Chapter 81: Chapter 81 Fire Kirin

The ancient Wilderness Jungle was originally a domain where fierce beasts roamed freely.

But today, many of these fierce beasts had fled to the deeper parts of the Wilderness Jungle.

Because there had been an influx of human cultivators entering the Wilderness Jungle recently.

Even fierce beasts knew when to seek good fortune and avoid calamity.

These cultivators who entered the Wilderness Jungle were naturally there for the legendary Fire Kirin.

The Fire Kirin’s body was a treasure all over!

...

All the great forces wanted a piece of the action.

Thus, the Wilderness Jungle was bustling nowadays, with Lin Feng, Dugu Kuangdao, and others entering in search of the Fire Kirin’s hiding place.

“Brother Dugu, have you seen the Fire Kirin before?” Lin Feng asked.

“I have seen the Fire Kirin from a distance, standing atop a mountain peak, shrouded in flames, like a holy beast made of fire, sacred and inviolable.”

Dugu Kuangdao recalled the scene when he had seen the Fire Kirin previously, etched vividly into his memory, an unforgettable sight.

Lin Feng said with a wry smile, “Such a formidable being, and yet, it ends up being the target of a hunt by forces from all sides.”

Dugu Kuangdao responded, “This is a once-in-a-millennium opportunity. A holy beast like the Fire Kirin has always been a mystical being known only in rumors. It’s unclear why it has appeared in our small corner of the True Martial Country. Moreover, this holy beast seems weak and possibly severely injured. This is an excellent opportunity to kill the Fire Kirin. If we wait for it to recover, even experts from the Yin Yang Realm would likely face a dead end before it.”

Lin Feng nodded and added, “Indeed, hunting such a being is no easy feat.”

After three days of travel, they finally reached the mountain forest where the Fire Kirin was hiding.

Here, the temperature had drastically increased, which was likely related to the Fire Kirin.

“Look, there’s the Fire Kirin!”

Dugu Kuangdao pointed to a valley, and as Lin Feng looked over, he saw a massive beast enveloped in flames lying in the valley.

The sheer size of the beast, as large as a mountain, delivered a powerful visual shock to Lin Feng.

“Is that the Fire Kirin? It’s enormous! As big as a mountain—surely not even a Yin Yang Realm expert could deal with such a terrifying creature?”

Lin Feng was astonished.

“This Fire Kirin, if in its prime, could kill a Yin Yang Realm expert with a swipe of its paw. But now, look at it, half-dead; you should realize that it likely can’t hold on much longer and has hardly any fighting strength left,”

Dugu Kuangdao observed.

“Uh-huh.”

Lin Feng nodded in agreement, Dugu Kuangdao’s assessment was accurate.

The Fire Kirin before them lay on the ground, motionless, possibly due to “severe injuries.”

Around them, a dense crowd of cultivators had gathered, each observing the Fire Kirin from different positions, but none took any rash actions.

Even in its dying moments, the Fire Kirin remained an Ancient Fierce Beast, and its attacks became even more terrifying when it neared death—beyond what an ordinary cultivator could withstand.

Besides, whether the Fire Kirin was genuinely injured or weak due to other reasons was still unknown.

Naturally, nobody acted recklessly.

Furthermore, everyone was waiting for the arrival of a Yin Yang Realm expert from among the Ancient Forces.

“Whoosh.”

From afar, the skies were enveloped in a sweeping golden radiance.

Within the endless golden light, a man clad in a golden robe flew towards them.

“Jin Yichen.”

Someone exclaimed, recognizing the identity of this powerful figure. He came from an exceptionally extraordinary background, the descendant of the “Jin Family” from the East County Divine Land—a family of ancient nobility with a prestigious reputation. Although young, his cultivation had reached the profound Tongxuan level and his strength was so formidable that he could even overwhelm many older generation experts who had established their names long ago.

Jin Yichen’s gold clothes fluttered, and his long golden hair billowed in the wind, making him look exceptionally handsome.

He stood in the void, looking towards the valley, but he was not in a hurry to make a move.

“Whoosh.”

From a distance, another figure arrived.

This was a powerhouse shrouded in a black robe, surrounded by roiling demonic fog, evidently a master of the Demon Dao.

“It’s an expert from the Soul Devouring Hall…” someone said with considerable dread. The Soul Devouring Hall was a Demon Dao force with a formidable reputation in the East County Divine Land. The combined siege from the Ten Great Ancient Cities years ago couldn’t eliminate this demonic force, which testified to the terrible extent of Soul Devouring Hall’s power.

Lin Feng looked at the expert from the Soul Devouring Hall and slightly furrowed his brow. Previously, when he entered the Wilderness Jungle for training, he and Murong Xue had encountered “Yuwen Yunfeng” from the Soul Devouring Hall. This Yuwen Yunfeng seemed to be the grandson of one of the Soul Devouring Hall’s elders, which made his identity anything but ordinary.

“It’s truly baffling that a Holy Beast like the Fire Kirin would appear in a barren place like the East County Divine Land.”

From a distance, a voice came through—it belonged to a man carrying a longsword on his back, resembling a Sword Immortal.

“Little Sword Demon, Li Baige.”

People cried out in surprise, as the identity of the newcomer was no small matter. This man, a Loose Cultivator, had soared to prominence after obtaining the Taoist legacy of an ancient powerhouse, earning him a lofty reputation in the East County Divine Land.

In the blink of an eye, three Yin Yang Realm Experts had arrived.

Lin Feng said, “What does Li Baige mean? Why does he say the East County Divine Land is a barren land? This East County Divine Land is vast and rich in resources, an area mortals would struggle to cross over ten lifetimes, teeming with countless resources. How is it barren?”

Dugu Kuangdao responded with a wry smile and said, “Brother Yang, you are not aware, but beyond the East County Divine Land, there are ninety-nine other provinces, overseas worlds, even Immortal Islands. Some of these places even boast of Divine Spirits…”

“Sss!”

Lin Feng inhaled sharply.

Divine Spirits!

Those were beings from mythological stories.

Now, in other provinces, Divine Spirits actually existed.

With that comparison, the East County Divine Land indeed seemed inferior to the other provinces.

“The king of a hundred beasts, dead yet undying. A dying beast is like an entrapped dragon. This Fire Kirin looks to be in dire straits, but will not be easy to deal with. How about we three join forces?” Jin Yichen proposed.

The black-robed figure from the Soul Devouring Hall let out a sinister laugh and said, “Good, let’s join hands and slay the Fire Kirin. As for how to distribute the treasures from its body, we can discuss that after it’s been slain.”

“Since you both agree, then I have no objections,” the Little Sword Demon Li Baige added.

“Take action…”

With a low shout from Jin Yichen, whoosh, a red-gold Battle Spear appeared in his hand. Holding the Battle Spear, he flew towards the Fire Kirin in the valley.

In the hands of the Soul Devouring Hall’s figure in the black robe was a chain.

The Little Sword Demon Li Baige drew his treasure sword directly, brandishing it and charging toward the Fire Kirin.
