Zhu Tian: Starting from the Laughing Proud Yue Buqun

Chapter 395 Threefold Return to Origin Qi to Suppress the Fire Qilin, Refining the Qilin's Merit Fruit
The ice that trapped the fire qilin transformed into the sharpest attacks, piercing through the surrounding walls, and a large number of ice fragments accompanied by flames rushed towards Xu Qing.

Fire and ice are two incompatible forces, but now they have undergone such a transformation under the power of the Fire Qilin.

Xu Qing remained expressionless, and with a wave of his hand, the primordial energy of heaven and earth gathered, forming a bright blue primordial energy shield that easily blocked the fire qilin's attack.

This is clearly an alternative application of the Three-Part Returning to Origin Qi.

"The power of this fire qilin..." Xu Qing remained calm and collected, sensing the fire qilin's ever-expanding anger and attacks.

It wasn't the sheer power of the fire qilin that surprised him; rather, it was the sheer weakness of the fire qilin's power.

This surprised him.

Logically speaking, the Fire Qilin is a divine beast of heaven and earth, and its strength level should be able to reach the level of a god-level martial artist.

However, the power of this fire qilin is clearly only enough to threaten top-tier martial arts masters.

Even top-tier martial artists in the martial arts world can easily inflict injuries on him.

No wonder in the original trajectory, the Fire Kirin was severely injured by the old emperor of Japan and fled in panic.

He was ultimately killed by Nie Feng, who had fallen into demonic possession, with a single strike.

Such strength is simply not up to the standard of a mythical beast.

However, the effects of both the Qilin blood and the Qilin scales are extremely significant.

This is inconsistent with the strength of the Fire Qilin.

"what on earth is it?"

As Xu Qing pondered why the Fire Qilin was so weak, the Fire Qilin once again gave up releasing its flames.

Instead, it chose to attack with its bare body and claws, charging straight at them.

Xu Qing immediately changed his move, and the energy shield that had enveloped the three of them suddenly gathered in his palm, transforming into an energy blast containing a terrifying aura.

He pressed forward to meet the charging ferocious fire unicorn!
The Spirit Bomb exploded with dazzling light, and the combined power of the Wind, Cloud, and Frost trio erupted, instantly blasting the Fire Qilin apart with terrifying force.

This caused many of the fire qilin's scales to fall off, and its body was covered in blood, which then burned on the ground.

A hint of apprehension and fear finally appeared in the fire qilin's eyes. It gradually realized that the person in front of it was incredibly powerful.

It is no match!
So, the fire qilin took a step back and turned to run away.

But how could Xu Qing let this guy get away?

His figure was even faster; although the Fire Qilin was not slow, it was ultimately no match for the wind.

Xu Qing blocked the Fire Qilin's path almost instantly, raised his hand and threw a punch. The Heavenly Frost Fist Force landed heavily on the Fire Qilin's body as the fist imprint was swung.

The fire unicorn flew horizontally again, and while in mid-air, it was once again frozen by the extremely yin and cold fist force.

This time, the Fire Qilin was first severely injured by the power of the Three-Part Returning Qi, and then fully endured the power of the Heavenly Frost Fist, leaving it in a completely weakened state.

The flames around it dimmed considerably, and the power of the ice seal could no longer be broken. It was completely frozen into an ice sculpture, impossible to break free of the seal.

"Master is too powerful! He suppressed the fire qilin without even using any supernatural powers!"

Duan Lang looked at the now motionless Fire Qilin and realized that the battle was over.

The ferocious fire qilin, having lost its arrogance, was thus suppressed.

"The ferocious beast Fire Qilin, which inspires fear throughout the martial arts world, cannot cause any trouble in front of Master!" Nie Feng also said.

This wasn't even a major battle; it was over in just a few moves.

"Too weak." Xu Qing shook his head.

The Fire Qilin's performance was far too weak, and there must be a reason for that.

