consumables, and it was unclear how many she had with her.

Fu Tianji's expression remained unchanged as the black energy inside the Soul-Calling Banner grew fiercer, swirling around Zhang Chunxiang like countless resentful spirits and fierce ghosts attacking her.

For a moment, the entire mountain top was shrouded in black energy, as if a heavy cloud was pressing down.

Zhang Chunxiang's paper talismans were running low, and she couldn't break through, feeling anxious.

Suddenly, Zhang Chunxiang raised her hand and took out a small jade bottle, not even as large as a palm, and shouted, "Fu Tianji, what I have here is the Zhang Family's Dragon Tiger Golden Pill. It can extend life, heal wounds, and regenerate flesh. If Yang Hu takes this pill, it can replenish his lost life span and restore his body better than simply replenishing life span. If you let me go, I'll give you this pill, or else I'll destroy it right now."

Fu Tianji paused with the Soul-Calling Banner in his hand, and the ghostly black energy came to a halt, solidifying in the air but still trapping Zhang Chunxiang within.

"Give it to me," Fu Tianji said, reaching out his hand.

"If I give it to you now, what if you don't let me go?" Zhang Chunxiang was frustrated seeing the black energy around her not dispersing.

She originally wanted to take the opportunity to escape, but with the black energy not dispersing, she didn't have a chance.

Fu Tianji, being who he was, immediately noticed the slight change in Zhang Chunxiang's expression. He waved the Soul-Calling Banner, and the black energy surged more fiercely toward Zhang Chunxiang.

Realizing she couldn't deceive Fu Tianji, Zhang Chunxiang hesitated no longer, directly uncorked the bottle, and tossed its contents out.

Red pills scattered out, and upon contact with the black energy, the small red pills exploded, forming a large area of red mist.

When the black energy encountered the red mist, it was like snow meeting sunlight, instantly melting away a portion.

Zhang Chunxiang seized the opportunity to dash toward the clouds below the mountain top, but unfortunately, she was under a prohibition, unable to run fast or summon her pets.

Fu Tianji, wanting her to find the Dragon and Tiger Convergence in peace, hadn't taken her belongings, only sealing her Primordial Energy and pet summoning ability.

Initially, he intended to let her go, but now having no other options, he could only take Zhang Chunxiang's life span.

There was simply too much black energy, and the red mist was thinning, about to trap Zhang Chunxiang again.

Chen Guan watched, aghast. He had heard of the Soul-Calling Banner's infamous reputation, said to be even more insidious than the Ghost King Refining Cauldron.

The Ghost King Refining Cauldron required Ghost Type Secret Spirits to upgrade, while the Soul-Calling Banner could directly devour all life forms' souls, not sparing even human souls.

The more souls it collected, the stronger the Soul-Calling Banner became.

Fu Tianji's Soul-Calling Banner had such vast amounts of black energy, who knew how many souls it had absorbed to achieve such an effect?

However, fortunately, Fu Tianji's level was too low, limiting the level of the Soul-Calling Banner he could use. Though the Yin energy was strong, its level wasn't high.

Chen Guan had been looking for an opportunity, wondering if he could launch a surprise attack, yet despite Zhang Chunxiang's capture, he found no opening in Fu Tianji's defenses. He stood by the jade lynx the whole time, giving no chance for an attack.

Zhang Chunxiang seemed to be at her limit, her red mist on the verge of being completely dispersed.

"I'm already at odds with Fu Tianji; might as well forge some good karma with the Zhang Family," Chen Guan thought, gripping the battle spear, and suddenly hurled it at the jade lynx.

Simultaneously, Chen Guan rushed toward the black energy enveloping Zhang Chunxiang. He intended to rescue Zhang Chunxiang first and then take her away, hoping to lure Fu Tianji away.

He couldn't outrun Fu Tianji's saber, but he could outrun Fu Tianji himself.

As long as he could lure Fu Tianji away or deplete his Primordial Energy, he wouldn't fear his Celestial Gate Left-Hand Saber in a fight.

The Celestial Gate Left-Hand Saber was a Composite Secret Skill, with undoubtedly high Primordial Energy consumption. Without Primordial Energy, it was worthless.

Zhang Chunxiang, seeing the red mist nearly gone, gritted her teeth and took out her Life-Saving Talisman, igniting it directly in her hand.

As she burned the Life-Saving Talisman, she saw Chen Guan's palms aflame with green fire, where it passed, the black energy ignited, turning into raging flames.

In the midst of the ghostly flames, Chen Guan charged forward recklessly, making Zhang Chunxiang widen her eyes in surprise.

She hadn't expected Chen Guan to appear here, let alone come to her rescue.

But now that she'd used the Life-Saving Talisman, it was too late to cancel it.

The battle spear turned into a black lightning bolt, striking toward the jade lynx behind Fu Tianji. Sinian detected it immediately, sidestepping slightly, and managed to deflect the spear with a backhanded slash.

Chen Guan hadn't expected to actually harm the jade lynx with the battle spear, merely using the opportunity for Zhang Chunxiang's rescue.

But when Chen Guan used the Profound Nether Yin Fire Palm to counter the Yin energy of the Soul-Calling Banner and reached Zhang Chunxiang, he saw a golden talisman burning in her hand, and a strange expression on her face.

"I..." Zhang Chunxiang managed to utter just one word when her body was enveloped by a golden light, instantly turning into a stream of light and flying far away, disappearing into the Cloud Sea in the blink of an eye.

Chen Guan was stunned, realizing he'd ended up saving nothing but air.

"You actually found your way here. Fine, she escaped, so I'll take your life span instead," Fu Tianji said, seeing Chen Guan's palm power countering the Soul-Calling Banner. He immediately put away the Soul-Calling Banner and summoned the Secret God Purple Profound, charging at Chen Guan.

Fu Tianji himself also rushed toward Chen Guan, tightly gripping the Secret God's Tooth.

Chen Guan hesitated not a moment, activating the One-Night Step and turning to flee.

Step by step, within a few strides, he left Purple Profound and Fu Tianji behind, on the verge of rushing into the clouds.

Seeing he couldn't catch up to Chen Guan, a strange look flashed in Fu Tianji's eyes, and his face immediately turned a blood-red hue.

Spewing a mouthful of fresh blood, Fu Tianji's body surged, colliding with the blood, and suddenly accelerated with an unbelievable speed, rapidly closing in on Chen Guan.

"Blood Escape Technique…" Chen Guan exclaimed in shock.

The Five Elements Escape Technique was not within the realm of Lightweight Skill nor was it a Secret Skill of the Blessed Land; it generally required a Level of Grotto Heaven to cultivate.

Similar techniques, under limited conditions, were indeed faster than Lightweight Body Techniques.

There were exceptions, like the Blood Escape Technique. The level requirement wasn't as high, but the price for using it was one's own vital essence and life span, causing tremendous self-harm.

Fu Tianji, in order to capture him, used such a self-deteriorating Secret Skill, sacrificing his own essence blood and life span to deal with Chen Guan.
