Chapter 276: The Kylin Evil and the Kylin Gang

Translator: Transn Editor: Transn

What kind of creature was the Evil Fire Kylin? Junior Leopard did not know, but he knew that he would be killed if he did not think of something.

He did not want to experience death.

A piercing pain caused by his skeleton being fractured went through his entire body and he could not even smoothly operate his Internal Qi.

Without thinking, he started the Snake-like Breath Holding Skill and held his breath like a corpse.

Seeing Junior Leopard lying on the ground without any breath, the Evil Fire Kylin was a little confused and slightly shook its big head. The severely wounded Junior Leopard clearly felt a giant and eccentric energy sweeping over his body, as if he was being scanned by something.

“Divine thoughts?” Junior Leopard was a little bit shocked, but soon he discarded that possibility. Perhaps when Qi Power and thought reached a certain degree, a substantive effect could be formed. However, divine thoughts…

His divine thoughts were strong enough to scan within a certain range, but he could not use them if he wanted to achieve anything substantial.

“Damn it! It knows that I’m alive?” Junior Leopard was worried. This kylin was so strong that even a Level Nine expert could not be its rival. Indeed, even a Level Nine expert could not make Zhou Bao be half-dead with just a casual snarl like it had.

“Shit! Am I really so unlucky? I just ran for my life, only to meet a kylin whose strength is equal to someone in the Metaphysical Realm. That Raging Fire Ancestor has possessed the earth vein for many years. Why hadn’t he come across it before?” thought Junior Leopard.

It was obvious that the Snake-like Breath Holding Skill was much more magical than his imagination. Even if the Evil Fire Kylin had strength, it was not aware that there was something wrong with Junior Leopard.

“I would be bound to die this time!”

Because the Evil Fire Kylin could not feel Junior Leopard’s spirit, it slowly walked down from the lake surface, stepped on the ground, and leisurely went over to Junior Leopard.

“Hu, hu—!” Approaching Junior Leopard, it lowered its head slowly and seemed to be observing Junior Leopard. At this time, he felt very uncomfortable because he could clearly see this creature spitting formidable Fire Qi. Although the strength of his body had already reached Level Seven, he could not stand the natural Fire Qi of the Evil Fire Kylin. Once it touched him, his flesh and skeleton would definitely melt.

Therefore, Junior Leopard did not dare to wait for the kylin to show its big and ferocious head in front of his face.

“Go to hell!”

A green light flashed and lightning appeared. As the kylin approached Junior Leopard, who was lying on the ground like a dead dog, he suddenly stood up. The violent green light was drastically chopping at the Evil Fire Kylin’s neck.

“Roar—!”

Sword light instantly radiated.

The Evil Fire Kylin stepped back, but it was too late. Its vital parts escaped from being injured, but the cyan sword light just touched its shoulder. That touch almost cut its right front leg off. Its red, scorching blood exploded and splashed onto Junior Leopard’s head. He let out a strange cry because it felt like the skin where the blood had landed was being burned. Although the cultivation of his body had reached a level of steel sinews and iron-like bones, he could not withstand this lava-like blood.

“Great! Good boy! Good attack!” Green Spirit, who had just been hiding somewhere, shouted and was very surprised about Junior Leopard’s actions. “It’s beyond my expectations that you would have this trick. Cool! Excellent! Don’t stop. Attack it! Come on! Kill the Evil Fire Kylin. It’s a total treasure!”

“How could it be so easy?” Listening to Green Spirit’s yell, Junior Leopard could not help producing a forced smile. At this moment, the Blue Sword had already shot toward the Evil Fire Kylin. The Fire Kylin became cautious after suffering losses. It jumped back into the rock lake and sank in. The Blue Sword turned into a snake-like silk streamer, flying above the lake. However, the Evil Fire Kylin became wiser due to having taken a beating. It seemed to be hiding in the lake and would not come out again. The Blue Sword helplessly returned to Junior Leopard after wandering around for a while.

“Boy, leave now. The Evil Fire Kylin just received a serious wound, but you didn’t take advantage of that great opportunity. I guess it’s healing now. After it recovers, you won’t be so lucky!” Green Spirit raised his head, watching the lake and wearing an expression of regret.

