Chapter 935: Chapter 935: Long Li
The weapon of the Little Dragon Girl was something similar to a paperweight, roughly one foot long, with some markings on it, though the units of measure were different from a normal ruler.
Clearly visible, those centimeters seemed larger than a millimeter, but which unit they were made of was unknown.
She sliced at Chen Guan with the ruler, which flew from her hand and cleaved directly at his forehead.
Though they were separated by a great distance, as the ruler descended, the space between them seemed to disappear, and the ruler was already above Chen Guan’s head.
The golden monkey received Chen Guan’s command. Instead of attacking or attempting to shield Chen Guan, it stood by.
What Chen Guan needed now was not to kill the Secret Spirit, but rather to glean intelligence about the Sky Secret Spirit through her.
Chen Guan stretched out his arm to block, and a sound of clashing metal rang out suddenly.
The arm armor on his arm was unexpectedly shattered by the ruler, and it crashed heavily onto his flesh and bones.
Despite using the One Thought Ghost God and Unmoving Ming King Skill for body protection, the ruler’s power still caused a painful sensation in his arm, leaving a red mark on his skin.
Chen Guan was secretly amazed; even an ordinary Sky Secret Spirit seemed to possess some strength that was truly surprising.
He decisively used the Returning to the True Self Absolute Secret State, letting spiritual power gush forth inside him, strengthening his flesh.
The Spiritual Power ejected was not wasted, as Chen Guan absorbed it into the Secret Realm Orb on his wrist.
This resulted in no visible changes to Chen Guan’s outer appearance, yet beneath the armor, his body became as tight, fine, and transparent as crystal jade.
The ruler moved on its own in the air, descending again.
This time, Chen Guan clearly saw that a part of the distance between them was indeed shortened; perhaps it should be said that the distance was compressed.
Moreover, the compression was even more severe than before; with Chen Guan’s reaction speed and hand movements, he was still unable to block it.
The ruler struck heavily on Chen Guan’s head, yet under the third rank strengthening of Returning to the True Self, the ruler couldn’t even leave a red mark on his body.
Chen Guan decided to stand still, letting the ruler attack him, while he scrutinized it intently.
The ruler sped up and slowed down unpredictably, making its landing point and timing completely inscrutable, very peculiar indeed.
Chen Guan saw clearly that the markings on the ruler constantly changed; when the markings expanded, the distance between the ruler and Chen Guan lengthened, and when they shrank, the distance shortened.
"This ruler is quite something; it seems to control spatial distance?" Chen Guan stood still, allowing the ruler to attack him as he pondered.
The Little Dragon Girl watched Chen Guan stand unmovingly, enduring the repeated assaults from her Celestial Destiny Secret Treasure, the Celestial Measuring Ruler. Though his armor cracked, it left minimal marks on his body, which greatly surprised her.
Though the ability of the Celestial Measuring Ruler focused on measuring and controlling space distance, it was also a powerful weapon in itself; a typical Ten Perception Secret Spirit would suffer injuries, snap bones, or even die with force.
Chen Guan sustained so many blows yet seemed unaffected, leaving the Little Dragon Girl greatly shocked.
Seeing the Celestial Measuring Ruler unable to harm Chen Guan, the Little Dragon Girl reached out, and the ruler swiftly compressed distance and returned to her hand.
"If I have done something displeasing to you, feel free to retaliate, but could you please tell me afterward, what exactly did I do to upset you?" Chen Guan said gently, without a trace of anger.
The Little Dragon Girl was inwardly conflicted but continued attacking through gritted teeth.
Her capabilities were formidable and her methods astonishing; yet, when directed at Chen Guan, they only managed to shatter his armor without effectively harming his body.
One Thought Ghost God and the enhanced effect of Returning to the True Self, coupled with Chen Guan’s physical strength, body protection divine skill, and spiritual power intensity, made it challenging for even a powerful Ten Perception Secret Spirit to injure Chen Guan’s body.
Chen Guan endeavored to persuade the Little Dragon Girl, aiming to earn her trust and extract useful information from her.
Yet, the Little Dragon Girl seemed possessed by a ghost, unfazed by Chen Guan’s earnest demeanor as if they shared an irreconcilable enmity, determined to kill him.
Chen Guan was certain there was no animosity between himself and this Little Dragon Girl Secret Spirit; he hadn’t even met her before. Her desire to kill him must stem not from personal reasons but because he was human.
The Little Dragon Girl was shocked because she used every method and failed to harm Chen Guan’s hair, while her Primordial Energy was showing signs of depletion.
Even for a Ten Perception Secret Spirit, Primordial Energy was not inexhaustible.
With retreat on her mind, before she withdrew, she looked at Chen Guan. This glance revealed a pair of eyes as black as abyssal whirlpools.
Chen Guan had used Bu Changning’s extreme devil technique; lacking Bu Changning’s talent and ability, Chen Guan’s extreme devil state merely placed his body in a demonic mode, capable of using mind techniques.
But this was enough; the Little Dragon Girl’s spiritual consciousness, invaded by extreme devil technique, turned blank and bewildered.
"I desired to speak sincerely, yet in vain; let us proceed with a question-and-answer format," Chen Guan said mildly: "Who are you?"
"I am Celestial Dragon People; my name is Long Li." answered the Little Dragon Girl.
"What brings you here; are there other Celestial Dragon People here?" Chen Guan continued asking.
"I am here seeking my father; my father is a Celestial Dragon People residing in the Biluo Star Domain." came the immediate response from the Little Dragon Girl.
"Who is your father, and why is he here?" Chen Guan patiently inquired, suspecting that the Celestial Dragon he had killed previously might be Long Li’s father.
"My father is also a Celestial Dragon People; he came to Biluo Star Domain in search of the legendary Biluo Immortal Mountain Void Secret Realm..." replied Long Li with frankness.
Chen Guan probed with question upon question, and Long Li, whose spiritual consciousness was invaded by extreme devil technique, answered without reserve.
Soon, Chen Guan confirmed his judgment was indeed correct; the Celestial Dragon killed by the golden monkey was Long Li’s father.
Long Li was here looking for her father, as Celestial Dragon People faced a significant threat, necessitating her father’s leadership.
Unlike Earth Secret Spirit, Sky Secret Spirits collectively possessed civilized inheritance.
"Do you know what Realm 1 is?" Chen Guan asked a question he was particularly concerned with.
