Chapter 58

The vast wilderness jungle spans the entire Eastern County of Shenzhou, a place that ordinary people find hard to cross in a hundred years.

The wilderness jungle is boundless, with ferocious beasts rampant and dangers lurking everywhere. Entering it, the slightest carelessness can lead to one's downfall.

The Qilin Mountains are located at the boundary between the outer and central regions of the wilderness jungle. The 800-mile Qilin Mountains are a place where ferocious beasts run rampant, extremely dangerous.

Lin Feng and Huo Xuanli arrived at the Qilin Mountains. On the way, Lin Feng and Huo Xuanli had many exchanges. From Huo Xuanli, Lin Feng learned that the ferocious beast guarding the Xuanming Black Flame Fruit is a terrifying existence, a Qilin with red flames that has awakened its intelligence and knows how to cultivate.

This red-flame Qilin is the king of beasts within a radius of several thousand miles, and no one dares to provoke it.

This time, Lin Feng and Huo Xuanli came to steal the Xuanming Black Flame Fruit guarded by the red-flame Qilin, which is like plucking a hair from a tiger's body, a suicidal act.

However, great wealth comes with great risk. To quickly break through to the Martial Master realm, Lin Feng decided to take the risk.

"Roar!"

Not long after entering the Qilin Mountains, a deafening roar echoed.

Then, a tiger with a snow-white body and many spots leaped out.

This tiger, standing five meters tall and eight meters long, was massive, with cold, intelligent eyes that looked at Lin Feng and Huo Xuanli with a cruel gaze.

"Slanted-Eyed Golden-Eyed Tiger"!

Lin Feng was surprised; he had seen the description of this tiger in the *Classic of Mountains and Seas*.

The Slanted-Eyed Golden-Eyed Tiger is an extremely rare breed among tigers. This tiger is huge and incredibly strong. Most importantly, it has awakened its intelligence from birth, like a human, and can absorb the essence of heaven and earth to cultivate, far surpassing ordinary ferocious beasts.

"Roar!" The Slanted-Eyed Golden-Eyed Tiger roared and pounced at Lin Feng and Huo Xuanli.

Its massive paws fiercely struck at the two.

"Haha, Junior Brother Lin, step back, let me take on this Slanted-Eyed Golden-Eyed Tiger," Huo Xuanli said with a laugh.

Lin Feng nodded and quickly retreated several meters.

Huo Xuanli directly faced the Slanted-Eyed Golden-Eyed Tiger. Despite the huge size difference, Huo Xuanli showed no fear and punched the tiger with all his might.

Bang!

The two clashed fiercely, and a powerful shockwave spread out, causing the ground to tremble. Huo Xuanli, ranked seventh in the inner court of Jialan Academy, did not fall behind in the direct confrontation with the Slanted-Eyed Golden-Eyed Tiger.

After dozens of rounds of intense battle, Huo Xuanli seized an opportunity, leaped up, and jumped onto the tiger's back, riding on its neck and punching its head, making the tiger dazed.

The Slanted-Eyed Golden-Eyed Tiger let out a low roar, suddenly shook its neck, and threw Huo Xuanli off, then disappeared into the forest.

"Haha, what a thrilling battle, truly exhilarating," Huo Xuanli said with a laugh.

"Senior Brother, to be able to fight such a ferocious beast like the Slanted-Eyed Golden-Eyed Tiger is truly impressive, I admire you," Lin Feng said.

"I have just practiced for a few years longer than you. With your talent, once you break through to the Martial Master realm, you will soar to new heights and quickly catch up," Huo Xuanli said with a smile.

Lin Feng and Huo Xuanli continued on their journey. After a day, they reached the depths of the Qilin Mountains.

Huo Xuanli said, "Junior Brother, see that valley ahead? That is the lair of the red-flame Qilin, and the Xuanming Black Flame Fruit grows there."

"Um," Lin Feng nodded.

At that moment, four figures flew in from the distance.

"Senior Brother Huo, look..." Lin Feng pointed to the four figures flying in from the distance.

"Goodness, these people all know the art of flying and teleporting, they are all experts at the Yin-Yang realm?" Huo Xuanli was greatly surprised.

Lin Feng and Huo Xuanli deeply hid themselves in the forest.

The four experts arrived, and they sensed that something might happen here.

These four experts were two men and two women.

One was a knight in golden armor, holding a holy sword, riding a flying lion.

One was a mysterious figure shrouded in a black robe.

One was a beautiful woman in a snow-white dress, with an ethereal and otherworldly aura.

One was a seductive woman in a red dress, resembling a fox spirit.

"Boom..."!

A terrifying aura emanated from the depths of the Qilin Mountains.

"Roar..."!

Then, a deep roar echoed through the heavens and earth.

A massive ferocious beast, enveloped in flames, flew out.

This ferocious beast was over ten meters tall and twenty meters long, with a body that seemed to contain the power to destroy heaven and earth.

The red-flame Qilin appeared.

"Human cultivators, you have crossed the boundary..." The red-flame Qilin coldly looked at the four human experts floating in the air.

These four human experts were clearly not from the same faction. They stood separately, each wary of the others.

The seductive woman giggled and said, "Red-Flame Qilin, we seem to have met before. I remember when you transformed into a human to train, we explored the underwater secrets together in the overseas world!"

"Feng Yaorao, that was a long time ago, don't try to curry favor with me," the red-flame Qilin clearly did not give the seductive woman any face. Her seductive eyes narrowed slightly, a cold light flashing in them.

The other woman said, "Now that the Xuanming Black Flame Fruit has ripened, we have come to exchange for one with you, Red-Flame Qilin."

"Hmph, don't even think about it, I will not agree," the red-flame Qilin directly refused.

"Would you want to keep such a heavenly fruit all to yourself?" the man in golden armor said coldly.

"I have guarded this rare treasure for a hundred years until it ripened. You think you can just come and take it with a few words? Not that easy," the red-flame Qilin responded with a cold laugh.

The woman in white said, "We will offer you enough treasures in exchange, we will not let you down."

"I don't need them, leave quickly, or don't blame me for being ruthless," the red-flame Qilin's attitude was extremely firm, his voice icy cold.

The black-robed cultivator said with a cold laugh, "Since you won't agree, we will have to use force. Everyone, let's join forces to deal with this red-flame Qilin, then take the Xuanming Black Flame Fruit. What do you think?"

"Good, let's do it..." The four experts reached an agreement.

Boom!

In the next moment, the four experts burst into action, charging at the red-flame Qilin.

The red-flame Qilin roared, "Since you seek death, I will send you to the afterlife."

"Red Flame Burn the Heavens."

As the red-flame Qilin roared, a rumbling sound echoed through the sky. Endless flames appeared in the void, burning the heavens and earth, surrounding the four experts. The red-flame Qilin intended to use its demonic fire to burn them to death.
