Chapter 755: Chapter 755
An immensely vast and surging force viciously churned.
The Snow Blade’s heavy Saber Qi actually cleaved directly through the fireball that burst from the angle of the Fire Qilin’s horn, harshly colliding with the hard antler of the Fire Qilin.
A huge clanging sound of metal on metal erupted, the air friction intensifying suddenly, exploding into bursts of thunderous noise.
Nie Renwang’s eyes bulged with fury, feeling his arms go numb with a violent tremor from holding the blade, his grip nearly splintering, as a tremendously fierce impact force gushed forth, sending his body flying backward.
The Fire Qilin, too, was slightly dazed by this strike, shaking its head, its eyes a furious crimson as it let out an angry roar and moved its four hooves.
The ground charred black, rocks exploding into fragments, shattered rock and soil flying up like an overwhelming avalanche.
The Fire Qilin transformed once more into a vast, awe-inspiring fireball, rolling across the rock wall like a huge meteor, bursting forth with waves of muffled explosions, slamming fiercely toward Nie Renwang.
However, just then, the air vibrated.
A mighty and burly figure charged furiously like a wild bull, its sharp helmet like the horns of a bull, colliding fiercely as if attempting to intercept, his whole body radiating an intense life-and-death aura.
The ferocity flashed in the Fire Qilin’s eyes, its flame-wreathed hooves suddenly spreading wide into claws, reaching out toward the newcomer’s head.
Jiang Dali bent his head down sharply, his body exerting force suddenly, slam-charging with the full weight of thirty feet of Heaven and Earth Power swirling into an energy vortex, converging on his helmet.
Sparks flew in every direction.
The Fire Qilin’s claw swiped aside in a flash, grazing across the chest of the Great Strength Armor and letting off a string of sparks and a piercing, twisted metallic explosion.
The Great Strength Armor was immediately torn open with an eye-catching chasm.
At the same time, Jiang Dali’s fists and even the bull horns of his helmet harshly struck the huge body of the Fire Qilin.
The flames on the Fire Qilin’s body dimmed from the impact in an instant.
Its massive body was actually knocked into a roll by Jiang Dali, who was in a life-and-death state, hooves stumbling as it harshly collided against the opposite wall, emitting a dull, heavy sound.
Nie Renwang, who had just landed and was recovering his strength, watched in stunned disbelief.
Although he had already experienced the ferocious power of the Black Wind Village Chief,
at this moment, to see such an enormous and fierce beast like the Fire Qilin being slammed against the wall and scraping it, the visual impact was just too profound.
The Fire Qilin, which had roamed the Martial World causing bloodshed for many years, when had it ever been thrown against a wall during a fight?
An amazing roar, accompanied by blazing flames, suddenly burst forth.
A surge of crimson energy rapidly condensed in the Fire Qilin’s throat, twisting its head, its fist-sized eyes imperiously staring down at the onrushing Jiang Dali, the pressure astonishing, suddenly about to open its mouth.
"Shut your mouth for Laozi!!"
Jiang Dali bellowed as he leaped into the air in one step, instantly closing the gap, with his palms thrusting left and right viciously.
Angry Nine Layered Stone Breaking!
The palm power of the Great Slapping Stone hand technique churned like grindstones, heavy palm shadows squeezing the air into vortices.
With the imposing force of a mountain crushing an egg, it harshly crushed down, striking the side of the Fire Qilin’s head as it turned to face the assault.
The Fire Qilin’s head jerked back, but it was still caught off guard and struck.
Such a tremendous impact forced its head to involuntarily tilt and smash against the wall, spurring a torrent of flames from its wide-open maw that surged into the pitch-black rock wall.
The intense heat, accompanied by the crimson flame flow, erupted instantaneously, turning the rock wall to magma-like fluid that trickled down in the blink of an eye.
"Sweeping Thousands of Army!"
At that moment, Nie Renwang charged again. A brightly shining Snow Blade Qi viciously struck the Fire Qilin’s sturdy body, cleaving scales apart and causing blood to spurt.
The Fire Qilin, unable to contain its fury, bellowed and furiously pounded its hooves. The flames around its body dramatically surged, brutally pushing Jiang Dali aside and slamming him to the ground.
Opening its massive jaws, it aimed to ferociously bite down on his neck.
Jiang Dali roared, stretching out his arms, hands spreading wide to grasp the Fire Qilin’s fierce maw.
