All of this happened in a fleeting moment,
Yang Qizhou didn't give "Mr. Death" any chance to breathe, intent on swiftly subduing him. Transforming into the "Iron Blood God," Yang wielded the symbolic powers of iron and blood, hurling the "Iron Blood Spear" in a strike potent enough to obliterate that illusory, indescribable form—though not to kill him outright.
Time and space froze.
Tentacles flailed, and Yang Qizhou felt the "Iron Blood Spear" in his hand involuntarily shift its trajectory toward "Zhou Xu" and the "Dark Star."
To his shock, Mr. Death exhibited powers that rivaled, or perhaps even surpassed, those of a "Star Spirit" at its pinnacle. He somehow manipulated the "Iron Blood Spear" into deception. Although surprised, Yang Qizhou did not panic and withdrew his power just as the sea of blood was about to engulf the two targets.
"Fraud" symbolism isn't adept at direct attacks, but it excels in its eerie qualities, Yang Qizhou pondered thoughtfully.
