However, Karin manages to take the gun and tries to use it against her opponent, but Xingzi deflects the bullet with his Naba High Frequency Blade. While Karin worries about the situation outside, Xingzi states that he thought the skills of Immortals become dull after achieving Immortality and proceeds claiming that he will get the taste of Karin's immortality, calling her "The Saintess of Steel". The two then engage in combat, with Xingzi deflecting another bullet and cutting through Karin's arm with his knife. He is excited to see that in spite of his attacks landing, there are no scars on Karin's body. At that moment, Karin delivers a devastating punch, throwing Xingzi onto the opposite wall. Holding him, Karin notices that he's just a human and tells him to leave. However, Xingzi takes advantage of this, grabbing his pistol and shooting Karin into her mouth. Noticing that in spite of her Immortality, Karin still can feel pain, Xingzi introduces herself, revealing his true purpose.[8]
