"Roar~"
A sharp roar came from behind Song Zhe.
He had experienced this scenario dozens of times, so he naturally knew how to deal with it.
With a slight stomp of his foot, he instantly unleashed the Free and Easy Wind Control technique.
Suddenly, he soared into the air like a gentle breeze.
This state of flying at full speed consumes a great deal of true energy.
Moreover, in the world of high-level martial arts, his true energy is consumed three to four times faster than before.
In other words, he should not use his full lightness skill unless absolutely necessary.
Otherwise, the recovery speed of the internal energy will not be able to keep up, and sooner or later he will become food for the fire qilin.
"I'll chop off your head sooner or later and have it with my wine."
Song Zhe snorted coldly, then used all his lightness skill to dodge the fire qilin's claws.
Then, he summoned the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass in his right hand and swung it at the Fire Qilin.
However, he had already activated the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass's absolute defense-breaking ability.
Within his living space, his Nine-Leaf Sword Grass will also recover to its optimal state.
In other words, the "absolute defense break" ability can be used twice.
A dazzling starlight sword aura slashed straight at the fire qilin behind him.
"roar!"
The fire qilin let out a loud roar, and a long bloodstain appeared on its claws.
Instead of blood dripping from it, a flame appeared on its claw.
"Come and chase me!"
Using the mountain wall as leverage, Song Zhe transformed into nine figures, which ran in different directions.
He himself headed towards the location of the Blood Bodhi he had explored on previous occasions.
"roar!"
The fire qilin spewed out several fireballs from its mouth, instantly scattering several figures.
Then it chased after the other figures.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Song Zhe activated the Free and Easy Wind Control technique to its peak, increasing his speed.
"I need to hurry up and pick the blood bodhi seeds to try and make a breakthrough."
He's no match for the Fire Qilin in a one-on-one fight now.
The first few dozen times, he fled in panic and couldn't find a way out at all.
The Lingyun Cave was a complex and intricate place, and with the Fire Qilin chasing after him, he was unable to find his way out.
After dozens of explorations, he had already planned a new route before even entering.
This time, all he needed to do is follow the planned route.
Even if he can't get out, he'll just become food for the fire qilin at worst; it's not the first time anyway.
He dies about fifty times a year, and over the years he has died hundreds of times.
There are all sorts of ways to die, so it's nothing new.
"roar!"
Another roar from the fire qilin.
The sound came from the southeast; the clones over there have probably already been killed by the fire qilin.
This time, he hoped to pick more Blood Bodhi seeds to improve his skills.
Although this promotion was only temporary, Song Zhe could still use it as an emergency measure.
"I arrived."
Upon seeing the Blood Bodhi in front of him, Song Zhe immediately reached out and grabbed it.
These fruits are grown from the blood of the Fire Qilin and have the effect of healing serious injuries and enhancing one's power.
He grabbed one and put it in his mouth; before long, the fire qilin would shine down on him.
In his previous trials, he had only ever picked four at most at one time.
It is easy to imagine how terrifying the fire qilin's strength was.
Even with the shadow clones created by the Nine Spiral Shadows, it only delayed things for a short while.
"Get down here."
Song Zhe simply picked up the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass in his right hand and swung it directly at the place where the Blood Bodhi grew.
Those blood bodhi seeds were not easy to pick, otherwise he wouldn't have taken so long.
Immediately afterwards, he withdrew the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass from his hand and reached out with both hands to grab the Blood Bodhi.
"Roar~"
However, at that moment, a Qilin bathed in flames rushed out from the side.
Its enormous body crashed directly into Song Zhe.
Upon seeing this, Song Zhe hurriedly activated the Free and Easy Wind Control technique, lightly tapped his feet, and soared into the air.
At the same time, he put the blood bodhi in his hand into his mouth.
Unfortunately, this stuff doesn't melt in his mouth; he had to chew and absorb it properly.
A loud "boom" resounded.
A huge ball of flame shot towards Song Zhe.
If he gets close to the Fire Qilin, the Fire Qilin will engage him in hand-to-hand combat. Without using his ultimate pierce, he can't hurt the Fire Qilin at all.
But once he gets away from the Fire Qilin, this guy attacks him with flames.
Song Zhe was very passive in ranged attacks and did not have any strong long ranged martial arts skills.
"Dugu Nine Swords, Arrow-Breaking Style".
He roared and bit the blood bodhi in his right hand into his mouth.
Immediately afterwards, the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass appeared and launched a fierce attack on the large fireball in front of it.
At the same time, he pushed off with his feet and leaped across the walls of the cave.
If only he knew the Lingbo Weibu (a martial arts technique) at this moment.
The Lingbo Weibu technique is primarily used in combat, allowing users to flexibly evade enemy attacks.
The Free and Easy Wind Riding technique focuses more on speed and flight, but it consumes too much true energy.
It's far inferior to the Lingbo Weibu (a martial arts technique), which allows you to recover your true energy during battle.
"Roar~"
The fire qilin swung its fiery red claws and slammed them against the mountainside.
The flames engulfing his body intensified even further.
The terrifying temperature made it feel like being instantly placed in a steamer. Even with his internal energy to resist, Song Zhe was still drenched in sweat.
"One more, please."
Song Zhe kicked the fire qilin's horn, then bent down sharply to pick up the blood bodhi he had chopped off.
The flames of the Fire Qilin will burn the Blood Bodhi instantly if it gets tainted by them.
This is why Song Zhe was able to obtain very few Blood Bodhi stones.
It's all because the Fire Qilin went mad and even wanted to burn all those fruits.
Anything that comes into contact with Qilin fire will inevitably cause serious problems.
As for using Qilin blood to forge his own Qilin arm, Song Zhe never even considered it.
Putting aside whether he could take it out, the side effect of going mad was something he didn't want.
Song Zhe, like a monkey trying to catch the moon, scooped up a blood-red Bodhi seed and put it directly into his mouth.
Immediately afterwards, he slashed the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass in his hand toward the side of the Fire Qilin.
The powerful, dazzling starlight instilled fear in the Fire Qilin, causing it to choose to dodge the attack.
Of course, Song Zhe's Starlight Sword Qi this time did not come with any special attributes.
After several experiments, he figured out that the optimal number of attacks was three.
The second attack was purely a feint.
"I was lucky this time."
Song Zhe thought to himself.
Then, while the fire qilin was dodging, he picked up a blood bodhi and put it in his pocket.
Then he grabbed the fruit from his mouth and ate it in big bites.
Even with the Blood Bodhi's restoration, his true energy was already half depleted.
It's easy to imagine how much he was restricted in the world of Fengyun.
"Roar~"
The fire Qilin immediately caught up with Song Zhe.
Song Zhe fled in front, with the fire Qilin chasing behind.
Inside the Lingyun Cave, he was truly trapped with no way to escape; there was absolutely no way he could fly out.
Following the route taken in previous explorations, Song Zhe channeled all his internal energy and desperately fled.
