509: Constant Qi can solve it

Both of them employed a head-on, brute-force fighting style in their battle.

Chen De's attacks could injure Chang Qi, but Chang Qi's attacks couldn't hurt Chen De.

It wasn't that he couldn't hit him; it was just that he simply couldn't inflict any damage.

On the surface, however, Chen De still put on a facade of being injured.

He didn't mean anything by it; Chen De was just too 'hospitable' and feared the other man might run away.

But as the fight progressed, Chang Qi gradually began to realize that he seemed to be sinking deeper and deeper into a trap.

However, he possessed the skill of Arithmetic, and his combat experience was far richer than Chen De's.

He had relatively perfect counters for all of Chen De's moves.

In contrast, Chen De could only rely on raw power to create miracles.

Ultimately, the scales of victory inevitably tilted toward Chen De.

For no matter how many times it was tested, it was proven that no amount of technique could match absolute strength.

Yet, despite sinking deeper, Chang Qi wasn't worried at all because he had already used Arithmetic to calculate several escape routes.

Some were feasible, some were not, and some were so ridiculous they were laughable.

For instance, one suggested he kneel on the spot and kowtow millions of times, which had a certain probability of the opponent letting him go.

There was another even more absurd and preposterous than the kowtowing one.

It suggested he should kneel down right then and there and loudly praise the opponent.

Then, by shouting a series of nauseating phrases like 'You are the greatest, most moral, kindest, most perfect...' the matter might just blow over.

Moreover, the success rate was even higher than the kowtowing option; it was among the highest of all the escape routes.

Calculating such things made Chang Qi momentarily doubt his own Arithmetic.

Not only that, he discovered that the vast majority of high-success-rate results he calculated were equally unreliable.

Kneeling, kowtowing, begging for mercy, licking shoes, praising, donating... This discovery immediately made Chang Qi realize that Chen De must have some means of interfering with his Arithmetic.

But this tactic was practically an insult, mixing in a bunch of stuff that was obviously fake.

Only the donation seemed slightly more realistic, but its success rate wasn't high.

Compared to the other plans, it was at a very low level.

What did he take Chang Qi for?

An idiot?

Even an idiot wouldn't believe this kind of stuff.

Thus, Chang Qi unhesitatingly discarded all the unreliable plans.

Keeping them there was just a waste of space.

He already knew Chen De was using them intentionally to influence him.

He then performed calculations on the remaining plans; their success rates were much lower, but they at least seemed plausible.

Because of Chen De's interference, the simple success rates displayed were no longer accurate.

Yet Chang Qi still chose to calculate them and picked the one he deemed most feasible.

Self-detonation!

Yes, Chang Qi chose to self-detonate right from the start, and he did so without hesitation.

Sure enough, as soon as he began to self-detonate, the attacks from Chen De on the opposite side immediately changed.

Although he didn't know what the opponent's intentions were, he had calculated that the opponent didn't seem to want him to self-detonate.

Chang Qi then intentionally revealed a flaw, but it wasn't obvious; it could even be described as extremely subtle.

He knew that while the opponent's fighting style appeared reckless and crude, he was actually meticulous.

Although he was injured, so far he had only sustained minor wounds, the kind that were inconsequential.

In other words, Chen De might have flaws, but they would only be small ones.

If there were a major flaw, it would definitely be a trap to scheme against him.

Therefore, making the opponent reveal a flaw was almost impossible for Chang Qi.

Thus, he had to be the one to reveal a flaw himself.

But making Chen De believe it wouldn't be easy, so Chang Qi first adopted a self-detonation stance.

Knowing the opponent didn't want him to self-detonate, this would inevitably disturb his state of mind to some extent.

Combined with being in a state of self-detonation, it was only natural to reveal a few flaws under such conditions.

With these factors combined, Chen De indeed acted according to Chang Qi's plan.

During the fight, seeing Chang Qi self-detonate, Chen De immediately panicked.

It wasn't that he was afraid of being blown up; the tenacious vitality of the Evil God Essence wouldn't allow that—he wouldn't die even if Chang Qi self-detonated while hugging him.

Rather, he was afraid Chang Qi would blow himself into nothingness; that was such a huge clump of Attribute Points.

Just as he moved to intervene, he suddenly caught a subtle glimpse of a flaw revealed by Chang Qi.

Considering the other party had already chosen to self-detonate, it was normal for some flaws to appear.

After all, when someone is about to die, would they care if they die by self-detonation or if they are beaten to death before they can self-detonate?

Furthermore, Chen De had very little time to think and quickly made a decision.

Just as Chang Qi had anticipated, Chen De attacked through the flaw he had revealed.

At that moment, the corners of Chang Qi's mouth curled up, and a strange smile suddenly appeared.

At the same time Chen De attacked his flaw, he also unleashed the preparation he had been brewing for a long time.

An extremely violent attack, with a terrifying power that could even be called the Immortal Law Realm Second Transformation, landed squarely on Chen De.

With just one strike, Chen De was forcefully split in half.

And these two halves began to rapidly dissolve and disintegrate at the point where they were split.

Seeing this, Chang Qi smiled.

This was a technique he had obtained during his early years of wandering in the Outer Realm.

It wasn't a simple attack, but one that could store and accumulate his attacks over time.

Then, in a single battle, they could all be released at once, with an upper limit of the peak of the Immortal Law Realm Second Transformation.

The downside was that it was too clumsy; even someone at just the Immortal Law Realm First Transformation could dodge it if they reacted in time.

When used in a battle of the Immortal Law Realm Second Transformation, it was almost as useless as chicken ribs.

Thus, the possibility of this move succeeding was actually very, very low.

Yet, unexpectedly, the effect was surprisingly good—a single shot to the soul.

But thinking of this, Chang Qi, who had studied Arithmetic, suddenly had a change of expression... As that terrifying attack descended upon him, a half-smiling expression also appeared on Chen De's face.

To be honest, he had also been waiting for such a good offensive opportunity for a long time.

Chang Qi's trap was real, but the flaw used to lure Chen De was also real.

After all, without using a real flaw, how could he possibly deceive him?

Thus, Chen De did as he wished and stepped into his trap, but Chen De also took advantage of the flaw.

Chen De had likewise prepared his own means, which surged into Chang Qi's body at incredible speed.

Almost instantly, Chang Qi was enveloped by a large amount of an unknown black liquid.

This black liquid frantically seeped into every orifice of his body, even including his pores.

Why do experts not easily reveal flaws when they clash? Because even an incredibly tiny flaw can be fatal.

Actually, there was nothing wrong with Chang Qi's plan; a normal Immortal Law Realm Second Transformation or First Transformation wouldn't be able to withstand this move.

Even if they survived after being hit, they could no longer be his opponent.

So as long as it hit, it was victory.

It was just a pity that this time he had encountered the wrong person, because Chen De would not be injured.
