The Hidden Myth of Ji Dara

"It's charging towards you!"

"Eh!?"

Elder Jiang's eyes almost widened out of its sockets when the massive head of a mammoth with two horns abruptly burst out of the dust and appeared before in from point black range;

"Hmph! You will need to do better than that to get someone like me!"

Elder Jiang floated backwards trying to put a little distance between himself and the charging bull before dipping his hand into his robes and whipping out an axe;

Boom!

His cultivation flared aggressively; 3 Star Dan Formation Stage!

He surged his Qi into the gem located beneath the axe handle which glowed with bright light before bellowing;

"Axe Art; Deforestation Style - Branch Breaker!" Bang!

"Ahk!"

Elder Jiang coughed out a mouthful of blood as he was sent flying over ten meters away, tearing through the forest trees, falling over a dozen in the process before crashing into the ground with a loud bang, which took another mouthful of blood from him…

His vision blurred and his organs shook intensely from the impact of his landing;

Bam!

But his sufferings wasn't without rewards as one of the massive tusks of the mammoth landed beside him;

"Jiang!"

The busty green robed Elder Yin screamed in concern as she rushed over to him;

"I'm alright, let's put him down!"

Elder Jiang wiped off the blood on the corner of his lips before pointing his axe at the winded green furred mammoth, who had also received its share of agony from the impact that took away one of its tusks…

"Hmph!"

Elder Yin's eyes glazed over in rage as she dipped her hands into her robes before exploding with the cultivation of a 3 Star Dan Formation stage!

With a furious pump of her Qi into the gem beneath her whip handle, she bellowed;

"Whip Art; Offensive Style – Scarring Laceration!"

Whoosh!

She sent her whip flying through the air towards the gash which Elder Kang's technique had torn open earlier;

Whappa! Slash!

Splurt!

Frruuunnn!

The attack landed exactly on the long gash, tearing past its exposed muscles to the extent that the bone of the mammoth was even visible as it cried to the heavens in utter agony;

Blood began to pour out of the mammoth as its vision blurred from immense pain…

Instantly, it turned around and made for escape, utterly abandoning its initial motive;

"Pretty wise of you to run…" Elder Kang blurted as he watched the mammoth head straight towards the forest on the side;

"Hmph! Since you have come and have dared to injure my Jiang, then you don't need to leave anymore… Elder Qing!" Elder Yin bellowed with rage;

"Allow us go on the offensive today guys…"

Elder Qing said as she flew forward with a smirk before whipping out a whip of her own, and then exploded with the cultivation of a 2 Star Dan Formation Stage!

"Whip Art; Restriction Style – Python's Coil!"

Whoosh!

The vines bolted forward like a furious serpent before lashing the right hind leg of the mammoth and then crossing on front of it to coil around the left hind leg; with two rapid coils, Elder Qing pulled aggressively, as the mammoth's eyes widened in shock before both of its hind legs smacked into one another, tripping it to a heavy and uncontrollable fall;

"Whip Art; Offensive Style – Lash Barrage!"

Elder Yin didn't even let the mammoth catch its breath before bathing it in several barrages of lashes;

Spurt! Splurt! Splat!

Roar! Groan! Growl!

Fruunnn! 

The mammoth gave different sounds of pain as Elder Yin took its consciousness to the brink of death and back on several occasions, whilst Elder Jiang and Kang blanched in fear warning themselves to never cross her path on get on her ugly side…

In little to no time, the mammoth had been made short work off and was already bleeding through its orifices including its eyes and nostril;

Huss!

It breathed through its weak trunk whilst lying half dead on the ground with the little amount of life left in it ebbing away with the massive amounts of blood streaming out of its innumerable lacerated wounds…

"Hmph!"

Huff! Huff! Huff!

Elder Yin snorted coldly at the dying mammoth whilst huffing and puffing from dishing out more whips than her stamina could carry;

"She seems truly pissed…"

"Yeah… A very strange woman… She won't have me, but will chase everyone woman who comes close to me…"

"Yeah, and she also seems to like avenging you too…"

Elder Kang and Jiang chatted with one another whilst looking at the two ladies who were heaving and puffing creating a very pleasing sigh to their eyes, especially Elder Yun whose massive kegs were stretching her robes past their limits and threatening to burst free with every deep heave she took…

"Jiang are you alright?"

Elder Yin walked over twisting and roiling everything in sight as Elder Jiang exaggerated his injury and spit out a mouthful of fresh blood;

"I'm sorry Yin, I had to hold my injuries at bay should in case you both needed help…"

The mischievous Elder Jiang said as Elder Yin' expression turned into a deeply caring one, before approaching him as she placed on of his hands over her shoulder before looking towards the other two;

"Elder Kang, Jiang needs urgent treatment, so I will be leaving with him first…"

She said before leaving with the bald Elder Jiang whilst Elder Qing walked over to Elder Kang;

"I don't know why she cares about him so much…" She said with a slight smile;

"Well, according to the Sect leader, they knew already knew each other long before they came into the sect, back when she was still an orphan…"

"Apparently, back then, Elder Jiang was a butcher who always took good care of her, and despite their contrasting appearance, their ages difference isn't too great…"

"So, they developed feeling for one another unh?" Elder Qing guessed the latter part of the story;

"Yeah… But apparently, Elder Jiang's mischievous nature repulses her a lot, but despite all that, she would still lay her life for him if the time ever comes…"

"You seem to know a lot about them…" Elder Qing teased with a flutter of her eyelashes;

"Eh? Uhm… The Sect Leader has always insisted that we once a group of individuals knew some personal things about one another, it improves not only the teamwork, but the physical relationship amongst them, which in turn makes the group yield better success than normal…"

"Don't worry you're still new, but you will understand in due time…" Elder Kang explained with a slight smile…
