The Immortal Maiden was taken aback for a moment, instinctively slapping downwards. This was a reflexive reaction left over from the ancient times of battle, a fighting style that had long become second nature.
Just as Lv Chang was getting up, his head felt as if it had been struck by a massive rock, and he fell to the ground with a thud.
"You guys are bad guys, Arhat Fruit Fist." The Immortal Maiden heard them planning to rob her storage ring, which brought back unpleasant memories, and she slapped one of them.
Her tender, pink hand concealed immense power. Coupled with her unique technique, the four early-stage Golden Elixir beasts couldn't even block a single slap. They fell to the ground again, spitting out black blood.
Beasts have more vigorous vitality than humans. Now that they had been slapped by the Immortal Maiden, their boiling vitality quickly cooled down. Even their blood flow slowed down, and in the end, it stopped completely, turning their hot blood into dead silence.
Arhat Fruit Fist, it clears heat and moisturizes the lungs.
Coupled with the deadly poison of the pufferfish, the four beasts met their end.
In less than half an hour, five Golden Elixir beasts had died here.
"The Kylin Immortal doesn't dare to bully me, and you four little monsters want to bully me?" The Immortal Maiden snorted coldly, hands on her hips, feeling very proud as she spoke.
"People like you existed in the ancient times, always bullying me, so annoying. Nothing has changed even after three hundred thousand years."
The Immortal Maiden muttered to herself as she left, quickly forgetting about the incident. She hummed a cheerful tune, leaving behind four corpses.
In the ancient times, some people saw her as a woman, beautiful and easy to deceive. They wanted to trick her, but the end result was always the same. The clever her saw through the truth and killed them all.
"Picking, picking mushrooms, found a little mushroom…"
…
"Humans are so fragile, they can be poisoned. If everyone could learn my health-preserving fist technique and turn their bodies into great medicine, wouldn't all poisons be useless?"
"Lu Yang is the same, I kindly taught him, but why won't he learn? Even if the Heavenly Immortals begged me on their knees, I wouldn't teach them." The Immortal Maiden strolled leisurely, breaking off a tree branch and casually refining it into a magic weapon, swinging it around in the dense forest as if she was holding an unparalleled sword.
She radiated a strange power, and no insects dared to approach her.
This dense forest gave her a familiar feeling. Before she became an immortal, she often roamed through the forest, looking for medicinal herbs to enhance her realm, or facing sneak attacks from various geniuses.
She was very famous at that time, not only for her beauty, but more for her terrifying combat power and unpredictable thoughts.
No one could figure out what she was thinking or what she would do.
But one thing was certain, she was the nightmare of everyone on the path to becoming an immortal. If you wanted to become an immortal, she was the biggest obstacle.
Back then, the Heavenly Immortals and the Kylin Immortal hadn't made a name for themselves yet. The world knew nothing about them. Their greatest wish was to defeat the powerful Immortal Maiden, become famous in one battle, and attract the attention of the world.
However, they never achieved this wish.
Therefore, the Immortal Maiden was quite adept at facing various dangers and challenges. It was impossible to ambush her in the dense forest.
Roar—
An angry roar came from not far away, piquing the interest of the Immortal Maiden.
Before she could get there, she noticed that the ground was shaking. The source of the tremor was getting closer, like a huge creature running.
Boom—Boom—
The Immortal Maiden jumped onto a huge rock, stood on her tiptoes, and placed her right hand on her forehead to look into the distance: "That is…"
Trees fell, smoke and dust filled the air, and a huge body taller than the trees in the dense forest revealed its rough back.
It was a rampaging elephant chasing a few people. The elephant was snow-white, like jade, with six long tusks.
Those people were very skilled, all in the middle or late stages of the Golden Elixir, but they didn't even think about resisting the rampaging elephant. They just kept running forward.
The Immortal Maiden jumped off the huge rock.
When those people saw the Immortal Maiden appear, they were shocked and shouted at her: "This is the Elephant King in the early stage of the Elemental Infant, a pure ancient bloodline, the Six-Tusked White Elephant. We don't know why, but it has gone mad. Little girl, you better run!"
The Six-Tusked White Elephant, although not as prestigious as the Dragon Phoenix, the Taowu, and the Poverty-stricken in the ancient times, was also a famous beast clan just below them. The clan had produced at least three Tribulation Crossing experts.
The people being chased by the Six-Tusked White Elephant could tell at a glance that the Immortal Maiden was only in the late stage of Foundation Establishment. Facing the rampaging Elephant King, even those in the early stage of the Elemental Infant didn't dare to confront it directly. If this little girl didn't leave, her fate was predictable.
