Chapter 105: Fire Qilin

Ink Fire Realm.

Endless ink-colored flames churned, and at the same time, all the churning ink-colored flames in the outer area were converging at the entrance.

Wisps of violet-ink flames devoured all the air in all directions, and a suppressive burning pain welled up in her heart.

Xu Lingqing trembled all over in pain, her skin splitting open. At this moment, all the skin on her entire body seemed to be about to be torn apart.

“Ah…”

She pursed her lips and used the ink fire to temper the incomplete Extreme Ice Body within her.

After a while, a large area of ink fire around her turned into a storm and swept over wantonly. The overwhelming flames directly pressed down on Xu Lingqing’s delicate body.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…

At this moment, Xu Lingqing’s entire body was stained with blood, enduring immense pain in the flame storm.

The blood was constantly being evaporated, and her tender skin was roasted until it gave off a meaty aroma. Even her black hair was almost ignited.

Tragic…

The next second, perhaps the Extreme Ice Body couldn’t bear to watch anymore, or perhaps the flames in the outer area of the Ink Fire Realm had been conquered.

The flame storm quickly receded, and the Extreme Ice Body no longer emitted a single bit of coldness. The Ink Fire Realm instantly returned to its original state.

“Did I succeed?”

Xu Lingqing’s eyes drooped unwillingly, and her eyelids closed tightly.

Even though she had fallen into a coma, Xu Lingqing could still feel a pair of large hands embracing her. As long as that pair of large hands were here, she would not be afraid.

Senior…

Lingqing will definitely become stronger quickly, and then go find you…

It was unknown how long had passed, but all the wounds on Xu Lingqing’s body had disappeared. She suddenly found herself standing in the great hall under the well again.

Xu Lingqing suddenly raised her head, rubbed her hazy eyes, and couldn’t help but suck in a breath of cold air as she felt the continuous pain spreading from her body.

Zidian anxiously said with concern, “Master, you scared me to death. Old man said you were on the verge of…”

“I’m fine. Wasn’t I in the Ink Fire Realm just now?”

“Sigh, old man felt that your aura had weakened to the extreme, so he rushed into the Ink Fire Realm and rescued you.”

Thinking of this, Xu Lingqing’s face turned slightly red, and she looked at the Violet Ink Qilin with narrowed eyes.

The Violet Ink Qilin coughed dryly, “Ahem… I swear I didn’t see anything. Just now, your body had a layer of protective armor.”

Xu Lingqing’s brows relaxed slightly. The profound-grade protective armor that Chen Anping had given her in the past covered most of her body. A warm smile appeared in the depths of her heart.

“Violet Ink Qilin, can I enter the Ink Fire Realm again?”

“Hmm? Are you really not afraid of death? It’s a good thing it was only the outer area. If it were the inner area, I wouldn’t be able to save you!”

“Don’t worry, I won’t regret it!”

The Violet Ink Qilin showed a disdainful expression, “Why are you so confident?”

“That’s because I know I will never lose!”

Xu Lingqing’s conviction was firm, and a faint, imperceptible violet-gold light flashed in the depths of her eyes.

The Violet Ink Qilin sighed, walked to the hidden door, and slowly opened the gate to the Ink Fire Realm.

“This is your last chance!”

Xu Lingqing nodded, “No problem!”

Arriving at the Ink Fire Realm once again, the violet-gold in Xu Lingqing’s eyes gradually spread, and the world in all directions turned into a snow-white realm.

The originally violet-ink sky was snow-white in her eyes, and the originally green land was also snow-white in her eyes.

She stretched out her hands and looked forward through the gaps between her fingers. Everything had no other color, a vast expanse, like a dream.

Xu Lingqing closed her eyes in surprise, “What on earth happened here?”

Did something happen to the Ink Fire Realm, or did Xu Lingqing’s vision change?

Xu Lingqing could only blankly feel the changes in her body. The Extreme Ice Body had been repaired by nearly half, and her strength had already advanced to the fifth-level Pulse Unsealing Realm.

(Walk forward!)

In a daze, an ethereal, calling voice sounded by her ear. The voice had no trace of malice, but was instead full of guidance.

Immediately after, a cluster of violet-ink flames appeared in the snow-white world.

Xu Lingqing lowered her head slightly, her arm trembling violently. Her cold eyes stared fixedly at the slowly wriggling cluster of flames before her.

Are there only so few flames left in the Ink Fire Realm?

Xu Lingqing reached out her hand to grab the wisp of violet-ink flame. Suddenly, the flame seemed to grow legs and darted forward.

She quickly chased after it, and the snow-white world gradually transformed. The Ink Fire Realm from before had returned.

But at this moment, the temperature in the air soared, from the original dozens of degrees to now over a hundred degrees. If an ordinary person stayed here for a few moments, they would be roasted to charcoal ash.

(You’ve finally come!)

Xu Lingqing stood blankly on the spot. Protected by the Extreme Ice Body, she was relatively immune to the surrounding scorching heat.

“Who are you?”

With that, she looked around and saw a huge shadow in the east.

The shadow was over ten meters tall. Its body was like a lion and a deer, covered in translucent, blood-red scales, and it exuded an aura of supreme majesty.

A red qilin?

“I am the Fire Qilin!”

The majestic voice penetrated Xu Lingqing’s mind, making her head buzz.

First, it was the Violet Ink Qilin, and now it was the Fire Qilin. The former was of the water attribute, and the latter was of the fire attribute.

Was there any connection between them?

Xu Lingqing stood there in a daze. After observing for a long time, she did not find any malice from this Fire Qilin towards her.

“Senior Fire Qilin, why are you here?”

As her voice fell, a shadow of a Fire Qilin quickly descended in front of her, its body surrounded by flames within a three-inch radius.

“You are the lone star of calamity among humans, the legendary God’s Chosen One who protects thousands of animals and controls the animal clan!”

Xu Lingqing didn’t understand what it was saying at all, her eyes growing more and more blank, “Sorry, you might have the wrong person.”

“Eh? You actually have a dragon and phoenix protecting your body?”

“This is the heart sutra I cultivate. The second form can summon a dragon and a phoenix.”

The Fire Qilin took a sharp sniff and nodded with great certainty, “That’s right! You have his scent on you!”

As its voice fell, the huge Fire Qilin figure actually knelt before Xu Lingqing and said in a pleading tone.

“God’s Chosen One, I beg you to save our Qilin clan…”

Xu Lingqing shook her head in confusion, “Sorry, you really have the wrong person.”

“I’m definitely not mistaken, the scent on your body!”

“Who exactly is the ‘he’ you’re talking about?”

“A hundred years ago, the entire great world knew that he protected thousands of animals. Now, he rules over all ages alone.”

Xu Lingqing was stunned, muttering to herself, “Rules over all ages?”

…

Giant Min Canyon sky.

A beautiful figure filled with killing intent streaked across the sky and descended.

Rumble, rumble…

She swung her sword, and half a small hill was razed to the ground, turning into nothingness.

“Xu Lingqing, I know you’re in there. Come out and die!”
