Chapter 969: Breaking the Stalemate with Useless Moves

"Forget it, if it’s useless, I’ll skin him alive, not even Mi Xiang can save him." Long Yue thought fiercely, but his body followed Chen Guan’s instructions and executed the second move.This second move was almost on par with the first, equally plain to the point of astonishment, without any distinguishing features.

Yet, under Long Yue’s immense power, this move was transformed from decay into magic, unleashing unbelievable might.

However, such power was not enough to shake Ji Changsheng, having no effect at all.

Chen Guan continuously transmitted his voice, and Long Yue kept attacking Ji Changsheng with various techniques as Chen Guan instructed.

These techniques seemed utterly useless, even Mi Xiang was full of confusion, not understanding why Long Yue used such techniques, which were not at her level.

"Could it be that within these seemingly mundane techniques, there lies some profound mystery that even I can’t see?" Mi Xiang looked carefully, but it honestly seemed to have no effect at all.

Chen Guan, however, was full of confidence, continuously transmitting to Long Yue, not only explaining how to use these techniques but also reassuring her: "Did you see it? His gaze has changed... did you notice... he’s starting to panic..."

Long Yue really couldn’t see where Ji Changsheng showed any panic. But at this point, she could only grit her teeth and press on.

"If it’s useless... you’re dead... I won’t let you off easily..." Long Yue transmitted fiercely to Chen Guan while using his techniques.

But Chen Guan was indifferent, for he knew his techniques were indeed effective.

Because the techniques he instructed Long Yue to use were precisely the Innate Eight Techniques created by Ji Changsheng, the latest version he modified shortly before entering the Celestial Secret Realm.

Such Innate Eight Techniques, before Chen Guan taught Ji Liuying, were only known to Ji Changsheng and Chen Guan in the world.

Ji Changsheng didn’t know that Ji Liuying had inherited them. When he saw the Innate Eight Techniques, he immediately realized something, hence the subtle change in his gaze at the beginning.

But that subtle change was only in that instant, with no further change thereafter.

Yet, Chen Guan, who kept watching Ji Changsheng closely, noticed Ji Changsheng’s subtle change in that instant, knowing he was still Ji Changsheng, at least his soul hadn’t altered.

Chen Guan didn’t intend to use this relationship to make Ji Changsheng hold back; he merely wanted to tell Ji Changsheng that he was here.

As for how to help Long Yue pass, Chen Guan had other plans.

If there’s anyone in the world most familiar with Ji Changsheng’s abilities, it would be none other than Chen Guan.

Chen Guan studied the Secret Techniques and various Secret Skills given by Ji Changsheng, deeply understanding Ji Changsheng’s learnings.

Additionally, Chen Guan had researched the battle when Ji Changsheng slew the Celestial Eye Evil God. Therefore, Chen Guan could affirm that Ji Changsheng’s bizarre abilities had a major flaw.

"Ji Changsheng’s ability seems invincible, but in reality, it’s similar to my Empty Leaf; it’s an ability that depends on fate." Chen Guan checked the time, knowing it was almost due.

Chen Guan assessed that Ji Changsheng’s ability essentially conformed with world rules. Hence, battling Ji Changsheng was akin to battling world rules. No matter how strong you are, you cannot possess the power to destroy this world. Naturally, you cannot break Ji Changsheng’s ability.

If it can’t be broken, then why attempt to break it?

Ji Changsheng is not the Creator God, and he didn’t write the world rules either; he merely followed the world rules accordingly.

Therefore, Chen Guan’s strategy was simple: to stall for time.

Since Ji Changsheng said today wasn’t suitable for travel, he’d drag the time to tomorrow; surely, tomorrow wouldn’t also be unsuitable for travel?

Chen Guan didn’t believe Ji Changsheng could alter destiny; therefore, when tomorrow arrived, Ji Changsheng’s ability should become ineffective.

In a battle with Ji Changsheng, you must pick a good day. If the day isn’t right, even the gods would have to kneel.

Of course, these are all Chen Guan’s assumptions. After all, the one fighting is Long Yue; what does it matter if he’s wrong? It’s not like he’d lose a piece of flesh.

Chen Guan calculated time based on Divine Land’s time, while the Celestial Secret Realm had no uniform time unit. In fact, time is nonexistent for Sky Secret Spirits.

Sky Secret Spirits are closer to the essence of matter, able to understand the operational laws and changes of matter at deeper levels. To them, time isn’t a single measurement unit.

Chen Guan had Long Yue use techniques continuously, for the Innate Eight Techniques required special Secret Skills as support. Hence, when used by Long Yue, they didn’t have the true effect of the Innate Eight Techniques.

However, the variations of those techniques could still be exhibited to the fullest.

Long Yue quickly realized that the Secret Skills Chen Guan instructed her to use were merely eight moves.

It was simply because these eight moves were used in combinations, making them appear to have many variations.

Long Yue doubted whether Mi Xiang’s pretty boy was playing her to avenge being held hostage.

No matter how much Chen Guan reassured, Long Yue was almost at her limit.

"Are you playing me?" Long Yue angrily transmitted her question.

"Ten... nine... eight... keep going..." Chen Guan ignored her, no longer offering comfort, just standing there silently counting down in transmission.

"What do you mean?" Long Yue was bewildered by Chen Guan.

"Seven... six... five... keep going..." Chen Guan ignored her, still counting down in transmission, urging coldly.

"Does he mean that once the countdown finishes, he can break the person’s ability?" Long Yue guessed Chen Guan’s intention. Though it seemed possible, she wasn’t so impatient that she couldn’t wait a little longer.

She forcibly restrained her urge to turn back and give Chen Guan a thrashing, continuing to use the techniques Chen Guan mentioned.

This time, without Chen Guan’s word, she could easily and freely wield the Innate Eight Techniques in combinations.

At her level, accomplishing this was a simple task.

"Four... three... two... one..." Long Yue, listening to Chen Guan’s countdown, couldn’t help but tense with anticipation, wondering if something would truly happen when he called out zero.

"Zero point five..." Unexpectedly, Chen Guan called out a phrase like this next.

Long Yue felt as if she had twisted her waist, mentally cursing Chen Guan, but just as she wanted to withdraw power and teach Chen Guan a lesson, she heard him call out "zero."

This time, there was no decimal point after zero. The power Long Yue subconsciously released didn’t even use a No-Leak, yet it penetrated the distance between her and Ji Changsheng. Before the palm power even reached Ji Changsheng, it had already caused his simple attire to flutter like ribbons in the wind, closely adhering to him.

"It really broke through!" Long Yue’s eyes were full of joy and disbelief.

Mi Xiang was also utterly astonished, seeing Long Yue behaving like a lunatic with those seemingly useless moves, yet these moves unexpectedly worked wonders, which was incredible.
