The guards, seasoned in countless battles and well-coordinated, accompanied by the manifestation of the blood sprayed by Zhang Chen, swiftly slashed through the air with steel blades.
Zhang Chen dodged quickly, and with the Invisibility Rune at his side, he narrowly avoided the slash of the long blade, leaving marks on the ground.
Zhang Chen evaded the attack, looking at the burning skin on his chest, then glanced at Zhong Xiang, who transformed into a mass of flames, suddenly feeling the urge to curse: "How the hell do you fight this!"
Turning into elements!
Is this a skill belonging to the fourth rank?
Zhang Chen’s Crystal Core jumped wildly, continuously repairing his injuries, and within a dozen breaths, his damaged internal organs were fully restored.
At this moment, the Southern Qilin transformed from a flame form into human shape, surrounded by fiery red mist, with the wound on its throat becoming a fiery red magma that surprisingly solidified and healed.
"Heh, the ability to become invisible is indeed rare, but you underestimate me far too much. Having suffered my punch, surely your internal organs have ruptured, and you’re not far from dying. If you submit, perhaps I can spare your life today." The voice of the Southern Qilin was full of cruelty.
Zhang Chen, while recovering from his injuries, kept his gaze fixed on the Southern Qilin opposite him. After calming down, he realized that even if the opponent had the means to transform into elements, he might not be powerless against them, because he also had Body-Stabilizing Runes and Sealing Runes.
His Body-Stabilizing Rune is currently third rank, but as long as he upgrades it to the fourth rank, immobilizing the opponent and then using the Sealing Rune to suppress their Divine Techniques, denying them the chance to use their powers, he might still win.
Although upgrading the Body-Stabilizing Rune requires a whopping forty thousand experience points, Zhang Chen is now a big spender, and he can afford it.
Just as he was preparing to upgrade, Feng Shui Master Chen Xu suddenly turned back, though he couldn’t see Zhang Chen, he knew Zhang Chen was present, and shouted to the empty space:
"Run quickly, I’ve remembered who he is. This person is one of the two prodigies of the scholarly sect: Southern Qilin. What flows in his veins is not blood but magma, and he can transform into flames and a lava giant, famed as an undying existence."
Although Chen Xu had an Invisibility Rune, by shouting, he exposed his location, and Southern Qilin Zhong Xiang instantly transformed into a mass of flames over ten meters high, lunging toward Chen Xu.
The flames twisted the void, melting a nearby armored warrior turned to stone, and charged fiercely at Chen Xu.
Zhang Chen couldn’t just watch Chen Xu die; this Feng Shui Master was still very useful.
The next moment, Fox Fairy Nannan appeared, suddenly lunging out and pushing Chen Xu, causing him to roll away and fall heavily to the ground, raising clouds of dust, avoiding the burn of the flames.
Where Zhong Xiang stood, the ground instantly melted into scorching lava, emitting intense heat and distorting the air.
"This flame’s power is too monstrous! This is absolutely not ordinary fire," Zhang Chen thought as he looked at the melting earth and rocks, wishing, "Too bad we’re not by the Yangtze River or other waters, otherwise my Ice Freeze Technique would be his nemesis."
"Damn! Zhang Chen, what are you doing? How did you provoke him? This guy is known as the madman of the scholarly sect, back in the day even an eighth rank Yin Spirit existence was refined to death by him alive, even a tenth rank god couldn’t kill him, this guy has mastered transforming into flames and lava, you better run!" Fox Fairy Nannan fled to Zhang Chen’s side, anxiously said.
"Isn’t he only fourth rank? How can a tenth rank god not kill him? Isn’t he invincible then?" Zhang Chen asked, incredulous.
"Those days, it’s said he acquired the Fire Qilin legacy in a certain ancient tomb, hence the title Southern Qilin. His bloodline superpower originally controlled fire, but after merging with the Fire Qilin’s essence, his bloodline morphed. At the first rank, he awakened his first ability: transforming into lava. At the second rank, he gained his second ability: Three-Flavored True Flame. At the third rank, entering the tomb, he obtained a Qilin’s Heart, mastering transforming into flames. His fourth rank ability has yet to reveal, hidden with unknown means," Fox Fairy Nannan said:
"I heard once in an Ancient Divine Tomb, an eighth rank Yin Spirit competed for Creation with him, yet got reverse-killed, refined alive with flames. Later, the tenth rank power behind the eighth rank got furious, attempted to hunt him multiple times, slashed him dozens of times and dismembered him completely, but since he could gather and disperse formlessly into flames, essentially having an Undying Body, it forced the tenth rank god to relent and abandon vengeance."
"It’s said his body was transformed by the Fire Qilin’s heart, what flows inside isn’t blood, but boiling magma. He’s not a human anymore; he is now the mysterious of fire."
Zhang Chen heard this, speechless; how could a hacking cultivation speed compare to effortless gains???
Zhang Chen suddenly felt a little disheartened; that’s a true hacking cheat, straight to the top.
Compared to him, his Golden Finger still needs to grind level by level? This Golden Finger is too weak. Zhang Chen wanted to curse upon hearing this, is there any justice? Are there any laws?
He wants to report someone is hacking!
"Does that mean this lad is invincible?" Zhang Chen asked.
