Film & TV: Public Enemy of Justice

This was a dead end. The weak sword energy couldn't harm the Fire Qilin, which put the Sword Saint in a difficult position. The Fire Qilin's fearlessness had caused him a lot of trouble, and he couldn't ignore the scorching flames on the Fire Qilin's surface.

Just as the Sword Saint was struggling in battle, Lin Yaoxie watched the Fire Qilin from the side and nodded in satisfaction. He was very satisfied with the Fire Qilin's appearance and power; this was truly Lin Yaoxie's mount.

This fire qilin is not only powerful, but almost everything on its body is a treasure.

Blood is a treasure. In the past, the Fire Qilin wreaked havoc everywhere. Nie Feng's ancestor, Nie Ying, fought against it to rid the people of this menace. He cut off the Qilin's scales from the spot where Duan Lang's ancestor had cut off the scales, and the blood splattered into his mouth, causing him to faint. The Fire Qilin was wounded and fled. Later, Nie Ying obtained Qilin blood, which greatly increased his power, but he also became increasingly mad and uncontrollable. This is the origin of the mad blood in the Nie family.

Scales are treasures. In the past, the Fire Qilin caused havoc everywhere. Duan Lang's ancestor fought to rid the people of this menace and cut off a piece of its scales. The Fire Qilin was wounded and fled. Later, Duan Lang's ancestor embedded the scales into a sword, greatly increasing the sword's power and enabling it to generate high-temperature flames. This sword became known as the Fire Qilin Sword.

Furthermore, Bu Jingyun's peerless sword was forged specifically for the Fire Qilin. This Fire Qilin is practically an omnipotent treasure. If he were ever destitute, he might be able to sell some blood to get through the difficult times.

Of course, Lin Yaoxie was just joking. From this, it seemed this Fire Qilin was practically a divine beast, its strength comparable to a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator. While it might not seem like much to Lin Yaoxie, in this world, a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator was already considered a top expert. Few in this world could defeat it; only top-tier powerhouses could kill it. With a little training, it would likely reach the peak of Foundation Establishment very quickly. That way, he wouldn't even need to lift a finger; whoever offended him could simply have the Fire Qilin bite them to death. How satisfying would that be?

Chapter 226: Subduing the Fire Qilin

Thinking of this, Lin Yaoxie said directly to the Sword Saint, "Sword Saint, you go down first, let me deal with this Fire Qilin."

Upon hearing this, the Sword Saint breathed a sigh of relief. The frustration of having the strength but being unable to unleash it had almost driven him mad. He wasn't worried at all that Lin Yaoxie couldn't defeat that beast. If Lin Yaoxie couldn't defeat it, then who in this world could?

After the Sword Saint left, the Fire Qilin stared wide-eyed at Lin Yaoxie with its huge, light bulb-like eyes, clearly sensing Lin Yaoxie's power.

"You beast, you're really perceptive. Only top figures can sense my power, but I didn't expect you, a beast, could sense it too," Lin Yaoxie said with a smile as he looked at the Fire Qilin.

"Hoo Hoo Hoo"

The fire qilin roared at Lin Yaoxie, its claws slapping the ground repeatedly, as if to taunt Lin Yaoxie and warn him not to mess with it.

"A beast is a beast. Even though you sensed my power, you're still so brainless. You know why I'm here, right? That's right, I want you to be my mount. Show me what you've got!" Lin Yaoxie stretched out his right hand and beckoned the fire qilin with his little finger.

"Roar"

The fire qilin roared even louder. Although it didn't know what Lin Yaoxie was saying, it could sense Lin Yaoxie's contempt for it, which it could not tolerate.

No matter when or where it goes, other creatures always flee, and it is always prey. There was only one exception: it was ambushed and severely injured. Now, a creature saw it and not only did not run away, but also mocked it. This is something that even the Fire Qilin's father could not tolerate.

