Chapter 1101: Chapter 512: Welcoming the King’s Awakening, Qilin of the Holy Land!

Do gods bleed?

Perhaps ordinary people cannot answer this, but for Gu Jianlin, it is certain.

Gods do bleed!

The Ghost Car Ancestor hurriedly stepped back, his hands swiftly forming seals, as he spat out a scorching flame that roared fiercely with the howling wind, like a wildfire spreading across the plain.

The crimson light illuminated his pale face and the gleam of a blade reflected in his eyes!

The battle was approaching its climax, with both sides having revealed most of their trump cards. What remained was a pure close-combat fight to determine the winner, a perilous process where every strike drew blood!

The searing stream of fire was suddenly split in two, cut apart by an extremely fast blade!

Gu Jianlin charged through the intense heatwave, his short hair singed and blackened, his bare torso covered in bruises from iron scales, burning with sparks, and though his flesh was torn and burned by the flames, his ghost knife, wreathed in blood Qi, brazenly unleashed a slash with a roar like a furious dragon!

This slash nearly cleaved the Ghost Car Ancestor in half, as a horrific line of blood split open his chest, spraying blood onto his face, the startled and perplexed expression reflecting the face of the young man.

This guy is insane!

Not just because Gu Jianlin stubbornly forced his way through the exploding flames, but more importantly, in the moment he swung his blade, the Ancestor had already raised his right index finger, aiming like a gun ready to fire.

Any normal person would dodge in such a situation, but Gu Jianlin recklessly charged straight in, as if he was courting death.

"Are you so confident in your speed?"

The Ghost Car Ancestor’s eyes were icy, his slender fingers gathering trembling droplets of water that suddenly exploded.

BANG!

At a critical moment, Gu Jianlin tilted his head, as a high-pressure water jet, fired almost point-blank, exploded by his ear, rupturing his eardrum, spraying drifting blood.

He responded with speed.

With the power of the Candle Dragon, there was room for confidence or arrogance!

Bloodstained and murderous intent plain on his face, he attempted a downward slash with Nine Yin Reversal, but the arc of the blade suddenly halted mid-air, the sharp whistling quieted by the wind.

For his right shoulder had turned to stone, his entire arm sealed.

The Ghost Car Ancestor’s left hand pressed on his right shoulder, unleashing a massive surge of mental power with skilled force, pushing hard!

BOOM!

Gu Jianlin was sent flying, his right hand suddenly exerting force to shatter the solidified stone, and as he refocused, he saw successive high-pressure water jets coming relentlessly, each one compressed to the extreme! 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

This was the utilization of the five elements: Earth, Wind, Water, Fire, and Spirit.

Even in close combat against a Ghost Slayer, a Heavenly Master of the Ghost Car Ancestor’s rank would not be at a disadvantage.

At this critical moment, Gu Jianlin unhesitatingly darted forward, evading the exploding water droplets, and when he landed again, he was back where he started, ears ringing with noise, hearing almost lost.

Unfortunately, the Ghost Car Ancestor had already retreated to a safe distance, this god from the Ancient Times had maintained control over the battlefield, every move measured and striking at the vital points.

Particularly his positioning, which was strategically sound.

Gu Jianlin almost couldn’t get close to him.

For the Ghost Car Ancestor, this was not an easy battle, but the most dangerous fight in a thousand years. The two were not predator and prey but equals in a contest.

As the high and mighty Ancestor, he hadn’t been forced into such a situation for a long time.

Gu Jianlin held a supreme position but couldn’t fully wield such supreme power due to his rank, and his combat experience was not abundant, making this unlikely to be so difficult.

Yet he underestimated this young man’s will.

Or rather, his killing intent!

Thinking in human terms, continuing like this would likely lead to unexpected changes, so the Ancestor planned to end it quickly.

"No wonder the Kui Bird couldn’t kill you."

The Ghost Car Ancestor clasped his hands together, the earth trembling violently, sharp rocky spikes bursting forth from the ground!

Gu Jianlin was trapped within the thorny rocks, the ground softening suddenly, as if trying to swallow him.

Each attack from the Ghost Car Ancestor was designed to exhaust the opponent’s spirituality.

Sure enough, a dragon-like blade sound echoed.

Gu Jianlin unleashed the Soul Blade Sound, the dragon’s roar disrupting the rock spikes’ spiritual structure, and then he countered with dazzling arcs of his blade, effortlessly shattering the surrounding rocks.

Even so, his neck, shoulder, and left arm were scraped with bleeding wounds.

His breathing grew heavy, the spirituality he’d replenished was once again nearing depletion.

However, the Ghost Car Ancestor wasn’t done. The water droplets he’d sliced scattered into sharp ice spikes in the air, the howling wind condensed into blades, and the stirred sand and stone gathered into sharp ridges, with scorching ash floating around.

Using thought as a force field, the four elements of Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire engulfed the youth in a storm!

Gu Jianlin made an unexpected decision, not using any abilities, simply gripping his blade, recklessly diving forward, fearlessly crashing into the elemental storm!

Even as the wind blades and ice spikes cut him into a battered state, the stone ridges and ash shredded his chest into a bloody mess, he didn’t pause. The torrent of blade lights tore through the elemental storm like brushes leaving fierce ink marks on xuan paper, the blade sound like an angry roar.
