Chapter 654 - 653: Yufan Unleashes Her Power
Seeing the situation was not good, Chen Tianlong hurriedly picked up a large rock nearby and vigorously pushed it forward. Whether it could withstand the fire bomb or not, Chen Tianlong did not know.
"Boom!"
The fire bomb exploded two meters away from Chen Tianlong, and the strong shockwave sent him flying. However, it was just like this that the cave entrance became safe. "Yufan, run!"
Chen Tianlong shouted with all his might. At this moment, he felt as light as a feather, with multiple injuries all over his body.
"Huh? Oh."
Jiang Yufan quickly realized that Chen Tianlong had practically used his life to create an opportunity for her. If she didn’t escape, it would be a disservice to him. So, Jiang Yufan, enduring the pain, turned to run out.
But just after a few steps, she heard a roar from behind. She couldn’t help but glance back and saw the Fire Qilin grabbing Chen Tianlong and throwing him out. Chen Tianlong rolled weakly on the ground.
"No, I can’t go. If it continues like this, Chen Tianlong will die." Jiang Yufan’s resolve wavered. She couldn’t just watch Chen Tianlong die. After thinking for a moment, she suddenly made a decision.
At this moment, Chen Tianlong had entered a healing state. He used powerful Qi to protect his body, and then began to use his Heart Method to quickly heal, hoping to maintain his life this way and find a chance to escape. However, the Fire Qilin didn’t seem to intend to let him go.
The Fire Qilin was standing right in front of him, not attacking immediately, but seemingly brewing something. Chen Tianlong was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but in the next moment, he was stunned.
This time, the Fire Qilin intended to wipe him out in one move.
A gigantic fire bomb began forming in the mouth of the Fire Qilin. Chen Tianlong knew that if it came flying over, he would likely be meeting King Yama.
"Descendant of the Jiang Family, Power of the Six Gods, Demon-Exorcising Blood—slay gods upon encounter, slay ghosts upon encounter, Blood Domain Heaven Sealing."
Jiang Yufan bit her finger, letting the blood flow into her palm. Suddenly, she dashed forward, leaped, and swung her finger forward, spreading the blood.
She held a try-it-and-see attitude, making a final desperate attempt. This was the strongest Gu skill of the Jiang Family, capable of commanding gods and spirits, and perhaps it could also control spirit beasts.
Chen Tianlong widened his eyes. He never knew Jiang Yufan could be so mysterious. Although not a cultivator, she used the Gu skill almost like one. Her movements were completely focused, whether stepping or leaping.
"Roar!" The fire bomb that the Fire Qilin was preparing suddenly shrank from large to small and then disappeared. This shocked Chen Tianlong once again.
"Haha, Chen Tianlong, we did it. Great." Jiang Yufan saw that the Fire Qilin was temporarily under control, in a confused state, standing there dazed and without any aggression.
"Huh?" Chen Tianlong couldn’t quite believe it. So, it was all Jiang Yufan’s doing, no wonder the Fire Qilin stopped suddenly.
"Chen Tianlong, are you okay? Let’s get out of here quickly." Jiang Yufan knew her Gu skill worked on the Fire Qilin, but it definitely wouldn’t last long. She had never used it on a spirit beast before, so she didn’t know how long it would hold.
"Okay." Chen Tianlong got up, but then thought for a moment. Since the Fire Qilin was bewildered, why not take the opportunity to get what he wanted? So Chen Tianlong said, "Yufan, wait a minute, I need to get something."
Jiang Yufan immediately got the hint and nodded. Chen Tianlong didn’t hesitate. He pulled out a dagger and ran over, then slashed the Fire Qilin’s thigh, collecting its blood in a bottle, and then leaped onto its body, removing a scale.
"Hehe, done." Chen Tianlong was delighted with the bounty. His mood instantly became very cheerful as he turned to Jiang Yufan.
"Wow, that’s great, let’s get out of here quickly." Jiang Yufan heard Chen Tianlong say it was done. Knowing he got what he wanted, she felt overjoyed, and the two started to leave.
"Roar!" Suddenly, a loud roar came over again.
"Not good, it’s awake again. Run!" Chen Tianlong was shocked. However, this time was different. He had what he needed and had no reason to stay, so he quickly grabbed Jiang Yufan’s hand and fled towards the exit.
The cave wasn’t blocked this time because the fireball didn’t have time to accumulate. The two had gone halfway through the tunnel when suddenly they felt a wave of heat. Looking back, a giant fireball was rushing towards them.
"Shit! Here it comes again." Chen Tianlong couldn’t help but curse, immediately picking up Jiang Yufan, saying, "Yufan, hold on to me, there’s no time."
"Huh? Oh, okay."
Jiang Yufan obediently hugged Chen Tianlong’s chest. Chen Tianlong took a deep breath, gathering all his strength. He planned to use the converged powerful Qi, utilizing the recoil to propel them out.
"Huh!"
Chen Tianlong pushed out more than half of the collected powerful Qi. His body didn’t resist; he didn’t brace himself. So the two of them were propelled straight out along the tunnel. After striking a palm forward, Chen Tianlong urgently turned and adjusted his body, turning around to see the direction.
At this moment, Chen Tianlong was like a rocket, carrying Jiang Yufan propelled by the recoil.
At a turn, Chen Tianlong planted a foot on the stone wall, changing direction. After landing, he sprinted hard and quickly reached the mountain exit. Seeing the flames from the fireball explosion about to reach them, Chen Tianlong used his last breath, striking the stone wall not far from the exit.
The two shot out of the exit like arrows, landing on the grass.
"Whew!"
Seeing the dissipated flames behind them, Chen Tianlong took a deep breath. The ordeal was finally over.
But suddenly, he felt a soft sensation in his palm as if holding something. Chen Tianlong instinctively looked down and his face turned red at once.
Because Jiang Yufan was underneath him, and his hands were right on her front. This position was just too... stunning.
"Chen Tianlong, can you let go? It’s a bit painful." Jiang Yufan was incredibly shy, but she knew Chen Tianlong didn’t do it on purpose, so she didn’t get angry, only softly and shyly said a word.
"Ah? Okay." Chen Tianlong hurriedly let go, but to be honest, it felt pretty good, quite elastic. If Jiang Yufan hadn’t told him to let go, he might really have wanted to hold on longer.
Chen Tianlong helped Jiang Yufan up, and they brushed the dust off their bodies. Jiang Yufan returned to her usual self, and the scene from just now seemed forgotten.
"Chen Tianlong, do we still have everything? Should we head back or go straight to the Cloud-Piercing Peak?" Jiang Yufan asked.
"Oh? Can we get to the Cloud-Piercing Peak from here? Wasn’t it said to be very far?" Chen Tianlong responded.
"Hehe, it is far, but that was from Grandma’s house. Now, we aren’t too far from the Cloud-Piercing Peak." Jiang Yufan spoke somewhat ambiguously, leaving Chen Tianlong a bit confused.
