Immortality from Taming Elephant-Chapter 307 - 165: Fierce Battle Against the Mountain Demon (Part 2)

Chapter 307: Chapter 165: Fierce Battle Against the Mountain Demon (Part 2)

The Mountain Demon’s spine burst forth with ten thousand white bone thorns piercing the sky, its ghostly green pupils shooting out two corrosive Yin Thunders, turning the land and rocks within a hundred yards into pus.

Ah Wei seemed unfazed, stepping on the sordid ground tainted with Yin Sha Qi, launching a thunderous attack on the Mountain Demon.

Boom!

The ivory pierced the Mountain Demon’s abdomen, in an instant, the Mountain Demon roared in anger, the blue magical blood flowing from its body staining the surrounding mountains for thousands of meters, its claws reaching out, intending to grab General Wei’s eyes.

Heaven and earth poured out all its brilliance, as if throughout eternity, only a dazzling white light remained.

It was...

The final lethal move of the Twenty-four Solar Terms Sword, the change of the Heavenly Phenomenon!

In a flash, the Mountain Demon’s legs touched the ground, transforming into blood and stone on the surface, still twisting and struggling.

Xu Guang charged in with his sword, becoming one with it, thrusting into the Mountain Demon’s body.

The Mountain Demon twisted and struggled, paying no attention to Xu Guang, only wanting to quickly distance itself from General Wei, its ivory wrapped in golden light, the Divine Shadow seemingly fully integrated within, as if trying to split the Mountain Demon’s body apart as it exerted force.

The two forces contended, the surrounding mountains appearing to face a doomsday cataclysm.

Crashing and collapsing, endless Fierce Ghosts were alarmed, but before they could react, they were instantly consumed by the treasure light emanating from Ah Wei.

Suddenly.

The Mountain Demon ceased moving.

Upon its body, dots of starlight emerged, resembling fireflies in the night, gradually dispersing outward.

More and more starlight appeared, until at a certain moment, a colossal beam of light shot straight down from the sky.

The light beam seemed to pierce through heaven and earth.

With a roar, the Mountain Demon split open.

It appeared to disintegrate from within, gradually turning into pieces of purple stone falling down.

Ah Wei withdrew the ivory, slowly stepping back half a step, breathing heavily, his figure on him had already dimmed considerably.

Rumble!

The fragments from the Mountain Demon fell to the ground faster and faster.

A figure enveloped in a rotating flow of five-colored light slowly emerged from the mist.

In its hand, it seemed to hold a star, constantly rotating.

In the distance.

Hanshang saw the collapse of the Mountain Demon, and joy instantly appeared on her face.

And behind her, the members of the Human Race went mad at that moment.

"Divine Power of the True Monarch!"

"The True Monarch’s great compassion and mercy!"

They knelt like fervent believers, continuously prostrating towards where Xu Guang and General Wei were.

Xu Guang caught his breath for a moment, feeling his own divine thought.

Both he and Ah Wei were greatly exhausted.

Ah Wei carried him, slowly returning to the altar.

It seemed that this time, the offerings from Hanshang were ample, or perhaps Ah Wei’s Divine Shadow had grown much stronger lately.

In any case, this time, Xu Guang felt he could communicate with Hanshang.

He looked towards her, reaching out his hand.

Hanshang understood, her eyes filled with fervor and excitement.

"Greetings, True Monarch!"

Xu Guang smiled, expending the last trace of his divine thought power, suddenly reaching out to touch Hanshang’s forehead.

"This is... the True Monarch Technique."

Hanshang closed her eyes, remaining motionless.

Xu Guang laughed heartily, a boundless sense of delight arising in his heart.

"Slaying demons and evil today, not failing the believers, merit achieved, perfect!"

As the words fell, the countless offerings on the altar, along with the remains left by the dead Mountain Demon, and the Ghost Hearts of the myriad Fierce Ghosts struck down by Ah Wei.

All were seized by a mysterious and bizarre force, disappearing into the Dark World along with the figures of Xu Guang and General Wei.

The believers prostrated.

"Great compassion and benevolence of the True Monarch the Great Saint!"

"Farewell to the Nine Heavens Divine Elephant Evil-slaying True Monarch!"

"Farewell True Monarch!"

Even a few toddlers just beginning to speak bowed respectfully towards the direction where Xu Guang and Ah Wei vanished.

Several middle-aged people exchanged glances, looking at Hanshang, who stood on the high platform, with her eyes remaining closed.

If they weren’t mistaken, it seemed the True Monarch passed on to Hanshang... the True Monarch Technique?

Could it be...

They truly recognized Hanshang as the Saintess?

Previously, they thought Hanshang being the Saintess was just a coincidence, but now, with the True Monarch’s personal acknowledgment, some of their little thoughts...

