Chapter 257 The Rebirth of the Qilin
When Lin Fei arrived outside the Fire Cloud Cave, Qin Zhongshan and the Fire Qilin were fighting.
Although the Fire Qilin's cultivation level is not what it used to be, it is still an ancient sacred beast with many trump cards. It is not an easy task for Qin Zhongshan to take it down in a short time.
Because of the Netherworld Soul Chains, the Fire Qilin could not stray too far from the stone tablet; it could only block Qin Zhongshan from approaching the entrance of the Fire Cloud Cave.
When Lin Fei reached the entrance of the Fire Cloud Cave, although Qin Zhongshan had gained the upper hand, the Fire Qilin still stood firmly in front of him, preventing Qin Zhongshan from getting close to the cave.
"Senior Qilin, leave this guy to me!" Lin Fei stepped forward and said to the Fire Qilin.
Upon seeing Lin Fei emerge, the Fire Qilin asked, "Have you seen the three emperors?"
Lin Fei nodded: "His Majesty the Emperor has already told me everything, so Senior Qilin, please rest assured."
Upon hearing that the Fiery Cloud Cave truly contained the presence of the Three Ancient Sovereigns, Qin Zhongshan's eyes gleamed with golden light: "Boy, the treasures of the Three Ancient Sovereigns are not for you to possess alone. Hand over the treasures, and I might spare your life!"
Although Lin Fei has now also opened the Heavenly Gate, and in terms of cultivation alone, he is no less than Qin Zhongshan, Qin Zhongshan still doesn't consider Lin Fei an opponent of the same level. Although both have opened the Heavenly Gate, there is still a gap between them. In Qin Zhongshan's view, with his strength, defeating this young man who has only just opened the Heavenly Gate would not be difficult.
"Then let me see if you have the ability!" Lin Fei held the Xuanyuan Sword and gave Qin Zhongshan a cold smile. He was not afraid of Qin Zhongshan at all, not to mention that he also had the Benevolent Sword, a secret passed down by the Hidden Sword Elder, as Lin Fei's biggest trump card.
Just as Lin Fei was about to make a move against Qin Zhongshan, the Fire Qilin suddenly blocked his way: "You don't need to make a move. I will deal with this arrogant junior!"
As an ancient divine beast, it was naturally very unhappy to be looked down upon by a junior. Moreover, now that Lin Fei had obtained what was in the Fire Cloud Cave, it no longer needed to guard the cave entrance. Its eyes even burned with fierce fighting spirit.
"Senior Qilin, you..." Looking at the Netherworld Chain tightly locked around the Fire Qilin's neck, Lin Fei couldn't help but feel worried.
Qin Zhongshan is no pushover either. The Fire Qilin is currently restricted by the Netherworld Soul Chains, so it's probably no match for that guy.
"Hahaha, kid, don't underestimate me!" The fire qilin laughed loudly, "I am, after all, the emperor's mount, born with the strength of a celestial being, yet I am being looked down upon!"
As they spoke, a raging fire broke out on the Netherworld Chains, as if it were about to burn the entire chain apart.
Lin Fei was all too familiar with the flames burning on the Netherworld Chains—wasn't it the same flames that burned on the bodies of the Three Emperors when they died in the illusion?
This fire qilin seemed to be attempting to burn its own true spirit to temporarily break free from the chains of the underworld. The result was obvious—the fire qilin could regain its immense power for a short time, but the price it paid was its life.
Just as Lin Fei was about to stop him, the Fire Qilin's voice entered his mind: "Boy, now that you've met His Majesty the Emperor, my mission is complete. My wish is fulfilled, and I no longer wish to be bound to this place by the Netherworld Chains. You don't need to stop me!"
Upon hearing the Fire Qilin's telepathic message, Lin Fei sighed, stopped what he was doing, and did not try to stop the Fire Qilin any further.
Given the Fire Qilin's cultivation level and status, being trapped here for countless years would likely be more unbearable than death for it. Now that someone has entered the Fire Cloud Cave, its final mission is complete, and perhaps for it, death is the best way out.
The Netherworld Chains were engulfed in raging flames, which actually burned them through. Seeing the chains that had bound it for countless years finally break, the Fire Qilin roared to the sky, shouting, "Boy, pay the price for your arrogance! Let me show you what a true ancient sacred beast is!"
Previously, due to being restricted by the Netherworld Chains, its power was extremely limited, and it was almost completely overwhelmed by Qin Zhongshan. But now, with the Netherworld Chains broken, the Fire Qilin's strength has been fully unleashed.
In an instant, flames roared around the fire qilin, many times more intense than before. If the fire qilin's flames were merely small sparks before, now they were a raging inferno. The raging flames even turned the entire space crimson red.
The surrounding air became distorted, and the space around them was also distorted by the raging fire, even showing signs of cracking and breaking.
"Not good!" Lin Fei's expression changed drastically upon seeing this: "This fire qilin is too powerful; the space of the minor world can't withstand it!"
Before entering, the Hidden Sword Elder had said that the space where this minor world was located was on the verge of collapse because of his battle with the Demon Master back then, and it could not withstand the pressure of a powerhouse above the Dharma Aspect level.
Now, having completely broken free of the Netherworld Chains, the Fire Qilin's strength far surpasses that of ordinary Celestial Realm experts. This small world can no longer withstand the Fire Qilin's immense energy and is on the verge of collapse.
Upon seeing this scene, Qin Zhongshan's expression changed: "You beast, do you really intend to fight me to the death?"
He could clearly feel that the energy unleashed by the Fire Qilin at this moment had completely exceeded the limit he could withstand.
In other words, if he were to confront the Fire Qilin head-on, he would likely only face certain death.
Seeing that the surrounding space was beginning to crumble, if they didn't leave now, they would only die here. Qin Zhongshan snorted coldly in resentment, glaring at Lin Fei and saying, "Good lad, you're lucky this time! You just wait, if we ever meet again, I will personally take your life!"
After saying that, billowing black energy wrapped around Qin Zhongshan's body, taking him away from this small world.
"You should get out of here too!" the Fire Qilin said to Lin Fei. "This small world is about to collapse. If we don't get out now, we'll all die here."
It seems that it has already prepared itself to perish along with this small world.
