God of Pets Chapter 928: Only One Can Survive
Previously on God of Pets...
"Are you really Qing Bai?" Qi Tianxin stared at Chen Guan and said.
"Whether I am or not, what’s the difference?" Chen Guan replied calmly.
"This is a grudge between you and me, it has nothing to do with these youngsters. Let them go. My life is yours to take if you have the skill." Qi Tianxin took a step forward, light and shadows on his body erupted into ten thousand rays of brilliance, as if a deity.
Yet no matter how vast his Secret Collection was, he was still trapped within the Secret Realm Pearl, merely an insignificant object at Chen Guan’s fingertips.
"If you want them to live, it’s not difficult, as long as you’re willing to kneel and kowtow to admit your mistake and plead with me." Chen Guan looked at the three with interest and said.
At his Level and Realm, killing was no longer the ultimate goal; seeking a breakthrough in humanity held the key to crossing the final threshold.
Chen Guan’s aim was not simply to dominate the Divine Land. Even without the threat of the Ten Celestial Kings, the danger of the Celestial Secret Realm’s arrival loomed in the future.
Chen Guan had witnessed the power of the Celestial Secret Realm, a force through countless generations that no one had escaped from during its great purges.
To end it all in this era, he must continue to grow stronger.
As soon as Chen Guan finished speaking, Qi Tianxin immediately knelt on the ground, bowing to Chen Guan.
"I beg you, you can humiliate me in any way, for this is our fate. I only ask you to spare them." Qi Tianxin said.
Qing Ya was somewhat shocked, not expecting Qi Tianxin to go to such lengths.
Bu Changning, however, said nothing, his eyes fixed on Chen Guan as if he were a creator of worlds.
"Qi Tianxin, you have your way. Since I promised you, then as you wish, one of them can leave alive, you decide who lives or dies." Chen Guan spoke unhurriedly.
"You promised me you’d let them go." Qi Tianxin said angrily.
"I did promise you, but I never said they all could live. You kowtowed once, so I let one live, what’s the problem with that?" Chen Guan replied.
Without a word, Qi Tianxin kowtowed again, then looked up at Chen Guan and said, "Is it enough now? I’ll kowtow as many times as you want, I beg you to let them go, this has nothing to do with our grudge."
"You think you can call the shots? I said only one person can live, then only one person can live. Even if you kowtow a thousand or ten thousand times, what I have said cannot be changed." Chen Guan said indifferently.
"Godfather, no need to beg him, I will stay. Even if we can’t kill him, we must tear a piece of him apart..." Bu Changning glared at Chen Guan.
"Nonsense, leave now, immediately." Qi Tianxin scolded.
"Interesting, are you sure you don’t want to leave?" Chen Guan asked with a smile.
"No, I won’t." Bu Changning replied resolutely.
"Even knowing this woman is Qing Ya, you still choose to forgo the chance to leave here?" Chen Guan said calmly.
With just one sentence, Bu Changning’s mental defenses were pierced, leaving him momentarily stunned, his gaze unconsciously turning to Qing Ya.
Qing Ya was greatly startled, she had used the Destiny Reversing Technique, not an ordinary Disguise Technique. Even beings like Qi Tianxin and the Big Boss couldn’t see through her true identity.
This person could directly call out her true identity, leaving Qing Ya both shocked and angry, and more in awe of Chen Guan.
"Are you Qing Ya?" Bu Changning asked coldly, staring at Qing Ya.
"What Qing Ya?" Qing Ya frowned and retorted.
"It must be you." Bu Changning glanced at her and then looked away.
After all they had been through, Bu Changning had long let go of it. To him, Qing Ya was no different from the grass and trees by the roadside, unable to stir any emotion within him.
"Tell me, are you still giving up your chance to survive to let her leave alive?" Chen Guan asked Bu Changning.
"Her leaving or not has nothing to do with me. If my godfather doesn’t leave, then I won’t either. Before I die, no one can touch a hair on his head." Bu Changning said coldly.
"Haha, interesting. In that case, I shall keep my promise and let one of you leave alive." Chen Guan laughed as he looked toward Qing Ya.
Qing Ya was furious, thinking she was finally allowed to leave alive.
She believed that with her current abilities, even if there were people she couldn’t defeat, she at least had the means to escape.
But unexpectedly, she was now suppressed, her fate held in someone else’s hands.
"Lucky for me, Bu Changning is such a fool..." Qing Ya thought to herself.
Yet the next second, Chen Guan’s finger pointed towards Qi Tianxin: "Only one person can leave alive, and I’ve decided that person is you. Do you wish to go?"
Following Chen Guan’s finger, a portal opened in the void, leading to the outside world.
For a moment, all three were stunned, never expecting the Great Demon to make such a choice.
Qing Ya was thrown into turmoil: "This person truly deserves the title of Great Demon; his mastery in manipulating hearts is no lesser than mine. However, he overestimates Qi Tianxin and human nature. Aside from this fool Bu Changning, no one would forsake such an opportunity."
Sure enough, without saying a word, Qi Tianxin flew upwards, passing through the portal, without the slightest hesitation.
But when Qi Tianxin passed through the portal, his figure emerged from another portal on the other side; he couldn’t escape.
"You..." Qi Tianxin said angrily, glaring at Chen Guan: "The so-called Great Demon Qing Bai actually breaks his word."
"When did I ever say I was the Great Demon? Even if I were, you actually believe the words of a Great Demon? It seems you misunderstand those three words." Chen Guan said contemptuously: "Qi Tianxin, no matter what you do, you cannot avoid death today. Don’t waste your efforts."
As he spoke, Chen Guan flicked the Secret Realm Pearl, causing the surrounding space to contract, attempting to crush Qi Tianxin to death.
Surprisingly, Bu Changning stood in front of Qi Tianxin.
There was no anger on his face, nor was there any resentment in his eyes, he just stood in front of Qi Tianxin, calmly looking at Chen Guan.
"You willingly protect him with your life, yet he abandons you. Are you not willing to risk your life for him? Don’t you hate him?" Chen Guan asked, somewhat surprised.
Bu Changning appeared very calm, but his body was burning, in a literal sense.
Black flames were consuming his body, reducing his flesh to ashes.
"I have hated much, and I have blamed much, but by today, I have long understood that resentment is the most useless emotion in the human world; the world will not change because of my resentment, nor will anyone in this world suffer because of it."
As Bu Changning spoke, his physical body was completely reduced to ashes, leaving behind only a ghostly figure that seemed neither truly real nor unreal, standing there.
"No matter how he treats me now, in the past seven years he did genuine things for me, so he cannot die, especially not in front of me." With Bu Changning’s words, his physical body had completely turned to ash, leaving only a phantom-like body, as if existing between void and reality.
"His life... belongs to me... I will take it myself... Death’s punishment is far from enough..." That ghostly figure opened its mouth and eyes, blood color spreading within, adding an unspeakable terror and eeriness.
His mouth smiled, but his eyes were filled with endless pain and torment.
In Chen Guan’s mind, the voice documenting the absolute secret archives echoed again.
