Chapter 219: 219
The worst possibility was that Nie Feng still harbored a trace of unrealistic fantasy in his heart.
Thinking of this, Mingyue tightly hugged the wu shuang sword in her arms.
...
Leshan Giant Buddha is a very famous landmark. Even in ancient times, you could easily ask for detailed directions to it.
Chu Yang found Lingyun Cave without much effort.
Because of the legend of the Kirins, this place was usually sparsely populated and very quiet, but Chu Yang heard movement at the entrance.
He fixed his gaze.
Oh! It was an acquaintance!
Duan Lang!
Duan Lang, who had been severely beaten at the Ming family ancestral tomb, appeared in Lingyun Cave for some unknown reason. Chu Yang felt he might be here to find comfort.
Chu Yang followed Duan Lang into Lingyun Cave.
The temperature inside the cave was obviously much higher than outside. Duan Lang had only been in for a short while before he started constantly wiping sweat.
Chu Yang, following behind him, activated Observation Haki to locate the Kirins.
It was very close to them!
Looking at the cautious Duan Lang in front, Chu Yang's mouth curved upwards, then he suddenly appeared behind him and kicked Duan Lang hard in the butt.
"Ow!"
"Why is it you?!"
Duan Lang, who had fallen flat on his face, looked back and screamed in terror the moment he saw Chu Yang.
Chu Yang sneered and quietly retreated.
Not long after.
Blazing red light illuminated the cave, and waves of heat assailed them.
Duan Lang's face turned pale.
"Kirins…"
Trapped in a desperate situation, Duan Lang finally understood why Chu Yang had suddenly appeared—he wanted to use him to attract the Kirins.
"This person is so malicious!"
Duan Lang stood up, frantically ran towards the cave entrance, and roared with a distorted face.
He completely forgot that his previous act of ambushing his friend Nie Feng with Dugu Yifang was a hundred times more malicious than Chu Yang's actions.
The Kirins' roar grew closer and closer, as if right beside his ear.
Duan Lang felt his heart was about to leap out of his throat. A huge shadow of death enveloped his mind. His eyes were bloodshot, and he was crying and laughing, becoming increasingly frantic.
After running for an unknown amount of time, Duan Lang vaguely saw the sparse light outside Lingyun Cave, and a glint of relief at surviving a disaster flashed in his eyes.
Just then.
A scorching aura rushed from behind, giving Duan Lang the illusion of falling into molten lava, followed by a sharp pain in his shoulder.
"No! Don't!"
Duan Lang desperately reached out, seemingly wanting to grasp the light outside Lingyun Cave.
The Kirins pulled hard, and he was dragged back into Lingyun Cave, moving further and further away from that sliver of light. In Duan Lang's eyes, the flames became the deepest darkness.
The entire cave echoed with the Kirins' roar and Duan Lang's screams.
Chu Yang followed unhurriedly.
Duan Lang must die here today!
If he were let out, he would sooner or later disturb Nie Feng's peace, and Mingyue would also be unable to live a quiet life.
If it weren't for his consideration for Nie Feng and Mingyue, Chu Yang would have even wanted to eliminate Bu Jingyun to reduce an unknown factor.
"This matter is settled, and my life-saving grace has been repaid."
Listening to Duan Lang's gradually weakening voice, Chu Yang shook his head and slowly walked towards the enraged Kirins.
The moment the Kirins noticed Chu Yang, Chu Yang directly unleashed an "Avada Kedavra," accurately striking the Kirins.
The magic from another world frantically devoured the divine beast's life. The Kirins staggered and swayed in the cave but did not die immediately!
"As expected of one of the four auspicious beasts, it's not something a knockoff can compare to."
Chu Yang showed admiration in his eyes and unhesitatingly added several more killing curses. Now, even if a Heavenly King or Old Master came, they would have to perish here.
As expected.
The Kirins instantly collapsed, its eyes still filled with resentment towards Chu Yang.
It died too unjustly!
It would rather fight a strong enemy for hundreds of rounds and die of exhaustion than die in such an inexplicable way.
As long as the true essence of the four auspicious beasts remains Immortal and their bodies still exist, they can be resurrected given time.
When they meet again in the future, the Kirins vowed to fight Chu Yang to the death.
Chu Yang also sensed the Kirins' thoughts, so he smiled and said, "When we meet again, feel free to seek your revenge."
