The black gas transformed into a large cocoon, completely enveloping Ye Qiu, and a thumping sound could be heard.
Inside the cocoon, invisible to outsiders, Ye Qiu's previously calm and motionless chest began to rise and fall, pulsate.
The thumping sound was indeed coming from Ye Qiu's chest or more precisely, his heart.
Resurrection?
In fact, Ye Qiu wasn't dead, just temporarily asphyxiated, entering a state of false death as a protective instinct of the body.
When Ji Batian crushed him with deadly pressure, Ye Qiu activated the Great Turtle Breath Evasion Technique.
The extremity of the Turtle Breath paused his heartbeat, which was the scene witnessed by everyone, making it appear that Ye Qiu had no heartbeat.
This was the fundamental means by which he deceived Ji Batian into believing Ye Qiu was dead.
Moreover, Ye Qiu hadn't sustained severe injuries, for this Great Turtle Breath Evasion Technique not only hid his breath to the extreme but also evaded harm.
