The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron

Chapter 1874: Chapter 1971: Elephant Demon

"How is that possible?" The black panther’s eyes were filled with shock. Although it had succeeded in striking, it only managed to tear Fang Lin’s skin without penetrating deeper into his body.

Bang!

Fang Lin turned around and threw a punch. The black panther immediately raised its claws to block, but ended up suffering a great loss. One of its paws was drenched in blood, with bones shattered by Fang Lin’s punch.

In pain, the black panther relied on its speed to escape to a distance, while Fang Lin stepped on the Nine Heavens Step, relentlessly pursuing the black panther.

However, after a while, Fang Lin stopped, realizing that even with the use of the Nine Heavens Step Skill, he couldn’t catch up with the panther. The latter’s speed was indeed too fast, faster than many flying demon beasts.

"Consider yourself quick to run." Fang Lin sneered, no longer pursuing the black panther. He figured that after taking a punch from him, the black panther should have learned its lesson and was unlikely to confront him again.

At that moment, Fang Lin turned his gaze to another spot and, without hesitation, flew over.

With seven Nine-Transformation demon beasts, Fang Lin had dealt with one, leaving six.

However, those six demon beasts were not as easy to deal with as the fleeing black panther. Fang Lin chose to handle the black panther first because he discerned that among the nearby Nine-Transformation demon beasts, the black panther was the weakest, opting to take on the easier opponent first.

But the other six Nine-Transformation demon beasts were not so easily handled.

"Humph!" A sudden cold snort was heard, and not far ahead of Fang Lin appeared a massive creature, a giant red elephant.

"Human, you’re courting death!" The giant elephant let out a muffled voice, its huge body resembling a mountain as it charged directly at Fang Lin.

Fang Lin frowned slightly, throwing a punch in silence. His seemingly fragile fist collided with the mountain-like body of the giant elephant.

With a huge bang, Fang Lin’s figure trembled slightly, his arm feeling somewhat numb, while the giant elephant staggered backwards, crashing into two mountains before coming to a stop.

"All show, no substance." Fang Lin sneered, though the giant elephant’s physical body was strong, it was still slightly inferior to Fang Lin’s current body.

"Don’t be arrogant!" The elephant’s eyes turned red, with a powerful energy of blood surging from its body, slightly reducing its size.

In the next moment, the giant elephant charged at Fang Lin again, its two sharp tusks flashing with a cold light.

Fang Lin’s expression remained unchanged, eager to test his physical strength against the giant elephant once more.

Bang, bang, bang!!!!

After three collisions, Fang Lin initially gained the upper hand, but later could only be evenly matched with the giant elephant.

The elephant’s size also shrank from the mountain-like stature to the size of a regular elephant.

But even though the elephant demon’s body was shrinking, its physical strength doubled, seemingly able to exert more power as it became smaller.

Indeed, having a large body doesn’t equate to strong physical strength, as some less noticeable demon beasts can unleash terrifying power.

"Human, hand over the Pills, and I’ll spare your life!" The elephant demon said in a booming voice, its trunk swinging back and forth with a sense of triumph, seemingly confident that Fang Lin’s strength was limited, believing victory was assured.

It indeed had reason to be smug. The elephant demon, being one of the physically strongest demon beasts, was a rare Nine-Transformation elephant demon, with ancient blood surging within, maximizing its physical prowess.

Though it lacked beast fire or other innate abilities of demon beasts, its mere body allowed it to thrive in the realm of ten thousand mountains and rivers.

"You sure talk big, sparing my life? Let’s see who spares whom." Fang Lin chuckled softly as eight Ancient Lamps of Flame God instantly merged into his body.

In an instant, Fang Lin’s aura surged, reaching the peak of the Immortal realm, vaguely exuding an air akin to a Heavenly Mandate powerhouse.

The elephant demon’s expression changed, not expecting that this human warrior still had such a hidden card, realizing it had underestimated its opponent.

"In the face of absolute power, what use are your petty tricks?" The elephant demon roared again, charging once more at Fang Lin, pushing its physical strength to the utmost, confident it could crush the human’s body.

Fang Lin remained expressionless, with dragon shadows swirling on his right arm as he unleashed a punch, accompanied by a clear dragon’s roar.

This punch, imbued with the breath of a True Dragon, struck directly at the elephant demon’s forehead, causing both to stagger back.

The elephant demon winced in pain, a deep fist imprint forming on its forehead, blood flowing out—its first injury after battling Fang Lin.

Although Fang Lin retreated, he remained unscathed, calmly watching the elephant demon with a slightly mocking smile at the corner of his mouth.

"With ancient blood coursing through you and naturally powerful physique, yet you can’t even best a mere human like me. You’re really disgracing your ancestors." Fang Lin remarked with a smile.

The elephant demon was furious, breathing heavily with a more ferocious glint in its eyes. Suddenly letting out a long howl, its two tusks detached, transforming into two beams of cold light charging at Fang Lin.

Fang Lin wasn’t surprised, already discerning that the tusks were less a part of the elephant demon’s body and more artifacts or weapons refined by it.

After all, the tusks were the hardest part of the elephant demon’s body, and refining them into artifacts would naturally result in extraordinary power.

Without hesitation, Fang Lin drew out an Ancient Spear, parrying the incoming tusks, though the impact left his arms trembling.

The two tusks continuously attacked Fang Lin, with the elephant demon relying on its formidable body to confront Fang Lin, temporarily suppressing him, leaving Fang Lin only capable of defending.

Meanwhile, hidden in the shadows, several other Nine-Transformation demon beasts watched the battle, coveting Fang Lin’s Seven Star Stepping Heaven Pill but hesitant to face him directly. The elephant demon’s charge served them well.

"Looks like this dumb elephant should win," a Nine-Transformation demon beast whispered.

"Though not the brightest, this guy’s physical strength is extremely formidable, making it well-suited to suppress a human warrior," another Nine-Transformation demon beast sneered.

"The Seven Star Stepping Heaven Pills crafted by this human won’t be devoured solely by this dumb elephant. It will have to share the spoils," a scheming glint flashed in the eyes of a Nine-Transformation demon beast hiding furthest away.

The Nine-Transformation demon beasts believed the elephant demon would prevail, yet the development completely surpassed their expectations.
