Even Han Jiūqiān’s eyes showed disbelief.
He had originally thought that the Elephant’s potential was capped, and even with the cultivation techniques Chen Xiāo provided, he would at most be immortal.
He never expected the Elephant to suddenly become so powerful. He secretly compared himself to the Elephant.
It wouldn’t be easy for the Elephant to kill him, but it was impossible for him to kill the Elephant.
He wore a wry smile and unconsciously looked at Chen Xiāo: “Chen Xiāo, Chen Xiāo, how many more surprises will you give me!”
“Roar!!!”
The Elephant let out another earth-shattering roar. At this moment, he was incredibly excited, like a wild beast!
As his excitement surged, he unconsciously clenched his fists and pounded his chest, making a thudding sound!
Seeing this, everyone’s faces showed horror.
It seemed that unless absolutely necessary, this beast should not be provoked.
Whether one could defeat it was another matter, but provoking this thing could easily lead to nightmares.
The Elephant pointed at the Dragon King and said with great spirit: “Dragon King, tell your people to get down, or I’ll go up!”
The Dragon King couldn’t help but twitch. He looked left and right and said calmly: “Who among you will go teach him a lesson?”
The fierce-looking monk stepped forward: “Hall Master, let this humble monk go and face him. Within ten breaths, I will twist off his head!”
After speaking, the evil monk flipped over and jumped off the main stage.
“Amitabha, let this humble monk meet you, you beast!”
The Elephant snorted angrily: “Who do you think you are? Report your name quickly!”
The evil monk sneered disdainfully and said proudly: “This humble monk is Yuánchēn, and I will take your life today!”
As soon as the evil monk announced his dharma name, gasps erupted from all around.
It turned out that this evil monk was Yuánchēn, known as the Vajra of Mixed Origins!
It seemed that the Elephant was doomed this time!
One had to know that Yuánchēn was once the foremost of Shaolin Temple’s Four Vajras, and twenty years ago, he was already ranked in the top fifty of the Heavenly Ranking.
However, due to his arrogant and unrestrained personality and repeated violations of monastic discipline, he was eventually expelled from Shaolin Temple.
In a fit of rage, Yuánchēn immediately beheaded the abbot of Shaolin Temple, burned down the Bodhidharma Pavilion, and burned alive the eighteen Arhats, who represented the peak combat power of Shaolin Temple.
Since then, Yuánchēn had disappeared and vanished from the martial world.
Rumor had it that he had been killed by Dong Xiá Yang Potian, one of the Four Absolute Masters of the Heavenly Ranking.
Who would have thought that he had been hiding in the Underworld Hall and was still alive!
The Elephant had naturally heard of Yuánchēn’s notorious reputation. If it were in the past, he would have avoided his sharp edge.
But after cultivating the Blazing Body Forging Art, he no longer knew what fear was!
It wasn’t that he was being reckless; the most basic requirement of cultivating the Blazing Body Forging Art was to embrace a resolve to die.
After all, if a person no longer feared death, what else could they fear?
“Hmph, I don’t care if you’re Yuánchēn or Yuán Dog. Today, you’re helping the Dragon King to do evil, and I will take your dog’s life!”
The Elephant shouted in a deep voice.
Yuánchēn sneered: “Boasting is useless. Twenty years ago, you wouldn’t have even qualified to die by my hand. Remember, it is your honor to die by my hand today!”
“Roar!!!”
The Elephant roared towards the sky, and everyone’s hearts trembled.
And this roar was particularly prolonged, lasting for a full half-minute.
However, what happened next was a scene that made people want to laugh and cry.
As the Elephant’s roar abruptly stopped, his entire body fell backward, facing the sky.
With a loud bang, the entire painted boat swayed for a long time.
Everyone was stunned. What was going on? Had he roared himself to death?
Han Jiūqiān looked at Chen Xiāo in confusion: “Little Brother Chen, what happened to the Elephant?”
Chen Xiāo also felt like laughing and crying, and explained with an awkward expression: “He just learned the Blazing Body Forging Art. Perhaps he burned for too long this time, and his body couldn’t take it. His brain protectively made him go into shock.”
Han Jiūqiān: “……”
The brain could protectively make the Elephant go into shock, but that evil monk Yuánchēn would not.
He had done countless evil deeds, and his specialty was ‘striking while the iron is hot’!
Seeing the Elephant fall backward, he was overjoyed!
“Heaven is truly helping me. You’re still not dead?”
A murderous glint flashed in Yuánchēn’s eyes. However, just as he was about to make a move, he suddenly saw a black shadow flash before his eyes.
After the black shadow flashed past, the Elephant’s massive body had already disappeared!
It turned out that Han Jiūqiān had moved the Elephant’s body aside.
“Damn it, this big clumsy elephant is really heavy. My old back is about to break!”
Han Jiūqiān supported his waist and complained with disdain.
Then, he slowly walked towards Yuánchēn and said lightly: “Hey, old monk, my brother is asleep, so let me face you!”
Yuánchēn sneered: “Alright, since you’re all going to die sooner or later, it makes no difference whether you die a moment earlier or later. This humble monk will twist off your head first, and then go take that beast’s dog life!”
“Heh heh, boasting is useless, you stinking monk. Others may fear you, but I don’t!”
Han Jiūqiān retorted sharply.
However, at this moment, the Dragon King suddenly spoke: “Master Yuánchēn, please come back!”
Yuánchēn was confused and looked at the Dragon King with bewilderment: “Hall Master, why are you asking me to go back? Do you think I can’t kill this waste?”
The Dragon King smiled and shook his head: “Master Yuánchēn, you misunderstand. It’s just that compared to you, there is someone more suitable to fight this person!”
Yuánchēn didn’t understand, but he didn’t dare to disobey the Hall Master, so he reluctantly jumped back onto the main stage.
The Dragon King then looked at the Flying Heaven Divine Bat: “Flying Heaven Divine Bat, you go.”
Although the Flying Heaven Divine Bat didn’t know why the Dragon King wanted him to go, the Hall Master’s command was to be obeyed.
With a great roc’s wing-spread, he landed in front of Han Jiūqiān: “Kid, come on, tell me how you want to die?”
However, Han Jiūqiān completely ignored him. He looked at the Dragon King and sneered.
“Heh heh, no wonder my Brother Chen said you are best at gathering intelligence. It seems you already know?”
The Dragon King smiled slightly: “How about it, aren’t I very understanding? You’ve been waiting for this day for a long time, haven’t you?”
Han Jiūqiān cupped his hands towards the Dragon King: “Although I dislike you very much, I cannot help but admire you. Underworld Hall Hall Master, you are truly worthy of the title!”
The Flying Heaven Divine Bat was bewildered: “Hall Master, what are you talking about? What is going on?”
The Dragon King chuckled and said: “Divine Bat, take a good look. This is an old friend of yours!”
The Flying Heaven Divine Bat scrutinized Han Jiūqiān for a long time but still couldn’t recall who this person was.
He had never even met this person before, so how could he be an old friend?
At this moment, Han Jiūqiān suddenly shouted sternly and said coldly: “Halt! Duan Jingyán, you old dog, do you still remember the days at Feiyun Villa?”
Upon hearing this, the Flying Heaven Divine Bat’s expression changed drastically. His pupils contracted sharply, and he questioned Han Jiūqiān: “Who exactly are you?”
