"Excellent intuition, very accurate judgment!" Xue Qinghe said regretfully as Qi Ling dodged his attack. "These attacks condensed from death energy were hard-won; what a pity."
"Hmph, a mere trick. You think you can't do what I can?" Qi Ling said, raising her hand. Dozens of dragon-shaped arrows formed in the air. " Dragon King Star-Chasing Arrow: Rain of Arrows!"
Faced with the incoming volley of arrows, Xue Qinghe waved his hand, and dozens more gray rays shot out, colliding with the Star Chasing Arrow in mid-air. Surprisingly, neither could gain the upper hand.
During this brief moment, Qi Ling rushed towards Xue Qinghe again, only to see Xue Qinghe smile strangely, suddenly open his mouth, and spew out a stream of poisonous gas at Qi Ling.
"Hahaha, Divine Dragon Emperor, you can't possibly be immune to poison, can you? Qi Ling, taste the poison I specially prepared for you... Waaah!" Before Xue Qinghe could finish speaking, Qi Ling punched him in the stomach, sending him flying in agony.
Qi Ling, who had once again Xue Qinghe with a punch, fanned himself with his hand and then frowned, saying, "You stink! How many days has it been since you brushed your teeth? Someone like you wants to be emperor? You're more like the leader of a beggar gang!"
"Impossible! Your Martial Soul shouldn't have any resistance to poison!" Xue Qinghe said in disbelief, "Even if Dugu Bo came, he would be affected by my poison! How could you not have any reaction!"
"Are you stupid? I'm immune to poison!" Qi Ling laughed, then activated his Poison-Prohibition Domain. "Of course, poison immunity can't protect against your bad breath. You can try harder and see if you can stink me to death!"
"This is outrageous! Qi Ling, prepare to die!" Xue Qinghe said, his whole body suddenly swelled up violently, and then he opened his mouth and shot an energy wave as thick as a well towards Qi Ling.
Seeing this, Qi Ling calmly raised his hand, his Fourth Soul Ring lit up, and then a huge energy ball, as big as the sun, formed in his hand and was thrown towards Xue Qinghe.
Gaia Energy Cannon collided with Xue Qinghe's attack in mid-air. After a brief stalemate, it actually managed to suppress his attack, gradually pushing it back.
In the end, Xue Qinghe's attack was completely blocked by Qi Ling, while Qi Ling's Gaia Energy Cannon remained powerful and was forced into Xue Qinghe's mouth like a giant glutinous rice ball.
"Ugh, ugh... ugh ugh..." Xue Qinghe's mouth was stuffed full of Gaia Energy Cannon, but he couldn't spit it out. Yet, he couldn't swallow such a huge amount of energy.
"Let's see if your teeth are harder, or if my explosion is more powerful! Gaia Energy Cannon, blast!"
In the violent explosion, Xue Qinghe was sent flying once again. He felt that the thing he did most during his battle with Qi Ling was to keep flying through the air.
However, this time, something unexpected happened to Qi Ling: after Xue Qinghe flew out again, he instantly disappeared into thin air!
That's right, it disappeared instantly, without any warning or abnormality. It simply vanished into thin air without a trace.
The instant Xue Qinghe disappeared, Qi Ling immediately unleashed the full power of his Fiery Eyes and Golden Pupils. To his surprise, even his invincible Fiery Eyes and Golden Pupils couldn't see where Xue Qinghe was.
"Could this guy have escaped? Otherwise, I could have easily missed him!" Qi Ling thought to herself. "No, he set up this trap today to eliminate me. He can't possibly escape before achieving that goal!"
Just then, Qi Ling suddenly felt a very subtle movement on her left side, and then a wound appeared on her left arm, from which blood flowed out.
Until he was injured, Qi Ling did not sense Xue Qinghe's presence at all. He only sensed it the moment Xue Qinghe attacked, but that brief moment was not enough for Qi Ling to retaliate.
At the same time, Qi Ling was also surprised to find that the wound on her left arm, although very minor, was completely unable to heal! This was simply impossible given Qi Ling's recovery ability.
"This guy's ability? It can actually prevent his opponent's wounds from healing. Isn't that a bit too much?" Qi Ling couldn't help but frown.
Having the ability to prevent an opponent's injuries from healing allows the damage to accumulate gradually, eventually wearing them down—a rather despicable ability.
Just as Qi Ling Xue Qinghe's abilities, another wound inexplicably appeared on his right arm, bleeding profusely and refusing to heal.
Each attack was something he could only sense when he was being attacked. This strange situation led Qi Ling to wonder if Xue Qinghe's ability was some kind of illusion or barrier.
"No, impossible!" Qi Ling denied. " My Fiery Eyes and Golden Pupils can see through any disguise and illusion; this couldn't possibly be something so low-level! As for poison, that's even more impossible!"
"So, what kind of ability is this exactly?"
To uncover the truth behind Xue Qinghe's abilities, Qi Ling had no choice but to continue enduring Xue Qinghe's attacks. This time, Xue Qinghe's voice came from all directions. "Hehehe, what's wrong, Qi Ling? Aren't you very powerful? Come on, try catching me!"
"Your strength is indeed astonishing, and your physical resilience is impeccable. Although I hate to admit it, I am no match for you in a direct confrontation."
"But the Chaos Evil Dragon's fighting style has never been about winning by brute force! Qi Ling, just wait to be worn down by my power and die covered in wounds!"
Faced with Xue Qinghe's attack, Qi Ling had to admit that if she couldn't break his attack pattern, she really had no chance of winning.
In an instant, Qi Ling made a decision, abandoning all defense and attack, and focusing all her attention on sensing Xue Qinghe's attack.
Xue Qinghe's attacks came one after another, leaving Qi Ling covered in wounds, but Qi Ling seemed to feel nothing, standing there quietly, letting himself be slaughtered.
Hidden in the shadows, Xue Qinghe sneered when he saw Qi Ling's resigned expression. This time, he set his sights on Qi Ling's neck, aiming at his carotid artery!
" Qi Ling, prepare to die!" Xue Qinghe launched his attack with great excitement, but just when he thought that Qi Ling would still passively accept his attack, a rope suddenly stretched out from Qi Ling's body and tied Xue Qinghe's hands the instant he made his move.
"Got you! So you were here?" Qi Ling laughed as she looked at Xue Qinghe's hands, which she had tied up. Then, Xue Qinghe gradually appeared in front of her.
