Although she had never fought Xiao Ye, and Xiao Ye mostly played the role of her supporter, Qi Ling would never underestimate Xiao Ye.
As the leader of the Sleepless City, and proficient in various secret techniques left behind by the Night Dynasty, Xiao Ye can be considered the strongest assassin king in the entire Douluo Continent, with attack capabilities beyond imagination.
At the very least, Qi Ling knew that Xiao Ye possessed a secret technique of the Night Clan. After using it, alluring tattoos would appear on her body, and her overall strength would increase dramatically. Although she didn't know if there were any side effects, the power she displayed at the time was no less than the boost that Qi Ling's God-Demon Body had given her.
Xiao Ye's weapons were classic assassin weapons: two daggers! But to Qi Ling's surprise, Xiao Ye's daggers were white, almost invisible in the sunlight.
" Xiao Ye, I remember your dagger wasn't this color, was it?" Qi Ling couldn't help but say. "Could it be that your dagger changes color depending on its surroundings?"
"Hehe, that's right, Qi Ling, your observation is very sharp," Xiao Ye said. "These two daggers, named Night Owl and Night Kite, are daggers that change shape according to their surroundings."
"For an assassin, such a weapon would be perfect, but with your Fiery Eyes and Golden Pupils, Qi Ling, it probably wouldn't be of much use."
Qi Ling laughed and said, "You little rascal, don't try to fool me. These two daggers can change more than just their physical form, right? Are you trying to catch me off guard in the battle later by not telling me now?"
"Oh dear, you guessed it again. Well then," Xiao Ye said mischievously, then opened her palm, and one of the white daggers simply vanished into thin air.
"Guess what, Qi Ling, where did my dagger go?"
Qi Ling looked at Xiao Ye's vanished dagger and couldn't help but feel curious. Even if her dagger disappeared into thin air, it didn't matter, since Qi Ling also knew spatial teleportation techniques.
But what use is a dagger, no matter how sharp, once it's separated from its master? Can it possibly launch an attack on its own?
Just as Qi Ling was thinking this, suddenly, a strange tear appeared in her clothes. Without any warning or reason, her clothes had been ripped by something.
"This is..." Qi Ling exclaimed in surprise as she looked at the scratches on her clothes.
"I'm sorry, but if you want to know, you'll have to figure out the reasons yourself," Xiao Ye said with a smile. "Also, Qi Ling, don't underestimate my daggers; their attack power is beyond your imagination!"
Even without Xiao Ye's explanation, Qi Ling could sense that after Xiao Ye Ye's dagger somehow tore through her clothes, it left an unusually cold feeling on her body.
Given my own body's defensive capabilities, there's only one possible reason for this feeling: the dagger is dangerous enough to injure me.
Perhaps the material of the dagger alone is not enough to achieve this, but if Xiao Ye's own strength is added, then everything becomes uncertain, and perhaps his body will be as vulnerable as his clothes.
"Interesting. I knew I shouldn't underestimate you." Qi Ling said, summoning her Divine Dragon Emperor Martial Soul. Moreover, to show respect for Xiao Ye, Qi Ling summoned her Dragon God Armor from the very beginning, and also summoned the Demon God Halberd, holding it in her hand.
Judging from the abilities of both sides, this is undoubtedly a battle between a heavily armored warrior and an assassin. It may seem that Xiao Ye does not have the advantage, but as long as the attack is strong enough, no matter how strong the defense is, it will be useless.
" Soul Skill: Nine Heavens Dragon Roar!" Qi Ling's strongest starting skill is naturally the Nine Heavens Dragon Roar, which can forcibly control the opponent. As long as he can stun the opponent, even for a short time, Qi Ling is confident that he can change the course of the battle in an instant.
Unfortunately, after so many battles, Nine Heavens Dragon Roar finally revealed a major weakness: although it is an instant-cast skill, it is transmitted and activated through sound. In other words, its activation speed is the speed of sound!
However, at this level, it is very easy for their enemies to reach or even exceed the speed of sound, so they can defend themselves before being affected by the attack.
For example, in the current situation, when her Nine Heavens Dragon Roar reached Xiao Ye, she was already prepared. Although she seemed to be stunned by her own attack, Qi Ling could sense that the real her was no longer in that position; the one there was just a phantom.
Therefore, Qi Ling did not waste any effort attacking the afterimages created by Xiao Ye. Instead, she stayed where she was, making sure she was fully defended, while amplifying her perception to search for Xiao Ye's true form.
Meanwhile, Xiao Ye, hidden in the shadows, looked at the motionless Qi Ling and exclaimed in surprise, "Huh? No way, my transformation should be flawless. How could Qi Ling have discovered me?"
Since Qi Ling did not launch an attack rashly, it meant that Qi Ling had seen through his tricks. Therefore, Xiao Ye became even more careful to hide himself while looking for an opportunity to attack Qi Ling.
However, Xiao Ye soon discovered that he couldn't find any weakness in Qi Ling's defenses. Given Qi Ling's defensive capabilities, the conditions for him to launch an effective attack were extremely demanding, and a direct attack was absolutely hopeless.
However, if Qi Ling were to attack him, he wouldn't have so many concerns. In fact, it could be said that no matter what kind of attack it was, he would lose his ability to fight if he were hit even once.
Although it was such an unfair battle, that was precisely where Qi Ling's strength lay. In his Divine Dragon Emperor form, his terrifying attack power, which surpassed that of others at the same level, meant that anyone considering launching an attack had to carefully consider the consequences.
Just as Xiao Ye was about to continue looking for an opportunity, Qi Ling suddenly smiled and took action, which startled Xiao Ye. Had he been discovered so quickly?
Instead of launching a blind attack, Qi Ling stretched out her hands and placed them on the open ground in front of her, as if there was something in front of her.
Then, a special power was released from Qi Ling's hands, and the surrounding space began to tremble with this power, which surprised Xiao Ye.