They didn't want to see this little girl die tragically.
The little girl seemed to be scared silly, standing still in the same spot, not moving at all.
One of them exerted a great deal of force, trying to grab the Immortal Maiden and run together, but the Immortal Maiden seemed to have merged with the earth.
The man was very surprised. As a late-stage Golden Elixir cultivator, he couldn't move this little girl.
What's going on with this little girl?
The others also tried to move the Immortal Maiden, but all failed. The Six-Tusked White Elephant was close behind, they didn't dare to delay and had to keep running.
"Elephant, you're being naughty. Your clan leader swore to me that you wouldn't harm humans." The Immortal Maiden revealed a secret that even the Six-Tusked White Elephant clan didn't know.
Unfortunately, this white elephant was already in a rage and couldn't hear anything.
The Immortal Maiden sighed. If she didn't stop this elephant, those people would definitely be done for.
It's a pity for this body.
She then took a deep breath, assumed a stance, and clenched her right fist at her waist.
"Immortal Maiden Fist Technique."
She slowly threw a punch.
…
"Master Song Hua, and the other young masters, are you all right?""We noticed some commotion over here just now. You didn't accidentally wander into the territory of the Six-Tusked White Elephant, did you? That's a place you absolutely must not enter!"
The bodyguards rushed over, panting heavily. These young masters were from the imperial capital's Song family, who came to the Demon Suppression Pass to gain experience, which would be beneficial for their future promotions.
For safety reasons, the Song family had hired several bodyguards for them.
At first, they were obedient, but as time went on, they found the bodyguards increasingly annoying. They felt restricted, unable to do this or that.
If they couldn't do anything, then what was the point of coming to the Demon Suppression Pass? Was it just for sightseeing?
So, they took advantage of the bodyguards' inattention and sneaked away. They hadn't gone far when they trespassed into the territory of the Six-Tusked White Elephant and inexplicably provoked it.
Seeing the Song family's young masters sitting on the ground, dumbfounded, the bodyguards followed their gaze and were equally stunned.
There was a terrifying trench, as if a monstrous creature had slithered through, knocking down countless giant trees.
At the end of the trench, a white elephant the size of a small hill lay unconscious.
"What happened?"
The young masters of the Song family couldn't answer, or rather, they didn't know how to describe the scene they had just witnessed.
A petite girl, about sixteen or seventeen years old, at the late stage of Foundation Establishment, faced the rampaging Elemental Infant stage elephant. With just one punch, she knocked the elephant down.
That punch seemed to have drained all her strength. She collapsed softly to the ground, her body merging with the earth and disappearing from sight.
……
"You're saying there's an Elemental Infant stage Six-Tusked White Elephant nearby?" After a day of continuous fighting, Lu Yang was panting heavily, sitting on the ground to rest, listening to the Five Heroes of Eagle Mountain describe the extremely dangerous beasts in the vicinity.
"That elephant is said to be at the early stage of Elemental Infant. It has a strong territorial instinct. Anyone who trespasses into its territory will be trampled on relentlessly."
"Moreover, it has a violent temper. It attacks any beast at the early stage of Elemental Infant that dares to enter its territory without permission. Once, it fought with another Elemental Infant stage beast because of this, and the result was a pyrrhic victory for the elephant, with the other beast dying miserably."
"Hiss—" Meng Jingzhou gasped in shock. Was it really that fierce?
"Isn't it? I know the two young heroes have amazing combat power, defeating several Golden Elixir stage beasts in succession with ease. Even so, I believe you would not fare well against that Six-Tusked White Elephant."
"So, we absolutely must not approach the territory of the Six-Tusked White Elephant." The Five Heroes of Eagle Mountain advised.
"I understand." Lu Yang nodded. He was always one to heed advice.
"Lu Yang, I'm back." The soul of the Immortal Maiden drifted into the spiritual space, unnoticed by anyone.
"You're back so soon? It hasn't even been three days." Lu Yang was surprised. Based on his understanding of the Immortal Maiden, he thought she would at least play for three days.
"Um—your wooden avatar isn't sturdy. I broke it while playing." The Immortal Maiden said with a pitiful look.
"What did you do?"
The Immortal Maiden stuck out her tongue, feeling embarrassed about breaking the wooden avatar: "I won't tell you."
If she were to fight using Lu Yang's main body, the Immortal Maiden was confident that she could knock down the elephant with one punch without harming Lu Yang's body.
