Although the other party held a sword in his hand, he was extremely relaxed, because everything was under his control, and Qi Ling's struggles were meaningless in his eyes.
The masked man moved in the next second, his thin sword thrusting straight at Qi Ling. There was no swordsmanship involved; perhaps he disdained to use swordsmanship against Qi Ling, or perhaps at his level, having no sword moves was the best sword move.
But no matter what, Qi Ling had to do everything he could to deal with this sword. As soon as the opponent moved, he immediately opened his mouth and let out a dragon's roar. His control skill had already been activated. As long as he could stun the opponent for a moment with the dragon's roar, he could create more opportunities for himself.
However, Qi Ling was surprised to find that her Nine Heavens Dragon Roar had no effect on the masked man at all, and had no effect on him whatsoever.
This is because after the man swung his sword, a protective barrier formed from the sword energy! This was not something he did intentionally, but rather a protective layer that formed naturally from his power.
This means that Qi Ling's painstaking attacks couldn't even break through the opponent's unconsciously formed power layer; the difference in strength was so great that it was enough to make one despair.
In that brief moment of Qi Ling's daze, the masked man had already arrived in front of Qi Ling. Only by activating her Fiery Eyes and Golden Pupils to the maximum extent could Qi Ling clearly see the other party's movements.
Without any time to hesitate, Qi Ling had no choice but to use her second trump card. The divine artifact, the Immortal Immortal-Binding Rope, was thrown out by Qi Ling and quickly flew towards the masked man.
After the divine artifact, the Immortal Immortal-Binding Rope, flew out of Qi Ling's hand, it immediately climbed onto the masked man's body and bound him tightly. Clearly, this sudden turn of events surprised him for a moment.
Seizing this only opportunity, Qi Ling used all her strength to swing the Demon God Halberd in her hand, creating a huge blood-red cross in the air. Her strongest attack, " Annihilation in All Ten Directions," was now aimed at the masked man.
Qi Ling knew she couldn't possibly defeat the man before her. Given the vast difference in strength, Qi Ling wasn't even confident she could break through his defenses, let alone defeat him.
Qi Ling never expected that the masked man would break through her attack in such a way! The huge blood-red cross formed by her Annihilation in All Ten Directions turned silver starting from the very center of the cross, and then the entire cross changed.
At the same time, Qi Ling also felt that the power of her attack was gradually slipping out of her control and turning into something else she didn't recognize, or rather, into the power of someone else!
Immediately afterwards, his Annihilation in All Ten Directions actually changed the direction of his attack in mid-air. The huge silver cross then attacked Qi Ling himself, striking Qi Ling's chest with precision.
After unleashing the Annihilation in All Ten Directions, Qi Ling was already in a very weak state, so she had no extra strength to fight against the returning Annihilation in All Ten Directions.
Qi Ling then sensed the presence of her enemies. Even with the protection of the Dragon God Armor, Qi Ling was still severely injured, a terrible cross-shaped wound appearing on her chest, and she fell backward at great speed.
It could be said that Qi Ling fell victim to her own attack, but this was definitely done by the masked man. With this blow, Qi Ling almost lost all ability to resist.
Seeing Qi Ling lying on the ground, the masked man slowly walked towards Qi Ling, still holding the Immortal Immortal-Binding Rope in his hand. Obviously, this divine artifact did not cause him much trouble.
"I'm truly astonished. I never expected you to possess such a large number of divine artifacts, almost comparable to an adult," the masked man said. "If you were given the opportunity to grow and unleash the power of these artifacts, you could become a real problem."
"Unfortunately, once a divine artifact recognizes its master, refining it becomes extremely difficult, and even killing you would take a very long time. Nevertheless, thank you for this wonderful gift!"
"To express my gratitude, rest assured, I will make sure you die without any pain!! Then, everything you have will be mine! Hahahaha!"
The man then stopped talking to Qi Ling, fearing his actions would be discovered and cause him trouble. He thrust his sword forward without hesitation, Qi Ling's heart.
The seemingly indestructible Dragon God Armor proved as fragile as cardboard under the opponent's sword strike, offering no resistance whatsoever. The sword pierced straight into Qi Ling's chest, penetrating to the very end.
Then, the masked man drew his sword. After confirming that his sword had indeed pierced Qi Ling's heart, he looked at Qi Ling with great confidence until Qi Ling's heart gradually stopped beating. Only then did he walk back with satisfaction.
A simple attack wouldn't cause such damage, but this sword strike contained the masked man's own power—a very special kind of attack.
The masked man initially thought the attack was over, since no one could survive under such circumstances. However, to his utter surprise, just as he turned to leave, a sudden change caused him to stop again, looking at Qi Ling in astonishment.
Because Qi Ling's heart, which had stopped beating, started beating again! And that surging vitality began to return to Qi Ling's body; he had actually come back to life!
This time, the masked man was genuinely astonished. He watched as Qi Ling weakly sat up and exclaimed, " Qi Ling! Are you Undying Body? I clearly killed you just now! What did you do?!"
Qi Ling naturally wouldn't tell the masked man what had happened, but only forced a smile and said, "Hehe, who knows? Perhaps I really am Undying Body!"
Actually, what just happened was only because Qi Ling was lucky to escape. The masked man's attack was indeed powerful; anyone else would have been killed without a doubt.
Coincidentally, the masked man's attack was aimed at the soul, which was indeed powerful and almost impossible to resist. However, just like the attack Xiao Ye had made on Qi Ling, it was countered by Qi Ling's " Indestructible Dragon Soul " characteristic.
Therefore, after the masked man's power took effect, Qi Ling's Indestructible Dragon Soul came back to life, resisting that power and restoring Qi Ling's vitality. In this respect, he is indeed Undying Body.
