Chapter 924 The Power of a Single Glance

"Ji Fenglie has been defeated," Qin Qiu said, looking at his reflection in the mirror.

"How do you know?" Shang Wanyin had not seen through the clues.

“Ji Fenglie has already used all his strength, and Qi Tianxin has not yet truly exerted his power.” Qin Qiu said thoughtfully, “It seems we have all underestimated this Judge Qi.”

Shang Wanyin was no fool. After thinking it over carefully, a look of surprise appeared on his face: "Throughout the entire battle, he has been using various secret treasures and has not used his own power at all. This person is indeed hiding his true strength very well."

"Originally, I also thought that he and Ji Fenglie were evenly matched, with Ji Fenglie having fewer trump cards. But now it seems that we have not yet witnessed the true abilities of this Chief Qi."

At this point, Qin Qiu suddenly smiled and said, "That's more like it. Someone who can command such a following person must have more than just this much ability."

"Who is it?" Shang Wanyin asked, looking completely bewildered.

Qin Qiu didn't explain, but from this point alone, he already understood that Shang Wanyin was probably not the true future leader of the Shang family. Otherwise, he would not be unaware of that person, nor would he forget that person.

With just one sentence, Qin Qiu had already rejected the possibility of cooperation proposed by Shang Wanyin.

Even if a collaboration is to be pursued, it should only be discussed by the true future leader of the business, not by someone whose memory is incomplete.

Ji Fenglie tried everything he could, but he couldn't get rid of Qi Tianxin. He gradually realized that Qi Tianxin had many other tricks up her sleeve.

The more this happened, the more unstoppable his offensive became. If he stopped now, he would probably be met with a thunderous blow from Qi Tianxin.

"Feng Lie, step back." Fortunately, Chen Guan's voice finally came at this moment.

Ji Fenglie immediately retreated quickly, not worried about Qi Tianxin's counterattack. If he did, the Great Demon would take action.

However, even after Ji Fenglie retreated behind Chen Guan, he did not see Qi Tianxin make a move.

After Ji Fenglie regained his footing, Qi Tianxin said calmly, "I can save your life, and naturally I can take yours as well. If I want you to live, no one can kill you; if I want you to die, no one can save your life."

As soon as Qi Tianxin finished speaking, Ji Fenglie was about to say something with a cold smile when he opened his mouth, only to spit out a mouthful of blood, his eyes wide open, and he fell backward.

"What a brilliant Judge Qi! He's truly ruthless!" Qin Qiu thought to himself.

It was obvious that Qi Tianxin had already tampered with Ji Fenglie's body and held his life in her hands.

But he remained silent and did not resort to such methods, even after he knew his wife had been kidnapped.

Even now, he still hasn't used it.

It wasn't until Ji Fenglie returned to the Great Demon Lord's side and believed that with the Great Demon Lord's protection, everything was safe, that he finally made his move and killed him.

This not only killed Ji Fenglie, but also directly struck at the Great Demon Lord. Even if it couldn't disturb the Great Demon Lord's mind, it could still make him wary.

Chen Guan glanced at Ji Fenglie, who was spitting blood and falling backward, then casually grabbed him and pulled him back to the ground. He placed one hand on Ji Fenglie's head and poured his vital energy directly into him.

In an instant, Ji Fenglie, who had been on the verge of death, miraculously recovered. He stopped spitting out blood, and his eyes regained their light, though his face was still pale.

"I see. Well done, Qi Tianxin. He thought one step ahead of me," Qin Qiu exclaimed in admiration.

"What do you mean?" Shang Wanyin didn't understand for a moment. "The secret technique that the great demon used to save Ji Fenglie was the Soul-Chasing Life-Stealing Hand," Qin Qiu simply said.

After listening, Shang Wanyin pondered for a moment before understanding. He widened his eyes in surprise and said, "The Soul-Chasing Life-Stealing Hand is a secret technique that requires the cultivation of both life and spirit. It can only be used when one's essence, energy, and spirit are united. In other words, the clone cannot use the Soul-Chasing Life-Stealing Hand. Is this person the true form of the Great Demon?"

At this moment, Shang Wanyin finally understood everything and exclaimed in horror, "So Qi Tianxin didn't want to kill Ji Fenglie, nor did he want to strike at the Great Demon, nor did he want to show off. Instead, he wanted to force the Great Demon to use the Soul-Chasing Life-Taking Hand to prove his identity as the Great Demon and confirm that he came here in his true form."

“That’s right. Only if the great demon’s true form is here can we possibly make a move, and only then can he possibly survive,” Qin Qiu said.

"This Qi Tianxin is truly cunning and has a long-standing scheme." Shang Wanyin realized that his previous impression of Qi Tianxin was probably not so accurate.

“However, merely proving that the Great Demon Lord’s true form is here is not enough,” Qin Qiu said.

Shang Wanyin nodded and said, "The risk of besieging and killing the Great Demon is too great. If he escapes again, the ten great families cannot afford such consequences. Without thorough preparation, our Shang family would never take action."

Qi Tianxin wasn't particularly disappointed that the ten major families didn't make a move.

His accurate backup plan wasn't limited to just this one, and he never placed all his hopes on the ten major families.

"As expected of a great demon." Qi Tianxin looked at Chen Guan and said calmly.

Chen Guan gestured for Ji Fenglie to step back, then carefully examined Qi Tianxin.

Having witnessed the battle between Qi Tianxin and Xiu Jieming, one might subconsciously think that Qi Tianxin is nothing special.

But thinking about it, it was because Xiu Jieming was physically invincible that Qi Tianxin had no way to kill him.

If it were anyone else, Qi Tianxin's numerous methods would make killing someone, even a ninth-level expert, incredibly easy.

If Chen Guan hadn't already learned several of the more important compound techniques from the recipes Chen Xinghe had given him, it would have been difficult to save Ji Fenglie's life.

The Soul-Chasing Deadly Hand is one of them. The name sounds very ferocious, but it is actually a secret technique for saving lives and is not mainly used for fighting enemies.

Chen Guan looked at Qi Tianxin but didn't say anything. He had no desire to say anything more to Qi Tianxin, because in his eyes, Qi Tianxin was already a dead person.

There's no need to have any further entanglement with a dead person; saying even a single extra word is a waste.

Chen Guan reached out and patted the golden monkey's head. After this period of communication, even without the aid of the secret law of telepathy, they could understand each other's meaning.

After being patted by Chen Guan, the golden monkey immediately opened its eyes and looked at Qi Tianxin.

Despite Qi Tianxin's prior preparation, she was still unable to dodge the golden lightning that flashed in the golden monkey's eyes, and her body was directly pierced by the golden lightning.

Qi Tianxin looked down at the charred hole in his chest, his face filled with horror. He had already learned about the golden monkey and knew that the powerful figures of the ten major families had been captured because they were controlled by this golden monkey.

He had made ample preparations, wearing an anti-electric soft armor and several top-tier treasures that could resist the power of lightning.

Adding to his own abilities and speed, despite all his calculations, he still didn't expect that the lightning in the golden monkey's eyes would directly pierce his body, leaving him no time to dodge.

Even the secret laws of the Thunder Treasure could not withstand this lightning, and the Electro-Insulated Armor was directly pierced through.
