Dragon Elephant Thunder Sound

Deep within the underground palace, the dead silence was shattered by the sound of heavy footsteps.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

With every step Fang Gang took, the hard bluestone tiles beneath his feet exploded, spiderweb cracks spreading wildly!

The entire underground palace trembled, and dust rained down from the dome!

The immense power of the Dragon Elephant surged and roared within his fully transformed muscles and bones. Each contraction and expansion of his muscles brought a low, thunderous rumble of bones and sinews—the Dragon Elephant Thunder Sound!

His right hand tightly gripped the jet-black broken horn. The dark golden blood patterns coiled around the horn flowed with light, continuously infusing his left arm with a surge of raw, primal power.

Beneath the skin of his left arm, the eerie dark golden patterns had spread to his shoulder like living vines, bringing a strange pain that blended burning and freezing, along with explosive growth in strength!

Hum—!

At the end of the underground palace passage ahead, two colossal shadows embedded in the stone walls suddenly opened their eyes! They were a pair of pupils formed from burning, eerie green ghost fire!

Rumble! Rumble!

The stone walls exploded!

Two stone俑 guards, three meters tall and cast entirely from some dark green metal, smashed through the rubble and stepped out!

Their bodies were as heavy as mountains, their joints covered with ferocious beast-head reliefs. Their movements were somewhat stiff and slow, but they carried a crushing, overwhelming might!

In their hands, they each held a bronze great halberd, over four meters long, its blade as thick as a door panel and covered in ancient thunder patterns!

The tips of the halberds flashed with cold light. Merely dragging them across the ground carved deep gouges into the hard earth!

Grade A! Slumbering Guardians! Embodiments of strength and defense!

"Trespassing on sacred artifacts... death!" A muffled voice, like grinding rocks, issued from the chest cavity of the leading stone yong, carrying icy killing intent.

Before the words even finished, the two bronze great halberds tore through the air, accompanied by a piercing shriek and immense force. They swung from left and right, like two streaks of green lightning, directly down at Fang Gang in the center of the passage!

Where the halberd wind passed, the air was forcibly displaced, creating visible vacuum ripples!

The attack was simple! Direct! A pure crushing of power!

Facing this terrifying combined assault, capable of splitting a small building into ruins, Fang Gang showed no fear in his eyes, only burning battle intent!

"Good!"

He didn't dodge or evade! He didn't even put down the broken horn in his right hand!

The perfect Nine Yang vital energy and blood within him erupted like a dormant volcano! Golden-red lava flowed beneath his skin! The defensive power of the Indestructible Golden Body condensed into his left fist!

The immense power of the Dragon Elephant compressed and focused wildly amidst the thunderous roar of his bones and sinews!

"Dragon Elephant! Break!"

His left fist became a burning golden-red meteor, striking after but arriving first! Carrying a domineering will to shatter the vacuum and destroy all methods, it fiercely smashed towards the bronze great halberd swinging down from the left!

With his fist! To clash with the great halberd!

"Clang—!!!!!"

An indescribably terrifying explosion resounded in the underground palace passage! It was like nine heavens' thunder erupting in the confined space!

The violent sound waves formed tangible impacts, smashing into the stone walls on both sides and shaking loose countless pieces of rubble!

At the center of the collision!

Blinding golden-red light and dark green halberd light wildly clashed and annihilated each other!

Crack crack crack—!!!

A grating sound of metal groaning began to echo!

The bronze great halberd, forged from some unknown metal and incredibly heavy, bent into a heart-stopping arc the moment it made contact with Fang Gang's fist burning with golden-red flames!

Where the halberd blade met the fist, the hard metal, as if unable to withstand the impact of the terrifying force, instantly cracked open with countless spiderweb fissures!

"Roar!" The terracotta guard wielding the halberd let out a muffled roar. Its massive body was forced to stagger back by the violent recoil! Its heavy metal feet plowed two deep furrows in the ground!

And Fang Gang! His figure was like a rock rooted to the ground! Unmoving! His left fist, covered in golden-red radiance, hadn't even a single white mark!

The great halberd from the stone俑 guard on the right had arrived! Carrying the might of Mount Tai pressing down!

Fang Gang's gaze was cold, not even looking at it! The muscles in his right arm bulged like dragons! His right hand, gripping the jet-black broken horn, was like swinging a sky-cleaving hammer. With brute force, he swung it backhand!

Whoosh—!

The broken horn tore through the air, creating a dull, heart-stopping wind pressure!

The dark golden blood patterns flowing on it surged with light, emitting a primal, soul-shuddering heavy pressure!

"Scram!"

The broken horn smashed fiercely into the side of the bronze great halberd descending from the right!

There was no clang of metal!

Only a dull cracking sound, like a heavy hammer striking rotten wood!

"Bang—!!!"

The imposing bronze great halberd, starting from the point of impact on its side, twisted, deformed, and shattered into pieces as if detonated by explosives from within!

Innumerable dark green metal fragments mixed with snapped lightning patterns, shooting backward like cannonballs!

