Should we fight head-on or gamble on the opponent's weakness?
Chen Qing couldn't explain it clearly. He had encountered crises before coming to this world, but this was the first time he had made such a choice.
If one of the Xiao Household were present, they would probably choose to fight without hesitation, right?
In that emperor's mind, there was no way he would put his fate in the hands of others, even if the choice had a higher probability of success. But Chen Qing did not have this kind of imperial mindset.
Chen Qing would also consider whether it was a deliberate scheme by the other party.
Ultimately, he didn't possess any so-called imperial aura.
Chen Qing smiled wryly, but without shame. People have different personalities, and their choices in times of crisis will naturally differ. He was a suspicious person, so he naturally didn't believe that the King of Qin was a pure person. In this life-or-death struggle, would the other party openly and honestly test his endurance without any scheming?
He didn't believe it.
He couldn't believe the other person was that kind of person!
That guy was scheming against me. He believed I could use the Heavenly Demon Wheel to withstand the attack, which would actually help him eliminate the side effects of the forbidden technique Thousand Illusions. Once I was exhausted, as long as he judged accurately and didn't add any more mirrors just as I was consuming a large amount of his mirrors, then the side effects would be almost zero.
At that time, he had already turned into a black hole due to the side effects. He even had the chance to capture Ziyue and gather the power of the three great golems. His potential was terrifying. Given a little time, even the Four Great Guilds would have to give way to him.
After much deliberation, Chen Qing's pupils suddenly dilated, and he turned the power of the Heavenly Demon Wheel up to its maximum almost recklessly!
"You!" King of Qin was startled. He had been inside Chen Qing's body for decades and knew this kid well. He was a shrewd and principled individual who prioritized self-preservation above all else.
This can be seen from the fact that when his friend Cui Yan died, his first thought was to get away from that matter. This guy is definitely not a strong-willed person, nor will he have the same spirit as the Xiao Household emperor!
But why?
Before they could even react, the terrifying suction of the Heavenly Demon Wheel distorted and deformed thousands of Prism, instantly turning them into chaotic energy that was drawn into Chen Qing's black hole-like pupils!
Without time to think, the King of Qin could only quickly form hand seals, causing the surrounding Prism to fold rapidly. But even with his quick reflexes, he was still a step too slow.
Both techniques are among the eight forbidden techniques in the hands of the Four Perils Golem, belonging to the most taboo level. Faced with such extremely dangerous techniques, if one hesitates even slightly, how can there be any chance left?
Sure enough, the King of Qin felt a tremendous suction force the next moment!
The Thousand Illusions Technique, with its spatial folding, would make him almost immune to external harm. But now that the suction force had arrived, there was only one possibility: all the Prism had shattered, completely unable to keep up with Chen Qing's speed of destruction. The King of Qin knew that he had guessed wrong at this very moment, and he had lost again!
But he couldn't understand why Chen Qing would make a decision that was contrary to his personality.
From his perspective, Chen Qing's eyes grew larger and larger, until they obscured the stars and covered the entire visible world. He couldn't help but shout, "Why?"
"Because you know me well enough." Chen Qing's soft voice quickly reached his mind.
"I certainly don't have the unwavering determination of King, and I am indeed a suspicious person, but just before I made up my mind, I suddenly remembered something: you've lived inside me for twenty years!"
"For twenty years, you've watched my growth in the 1920s from an outsider's perspective. I'm afraid you often understand me better than I do myself. Under these circumstances, you probably couldn't have predicted what decisions I would make?"
"That's why I realized that to beat you, I had to make a decision that was completely different from what I usually do. I had to make the opposite choice, something unexpected!"
"Looks like I made the right bet!"
The King of Qin was taken aback; he had never anticipated this. Meanwhile, Ziyue, who was watching from afar, felt a sense of relief and a smile appeared on her lips.
Chen Qing was an arrogant person, and also someone who didn't like to affirm himself. He himself didn't expect that from the moment he dared to resolutely believe in his own judgment and amplify the spell, he was already no less than that person from the Xiao Household.
"This time, it can finally be put to rest, and I can finally sleep peacefully." Chen Qing smiled happily. After the incident at Data City, he had breathed a sigh of relief, but Ziyue's words made his heart sink again.
This time, he finally has no chance to escape, right?
In Chen Qing's mind, this guy was far more dangerous than the Four Great Guilds or the Xiao Household Emperor!
"That's not necessarily true!" Seeing that he was about to be sucked into Chen Qing's spell, a ruthless glint appeared on the King of Qin's pale face. "Aren't you going to make a move?"
Chen Qing was taken aback. At this point, who else could step in?
With a boom, an incomparably domineering power was born out of thin air, emanating from the Prism with abundant vital energy and perfect power.
The energy of that moment was insignificant compared to the surrounding elements, but the power of that moment was incredibly strange, hitting a crucial point exactly, causing the surrounding elements that had been absorbed to collapse instantly!
In an instant, spiderweb-like cracks appeared in the blackness of Chen Qing's pupils!
The forbidden technique has been broken?
Chen Qing felt a chill run down his spine, but instantly guessed who it was.
With such power and skill, who else could it be but the captain of the guards who possesses the body of Blood Ancestor?
In the fourth version, the profession derived from the Blood Ancestor's legacy is the Monk, a profession I determined after watching Shaolin Temple performance of One-Finger Zen.
The Shaolin monk could shatter a stone tablet with a single blow using his incredibly fragile fingers. However, anyone with basic knowledge of human anatomy knows that human fingers are made of carbonaceous calcium and are extremely fragile, completely disproportionate to the mass of the stone tablet. The Shaolin monk couldn't explain it clearly either, only saying that it was a kind of blood-pointing power, which could destroy something that seemed to be far heavier than himself by finding precise acupoints.
This explanation adds a layer of mystery to martial arts in Central China. In the game version at that time, there were no warriors. The main profession for players to fight against demons was the sorcerer. Chen Qing had always wanted to create a melee profession. However, human blood and qi are insignificant compared to the power of heaven and earth. In order to be able to compete with sorcerers, Chen Qing planned to use this concept of "blood points".
Monks can exploit weaknesses in all things to gain an advantage, making them more agile and powerful. In contrast, powerful sorcerers can be countered by exploiting so-called acupoints or weak points.
This lineage originates from the Blood Ancestor.
Compared to martial arts classes that rely on demonic power to strengthen themselves, this unique method of acupoint striking and qi/blood cultivation is more suitable for human players.
I had only vaguely formed this theory in my mind at the time, and I hadn't told anyone. I had almost forgotten about it myself. I never expected that the captain of the guard would actually possess this kind of inheritance!
What surprised Chen Qing the most was that the head guard had actually chosen to cooperate with the King of Qin?
Just moments ago, the other party was planning to seize his Blood Ancestor's body, and now they're cooperating? Isn't it a bit too quick to put aside past grievances?
But no matter what the other party's considerations were, the result was the same in the end. The powerful technique was shattered under that simple punch, and Chen Qing's pupils also shattered like his own spirit.
" Chen Qing!!"
Ziyue's pupils dilated, and she became extremely anxious. She had just received information about the Heavenly Demon Wheel technique. Just how vast was the amount of elements Chen Qing had absorbed? If the technique were destroyed, the resulting energy could probably blast Jiangnan to smithereens!
He himself might be able to survive inside the Time Stop Magic Formation, but Chen Qing, as the core of the spell, would inevitably be reduced to ashes!
