Chapter 1489: Chapter 698: Qilin_3

At this moment, the assassin held his sword and got entangled with the Qilin. After a round of fighting, in less than ten exchanges, it became apparent there was a problem.

This person’s skills were not up to par.

It wasn’t that Tie Dan was being picky, but truly, from the standards of the Mystic Sect, it was completely unqualified. Probably all his energy was spent on Alchemy and cooking. His swordsmanship was certainly not up to a hundred years of practice. His routine sword techniques were full of weaknesses, like being out of sync with the Qilin man’s movement technique, only hitting empty spaces, essentially just fancy but impractical moves. Even with a treasure sword, he was by no means a match.

Sure enough, in less than ten exchanges, the assassin’s Emperor Sword was snatched away empty-handed! He even got two swift counterattacks, losing his head and feet, becoming a human stick!

The Qilin man held the sword in one hand and the king in the other, turning to look at Tie Dan.

Tie Dan crouched with his head in his hands, hiding in the corner of the wall.

The Qilin man paused, looked down at the assassin on the ground, and to his surprise, instead of bleeding, a cocoon-like object rolled out... Another one!?!?

"Boom!!!!"

Yes, it was another 90-model single-soldier-style magnesium-based dual-phase super-pressure incendiary explosive directly hitting. This time, it exploded underground, truly unavoidable, inescapable, could only be received with thick skin.

Fortunately, Tie Dan was prepared, knowing that although the 90-model single-soldier magnesium-based dual-phase super-pressure incendiary explosive was intimidating and powerful, in reality, it was quite cheap and affordable to manufacture; usually distributed to squads as a standardized single-soldier fortress assault weapon, small, lightweight, and easy to operate—just stuff it in a drone to self-destruct. Though it wasn’t clear where the enemy got such a weapon, typically a single-soldier ammo set is equipped with four linked rounds.

So when strategizing against it, one must always prepare for three more puppets carrying single-soldier explosives for a suicidal charge. Therefore, that Broom Star with the ill-fate hurriedly looked for a disaster to throw into to take shelter. He didn’t care about any nun shapes or monk skins, hurriedly gathered True Qi to protect his vital parts, tightly wrapping himself with the King’s Skin. Any high-aggravation targets like King’s Head and Emperor Sword were thrown off as far as possible at the first moment. Even if pinned against a wall getting his face beaten, he could never let his guard down, always ready to crawl and duck.

Ultimately, perseverance prevailed; this time, Tie Dan made it through again. The King’s Skin Sack was thoroughly roasted, burnt and ruined all over. One could say he truly bore the Heavenly Destiny; damn, it couldn’t even explode him apart.

But the Qilin had it rough; after all, with fierce output and no defense, trapped in a confined underground space, there was no time for Escape Skill, merely using his body to protect the King’s Head, thus exposed his original form.

With a body of a deer, tail of an ox, hooves of a horse, and rhinoceros horn, the body covered in flowing brocade patterns, scales revealing river map textures, horns split into nine branching curves, ridges like a suspended heavenly standard, eyes containing starlight brilliance, gazing soul-bound violet mist, with a hanging black jade necklace, breathing jade sound resonating gold.

The Guardian Divine Beast of the Nine Provinces and Twelve Countries, the guardian qilin, swayed its gigantic horn, lifting rubble and debris, standing up from the ruins four zhang tall, slowly walking out...

"Cough, cough, cough!"

"Crash!"

With a fit of violent coughing, jade-colored Qilin Blood gushed from its mouth and nose, drenching the King’s Head held in its mouth into a verdant shade.

The Qilin then slowly turned its head, seeing its own abdomen explicitly ruptured with a huge horrifying gash, intestines squeezing and bursting out of its body cavity, trailing on the ground.

Alright, honestly, just the explosion might have been bearable, but in the hasty moment, didn’t watch the sword, thus got the Emperor Sword blown over by the shockwave, slicing out its all organs...

"Now it’s my turn."

Then Tie Dan grabbed its horn, landing a punch right on its head.
