God of Pets-Chapter 651: Another Strike

Everyone was watching Chen Guan, eager to know how he would withstand Huang Tianming's hammer, which was like a thunderbolt.

Ji Nanhong also wanted to know the extent of Chen Guan's strength over this period.

Unexpectedly, facing the sky-collapsing-earth-shattering hammer, Chen Guan did not use any Secret Treasure, but merely raised his fist to strike the head of the hammer.

This punch didn't seem to have any terrifying power, nor did it show an explosion of Primordial Energy, appearing rather ordinary.

And indeed, this punch was very ordinary, for it wasn't a Secret Skill of any Fist Technique, but Chen Guan's original Unmoving Ming King Skill.

Combined with Azure Heaven Dominating Body and Vajra Unbreakable Divine Skill, this Body Protection Divine Skill not only possessed excellent defensive power but also had dominant destructive power.

The fist collided with the sky-collapsing-earth-shattering hammer, causing lightning on the hammerhead to burst and spread out in all directions.

Boom!

Chen Guan felt a violent shock force from his fist, making his bones almost shatter, and his shaking fist caused the ground beneath his feet to crack, fracturing the rocky surface within a hundred meters.

Half of his body sunk into the rock, and the stone beneath his feet turned to powder.

"What a powerful force!" Chen Guan was somewhat surprised, as the armor on his fist had shattered, and his knuckles appeared to have tiny cracks.

After all, he was using the Unmoving Ming King Skill reinforced by Spiritual Power, which even the reconstruction of Primordial Energy by the Ninefold Reverse Element Skill couldn't break.

"This Huang Yuanming indeed has some skills, no wonder none of the masters from the Qin Family could withstand his hammer," Chen Guan realized that Huang Tianming's hammer possessed a peculiar shattering force.

It was this force that disrupted the tightly structured Spiritual Power and allowed the hammer to break through.

Chen Guan guessed that the characteristic might be inherent to the purple-gold hammer, similar to the inherent mountain-opening attribute of the Mountain-Opening Axe.

Although Huang Tianming broke through Chen Guan's Spiritual Power, he too was having a hard time, as the immense force from the sky-collapsing-earth-shattering hammer nearly knocked him off balance.

To forcibly control the hammer, Huang Tianming had to step back several times to dissipate its force.

The members of the Red Blood Corps were both surprised and delighted, seeing that although Chen Guan was half buried in the ground, he hadn't moved a step nor left the circle.

"Where did the Corps Commander find this powerhouse? To withstand Nanhong's sky-collapsing-earth-shattering hammer strike with just his fist? That's incredible!" Jiang Tianqing thought joyfully.

Bai Yueguang, Zhu Hongzhi, and others were also visibly pleased.

Zhang Yujian was beaming as he said to Huang Tianming, "Old Huang, you have nothing to say about this, right?"

Huang Tianming's face was indecisive; after a long pause, he gritted his teeth and said, "That hammer strike doesn't count; I didn't use my full strength."

Zhang Yujian was not pleased and retorted, "Huang Tianming, do you have any shame? Do you think your own words are nothing but hot air? Release it and then consume it yourself?"

This time, Zhang Yujian was truly infuriated by Huang Tianming. He had expected their childhood friendship would bring him on board to help, but now Huang Tianming was making excessive demands and acting shamelessly.

Not only did Huang Tianming disgrace himself, but he also dragged Zhang Yujian's dignity through the mud, which understandably infuriated him. He was already exercising restraint; otherwise, his words could have been much harsher.

However, Huang Tianming was thick-skinned, completely ignoring Zhang Yujian, as if he didn't hear his words, and only looked at Chen Guan, saying, "So? Do you dare take my serious hammer?"

"Of course, I can." Chen Guan squinted his eyes, gesturing to stop the Red Blood Corps' generals from speaking for him, and calmly said to Huang Tianming.

To Chen Guan, playing by the rules has its way, and not playing by them has another.

After that punch, Chen Guan understood Huang Tianming's strength—it was strong indeed, with the special shattering characteristics of the hammer being both unique and powerful.