Immediately, a formidable biting force combined with a heavy impact exploded forth.
Jiang Dali’s body violently shook as the Fire Qilin drove him across the ground, sparking flames, plowing deep furrows into the earth.
Such immense strength, it was something Jiang Dali had seen only rarely in his life. He couldn’t help but curse as he was pushed to use all his strength, his saliva almost forming into bubbles from the pressure in his mouth.
Using his waist as a pivot, his entire body’s strength suddenly converged into his arms, radiating brilliant golden light.
The veins in his arms bulged as if they were about to burst, his muscles twisted up, somehow slowly prying the Fire Qilin’s gaping mouth apart.
His chainmail gloves directly melted into iron under the pressure of the fierce flames and immense force.
Jiang Dali felt an excruciating burning pain in his hands and immediately executed the Great Absorption Technique in full force, in conjunction with the Undying Seal Technique to counter it.
At once, the Fire Spirit Power within the Fire Qilin rapidly began to be sucked into his body, reversing the flow.
The Fire Qilin’s lantern-like eyes momentarily flickered with panic.
It was that move again, one that filled it with unspeakable horror and irritation. It could feel the power inside its body diminishing. Even the blood from its wounds seemed to be drawn out by the Absorption Force.
"Brother Jiang!! Hang in there, ahh!"
Nie Renwang roared as he rushed from behind, his blade fiercely chopping at the Fire Qilin’s rear.
The Fire Qilin let out an angry roar, its front hooves viciously stomping toward Jiang Dali, desperately shaking its head, trying to fling him off.
"Think you can throw me off? No way!!"
Jiang Dali, tossed into mid-air, shouted harshly as his body flipped, his legs suddenly landing on the Fire Qilin’s fiery body. His two thick legs brutally clamped down, locking it in place.
"Way to go, little brother!"
Nie Renwang’s eyes lit up as he roared and charged, his blade brutally chopping down on the Fire Qilin’s head.
Sparks flew instantly, and the Fire Qilin’s head dropped from the impact.
The roar grew even stronger.
Jiang Dali felt an incomparably scorching and painful sensation coming from his crotch.
The Divine Armor turned a scalding red, nearly melting, and streams of alarming Qi-Blood damage emerged from the top of his head.
Had he not been in the state of the Golden Bell Unbreakable, his body would probably have already been burned to a crisp, and the eight liang of flesh beneath him turned into roast chicken.
"Laozi’s about to be scorched to death, hurry up and chop at the scales on its forehead! That’s the weak spot!"
Jiang Dali bellowed, biting through the Medicine Pearl in his mouth that contained thousand-year-old yellow ginseng juice, while his arms fiercely pulled the Fire Qilin’s massive jaw and his legs locked tightly around the Fire Qilin, stubbornly holding on. An incredibly savage and fierce force, like that of a wild elephant, burst forth from his robust body.
Nie Renwang, prompted by the reminder, immediately executed the Red Peach Blossom from the Proud Cold Six Skills with a chop.
However, the Fire Qilin’s agile dodge ability allowed its massive body to move like a phantom and evade the attack.
Bright red flames filled the tunnel, and the Fire Qilin once again transformed into a giant ball of fire, rampaging madly.
It sent Nie Renwang flying along with his blade.
The rock walls crumbled like tofu dregs against the impact, shattering.
It was about to charge brutally into the rock walls, to smash Jiang Dali to death in the process.
Just at that moment, a "ding" sounded!
A mystical and light zither sound suddenly entered the intense and frantic battlefield.
It was as if, amidst a stormy sea with thunder and lightning intermingled, a seagull dancing with the lightning had suddenly appeared, shaking the human spirit.
The next moment, clearer zither sounds came rapidly, transforming into waves of sound that were invisible to the naked eye, resonating across the fierce battleground.
With the transmission of the sound waves, a strange power that relaxed the human spirit, as if possessing magic, quickly released.
The originally fierce Fire Qilin’s running momentum gradually slowed down.
The blood-red in its violent and evil eyes also seemed to grow weaker.
But soon, the fierceness in its eyes strengthened once again.
"Qingqing has started!"
Jiang Dali’s expression shifted slightly, receiving the signal from the zither sound, he immediately let go and took out two clumps of clay-like objects from his bosom, stuffing them into his ears, and exerted full power in his ear canals.
