Fire Qi!
Fire Qi!
"It seems that what you said is correct. However, I have second thoughts. If I had taken all those crystal fragments, what level of power would you reach if you managed to absorb all the Qi cores that were protecting you right now?" Liu Kang asked with a mocking smile.
Whale King Xirus' face darkened slightly. "Although I won't reach my previous cultivation level, it's already better than enough to finish off a puny human like you." he retorted coldly.
"Is that true?" Liu Kang asked, not caring about the threat of the Xirus Whale King.
Tap!
Before anyone could speak, Jane Shang also arrived where they were, making the Whale King Xirus's face even darker.
"It's the first time I've seen what a spiritual beast that finishes eight calamities looks like." Jane Shang immediately spoke and looked straight at Whale King Xirus.
"Damn, woman!" Whale King Xirus gritted his teeth vigorously as he still couldn't accept being defeated by a woman like Jane Shang, who had a much lower cultivation base than his previous self. And all of that was caused by two children messing with his brain.
"Aren't you trying to get it out of there? I tried, but it wasn't easy. This Qi Core is so tough that even at my full strength, I cannot scratch it." Liu Kang spoke, looking at Jane Shang.
"I don't know if I can do it because there has never been in recorded history that a human saw what the calamity process of spiritual beasts was like and how they grew after that at such a high rate." Jane Shang replied and prepared the technique because she didn't want rumors about history to happen. She had read some records about spiritual beasts having committed eight calamities. In an extremely short time, they reached the pinnacle of their strength.
If he couldn't even get Whale King Xirus out of the crystal ball, she didn't know what else to do and would probably just set a trap around the place to injure Whale King Xirus when he came out alone from the crystal ball.
After preparing his technique, she immediately jumped backward. Jane Shang glanced at Liu Kang and Fei Lan, "Stay away."
Liu Kang and Fei Lan immediately moved away because they knew that Jane Shang's attack must be very strong.
In Jane Shang's palm, a small reddish-black child immediately shot towards the exact direction Whale King Xirus was.
Staring at that, Whale King Xirus' face was only cold, and he didn't try to do anything.
BAMMM!
A huge explosion accompanied by a Qi-shaped shock wave spread in all directions.
When the blast wave subsided, and the dust cleared, it was seen that the crystal that Whale King Xirus was in remained as before.
Jane Shang naturally frowned as she stared at that. If an attack that strong didn't even make a scratch, even the strongest technique would probably scratch it.
"Those crystals are very hard. Is this what makes every time a spiritual beast that has gone through 8 calamities manage to grow to the peak of its original state of strength?" Jane Shang knows more and more that the current situation is not good for them.
Even Liu Kang and his wife were surprised that Jane Shang's attack did not affect the crystal-protecting Whale King Xirus.
"It's useless! Do you think that level of power can erode the Qi emanating from a spiritual beast of the ninth stage of the Sage Realm? What a joke!" Said the Whale King Xirus with ridicule.
"What should we do, husband?" Fei Lan asked, still towards Liu Kang.
Before Liu Kang could answer, a burst of Qi occurred within the crystal.
"He broke through?" Liu Kang asked in surprise. He noticed carefully that the bit of Qi within the crystal ball had disappeared, and it was true that Whale King Xirus had indeed used crystals to increase his strength. That was why the previous Whale King Xirus was furious if Liu Kang kept all the crystal shards that had been separated from the crystal ball.
"Hahaha! Wait for the three times to come, humans! I will hunt you down when the time comes!" Whale King Xirus said in a cold tone accompanied by a vicious laugh.
Jane Shang's face darkened slightly. If the Whale King Xirus reached the peak again and came at her, she was not sure about defeating him. Don't beat him; even block him, she won't be sure.
Meanwhile, Liu Kang immediately did what had to be done at this time.
"Heaven, is there a way to get the Whale King Xirus out of the crystal ball?" Liu Kang asked in his mind.
[The crystal is made of extremely strong water-type Qi. The Qi that condensed into a crystal could only be destroyed by the Qi of the Xirus Whale King's reverse. It could only be destroyed by being melted by an extremely strong fire Qi. In other words, those crystals are water condensed like ice]
Liu Kang's eyebrow rose to one side at the system's reply. He didn't expect the spiritual beast's crystal's weakness to be so simple.
