Chapter 1522: Chapter 1519: The Fierce Battle Against the Qilin Beast (Part 2)

"Senior Brother Wu, this Fire Qilin is really too strong. The three of us alone definitely can’t beat it. But our goal is just to get a few scales off its body as samples, we don’t need to care about anything else."

Chen Tianlong emphasized their mission. He hadn’t counted on Kuang Chenggong and the others to complete this job; in the end he still had to rely on himself.

"Hey, you two brothers, since it’s just us three now, let’s each take a direction, then think of a way to find an opening and grab the scales."

Shi Wenlong finally spoke. He felt that since they’d come, they might as well go all out.

Wu Guangzu and Chen Tianlong both nodded after hearing this. This Shi Wenlong wasn’t a bad guy.

From the moment they first entered the Immortal Demon Realm, they’d felt this person was pretty good. To dare defect to them right in front of Kuang Chenggong—how much courage did that take? Chen Tianlong felt he should properly make friends with this man.

"Alright, Wenlong, later we’ll coordinate closely. We have to get the scales off the Fire Qilin." Chen Tianlong said to Shi Wenlong.

The three quickly reached an agreement. By this time the Fire Qilin also began to rage. After breaking free of the long whip, it saw the three of them each occupying a direction and actually felt a bit of a headache, not knowing for the moment which one to attack first.

However, after pausing for half a breath, the Fire Qilin suddenly charged straight toward Chen Tianlong.

Its reasoning was simple: Chen Tianlong had hurt it the most and made it feel threatened. The other two were comparatively weaker. So the Fire Qilin intended to eliminate this major threat, Chen Tianlong, first, then slowly deal with the other two.

Seeing the Fire Qilin turn and charge in his direction, Chen Tianlong felt things take a bad turn. He hurriedly leapt up, directly entering Sword Flight, then circled at high speed around the Fire Qilin.

Meanwhile, Wu Guangzu and Shi Wenlong, standing at the other two sides, kept launching attacks. Sword Qi and the strikes of the long whip rained down relentlessly on the Fire Qilin. 𝘧𝓇ℯℴ𝓂

Suddenly, Chen Tianlong leapt off his sword and directly mounted the Fire Qilin’s back. But because the back of Qilin Mountain was extremely slick, he couldn’t get a firm grip. In his urgency, Chen Tianlong abruptly swung the Dragon Slayer Sword with all his strength and stabbed it into the Fire Qilin’s back.

"Roar....."

Hit by this sudden sword strike, the Fire Qilin howled in incomparable agony, while Chen Tianlong gripped the Dragon Slayer Sword, refusing to let go no matter how hard it thrashed and shook.

If not for the Dragon Slayer Sword’s ability to cut through anything, slicing iron like mud, an ordinary weapon simply couldn’t pierce its thick muscles. Now the Dragon Slayer Sword was wedged in firm and solid; without deliberately exerting strength to pull it out, it would be truly difficult to remove.

After taking Chen Tianlong’s attack, the Fire Qilin was in terrible pain and began spitting flames at the people around it, launching a frenzied assault.

"Everyone, be careful!"

Wu Guangzu shouted anxiously as he watched the berserk Fire Qilin. Off to the side, Wu Mengting and Pure Yang Feifei both backed away a bit. After exchanging a look, Shi Wenlong and Wu Guangzu suddenly sprang into a run and leapt up.

Although a Fire Qilin on a rampage was terrifying, it was precisely at this moment that they had a chance to get the scales. When an animal goes mad, its awareness is at its weakest. It just lashes out blindly and doesn’t have targeted strikes.

Unfortunately, just as Shi Wenlong got close, the Fire Qilin spat a Fire Bomb at him. He dodged in a hurry and was almost hit.

One had to know that in this state, the Fire Qilin was practically attacking with all its strength. If you were unlucky enough to get hit, you might die instantly on the spot, so Shi Wenlong also got quite a scare. Thankfully, his reaction was quick.

