Chapter 1488: Chapter 698: Qilin (Part 2)

Meanwhile, the Gifted Man showed no mercy, charging straight in with fist strikes, sprinting even faster than Tie Dan could fly. His intense, thunderous blows chased after with sonic booms, pinning Tie Dan in mid-air with brutal continuous hits! His feet couldn’t touch the ground!

Luckily, the opponent only targeted Tie Dan’s head, deliberately avoiding the body to prevent organ damage. Tie Dan had just learned advanced Power Absorption and Force Transformation techniques from Cang Song, so he managed to block with his hands and temporarily hold on.

Yes, it was indeed very strong, this Gifted Man could completely overpower Tie Dan.

Of course, at first glance, Tie Dan could see that the Gifted Man was truly powerful. Although still young, likely recently born, his Divine Thought and Dao Body might not compare to those Great Demon Gods that shattered the Void over millennia, but his combat power was not inferior in the least.

Indeed, in this world, combat power and realm cultivation are not directly linked to age. The older generation may have the advantage of an early start, but ultimately, it depends on fate. A common fish living for ten thousand years is still a common fish, while Brother Billa was born as Brother Billa.

At first glance, the opponent’s Qi Power seemed only at the Nascent Soul Level, but undoubtedly, it was self-constrained at the Nascent Soul Peak. Though the Gang Fist thrown was only a hundredfold strength, each punch was instantly launched and struck, controlled with ease, and the whole drill flowed seamlessly with no flaws.

Clearly, this is no naturally birthed infant qilin, but an elite trained through special education and battlefield experience, honing martial arts combat skills to the peak, completely mastering personal power as a Martial God.

Moreover, what’s more impressive isn’t just combat experience or martial prowess but the war body used by the opponent.

Indeed, if an ordinary demon, a common Divine Beast, a regular flesh, couldn’t sustain such long continuous exertion, this intense prolonged aggressive assault, high load physical impacts, especially using the Gang Fist such powerful output fist technique, even with Tie Dan’s King’s Flesh, the load has already reached the point of needing breathing Qi Replenishment, cooling off heat dissipation.

However, the opponent’s continuous combo had no wavering. From beginning to end, the strikes continued without any pause for breathing or respite.

So undoubtedly, it certainly is a Qilin, but not just any Qilin. At least, it’s definitely not a toy pet, nor a decorative Divine Beast made by some company to enhance the Immortal World setting, but a battlefield-customized combat body!

Chimera!

"Boom!"

"Boom boom boom boom boom!"

Hit directly.

After blocking hundreds of punches, Tie Dan took a punch to the face, and his entire body spiraled out, embedded into a wall with a crash. Thankfully, the King’s Skin was thick enough, or just that one punch would grind all the flesh to pulp, smashing it into paste.

"Get back here!"

The Gifted Man gave no quarter, chasing after, reaching to grab Tie Dan’s head, clearly intending to yank it straight off his body.

Yet Tie Dan laughed.

What are you laughing for?

The Gifted Man was initially puzzled, but upon scanning with his Primordial Spirit, he suddenly realized and didn’t even care about Tie Dan anymore, halting his momentum against the rock wall with a "clang," and sharply turned to rush back!

Indeed! Waited a full incense stick’s worth! Not just one caught up!

Taking advantage of their fistfight! A masked figure leap out from the shadows! Waving a hand for a strike! Aimed at the King’s Skull embedded in the ground!

"Thief——!"

The Gifted Man was shocked! Just about to rescue! Suddenly his back leg was grabbed by Tie Dan! Pulled back fiercely!

"Bastard!"

"Boom!"

"Ao ao!"

Meanwhile, the King’s Skull had been hacked away with a hand-knife! Smashed bloodily with cracked skull, blood streaming down like tears, wailing in agony!

"Your Majesty!!"

The Gifted Man was furious! Kicking Tie Dan away, rushing forward to snatch the king!

"Fool! To usurp you need the Imperial Sword!"

Upon hearing Tie Dan’s shout, the masked figure realized too, leaping to seize the treasure sword sticking out of the ground, swung a reverse blade toward the captured King’s Skull, then another claw towards the back of their head, twisting towards the qilin!

"Swish swish swish!"

"Ding ding ding!"

Thus, the Gifted Man fought fiercely barehanded against the masked swordsman. Meanwhile, Tie Dan didn’t join in the excitement, crawling out from the wall to properly put on the King’s Skin, King’s Bag, King’s Bone.

Indeed, this masked swordsman was that Mystic Sect person who previously assassinated Lord of Dui Country. An incense stick’s time, not only the Qilin can catch up, let alone Mystic Sect members. Judging by the actions and motives of the opponent, his goal was to usurp the king, to slay the King of Dui, eliminate this piece, break through Kunlun Pass, to prevent the remnants of Zhongxuan Sect from being encircled and slaughtered.

If he could succeed, assassinating a king, throwing Dui State into chaos, he would provide Mystic Sect a retreat route. Even if unsuccessful, even just injuring would weaken the Royal Decree as much as possible. Therefore, when Tie Dan created the opportunity, naturally they wouldn’t keep hiding. Seeing the Gang Fist confrontation here was deadlocked, he immediately jumped out to stab the king.

Unfortunately, the assassin was a bit too hasty, Tie Dan had thrown the Emperor Sword at the door, clearly just fetch the sword to usurp would suffice, but insisted on acting hastily, thus missing the chance, got the head snatched back by the Gifted Man. However, this Dui King truly had the mandate of heaven, even left with just the head, the fate had not ended...
