Ancient Dragon Elephant Technique-Chapter 1357 - 44: The Cunning Rock Giant Demon

Eternal darkness, icy abyss, time seemed to have stopped flowing.

In the darkness, a powerful presence flickered in and out; it was an ancient creature, its body entangled by four chains.

Now, it had fallen into a deep sleep.

Tap, tap, tap...

Faint footsteps, almost inaudible, came from afar.

In the darkness, those cold eyes suddenly opened.

"Who dares to trespass upon the Rock Giant Demon’s resting place? Do they have a death wish?" A low, deep voice echoed, brimming with endless killing intent.

The entire abyss instantly seemed to transform into a Netherworld.

"It’s been ten years, and your temper is just as volatile as ever." Lin Feng stood in the darkness, looking at the Rock Giant Demon, and spoke blandly.

"It’s you..." Finally, the Rock Giant Demon recognized the intruder, and a dazzling light shot from its eyes.

It remembered Lin Feng, the young human it had dragged into the abyss ten years ago, intending to devour him.

But this young human held a peculiar stone stained with Holy Emperor Blood capable of consuming lives, which drove it away in shock.

Later, it struck a deal with him over the Purple Flame Earth Core Fire, and this young human promised to rescue it once his cultivation reached a higher level.

At the time, it had actually intended to trick him.

Who would have thought that this young human would actually eliminate the Fire Spirit of the Purple Flame Earth Core Fire?

And this young human saw through its scheme.

But having taken an oath to save it, what could he do even if knowing it had tricked him?

Thinking to this point, the Rock Giant Demon couldn’t help but feel a bit smug.

Lucky for it, it first made this young human swear to rescue it before revealing the location of the Purple Flame Earth Core Fire; although it couldn’t outsmart him to death, but luckily, this young human had already made an oath, and it’s difficult to break one.

As for the foolish Fire Spirit of the Purple Flame Earth Core Fire, unable to handle even a human boy, such a being had no right to remain its ally; dying was well-deserved.

Now seeing Lin Feng’s arrival, the Rock Giant Demon couldn’t help but grow excited, "You are here to fulfill your promise and rescue me?" it asked.

Lin Feng smiled slightly and replied, "Indeed! I’m here to liberate you, and soon, you’ll regain your freedom!"

"Hahaha... This is wonderful; I am finally about to be liberated," the Rock Giant Demon burst into a delighted laughter.

Lin Feng said, "I now need to break the four chains penetrating your body, which will take some time."

The inherently suspicious Rock Giant Demon now couldn’t help but doubt Lin Feng’s capability and said, "These four chains are forged from Supreme Yang Demon Iron, imprinted with countless runes. Can you truly break these four chains?"

Lin Feng replied, "The real formidable aspect of these four chains lies in their complex runes. Once these runes are destroyed, the chains’ power will greatly diminish. At that time, using a Divine Artifact Level treasure, I should be able to sever the chains!"

"But, the most challenging part is breaking these runes," muttered the Rock Giant Demon, frowning.

After a moment’s pause, the Rock Giant Demon continued, "These runes contain mysterious power. To be honest, even I have some Heart Virtue with runes, but they still elude me."

"Just because you can’t doesn’t mean I can’t. Let me see how mysterious these runes are."

Lin Feng advanced toward the Rock Giant Demon.

He seemed entirely unperturbed by the threat of the Rock Giant Demon’s attack.

The Rock Giant Demon, seeing Lin Feng swagger toward it, couldn’t help but feel uneasy. How has this young man’s courage grown so much?

The Rock Giant Demon quickly smirked inwardly.

If he can break them, I shall devour him.

As a descendant of the Ancient Dragon Elephant, his treasures must be on him; once devoured, the treasures of the Ancient Dragon Elephant will be mine.

If he cannot, he’ll still be eaten to vent my anger.

Then I’ll find someone else to break the chains.

The Rock Giant Demon sneered repeatedly, treating Lin Feng as a ready feast, irrespective of whether Lin Feng manages to rescue it.

The Rock Giant Demon still planned to make a move against Lin Feng.

...

Lin Feng always knew the Rock Giant Demon was treacherous and untrustworthy.

Moreover, it was perpetually ready to attack him, yet Lin Feng maintained a calm demeanor.

With the Demon Monarch as his ally, Lin Feng believed dealing with the Rock Giant Demon posed no issue.

Crouching before the chains, Lin Feng inspected the runes etched on them and was surprised; they turned out to be runes of the Heavenly Master Dao.

Was the Rock Giant Demon sealed by an ancestor of the Heavenly Master Dao?

The previous generation of Heavenly Masters appeared in the Ancient Era, yet the Rock Giant Demon has been sealed for a hundred thousand years, indicating it was not a Heavenly Master who sealed it. Lin Feng speculated it might have been another who, like him, inherited the Heavenly Master Dao but did not advance to a Heavenly Master.

"Kid, how’s it going? Can you deal with it?" the Rock Giant Demon asked, its sinister eyes fixed on Lin Feng.

Lin Feng nonchalantly asked back, "Who sealed you back then?"

"A damned individual. If I ever see that person, I’ll make sure to tear them limb from limb," the Rock Giant Demon answered viciously.

Clearly, it didn’t want to disclose too much about that individual, avoiding mentioning their name or origin.

It looked at Lin Feng, urging, "Kid, can you break the runes or not? Hurry up and give me an answer."

Lin Feng said, "There shouldn’t be a problem! Give me a few days!"

"Haha, excellent! Once you restore my freedom, I’ll repay you well," the Rock Giant Demon said, laden with implications.

"I’m quite eager to see what kind of treasure you’ll use to repay me," Lin Feng replied with an ironic smile.

Next, Lin Feng began breaking the runes on the chains. In reality, deciphering the Heavenly Master Dao runes wasn’t particularly difficult for Lin Feng, but to mislead the Rock Giant Demon, he pretended to struggle significantly.

Breaking the runes on the first chain took two days, then Lin Feng summoned the Black Dragon Sword, striking seven hundred twenty-nine times, finally severing the first chain.

"I am truly about to break free, hahaha..." The Rock Giant Demon shouted excitedly.

Lin Feng then proceeded to break the second chain.

The time taken to break the second chain was much less, only taking a day and a half, the third chain around a day, and the fourth chain about half a day.

"Kid, you’re good, learning as you go; the more you do it, the faster you get," the Rock Giant Demon remarked, gazing at Lin Feng with a sinister look.

Lin Feng chuckled and said, "At last, I didn’t disgrace my mission; I’ve helped you break the four runes, and soon you’ll be free."

He then retrieved the Black Dragon Sword once more, swinging it again at the fourth chain.

Seven hundred twenty-nine strikes in succession.

The fourth chain also fell under Lin Feng’s assault.

"Haha, it’s been a hundred thousand years, and I am finally free!" The Rock Giant Demon exclaimed in extreme excitement.

Suddenly, almost without warning, the Rock Giant Demon’s massive claw directly smacked toward Lin Feng.

It sneered, "Kid, to repay you, I’ve decided to smash you and then eat you."

BOOM!

The Rock Giant Demon’s attack was terrifying, bearing down on Lin Feng like Mount Taishan Pressing down.
