Immortality from Taming Elephant-Chapter 447 - 211: Chaotic Battle, On the Verge of Third Grade (Part 3)
The other Barbarians joined in, and the aftermath of several Third Grade Barbarians striking simultaneously could almost destroy a county.
A figure appeared, blocking the Barbarians, Jiang Hong’s expression was somewhat solemn.
He hadn’t expected there would be so many Third Grade Barbarians today.
Suddenly, the battlefield underwent a change.
From the battlefield where countless had perished in the distance, strange ghostly shadows emerged, as if the dead were awakening. An intricate web of Soldier Fiend power intertwined in the heavens and the earth, spreading a terrifying blood-red aura.
Gongsun Wang...
"Gong Nibu, I won’t kill you, but I hope you can come with me to the Ten Thousand Laws Sect."
Gongsun Wang smiled at Gong Nibu, as if an old farmer was looking at a fattened pig ready for market.
Gong Nibu’s face changed slightly, "Gongsun Wang, it’s you!?" 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖
The battle resumed.
However, the situation had already changed significantly.
Gong Nibu could put on a show in front of Xu Guang, but in front of Gongsun Wang, he was like a toddler taking his first steps, every move already seen through. Even his divine techniques were constantly being dismantled by Gongsun Wang’s nearly perfected Soldier Killing Divine Power.
Rise!
One of the four brothers faced Xu Guang, a sinister smile on his face as if he had struck gold.
He was adept in the Poison Path, his methods eerie and strange. Head-on, he might not be Xu Guang’s match, but given the chance, Xu Guang would surely die.
"Rise!"
With a wave of his hand, in the blink of an eye, a tiny snake appeared behind him, like a soul body, sneaking into Xu Guang’s body.
"Hahaha, you’ve fallen for my Poison of Ten Thousand Snakes, you’re doomed!"
The opponent laughed heartily, as if he could already see the enticing treasure of the Royal Court coming his way.
Suddenly, the ground beneath him exploded, countless vines burst forth, binding him completely.
In his struggle, Xu Guang’s form dissipated, reappearing right in front, delivering a punch.
...
The battle lasted a full day.
In the valley, Xu Guang clasped his hands to express thanks to everyone.
Gongsun Wang waved his hand nonchalantly, merely casting a glance at Jiang Hong, "Don’t forget what you owe me."
Outside Iron Dragon Pass, the situation was tense, and he had little thought for pleasantries. Resolving the matter, he turned and left directly.
The gains were fruitful, the Barbaric Patterns on the Third Grade Barbarians allowed for many uses, such as holding them in hand to serve as an external force for extended stays in the Void Realm.
Coupled with Xiu Chuan’s Barbaric Patterns, Xu Guang felt his time in the Void Realm should extend to two hours.
"What do you plan to do next?"
Jiang Hong asked.
"Naturally, continue my Cultivation."
Thus, Xu Guang, in conjunction with three top experts, ambushed and killed six Third Grade Barbarians again in Luoyun County of Changsong Prefecture, stunning the world. This was nearly a quarter of the Barbarian forces this time.
In the following days, Zouchuan Dao’s army swept forward like an unstoppable force. In just two months, they drove the Barbarians back into the deep mountains and forests. This time, the Jiang Family had made thorough preparations. Though the Barbarians’ tunnels remained undiscovered, the Jiang Family’s great ancestor personally oversaw things, rendering the Barbarians in Zouchuan Dao like water without a source, with no further reinforcements.
As a result, due to Xu Guang, Dragon Gate’s reputation soared again. Though not reaching its peak, it was considered only slightly behind the Jiang Family’s immense power, truly on equal footing with Jiufeng Mountain and the Taiyi Alliance.
With life settling down, Xu Guang entered a genuine phase of peace.
Having slain countless Barbarians on the battlefield, the spoils were abundant and included many treasures useful to him.
Dragon Gate grew once more, with more disciples, providing Xu Guang daily experiences exceeding 150,000.
Having undergone numerous extreme battles, in two months’ time, Xu Guang had developed the Alien Body to its full potential, and the breakthrough to the Third Grade was not far off.
The only regret was the fifth divine technique, with no signs of opening the Earth Gate; the Earth Gate stood as firm as a rock.
Xu Guang chose not to dwell on these matters, planning to break through to the Third Grade before focusing on other things.
All of his current experience was saved up.
...
Under the waterfall.
"Those people aren’t from the Imperial Family."
Li Qian frowned and said.
Those people persistently visited Xu Guang, and considering their contributions against the Barbarians, Xu Guang let Li Qian handle them.
He didn’t like those people. The group of dozens had a minimum Cultivation level of Second Shedding Zhenren, with Fourth Grade Profound being the majority. Among them, the young man with a headband and a little moustache had a Cultivation level that even Xu Guang couldn’t discern, indicating that his Divine Thought was at least equivalent to Xu Guang’s.
Li Ruzhen’s ambitions were known to him, and he didn’t want to be dragged into it, especially since Li Ruzhen seemed willing to do anything, even collaborating with the Corpse God Sect of South Wind Dao.
The Corpse God Sect was notorious and disliked by many.
Xu Guang didn’t want to get caught up in these matters and enjoyed his current serene life.
"What did you notice?" Xu Guang asked.
Li Qian shook his head, "Just a feeling."
He hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"But I’m planning to go to Shangjing with them..."
Not entirely to take refuge, but because Crown Prince Rongze had left many treasures in Shangjing, which would be his resources. Previously, he didn’t want to go due to the chaos in Shangjing, but now seemed the right time.
Xu Guang nodded.
"If you want to go, then go. If things don’t work out, remember that I owe you."
Li Qian looked grateful.
"Thank you."
After Li Qian left, Xu Guang stood calmly before the waterfall, pondering the matter of achieving the Third Grade.
A few more days passed.
Xu Guang still hadn’t come up with any insights for breaking through to the Third Grade,
During a casual chat after dinner with Jiang Zi Yun.
"You’ve been too tense, I think you need a good rest for a while."
Xu Guang pondered.
...
Half a month later.
On the Chujiang River.
A black awning boat drifted gently, with no boatman or anything aboard.
On the deck, a young man lay sprawling, drifting with the waves.
Getting up, Xu Guang gazed at the scenic beauty of the Chujiang River. Having set out from its source, he didn’t know where he had drifted to at the moment.
Jiang Zi Yun emerged from the cabin, wearing a serene smile.
"You’re not planning to drift all the way to Hai Province, are you?"
Xu Guang smiled faintly, "Of course not. By the way, how’s your investigation going?"
"I’m not investigating anymore," Jiang Zi Yun said softly.
Xu Guang was taken aback, "Not investigating?"
"With you by my side, those matters don’t matter anymore."
Xu Guang was speechless, feeling moved.
Jiang Zi Yun had truly given up many things for him.
But he said nothing, for promises he couldn’t fulfill shouldn’t be spoken, lest he and others both be disappointed.
Embracing each other, they stood looking at the boundless water and sky in the distance.
