#78 - Chapter 78: The Deathly Struggle, the Essence of the Five Elements

The Great White Elephant was now beaten to the ground, unable to resist. He still held onto someone tightly, continuously bashing his head against them, knocking them unconscious. He wasn't in much better shape, his head and face covered in blood.

Countless fists and blades struck his body, and eventually, his vision blurred, turning blood red, before he lost consciousness.

Seeing the Great White Elephant fall to the ground, covered in wounds and unsure if he was dead or alive, filled Li Ergou with anger, a furious flame that seemed capable of igniting the sky.

However, Liu Teng was incredibly powerful. He even possessed divine power, with sword qi constantly emanating from his blade, incredibly sharp.

After a few moves, Li Ergou felt increasingly outmatched by Liu Teng. Was he really going to die? But even if he had to die, he didn't want Liu Teng to benefit.

A look of determination appeared in his eyes as he thought, 'Liu Teng, Liu Teng, you insist on putting me to death. If that's the case, then we'll die together, we'll be destroyed together.'

At that moment, Liu Teng thrust his sword towards him. Seeing the trajectory of the sword, he slightly turned his body, avoiding his heart. The sword pierced into his body, grazing the edge of his heart.

Liu Teng was overjoyed, thinking, 'You won't survive this!' Just as he was about to violently shake the sword, splitting Li Ergou in two.

Unexpectedly, Li Ergou concentrated his last bit of martial arts true energy into his fist, forming a layer of light blue罡 qi on his fist.

Ignoring the intense pain throughout his body, he punched Liu Teng, the surging, immense power directly blasting through Liu Teng's chest.

Liu Teng looked at his body in disbelief, his eyes wide, his voice trembling as he said, "No… How… How could this be?"

Then, madness filled his eyes, and he used all his remaining energy, his palm turning red, as if covered in flames, and struck Li Ergou's chest.

Li Ergou felt as if his heart had been shattered, and he was sent flying directly into the Longevity Well by the force.

Liu Teng also fell to the ground, his eyes glazed over. Suddenly, he saw in the sky what looked like a giant celestial dog crossing the sky, biting down on the moon.

"Celestial dog eating the moon, celestial dog eating the moon… Damn Li Ergou, I didn't expect you to be a mad dog. I'm not willing… I'm not…" His voice trailed off, and he closed his eyes in resentment. The tyrant of Heavenly Dog Town died.

Huang Batian was dumbfounded by this tragic scene. Seeing Liu Teng die, he was terrified, his body trembling uncontrollably.

He couldn't help but think, 'Liu Teng is dead. The Liu family will never let me go.' At this thought, he panicked and was filled with fear, scrambling to his feet and staggering out of town.

He kept thinking, 'Go home, I need to go home. The outside world is too dangerous, too dangerous.'

Li Ergou fell into the Longevity Well, and coincidentally, at that moment, the celestial dog was eating the moon, and the entire sky suddenly turned pitch black, so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.

Countless people in the town stood in their yards, wanting to see what miracle would occur.

So cold. The icy water made Li Ergou slightly more conscious, but he knew he was going to die. He felt like that palm strike had severed his heart meridians. He was so weak, so weak.

Suddenly, he felt a beam of light shining on him, a golden light that passed through his body, went upwards, shot out of the Longevity Well, and into the night sky, forming a giant pillar of light.

It could be seen that there were some palm-sized gourds in the pillar of light. These small gourds were not physical objects, but were formed by countless rays of light.

The small gourds were black, red, green, white, and yellow, with many different colors, translucent in appearance. They flew out of the well and shot out in all directions in the air.

Soon, someone in the town shouted loudly, "Opportunity, opportunity is here!"

Many people in the town soared into the sky, grabbing at those things.

In the Liu family compound, Qian Qian saw those light-condensed objects and excitedly said, "Miss, the opportunity is here! Let me go and grab them."

Zhu Zhu nodded, but felt a little lost. She didn't know why Ergou hadn't come today, which was really annoying and helpless, but she hoped he could be lucky enough to seize an opportunity as well.

In a daze, Ergou didn't know how deep he had sunk into the water. At that moment, he reached out and felt like he had touched something. In his blurred vision, he saw a green gourd that was half a person tall.

He was puzzled, wondering what the situation was with this gourd and why there was such a thing here.

To his surprise, the gourd was very large but very light. He lifted the gourd up without much effort, and unexpectedly, a fist-sized, emerald green liquid fell from the gourd.

Strangely, the liquid did not mix with the well water.

Li Ergou didn't know why he thought of eating it, so he opened his mouth and swallowed the liquid.

To his surprise, it was incredibly sweet and delicious, and it felt extremely comfortable in his stomach. He felt like he wasn't in so much pain anymore, and the tearing pain in his heart seemed to be lessened.

It's just that the gourd was so big, how could there only be so little liquid?

He sighed and saw that there were many small gourds floating upwards with the pillar of light underwater.

Most of these gourds were palm-sized, with only a few being about a foot in size. He quickly reached out and grabbed them.

He grabbed randomly, picking the bigger ones to grab.

This time, he grabbed a red gourd, picked it up, and shook it. There was a drop of red liquid inside. Without thinking, he poured it into his mouth. It felt extremely comfortable in his stomach.

At that moment, he didn't know that these things were the essence of heaven and earth, which were very rare.

They were also known as the essence of the five elements. The green one was the essence of wood, which had the effect of bringing the dead back to life and could quickly repair the body. The red one was the essence of fire, which could temper the muscles and bones. The golden one was the essence of metal, which could make the skin more resilient. The black one was the essence of water, which could nourish the internal organs. The yellow one was the essence of earth, which could stabilize the dantian and qi sea.

Li Ergou didn't know that he had accidentally grabbed the largest essence of wood gourd and drank the essence of wood, so his originally fatal injuries were rapidly healing.

He kept grabbing the small gourds that were floating up, regardless of the color of the liquid, and poured them directly into his mouth. A large pile of gourds spewed out of the well, and he intercepted nearly half of them himself. If the people outside knew, they wouldn't know if they would roll their eyes in anger.

Li Ergou never dreamed that he would turn misfortune into a blessing and get this heaven-defying opportunity. Perhaps it was really fate. He had his opportunity stolen, but heaven gave him another chance.

This time, he didn't miss it. He really ate his fill.

Unfortunately, his injuries were too severe. Although various supplements made him more and more awake, he still felt a little dazed.

After all, these things were extraordinary and needed to be refined by the body little by little. Most of them were stored in the skin, flesh, and bones of his body.

Even if his body had absorbed a little bit now, his muscles, bones, skin, internal organs, and dantian began to become more and more solid.

Outside, a palm-sized gourd fell from the Great White Elephant's body. In a daze, the Great White Elephant grabbed it. He held the gourd in front of his eyes and saw a drop of green liquid falling down, landing right in his mouth.

He immediately felt his wounds rapidly recovering. This discovery made him extremely happy.

When his injuries improved, he immediately began to grab the things falling from the sky.
