Chapter 924: Chapter 924: The Power of a Single Glance
"Ji Fenglie has already been defeated," Qin Qiu said, looking at the image in the mirror.
"How can you tell?" Shang Wanyin couldn’t see the signs.
"Ji Fenglie has used all his strength, while Qi Tianxin has yet to truly exert himself," Qin Qiu contemplated, "It seems we have all underestimated Chief Judge Qi."
Shang Wanyin was not a foolish man; upon careful thought, his face revealed a look of shock: "Throughout the battle, he has been using various Secret Treasures to fight, but has yet to employ his own power. This man indeed hides his true capabilities very deeply."
"Originally, I thought he and Ji Fenglie were only comparable to each other, at most with Ji Fenglie having fewer trump cards. But now it seems that Chief Judge Qi’s real skills are something we have yet to witness."
Saying that, Qin Qiu suddenly smiled and added, "It’s fitting, to be someone followed by that person, how could he possess only these superficial skills?"
"Who is it?" Shang Wanyin was bewildered.
Qin Qiu did not explain further, but this alone made him understand that Shang Wanyin was not the true future leader of the Shang Family. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be ignorant of that person, nor forget that person.
With just one sentence, Qin Qiu dismissed the possibility of cooperation proposed by Shang Wanyin.
Even if there were to be cooperation, it could only be negotiated with the true future leader of the Shang Family, not someone with incomplete memories.
Ji Fenglie exhausted all his means and still couldn’t do anything about Qi Tianxin, gradually realizing that Qi Tianxin had many hidden strategies yet to be unleashed.
The more it was like this, the more his offensive couldn’t stop. If he stopped now, his next encounter would likely be met with Qi Tianxin’s thunderous strike.
"Fenglie, you should retreat now." Fortunately, at this moment, Chen Guan’s voice finally came.
Ji Fenglie quickly retreated, unafraid of Qi Tianxin’s counterattack. If he retaliated, the Great Demon would act.
But until Ji Fenglie retreated behind Chen Guan, Qi Tianxin did not make a move.
After Ji Fenglie stabilized himself, Qi Tianxin calmly said, "I can save your life; I can also take it away. If I want you to live, no one can kill you. If I want you to die, no one can keep you alive."
When Qi Tianxin finished speaking, Ji Fenglie smirked coldly, trying to say something; he opened his mouth, but blood spurted wildly, his eyes stared blankly as he fell backward.
"What a chief judge, skilled in killing and psychological warfare!" Qin Qiu praised in his heart.
It’s clear that Qi Tianxin had already done something to Ji Fenglie, controlling his life and death.
Yet he remained patient, not using this method even knowing his wife had been abducted.
Up until just now, he still hadn’t used it.
Only when Ji Fenglie returned to the Great Demon’s side, believing he was protected and completely safe, did Qi Tianxin strike him dead.
This not only killed Ji Fenglie but directly impacted the Great Demon, even if it didn’t upset his mind, it could still make him wary.
Chen Guan glanced at Ji Fenglie, who was bleeding profusely and falling backward, reached out, and forcefully pulled him back before he hit the ground, pressing a hand on Ji Fenglie’s head, Primordial Energy pouring directly from the top.
In an instant, Ji Fenglie, who was originally dead, miraculously revived, no longer spitting blood, and his gaze was restored, though his face remained pallid.
"So that’s it, what a cunning Qi Tianxin, he outthought me," Qin Qiu marveled. freeweɓnovel.cøm
"What do you mean?" Shang Wanyin hadn’t figured it out yet.
"The Great Demon just used the Secret Skill ’Soul Pursuing Mortal Grip’ to save Ji Fenglie," Qin Qiu said just that.
Upon hearing this, Shang Wanyin contemplated and then understood, his eyes widened in surprise: "That ’Soul Pursuing Mortal Grip’ is a life-integrating Secret Skill, requiring the user’s own essence and spirit to unite to deploy it, meaning a clone cannot use ’Soul Pursuing Mortal Grip’. Now, is this person the Great Demon’s true body?"
It was only then that Shang Wanyin comprehended everything, horrified: "So Qi Tianxin wasn’t trying to kill Ji Fenglie, nor was he trying to thwart the Great Demon, nor was he showing off, but to force the Great Demon to use ’Soul Pursuing Mortal Grip’, proving his identity as the true body here."
"Exactly; only by confirming the Great Demon’s true body is here, can we possibly take action, and he can possibly survive," Qin Qiu responded.
"This Qi Tianxin truly has deep schemes and long calculations," Shang Wanyin realized his previous impressions of Qi Tianxin might not have been accurate.
"However, merely proving the Great Demon’s true body is here is not enough," Qin Qiu said.
Shang Wanyin nodded: "The risks of besieging the Great Demon are extremely high; if he escapes again, the Ten Great Families cannot afford the consequences. Without absolute preparation, our Shang Family will definitely not take action."
Qi Tianxin wasn’t too disappointed by not seeing the Ten Great Families act.
His precise contingencies were more than just one and never relied solely on the Ten Great Families.
"No wonder he’s the Great Demon," Qi Tianxin said calmly, looking at Chen Guan.
Chen Guan motioned for Ji Fenglie to step back, seriously considering Qi Tianxin.
After witnessing the battle between Qi Tianxin and Xiu Jie Ming, one might instinctively think Qi Tianxin is only so-so.
But considering Xiu Jie Ming’s invincible physical form was the reason Qi Tianxin’s methods couldn’t kill him.
Changing to someone else, Qi Tianxin’s myriad strategies could make it simple to kill them, even if they were a Ninth Awakening Powerhouse.
If Chen Guan hadn’t learned some of the important Composite Secret Skills from Chen Xinghe’s formulas, it would be difficult to save Ji Fenglie’s life.
’Soul Pursuing Mortal Grip’ is one of them; its name sounds ferocious, yet it’s actually a life-saving Secret Skill, mainly not for attacking.
Chen Guan looked at Qi Tianxin but said nothing; he had no intention of saying more to Qi Tianxin because, in his view, Qi Tianxin was already dead.
No need for entanglements with a dead man, every word is a waste.
Chen Guan reached out to pat the Golden Monkey’s head; after spending time together, even without the Secret Law of telepathy facilitating them, they could understand each other’s intentions.
With Chen Guan’s tap, the Golden Monkey opened its eyes, looking towards Qi Tianxin.
Despite Qi Tianxin’s prior preparations, he still couldn’t avoid the golden lightning in the Golden Monkey’s gaze, his body was directly pierced by it.
Qi Tianxin looked down at the scorched hole in his chest, his face full of horror. He had already understood the Golden Monkey’s capabilities, knowing the elite from the Ten Great Families were captured and controlled by this Golden Monkey.
He made thorough preparations, wearing Absolute Electric Soft Armor and several top-tier Secret Treasures that could resist the Power of Thunder.
Combined with his own capabilities and speed, comprehensively calculated, yet he still didn’t anticipate being directly struck by the lightning in the Golden Monkey’s eyes, unable to dodge.
Even the Secret Law of the Thunder Secret Treasure couldn’t withstand this lightning, and Absolute Electric Soft Armor was directly pierced.