“Fu*k! Half of my bones are broken. How can I walk?” Junior Leopard painfully cried and did not dare to rashly move his body. He just examined his body internally only to find that his body was much more seriously hurt than he had imagined. Not only had half of his bones been fractured, but also his viscera, tendons, and meridians had been assaulted. He was extremely fortunate to have survived.

However, the good thing was that he had many artifices. Although his body could not move, he could use the Three Realms Division. After displaying the Three Realms Division several times, he left the Geocentric Rock Lake and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Internal Qi inside of him spread out through his entire body. It would take a very long time to put his dislocated skeleton back together and restore the broken parts, including the destroyed tendons and meridians. All of that could not be finished in a short time. More importantly, it would be an excruciating process.

“Hiss—!” Lying on the ground, Junior Leopard used his powerful Inner Vision to rejoin his damaged skeleton and tendons and meridians little by little. Each skeleton movement was very painful and every tendon and meridian treatment made him convulse. About 10 minutes later, his body was steeped in intensive sweat; his muscles jerked uncontrollably all over his body, and his face was also much more hideous.

“Poor guy. You’re not so lucky. You encountered an Evil Fire Kylin, and you have badly wounded it. If you had responded swiftly, you could have left him behind. But you missed the chance. It’s really… Alas—!”

“Shut up! If you don’t stop talking, I will throw you into the space divided by the two realms. You’ll never come back, even if you want to!” Junior Leopard roared in a low voice while he carefully cured himself.

“I said the facts. If you think that I’m joking with you, you’re wrong!” Green Spirit did not care about Junior Leopard’s threat at all. “Evil Fire Kylins are heavenly creatures with formidable power. They are rarely seen in our times because they are heavenly creatures. Their whole body is precious, especially their blood, which is the most invaluable!”

“It’s hotter than the lava. Why do I need it? To drink?” Junior Leopard unhappily said. His body was now in sharp pain, so he wanted to soothe it by talking with Green Spirit.

“Of course not to drink. The Evil Fire Kylin has lived in the depths of the earth vein for thousands of years. It feeds on the pneuma and Evil Qi in the earth’s core, so its blood mixes countless pneuma and Evil Qi of the Fire in the five elements, finally forming this unique thing: the Kylin Evil. The Gang Qi practiced by the Kylin Evil is called the Kylin Gang, one of the seven wonder Gangs in the world. Aren’t you always looking for an opportunity to practice the Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Gang? If you use the Kylin Evil to cultivate Gang, you could get the Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Kylin Gang, which is extremely powerful!”

“Is there such a thing?” Junior Leopard was suddenly speechless because he had never expected that the Evil Fire Kylin had such a magical effect. He began to regret that he had not chopped at it more times. He wished that he had made the kylin bleed more!

“I have no reason to deceive you but you won’t get such an opportunity. If you recover a little bit from your injuries, you’d better get out of here quickly. The Evil Fire Kylin possesses the strength of the Metaphysical Realm, it wouldn’t have gotten hurt so seriously if it had been prudent enough. Also, your sword light was strange and fierce. If you return to that place, you won’t be so lucky when you meet with it again!”

“Does it really have the cultivation of the Metaphysical Realm? That doesn’t seem to be true!”

Indeed, that did not seem to be the case. If it had the cultivation of the Metaphysical Realm and the Individual Immortal Karma Rank, how could it have been severely wounded by him? Moreover, it hid under the rock lake and did not reveal its head. Did it really behave in the style of an expert?

“I said your sword light is excessively strange. Although your Flying Sword is not at a high level, it contains a strange lethal power and was harmonious with the Gang Qi that your Flying Sword’s External Elixir practiced. Besides, the kylin was very negligent, so you were able to seriously injure it with an attack!” Green Spirit said, “Guy, you’re lucky enough to be alive right now!”

After hearing that, Junior Leopard gradually understood. The reason that the sword was so lethal could be attributed to the purple thunderbolt that he had encountered during the cultivation of Gang with the thunder Evil Qi. His Blue Sword at that time was tainted with the purple thunderbolt’s power. Only that could explain why one strike was able to seriously injure the Evil Fire Kylin.