Although it sensed that the little thing in front of it was somewhat powerful, that didn't matter. It was far more powerful and wanted to teach the little thing a lesson so that it would never dare to underestimate it again. Even if it couldn't win, it could always run away.

As a divine beast, the Fire Qilin has developed a certain level of intelligence, although it is only equivalent to that of a five or six-year-old child. Within its limited intelligence, if it can't win, it will fight first and then deal with the consequences; if it can't win, it will run away and run away the next time it sees the Qilin.

The fire qilin retreated first, then suddenly charged towards Lin Yaoxie. Its huge body, covered in extremely hot flames, rushed towards Lin Yaoxie like a raging tidal wave after an explosion. The fire qilin wanted to kill Lin Yaoxie by crashing into him, something it had done many times before.

Lin Yaoxie still had a smile on his face, and directly stretched out his right arm, placing his right hand directly on the head that the fire qilin had bumped into.

"boom"

The Fire Qilin and Lin Yaoxie's right hands collided instantly, producing a loud sound. The Fire Qilin's fierce charge was instantly blocked by Lin Yaoxie with one hand.

Lin Yaoxie's body did not tremble in the slightest.

"Not bad, you have at least the strength of ten thousand jin, but you are still far inferior to me," Lin Yaoxie said with a smile.

When the fire qilin was blocked, its eyes seemed to pop out of their sockets. It could hardly believe its eyes. What incredible power this was! It had never seen a creature stronger than itself. In the past, it could usually defeat any creature it encountered with a single ramming attack. Even if a creature broke through its defenses, it would simply dodge. No one could rival its strength. With its limited intelligence, it couldn't understand how such a small body could possess such immense power.

Not only was the Fire Qilin's eyes wide open, but the Sword Saint beside him was also astonished and his mouth dropped open. Although he was thinking about his Sword Twenty-Three, he was still paying attention to Lin Yaoxie's battle. When he saw that Lin Yaoxie had blocked the impact of ten thousand catties with just one hand, he even rubbed his eyes. He couldn't believe what he was seeing.

After all, Lin Yaoxie only used his swordsmanship and not his physical strength when fighting him, so the Sword Saint was shocked because he didn't know that Lin Yaoxie's physical strength was so abnormal.

Although the Fire Qilin was shocked, it did not give up. It immediately swung its claw at Lin Yaoxie's head. Lin Yaoxie was not panicked at all. He just looked impatient and slapped the Fire Qilin on the head as if he were swatting a fly.

"boom"

The Fire Qilin was slapped against the wall by Lin Yaoxie, instantly breaking through the wall in front of Lin Yaoxie. The Fire Qilin was dizzy and could not stand up again.

It's not fair to say the Fire Qilin wasn't powerful; its strength of ten thousand jin is no joke. However, it unfortunately encountered Lin Yaoxie. In another world, Lin Yaoxie possessed a combined strength of one hundred thousand jin with a single shout, dozens of times that of the Fire Qilin. The two were simply not on the same level. The Fire Qilin's only strength was its power. Its flames were effective against lower-level opponents, but they were insufficient against a top-tier expert like Lin Yaoxie.

The Fire Qilin's strengths were completely countered by Lin Yaoxie, so how could it possibly defeat Lin Yaoxie?

"Beast, I'll ask you one more time, are you willing to submit to me or not?" Lin Yaoxie said slowly as he approached the Fire Qilin.

"Roar"

The fire qilin opened its mouth wide and spewed out a burst of flames, trying to burn Lin Yaoxie to death. Clearly, the fire qilin was unwilling to submit to Lin Yaoxie and was making a final effort.

"It seems you won't submit unless I teach you a lesson."

Lin Yaoxie waved his hand, extinguishing the flames of the Fire Qilin. Then, he came behind the Fire Qilin, grabbed its tail with his right hand, and with a sudden shout, the Fire Qilin instantly flew up.

Lin Yaoxie grabbed the fire qilin's tail and waved it around in the air, occasionally kicking the fire qilin like a soccer ball, then kicking it back, having a great time. The fleshy feeling made Lin Yaoxie very happy.

