The appearance of Dou Dou shocked everyone.
This was a Qilin from ancient times.
How could a Qilin appear? This was terrible. Judging by the situation, it seemed to be here to help Long Aotian.
Weren't Qilin already extinct? How could a Qilin still appear?
This Qilin was not yet an adult, and it might be difficult to deal with the combined efforts of the five of them.
Everyone looked at Dou Dou on the stage and discussed it. If it were an adult Qilin, the horns on its head would have fully grown. Now, Dou Dou's horns had only grown halfway.
Those with keen insight quickly realized that Dou Dou was not yet an adult.
Earlier, Dongfang Wenkang had been careless and was directly struck down by Dou Dou.
Who would have thought that a dog would fly towards you and suddenly turn into a Qilin?
Dongfang Wenkang would never have figured this out, even if he were beaten to death.
"Grandpa..." Dongfang Lingyu shouted and ran over.
Dongfang Wenkang, who had been arrogant and invincible just moments ago, now lay in the pit like a dead dog, having fainted. Dongfang Lingyu called out to him in vain.
Tong Jiade and the other four looked at Dou Dou with solemn expressions. The few exchanged glances.
They would not be able to resolve this without using their full strength today.
"This Qilin is not an adult and lacks combat power. The five of us will join forces to take it down," Tong Jiade observed the situation and shouted to the remaining four.
Dongfang Wenkang was now a dead dog and could not be relied upon.
"President, we understand," the four replied in unison.
Tong Jiade then nodded, leaped onto the high platform, stood there, and shouted, "If any of you powerful cultivators can lend us a hand, we will reward you handsomely once this Qilin is subdued. I, Tong Jiade, swear by the Heavenly Dao."
To ensure safety, Tong Jiade needed assistance. Although it was an immature Qilin, its combat power was not to be underestimated.
As soon as Tong Jiade spoke, three people instantly jumped onto the platform, two men and one woman, saying to Tong Jiade, "We will help you."
"Good, I won't say much about thanks. You will be richly rewarded after we subdue it," Tong Jiade nodded with satisfaction.
Now, with three more powerful cultivators joining, they totaled eight people.
This greatly boosted their confidence in dealing with an immature Qilin.
Xia Lin watched from below, extremely anxious. She grabbed Xia Feng and asked, "Will Dou Dou be okay? Can it win?"
Xia Feng shook his head and said, "Five people could barely fight to a draw. Now that there are three more, it can't win."
"Then why did you let Dou Dou go?" Xia Lin chided Xia Feng.
"It lacks combat experience and only practiced with me. Today is an excellent opportunity for it to gain experience. Let it try its hand," Xia Feng said with a smile, then looked at Xia Lin to comfort her, "Don't worry, I'm here."
Xia Lin, being a girl, was naturally prone to anxiety when faced with trouble.
After all, seeing Dou Dou about to face eight people made her worried, which was a normal emotional response.
Ultimately, Xia Lin was still an ordinary mortal.
Upon receiving Xia Feng's reassurance, Xia Lin's heart eased.
Since Xia Feng said it was for training, it was equivalent to using these people as sparring partners.
At this moment, the battle had begun on the stage. The eight people surrounded Dou Dou in the center.
At Tong Jiade's command, they all attacked simultaneously.
This battle was different from fighting Long Aotian. Long Aotian fought two opponents alone and didn't need to exert his full strength.
Now, it was different. He could feel a dangerous aura emanating from Dou Dou.
The eight people attacked in unison, their combined power immense. Dou Dou twisted its body, jumping here and there, looking for an opportunity to strike at one of them.
The eight people's coordination was quite good, and they narrowly avoided danger each time.
"This Qilin lacks combat experience. Let's all work together and finish this quickly," Tong Jiade realized that Dou Dou wasn't very skilled at fighting.
Apart from wildly swatting with its claws, it had no other moves.
If there were fewer people, they would have truly been hit.
Fortunately, they had more people, which helped them stabilize the situation.
Actual combat is very important for a cultivator. Without combat experience, it's just flashy performance.
The eight people surrounded Dou Dou, giving it no chance to escape. A Qilin's entire body was a treasure. If they could capture it for their own use, it would be even better.
This was like a fortuitous encounter delivered to their doorstep. Greedy glints appeared in everyone's eyes as they saw hope.
"Overwhelming Force."
"Great Vajra Palm."
"Corrupting Bone Leg."
"Shy Iron Fist..."
"Shy Iron Fist? Seriously?" Li Jianxin, the only female cultivator among the eight, shouted, nearly making the other seven break formation.
The eight people unleashed their ultimate moves again. This time, the attack formed a dead angle, and Dou Dou had no way to evade.
Facing the attacks coming from all eight directions, Dou Dou endured them all with its physical body and then lunged at Li Daowen, who was closest, and struck down with its claw.
Li Daowen cried out in pain, spitting blood three meters away, and was sent flying backward, crashing heavily onto the ground. Dust kicked up at the moment of impact, and he could not get up again after falling.
Dou Dou then licked its fur. This injury made it very angry, and it initiated an attack.
Despite being injured moments ago, Dou Dou was full of spirit, charging at the nearest person.
This time, the target was the female cultivator who had joined later, the unlucky Li Jianxin.
Dou Dou directly rammed her to the ground, pinned her body with its claws, and bit down.
The person's neck was torn apart by the bite, and they died on the spot.
However, this gave the remaining six people an opportunity to attack. The six joined forces and heavily struck Dou Dou's abdomen. The immense force sent Dou Dou flying a considerable distance.
This combined strike inflicted severe injuries on Dou Dou. Dou Dou managed to get up a few times but weakly collapsed back onto the ground.
"Brother..."
Xia Lin, anxious, grabbed Xia Feng's sleeve.
Xia Feng patted her and said, "I'll go now."
The people on the stage, seeing that the Qilin was finally severely injured and unable to get up, breathed a sigh of relief.
Under the siege of eight people, to have one dead and one injured was indeed shocking.
If those three reinforcements hadn't arrived at the end, the outcome would have been uncertain.
Tong Jiade felt a lingering fear as he thought about it.
"Is this Qilin finished?"
"It was clearly heavily injured this time, and it's unlikely to get up."
"Speaking of which, this Qilin is truly fierce. It can instantly kill a powerful cultivator by surprise. Now, facing the siege of eight powerhouses, it still caused one death and one injury. Its combat power is extremely strong."
"Didn't President Tong just say that this Qilin lacks combat experience? If it had combat experience, they might not have had such an easy time."
Everyone exclaimed in awe after seeing Dou Dou fall.
"President Tong, everyone's efforts were not in vain. We finally took down this beast," one person walked up to Tong Jiade and said.
"Yes, it's been a long time since I've experienced such a thrilling battle," Tong Jiade replied.
Tong Jiade then looked at Dou Dou, lying on the ground, with eyes full of greed. He jumped off the stage and walked towards the Qilin.
Halfway there, a young man walked up to the Qilin.
