Chapter 5122 Violently Beating the Qilin
The Heavenly Flame Qilin’s flame sphere was enormous, and what Huo Linger shot out was a tiny flame pearl, only about an inch long. Despite the vast difference in size, the pearl pierced straight through the ma.s.sive sphere.
“What?!”
Lu Fan’s expression completely changed, and those Earth Devils jumped in shock, unable to believe their eyes.
The Heavenly Flame Qilin’s attack contained its full power and all the energy it had absorbed from the outside world, nearly draining the world’s flame qi. Such a powerful attack could instantly annihilate a three-vein Heaven Saint.
Yet, Huo Linger’s small attack effortlessly pierced through the terrifying flame sphere. As it was pierced, the sphere’s energy rapidly became unbalanced. It warped violently before suddenly exploding and sending a ma.s.sive flame wave into the sky.
Huo Linger’s flame bead didn’t stop after piercing the Heavenly Flame Qilin’s attack. Its speed and power barely diminished, and it reached the Heavenly Flame Qilin in an instant.
The Heavenly Flame Qilin clearly hadn’t expected its full-power attack to be broken just like that. By the time it reacted, the flame bead was already right in front of its head.
All its scales stood on end. This wasn’t a divine ability but an instinctual reaction toward mortal danger. It twisted its head, causing the flame bead to strike its dragon horn instead.
The Heavenly Flame Qilin was born with dragon horns on its head. That was the toughest part of its body and could be considered its innate weapon.
BOOM!
The flame bead struck the horn, and the bead’s power instantly erupted.
Golden Sun Flame soared into the heavens, filling this s.p.a.ce. Within these endless flames, the Heavenly Flame Qilin roared in pain as its dragon horn flew out of the flames.
Huo Linger’s attack had directly broken the dragon horn. Seeing it, Long Chen was instantly moved.
Before Long Chen could react, a small Golden Crow flew out of the flames and swallowed the dragon horn, flying off with it.
The Heavenly Flame Qilin had lost its dragon horn. With half its face soaked in blood, it almost went crazy.
Huo Linger raised her hand, and that small Golden Crow handed the dragon horn to her. The Heavenly Flame Qilin roared at her, causing her to laugh. She said, “You want your dragon horn back? That’ll be up to whether or not you have the ability.”
Huo Linger waved the dragon horn at it and tossed it straight into the primal chaos s.p.a.ce.
Losing its connection to its dragon horn, the Heavenly Flame Qilin raised its head and roared. Flames exploded out of it, and its aura rose to a new level. At this moment, blood-colored flames burst out of its body.
“It ignited its essence blood?” Long Chen was startled.
BOOM!
The s.p.a.ce behind it quivered, and an enormous qilin appeared, one that filled the entire sky.
This was its manifestation. Once it was summoned, an aura from the primal chaos era unfurled.
BOOM!
The Heavenly Flame Qilin pounced on Huo Linger, arriving in front of her in an instant. Its remaining horn pierced straight toward her.
In response, Huo Linger raised her hand and summoned a s.h.i.+eld. This s.h.i.+eld, which had sent the Heavenly Flame Qilin flying last time, instantly exploded. The impact flung Huo Linger into the distance.
The Heavenly Flame Qilin roared again.
“Nope, nope, I’m not giving it back to you! Moreover, I’m taking your other dragon horn!” shouted Huo Linger. She pointed the Golden Crow Coiling Dragon Staff at the Heavenly Flame Qilin.
BOOM!
The Heavenly Flame Qilin roared furiously. It stamped on the air, and countless afterimages of it appeared. It pounced on her, using its horn, hooves, and tail to strike her. Every attack caused the world to shake. Having lost one of its dragon horns, the Heavenly Flame Qilin seemed to have gone insane.
Huo Linger had the Golden Crow Coiling Dragon Staff in her right hand and was forming seals with her left hand. Golden Crows flew around her. In front of the berserk Heavenly Flame Qilin, Huo Linger was getting compet.i.tive. Refusing to take a single step back, she chose to face it head-on.
Wielding the flame staff in her right hand and unleas.h.i.+ng various divine abilities with her left hand, Huo Linger launched a mult.i.tude of attacks. She summoned s.h.i.+elds, condensed light-swords, and called over Golden Crow grand formations. In an instant, the Heavenly Flame Qilin was forced onto the backfoot.
The Heavenly Flame Qilin was formidable, but Huo Linger still outmatched it. In terms of actual power and combat experience, especially the latter, it was inferior to Huo Linger. It sustained painful wounds multiple times, making it roar in agony.
In any case, the power of its physical body was absolutely terrifying. Any other lifeforms struck in a vital spot by Huo Linger would have been defeated. However, the Heavenly Flame Qilin’s scales blocked eighty percent of her power, allowing it to survive what should have been a fatal blow. This resilience was practically heaven-defying.
However, even with its incredible defense, it was at an absolute disadvantage. Under Huo Linger’s barrage of attacks, it wouldn’t last much longer.
Lu Fan had never imagined that his strongest contractual divine beast would be suppressed by a flame spirit.
The Heavenly Flame Qilin suddenly let out a furious roar that made Huo Linger chuckle. She didn’t stop attacking as she said, “Hehe, you’re using psychological tactics now? It’s useless. I won’t return the dragon horn to you.”
The Heavenly Flame Qilin was actually cursing Huo Linger for being unfair, demanding her to return its dragon horn for a fair fight. Huo Linger naturally didn’t fall for it.
Seeing that the Heavenly Flame Qilin was on the verge of complete defeat, Lu Fan finally waved his hand, and a sword appeared in his grasp. However, he didn’t go to a.s.sist the Heavenly Flame Qilin. Instead, he directly attacked Long Chen.
Long Chen was prepared. Seeing Lu Fan’s sword coming, he immediately stepped aside, moving like a phantom and easily dodging it. However, Long Chen was shocked to find that despite clearly dodging it, a b.l.o.o.d.y line appeared on his chest.
