Hellfire Qilin had been born long ago. He was a valiant general who had followed Tianhuo Qilin into battle for many years.
After enduring so many battles, he had developed an extremely keen sense of both executing orders and grasping the right timing.
Just moments ago, when Tianhuo Qilin had ordered him to hunt down Ye Tian, he had not gone immediately. He had also noticed the unusual relationship between Little Dragon Girl and Ye Tian. Thus, the instant the two embraced, flames erupted around his body, and the entire Qilin shot toward them like an arrow released from a bow!
Roar!
As he charged, he opened his mouth and spat out a massive fireball five meters across, sending it viciously toward Ye Tian and the others!
Yet when Ye Tian saw the fireball, the corners of his mouth curved slightly upward.
This was exactly the moment he had been waiting for!
Ye Tian waved his hand. The Moonstone Sword glimmered with an intensely biting chill, and as he swung it, a gigantic sword beam fifteen meters long instantly came slashing down!
Crack!
As the sword beam swept through, all the surrounding waters froze instantly. Even the seawater suspended in the air by the explosions was frozen into ice sculptures.
Boom!
In the blink of an eye, the sword beam collided with the Fireball Spell.
At that moment, Fire Qilin had still been sneering. But when he saw the sword beam freeze the fireball into an ice sculpture with overwhelming ease, then turn it into countless chunks of ice at Ye Tian's snap of the fingers, he was utterly dumbfounded!
After all, that had been roughly half of his own power. Yet his opponent had destroyed it with a single move?!
"What exactly are you?!"
He roared, and the entire Qilin accelerated several times over. In the blink of an eye, he arrived beside Ye Tian.
However, when he swung his flaming giant claw toward Ye Tian, the void trembled. The figures of Ye Tian, Chang'e, and Little Dragon Girl instantly turned into layers of ice that slowly fell onto the surface of the sea.
Skill—Substitution Technique!
This was Little Dragon Girl's skill!
Hellfire Qilin had never imagined that he would actually be deceived by a mere Chosen One!
"You're courting death—"
His face was terrifyingly grim as he carefully watched for the slightest movement in his surroundings.
This Chosen One, Little Dragon Girl, and that woman in white all had to die!
However, at that moment—
"Catch!"
Beneath the water.
Little Dragon Girl waved her hand and directly tossed the staff in her hand to Ye Tian.
"Congratulations! Little Dragon Girl's favorability toward you has increased to 60 points!"
"Congratulations! Little Dragon Girl's favorability toward you has increased to 70 points!"
"Congratulations! Your destined union has been formed. Little Dragon Girl will remain loyal to you!"
"Congratulations! Little Dragon Girl has given you the Dragon Palace's supreme treasure—the Ruyi Jingu Bang!"
Listening to the pleasant notification sounds, Ye Tian's lips curled upward.
He had originally thought that he would not obtain the Ruyi Jingu Bang until at least the second day of the game, after continuing to win over Little Dragon Girl. But now, it seemed that his furious efforts to raise her favorability had caused this event to happen ahead of time.
He had to admit, this was an excellent omen.
"Accept!"
There was no time to waste. Without another word, Ye Tian accepted the treasure.
It was worth mentioning that although Ye Tian's favorite weapon had always been the longsword, in the apocalyptic conditions of his previous life, when the situation had been so brutally desperate, what right did he have to choose the weapon he wanted?
Thus, over the course of twenty years, Ye Tian had used countless different weapons. He had even developed ways to use sword techniques, saber techniques, and other arts with different weapons. It would not have been an exaggeration to call him proficient with every weapon.
With these thoughts in mind, Ye Tian sneered and said, "Channel your spiritual power. Channel all of it into me!"
"Hm?!"
Chang'e and Little Dragon Girl were stunned upon hearing this. The enemy above the water was absolutely not someone the three of them could deal with in their current state. Using illusions to move beneath the water served two purposes: avoiding the attack and preventing them from burdening the East Sea Dragon King. Only once they were safe could the East Sea Dragon King eliminate the Qilin Clan without restraint.
But—
Although they were somewhat puzzled about why Ye Tian wanted to do this, they agreed after only a moment's hesitation. They directly channeled all the spiritual power in their bodies into Ye Tian.
Gurgle, gurgle...
Powerful waves of energy continuously emerged around Ye Tian's body.
Feeling the tremendous power surging through him, as well as the Game System's notification that his "[Power Exceeds Level Limit]," Ye Tian instantly stopped worrying about Chang'e and Little Dragon Girl. He circulated his spiritual power, and like a cannonball, his flickering figure shot straight out of the water!
"Courting death!"
Seeing Ye Tian emerge despite still being concealed, Hellfire Qilin's eyes turned cold. He leaped into the air, opened his enormous bloody maw, and arrived before Ye Tian in an instant as if teleporting.
"Get lost!"
Ye Tian's eyes were icy. With spiritual power pouring into him, he kicked out. Bolstered by the terrifying spiritual power of all three people, his strength had surpassed his normal power by countless times.
Thus, when his kick landed solidly on Hellfire Qilin's head, Hellfire Qilin could not withstand it at all. Blood sprayed from his mouth as his body flew backward.
-!
One kick dealt ten thousand damage!
This sight left Hellfire Qilin completely stunned. He had never imagined that a tiny Chosen One could increase his strength to such a terrifying degree in so short a time!
However, before his shock had faded, he recovered and was instantly dumbstruck.
Because at that very moment, under some profound incantation from Ye Tian, cold air erupted from the void. One icy ripple after another spread out from the golden staff in his hand.
Before long, the staff suddenly began to expand.
Fifty meters...
One hundred meters...
Five hundred meters...
One thousand meters!
In the briefest instant, the staff had grown to a length of one thousand meters. Just as Tianhuo Qilin and the Dragon King were locked in a fierce battle, they both froze when they saw this scene.
The super-sized staff shadow towered into the clouds, radiating immense pressure and casting a layer of gloom over everyone's hearts.
Yet in the instant countless people stood there in a daze—
Ye Tian slightly moved his finger.
"Go!"
As the word fell, the enormous golden staff in the void suddenly split into five in a blur, transforming into five staff shadows of equal size.
Before long, the enormous Ruyi Jingu Bang, resembling a pillar supporting the heavens, and its illusory copies descended toward the sea and the Qilins in every direction with a suffocating force of oppression!
The most genuine Ruyi Jingu Bang, which had first transformed into its thousand-meter form, slammed straight down upon Hellfire Qilin.
Skill—Ruyi Sweep!
Skill—Ruyi Clone!
Two skills erupted simultaneously!
"Roar!"
Fire Qilin's pupils shrank when he saw this. He roared as his entire body seemed to go berserk, erupting with even stronger flames as he prepared to meet the attack of the thousand-meter Ruyi Jingu Bang.
But in the next moment, everyone exploded!
