"Xiu Jie Ming has already used the Returning to the True Third Stage, it seems the outcome will be decided soon," Chen Guan thought to himself.

Qi Tianxin’s aura bloomed brightly, continuously deploying several Secret Treasures, with various powers surging towards Xiu Jie Ming like a torrent.

Xiu Jie Ming, however, smashed through myriad techniques with sheer force; no matter what methods and powers Qi Tianxin used, they couldn’t breach Xiu Jie Ming’s physique.

"Oh!" Chen Guan noticed that Xiu Jie Ming wasn’t simply using the Returning to the True Third Stage.

On Xiu Jie Ming’s body, there were actually lines of secret inscriptions, tattoo-like, embedded deep within his flesh.

Each secret inscription emitted a peculiar fluctuation, or rather, a fluctuation of laws.

The reason Qi Tianxin couldn’t kill Xiu Jie Ming wasn’t only because his body was extraordinarily strong, but also because of the presence of these secret inscriptions, rendering many of his abilities ineffective.

The power of these inscriptions should be the power of the Secret Law, yet Chen Guan couldn’t comprehend how Xiu Jie Ming managed to inscribe these Secret Laws on his body and make them function.

Chen Guan was captivated by this battle, watching intently as the two fought.

The others were the same, even the high echelons of the Ten Great Families were greatly astonished.

Because the combat prowess displayed by Qi Tianxin and Xiu Jie Ming had reached a level that even the top experts of the Ten Great Families were shocked by.

If not for the top experts of the Ten Great Families using layers of Secret Laws for protection, the fighting ring’s shield would have long been shattered by the two.

With his body fully inscribed with secret markings, Xiu Jie Ming’s invincible physique made it difficult for him to be harmed, yet he also couldn’t wound Qi Tianxin.

Qi Tianxin manifesting into thousands of forms made it impossible for Xiu Jie Ming’s attacks to touch Qi Tianxin’s true body, leaving him uncertain of where it truly was.

This battle raged on relentlessly for two days and two nights without a conclusion.

Both had their own invincible aspects, neither able to gain the upper hand over the other.

It now depended on whose endurance lasted longer, who could withstand the consumption first.

"I thought Chief Judge Qi would just be a politician with not much in terms of combat abilities and will, not comparable to my brother, but I never expected him to be this formidable," Xiu Yingmei’s palms were sweaty with anxiety, worried that Xiu Jie Ming might falter first.

After two straight days and nights, Qi Tianxin’s Primordial Energy remained abundant, his aura resembling a Little Universe, with countless celestial bodies forming a Secret Realm aura, pumping out an immense amount of Primordial Energy, seemingly inexhaustible.

Having revised the Secret Law, Chen Guan pondered, "Qi Tianxin’s Secret Realm aura has a very strong Primordial Energy output, and without forcing him to use abilities with a massive consumption of Primordial Energy, it’s almost endless. Yet, the initiative in the fight still lies with him, your brother is indeed a bit passive."

"Luckily, your brother’s physique is invincible, requiring no Primordial Energy consumption; it’s still uncertain who will emerge victorious." Chen Guan shifted the topic, telepathically asking, "What about those secret inscriptions on him?"

Xiu Yingmei replied telepathically, "Those are my brother’s self-created Secret God battle markings, condensing the Secret God’s laws upon the flesh and bones, able to autonomously operate during battles, shielding against the invasion of other Secret Laws."

"That could be a problem," Chen Guan said.

"What do you mean?" Xiu Yingmei quickly asked.

"Though I don’t know the specific tactics and methods your brother is using, it’s certain that these borrowed external force inscriptions need to be pre-loaded with energy; their duration is limited. If these inscriptions lose their effectiveness, relying solely on his physique might not withstand Qi Tianxin’s tactics." Chen Guan observed Qi Tianxin in the air and said: "You can tell from Qi Tianxin’s battle strategy, he’s already seen through this. He appears to be on the offensive, yet very restrained, waiting for the energy of those inscriptions to run out."

"What can be done?" Xiu Yingmei was anxious, having no solution.

"Don’t worry too much, your brother is no ordinary person, perhaps he already has a plan," Chen Guan consoled Xiu Yingmei with a few words.

At this time, the faction from the Xiu Family looked quite solemn.

Most, like Chen Guan, had discerned the issue.

Maybe at the start, no one noticed, but over time, more people saw that Qi Tianxin had been strategizing from the beginning, aiming to deplete the energy of Xiu Jie Ming’s inscriptions, without actually engaging in a life-and-death battle with him.

"Old ginger is still spicier, Xiu Jie Ming’s strength is no less than Qi Tianxin, but in terms of foundation, experience, and such, he’s a bit inferior. From the beginning, he fell into Qi Tianxin’s scheme," Qin Qiu sighed. "If I were in Xiu Jie Ming’s place, I’d lose this battle too. This Chief Judge Qi is indeed remarkable."

"We’ve come this far, losing now..." Chu Jianfeng didn’t finish, but everyone understood his meaning.

No one wants to lose, but now anyone can see, reversing the situation for Xiu Jie Ming is truly difficult.

"Qi Tianxin’s strength is immeasurable, with means god and ghost wouldn’t perceive, defeating him isn’t easy. The current fighting ring already indirectly restricts Qi Tianxin; yet Xiu Jie Ming still struggles to prevail—miss this chance, and out there, facing Qi Tianxin, defeating or killing him becomes even harder..." Naturally, Chen Guan didn’t want Xiu Jie Ming to lose, and with this thought, he suddenly got up and walked towards Feng Wuci’s side.

Feng Wuci and the group supporting Qi Tianxin were all beaming with triumph.

Although Xiu Jie Ming’s combat power was unprecedented, he was still being toyed with by Qi Tianxin, leaving victory out of reach in this battle.

Suddenly, Feng Wuci saw Chen Guan approaching, eyes fixed on her, evidently targeting her.

"Chen Guan, what are you here for? Looking to switch sides?" Feng Wuci spoke with a sense of superiority.

"I want to place a bet with you. I wonder if Madam Qi dares to accept?" Chen Guan stated calmly.

"What bet do you want to make with me?" Feng Wuci, feeling at ease, enquired with interest.

Chen Guan pointed at Xiu Jie Ming on the stage and said indifferently, "I bet Xiu Jie Ming will win this battle, if he does, I want Madam Qi to apologize to me in front of everyone here, representing your husband, admitting it was foolish to kick me out of the Celestial Court Army, as blind as a pig..."

These words made Feng Wuci’s face darken substantially, glaring at Chen Guan with eyes full of Killing Intent.

With Chen Guan openly insulting Qi Tianxin and her, not only was it unbearable for Feng Wuci, but even those on the Xiu Family’s side were baffled, unsure why Chen Guan chose to provoke Feng Wuci at this juncture, displaying a lack of composure without any perceived benefit.

"Agreed, if Xiu Jie Ming wins, I’ll apologize to you, admitting our blindness. But if he loses, I won’t ask for an apology, I’ll take your life instead," Feng Wuci said coldly, staring at Chen Guan.

"Alright, it’s a deal. If Xiu Jie Ming loses, you can do what you want with my life," Chen Guan agreed swiftly.

This left everyone stunned; no one expected Chen Guan to truly agree.

With Xiu Jie Ming already on the losing path, Chen Guan’s actions were tantamount to seeking death.
