"Roarrr!!—"
The Fire Qilin let out a miserable howl. Its thick neck was brutally yanked backward by the string of Buddhist prayer beads, and Jiang Dali's explosive brute force dragged its entire body deeper toward the riverbed.
At last, a trace of fear rose in the Fire Qilin's heart. This hateful human with monstrous strength had come again, and it struggled desperately.
But the Demon Dragon below was also exerting force, joining in to drag its body toward the riverbed.
Before it could react further, a golden elbow like a short spear slammed viciously into its head. The tremendous impact compressed and exploded into a terrifying burst of water.
The Fire Qilin was dazed and disoriented. Its already exhausted body grew even weaker, and its waist suddenly tightened as though caught in a massive iron clamp. An astonishing suction force came through, and the fire-attribute spiritual power in its body began leaking away again as it rapidly sank to the riverbed.
"Fire Qilin! Submit to me! I can promise that one day, I will grant you Inverse Scale and inverse blood to restore your strength!"
Jiang Dali twisted his waist and rode atop the Fire Qilin, his legs clamped tightly around its midsection. As he sent out a primordial spirit fluctuation, his old fists showed no mercy, hammering blow after blow into the Fire Qilin's forehead.
Sensing the primordial spirit fluctuation, the Fire Qilin regained a measure of clarity. It roared furiously and struggled again, raising the deer antlers on its head to ram Jiang Dali in the chest.
The last astonishing surge of fire spiritual power within its body rapidly gathered in its antlers. Even underwater, they instantly radiated intense heat, turning blood-red like crimson coral and brimming with terrifyingly dangerous power.
"Stubborn fool!"
A cold glint flashed through
