Chapter 1520: Chapter 1517: Untitled

Next, Wu Jun entered. He wasn’t afraid but wanted to observe Kuang Chenggong to prevent him from doing something rash. Otherwise, if everyone is inside and trapped by him, there will be no chance to fight back.

Kuang Chenggong was a bit frustrated seeing that nothing happened. He originally planned to have the Fire Qilin weaken their strength, but now his plan had fallen through, and someone else picked up the advantage and became the leader, which made him very upset.

Li Wei and the others followed inside. The entrance wasn’t big, barely wide enough for three people side by side, but it was very tall, about seven or eight meters.

Chen Tianlong led the way at the front. On the way, he could feel a warm residual heat, which must be from the Fire Qilin appearing earlier.

Not long after, they reached the middle of the cave, where it opened into a relatively wide space—about one to two hundred square meters—and the ceiling was very high, over ten meters.

In front of them were five cave entrances, appearing a bit dim with no light.

"Chen Tianlong, with so many entrances ahead, which one should we take?" Wu Guangzu glanced at the three cave entrances with a furrowed brow.

Chen Tianlong didn’t speak but instead walked over directly. He stood briefly at each cave entrance and then turned to everyone and said: "Set up a formation here. I’ll go in and lure out the Fire Qilin."

Everyone was stunned, thinking they must have misheard him. With three cave entrances here, how could he decide so quickly, and yet go in alone?

"Heh, no need to guess, guys. Just look at these cave entrances, only two or three are wide enough. If we encounter the Fire Qilin later, how will we escape? Also, I’ve already determined which of these entrances it could be, it’s that one."

Chen Tianlong pointed to the first entrance on the left.

"Chen Tianlong, how can you be so sure it’s this entrance?"

Wu Jun was puzzled, thinking Chen Tianlong was guessing randomly. According to his understanding, Chen Tianlong shouldn’t be that incredible, just practicing the Nine Yang Celestial Dragon Technique, not particularly superior, even though he himself mastered the Heart Burning Technique, which wasn’t as impressive.

"Ah, have you all forgotten the traits of the Fire Qilin?"

Chen Tianlong didn’t directly say it; instead, he asked in return.

"Oh? Are you suggesting the Fire... Oh, I understand."

Wu Jun seemed to have some realization, then smiled slightly and said: "Truly impressive, Chen Tianlong, your meticulous thinking earns my respect."

Chen Tianlong nodded and didn’t speak further, but walked directly towards the entrance.

"Chen Tianlong, be careful," Wu Guangzu called out worriedly.

Chen Tianlong turned back, smiled slightly, nodded in acknowledgment, and then turned back and quickly stepped into the entrance.

It turned out that when Chen Tianlong waited briefly before each entrance earlier, he had a reason. He was using his sensitive perception, able to distinguish even the slightest differences.

So, he felt a warm breeze from the first entrance, undoubtedly where the Fire Qilin was, while others lacked this ability.

Even if they had the ability, it wouldn’t be as strong, nor could they be a hundred percent sure it was the Fire Qilin’s location.

Following the entrance, Chen Tianlong quickly entered the inner cave, feeling a burning sensation in the air, somewhat daunting.

However, Chen Tianlong gritted his teeth and walked in, having come this far, he couldn’t give up halfway. To face Kuang Chenggong and the forces behind him, he had to use this trial to enhance himself, cross into the Golden Core Stage, and seize the opportunity to become an Immortal, the only way to defeat Kuang Chenggong’s army and restore peace to Huaxia.

Soon, Chen Tianlong reached a T-junction. Here, there were three paths, and in the middle was a small room. Chen Tianlong observed around but still did not see the Fire Qilin, feeling somewhat vexed.

"Fire Qilin, can you hear me? I’m not here to harm you; I’m just here to borrow a scale."

Chen Tianlong was unsure if the Fire Qilin could understand human speech but recalled that Divine Tiger could understand, so surely a powerful Spirit Beast could as well.

"Roar..."

As soon as Chen Tianlong finished speaking, a loud roar came from one of the entrances. As he was about to check which entrance it was, he suddenly noticed something fiery coming from the entrance behind him, startling him.

Anyone else would’ve been caught off guard, but as soon as Chen Tianlong entered, he began using the Nine Yang Celestial Dragon Technique Heart Method, making his sensing ability very strong.

He quickly leapt, dodging the attack. But just as he landed, he saw a huge, fiery-red object charging out. Chen Tianlong knew this was the legendary Fire Qilin.

"Ah?"

Though Chen Tianlong understood the situation, he couldn’t help but be surprised at how massive the Fire Qilin was.

It filled the entire entrance, a seven or eight-meter-high and three-meter-wide entrance entirely filled by such a colossal Spirit Beast.

Despite the shock, Chen Tianlong immediately reacted, hurriedly retreating because he realized it was indeed an enraged Fire Qilin that wouldn’t adhere to his words.

Though Chen Tianlong ran quickly, he couldn’t match the Fire Qilin’s speed, being a four-legged, highly powerful Spirit Beast.

As the Fire Qilin was about to catch up with Chen Tianlong, ready to strike, Chen Tianlong transformed into a streak of Sword Qi and initiated Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Root. This was a last resort, using the technique’s three-second invincibility to dodge the threat; otherwise, given the Fire Qilin’s might, one swipe could be fatal.

Indeed, the Fire Qilin was startled by Chen Tianlong’s sudden counterattack and quickly halted, starting to defend.

Though Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Root posed little harm to the tough-skinned and thick-fleshed Fire Qilin, Chen Tianlong’s formidable strength and the Dragon Slayer Sword’s Heaven-defying boost shocked the Fire Qilin.

But not for its timely defense, it might have been injured considerably. Hence, the Fire Qilin became cautious, never having imagined a human possessing such energy capable of wounding it.

Taking advantage of the Fire Qilin’s caution, Chen Tianlong urgently landed and then fled speedily, causing the Fire Qilin, realising Chen Tianlong’s fear, to unrestrainedly continue the chase.

The crowd anxiously waiting at the entrance for Chen Tianlong’s news suddenly heard movement from the cave and quickly became alert. They saw Chen Tianlong racing out but didn’t know what had happened until hearing the loud noise behind.

"Everyone, prepare; the Fire Qilin is chasing out,"

Chen Tianlong shouted hastily to everyone.

The crowd hurriedly fortified at the entrance, awaiting the Fire Qilin’s appearance, but suddenly fire emerged from one of the caves directly charging forward.