The stone puppet guard on the right was hit hard! Its massive body was sent flying off the ground by the terrifying force and heavy pressure from the Broken Horn, crashing fiercely into the stone wall behind it!

BOOM!!!

A huge indentation was blasted into the stone wall, and rubble rained down!

The stone puppet guard was deeply embedded in the crater, its dark green metal body covered in cracks, the ghost fire in its chest flickering violently, its light dim!

Fang Gang retracted the Broken Horn, not even glancing at the two guards who had been repelled.

The dark gold patterns branded on his left arm seemed to have spread upward by another sliver during the recent burst of power, the burning sensation intensifying.

He strode forward, his target the exit deeper within the underground palace!

His heavy footsteps landed on the shattered ground, the Dragon Elephant Thunder Sound roaring incessantly, each step causing the entire underground palace structure to groan under the strain!

"Stop him!" The stone puppet holding a halberd on the left struggled to stand, letting out an enraged roar, dragging its cracked giant halberd and charging again!

Fang Gang didn't look back, casually swatting backward with his left hand!

"Great Sun! Incinerate Demon!"

A palm print, condensed to the point of being tangible and burning with golden-red flames, shot out and instantly imprinted itself on the thick chest of the stone puppet guard!

"Sizzle—BOOM!!!"

The Supreme Yang True Fire clashed violently with the dark green metal!

Flames instantly engulfed the puppet's upper body! The terrifying explosive force blasted it away again, smashing it heavily onto the ground!

A large, scorched hole was melted into the metal of its chest, the energy core within emitting cracking sounds, and the ghost fire quickly extinguished!

The other guard, trapped in the stone wall, struggled to get out.

Fang Gang had already reached the end of the passage. Ahead were stone steps leading up to the surface. He paused his steps, glanced sideways at the struggling stone puppet, and forcefully exerted his right arm!

"WHOOSH—!"

The black Broken Horn in his hand transformed into an obsidian light that tore through the darkness. Like a massive stone hurled by a catapult, it carried a piercing whistling sound as it smashed fiercely towards the stone puppet's head!

"BANG—CRACK!!!"

The stone puppet's head, cast from metal, shattered instantly like a fragile clay pot when struck by the Broken Horn!

Countless metal fragments and internal energy points scattered everywhere! The massive, headless body froze completely and crashed to the ground with a thud!

The Broken Horn was deeply embedded in the stone wall behind, still vibrating with a low hum, dark golden blood patterns flowing with a faint glow upon it.

Fang Gang walked up the stone steps, reaching out his right hand without looking back.

As if pulled by an invisible force, the Broken Horn embedded in the stone wall abruptly broke free and flew back, landing steadily in his palm.

The sense of power from the absorption of the origin, intertwined with the burning pain of the brand on his left arm, felt like drinking poison to quench thirst.

He stepped out of the underground palace entrance and stood once more in the dilapidated City God Temple.

The night wind wailed, and leaden clouds hung low.

But Fang Gang's spiritual perception had already pierced through the temple walls, clearly "seeing"—

Outside the temple, in the barren land, figures flickered!

Three figures exuding powerful and strange auras, like vultures waiting for prey, had sealed the temple's exit in a triangular formation!

To his left, a woman in a flamboyant opera costume, her face smeared with pale white makeup, held a mourning stick from which black viscous liquid dripped continuously. A haunting, disorienting phantom sound of weeping surrounded her.

To his right, a hunched figure shrouded in a loose black robe, holding a bone staff, had clusters of viscous black mist composed of countless tiny poisonous insects churning at its feet, accompanied by incessant hissing.

Directly in front, a burly giant clad in tattered bronze armor, his face covered by a ferocious bronze mask, held a door-sized zhanmadao (saber) upside down. The blade's edge burned with a faint green ghost fire!

The saber was entwined with countless illusory figures of wailing, resentful souls!

The third of the Nightmare Twelve Priests: the Phantom Sound Priest, the Insect Gu Priest, and the Ghost General Priest!

Further away, countless shadowy figures, radiating fierce auras, writhed and approached in the darkness! These were the elite cultists summoned and the fierce ghosts under their control!

A chilling killing intent, like a tangible tide, engulfed the entire City God Temple!

The Faceless Cult Master's cold command still echoed in his ears.

Fang Gang gripped the still-transmitting-power Broken Horn in his hand, feeling the burning patterns on his left arm spreading to his shoulder blade and the surging, almost bursting, violent power contained within.

He stood at the entrance of the ruined temple, shadows outlining his tall, spear-like silhouette.

Facing the heavily arrayed enemies and the surging darkness outside the temple, he not only did not retreat but instead grinned, revealing a row of bone-white teeth, the fighting spirit blazing in his eyes almost manifesting into tangible flames.

"Everyone's here?"

His voice was not loud but clearly pierced through the night wind, carrying an arrogant, all-conquering tone. "Saves me the trouble of finding you one by one!"

The Dragon Elephant Thunder Sound roared within his bones and muscles, responding to the bloody feast that was about to commence!
