"Did I lose?"
As Ling Chen's head was falling, a thought flashed through his mind like a jolt of electricity. His strategy had worked, but his actions were ultimately a step slower than the Shinobi God, who had beheaded him first.

However, just as Ling Chen was about to close his eyes and accept his fate of being transported out of the Sword Prison, he suddenly felt a sensation of the world spinning around him, as if he had undergone reincarnation, experiencing what felt like thousands of years in just a moment.
