Chapter 615: Chapter 261: Slaughtering the Elephant

If this stomp landed, Qin Fang would be severely injured, if not killed!

But just then, he suddenly felt a powerful force send him flying.

His eyes focused and he saw Senior Sister Ji, her jaw clenched as she pushed her True Gang to its absolute limit.

As her shoulder touched Qin Fang, the Nine-Layered Abyss Water Armor retaliated almost instantly. Dark ice crystals began to form on her shoulder...

Alarmed, Qin Fang immediately focused his mind, absorbing the Profound Nether True Gang that had invaded her body while suppressing the Abyss Water Armor’s retaliation.

Sweat beaded on Senior Sister Ji’s forehead. Her shoulder, where the ice had been, now throbbed with a piercing pain.

But she didn’t let go. Still shouldering Qin Fang, she frantically channeled her Leaf Skill.

Finally, just as the giant elephant’s foot came crashing down, she carried Qin Fang with her, escaping the stomp.

BOOM!!!!

It was as if mountains were collapsing and the earth splitting apart.

The elephant’s hoof struck the ground, which roared and shuddered. Cracks spread wildly as wood and stone were obliterated.

"ROOOAR!!!"

The giant elephant was enraged, furious that its attack—one that used its Lifebound Divine Technique—had been thwarted.

"Vile beast!"

A cry rang out from the air, and a moment later, a brilliant beam of Sword Gang shot toward the giant elephant.

The Sword Gang was perfectly condensed, striking the giant elephant’s head.

However, with a flex of its Demon Gang, the giant elephant shattered the Sword Gang.

Still, the powerful impact shattered a large chunk of the elephant’s Demon Gang and caused it to stagger.

It let out an even more furious roar.

"Hmph!"

A heavy grunt echoed as Senior Brother Zhuang appeared at the elephant’s side. His body suddenly swelled, turning the wide-sleeved Infinite Star Armor into a skintight suit that outlined his formidable musculature. With his True Gang surging, he crashed into one of the giant elephant’s legs.

BOOM!!

After the impact, most of Senior Brother Zhuang’s True Gang shattered. He staggered backward, and his bulging muscles receded.

But the giant elephant, already unsteady on its feet, stumbled twice more.

Senior Brother Mo appeared as well, his eyes burning with boundless killing intent. "Kill!"

His Battle Saber left its sheath, unleashing a blood-red Saber Gang that slashed downward.

Its power was no less than the previous Sword Gang’s, and it hacked away another piece of the Demon Gang.

But the giant elephant had already steadied itself and let out a furious roar.

Qin Fang finally snapped back to his senses. The crushing weight was gone.

He turned to look at Senior Sister Ji. Cold sweat dripped down her forehead, and her face was twisted in pain. He knew she must have used some extremely draining Leaf Skill, on top of being frostbitten by his own Profound Nether Nature.

"Senior Sister!"

He said, his voice tight with worry.

Senior Sister Ji’s face was pale. "It’s nothing, I’m fine," she said. "You absorbed all of your Profound Nether True Gang, so there’s none left in me... These True Blood Great Demons all have Lifebound Divine Techniques, but they’re incredibly draining. See? Its body’s Demon Gang is already greatly diminished... It’s up to you now."

Qin Fang understood at once. ’So that feeling of being crushed under a mountain... that was the elephant’s Lifebound Divine Technique.’

"Alright, leave it to me!"

After a moment’s hesitation, Qin Fang flew into the air, his Profound Nether True Gang surging around him once more.

Senior Sister Ji gritted her teeth, her body flickered, and she flew far away.

The truth was, she hadn’t fully mastered the Leaf Skill she had just used. She had barely managed to activate it, and forcing it when her Physique wasn’t strong enough had already left her severely injured.

Adding to that, the automatic retaliation from Junior Brother Qin’s Body Protection had left her shoulder completely numb. She was likely severely injured.

’This Eternal Freeze Nature is terrifying,’ she thought with a shudder. ’Even though he recalled it instantly, it still caused this much damage?’

Seeing Qin Fang take to the air again, the others knew he was out of danger. No longer needing to hold their ground, they all fell back.

When Qin Fang looked back at the giant elephant, he could see that its aura had indeed weakened considerably.

The recent barrage of attacks, while not breaking through its defenses, had shattered a good portion of its Body Protection Demon Gang.

This allowed the Profound Nether True Gang embedded within the Demon Gang to spread even further.

Qin Fang charged forward again, unleashing a furious assault.

The giant elephant had spent its momentum and had yet to recover when Qin Fang struck again. His attacks weren’t necessarily more powerful than those of his senior brothers.

But the key was his terrifying Profound Nether Nature!

In the blink of an eye, more and more dark, corrosive marks appeared on the giant elephant’s Demon Gang, and the surrounding Ice Crystals grew thicker.

The giant elephant finally started to panic.

It struggled to activate its Lifebound Divine Technique again, but failed. The technique was powerful, but the cost was truly immense.

The fact that Qin Fang had been rendered almost completely helpless for that one moment was a testament to the technique’s terrifying power.

But unfortunately for the elephant, that was its only move.

Now that Qin Fang had recovered, the elephant’s luck had run out.

It struggled for a short while before realizing the situation was hopeless.

It suddenly shot into the air, its huge hooves galloping madly through the sky. Its speed was surprisingly fast.

A faint aura appeared as its Qi Blood began to burn frantically.

’The Blood Burning Secret Skill?’

Qin Fang narrowed his eyes.

This was the third time he had seen such a technique.

The first was from Xile, the second was from the True Blood Rabbit Demon, and the third was now...

But Xile and the Rabbit Demon were both known for their speed, so the boost was significant.

As for this giant elephant... while its speed increased, it was still no match for Qin Fang.

Qin Fang caught up in an instant and began to relentlessly fire blasts of True Gang from a distance.

Beams of True Gang slammed into the Demon Gang, shattering on impact. In fact, the quality of Qin Fang’s True Gang was far inferior to the elephant’s Demon Gang; it took three or four of his blasts to chip away even a small piece.

But with every piece that shattered, the chill of the Eternal Freeze seeped into the Demon Gang.

This caused the giant elephant to slow down, and the flow of its Demon Gang became more and more sluggish.

After no more than thirty breaths,

the blood-red glow completely faded.

Its Demon Gang weakened to a critical point.

Finally, with a CRACK, it shattered completely.

The next second, a massive amount of Ice Crystals began to grow wildly across the giant elephant’s body!

The giant elephant let out a mournful trumpet, no longer able to stay airborne, and plummeted from the sky.

With a loud BOOM, it slammed into the ground, creating a huge crater and sending rubble flying everywhere.

Looking down, he saw the profound ice crystals on its body growing ever thicker, completely out of control.

Qin Fang looked down from his vantage point in the sky.

’There’s no need for me to attack anymore.’

The true terror of the Eternal Freeze Nature was on full display.

Even a True Blood Great Demon, once its skin was fully exposed to the Profound Nether True Gang, was doomed to be frozen solid!

In the blink of an eye, the giant elephant had turned into a massive ice sculpture, over thirty meters tall...

Not a single trace of its aura remained.

Qin Fang slowly exhaled, his gaze falling upon the top of its head...

He then noticed that the stalk of Silver Grass on its head hadn’t been frozen. It swayed gently within a space that seemed to ripple and distort...

’Can I take it now?’

With a thought, he flew toward it.

(I can’t write anymore. I barely managed to get this much out, and now I’m completely drained... I’m exhausted, going to sleep. See you all tomorrow.)
