Chapter 881: Chapter 881: Decisive Kill
This thread of blood is neither a Secret Skill nor some special Secret Technique, but rather Jiang Qiemo’s Absolute Secret State "One Thought Ghost God."
Among all the Absolute Secret States that Chen Guan currently possesses, if you were to ask which one Chen Guan is most reluctant to use, "One Thought Ghost God" is definitely a strong contender.
The "One Thought Ghost God" can directly enhance the user’s combat power, and it enhances it in all aspects.
Whether it’s physical fitness, the strength of the Primordial Energy, or various Secret Skills and abilities, as long as it’s your own capability, even spiritual power can be enhanced.
"One Thought Ghost God" is arguably the most direct and comprehensive of all the Absolute Secret States.
Utilizing "One Thought Ghost God" instantly boosts combat power in all respects, doubling is exceedingly simple for "One Thought Ghost God".
However, "One Thought Ghost God" has a serious drawback — one thought for ghost, one thought for god, and this thought lies between victory and defeat.
Once "One Thought Ghost God" is activated, the battle becomes a life or death struggle, victory makes one a god, defeat makes one a ghost, leaving no room for retreat.
If victory is assured, it might be well; if not, even if one survives, one’s own Dao Heart will be damaged.
Chen Guan did not expect Jiang Qiemo to utilize the One Thought Ghost God state during their confrontation.
His solemn expression was precisely because Jiang Qiemo activated this, and if things go wrong, it could lead to big problems.
With "One Thought Ghost God" activated, Jiang Qiemo’s eyes’ whites were dyed with blood, presenting a somewhat terrifying appearance.
However, he did not seem as urgent as in the past after activating "One Thought Ghost God," quietly standing there, looking at Chen Guan and saying, "You know this too, let’s go together."
"I haven’t used it for a long time, better not." Chen Guan directly declined Jiang Qiemo’s invitation.
By not using "One Thought Ghost God," he could step back to fulfill Jiang Qiemo, avoiding the necessity for a decisive victory or defeat.
If he too used the "One Thought Ghost God," it would inevitably result in mutual damage.
Jiang Qiemo heard this and said nothing more, holding the Blinking Sword with one hand, he swung it again.
Many in the world excel in fast swords, but those capable of such speed as the Blinking Sword are few.
Rather than saying his sword is fast, it’s more accurate to say the Blinking Sword itself is a rule-based ability.
If you can’t break the rules of the Blinking Sword, you can’t evade its swift attack.
Clang!
The Blinking Sword struck Chen Guan’s chest once more. This time, though Chen Guan’s chest wasn’t cut open, a blood mark appeared on his skin, as if left by a whip.
"One Thought Ghost God" enhanced Pure White Sword caused such an injury on Chen Guan, but it hasn’t reached the point of truly breaking his defense.
Jiang Qiemo didn’t seem surprised or shocked, but the blood color on his body suddenly expanded and began to burn.
The Qing Bai Sword Aura turned blood red, his body was also dyed in blood, and his entire eyes turned blood red.
Chen Guan heard the Spirit of the Cheerleaders’ record of the second phase upgrade of "One Thought Ghost God" and wasn’t surprised.
Given Jiang Qiemo’s talent and intelligence, after all these years, it would be strange if he hadn’t comprehended the second phase.
Looking at Jiang Qiemo, whose very Secret Realm halo had turned blood red, Chen Guan couldn’t quite discern his figure anymore.
The Jiang Qiemo before him now seemed like a nameless Blood Shadow, ghostly like a god, puzzling to gauge.
"You should have comprehended the second phase of ’One Thought Ghost God,’ right?" Blood Shadow-like Jiang Qiemo looked at Chen Guan and said.
"I said, I haven’t used this ability in a long time; it’s too dangerous for me." Chen Guan replied.
Jiang Qiemo responded indifferently, "That’s a pity, you should try it, it certainly won’t disappoint you. The second phase of ’One Thought Ghost God’ not only enhances all aspects significantly once again but also bestows the characteristic of a killing decision."
"What is the killing decision characteristic?" Chen Guan didn’t check the records, directly asking.
"I named it the killing decision characteristic. In fact, it’s a natural ability that ’One Thought Ghost God’ carries. After activating the second phase, only the opponent I acknowledge can harm me. Other people or any beings, or any power, will lose effect on me until I defeat my recognized opponent." Jiang Qiemo explained.
"Isn’t this a forced duel?" Chen Guan was somewhat surprised, having not expected ’One Thought Ghost God’ second phase to have such a benefit.
With such a capability, seizing the enemy’s leader amidst thousands is indeed not a difficult task.
Of course, the premise is that you have to be able to defeat the opposing commander.
The numerous high-level members of the Jiang Family, hearing this, were both shocked and delighted.
They all knew Jiang Qiemo wouldn’t lie; since he said this capability exists, it truly does.
A Jiang Qiemo with such a capability, even if he does not reach the level of a Celestial King in the future, can be used as a weapon not inferior to a Celestial King.
Jiang Qiemo intending to kill, even if the opponent hides within the Ten Great Families with numerous masters guarding, would still find it hard to escape death.
With such a capability, the Ten Great Families would need to ponder carefully whether they could afford to provoke such an individual.
Even if a Celestial King arrived, as long as Jiang Qiemo opted to provoke another person, the Celestial King would be helpless against him.
Whether this capability is effective on Celestial Kings remains unknown for now.
Regardless, the ability Jiang Qiemo exhibited now is an existence that exceeds imagination.
"Such a capability doesn’t significantly impact the outcome between our battle," Chen Guan contemplated aloud.
"Indeed, the killing decision doesn’t impact one-on-one duels much, but even without this trait, the enhancement in the second phase is more than sufficient." Jiang Qiemo said, once more swinging the Blinking Sword.
Clang!
Once again, Chen Guan was inexplicably struck by the sword.
The Jiang family believed that Chen Guan must inevitably be truly injured this time.
However, that was not the case. With Jiang Qiemo unlocking the second phase of "One Thought Ghost God," further enhancing all aspects, this strike instead left no mark on Chen Guan, not even a trace of the previous red mark.
Chen Guan activated the Secret Technique of One to bolster the Unmoving Ming King Skill, doubling his defensive power, enhancing his physical strength to the next level, withstanding the second phase power of "One Thought Ghost God" and Jiang Qiemo’s Blinking Sword combined full-strength strike.
The senior members of the Jiang family exchanged perplexed glances, realizing that even such a formidable Jiang Qiemo couldn’t injure Chen Guan, whose body protection divine skill is truly unimaginable.
"A person like Chen Guan, even if he finds it difficult to reach the Celestial King status in the future, will undoubtedly be a powerhouse to be remembered in an era. We might genuinely need to consider carefully whether, for the sake of a Gailan Laboratory, we need to stand against him," said Jiang Beifeng.
"Beifeng, you’re overthinking. Even if we support Qi Tianxin, it’s just a stance on one matter and doesn’t mean we’ll align with Qi Tianxin in the future, nor that we’ll oppose Chen Guan. We can still cooperate with Chen Guan on many things going forward," said Jiang Hanyue.
"But you should understand, Chen Guan’s conflict with Qi Tianxin, helping his enemy, equals standing against him," Jiang Beifeng said seriously. "Letting go of such a genius for an uncertain Gailan Laboratory, forming this grudge, is it truly worthwhile? Besides, Chen Guan already has good relations with the younger generation of our family."
For a moment, the members of the Jiang family fell silent, each contemplating the pros and cons.