Seeing an opening, Wu Guangzu hurriedly leapt up and landed on the Fire Qilin’s rump, then slashed down with his blade. A piece of scale directly fell off to the ground.

"Roar....."

The Fire Qilin almost fainted from the pain. What the hell was going on? It knew its own body—it was supposed to be impervious to blades and spears, hard as steel. Why was it today being cut as easily as if it were a radish—stabbed here with a sword, sliced there with a blade?

The agony made the Fire Qilin violently thrash its body, and it finally flung both Chen Tianlong and Wu Guangzu off into the air.

However, at the instant he was thrown, Chen Tianlong’s hand clawed at the sword wound on the Fire Qilin, directly ripping off a piece of scale. At this moment the Fire Qilin’s eyes rolled back white, but it still forcibly endured the pain. Chen Tianlong, man and sword together, was hurled flying.

"Feifei, this is bad, Senior Brother Wu and Chen Tianlong have both been thrown! We have to go catch them. I’ll catch Wu Guangzu, you go catch Chen Tianlong."

Wu Mengting handed Chen Tianlong over to Feifei and went to save Third Senior Brother herself. This was also her way of giving Pure Yang Feifei more chances to interact with Chen Tianlong, a little detail even this she could think of. She really was a top-tier woman.

"Got it."

Pure Yang Feifei didn’t waste any time. She sprang into the air. Her Lightweight Skill was inherited from the Divine Sword Sect, and Lingyun Pavilion’s Lightweight Skill was the finest in the jianghu, ethereal like an immortal descending to earth.

Wu Guangzu’s position wasn’t very close to the leverage point, so the distance he was flung wasn’t very far. Wu Mengting leapt up and directly caught him in midair.

On the other side, however, Chen Tianlong had been right at the fulcrum, so he was flung very far.

But that wasn’t the main problem. The key was that the Fire Qilin had already gone mad and was charging with all its might in the direction Chen Tianlong was tumbling.

Pure Yang Feifei saw this and knew things were going south. She hastily sped up.

Chen Tianlong’s backward flight was too fast, and he’d been flung out while spinning, so he lost all sense of direction for a moment and couldn’t stabilize himself in time. However, he did activate the Nine Yang Celestial Dragon Technique, using Powerful Qi to protect his meridians.

But he had barely flown backward for half the distance when he realized the Fire Qilin had no intention of letting him go and was charging straight at him. At this moment he’d lost control and could only furrow his brows tightly.

Pure Yang Feifei was practically racing the Fire Qilin, almost neck and neck with it.

The Fire Qilin suddenly froze for a second when it noticed the girl beside it, feeling a strange fear, as if it had seen its master. A powerful fiery aura emanated from her, making it involuntarily shudder.

Even so, hatred still filled its heart. It ignored everything else and with a "whoosh" burst forward, preparing to launch a super-charged Fire Bomb right at Chen Tianlong’s chest to kill him in one blow.

"Roar...."

This thunderous roar was like it was shouting "Go die!" Immediately after, a huge Fire Attribute energy ball blasted out of its mouth, several times stronger than those earlier Fire Bombs.

Never mind Chen Tianlong, even it wasn’t sure it could withstand a hit like that; even if it survived, it would be half dead.

That surge of energy shot out like an arrow from the bow, hurtling straight toward Chen Tianlong. It was about to slam into him when a white figure suddenly flashed out, like a fairy descending to the mortal world.

She wrapped an arm around Chen Tianlong in one smooth motion, and with a faint smile, she seemed completely unaware of the deadly danger looming right behind them.

"Feifei, watch out!"

Chen Tianlong had already wrapped himself in Powerful Qi for protection. Even if he got hit, at worst he’d be seriously injured; he could then fake death and take the chance to heal, maybe slowly recover. But he hadn’t expected Pure Yang Feifei to appear in front of him at that exact moment.