The True Monarch’s favor, who wouldn’t envy, if only they could replace Hanshang...

But with the True Monarch passing on the technique.

It seemed completely hopeless.

Internal conflict has always been the forte of highly intelligent beings.

Even in this ruinous, ever-perilous Dark World, there are always those with ambition.

...

In an unnamed part of the Dark World.

Someone suddenly looked up at the place where the starry light column stood.

"Are there others from the same path in this realm?"

"Impossible, the spiritual energy in this realm is poisonous, unable to open the Spirit Palace."

"Then is it a demon or a passage?"

As the gaze gradually rose, it revealed a young man riding a white ox. His clothes resembled a Taoist robe but were broader, giving him a carefree aura.

...

Chiyao County.

Xu Guang opened his eyes and looked at the weary face of Ah Wei.

In the battle against the Mountain Demon, even though he delivered the final blow, the true main force was Ah Wei, purely relying on its Divine Shadow and various demonic powers to hold off that Mountain Demon.

"You’ve worked hard."

Ah Wei shook his head, looking at the pile of spoils from the Dark World.

Especially the items left behind by the Mountain Demon.

Upon the Mountain Demon’s death, it left behind six items: one Fierce Evil Demon Pill, three Core Purple Crystals (about half a person’s height, seventy to eighty centimeters thick), a somewhat strange piece of tissue that resembled the Mountain Demon’s brain, and a fragment...

A bronze fragment that seemed familiar to Xu Guang!

...

Outside Chiyao County, Viduo was quietly observing, with various barbarians, their bodies adorned with strange patterns, holding different weapons, hiding in the mountains and forests.

"Little Barbarian King, are you really going to make a move here?"

Feng Buping frowned, looking at Viduo with a somewhat unpleasant expression.

Chifeng Prefecture is extremely vigilant against the barbarians now, with Chifeng Prefecture experts stationed in every county.

Fifth-Grade Experts are never so easy to kill; if there’s the slightest mistake and the Chifeng Prefecture experts arrive, no matter how bizarre Viduo’s methods are, it won’t be easy to escape unharmed.

Viduo seemed not to hear Feng Buping’s words, gently sniffing a blue and white piece of cloth at his nose.

"Ji Yanran from Guanghan Hall is in this small county ahead. Tell me, if I capture Ji Yanran, will it not cause a commotion across all of Yongzhou?"

Feng Buping’s face turned grim. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Madman.

Truly a madman!

Barbarians really have no brains; Ji Yanran, as the top Inner Sect disciple of Guanghan Hall, is not so easy to deal with, right?

Unable to persuade, Feng Buping snorted coldly, turned, and left.

Watching his back, a barbarian beside Viduo had a menacing expression, "Viduo, this Central Plains man is untrustworthy, shall we..."

Viduo’s fierce gaze lingered on Feng Buping for a long time but ultimately did not decide to kill him.

"Forget it."

...

West of Chiyao County.

About two or three miles from Xu Guang’s Martial Arts Academy.

In a decrepit large courtyard, the side house had some burn marks, with a decaying atmosphere permeating the yard. However, it seemed that because new residents moved in, some signs of decay had been cleaned away.

Song Ruyun was busy in the courtyard.

The Cao Family of Chiyao County had arranged accommodations for them, but the senior sister always sought guidance from Red Flame Ancestor, so they moved into this large residence.

But it’s still fine; at least the houses are much better than Beyond the Border.

Just as she was about to finish her work, a gray sparrow suddenly flew in from afar.

The sparrow landed in her hand, with a roll of paper tied to its leg.

Unrolling the paper with her fingers, Song Ruyun looked closely and immediately frowned.

She saw two crooked words written on it.

"Escape quickly!"

Cui Fan, one of the rarer male disciples in Guanghan Hall, saw Song Ruyun’s expression and asked.

"What happened?"

Song Ruyun clenched the paper, her expression unpleasant, "I don’t know who sent the message..."

Cui Fan took the paper, also frowning.

This situation doesn’t seem like a prank.

"Let’s go, find the senior sister!"

...

Xu Guang calmly watched the brain-like tissue of the Mountain Demon gradually shrink, finally turning into a black stone seemingly filled with countless pores.

Each pore faintly emitted a sound as if breathing?

What is this thing?

Could it be considered the core of the Mountain Demon, or should I... taste it?

Xu Guang pondered, but ultimately lacked the courage to take a bite.

This thing truly looked frightening; according to this world’s Martial Artist ranking, the Mountain Demon’s strength should have already reached the Fourth Grade level, though it hadn’t developed any Divine Techniques.

’Forget it, let’s observe for now.’