Xu Qing had some guesses in his mind, but in order to confirm whether it was what he thought, he still needed to refine the Fire Qilin into a fruit!
Stepping forward, Xu Qing reached out and touched the frozen fire unicorn, activating the power of [Merit Fruit].

Soon, fiery red light gathered in Xu Qing's palm, while the corresponding icy aura of the fire unicorn gradually weakened, and even the seemingly inextinguishable flames began to die out.

"What is this!?" Duan Lang stared at the scene in astonishment.

"The Fire Qilin has disappeared!"

The next moment, the frozen fire unicorn transformed into a streak of light and disappeared.

A fiery red fruit floated in Xu Qing's palm. The fruit was crystal clear, and there seemed to be a small Qilin shape flowing inside.

"It smells so good! What is this?!" Duan Lang couldn't stop swallowing, staring at the Qilin Fruit in Xu Qing's hand, his whole body radiating desire. Nie Feng was no exception, and even the mad blood within him reacted.

Xu Qing stored the Qilin Merit Fruit into the [All Heavens Gate], and the two of them returned to normal.

"What an incredibly tempting temptation!"

"Just now I actually tried to snatch the fruit from my master's hand!"

"Me too!"

After Nie Feng finished speaking, Duan Lang nodded in agreement.

The aroma was so tempting that even with their willpower, they were almost unable to resist.

"Master, what exactly is that?!" Duan Lang asked curiously.

"That is the Qilin Fruit. I used special methods to refine the essence of the Fire Qilin into a fruit!"
"After consuming it, you will gain the divine power of the Fire Qilin, which is why it is so incredibly tempting to you."

Xu Qing smiled and explained that even if such methods were exposed, it wouldn't matter.

No one can take it away from him, and no one can defeat him.

"To be able to refine the power of the divine beast Fire Qilin into a single fruit, Master's methods are truly incredible!" Duan Lang exclaimed in surprise.

The more he followed Xu Qing and practiced martial arts, the more he realized that his master's methods were becoming increasingly powerful and unfathomable.

You never really know how many tricks they have up their sleeve.

too strong!
Fortunately, he caught his master's eye and became his disciple.

Duan Lang was increasingly grateful at this moment. In that selection of hall master, he had shown his master his potential.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have gained so much experience and knowledge today.

"Master, is the Fire Qilin dead?" Nie Feng was also surprised, but he was also very curious about the Fire Qilin's condition.

Does the Fire Qilin, once refined into a fruit, still exist?
"He should be dead." Xu Qing was also somewhat uncertain.

It turns out that the Fire Qilin was indeed killed by Nie Feng in the original storyline.

But decades later, the Fire Kirin reappeared in the world.

This indicates that the mythical beast possesses the ability to be reborn.

However, when Nie Feng killed the Fire Qilin, he merely severed its life force.

But the fire qilin's body remains intact.

Xu Qing, however, refined everything about the Fire Qilin into a perfect fruit, and all of the Fire Qilin's power was contained within this fruit.

Xu Qing was uncertain whether the Fire Qilin could be reborn.

Perhaps it is impossible, or perhaps it can be resurrected.

Duan Lang and Nie Feng exchanged a glance, both able to tell that even their master seemed somewhat uncertain about the matter.

"No need to overthink it, the Fire Qilin is definitely dead right now."

Xu Qing shook his head. Even if he could be resurrected, it wouldn't be now.

As things stand, the Fire Qilin is as dead as can be!
"Then Master has rid the martial arts world of this great scourge!" Nie Feng said.

"This also avenges my father! Thank you, Master!"

Duan Lang bowed deeply, filled with gratitude.

With his strength, he was no match for the Fire Qilin. If his master hadn't intervened, he and Nie Feng would have been forced to flee in panic even when facing the Fire Qilin together.

"Thank you Master!"

Nie Feng also bowed, his gratitude towards Xu Qing growing ever deeper.

She not only taught him martial arts and raised him, but now she is also helping him avenge his family.

This is such a great kindness that Nie Feng can only do his best to grow stronger and repay his master's kindness with everything he has in the future!