Liu Kang's gaze was fixed on Fei Lan because she was a light Qi cultivator that originated from a strong fire.
"Lan'er… help me do something." Liu Kang requested.
"Hm? What does a husband need?" Fei Lan asked with sparkling eyes. It was rare for her husband to ask her for help.
"Use the Light Phoenix Sword, channel your Qi and form an extremely powerful flame because the true base of your Qi is high-grade fire. After that, Heat the crystal ball until it melts." Liu Kang requested.
"Will it work, husband?" Fei Lan asked a little doubtfully.
"Don't you trust your husband?" Liu Kang asked with slightly raised eyebrows.
The woman's heart was beating very fast when Liu Kang said, "your husband." She immediately nodded like a chick pecking on grain and took out the Light Phoenix Sword. Even if Jane Shang was in that place, since her husband had asked her, she certainly wouldn't refuse.
Jane Shang was silent when she heard the conversation between the two. She was also a little doubtful whether something like that would work. But, of course, there is no harm in trying.
Fei Lan jumped in front of the crystal and looked at Whale King Xirus, who only looked down on her.
"I don't know what my husband's plan is. However, I will try to do my best!" After Fei Lan said that, the Light Phoenix Sword in her hand hummed extremely loudly. She immediately did what her husband said and tried to change her Qi, not into Light Qi but something else.
[Fei Lan's wife has added a new attribute, the Holy Fire, with the highest level of heat]
"Ah?" Liu Kang was surprised that Fei Lan's development would also be a notification.
As the Light Phoenix Sword hummed loudly, white flames immediately enveloped him, causing Whale King Xirus to widen his eyes in surprise.
"Don't tell me this kid is planning to..." Whale King Xirus thought a little nervously. But he still kept himself calm this time. However, it was true that the fire-type Qi could melt his Qi core crystals. Still, it is not as simple as it seems.
Fei Lan continued to concentrate. She was also a little surprised because her Qi had now turned into a white flame that seemed to have no heat, but she did not know that her fire was one of the Peaks with the Highest Temperature of all types of fire Qi.
After that, Fei Lan immediately placed the Light Phoenix Sword on the surface of the crystal ball. Her white flames instantly engulfed the crystal ball, but she stopped when she heard her husband's voice.
"Lan'er... focus on one spot so the stupid whale can be pulled out!" Liu Kang's orders.
"Okay, husband!" Fei Lan replied obediently and immediately did as Liu Kang said.
Woshhh!
The visible flames didn't have a high temperature, enveloping a small portion of the crystal ball. Not only that, but the Light Phoenix Sword also helped raise the temperature of the flames because Qi Fei Lan was indeed Qi that could use the power of the Light Phoenix Sword.
Sssshhhh!
Steam slowly rose from the crystal ball, which made Whale King Xirus' face instantly look like a chicken's butt. He did not expect that Fei Lan's flames would be able to melt his Qi core.
"What's that fire? Why can't I detect the temperature at all?" Whale King Xirus was terrified. Because he was in the most critical state, he immediately controlled the Qi within the crystal as best he could to resist Fei Lan's flames.
"Oh? Can it melt it?" Jane Shang raised her eyebrows, looked at Liu Kang, and asked, "How did you know, brat?"
"Use your head. The Water Qi will always oppose the Fire Qi. They will destroy each other. Whale King Xirus has a high level of condensed Water Qi. It looks like water hardened like Ice. Of course, fire will be able to melt it." Liu Kang replied and glanced at Jane Shang as if it was a trivial thing, but as a high-level cultivator, Jane Shang couldn't make simple speculations.
Jane Shang's face twitched because she understood what Liu Kang meant. She wanted to strangle Liu Kang to death right now. She understood why Xiaoching Wei always said she wanted to kick Liu Kang every time they talked.
"If you weren't my favorite person, maybe from the first time we met, I would have strangled you until you died!" Because of Liu Kang's words, Jane Shang thought while trying to control her fluctuating emotions.
