Look into your eyes?
Are you blind? I'm looking into your eyes.
Without saying a word, Lin Qiye closed his eyes.
Lin Qiye knew about Medusa, such a famous mythical creature. Although he didn't know how much of the "turn anyone to stone with a glare" ability the snake woman, as its agent, had inherited, it was always better to be cautious.
As long as he avoided making eye contact with her, she couldn't do anything to him.
Fighting with his eyes closed might be extremely difficult for others, but it was no challenge for Lin Qiye at all. With the [Mortal God Realm], he no longer needed his eyes to obtain information.
Snake Woman:...
Seeing that one of her unique skills had been rejected, the snake woman became somewhat annoyed. The black python formed from her black hair roared and lunged at Lin Qiye.
Lin Qiye deflected the snake woman's hiltless blade and retreated quickly. After leaving the snake woman's vicinity, the black pythons expanded rapidly, each one as thick as a water bucket. With just a light tap, they snapped a nearby tree in half.
Faced with the swarming giant black pythons, Lin Qiye's figure was like a leaf falling in the wind, accurately avoiding the snake's mouth each time, retreating dozens of meters away in the blink of an eye.His expression grew increasingly serious.
The snake woman's methods are numerous and bizarre: unpredictable teleportation, petrifying snake eyes, mysteriously designed snake fangs, and a head full of black pythons...
Fortunately, her own realm is not high. Judging from the strength of her spiritual power, she should be in the "Pool" realm like me. But since we are both in the "Pool" realm, why is the range of her forbidden area as large as the entire street?
Generally speaking, the coverage area of a forbidden zone is related to its own power. The stronger the power, the smaller the range of the forbidden zone. After entering the "Pool" realm, Lin Qiye's [Mortal God Domain] has a range of 100 meters, while the [Darkest God Ruins] is only 50 meters.
The snake woman's eerie forbidden zone covers an area of at least three hundred meters. What exactly is the purpose of this forbidden zone?
Just as Lin Qiye was pondering, the snake woman's figure vanished again, and in an instant she appeared on the old wall beside him. She suddenly exerted force with her legs, kicked off the wall, and flew towards Lin Qiye like an arrow!
Damn it!
The blade clashed with the snake fang without any fancy moves, producing a harsh scraping sound. Lin Qiye's tightly closed eyes turned black, and then the half of the tree that had fallen to the side suddenly rose into the air and shot towards the snake woman!
The sharp tree trunks, like spears, not only disrupted the snake woman's hair on her shoulders but also deflected her from her original trajectory in mid-air. Lin Qiye swung out his second straight sword in an instant!
Whoosh!
As the blade flashed, the snake woman's body twisted like a water snake, dodging the blade in a bizarre manner. However, a large section of her snake hair was severed from her shoulders, turning into scattered strands that slowly fell to the ground.
Using the momentum, the snake woman leaped up again and landed steadily on the top of another large tree, coiling herself around the trunk like a water snake.
Lin Qiye closed his eyes, tilted his head slightly, and used his mental power to scan the place where the snake woman had just appeared out of thin air. As if he had thought of something, a smile appeared on his lips.
He understood.
"Seeking death!"
The snake woman's fingertips brushed against the severed black hair, her killing intent intensifying. The hiltless blade in her palm spun half a circle, and her figure vanished once more.
The instant her figure vanished, Lin Qiye reversed his grip on the straight sword and thrust it fiercely into the air behind him!
The snake woman's figure automatically appeared at the tip of the blade!
CLINK—!
A soft hum rang out, and the phantom of snake scales appeared on the snake woman's chest, dissipating most of the force of the straight blade. However, the tip of the blade still managed to break through the snake scales and pierce her body shallowly!
The snake woman's pupils suddenly contracted.
Before she could think any further, her figure vanished again, and in the blink of an eye, she appeared on the roof of a low house dozens of meters away.
She clutched the knife wound in her chest, her snake-like eyes fixed on Lin Qiye, filled with rage.
"You..."
Lin Qiye, carrying a knife and with his eyes closed, slowly walked towards the snake woman, enveloped in the darkness.
"At first, I thought these eerie snake eyes on the street were just a trick you used to scare people... It wasn't until just now that I realized they are your abilities themselves."
"Snake eyes on the ground, snake eyes in the snowmelt, snake eyes formed by tree branches, snake eyes in the cracks of the wall..."
"Your teleportation doesn't allow you to randomly choose a landing point; you can only appear where these snake eyes are located."
"Knowing this will greatly reduce the threat you pose."
Lin Qiye walked to the low house where the snake woman was and continued calmly:
"I guess your Forbidden Ruins... no, I should say Divine Ruins, one of its abilities is to create snake eye patterns within its coverage area using everything 'reasonable,' and then use these snake eyes to move to a fixed point, creating the illusion of 'teleportation.'"
"At least at your current level, this divine ruin can only possess power of this level."
"Having discovered the secret of 'teleportation,' with just that long hair that can transform into a black python and your clumsy fighting skills, you are no match for me."
"As for your petrified snake eyes…"
Lin Qiye slowly opened his eyes. His left eye was as fiery as fire, while his right eye was as black as ink. Two completely different sacred and majestic auras emanated from his body.
The heat and the darkness, two divine powers, achieved a strange balance within him.
"You can try it. After we make eye contact, who will freeze first, or... die first?"
Two eyes, one bright and one dark, met the snake woman's gaze, and the divine might of the three gods clashed in an instant!
PUFF—!
In an instant, the snake woman's spirit felt as if it had been torn apart by these two divine powers, causing her excruciating pain. She coughed up a mouthful of blood, her face as pale as paper!
"Aaaaaah!!"
She bent over in pain, covering her eyes with her hands, and two streams of bloody tears flowed from between her fingers.
The divine power in Lin Qiye's eyes faded. He looked down at his arm, where some gray spots had appeared on the surface of his skin. He could no longer feel anything when he gently rubbed his fingers against it.
Is this the Petrifying Eye...?
Although terrifying, given the Snake Woman's current level, it would take at least ten seconds of eye contact to completely petrify Lin Qiye, who was also at the "Pool" level. Under Lin Qiye's dual divine might, she would be doing quite well if she could last five seconds.
Taking advantage of the snake woman's dazed state due to his divine power, Lin Qiye's surroundings grew even darker. He lightly touched the ground with his toes, and his whole body floated up like a ghost, landing on the roof where the snake woman was.
He moved swiftly, and his straight sword flashed towards the snake woman's neck!
At this moment, the snake woman had already knelt down in pain. She could see Lin Qiye's movements out of the corner of her eye, but her body could no longer keep up. A boundless hatred appeared in her snake eyes!
CLANG—!
Just as the straight blade was about to sever the snake woman's head, a silver halberd blocked Lin Qiye's attack.Lin Qiye frowned and looked over; the man who had arrived was around thirty years old.
With a slight tremor of his halberd, the man sent Lin Qiye staggering back several steps, his blood churning and a trickle of blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.
"Hello." The man stood before the snake woman, a long halberd on his back, calmly gazing at Lin Qiye, and politely began to speak.
"I am Han Shaoyun, the thirteenth seat of the [believers]."
