Chapter 145: Chapter 145 Unprecedented Formidable Enemy

“Lu, thanks to your aid, I was spared from disaster.”

Murong Shi expressed her gratitude to Lu Changsheng on the way.

If it were not for Lu Changsheng blocking the Black Scorpion Divine Needle, she would have certainly died under the hidden weapon of the Supreme Elders from the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons.

“Senior Sister, you’re too kind.”

Lu Changsheng was calm and composed as if it were nothing, calculating what life-saving means he still had at his disposal.

Murong Shi glanced at him, this junior brother had brought her too many surprises.

Moreover, he was indeed handsome.

The Dao Heart that Murong Shi had cultivated for many years rippled, but she quickly suppressed these feelings with her Supreme Yin Skill.

Perhaps, she might be unable to keep up with her junior brother’s pace.

The junior brother’s cultivation speed was too rapid.

The Mount Shu group flew on their swords, covering ten thousand miles a day, and Lu Changsheng could already see the dark clouds over Iron Sword Pass, where demonic qi, Demonic Qi, Buddha’s light, and Sword Qi crisscrossed, with colorful magical treasures colliding.

Elders and disciples from Inquiry Immortal Pavilion, Immeasurable Temple, Martial Alliance, Hidden Dragon Temple, and Refinement Sect were at Iron Sword Pass, holding off the Demon Sects and Demon Race.

“It seems the battle has already begun.”

Lu Changsheng detected a few familiar auras.

“Everyone, prepare your Elixir Pills, Talismans. Although our Sect Leader and the Supreme Elders are not here, we Mount Shu, as the leader of the six major sects, have an unavoidable responsibility.”

Li Changye drew out his Heavenly Fire Sword, his expression solemn.

None of the Mount Shu disciples could help but hold their breath. In the confrontation with the four great Demon Sects and the Demon Race from Huang State, maybe not even one in ten would survive.

“Li Changye, your opponent is me. Unexpectedly, you all managed to escape from the deadly formation in the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons. It seems we underestimated Mount Shu’s strength,” said Wandaoyi, son of the Reincarnation Hall’s Sect Leader, who appeared with a group of Reincarnation Hall disciples and Demon Race Loose Cultivators from Huang State.

Wandaoyi swept a cold gaze over those present.

Li Changye stood in confrontation with Wandaoyi, “You’ve also stepped into the Void Refinement Realm.”

“Indeed, but I know I am not your match, so I’ve invited the Savage Elephant King from Huang State,” Wandaoyi said with an upward curl of his mouth.

From among the Demon Race Loose Cultivators of Huang State, a beast with the head of an elephant and a majestic body, a Great Demon of unmatched status, stepped forward.

“The Savage Elephant King!”

Murong Shi was shocked to see this Great Demon.

Li Changye’s brow also furrowed.

“Senior Sister, do you know the origin of this demon?”

Lu Changsheng could feel that this Great Demon invited by Reincarnation Hall was not easy to deal with; it was countless times more powerful than the Black Tiger Daoist he had encountered before.

“This Savage Elephant has the bloodline of an Ancient Divine Elephant; it has cultivated for thousands of years, once tearing apart a Void Refinement Realm monk from Immeasurable Temple with its bare hands. It was hunted by Immeasurable Temple and vanished into the depths of Huang State; I didn’t expect it to reappear… Unless the Sect Leader and some of the older Supreme Elders were here, we stand no chance against the Savage Elephant King,” said Murong Shi, her face pale.

“You all avoid this Great Demon,” Lu Changsheng transmitted his voice to his four disciples.

The aura of the Savage Elephant King was stronger than any of the Demon Sect Elders Lu Changsheng had encountered before.

Wandaoyi clearly did not want any complications and directly asked the Savage Elephant King to take action.

“Attack now, lest the night brings more dreams.”

“Wandaoyi, we had an agreement that if I help you kill the Mount Shu group, your Reincarnation Hall will give me an Immortal Artifact,” the Savage Elephant King said.

“Don’t start negotiating terms with me now, unless you want to defy the orders of the Demon Lord,” Wandaoyi warned.

“Bah, a nobody trying to punch above his weight,” the Savage Elephant King sneered in disdain, but upon hearing the words ‘Demon Lord,’ it shuddered involuntarily and had to obey Wandaoyi’s command.

