Xu Chunniang raised a hand and cleaved out a stream of demonic qi, diverting the water column before charging toward the Elephant-nosed Beast through its deflected spray.
The Elephant-nosed Beast's two crimson eyes were filled with savage violence and bloodlust.
Its two forelegs slammed heavily onto the ground, then it reared upright and met Xu Chunniang head-on.
It intended to crush her to death with its stout, hillock-like body.
Compared to the Elephant-nosed Beast, Xu Chunniang looked exceptionally petite, not even as thick as one of its legs.
Yet she was remarkably agile. With a shift and a dodge, she slipped past its two forelegs and closed in against its belly.
A fair hand shot out without warning, striking toward the Elephant-nosed Beast's chest and abdomen with ghostly speed.
The Elephant-nosed Beast was thick-skinned and tough-fleshed; ordinary Demon Soldiers and demonic artifacts could not harm it. Only its chest and abdomen were among its few weak points.
Xu Chunniang's palm strike appeared light and fluttering, but it contained seventy percent of her strength. It shook the Elephant-nosed Beast so badly that it staggered several steps back.
Had that strike landed elsewhere, it would have been little more than a scratch.
But Xu Chunniang had struck its chest and abdomen, leaving it in considerable pain.
The Elephant-nosed Beast glared fiercely at Xu Chunniang, all four legs breaking into a mad charge as it barreled straight at her.
Several enormous boulders blocking its path were even sent flying by its charge, a clear testament to its tremendous strength.
Xu Chunniang stood with her hands behind her back, a trace of disdain appearing on her face. This Elephant-nosed Beast was big enough, but its brain was not particularly bright.
Never mind. She only intended to tame it for use as a mount anyway,