He did not plan to easily kill the Kirins, at least not until he had freeloaded Qilin Blood for a period of time.
Only after Qilin Blood no longer had any effect on him, and he then took the Kirins' true essence, would it be considered maximizing his benefits.
The Kirins' pupils dimmed, and its life force was completely severed.
Duan Lang's remains were at its feet, now scorched beyond recognition by the flames.
Chu Yang cast a Fireball spell, burning him completely clean, as if he had never appeared in the world.
Carrying the Kirins' body, Chu Yang walked deeper into Lingyun Cave, continuously searching for Blood Bodhi scattered along the way.
Until he reached an area with a deep pool.
Chu Yang stopped.
The temperature of Qilin Blood was very high, and Chu Yang was worried it would cause a fire outside, so he chose this spot.
This was also where Nie Feng and the Kirins had fought.
Chu Yang stripped naked and took a bath, then used magic to drag the Kirins into the air and made an incision at its neck.
Golden Qilin Blood dripped down, forming a column of blood that poured onto Chu Yang's body. The high temperature in the blood instantly turned Chu Yang's skin red, even making him feel a slight burning sensation!
"With my physique, Qilin Blood can actually burn my skin. This is truly good."
A surging power enveloped Chu Yang's entire body like seawater, entering his body in the most brutal way.
Scalding and intense!
Chu Yang's physical body was strengthening at an alarming rate!
"If Qilin Blood is this strong, the blood of the other three auspicious beasts shouldn't be far off."
"Dragon Blood and Phoenix Blood are both related to Emperor Shi Tian. That old pervert's whereabouts are unknown, so he's hard to find."
"As for the Dragon Turtle, I need to find Xiao Sanxiao. That old fellow is even more troublesome than Emperor Shi Tian, and even harder to find."
"Xiao Sanxiao's martial arts value is no less than the Dragon Turtle's spiritual blood…"
"In Fengyun, there are always monsters who have lived for thousands of years and like to run around. Can't they just find a place to stay so I can take them all out at once?"
After a long while of random thoughts, the Qilin Blood gradually dried up. Not a single drop was wasted; all of it was absorbed into Chu Yang's body.
He was now radiating high temperatures, and the surrounding pool water showed signs of boiling.
Chu Yang struck while the iron was hot, stuffing a handful of Blood Bodhi into his mouth.
With the Blood Bodhi and the boost from Qilin Blood, he began to attempt to push all his martial arts to the Grand Completion realm.
The most important of these was Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm.
One day in the mountains, a thousand years in the world.
His martial arts attainment improved at an unbelievably fast pace, immersing Chu Yang so deeply that he couldn't extricate himself. However, this training lasted for half a month.
"If I keep practicing, Mingyue's grave grass will soon grow tall. I should stop for now!"
Chu Yang stopped, still feeling unsatisfied.
At this point, most of his martial arts had reached perfection, and Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm had advanced by a major realm, reaching the unprecedented eleventh level.
It was still a bit short, after all.
But Chu Yang was very satisfied with the effects displayed by the eleventh level of Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm.
For some unknown reason.
The actual power increase of the eleventh level of Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm was much greater than described in the martial art manual.
It wasn't just the strength of eleven dragons and eleven elephants, but it had doubled!
The strength of twenty dragons and twenty elephants!
The last three levels of Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm had always existed in legend. Apart from Golden Wheel Dharma King, no one had cultivated it to the tenth level, let alone the subsequent realms.
Chu Yang was the first.
Therefore, there was no definitive conclusion on what the last three levels were like; perhaps even the theoretical creator of this martial art was unclear.
All in all, it was an unexpected surprise.
To ensure that the Kirins' corpse would not encounter any mishaps, Chu Yang sank it into the deep pool, waiting for it to fully resurrect on its own.
As for whether it would drown, that was none of his business.
After doing these things, Chu Yang continued to explore Lingyun Cave. Leaving aside the Dragon Vein for now, he was determined to find the Qilin murals.
The sooner he obtained Ten Directions Invincible, the better, so Chu Yang would have more time to comprehend it.
The interior of Lingyun Cave was crisscrossing. To seriously look for something, it would still take some time. Chu Yang searched for three full days before finding the Qilin mural that Nie Feng had seen.
It depicted the grievances between the Qilin Demon and the Peerless Sword, concealing the essence of Ten Directions Invincible martial arts.
