Fantasy: Ten Dragons Compete for the Throne, I, the Villain, Choose to Play it Off

Chapter 99 Purple Ink Qilin and Phoenix

Li Qiye remained calm, mysterious Dao patterns appearing beneath his feet as he strolled out, quickly appearing beside Jian Wuhen.

Two figures swept through the air, leaving behind a fleeting, breathtaking trail.

"His movement technique..."

Jian Wuhen turned his head and saw Li Qiye with a calm expression, and was shocked.

His sword control technique has reached perfection; he can transform himself into a sword and fly on it, and his speed is unmatched among his peers.

Li Qiye, standing beside him, caught up with him so easily, walking alongside him with every step he took.

Clearly, the opponent has not yet used their full strength and is holding back.

"I have never heard of the Northern Grotto Heaven before. It seems that it is probably the cave dwelling of some reclusive immortal."

Jian Wuhen thought to himself.

Just as Li Qiye had suspected, Jian Wuhen did indeed harbor doubts.

Although he could feel Li Qiye's powerful blood and qi, which was like a cauldron, his cultivation level was only at the Purple Mansion Realm.

This simple test dispelled his doubts, leading him to believe that Li Qiye was likely hiding his cultivation level, otherwise he wouldn't have acted this way.

"Then I'll see what your limits are."

Sword light flashed in Jian Wuhen's eyes, and the next moment his speed increased significantly, directly transforming into sword light as if to tear through space, the brilliant light flashing and disappearing in the sky.

Upon seeing this, Li Qiye smiled calmly.

He remained unhurried, the Dao patterns beneath his feet becoming even more intense, steadily following beside Jian Wuhen.

No matter how fast Jian Wuhen was, he was always beside his opponent.

Are you kidding me?
The speed of the Kun!
That was no joke; it was a legendary and extremely glorious ancient era, known as the world's fastest, unmatched by anyone.

Although Li Qiye has not yet reached perfection and can only be considered to have achieved minor success, it is enough for him to stand out among his peers. When it comes to speed, probably few people can match him.

It took a full half incense stick's time for Jian Wuhen to stop.

Fine beads of sweat had formed on his forehead. Even with his abundant spiritual energy, he was finding it difficult to withstand such intense flight.

When he turned to look at Li Qiye, who had also stopped beside him and looked relaxed and carefree, he gave a wry smile.

"Brother Qiye, your agility is truly unparalleled. I estimate that there are very few people among your peers who can catch up with you. I think only one of my friends can rival you."

"Sword Without Trace sighed."

He had just exhausted all his strength to fly on his sword, and his spiritual power was almost depleted, but he still couldn't shake off Li Qiye, who was still following him at a leisurely pace.

Moreover, the other party looked very relaxed, as if they hadn't exerted any energy at all.

In terms of speed, he is far inferior to his opponent.

Upon hearing this, Li Qiye was taken aback.

Although he didn't go all out, he still demonstrated his speed.

But Jian Wuhen said that someone else's speed was about the same as his.

Suddenly, a thought struck Li Qiye, and he asked, "Brother Jian, could your friend be...?"

"Not bad!"

Jian Wuhen smiled and nodded, saying, "My friend is the Golden-Winged Roc, possessing the speed of the Heavenly Roc."

"If Brother Qiye weren't human, I would almost suspect that you were also a Golden-Winged Roc!"

As expected, Li Qiye guessed correctly, and he sighed inwardly.

The speed of the Golden-Winged Roc is absolutely astonishing, known as the speed of the Heavenly Roc, second only to the Kunpeng.

It's no wonder that this is a major sect that once had immortals, and it's reasonable that they have a genuine divine beast bloodline that has been passed down from ancient times. However, it's probably no longer a pure bloodline.

"What?" Suddenly, Jian Wuhen's eyes lit up. He looked in one direction and then laughed.

"Brother Qiye, it seems we've stumbled upon the right path and are heading in the right direction. We think we've arrived."

Why add "seems like"?

Li Qiye always felt that Jian Wuhen was not very reliable.

"Brother Qiye, have you never been here before?"

Seeing Li Qiye's expression, Jian Wuhen asked with a smile.

"This is my first time leaving the cave!" Li Qiye said casually.

No wonder I've never heard of the Northern Grotto Heaven.

Jian Wuhen suddenly realized what was going on, but he didn't say anything more and fell into the mountains with Li Qiye.

Golden light flashed in Li Qiye's eyes. After confirming that there was no danger, he and Jian Wuhen stepped inside.

The moment they entered the bamboo forest, a wisp of white mist appeared, as if a mythical beast had appeared. Everywhere they looked, there were spiritual herbs that had been growing for countless years, their fragrance filling the air. It was likely that their medicinal properties were no less than those of divine medicines.

Suddenly, Li Qiye's pupils contracted sharply. He actually saw a Qilin, which was completely black, with incredibly lively eyes, and its whole body exuded a rich spiritual energy.

"This is a Purple Ink Qilin!"

Li Qiye was stunned, because it was an extremely pure Qilin with a very special aura. Unlike ordinary Qilin bloodline beasts, it had a natural nobility.

He landed and transformed into a young man in black, smiling and nodding at Jian Wuhen who was walking towards him.

Immediately afterwards, Li Qiye saw a beautiful phoenix descend from the sky, transforming into a young girl with a serene and gentle smile, draped in a radiant fairy robe.

Seeing this, Li Qiye could hardly believe his eyes.

Am I trapped in some kind of illusion? Otherwise, how could I have seen the legendary phoenix and the purple-black unicorn?
However, the Heavenly Eye Divine Art can see through all illusions in the world, and he knew that all of this was real.

But the truth was too astonishing. Two ancient mythical beasts that had long been extinct suddenly appeared, and they were of extremely pure blood. Anyone would be confused.

Li Qiye's reaction was already quite good; it was clear that these people recognized Jian Wuhen.

The beautiful girl who was transformed from a phoenix had a bright smile on her face, and her eyes were filled with curiosity as she stared intently at Li Qiye.

She asked softly, "Brother Sword, may I ask who this fellow Daoist is?"

Upon hearing the beautiful young woman's question, Jian Wuhen smiled and introduced her, "This is Brother Li Qiye, from the Northern Region Cave Heaven."

"The Northern Region Grotto-Heaven?"

The young man in black pondered for a moment and said, "This is the first time I've heard of this."

"The world is vast, and it's normal that we haven't heard of some reclusive immortals."

The stunningly beautiful girl said with a smile.

Jian Wuhen nodded and said, "This is Brother Qiye's first time leaving the cave!"

Li Qiye smiled and nodded to the two of them. He was still a little dazed and found it hard to believe.

The ancient phoenix, which had long been extinct, and the purple-black unicorn now appeared before him, which was really hard for him to accept.

He initially thought it was just the bloodline of the phoenix and the qilin, but no matter how he looked at it, it didn't seem like it. He felt that it was more likely a pure bloodline descendant, which gave Li Qiye a headache.

In a small world with perfectly defined rules, it is perfectly normal for living beings to exist.

There are living beings in many secret realms, which is not unusual.

However, seeing the phoenix and the qilin in person still left him feeling unsettled.

"If there are immortals in this small world, then it makes sense that there are also divine beasts..."

Li Qiye murmured to himself.
