Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 245: One Punch
Chapter 245: One Punch
The Everlasting Immortal Fairy was taken aback, instinctively slapping downward. This was a reflex action that remained from fighting during the ancient era, and her combat style was long ingrained in her.
Just as Lü Chang got up, he felt as if a massive boulder had smashed into his head. With a thud, he collapsed to the ground.
“All of you are bad people. Arhat Fruit Fist.” Hearing that they wanted to steal her storage ring, the Everlasting Immortal Fairy was reminded of some unpleasant memories and slapped each of them once.
Despite her soft, delicate hands, they concealed immense power. When it was combined with a special force technique, the four Basic Golden Core demon beasts couldn’t withstand even a single hit. They lay sprawled on the ground once more, coughing up black blood.
The blood in demon beasts boiled with more exuberance than in humans. However, after receiving a slap from the Everlasting Immortal Fairy, their originally roiling blood cooled rapidly. Even its circulation slowed until it stopped completely, their fiery blood fading into a deathly silence.
The Arhat Fruit Fist cleared heat and moistened the lungs. Along with the lethal toxin from the pufferfish, the four demon beasts perished on the spot.
In less than an hour, five Golden Core demon beasts had died here.
“Even the Qilin Immortal doesn’t dare bully me, yet you four little demon beasts think you could?” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy harrumphed and planted her hands on her hips, pride swelling in her.
The Everlasting Immortal Fairy murmured to herself, “People like you have existed since ancient times, always trying to bully me. How hateful; three hundred thousand years have gone by, yet nothing has changed.” Walking away, she soon put the incident behind her and hummed a lighthearted tune while leaving four corpses behind her.
In ancient times, some people saw that I was a pretty woman and assumed I was gullible. They tried to deceive me, but the outcome was always the same—I saw through them with my sharp wit and killed them all.
“Pick, pick, picking mushrooms, picked a little mushroom...”
~~~
The Everlasting Immortal Fairy sauntered around, snapping off a branch and casually refining it into a magical treasure. She waved it around in the jungle as if she was holding an unparalleled sword. As she radiated a strange power, no insect dared to go near her.
“Humans are really so fragile; they can get poisoned. If only everyone could learn my health maintenance fist techniques and turn themselves into a powerful medicine, wouldn’t poison be useless on them then?
“Jeez, Lu Yang’s the same too. I kindly offered to teach him, but why did he refuse to learn? The Heaven Mandate Immortal and the others had to beg me on their knees, and even then, I didn’t teach them.”
This jungle felt very familiar to her. Before she became an immortal, she often wandered through the woods, in search of herbs to boost her cultivation or fend off surprise attacks from various prodigies.
Back then, I was very famous, not only because of my beauty but also my terrifying combat abilities and mysterious, unfathomable thoughts. No one could guess what I was thinking or what I would do next.
But one thing is for certain—I was the nightmare and greatest obstacle standing in the way of anyone seeking to become an immortal.
The Heaven Mandate Immortal and Qilin Immortal had yet to make a name for themselves, and the world knew nothing about them. Their biggest wish was to defeat the powerful Everlasting Immortal Fairy and rise to fame in one battle.
However, they never fulfilled their wish.
As such, the Everlasting Immortal Fairy was adept at dealing with a myriad of dangers and battles. Ambushing her in the jungle was impossible.
Roar!
The furious bellow of a demon beast reverberated from nearby, piquing the Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s interest. Before she could head over, she noticed the ground shaking. The source of the tremors drew closer, as if some colossal creature was sprinting.
Boom! Boom!
The Everlasting Immortal Fairy jumped onto a boulder and stood on tiptoe. Placing her right hand to her forehead, she peered into the distance. “That is...”
Trees fell, and dust billowed. The colossal figure towered above the trees in the jungle, revealing a coarse back.
It was a maddened elephant chasing a few people. The elephant was snow-white like jade, with six long tusks.
The few people being chased were highly skilled cultivators at the Advanced Golden Stage. However, when faced with the rampaging giant elephant, they didn’t have the slightest intention of resisting, simply focusing on running ahead and escaping.
The Everlasting Immortal Fairy leaped off the boulder.
When they saw the Everlasting Immortal Fairy, their faces turned pallid as they desperately yelled to her, “This is a Basic Nascent Soul Elephant King! It carries a legitimate ancient bloodline of the Six-Tusked White Elephant! For some reason, it has gone mad. Little girl, quickly run!”
Although the Six-Tusked White Elephant was not as prestigious as the Dragon, Phoenix, Taowu[1], or Qiongqi in ancient times, it was still a renowned demon race second only to them. At least three Transcendent Tribulation experts had emerged from their tribe.

These few people could tell the Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s cultivation stage at a glance, concluding that she was only at the Advanced Foundation Establishment Stage. Even cultivators similarly at the Basic Nascent Soul Stage didn’t dare to face the deranged Elephant King head-on.