Lin Yaoxie was happy, but Huo Qilin was miserable.

"Hoo Hoo Hoo"

"Waaaaah"

The fire qilin had been roaring angrily, but in the end it whimpered like a puppy, with large tears welling up in its eyes. The fire qilin cried.

When Lin Yaoxie saw the Fire Qilin crying, he stopped playing football.

"You beast, do you submit now?"

Chapter 227: The Ten Strongest Martial Arts

"woooooo"

The Fire Qilin looked at Lin Yaoxie with teary eyes, like a wronged little wife.

Seeing that the Fire Qilin had submitted, Lin Yaoxie jumped onto its back and sat down.

"Since your name is Fire Qilin, I will call you Ah Huo from now on, understand?"

The fire qilin stood up and nodded with its huge head, indicating that it understood.

Lin Yaoxie glanced back at the still-shocked Sword Saint and said with a smile, "Sword Saint, you take the others back first. I have some things to take care of. I'll be back in a while."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Upon hearing Lin Yaoxie's voice, the Sword Saint immediately awoke, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and led the others away from Lingyun Cave.

Lin Yaoxie originally brought so many people to lure out the Fire Qilin. After all, Lingyun Cave is too big and crisscrossed. If one takes the wrong path, one could get lost. Bringing so many people was to prevent getting lost and to find the Fire Qilin. Now that the Fire Qilin has been subdued, these people are no longer of any use here.

After watching the Sword Saint leave, Lin Yaoxie immediately ordered the Fire Qilin, "Ah Huo, go to your lair."

"Roar"

The fire qilin ran towards its lair like a madman. Lin Yaoxie sat on the fire qilin, watching the scenery around him disappear quickly, and felt a sense of comfort. It's good to have a mount. You don't have to travel by yourself, and it's also very cool. Most importantly, you can do "that" on it. Right, I'll let my wives come out later and try this new feeling.

Lin Yaoxie didn't think for long before the Fire Qilin stopped. Lin Yaoxie dismounted and began to observe the surroundings. He discovered that the cave was filled with densely packed, red pearl-like things. Lin Yaoxie knew that these were the so-called Blood Bodhi.

When I watched the TV series before, I learned that Nie Feng's power increased greatly after consuming this thing. It is a rare treasure in the series that can enhance strength.

Lin Yaoxie swallowed the Blood Bodhi in his hand and immediately felt his true energy increase slightly. Although it was only a little, it excited Lin Yaoxie. After all, for someone like him who was almost at the peak of Foundation Establishment and would reach the Golden Core stage with one more step, every bit of increase in true energy was very difficult.

The fact that this Blood Bodhi can increase the true qi of a Foundation Establishment Peak cultivator is enough to prove its value. It seems that the Fire Qilin truly deserves to be called a divine beast. Even the companion creatures of its dwelling place have such effects. If one were to eat the Fire Qilin, wouldn't one's power increase greatly?

Thinking this, Lin Yaoxie glanced at the Fire Qilin, who was looking at the cave dwelling with a lingering look.

The Fire Qilin, who was feeling sad, suddenly felt a chill on its body, as if it were being watched by something bad. The Fire Qilin looked around warily, but found nothing. It thought it was just its imagination and didn't pay any attention to it. It continued to feel sad alone in its old nest where it had lived for who knows how long.

The Fire Qilin didn't feel like it was about to become Lin Yaoxie's meal at all. Fortunately, Lin Yaoxie only thought about it and didn't have any intention of killing the Fire Qilin to cook it. Otherwise, the silly Fire Qilin wouldn't even know it was being sold.

Regardless of the Fire Qilin's sadness, Lin Yaoxie felt an effect after consuming one Blood Bodhi and ate several more until his true energy stopped increasing. After consuming the Blood Bodhi, Lin Yaoxie immediately felt his strength increase, but this also gave him a sense of bottleneck. He realized that he had truly reached the peak of Foundation Establishment, and even if he encountered other rare and precious materials, it would be of no use. If he wanted to increase his strength, there was only one way: to break through to the Golden Core stage.

