Chapter 750: Chapter 750

Jiang Dali’s tone left no room for doubt as he handed the Medicine Pearl to Murong Qingqing, ignoring Bai Ting who was eagerly looking on. "Alright, we can set off now."

Bai Ting muttered in his heart, rubbing his hands and forcing a dry chuckle, "Village Chief, I... should I also take one, just to be safe?"

Jiang Dali glanced at him sideways, saying coldly, "You’re not directly involved in the battle, no need to waste it."

Bai Ting was lost for words, feeling extremely sullen inside.

To think that he was the Sect Leader of the Divine Fire Sect, after all, a strong figure in the Heavenly Human 4th Realm.

Yet, he didn’t even have the qualification to join the battle; the insult was too strong.

At that moment, he could only comfort himself with the thought, "Not joining is safer," and numb himself as he started to get busy with the actions of the crowd.

On the waterfront opposite the Leshan Giant Buddha, nearly two thousand Players had already gathered, forming a veritable sea of people.

Numerous bright, glaring blood bars were extremely striking before Jiang Dali’s eyes.

Swords, spears, blades, and poles of all kinds were in the Players’ hands, too numerous for the eyes to take in.

Thousands of sharp Weapons glinted in the sunlight, making the entire waterfront seem fraught with a bone-chilling murderous aura. The wind that blew past even carried the sound of unsheathed blades, an awe-inspiring sight.

"Although these Abnormal People will not actually die, can they really provide any assistance in our fight against the Fire Qilin with their strength?"

Standing shoulder to shoulder with Jiang Dali, Nie Renwang looked puzzled at the Players who almost blocked off the waterfront and even began to busy themselves with boarding the boats to approach the Giant Buddha, wondering aloud.

"Even if you haven’t seen how I dealt with the Fire Qilin last time, you should have heard about it."

Jiang Dali folded his arms across his chest and said with a light smile, "Don’t underestimate these Abnormal People. If we are defeated by the Fire Qilin, they will create an opportunity for us to retreat safely and escape the danger."

Nie Renwang’s gaze sharpened, and he said solemnly, "So, you think that even with our combined strength, we won’t be able to kill the Fire Qilin? That there’s even significant danger?"

Jiang Dali nodded gravely, "That’s right."

In fact, there was a secret he hadn’t mentioned.

That was that the Fire Qilin couldn’t actually die.

Even if killed, it would revive after many years through the essence blood within its body.

This was the peculiar trait of the Fire Qilin as one of the Four Spirits.

The Fire Qilin, having fallen and lost its Reverse Scale due to a grievous injury, was weaker than the Azure Dragon, Fire Phoenix, and Xuanwu.

However, as one of the Four Spirits, its peculiar trait was its Undying Body.

In reality, if it weren’t for the Emperor of Divine Martial delivering a devastating punch to the Fire Qilin in the past, knocking off its Reverse Scale and breaking the Vajra Body, it would have been very difficult for people like Nie Ying and Duan Zhengxian to harm the Qilin later on, let alone knock Scale Armor from its body.

But of course, Jiang Dali wouldn’t reveal all this and strike at the Spirit of Nie Renwang and the others, affecting his own plans.

Nie Renwang thought of how his ancestor, Nie Ying, had disappeared inside Lingyun Cave, feeling heavy-hearted as his expression gradually turned solemn.

The reason he had agreed to Jiang Dali’s mad plan was also because he wanted to enter Lingyun Cave to search for Nie Ying’s traces.

Had it been any other time, there wouldn’t have been someone as strong and mad as Jiang Dali to accompany him, greatly increasing the danger.

"It’s getting late, let’s get ready to start!"

Jiang Dali looked towards Bai Ting and gave a slight nod of his chin.

"Yes, Village Chief!"

Bai Ting acknowledged the command with a nod, deployed his movement technique, and dashed straight for the river, landing on a small boat with a whoosh.

Gathering his energy into his lower body, he used his feet to propel the boat forcefully, accelerating it suddenly and breaking through the waves, heading towards the Giant Buddha ahead like a flying fish.

As the Sect Leader of the Divine Fire Sect, which had dominated the seas of the Western Regions alongside the Sea Shark Palace for many years, Bai Ting was naturally equipped with superb boating skills.

By the time they set off in the swordboat, it only took a few moments to reach the opposite shore.

With a long howl, he tapped the small boat and soared into the air, flipping several somersaults mid-flight until he landed at the entrance of Lingyun Cave, located in the navel of the Leshan Giant Buddha. The overwhelming scent of fierce fire poison hit him in the face, sending his heart racing.

"Such strong fire poison! Is this the renowned Qilin Fire Poison Red Flame?"

Bai Ting’s expression slightly changed as he stared intently at the brilliant firelight emanating from inside the cave. He began to unwrap and fetch out various prepared tools and cautiously stepped in to investigate.

"Once Bai Ting finds a solution to the fire poison, we can enter the cave!"

Jiang Dali turned to Nie Renwang and Murong Qingqing, then gave a loud shout and called down the Demon Hawk, leaping onto it.

He dragged out the long-unused Hercules Armor Set from the back of the Demon Hawk, tore his clothes apart to reveal a body of coiled, formidable muscles, and then equipped himself with the entire golden armor, piece by piece.

The armor, weighing over five hundred pounds, felt only slightly heavy on him, barely affecting his movement speed.

The multitude of Players below, seeing Jiang Dali’s solemn preparations to transform into a minotaur, all sensed that this assault on Lingyun Cave might be even more intense than the last one.

It should be noted that the last time they attacked Lingyun Cave, the Black Wind Village Chief didn’t seek any assistance.

"Is the village chief planning to slaughter the Fire Qilin this time?"

"It’s possible. But given the village chief’s current power, plus a green... cough, a Nie Renwang, I wouldn’t be surprised even if they did slaughter the Fire Qilin."

"We’re in luck, we might just be in time for the action."

A number of optimistic Players excitedly discussed among themselves, feeling that the Fire Qilin might not escape its fate this time.

However, the players from the four battle teams of the major families involved appeared rather solemn, quietly discussing among themselves.

"All the treasures are inside Lingyun Cave. It looks like the Black Wind Village Chief and his men are set to storm the cave. Are we just going to wait obediently outside?"

"What else can we do if we don’t wait? Should we barge in there too? We’d better play it safe, following the Black Wind Village Chief might give us a share of the spoils. Going against him means getting beaten to death without even a drop of soup to drink!"

The Players buzzed with discussion as time slowly passed by.

Thirty minutes later.

Suddenly, from the entrance of Lingyun Cave, a humanoid blaze of fire "whooshed" out and "boom" fell directly into the River below.

Jiang Dali’s gaze sharpened as he looked toward Bai Ting, who had just emerged from the water.

"Village chief, mission accomplished! I’ve found a way to weaken the Red Flame. We can go in now."

Bai Ting laughed heartily, clapped his palms against the water, and shot out like a white streak in the waves, returning to the entrance of the cave.

Jiang Dali yelled, and the Demon Hawk immediately flew towards the cave entrance.

Nie Renwang also let out a long howl, grabbed Murong Qingqing’s shoulder, and leaped, using his exquisite movement technique to skip across the waves in a few bounds, and landed in front of Lingyun Cave.

"I’ll lead the way; everyone follow closely behind me!"

Bai Ting shouted, his power circulating as he led the way into the cave.

With a raise of his palms, he fanned up an oppressive wall of hot air, creating a special barrier that kept the incoming Red Flame at bay.

Nie Renwang’s eyes lit up and he swiftly followed Jiang Dali into the cave...
