Upon hearing Qi Ling's words, Hai Wei'er was startled and said, "Kill us? I thought you were Undying Body, Qi Ling, is this guy really that powerful?"
"Please, even gods aren't Undying Body. I only have a way to resurrect, not that I'm truly invincible!" Qi Ling said helplessly. "Especially with the severe suppression here, it's really hard to say whether I'll die or not."
"What exactly is that, Qi Ling?" Hai Wei'er couldn't help but ask.
"If I'm not mistaken, it should be a very special monster called Ghost Shark," Qi Ling said. "The reason you can't sense its presence is because it's not a living creature. Just like its name suggests, it's an energy entity, a ghost."
"Ghosts!?" It seems girls are naturally defenseless against such things. Hai Wei'er immediately grabbed Qi Ling and said nervously, " Qi Ling, are there really ghosts here?"
"That's true, but you don't need to be so scared," Qi Ling explained with a smile. "These Ghost Shark aren't invincible monsters; they're just immune to simple physical attacks, but they can still inflict physical damage themselves."
"So shameless? Does that mean it can only attack us, and we can't attack it?" Hai Wei'er couldn't help but say.
"If this is considered shameless, then it really is shameless," Qi Ling couldn't help but say. "Moreover, because the Martial Soul cannot be used, it's impossible for you to use Soul Skill to deal with it. If it were someone else, it would probably be a dead end."
"Then, Qi Ling, do you have any way to deal with it? I don't want to be shark food," Hai Wei'er said.
"Don't worry, I already said that if it were someone else, it would be a real dead end. In other words, it just happened to run into me, so it's just unlucky," Qi Ling said with a smile.
As she spoke, Qi Ling circulated the True Dragon Qi within her body. A special power coursed through Qi Ling's entire body. Similar to Tang San's, Qi Ling's Nine Revolutions True Dragon Art was also a power independent of Soul Power, which could be put to use at this moment.
Compared to the original Soul Power within his body, Qi Ling's True Dragon Qi is even more domineering and powerful. However, Qi Ling has only cultivated to the seventh level so far. Although Qi Ling has absorbed the eighth Soul Ring, as the foundation of the Nine Revolutions True Dragon Art, his True Dragon Body is still at the seventh level.
It wasn't that Qi Ling didn't want to continue cultivating, but now he didn't know how to break through. Simply applying pressure to his body wasn't enough anymore; he had to find another way.
Even so, the Nine Revolutions True Dragon Art is already sufficient, at least giving Qi Ling the ability to fight against the Ghost Shark.
"However, there's one more thing we need to do to deal with it," Qi Ling said. "I need to pinpoint its location first."
"Huh? Even you can't pinpoint its location? But Qi Ling, you can see it, can't you?" Hai Wei'er asked.
"That won't work. This guy's aura is too difficult to detect, and he blends almost completely into his surroundings. When he's not attacking, I can hardly even spot him," Qi Ling said.
"In order to deal with it, I need to be absolutely certain of its location, and that will require your help."
"My help? What can I do?" Hai Wei'er, puzzled.
"It's simple, just do what you do best," Qi Ling laughed, "Sing!"
"Singing?" Hai Wei'er was taken aback, but then she understood. "You mean, you're planning to use sound waves to determine its location? But will that work? It doesn't have a physical form, does it? Won't the sound reflect back?"
"It's not the sound, but the energy contained in your singing!" Qi Ling said. "Isn't there a special power in the songs of your Mermaid Clan? This power can affect the Ghost Shark, revealing its location to me."
Hai Wei'er said with some skepticism, "Alright, in that case, I'll give it a try."
Then, Hai Wei'er sang a beautiful song beside Qi Ling. As the most musically talented race in the sea, listening to the songs of the Mermaid Tribe was undoubtedly a great enjoyment.
At the same time, Qi Ling had another reason for having Hai Wei'er sing, besides to pinpoint the location of the Ghost Shark! Because the Ghost Shark was formed from energy, and Hai Wei'er's singing contained powerful energy, which was equivalent to launching a direct attack on the Ghost Shark.
This attack might not directly harm the Ghost Shark, but it can at least provoke it, making it agitated and causing it to attack more frequently, thus giving Qi Ling more opportunities to strike.
Just as Qi Ling had expected, the Ghost Shark was enraged by Hai Wei'er's singing and swam around angrily, seemingly looking for a suitable opportunity to attack.
Under these circumstances, Qi Ling Qi Ling could even lock onto the Ghost Shark without relying on Hai Wei'er's singing. He could simply wait for it to reveal a weakness so that he could deliver Fatal Strike.
Finally, Ghost Shark, believing he had found the best opportunity, chose to bypass Qi Ling and launch a direct attack on Hai Wei'er.
This opening was deliberately created by Qi Ling. He anticipated the Ghost Shark's attack route, and as the Ghost Shark charged forward, a golden chain suddenly appeared between his hands, binding the Ghost Shark tightly.
Suddenly trapped, Ghost Shark realized it had been tricked; this was a trap set by Qi Ling! It desperately tried to break free from the ropes in Qi Ling's hands, but to no avail.
Upon seeing this, Hai Wei'er stopped singing and asked in surprise, "Huh? Qi Ling, didn't you say that this Ghost Shark doesn't have a physical form? Then why can you catch it with a rope?"
"Take a good look at what kind of rope I'm using," Qi Ling laughed. "This is True Dragon Chain formed from a True Dragon Qi. It has an extremely strong ability to restrain these demons and monsters."
"This guy is powerful, but my True Dragon Qi is exactly its nemesis! No, I should say I am the nemesis of all evil and crooked methods."
"Wow, that's amazing, Qi Ling! I'm starting to admire you more and more," Hai Wei'er exclaimed. "So, what should we do now? This thing is immune to physical attacks, so we probably can't do anything about it, right?"
"Silly girl, if I can lock it up, do you think I can't solve it?" Qi Ling said, the True Dragon Chain in her hand emitted a faint golden light, and actually wrapped around the Ghost Shark's neck, and then began to tighten.
As a manifestation of Qi Ling's own true energy, the True Dragon Chain are like an extension of Qi Ling's body. No matter how they change, they can be manipulated at will. They can even strangle the Ghost Shark directly, just like this.
Feeling the chains around his neck, as if death itself were about to claim his life, Ghost Shark began to fight back even more fiercely, but to no avail.
Just as the True Dragon Chain were about to sever the Ghost Shark's head, Qi Ling suddenly stopped and loosened the chain slightly, giving the Ghost Shark a chance to catch its breath.
"How about we make a deal, buddy?" Qi Ling said to Ghost Shark with a smile. "I won't kill you; you take us to the Heart of the Ocean, how about it?"
