Looking at the sword in Qian Jiyin's hand, Qi Ling couldn't help but smile and say, "It's very simple, Qian Jiyin. The sword in your hand is indeed a divine weapon. After all, weapons that can pierce my armor are rare."
"But unfortunately, it's not that your weapon is inadequate, it's that you are inadequate! Qian Jiyin, you're afraid, you're afraid of me, that's why you can't hurt me!"
Upon hearing Qi Ling's words, Qian Jiyin's eyes widened in disbelief. He couldn't comprehend the logic behind it and retorted, "What nonsense are you spouting? Strength is strength, and a weapon is a weapon. How could I not be able to hurt you just because I'm afraid of you!"
"You're right, strength is strength, and a weapon is a weapon, so your sword pierced my armor," Qi Ling said. "But don't forget, this battle isn't about weapons, it's a battle between you and me!"
The spectators in the stands shook their heads helplessly at the situation between the two. Qian Jiyin had lost all his edge from the start; he wasn't playing with the intention of winning at all. What he was thinking about now was when he would lose.
With such a mindset, how could one possibly win? Therefore, Qian Jiyin's aura has now been completely swallowed up by Qi Ling, which is why Qian Jiyin cannot harm Qi Ling at all.
Qian Jiyin, of course, did not believe such a reason. He desperately tried to stab Qi Ling with his sword, wanting to hurt Qi Ling, but his indestructible sword was now like a wooden stick, and he could not hurt Qi Ling at all.
As some say, an attack without killing intent cannot hurt anyone. This is exactly the case with Qian Jiyin at this moment. His heart is filled with fear, and he is simply unable to fight Qi Ling normally.
"Damn it, damn it!" Qian Jiyin slumped down his sword, panting heavily, "But even so, you can't break through my Hundred Refinements Formation! Qi Ling, you'll be trapped here to die!"
Upon hearing Qian Jiyin's words, Qi Ling burst into laughter. "Hahaha, Qian Jiyin, what nonsense are you spouting? Are you saying that controlling my things is all your hope?"
As Qi Ling spoke, she tugged at the white ribbons again and said, "I admit, these things are indeed a bit difficult to deal with. I'm afraid even if I transform into Divine Dragon, or any other form, these ribbons will change according to my form, thus restricting my movements, right?"
"That's right, exactly! Qi Ling, you can't escape my grasp anymore, accept your fate!" Qian Jiyin said, "No matter what form you take, you can't get rid of this thing of mine, nor can it be easily destroyed."
"So you still haven't seen enough, no, perhaps I should say, Qian Jiyin, you still underestimate me!" Qi Ling said helplessly, "Are you sure that no matter what form I take, these things can trap me?"
Qian Jiyin didn't understand what Qi Ling Qi Ling by those words, but the changes that followed completely shocked Qian Jiyin.
Qi Ling's body was gradually enveloped in a shadow starting from her feet. It was a dense shadow, like pure darkness, so dark that nothing could be seen at all.
Then, Qian Jiyin sensed that Qi Ling, who was in the darkness, seemed to have become part of that darkness as well, becoming strange and unpredictable.
In the next instant, all the dark shadows seemed to pour down like water, spreading out to form a large patch of darkness on the ground. At the same time, Qi Ling had vanished from her original spot, leaving only the white ribbons behind.
This is a power belonging to the Blood Devil. Although Qi Ling hasn't used it for a long time, it's because there's no use for it. But now, it's coming in handy to deal with Qian Jiyin.
Qian Jiyin was completely dumbfounded. How come he didn't know Qi Ling possessed such abilities? Shouldn't Qi Ling be a pure offensive type?
There was no time for Qian Jiyin to be shocked. Now that Qi Ling had escaped, it was time for him to find a way to escape himself.
Qian Jiyin originally planned to go underground again, just like before, and launch an attack on Qi Ling from below the ground, while also thinking about tactics.
But then he discovered that the ground around him was no longer just plain ground, but an area completely shrouded in shadow, where no sand or soil could be seen at all.
Standing in such shadow, Qian Jiyin dared not burrow into the ground again as he had done before, for doing so might have led him straight into Qi Ling's trap.
Looking at the cautious Qian Jiyin, Qi Ling couldn't help but chuckle, "This guy is quite cautious, isn't he? Alright, let's try a different attack then."
Suddenly, countless sharp spikes emerged from the shadows on the ground, piercing towards Qian Jiyin. The shadows, which had previously been shapeless, now became incredibly solid.
If Qian Jiyin were hit by these spikes, he would be riddled with holes.
Clearly, Qian Jiyin himself knew this; it was no longer a matter of winning or losing, but a matter of life and death. So, at that moment, just as the spikes were about to strike him, Qian Jiyin once again used another divine artifact.
A white barrier appeared around Qian Jiyin's body, protecting him completely from harm. Even the dark spikes that touched the barrier seemed to be swallowed up by some force, gradually dissolving away.
Qi Ling wasn't surprised at all that Qian Jiyin possessed these divine artifacts, and that these items likely had other effects as well; Qian Jiyin was only using them for protection at the moment.
"Heh, how naive. Did you really think that having a tortoise shell like this would allow you to evade all my attacks?" Qi Ling Lingling. "Let me show you that sometimes, fear is a very effective form of attack!"
Qian Jiyin originally thought that Qi Ling would give up after seeing that his attack was ineffective, or at least change his attack method. However, to his surprise, Qi Ling not only did not change his attack method, but also increased the intensity of his attack.
From all directions of Qian Jiyin, countless tentacles emerged from the ground, each one incredibly thick and carrying immense power, slamming towards Qian Jiyin.
These tentacles, composed of dark shadows, would disappear upon contact with the barrier surrounding Qian Jiyin's body due to the barrier's power, but they would also generate a tremendous impact, causing Qian Jiyin's barrier to shake.
The current situation is like countless terrifying and bizarre monsters attacking Qian Jiyin with their tentacles, while Qian Jiyin is like a small boat in a raging sea, in danger of being destroyed at any moment.