But such power was still not enough to defeat him.

"Commander, who is this person? Is there no problem?" Jiang Tianqing worriedly asked Ji Nanhong in a low voice.

"If he says there's no problem, then there isn't." Ji Nanhong was delighted; she understood Chen Guan and knew he wasn't one to gamble his life on pride.

Reassured by Ji Nanhong's words, Jiang Tianqing curiously observed Chen Guan. He couldn't fathom that within the Celestial Court Army, there was someone capable of withstanding Huang Tianming's purple-gold hammer with just his body.

It's important to note that Huang Tianming's purple-gold hammer had an extremely rare shattering property, almost capable of breaking anything. Even Secret Treasures of higher tiers could be vulnerable to the shattering property of the purple-gold hammer.

Without a Secret Law, the shattering property of the purple-gold hammer was extremely potent, just like the mountain-opening attribute of the Mountain-Opening Axe, with highly powerful Secret Treasure attributes.

Huang Tianming kept a stern gaze on Chen Guan, aware that Chen Guan's acceptance of the challenge meant he still had aces up his sleeve.

Thus, Huang Tianming would exert his full strength in the next strike, leaving no room for another chance.

This time, Huang Tianming directly activated his Celestial Destiny Star. A mask appeared on his face and quickly turned into purple-gold heavy armor that enveloped his entire body.

As the Celestial Destiny Star emerged, Huang Tianming once again lifted his purple-gold hammer, clashing it forcefully in the air.

Buzz!

Sparks flew, and both purple-gold hammers produced a continuous resonating hum.

This was a Secret Skill, capable of enhancing the shattering effect of the sky-collapsing-earth-shattering hammer.

At the peak of the resonance, Huang Tianming swung the hammer directly at Chen Guan, an image of a lightning giant rising from his body. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

The lightning hammer in the giant's hand merged with his purple-gold hammer during the downward swing, aiming to smash directly onto Chen Guan's head.

This strike not only utilized a Secret Skill for amplification but also employed Hidden Power.

Such terrifying momentum even made Ji Nanhong nervous for Chen Guan.

It wasn't that she doubted Chen Guan; even when you know the result regarding someone close, you can't help but worry.

Jiang Tianqing, Bai Yueguang, and the other generals also looked worriedly at Chen Guan, wondering how he'd withstand this hammer strike.

To their astonishment, whether due to lack of reaction timing or something else, Chen Guan stood motionless, not even raising a hand, even as the terrifyingly forceful purple-gold hammer was about to hit his head. It seemed punching back was too late.

"Did he make a wrong judgment?" A bad thought crossed everyone's mind.

Huang Tianming was also overjoyed; if Chen Guan had made a mistake, victory would be even more accessible.

But at the moment the purple-gold hammer hit Chen Guan's head, a red light flashed over him.

The complete Body Protection Divine Skill, because it consumed too much Primordial Energy, couldn't be used continuously by Chen Guan now, only during that split second when the purple-gold hammer struck,

Everyone watched the purple-gold hammer land on Chen Guan's head, unable to bear witnessing further.

Yet in the next second, they saw Huang Tianming's face full of shock as his purple-gold hammer not only failed to crush Chen Guan's head but rebounded instead.

Huang Tianming couldn't maintain his grip on the hammer handle, losing hold of it, and the hammerhead slammed into his own body, sending him flying backward, with his chest and armor caving in.

Boom!

Huang Tianming was smashed into the mountainside by the sky-collapsing-earth-shattering purple-gold hammer, causing the entire mountain wall to shatter with explosive electricity, leading to a collapse that buried him and the hammer beneath rock and stone.

The surroundings fell silent, with people from both the Red Blood Corps and Huang Tianming's troops dumbfounded.

In the previous hammer strike, Huang Tianming had a slight upper hand, but in this strike, not only did he fail to harm Chen Guan, but he also seemed critically hit, his survival uncertain, while Chen Guan didn't even lift a hand.

"Who... exactly is this person..." Everyone looked at Chen Guan in shock, unable to guess his origin.
