Chapter 618: Strong VS Strong
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The Fire Qilin was a fire creature of the world, and its control over fire allowed no fire to hurt it, only others!
The flames that Happy pushed back with two palm strikes could do nothing to the Fire Qilin…
But when the flames were pushed back, it made the Fire Qilin, who had a temper as hot as flames, feel extremely humiliated and angry. Its loud and sonorous cry echoed in the tunnel again, and the stones on the wall fell down while trembling.
Happy stood where he was, and with one scoop at the air, two dragon-shaped vortices gathered together to form a small dragon-shaped qi force. He closed his eyes and sensed the condition of the flames that had yet to disappear.
The tangible flames could not block Happy’s senses.
Suddenly…
Whoosh!
The Fire Qilin charged out of the scorching flames. It seemed to be slightly faster than before.
“It’s serious now?”
Happy knew that it was like that because the Fire Qilin had been intercepted a few times, and from its initial playful chase, it had gradually turned to truly want to kill Happy.
Even though the Fire Qilin’s presence was terrifying, it was not that intimidating for Happy, who was a veteran who had faced the Fire Qilin multiple times in his previous life.
He pushed forward with one hand.
“ROAR!!”
The dragon-shaped qi force charged out fiercely.
Once it was struck twice with Emperor Shocks World, the flames around the Fire Qilin became slightly fainter, especially at the part where it was injured.
The dragon-shaped qi force crashed against the Fire Qilin’s scale armor.
Both sides moved very quickly!
The Fire Qilin could sense the threat contained within the dragon-shaped qi flow, but it continued charging forward without avoiding it.
But it did not know that its actions were precisely what Happy wanted.
The third palm strike hit the sword gash violently, and it affected the wound the Fire Qilin had suffered previously, causing it pain. It roared, but unexpectedly, the fourth strike seemed to come out of nowhere, and it crashed against the sword gash once more.
Clang!
Clang!
Once Happy struck the original spot twice in succession, he quickly realized that the greenish-white scale on the Fire Qilin’s forehead turned to a faint shade of black.
‘This is a good chance!’
He hit it four times.
If he hit that spot a few more times, the scale might fall.
Compared to Fire Qilin’s Blood, the value of Fire Qilin Scales was also very shocking, especially when Happy had a middle-grade divine weapon—Heavenly Silk King Ice Gloves. Once he refined it, it would become a treasure that would not lose to Dragon Saber.
He could also refine Dragon Saber to create a matchless weapon!
“Roar!”
When the Fire Qilin saw that the human before its eyes actually had the courage to rush over, it flew into a rage.
However, Happy’s fifth and sixth palm strikes contained very astonishing power. The damage was far above Emperor Shocks World, and it was infinitesimally close to an Inaction Realm martial artist’s combat strength. He struck with his palms simultaneously, and the Fire Qilin’s immovable body finally shuddered a little from the blows that contained the power of Inaction Realm. It took two small steps back.
Thud! Thud!
When Happy noticed that the Fire Qilin took a few steps back because of the force of the impact, his expression changed.
Without another word, he turned tail and ran. He no longer cared about continuing to increase his strength via the profound secret of Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms.
Boom!
The Fire Qilin behind him turned into a ball of raging flames. It kicked its feet furiously and chased after Happy without caring about anything else. It was like a huge fireball filled with a domineering aura that could destroy everything.
The Fire Qilin was now completely enraged…
Moving back was a humiliation that the Fire Qilin would never forgive.
Happy could no longer care about anything else. He increased his speed to the max and circulated his Nine Yang Divine Skill to the limit. At the fastest speed he could manage, he sensed the situation ahead of him and chose the best paths to take. Then, like an arrow fired from a bow, he instantly charged dozens of feet ahead.
His situation was no joke.
The result of angering the Fire Qilin was the Fire Qilin dashing forward madly!
It would turn into scorching flames and charge forward like a tank. It would not be affected by any attacks and would not be damaged. The Fire Qilin’s charge would also deliver a physical impact if it hit a person, and the flames would burn that person. The extreme heat and powerful shock was something that even Shi Zhixuan would not dare face head-on.
Happy did not want to die just yet.
He charged through the narrow tunnel which had a lot of twists and turns. The Fire Qilin was like a fireball that pursued him with loud and rapid footsteps. Wherever it went, the walls of the tunnel were scorched black.
At some unknown point in time, the area around them became hotter.
The flames around the Fire Qilin did not reduce, but increased, and the heat also kept on increasing. It occasionally showed its head, and when it did, a hint of disdain and mockery flashed briefly past its large eyes.
The distance between the two continued decreasing…
But they were also getting closer to the hot tunnel.
The increase in temperature would allow the Fire Qilin to become faster, and it would gain a lot of stamina. It would have an endless supply of energy!
But it knew that the tunnel was a nightmarish existence to others. The high heat had the effect of evaporating qi, so while his power would increase, his opponent’s power would decrease. There were countless people who had been reduced to ashes when the Fire Qilin chased them into the tunnel.
However, the Fire Qilin gradually noticed that the situation was off.
Even as the temperature around it quickly increased and the tunnel turned a very clear shade of red, the person running in front of it did not show signs of running out of energy and slowing down. It was as if the high heat around him did not pose any threat for him!
What was stranger still was that when some of the flames and heat around the invader enveloped him, it was as if a strange power extended out from his body and sucked in that heat, as if it were a whirlpool. It also formed a faint red membrane around the person’s body, making it look as if he was dressed in a beautiful and dazzling red robe.
The Fire Qilin made no sound.
This discovery surprised it, but also made it indignant and furious.
It had thought that it could catch up to the invader in the tunnel and completely rip him to shreds for challenging its might, but the person was as nimble as a monkey and his speed did not decrease. It even increased with time, and once he gained a certain increase in speed, the distance between them remained at around ninety-eight feet.
They were about to reach the exit, and the Fire Qilin howled in an incredibly indignant manner. The flames around it continued to swell up and burn furiously as if it wanted to blend into one with the flames in the tunnel.
“Quick!”
“Hurry up and come out!”
The exit of the tunnel was in sight. Phantasmal Shadow and the others stood outside it and shouted at Happy.
When they saw that the Fire Qilin was drawing closer to Happy, they became incredibly nervous.
However…
‘What a pity!’
Happy sighed.
If he had not been unable to control his strength in time and provoked the Fire Qilin, he might have actually had a chance to extract some Fire Qilin Blood or a Fire Qilin Scale.
A small error could lead to a gigantic mistake.
“Go!”
Once Happy rushed out of the tunnel, he rushed unhesitatingly into the ice world next door that exuded a terrifying chill.
Happy shuddered on the spot when he switched from an extremely hot environment to an extremely cold one!
However, after he circulated his Nine Yang Divine Skill once, a warm sensation instantly filled his body, and he was not at all affected by the outside world.
Boom!
The Fire Qilin’s flames slammed against the entrance. They instantly became weaker and extinguished, which revealed the Fire Qilin’s majestic and huge body. Clearly, it was affected by the difference in temperature. It quickly retracted its claws warily while howling repeatedly as it watched with indignation as Happy and his group rushed into the world it did not dare to enter.
