Eat My Final Strike

But now he had no time to spare checking the condition of his injured left hand, because the Boar Beast was charging at him again.

The charging Boar Beast was fearsome beyond compare, gathering its Spiritual Energy onto its two sharp tusks.

It knew very clearly that the delicate-looking human before it had an extremely fragile body. As long as its two sharp tusks, enhanced with Spiritual Energy, stabbed him even once, the human before it would surely die.

"Hmph...?"

The charging Boar Beast discovered that the delicate-looking human was actually standing motionless in place, which left it somewhat puzzled. Could the opponent have been scared witless by its fierce charge?

"Puff."

Lin Li raised his injured left hand. A faint golden Spiritual Light flashed across his palm, and then a Small Fireball the size of a pigeon's egg appeared there.

Infused with Spiritual Energy, the pigeon-egg-sized Small Fireball in his palm rapidly expanded. In the blink of an eye, it had swelled to the size of an apple.

"Go on..."

Lin Li held the apple-sized Small Fireball in his hand without gripping it, then suddenly swung his left hand and hurled it at the Boar Beast charging rapidly toward him.

"Hmph..."

The Boar Beast now understood why the delicate-looking human had stood still. So the opponent had a trump card.

The Small Fireball, radiating scorching flames, hurtled straight at it. Although the Boar Beast wanted to dodge, it had already built up too much speed in its charge. It was simply too late to evade now.

"Bang."

The Small Fireball slammed squarely into the Boar Beast's forehead. The explosion blasted it into a daze, while the flames spraying outward singed the fur on its back.

"Thud, thud, thud..."

The hurried sound of running feet kept drawing closer. Although the Boar Beast clearly heard those rapid footsteps, the Small Fireball's blow had left its entire head groggy and throbbing with pain, making it unable to open its eyes.

Closing in, Lin Li reached the Boar Beast. He raised his right hand, and the Spirit Artifact Longsword glowing with faint golden Spiritual Light stabbed viciously toward its head.

"Squish."

The Spirit Artifact Longsword pierced into one of the Boar Beast's eyes. Struck by excruciating pain, the heavily wounded beast let out a loud howl and hurriedly shook its head.

This was where a newcomer's lack of experience showed. The Boar Beast suddenly whipped its head violently, and the enormous force it unleashed made Lin Li lose his grip on his Spirit Artifact Longsword.

Letting one's weapon fly free during a battle with an exotic beast was the most unforgivable mistake.

Lin Li knew that he absolutely should not have made such a blunder. He hurriedly retreated, putting some distance between them.

Separated from its owner, the Spirit Artifact Longsword embedded in the Boar Beast's eye socket immediately lost the faint golden Spiritual Light shining from its blade.

"Hmph..." The severely wounded Boar Beast howled in pain without end.

It raised and lowered its head, twisting it left and right as it tried to fling away the Spirit Artifact Longsword deeply lodged in its eye socket.

But Lin Li had put considerable force into that strike. The Spirit Artifact Longsword was jammed firmly in its eye socket.

Blood dripped steadily from the eye socket, falling to the ground and staining the lush green grass with a layer of red.

"Take my final strike."

The Boar Beast, suffering beyond endurance, suddenly heard the heavily wounded human who had injured it let out a mighty shout. It hurriedly looked toward the source of the voice with its one remaining eye.

"Whoosh..."

A soccer-ball-sized fireball appeared in the Boar Beast's eye. There was no need to waste effort judging its power.

That apple-sized Small Fireball had already blasted it into a daze. The fireball before it was several times larger, so its power could be imagined.

The Boar Beast wanted to dodge the huge fireball rushing straight at it, but just as it lifted its right foreleg, its body suddenly went limp, as though it could no longer summon any strength.

It turned out that the Spirit Artifact Longsword lodged in its eye socket had damaged its nerves, leaving its body unable to coordinate its movements.

To suffer such a mishap at this critical moment between life and death—the outcome was obvious.

The fireball radiating searing heat struck the paralyzed Boar Beast directly in the head.

"Rumble..."

The explosion of the fireball produced a deafening boom. A wave of heat spread several meters outward, roasting all the fresh blades of grass on the ground.

"Bang."

Struck head-on by Lin Li's fireball, the Boar Beast toppled onto its side and crashed heavily to the ground with a muffled thud.

It was dead. The Boar Beast, which possessed the strength of a First-Order Peak, had been blasted to death by Lin Li's fireball.

A huge hole had been blown through its head. The wound was charred black and gave off a foul scorched smell.

"Huff..."

Lin Li panted heavily. After that fierce battle with the Boar Beast, both his Spiritual Energy and his physical strength had been greatly depleted.

Keeping his mind taut throughout the fight had also placed enormous psychological pressure on him.

"If I hadn't had the fireball attack as a hidden trump card, then when faced with the Boar Beast's savage charge just now, I could only have fled in disarray to the Mysterious Small Island."

Looking at the Boar Beast that was completely dead, Lin Li muttered inwardly.

That thrilling battle had given Lin Li a deeper understanding of the ferocity of exotic beasts.

"Chirp, chirp, chirp..."

A flock of birds watching the spectacle from afar stared in great surprise at the human who had claimed the final victory.

That fierce Boar Beast was the most powerful exotic beast in this area. They had never expected it to be killed today by this seemingly somewhat frail human. It truly came as a shock to them.

"Squish."

After catching his breath, Lin Li went over to the dead Boar Beast. He grabbed the Spirit Artifact Longsword lodged in its eye socket and pulled hard.

After extracting the Spirit Artifact Longsword, he immediately went to the edge of the muddy pond and used its water to wash the bloodstains from the blade.

Once it was clean, he carefully inspected the Spirit Artifact Longsword. When he found that it was undamaged, Lin Li let out a long sigh of relief.

After all, the Spirit Artifact Longsword had cost Lin Li half his savings. If this battle had ruined it, he might have been so heartbroken that he could not sleep that night.

After confirming that the Spirit Artifact Longsword was undamaged, Lin Li turned to look at the two exotic beast corpses. His face instantly broke into a broad grin.

"Haha, that Rabbit Exotic Beast probably weighs forty or fifty pounds, while that Boar Beast conservatively weighs at least three hundred pounds, right?

"I bought three pounds of Boar Beast meat at the market before and paid three hundred yuan for it. After removing the parts that can't be eaten, these two exotic beast corpses should fetch at least twenty to thirty thousand yuan, right?"

We have to hurry and get these two exotic beast corpses back to the city... Lin Li, who had only thirty yuan left on him, urgently needed money to fill his empty wallet... The feeling of being broke was truly unbearable.
