Bai Ren stepped forward.
With a single step, he vanished and reappeared high above the battlefield, white robes snapping violently as Immortal Qi surged beneath his feet.
The pressure he released was sharp and deliberate, aimed directly at the colossal figure in the sky.
The Half-Qilin's pupils contracted.
Before it could react, Bai Ren had already crossed half the distance, stopping just outside its killing range—close enough to provoke, far enough to mock.
He smiled.
"Didn't you learn your lesson from last time?"
Bai Ren said lightly, his voice carrying clearly through the heavens.
The Half-Qilin froze for a heartbeat—
Then it roared.
A furious, earth-shaking roar that sent shockwaves rippling through the clouds.
Its Qi flared violently, crimson flames licking along its scales as killing intent flooded the sky.
"Don't be arrogant, human!" the Half-Qilin thundered.
"You only managed to injure me because of your weapon. Today, I will shred you to pieces!"
