Battle with the Wild Boar Demon

Zhang You watched the black shadow descend from the sky and immediately retreated at high speed.

"Rumble!"

Dust flew everywhere, leaving only a blurry black silhouette visible.

"Snort! Snort! Snort!"

The shadow was enormous, breathing through its nose with heavy snorts.

Once the dust settled, Zhang You made out its appearance by moonlight.

It was actually a wild boar!

But it stood three meters tall and six meters long, with two-meter tusks that glinted coldly.

Its eyes held a restrained gleam, clearly showing that it had developed intelligence and become a boar demon!

Zhang You recalled the Wild Boar Demon that had often been mentioned around the city these past two days.

He had heard that the Demon Suppression Division had already organized men to kill it. Yet the Wild Boar Demon was not only thick-skinned and tough-fleshed, but also sly and treacherous, skilled at ambushes and unmatched at slipping away.

Over the past few days, he had heard that several people had already died at its hands.

It seemed his commotion had been too great and awakened the Wild Boar Demon resting nearby.

But this time, he had guessed wrong!

The Wild Boar Demon had been awakened by the stink. Then, drawn by the blood qi radiating from him, it had followed the scent here!

At that moment, the Wild Boar Demon stared sharply at Zhang You, saliva already dripping from the corners of its mouth.

Zhang You spat at the Wild Boar Demon. The blood qi throughout his body surged, and his gaze turned cold and sinister.

That was right—he wanted to smash this stupid pig before him to pieces!

Though the boar's aura was powerful, it was far inferior to Shopkeeper Li's.

So he wanted to test his own strength!

The rage that Shopkeeper Li and the others had suppressed for days instantly erupted.

"Come die for your grandpa!"

Without waiting for the Wild Boar Demon to make a move, Zhang You leaped up first and swung a fist at its head.

The Wild Boar Demon froze for a moment, then instantly came to its senses. Its eyes turned vicious as it roared and drove its tusks toward Zhang You!

After repeatedly tempering his body, Zhang You's senses and reactions had become exceptionally sharp.

When he saw the tusks flying toward him in midair, he kicked off them, borrowing the force to leap high again. Closing in on the boar's head once more, he drew a massive amount of blood qi into his right fist. A layer of red light even appeared around its edge, dazzlingly brilliant.

"Thud!"

The punch that had been aimed at its eye was dodged when the Wild Boar Demon twisted its head at the last moment, landing squarely on its face instead!

Zhang You deeply experienced the fact that every force had an equal and opposite reaction!

The tremendous recoil sent him flying backward, snapping several trees along the way.

As for the Wild Boar Demon, its head snapped to one side. Though its hide had not been broken, the fierce impact penetrated through its facial flesh and directly into its skull.

Its head spun, its mind went hazy, and it staggered unsteadily, its massive body on the verge of collapse.

Clearly, this Wild Boar Demon had weathered many battles. Its eyes quickly regained their clarity, and it steadied itself.

After snorting twice, it charged recklessly toward where Zhang You had fallen!

You could beat a pig, but never strike its face!

It was furious now. It only wanted to gore the ant that had injured it to death, then tear him apart and devour him viciously, until he finally became nourishment for the earth.

Zhang You saw trees ahead being shattered like dry weeds and rotten wood, accompanied by deafening thunderous crashes that drew closer and closer.

Recovering himself, he stared at the tusks thrusting straight toward him and circulated his blood qi again. Soon, a faint red aura rose around his entire body, making him look like a Saiyan.

Then he grabbed the tusks with both hands!

A huge pit was left where he had stood. Trees fell in swathes around him, while dust and smoke scattered in every direction.

"Up you go!"

Zhang You gritted his teeth and exerted force again, directly lifting the Wild Boar Demon's enormous body into the air!

To be honest, even he was badly startled. He had not expected himself to be this ferocious now!

This human was actually stronger than it was!

The instant the Wild Boar Demon was lifted, its violent emotions vanished like smoke and clouds. A chill shot from the soles of its four hooves straight to the crown of its head!

It now realized that this seemingly ordinary human was simply a pig pretending to eat a tiger!

The Wild Boar Demon was scared out of its wits. Its four hooves flailed wildly as it tried to break free of Zhang You's grasp.

But it was clearly futile!

It could already imagine its fate: being skinned and stripped of sinews alive!

When dealing with prey, if it found someone weaker than itself, then sorry, they were its food. If it found someone troublesome, it would exchange a few token moves before immediately fleeing.

Coupled with its peerless ability to escape for its life, that was how it had survived until now.

To put it bluntly, it bullied the weak and feared the strong, always hiding away when it could.

It had been having a beautiful dream tonight when a life-threatening stench poisoned it awake.

Later, it sensed the rich blood qi here. Upon approaching, it had found an ordinary person with no cultivation.

Then sorry, was it not perfectly reasonable to eat him?

Yet it had never expected that cultivators at the sixth or seventh level of the Qi Refining Realm, who normally were not even enough to fill the gaps between its teeth, would pale beside this ordinary human, who was nearly tearing it apart alive!

This bastard was an unimaginably hard iron plate.

"Ooooh..."

The more the Wild Boar Demon thought about it, the more terrified it became. It directly lost control of its bowels and bladder, letting out a heart-rending howl!

Zhang You had been feeling quite pleased with himself, thinking that he had finally gained a shred of ability to protect himself.

Suddenly, a foul stench reached him. Then the Wild Boar Demon opened its mouth and roared, sending a wave of rotten odor straight at his face!

"Damn it!"

He cursed under his breath, wrenched hard, then kicked the Wild Boar Demon flying. Covering his nose, he quickly retreated.

The Wild Boar Demon felt happiness descend too suddenly. Ignoring its torn-out tusks and the seas churning and rivers overturning in its stomach, it bolted away on all four legs.

Holding the two tusks, Zhang You watched the Wild Boar Demon flee and silently cursed his miscalculation.

He hurriedly chased after it in the direction it had gone.

But the Wild Boar Demon seemed to possess some kind of escape art and had already vanished without a trace!

He had not expected this demon to be so greedy for life and afraid of death, with no dignity whatsoever!

He could sense that the Wild Boar Demon could provide a considerable amount of blue-white qi. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became.

He directly snapped the two tusks in his hands into several pieces and threw them to the ground.

After repeatedly confirming that there was no trace of it left, he returned to the city by the original route.

Not long after he left, Old Daoist arrived from afar. Holding the broken sections of tusk in his hand, he stared in surprise at the devastation covering the ground.

"Who was so ferocious as to severely injure a sixth-level Qi Refining Realm Wild Boar Demon? Judging by the looks of it, they must have surpassed the seventh level of the Qi Refining Realm!"

After sighing in admiration, he headed toward Xiaolin City.

When he reached the city walls, he tore apart a talisman paper in his hand.

Before long, a side gate opened, and an official came out to escort Old Daoist inside.

It was already past midnight, and most people had extinguished their lamps and gone to sleep.

Zhang You moved cautiously. Just as he was about to leave Orchid Alley in the east of the city, he seemed to sense something and stopped.

Holding his breath, he quietly peered outside and discovered a black shadow leaping several times before entering the nearby Tang Family Grand Estate.

By the moonlight, he had already seen the man's face. It was actually Pang Biao of the Demon Suppression Division.

One of the diners preparing to eat him.

Just as he was about to step out, another person arrived behind him.

It was actually Shopkeeper Li.

Shopkeeper Li also entered that estate.

"How lively!"

At the same time, beneath the tombstone on Mass Grave Hill that Zhang You had left stained with handprints, a Yin Soul drifted out and followed in the direction Zhang You had gone!
