Grudges Settled, the Curtain Falls

"Haha, Wild Elephant, looks like you're doomed to lose!" The Great Golden Roc let out a long cry and laughed arrogantly.

The raging hurricane's imposing force was no less than the fierce battle between the Demon Hunter Yudian and the Tong Ape just now.

"Great Golden Roc, must you become my enemy?" The Purple Savage Elephant roared furiously. It knew its own strength quite well. Even before the Great Golden Roc had revealed its hidden strength, it might not have been able to defeat it. Now that the Great Golden Roc had grown so much stronger, there was even less chance!

"Wild Elephant, perhaps you've forgotten that matter, but I haven't. I remember perfectly how you treated the Cloud Eagle who saved my life!" As if recalling something unforgettable, the Great Golden Roc's attacks grew even fiercer.

"Cloud Eagle?" Upon hearing that strange yet familiar name, the Purple Savage Elephant felt as though something had seized its heart, yet it could not recall it for the moment.

"So you really did forget. I never thought you bastard would even forget the brother closest to you back then. And my master even told me, before he died, to treat you with respect!" The Great Golden Roc shrieked sharply. Its intense tone made the Purple Savage Elephant's mind go cold, and scene after scene from the past appeared in its mind.

"Ah Lu, Ah Diao, from now on, you are good brothers of mine, the Purple Savage Elephant. Whoever dares bully you, I'll teach them a lesson!" A purple elephant said to a fawn and an eagle whose feathers had only just fully grown.

"Thank you, Brother Elephant!"

"Yes, yes!"

"Bastards! You dare bully my brothers? I'll beat you to death!" the purple elephant roared.

"They're just three mongrels. Do you think you can act so boldly just because you've banded together?" A white tiger with a golden character for "king" imprinted on its forehead commanded several subordinates beside it to punch and kick the eagle and deer. Yet they were all shielded beneath the purple elephant's body, which took every attack.

"Waaah, Brother Elephant, what's wrong? Get up!"

"Wake up, Brother Elephant! Don't leave us behind!"

The deer and eagle desperately shook the battered purple elephant, sobbing.

"You... two, don't... don't cry. Didn't I say... as long as I still have one breath left, I absolutely... won't let anyone bully you!" The purple elephant raised its trunk and gently scratched the deer and eagle.

Bang! With a loud crash, a white figure fell to the ground, then shakily rose to its feet. The golden character for "king" on its forehead was clearly visible.

"You dare hit me? My clan will never let you go!" the white tiger said viciously, its tone filled with terror.

Three figures appeared before it.

One was entirely purple, its thick trunk swinging back and forth, its sturdy tusks giving off a captivating metallic gleam.

One was entirely white, without the slightest impurity. It had powerful limbs, an agile body, and sharp antlers that pierced the sky.

The last circled endlessly in the air, completely black except for the tuft of white feathers atop its head.

"Sorry, but when us three brothers came here, we never intended to let you leave!" the eldest, the Purple Savage Elephant, said viciously, his voice filled with chilling killing intent.

"No!"

Swoosh! With one strike, the white tiger fell silent.

"Second Brother, Third Brother, go! I'll hold these guys off!" the Purple Savage Elephant shouted.

"No! If we leave, we leave together. I, Cloud Eagle, will never abandon my brothers!" Cloud Eagle screamed, his voice filled with intense unwillingness.

Bang! With a crisp blow, Cloud Eagle's head drooped as he fainted.

"Big Brother, take Third Brother and go. I'm the one best suited to deal with a situation like this!" the White Dragon Mantis Deer said calmly, handing the unconscious Cloud Eagle on his back to the Purple Savage Elephant.

The Purple Savage Elephant hesitated for a moment. Countless ideas flashed through his mind, only to be rejected one by one. In the end, he could only nod. "Then, Second Brother, take care!"

"Mm!" The White Dragon Mantis Deer nodded and charged outside without looking back, while the Purple Savage Elephant carried Cloud Eagle into a secret passage he had discovered by chance and arrived at Spirit Island.

For ten years, Cloud Eagle lived in constant remorse. Until one day, Cloud Eagle discovered a Leaf of Life that could greatly raise one's cultivation. At the time, he had only just reached Level 6.

"What? Is it true?" The Purple Savage Elephant looked at Cloud Eagle in delight.

"Mm, it's true!" Cloud Eagle was equally delighted.

"Then take me there quickly!"

"But it's gone!"

"You're lying to me! You're hiding something for yourself! Don't you want revenge anymore?" the Purple Savage Elephant roared.

Beside the enormous corpse of a pitch-black bird stood a purple elephant, madness now flickering in his eyes.

"Third Brother, you really shouldn't have lied to me. So you shouldn't blame me either. There's only one Leaf of Life each year. Rather than split it between two, it would be better for me to enjoy it alone. As long as I can reach Level 8, that so-called white tiger clan will be nothing to fear. So, you might as well fulfill my wish. Hahaha!" A crazed gleam filled the purple elephant's eyes.

"You never expected it, did you? I was behind you back then." The Great Golden Roc's eyes brimmed with killing intent as it stared fixedly at the Purple Savage Elephant.

"Haha, so you were that golden bird my Third Brother adopted back then. No wonder you looked so familiar." The Purple Savage Elephant seemed to have figured everything out. A mocking expression appeared on his face, as if lamenting the tricks of fate.

"That's right. Today, I'm avenging my foster father by killing you. Do you know how long I've waited for this moment?" The Great Golden Roc shrieked, its wings beating frantically as countless incomparably concentrated golden energy blades surged forth and slashed directly toward the Purple Savage Elephant.

Thank you for fulfilling my wish. The Purple Savage Elephant sighed inwardly, drawing in all the lightning aura around his body. He made no move to resist at all.

Slash! Slash! Slash! Countless huge golden blades instantly sliced open the Purple Savage Elephant's skin and severed his blood vessels.

Am I going to die? At last, I'll be free. The Purple Savage Elephant's eyelids grew heavier and heavier, as though all strength had left his body.

"Don't worry, I won't let you die so easily!" the Great Golden Roc sneered. It did not pity the Purple Savage Elephant's miserable state in the slightest. "Hey, you there, use your fire to burn him to death!"

The Great Golden Roc turned its gaze toward the Demon Hunter Yudian, who was discussing other matters with Huang Long.

"With pleasure!" Upon hearing the Great Golden Roc's words, the Demon Hunter Yudian said nothing further. He immediately walked to a spot not far from the Purple Savage Elephant and casually swung a Demonfire Blade at the utterly helpless beast.

Sizzle! Sizzle! The sound of burning fat rang out, accompanied by the wails of souls.

This war finally came to an end as the Purple Savage Elephant's body turned to ashes.
