NOVEL NEXT Chapter 219 Qilin Demon
"Qilin Demon Nie Feng is a formidable enemy," Qing Yu muttered to himself silently.
The Qilin Demon from the anime version isn't like the one from the TV series, which started off strong but ended up with a tiger's head and a snake's tail.
There's a line in the original text that goes like this, "When the dragon's reign is at an end, a demon shall emerge; with the appearance of the Qilin Demon, calamity shall extend across the divine land."
The Qilin Demon mentioned here is the demon among demons, a calamity that could extend across the divine land. Xiong Ba, who ultimately transformed into a demon in the TV series, was portrayed as the Qilin Demon.
It was not until the final battle against Lian Chengzhi in the later stages that Nie Feng, with great determination and willpower, went into retreat in Lingyun Cave and successfully tamed the Demon Heart.
But Nie Feng's strength back then was far from the Qilin Demon's at this time, and his Demon Heart was not comparable to the Demon Heart of now. Qing Yu didn't have to worry about being ground into the dirt by the Qilin Demon Nie Feng.
At this moment, Qing Yu had stripped away the Xuanyin Sword Energy. Although he could still wield Sword Qi, his combat power had indeed decreased compared to before.
That's why the Qilin Demon Nie Feng is a formidable enemy.
But that's all he is, a formidable enemy.
"System, open the Inheritance Space, I want to challenge the Qilin Demon Nie Feng."
"Inheritance Space opening..."
With the familiar blurring of his vision (how many times has this phrase been used?), Qing Yu found himself in a stone cave.
Not far in front of him was an empty pit, surely the Blood Pool for cultivating the Demon Sword. By now, all the Demon Blood in the Blood Pool had been absorbed by Nie Feng, who then forced it into the giant "Demon" character below.
However, the "Demon" character was still missing the last stroke, thus remaining incomplete.
This was where Nie Feng first succumbed to demonization. At the time, Nie Feng, whose transformation was interrupted, still retained a trace of sanity, and could suppress his demonic nature with Dragon Vein.
It was only later when the Emperor, gambling on Nie Feng's life, used Yan Ying, Nie Feng's mother of unknown generations, as bait to set a trap and set Nie Feng on fire, that the Qilin Demon truly came into being.
Qing Yu moved forward a few steps and saw, at the top of the giant "Demon" character, a handsome young man with a ferocious aura.
Nie Feng now had one eye that was blood-red, conveying deep demonic nature and killing intent. A bloodstain, like an inverted horn on his forehead, appeared like a demon's eye, emitting a bizarre and sinister presence.
That was the Qilin Demon Nie Feng, the enemy Qing Yu was here to challenge.
Without any need for words, the demonized Nie Feng saw Qing Yu and immediately leaped up, his Snow Blade raised high and descending rapidly with an extreme and fierce force.
Demon Extreme Slaughter.
Annihilating all affections, the demon becomes even more demonic. His move was a fierce and wild cut, his will to kill uncontrollable.
Facing the ultimate demonic blade, Qing Yu pushed both hands upwards, one hand performing two forms returning elements while the other executed Arhat Unloading.
The Tai Chi Diagram formed, absorbing Blade Energy, and the Buddha Light shone, purging the demonic nature. With both methods combined, Buddhism and Dao coalesced, turning these two Absolute Skills into extensions of Qing Yu's own body, effortlessly executed.
Facing these two powerful Absolute Skills, the Blade Energy and demonic nature of Snow Blade vanished like snow melting under the spring sun.
Without that extreme Sword Force, Demon Extreme Slaughter was nothing more than a Powerful Slash of Huashan.
Of course, Nie Feng would not just give up. The demonized heart within him was consumed by the desire to kill, and setbacks would not deter him.
Once again, the Sword Force of Snow Blade surged, and the violent Demonic Qi burst forth, driving an unstoppable Sword Force.
Demonic Qi swept across.
At the same time, Nie Feng, standing on one leg mid-air, kicked out seven times in an instant, targeting Qing Yu's vital points with his other leg. The sweeping Demonic Qi was but a feint; the real attack was the move "Demon Stepping Seven Stars."