Only in this way can he make great progress.

After Lin Yaoxie collected the few remaining Blood Bodhis, he called over the grieving Fire Qilin, mounted it, and asked, "Fire Qilin, have you explored this entire area?"

"Roar"

The Fire Qilin nodded, indicating that it had already traveled to every part of Lingyun Cave. This did not surprise Lin Yaoxie, after all, it had lived here for so many years, and even if Lingyun Cave was very large, it should have been able to explore it all.

"Now that you've explored the whole area, lead me to a place with forks in all directions. These forks should be close to the exit. There shouldn't be many forks like this. Lead me to them one by one," Lin Yaoxie commanded directly.

"Roar"

The fire-breathing qilin nodded its enormous head, indicating that it understood.

Led by the Fire Qilin, Lin Yaoxie began searching for a place near the exit where there was a fork in the road.

You probably already know why Lin Yaoxie was looking for the fork in the road near the exit; that's right, it was for the top ten martial arts techniques.

The Ten Strongest Martial Arts, also known as the Xuanwu True Skill, were created by Wu Wudi after he secluded himself in Lingyun Cave for twenty years to defeat Xu Fu, who had transformed into the Blood Demon. He was also known as one of the Ten Strongest Martial Artists.

The ten strongest martial arts are divided into knife, spear, sword, halberd, staff, fist, palm, leg, claw, and finger. Each of the invincible martial artists created their own powerful martial arts, and with the extremely powerful Xuanwu True Skill, they defeated Xu Fu, who was immortal and carried phoenix blood, and prevented Xu Fu from showing his face in the world for twenty years. It was not until twenty years later that Xu Fu reappeared in the martial arts world.

To defeat the immortal Xu Fu with the body of an ordinary person, and to make him almost afraid to show his face in the martial arts world, what powerful martial arts this is! Therefore, Lin Yaoxie has always been very interested in the Xuanwu True Skill.

Now that he had come to Lingyun Cave, and the Xuanwu True Skill was also there, he naturally had no reason to miss it. In the original TV series, the location of the Xuanwu True Skill was not revealed, but in Lin Yaoxie's opinion, it was definitely at the fork in the road at some exit.

Sure enough, when the Fire Qilin led Lin Yaoxie to the third fork in the road, Lin Yaoxie spotted the protruding rock and tapped it lightly.

"Empty"

The stone wall immediately emitted a signal that it was empty inside. Lin Yaoxie understood that he had found the right place. It seemed that this was the place where Wu Wudi left behind the Xuanwu True Qi.

Lin Yaoxie smashed through the wall in front of him with a single palm strike, arriving in another grotto-heaven. ...

Chapter 228: The Birth of a Peerless Sword

After Lin Yaoxie entered the cave behind the wall, he immediately spotted a figure under a golden light.

The golden figure was performing a set of fist techniques, which were unpredictable and extremely exquisite.

Just as Lin Yaoxie was watching this figure, a voice suddenly appeared in Lin Yaoxie's mind.

"Have you learned the A-level martial art 'Xuanwu True Skill'?"

"Yes"

Lin Yaoxie naturally agreed. When Lin Yaoxie clicked "agree," his mind was instantly filled with many memories, as if someone had deliberately implanted them. This made his mastery of the Xuanwu True Skill even more effortless.

Lin Yaoxie nodded in satisfaction. He had initially thought that having only one A-level sword technique was too monotonous. Although it was powerful, it wasn't a long-term solution. He wanted to understand the way of the sword, and there was no way to succeed by following only one path. He had to learn the martial arts of various schools and understand their mysteries to advance his comprehension of the sword.

Kendo is not a separate path; it incorporates the advantages of other paths, after all, the greatest truths are the simplest.

Just as Lin Yaoxie was about to leave after thinking about this, another voice rang in his mind.