“So strange. Your Flying Sword has just reached the Earth Rank, and you can’t wield its full power due to your strength. So why is that sword so destructive?”

“Perhaps I have a good luck!” Junior Leopard was not in the mood to chat with him about it, so he changed the topic slightly. “My practice of the Golden Flame Mirror is almost at a perfect state. As you see, may I use it—?”

“What’s on your mind? You are still one step away from the successful practice of your Golden Flame Mirror. It’s not an absolute success yet. The Evil Fire Kylin is a creature living on the earth vein’s pneuma, so it doesn’t fear fire. Your Golden Flame Mirror could only release a little power, but the power is a rare nourishment to the Evil Fire Kylin. Using the mirror now is equivalent to adding nourishment to the kylin!”

“Well then, what if I combine the Sun Colored Glaze Flame and the Golden Flame Mirror at an advanced level after I get out?”

“That can cause harm to the Evil Fire Kylin, but you shouldn’t be under any illusions about it. Even if there’s any harm, it won’t be much. It’s impossible to get an immediate result fighting fire with fire!” Green Spirit said, “Guy, don’t think too much. You have lost the best opportunity and would better serve to leave early. Once it recovers from its injury and is in a foul mood, it might make trouble for you. By then, even if you want to leave—Er, we can’t leave now!”

“Shit!” Seeing the Evil Fire Kylin walking toward him along the passageway, Junior Leopard finally could not help swearing.

Surrounded by a scarlet flame, the Evil Fire Kylin was slowly walking toward him. Its front right leg, which had been almost cut off by him, had been cured. With a murderous gleam in its eyes, it carefully approached Zhou Bao with steady steps.

Junior Leopard placed his hands on the ground and gradually moved backward. Though he had tried to heal himself for a while, he was not totally cured but was just a little bit better. Hence, he still needed to recuperate long-term. However, in his current situation, it was an extravagance to talk about recuperation.

The Evil Fire Kylin seemed to feel that Junior Leopard was less aggressive, so it suddenly halted its steps and then its body became tense.

“Oh no! Damn! Again!” Seeing that stance, he immediately displayed the Three Realms Division. The very moment that he had disappeared, a howl resounded in the passageway, sweeping out in all directions.

“How dangerous! I narrowly escaped death!” Junior Leopard rejoiced, putting a hand on his ribs. The ground around him shook like an earthquake.

“Don’t count your chickens before they’re hatched. It hasn’t left!” Green Spirit coldly gave him a reminder. It seemed that the Evil Fire Kylin carried out what Green Spirit had said. Its figure emerged again in the passageway.

“Bloody hell! How did it find me?”

“Don’t forget we are at the geocentric fire vein. Earth fire pneuma and Evil Qi are everywhere, and the Evil Fire Kylin is most sensitive to the earth fire pneuma and the Evil Qi.” Green Spirit said, “As long as you are in the earth vein, you can’t evade the tracking of the Evil Fire Kylin.”

“What should we do now? Fight to the end?” Junior Leopard nervously asked. He was indeed anxious and the Blue Sword above his fingertips had already flown out.

“What else can we do? Fight now!” Green Spirit seemed to have no idea. “Your sword is eccentric and that scares it. Use your sword to force it back. And don’t give it a chance to open its mouth!”

“Got it!” As he saw the Evil Fire Kylin opening its mouth, Junior Leopard came up with an idea. Then he threw the Blue Sword toward its mouth.

A green light flashed by. The Evil Fire Kylin did not dare to catch the light, so it leaned sideways with red rays flashing from its eyes. Two red rays then shot toward the Blue Sword. However, Junior Leopard would not let the kylin attain its wishes. Under his manipulation, the sword easily dodged the attack.

Since he had already known that the Blue Sword had an influence on the Evil Fire Kylin, he would not miss the boat. A glimmer came into his eyes. Subsequently, the Jade Original Power Gang of the Blue Sword became larger and larger, gradually turning into a cyan power grid that ferociously moved toward the Evil Fire Kylin to cover it.

“Hu—!” Seeing a cyan power grid coming at him, the Evil Fire Kylin did not flinch. It seemed that nothing within the cyan power grid made it feel any dread. The red rays in its body flickered and formed a red fire net instantly, catching the cyan power grid.

