Chapter 26: Dragon Elephant Divine Warriors
Earning fifty thousand small coins in one go—such good fortune, the heavens truly favor me!
The young stall owner was so overjoyed he could hardly contain himself, nodding vigorously. After sharing lunch together, they left South Mountain Gathering, leading Ning Xiaochuan to the place where he had picked the Blood Toad Wood leaves.
Just as they reached the edge of the market, someone shouted from behind, "Gou Sheng, you damn bastard, you still owe me eighty small coins! When the hell are you paying up?"
The speaker was a middle-aged man in a yellow robe, around fifty years old, with a long beard. He sat at the edge of the market behind a rickety wooden table, a pole planted beside him with a white banner that read: "One finger tells fate, two fingers tell fortune, three fingers tell life and death."
The man's eyes were milky white, devoid of pupils—clearly blind.
The young man walking with Ning Xiaochuan spat fiercely on the ground and retorted, "Lin Sanzhi, are you really blind or just faking it? I was dozens of meters away, and you still knew it was me. Your eyes can't be truly blind. And I’m warning you—don’t call me Gou Sheng next time!"
Lin Sanzhi sat in his chair, legs crossed, and chuckled. "Heh! When someone owes me money, I can smell them from a thousand miles away."
"So you sniff them out? I thought you calculated it," the young man named Gou Sheng scoffed.
"Only if they’re ten thousand miles away do I need to calculate their location," Lin Sanzhi declared confidently.
Ning Xiaochuan studied the blind fortune-teller closely, finding it hard to believe. If he were truly blind, how could he identify someone from dozens of meters away?
Drawing from his years of medical experience, Ning Xiaochuan could tell the man’s blindness was genuine—not an act.
This was truly bizarre!
Truly, masters often emerge from the most unexpected places.
Thud!
Gou Sheng pulled out a large silver coin from his pocket and slammed it onto Lin Sanzhi’s table. "I struck it rich today, so here’s your money—principal and interest. Keep the change!"
Lin Sanzhi slowly extended his hand from his sleeve, revealing only three fingers—thumb, index, and pinky—the other two long gone.
He deftly pocketed the large silver coin, a faint smile curling his lips. "Much obliged. I won’t return the extra twenty small coins."
Yu Yan whispered, "This man really has no shame."
Gou Sheng also thought Lin Sanzhi was shameless. He had told him to keep the change, but he actually took it without hesitation. Fine, I made a fortune today—I won’t fuss over a few small coins. But next time, I won’t be so generous. Generous people are idiots!
Boom!
The ground trembled violently.
Roar!
Roar!
Two dragon-like roars shook the heavens, echoing across South Mountain Gathering and causing widespread panic.
Thud! Thud!
The tremors grew even stronger.
Ning Xiaochuan, Yu Yan, Gou Sheng, and Lin Sanzhi all retreated to the side of the street, watching as a group of soldiers clad in crimson armor marched down the avenue.
At the forefront were twelve Dragon Elephants.
The Dragon Elephants stood as tall as houses, their legs thick as pillars, their bodies covered in scales. They had the bodies of elephants and the heads of divine dragons, letting out long roars akin to dragon cries that sent tremors through the hearts of the martial artists in South Mountain Gathering.
Each Dragon Elephant carried a warrior clad in crimson armor, their bodies coursing with immense Martial Arts Profound Qi. They wielded spears as thick as bowls, exuding an overwhelming pressure that forced some of the more timid onlookers to their knees, kowtowing frantically toward the Dragon Elephants.
"Heavens! What’s happening? Twelve Dragon Elephant Warriors and six thousand Crimson Armor Battalion soldiers have been mobilized—is there a war?"
"Don’t you know? The Dragon Elephant Divine Martial Battalion is launching a purge against Dark Emperor City’s lair. The Crimson Armor Battalion is just here to assist."
"Rumors say Dark Emperor City’s lair constantly shifts, elusive as a shadow in the night. No one knows where they hide."
"The Dragon Elephant Divine Martial Battalion is one of Yulan Kingdom’s three most elite forces. They must have pinpointed Dark Emperor City’s location, or they wouldn’t make such a grand display of force."
...