If this little girl doesn’t flee, her fate is obvious. We don’t wish to see her die tragically. She seems to be paralyzed by fear.
One of them suddenly mustered his strength, planning to drag the Everlasting Immortal Fairy along, but to his surprise, she seemed to have merged with the earth. I’m an Advanced Golden Core cultivator, yet I can’t even pick up this little girl? What’s going on with her?
The others also tried to heave the Everlasting Immortal Fairy away but to no avail. As the Six-Tusked White Elephant was right on their trail, they dared not waste any more time and could only continue running.
“Elephant, you’re being naughty. Back then, your tribe leader swore an oath to me to never harm the humans.” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy revealed a secret even the Six-Tusked White Elephant Tribe didn’t know of.
Unfortunately, this white elephant has lost its sanity and can’t be reasoned with. She sighed. If I don’t stop it, those few people will be doomed.
It’s a pity for this body.
Taking a deep breath, she assumed a stance, clenched her right hand into a fist, and placed it at her waist.
“Immortal Fairy Fist Technique.”
She slowly threw a punch.
~~~
The bodyguards rushed over, panting. “Young Master Song Hua and other young masters, are you alright? We noticed some commotion here earlier. You didn’t accidentally trespass on the Six-Tusked White Elephant’s territory, did you? You mustn’t go there!”
These were young masters from the Song Family in the imperial capital. They had come to the Demon Suppression Pass to burnish their credentials for a smoother path to promotion in the future. Out of safety considerations, the Song Family even hired several bodyguards for them.
At the start, the young masters were somewhat well-behaved, but they became increasingly annoyed by the bodyguards who forbade them from doing this and that. Why are we here if we’re not allowed to do anything? Are we here on vacation?
Hence, they sneaked away while the bodyguards weren’t paying attention. Before they could even go far, they had stumbled across the Six-Tusked White Elephant’s territory and inadvertently provoked it.
Song Hua and the others sat slumped on the ground, their eyes wide and mouths agape as they stared at something. The bodyguards followed their gaze and were equally dumbfounded, standing there in a daze.
It was a terrifying ravine, as if some colossal creature had slid through and knocked down countless massive trees. At the end of the ravine lay an unconscious white elephant the size of a small mountain.
“What on earth happened?”
Song Hua and the others couldn’t answer, or rather, they didn’t know how to describe what had just happened.
A petite girl, about sixteen or seventeen and at the Advanced Foundation Establishment Stage, faced the rampaging Nascent Soul giant elephant, and with just one punch, she sent the elephant sprawling.
That punch seemed to have drained all the girl’s strength. She fell limply to the ground, fusing with the earth and vanishing from sight.
~~~
“You’re saying there’s a Nascent Soul Six-Tusked White Elephant nearby?” Lu Yang was panting heavily, having experienced successive days of battles. He sat on the ground to rest as he listened to the Eagle Mountain Five Heroes describe the extremely dangerous demon beasts in the vicinity.
“That giant elephant is said to be at the Basic Nascent Soul Stage and possess a strong territorial instinct. Whoever trespasses on its territory can expect to be trampled to death with no mercy.
“Moreover, the white elephant has a hot temper. It also treats the other Basic Nascent Soul demon beasts the same way. As long as they dare to intrude upon its territory without permission, they will bear the brunt of its attacks without fail. This was the reason it once fought with another Basic Nascent Soul demon beast. In the end, the white elephant won, and the other demon beast died.”
“Whew...” Meng Jingzhou sucked in a cold breath of air. So ruthless?
“You bet! I know that you two young heroes have displayed astonishing combat prowess, easily defeating several Golden Core demon beasts one after another. But even then, I doubt going up against the Six-Tusked White Elephant will be in your favor.”
The Eagle Mountain Five Heroes exhorted, “And that is why we mustn't get close to its territory.”
Lu Yang nodded. “I understand.” I always listen to people's advice.
“Lu Yang, I'm back.” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s soul drifted back into his mental space, unnoticed by everyone else.
“You're back so soon? It's not even three days yet.” Lu Yang was stunned. Based on my understanding of the Everlasting Immortal Fairy, I thought she'd need at least three full days to have enough fun.
“Umm...your wooden clone wasn't sturdy, and I damaged it,” the Everlasting Immortal Fairy confessed, her face full of grievances.
“What did you do?”
She stuck out her tongue, embarrassed about breaking the wooden clone. “Not telling you.”
If I had used the true Lu Yang to fight, I’d have the confidence to send the white elephant sprawling in one punch, all without damaging his body.
1. The Taowu is also one of the four fearsome beasts, along with the Qiongqi. It’s said to have the head of a human, the body of a tiger, and long tusks. ☜