The Demon Sword, originally created by the First Evil Emperor with only six techniques, had three more techniques added by Nie Feng with his extraordinary comprehension. Among them were two leg techniques, which, strictly speaking, were not part of the Demon Sword style. One of these was "Demon Stepping Seven Stars," one of the two leg techniques.
A series of kicks aimed at Qing Yu's vital points, but each struck as if hitting metal, resonating with a clang.
A layer of golden light enveloped Qing Yu's entire body, including his Daoist robe, making him appear as if a Heavenly God had descended to earth, radiating supremely divine majesty.
The Golden Bell Shield's eleventh level.
The powerful reverberating force caused Nie Feng's leg bones to emit a friction sound, propelling him to fly backward.
Electric lights sparkled beneath Qing Yu's feet as the speed of the Thunder God Illness instantly caught up with the retreating figure. His fists, carrying the piercing strength to tear flesh and sunder muscle, struck Nie Feng's chest and abdomen.
His clothes burst apart, soaked in blood, two significant wounds appeared on Nie Feng's upper body, but in the blink of an eye, they were healed, leaving only slight red marks.
The regenerative powers of the Qilin Demon were also a major highlight, even Qing Yu's Buddha Skill for suppressing demons couldn't prevent the rapid healing.
Qing Yu had a premonition that this regenerative ability was the Qilin Demon's greatest advantage.
After suffering another heavy blow, Nie Feng's backward flight didn't cease. But he stepped on empty air, bursting out Qi Force to repel himself backward, his legs wildly dancing, unleashing overwhelming leg energy that struck Qing Yu, who was in pursuit.
Demonic Rampage.
Simultaneously, he commanded his Qi to control his sword; the Snow Blade spiraled down through the air, its fierce Blade Energy piercing to the bone.
Demon Swordsmanship·Magic Following the Sky.
"Futile moves."
Qing Yu still didn't dodge or evade, his formidable external power gave him the boldness to act recklessly. The Snow Blade struck his head but failed to damage even the lotus crown.
The Red and Blue Gang Qi formed a Tai Chi Diagram, Pure Yin Xuan Qi and Fierce Yang Gang Qi combined. This was not merely mixing two energies together as before, but a fusion of Yin and Yang, erupting with greater power.
Yin Yang Tai Chi Diagram.
The balanced Tai Chi Diagram of Yin Yang crashed against the Demonic Rampage. The overwhelming leg energy was repelled by the Tai Chi Diagram, which also carried the force of both types of Gang Qi.
Seeing the Tai Chi Diagram's tremendous power, the blood mark on Nie Feng's forehead that resembled a demonic eye seemed to flash with radiance, and he suddenly disappeared from the spot, turning into wind that was even faster than the wind itself.
His figure appeared in the air, catching the rebounding Snow Blade. The blade reversed, and he sliced a massive gash across his chest. Blood Qi and Demonic Qi clung to the blade, erupting with an even more fierce and powerful Evil Qi.
Blood Blade Demon Skill, the strongest and most unrestrained move, a matter of kill or be killed.
The Demon Sword revolved, following the shadow that descended, sweeping across everything. Like the way of the demon, where it passed, no vitality could exist.
Demonic Rampage.
"Ha!"
With a furious shout, Qing Yu raised his hands, crisscrossing his golden-lit palms, striking the blade of the Snow Blade.
"Hum——"
A deep resonating sound filled the air, tiny Blade Energies carved countless marks on the ground, leaving the vicious traces of Sword Technique.
Nie Feng, affected by the reverberating force, used the momentum to spin away, his figure flickering repeatedly as he once again gathered his strength. His Demon Sword slashed down with the most definitive blow—Devil Blade Love Break.
Blade Energy slashed onto Qing Yu's crossed arms, generating blinding sparks, causing even the golden light to dim momentarily.
"Kill——"
As if a Human Demon roared, after this move, Nie Feng became even more ferocious, each slash creating a hell, fully unleashing the brutal nature of the Blood Blade Demon Skill.
The blood-red blade light seemed Endless, and the momentum was still rising, as if it would never end.
"Dong——"
The golden light burst forth; Qing Yu's body was protected by the Golden Bell, embodying the Taiji, allowing the endless blade light to rain upon him, yet he remained immovable.
