Kakkō soared into the sky inside Lingyun Cave, accompanied by fierce roars of beasts. A figure could be seen fighting against a giant beast.
After Duan Lang deeper into Lingyun Cave, Duan Lang finally encountered a wandering Fire Qilin, and a conflict naturally erupted between the two.
" Sun Pours to Fullness!!"
With the help of the Fire Qilin Sword, Duan Lang's martial arts, which already exceeded the original timeline, became even more powerful.
With a single strike of the Sun Pours to Fullness Sword Technique, brimming with boundless sword intent, he slashed at the Qilin, his ferocity far surpassing that of a blade.
Moreover, the sword intent permeates the surrounding area, making it ideal for prolonged battles.
The Fire Qilin is, after all, a divine beast. It possesses immense strength, can breathe fire, and is covered in incredibly sturdy Qilin armor. Even in the early stages of the Wind and Cloud, no one could do anything about this divine beast.
As soon as they clashed, Duan Lang knew that this was an opponent he could not defeat in a short time, so he chose to wear him down.
" The White Sun Breaks the Dawn!"
" Sun Sits in the City of Sorrow!"
" Six Meridian Divine Sword!"
"Fire Spirit, help me!"
First Sun-Eclipsing Sword Technique, then the martial arts obtained from the system, and later even the ultimate spell of Duan Lang.
Although the system did not teach him a method to achieve enlightenment through martial arts, there is no concept of an upper limit to Internal Energy in the Wind and Cloud World.
They often possess a century's worth of cultivation, and even figures like Di Shitian, Xiao Sanxiao, and the Great Evil Demon have cultivation spanning thousands of years.
With the system's help, Duan Lang directly learned how to cast spells using Internal Energy, and the power was not weakened. Although the consumption was greater, it was still useful as a killing move.
At that moment, the Fire Spirit summoned and directly swept away the flames spewed out by the Fire Qilin, leaving the divine beast stunned for a moment.
The next second, Duan Lang his full power and thrust forward, the Fire Qilin Sword in his hand becoming like a lightsaber under the infusion of his Internal Energy.
'Sizzle'
It pierced firmly into a scale near the opening where Nie Ying had sent the Fire Qilin flying years ago, and then embedded itself deeply into the gap between the scales.
"Break it!!"
He exerted force with his hand, causing even the Qilin plates on the Fire Qilin Sword to light up.
'Click~'
A piece of hard scale was forcibly pried off, and the blood, thick with intense flames, caused the surrounding temperature to rise sharply.
Besides Nie Ying from back then, another person pried off a scale from the Fire Qilin.
"Roar~~"
The Fire Qilin went berserk in pain, its limbs flailing wildly, and flames surged from its mouth and nose once again, but they were constantly absorbed by the fire spirit hovering beside it, and could not touch Duan Lang at all.
Wind and Cloud flourishing of martial Martial Dao has led people to focus solely on actual combat with swords and spears, with few engaging in magical manipulation of elements.
Without the flames that melt gold and corrode iron, the Fire Qilin is nothing more than a slightly larger Beast.
"You beast! Today I'll kill you!"
Despite having exhausted most of his Internal Energy, Duan Lang, a young man full of vigor, was still brimming with fighting spirit.
'If I could kill this divine beast, the whole world would know of my power, Duan Lang, not to mention that this beast is a treasure trove from head to toe.'
Duan Lang grabbed the Fire Qilin Sword and charged forward, his swordplay becoming increasingly sharp and fierce.
He charged left and right, constantly attacking the Fire Qilin, using sword techniques to continuously weaken Fire Qilin.
Faced with the ferocious Duan Lang, the Fire Qilin became somewhat hesitant. Another piece of its scales was shaved off, and its survival instincts kicked in, making it afraid.
With its powerful Qilin Fire now suppressed and its scales Duan Lang by Duan Lang's divine weapon, the Qilin's Beast instincts began to drive it to retreat.
With two streams of hot air exhaled from its mouth and nose, the Qilin charged fiercely towards Duan Lang, as if it were determined to fight to the death.
Duan Lang would never take this attack head-on. Duan Lang immediately dodged away, intending to use the opening after the Qilin's charge to deliver another powerful blow.
But unexpectedly, halfway through its charge, the Qilin stomped its four hooves on the ground, and its massive body suddenly made a sharp turn, crashing headfirst into a stone wall on the mountaintop.
At the same time, flames shot out from his mouth and sprayed towards the stone wall in front of him.
The raging flames, capable of melting gold and corroding iron, instantly made the stone wall brittle. The Fire Qilin's enormous head crashed into it, immediately clearing a path.
"You beast! So you were trying to escape!"
Duan Lang also realized that the Fire Qilin was terrified of him and was preparing to flee for its life.
He stopped dodging and immediately channeled his internal energy, chasing after the enemy with lightning speed.
The human and the beast, chasing and fleeing, soon began playing hide-and-seek in the Lingyun Cave.
After most of the day had passed, Duan Lang reluctantly stopped at a fork in the road.
He's been lost!
In Lingyun Cave, a Duan Lang crisscrossed by countless paths carved out by the Qilin, it's only natural that Qilin would lose track of it.
"Damn it! You bastard, I'll kill you next time I see you."
Aside from venting his anger by cursing a few times, he had no other options.
However, because of his pursuit of the Qilin, Duan Lang had already arrived at the deepest part of Lingyun Cave, where a different aura emanated from all around.
"You damned beast, you might be able to run away from the monk, but let's see if you can run away from the temple. I'll turn this place upside down!"
Somewhat Duan Lang, Duan Lang began exploring the surroundings, and in doing so, he discovered the greatest opportunity within the Lingyun Cave.
One wall was covered with various murals, which looked extremely mysterious.
Duan Lang only needed to glance at it to recognize that it was not just a mural, but also contained wondrous martial arts techniques.
"Who left this martial arts here? It's far more refined than any martial arts in the martial world, even surpassing the leader's Three Points Return to One Qi Origin Qi."
"No, there's no comparison at all. This is an unparalleled divine skill in the world!"
Duan Lang looked at the martial arts techniques on the wall and couldn't help but start deducing them in his mind. After comparing them with the martial arts techniques he knew, he realized that those were complete rubbish.
"As expected, I am the true chosen one. The system guided me here, and I have already acquired two martial arts techniques, as well as treasures and divine weapons. I, Duan Lang, am definitely the person most favored by the heavens."
Duan Lang looked at the martial arts manual on the wall with great joy, found a place to sit cross-legged and began to carefully study it.
Before long, he began to practice the martial arts techniques contained in the murals.
The Lingyun Cave contains countless treasures, the most valuable of which is the divine beast Fire Qilin, followed by the dragon vein spine from the ancient Yellow Emperor's tomb and the martial arts technique left behind by the Grandmaster Wu Wudi — Black Tortoise True Skill.
The Black Tortoise True Skill is hailed as one of the top martial arts in the Wind and Cloud World. Wu Wudi, with this skill combined with the two internal and external martial arts, Invincible in Ten Directions, beat Di Shitian, who had swallowed the Phoenix Blood, half to death.
Half of his Phoenix Blood was scattered, and he couldn't even maintain his immortality, which shows how powerful it was.
Under the system's silent guidance, Duan Lang entered Lingyun Cave and seized the opportunity first, completely taking away Nie Feng's chance and nurturing this originally abandoned child who was not favored by fate.
