Elephants have thick, tough hides; ordinary weapons can hardly injure them.
Therefore, these elephant riders believed their charge could solve all problems.
However, their belief was based on their past experiences.
When they actually clashed with Lin Tian's army, the situation was completely different from what they had imagined.
Among Lin Tian's army, Lin Tian himself was at the forefront of the charge.
Furthermore, the main targets of the elephant riders were also Lin Tian.
Thus, within a few breaths, more than a dozen elephant riders appeared around Lin Tian.
The arrival of these elephant riders was undoubtedly terrifying.
If it were anyone else surrounded by so many elephant riders, they would surely have been doomed.
At this moment, the elephant riders also believed that Lin Tian was bound to die.
However, the reality was completely different from their assumptions.
Lin Tian faced their elephant cavalry without any fear.
He even managed a slight smile at this moment.
"I've long wanted to experience what it's like to face such elephant cavalry!"
"Let me test how strong these elephant riders truly are!!"
With that said, Lin Tian leaped into the sky and charged towards an elephant.
He then landed beside the elephant's thigh.
This action caused the elephant riders to rejoice.
"Trample him! Quick, trample him!"
"Hahaha! He's seeking his own death! He's completely walking into his own doom. Since he's looking for death, he can't blame us. Quickly finish him off!"
Lin Tian reaching the elephant's foot was the best attacking opportunity for the elephant.
As long as the elephant lifted its leg, it could easily crush Lin Tian.
Because of this, the other elephant riders immediately told this elephant rider to trample Lin Tian.
And this elephant rider indeed had the same intention.
However, before he could even lift his elephant's leg to trample Lin Tian, Lin Tian had already grabbed the elephant's leg.
Then, Lin Tian performed an action that astonished everyone.
He held the elephant's leg and bent it with force.
From his posture, it looked as if he intended to break the elephant's leg.
Such an action was somewhat perplexing.
But what happened next made everyone from the Peacock Kingdom widen their eyes.
In their sight, the elephant's leg that Lin Tian was holding was indeed bent.
This bend was not a natural one; it looked more like the kind of bend caused by a bone breaking.
Immediately after, the elephant's pained roar echoed in everyone's ears.
"Roar!"
The elephant, in pain, tried to lift its thigh.
But at this moment, Lin Tian exerted even more force.
"Crack!"
The sound of bones breaking was clearly heard.
Everyone even saw the elephant's thigh bone pierce through its own leg.
Then, they watched as the giant elephant began to fall in the direction Lin Tian had bent its leg.
Although the elephant still had three legs, its remaining three legs clearly could not support its weight.
"Thud!"
The heavy sound of its landing was clearly transmitted to everyone's ears.
Holding the elephant's leg, Lin Tian seemed to have used minimal force to topple the elephant.
Yet, at this moment, Lin Tian had no external leverage and used no such means.
He had toppled the elephant purely through his own immense strength.
Such a display undoubtedly left everyone from the Peacock Kingdom speechless with shock.
"This, how is this possible? Am I seeing things? He, alone, brought down our elephant??"
"What kind of monster is this? Why does he have such immense strength? Is he even human??"
"This, this... could it be a god descending? Are these the methods of a god??"
Lin Tian's actions were simply unbelievable to them.
Having witnessed everything with their own eyes, they even believed Lin Tian to be a legendary deity.
This instantly instilled fear in their hearts.
Although they considered themselves nobles, they were still far inferior to a legendary deity.
Faced with a deity, they could only prostrate themselves.
At this moment, they felt an urge to kneel and submit.
However, Lin Tian paid no mind to their thoughts.
After testing the elephant's strength, he directly picked up his precious sword and charged towards the elephant riders.
Of course, his primary target was not the elephants, but the elephant riders on their backs.
To him, killing elephants was somewhat troublesome, but killing elephant riders was very simple.
With a single leap, Lin Tian landed on the back of an elephant and, with one sword strike, dispatched the elephant rider.
Then, with another leap, Lin Tian appeared on another elephant.
Again, with just one sword strike, another elephant rider was easily killed.
It felt as simple as killing a chicken.
More importantly, the elephants beneath the elephant riders could not inflict any significant damage on Lin Tian.
They couldn't even track Lin Tian's movements.
This was undoubtedly terrifying for the other elephant riders.
Especially since Lin Tian did not stop after killing one, but continued to the next.
This caused many to lose their nerve.
"You, don't come near me, don't charge at me!"
"No, no, I don't want to die, I don't want to die! I am a noble, I cannot die here, I cannot die at the hands of commoners!"
"Let me down, quickly let me down, I want to leave, I want to leave now!"
Many among them lost their composure. They whipped their elephants, signaling them to crouch down and let them dismount.
They wanted to get off the elephants and flee the scene.
Another group directly ordered their elephants to turn around and take them away from a different direction.
Even if this meant trampling their own Peacock Kingdom soldiers,
these elephant riders could no longer afford to care about such things in their desperation to survive.
However, once Lin Tian began his killing spree, escape was impossible.
Amidst flashing blades and sword light, a large number of elephant riders were directly killed.
Even those who were not killed directly were surrounded by Lin Tian's army.
Then, agile soldiers climbed onto their elephants and beheaded them.
It was as easy as a monkey climbing a tree to pick peaches.
As for the infantry of the Peacock Kingdom, they fared even worse.
They couldn't withstand even a single charge from Lin Tian's army.
With just one assault, all of them were annihilated.
Some Peacock Kingdom citizens who witnessed this scene trembled all over in fear.
To them, the elephant cavalry was already the most terrifying existence in the world.
Now that Lin Tian's army had so easily destroyed the elephant cavalry, their might was unimaginable.