“Crack, Crack, Crack—!”

With a big bang, the earth trembled and the mountains swayed and dust overflowed. Junior Leopard’s Jade Original Power Gang was destroyed by the Evil Fire Kylin’s protective red fire. Nevertheless, the Evil Fire Kylin did not feel good because its red fire had been cut to pieces by Junior Leopard’s cyan power grid and had lost its red flare.

The level of Junior Leopard’s Jade Original Power Gang was at least one step lower than the Evil Fire Kylin’s protective red fire. If another Gang Qi had been used, he would have disintegrated under the attack of the protective red fire. Luckily, Junior Leopard’s Jade Original Power Gang Spirit had been practiced by guiding the Nine Heaven Thunder Qi, so its power was several levels higher than the ordinary Jade Original Power Gang. Due to the restriction of his own cultivation, the power of the Jade Original Power Gang Spirit was not on a par with the protective red fire that had been practiced by the Evil Fire Kylin, who had almost reached the Metaphysical Realm. However, if the red fire wanted to destroy his Gang Qi, it had to pay a great price.

Everything vanished in a flash. The Fire Kylin suddenly pounced on Junior Leopard. How could Junior Leopard give it a chance to attack him easily? The brisk sound of thunder emanated from the Blue Sword as it radiated blue lights that blocked the Fire Kylin.

This time, Junior Leopard was not negligent. He fought against the Evil Fire Kylin by reining the sword with his thoughts.

In fact, according to his strength, there was a gap of several levels between him and the Evil Fire Kylin. Anyway, he was not a match for the Fire Kylin. However, he did have good luck. The sword in his hand was a Flying Sword of the Earth Rank and its body was the Heavenly Peach Wood containing the Thunder Yuan. Moreover, it had once been stained with a purple thunderbolt, an unbeatable rival to the Evil Fire Kylin and even all the living creatures in the world. A small amount of it would be enough to make the kylin feel dread. Additionally, Junior Leopard fully displayed the Silver Moon Sword Technique, enveloping the Fire Kylin in the blue sword light in the blink of an eye.

“Chi, chi, chi, chi, chi—!”

“Hu, hu, hu, hu, hu—!”

“Dong, dong, dong—!”

“Bang, bang, bang—!”

The passageway was chaotic. The Evil Fire Kylin was stopped by Junior Leopard’s Blue Sword and was afraid to break through Junior Leopard’s sword light.

“Hey guy, what on earth does your sword light contain? It turns the Evil Fire Kylin into such a coward!” Green Spirit asked with confusion. Obviously, he had not expected that Junior Leopard could so easily trap the Evil Fire Kylin.

“No idea!” Junior Leopard said with a smile, “One of the main elements of my Blue Sword is the Heavenly Peach Wood. This wood breeds the Thunder Yuan. Maybe that’s the reason the kylin is so cautious!”

“No. Even if the Heavenly Peach Wood has the help of the Thunder Yuan, that can’t make this kylin be so careful,” Green Spirit shook his head and said with doubt. “The Evil Fire Kylin is a heavenly creature. Although the thunderbolt can counter it, your Heavenly Peach Wood is just a 10,000-year-old thing. That Thunder Yuan hasn’t reached the Advanced Level, so it can’t be such a big threat!”

“Then, I have no clue,” said Junior Leopard, shaking his head. “I said don’t talk with me now. I’m busy!” Junior Leopard changed the subject. Regarding the miraculous purple in the thundercloud, Junior Leopard did not intend to mention it to Green Spirit. Although he already knew many of his secrets, he did not worry that Green Spirit would betray those secrets. But instinctively, he wanted to hold all the cards, so he was not willing to let Green Spirit know everything.

“Roar, Roar, Roar!”

“Swish, Swish, Swish!”

Junior Leopard intently manipulated the Blue Sword to scuffle with the Evil Fire Kylin. The kylin in the sword light was not weak, either. As a matter of fact, in just a short time, it had already made several powerful movements, which terrified Junior Leopard.

“Is this the cultivation and method of the Metaphysical Realm? Damn it! How could such methods exist?”