“The three of us together might have hope of defeating the Savage Elephant King, but with Wandaoyi and others around, they will never let us unite…”

Li Changye was extremely wary of the Savage Elephant King and couldn’t figure out any way to defeat the Savage Elephant King or Wandaoyi.

“Eldest Senior Brother, let me give it a try.”

Lu Changsheng suddenly sent a telepathic message.

Li Changye and Murong Shi turned to look at Lu Changsheng in unison, their faces showing surprise.

“Lu, although you have an Immortal Artifact for defense, the Savage Elephant King has the bloodline of the Ancient Divine Elephant and has repeatedly tempered its body. With your cultivation level, even with the Immortal Artifact, you might not be able to withstand its attacks.”

“Stop joking, you could die if you face it alone!”

Murong Shi’s tone was stern, she did not want Lu Changsheng, who had just saved her life, to be killed by the Savage Elephant King.

“Then please, Senior Brother, and Senior Sister, quickly take care of your own formidable enemies and come to assist me against the Savage Elephant King. I will hold it off for now.”

Lu Changsheng had various lifesaving methods, and even if he couldn’t defeat the Savage Elephant King, he was confident he could escape.

“We have no other choice.”

Although Li Changye and Murong Shi also cultivated at the Void Refinement Realm, they lacked defensive Immortal Artifacts and their ability to take a beating was not as good as Lu Changsheng’s.

“Master…”

Lu Qinglian, Mo Huazhi, and Shen Xiaoyao, the three disciples, felt Lu Changsheng’s determination and couldn’t help worrying.

“Believe in Master.”

Lin Qingzhi was calm, having followed his master the longest, he knew his master was cautious and would not make a move without full confidence.

“You want to be my opponent? Have you ever heard of my title, the Savage Elephant King?”

The Savage Elephant King looked down upon everyone with pride; its body flowed with the gold blood of the Ancient Divine Elephant. With thousands of years of cultivation, its physique had reached an unimaginable level, and that was the capital of its pride.

“I haven’t heard of it, nor is there a need to remember it.”

“Oh? And why is that?”

“Because today you will die by my sword.”

“Hahaha, truly arrogant to the extreme!”

The Savage Elephant King became furious, no longer concealing its cultivation level. Its aura soared, whipping up sand and stones, shaking the very earth!

“Void Refinement Realm fourth layer!”

Li Changye, Murong Shi, Song Wuchuan, Zhao Wuyan, and other Mount Shu Elders were all shaken with fear.

The Savage Elephant King reappeared before the people with its cultivation having reached the fourth layer of the Void Refinement Realm!

Lu Changsheng’s expression turned solemn, the cultivation level of the Savage Elephant King exceeded his expectations.

Even if Lu Changsheng swallowed the eighth-grade Red Emperor Dragon Strength Pill, his cultivation would only barely rise to the peak of the third layer of the Void Refinement Realm, and it would continue to decline, unlike the real cultivation level of the Savage Elephant King.

This was a formidable enemy.

“Is this the aura of the party from Mount Shu?”

Xia Ningxue had been battling with the Holy Maiden Liu Yun’er and a group of Joyous Union Sect Elders when she suddenly sensed the arrival of the Mount Shu group. She glanced over, distracted, and saw Lu Changsheng preparing to engage the Savage Elephant King at the fourth layer of the Void Refinement Realm.

“No, you can’t possibly be a match for the Savage Elephant King…”

Xia Ningxue inexplicably worried for Lu Changsheng.

Not long ago, the Savage Elephant King smashed a Martial Alliance’s Supreme Elder who practiced Body Refinement with its bare hands, its ferocious reputation well-known.

“This is not the time to worry about your little lover, your opponent is me.”

“Soul Extinguishing Skills!”

Liu Yun’er gave a loud shout, activating the Hell Bell. Purple light blazed forth, striking towards Xia Ningxue.

Xia Ningxue operated her cultivation technique, seemingly merging with heaven and earth. The purple light passed through but couldn’t harm her soul, “I won’t be defeated by the same move again.”

“Your Supreme Forgetting Love Art has reached the eighth layer!”

Liu Yun’er cried out in shock. It had only been so long, yet Xia Ningxue had already grasped the eighth layer of the Inquiry Immortal Pavilion’s Sect-Defending Skills.

Elsewhere, the Savage Elephant King made its move. With a terrifying speed that didn’t match its robust body, it appeared instantly in front of Lu Changsheng and threw out a punch!