Almost at the same time, the zither music also changed, becoming more powerful.
It was as if a hurricane had suddenly arisen, the sound waves burst forth, with ripples visibly pulsating from a distance in the tunnel.
Like concentric circles, the music carried within it joyous melodies, as if symbolizing some kind of ceremonial sound, as if awakening the innate goodness once possessed by the Fallen Fire Qilin, back when it was a spiritual beast!
The fierce gleam in the Fire Qilin’s eyes gradually retracted again, its movements slowed more and more, almost stopping in place.
Back in the original tunnel.
Murong Qingqing sat cross-legged on the ground, her slender waist like a willow, with the ancient purple-brown zither laid across her legs, her slim hands with black nails rapidly flicking across the strings.
The ripples of sound waves emanated from her as the center, spreading out like concentric circles, and with just a slight vibration of the strings, they produced infinitely wonderful sounds.
Bai Ting, who was guarding beside her even with earplugs on, couldn’t help but be emotionally affected, his eyes filled with a miserable look.
However, it was clear that Murong Qingqing was also under great pressure at this moment, with fine beads of sweat on her smooth forehead. The Heavenly Person Aura she exuded was incredibly strong, as she focused wholeheartedly on playing the Heavenly Demon Song.
Just then, another violent roar accompanied by a strong burst of Saber Qi shock erupted from the depths of the cave.
A terrifying roar of rage suddenly resounded again, causing the entire cave to tremble as if it were quaking.
Murong Qingqing’s complexion turned pale, and blood spilled from the corner of her mouth.
But her eyes grew even more determined, even full of a defiant and sinister gleam. Her ten fingers moved abruptly, and the music swelled even greater, solid sound waves booming so intensely that the surrounding rock walls trembled and burst.
Instantly, the raging roar from the depths of the cave again weakened.
However, in the next moment, with a "clang," all the strings of the zither snapped and sprang up.
Murong Qingqing let out a pained cry, blood streaming from her fingers, as she spat out a mouthful of fresh blood onto the ancient zither cradled in her arms.
Bai Ting, who was beside her, snapped out of his stupor, his eyes widening in shock as he looked at Murong Qingqing spitting blood.
"Hurry and go! The Fire Qilin cannot be suppressed much longer,"
Murong Qingqing said weakly, her head drenched in sweat as she struggled to catch her breath.
Bai Ting’s heart tightened, and he immediately helped Murong Qingqing to her feet and swiftly made their escape.
Just as the two stumbled out of Lingyun Cave, two more bedraggled figures, smoking all over, appeared in the passageway and rushed towards the entrance with the speed of a lightning bolt.
"Brother Jiang, you’re too ruthless, actually chasing the Fire Qilin to bite off a scale from its body. Now that beast is aware of the pain and will definitely charge out again,"
Nie Renwang complained while running, one of his arms already broken.
He had initially planned to shake off the Fire Qilin and delve deeper into the Lingyun Cave to see if he could find any trace of his ancestors, but now it was impossible, too dangerous.
Jiang Dali was charred all over, no longer able to maintain the state of the Golden Bell Unbreakable.
His entire divine armor had melted into lumps of iron fused to his body, as he clenched a scale in his hand and ran wildly, shouting, "We miscalculated this time. The Fire Qilin is too strong. Even with the two of us joining forces, it’s tough to defeat it. Let’s retreat for now and return another time."
A furious roar erupted once more from the depths of the cave.
Bright red flames quickly filled the passageway behind them.
The walls of the passageway shook violently.
Amidst the frenzied roars of the Fire Qilin, a massive fireball rolled and bounced inside the tunnel like a boulder, upward and downward, at a tremendous speed, with the rage of world-ending fury, chasing after Jiang Dali and the others towards the entrance.
Jiang Dali, smoking all over, charged out of Lingyun Cave and appeared before the astonished gaze of over two thousand Players, bellowing with the force of a Lion Roar!
"Folks! The Fire Dog is about to come out!"
The Players were momentarily stunned, then suddenly broke out into shouts, some shocked and some excited.
Immediately, hundreds of Players armed with bows and arrows readied themselves, drawing their bows and aiming their arrows.
Seeing this situation, Jiang Dali’s kind reminder for the Players to quickly scatter could no longer escape his lips.
Indeed, the Players were all a bunch of willing cannon fodder ready to embrace death!