The surrounding martial artists buzzed with discussion. Young talents emerged from nearby taverns, gazing at the twelve Dragon Elephant Divine Warriors with excitement.
A pretty young girl with braids stared at the towering Dragon Elephants, her dark eyes gleaming with envy. "It’s the legendary Dragon Elephant Divine Martial Battalion, one of the three great elite forces! And they’ve sent out twelve Dragon Elephant Warriors!"
A young man in a cyan-blue sorcerer’s robe stood atop a nearby rooftop, his eyes filled with admiration. "A single Dragon Elephant Warrior’s combat prowess equals three thousand ordinary soldiers. With twelve working together, their combined strength surpasses fifty thousand troops!"
"The destructive power of the Dragon Elephant Warriors is unmatched—they’re true engines of war. For ordinary soldiers to face them isn’t battle; it’s slaughter!"
...
The Dragon Elephant Divine Warriors had always been shrouded in mystery, and now that they had finally appeared in public, many martial artists were thrilled and awestruck.
Ning Xiaochuan could feel the immense aura radiating from the Dragon Elephant Warriors. Each of the Dragon Elephants’ scales was as large as a palm, a sight both terrifying and awe-inspiring. He couldn’t help but yearn to possess such a mighty steed himself.
The Dragon Elephants possessed tremendous strength—one could topple a small city’s walls with a single charge, and a single step could shatter a bridge.
On the battlefield, a single Dragon Elephant Warrior could annihilate thousands of soldiers, holding a strategic pass alone against ten thousand foes!
Of course, Dragon Elephants were exceedingly rare. Only the most exceptional geniuses could be selected into the Dragon Elephant Divine Martial Battalion, eventually becoming revered Dragon Elephant Warriors.
Ning Xiaochuan’s gaze remained fixed on the twelve warriors astride the Dragon Elephants. Each of them pulsed with intense Martial Arts Profound Qi, as if rivers of blood surged within their veins.
Among the twelve Dragon Elephant Divine Warriors, there were two beautiful female warriors, both around twenty years old, with sharp eyes.
One of them, a blue-haired, green-eyed warrior, glanced at Ning Xiaochuan. The moment their eyes met, Ning Xiaochuan felt his blood freeze, cold sweat breaking out all over his body as he staggered back two steps.
So powerful!
A single look forced me to retreat!
"Such terrifying killing intent—this is a true martial arts master!" Ning Xiaochuan realized his palms were drenched in sweat, which then froze into icy shards. He suspected this female Dragon Elephant Divine Warrior could topple a city wall with a single spear thrust.
The twelve Dragon Elephant Divine Warriors and six thousand crimson-armored soldiers soon left South Mountain Gathering, gradually fading into the distance.
"Roar!"
A dragon's roar echoed from the sky.
A massive shadow appeared, flying over South Mountain Gathering. Its enormous body blotted out the sun, plunging the world into darkness.
It had colossal wings—each flap stirred fierce winds on the ground.
Compared to the shadow above, the Dragon Elephants seemed tiny, as if they could be swallowed whole in a single bite.
Outside South Mountain Gathering, the twelve Dragon Elephant Divine Warriors halted, gazing up at the enormous shadow. Lightning flickered through the clouds, and a massive claw emerged—just one claw dwarfed the Dragon Elephants in size.
"Move out!" ordered the blue-haired warrior.
Only half an hour later did South Mountain Gathering finally settle into silence.
Ning Xiaochuan exhaled deeply. "What was that enormous shadow in the clouds just now?"
"It must be a legendary dragon," Yu Yan said.
"A dragon?" Ning Xiaochuan had never seen such a colossal creature. Though it remained hidden in the clouds, he could still sense the overwhelming power radiating from it—as if a single breath could sweep away all of South Mountain Gathering.
Heavens!
A dragon from legend!
Do such creatures truly exist in this world?
Gou Sheng added, "Legends say the Jade Orchid Imperial Palace indeed possesses mysterious Dragon Warriors, surpassing all other military forces. Each Dragon Warrior can single-handedly turn the tide of war, though they rarely appear unless in critical battles. To besiege Dark Emperor City—is it really necessary to mobilize both Dragon Elephant Divine Warriors and Dragon Warriors?"
