Chapter 94: Chapter 94: Mutant Beast Hyena Pig

"What’s wrong here? It just smells a bit bad, worse than a pigsty."

Mei Weixuan cursed while covering his nose.

The next moment, Jing Yan’s face changed dramatically, and he exclaimed, "Warthog, there’s a mutant beast warthog here."

Jing Yan’s sudden shout startled Mei Weixuan as well. He turned his head and scolded, "What kind of joke is this? This is the county, how could there be a mutant beast?"

What are mutant beasts?

They are transcendent life forms, each one comparable to an Upper Third Grades Martial Artist, with extremely destructive power.

You might say there could be some in the wild, but this is inside Tianyang County. How could a mutant beast appear here?

Jing Yan, forcibly suppressing the shock in his heart, quickly said, "From the moment I entered, I noticed something off about the smell. It was overwhelmingly foul and felt familiar, but I couldn’t immediately place it. Now that I think of it, this is clearly the scent of mutant beast warthog dung. I encountered one at Ironstone Cliff before; it’s exactly this smell. Senior brother, let’s get out of here, quickly."

Hum hum hum!

A series of dull grunts suddenly sounded, followed by a booming crash as the left wall suddenly collapsed. A massive black figure then charged forward, like a truck ramming through.

The two Guard Team members closest by didn’t have time to react, and were immediately crushed into mushy pulp and flung heavily away.

It was then that everyone saw what this black figure was: it was undoubtedly a giant wild boar.

A wild boar the size of a carriage.

Completely pitch-black, its skin seemed to have a black shell covered in scales, with two fleshy horns protruding from its head. Its wide mouth housed giant tusks extending from the corners, gleaming with a bloody glow like two swords.

Its eyes were blood-red, the muscles beneath its scales bulging like steel plates, eliciting explosive cracks whenever flexed.

Mutant beast warthog.

Hum hum hum!

The warthog grunted soundly, its demonic presence intimidating, swift as a leopard, with great length and strength in its muscles.

After ramming two Guard Team members to death, it issued a series of grunts again, transforming into a black blur as it charged at Zhong Lin.

"Watch out."

Jing Yan screamed in alarm.

Zhong Lin’s heart pounded violently as a wave of deathly fear swept over him.

With his Qi-Blood surging within, the muscles in his legs swelled instantly under his robe, propelling him forward like a swift arrow, moving with the wind.

Splat!

Zhong Lin’s shoulder garment was slashed by one of the warthog’s tusks, leaving a long bloody scar. Had he not dodged so quickly, his head might have been pierced, leading to certain death.

"Wind and Thunder Slash."

His longsword unsheathed, a wave of Blood Evil Qi burst from Zhong Lin, transforming into a stream of light striking at the warthog.

Whoosh!

Accompanied by the warthog’s shrill cry, a long bloody welt appeared on the beast’s body in an instant.

However, Zhong Lin’s expression remained extremely solemn because he felt this strike was akin to cutting through soaked leather, with the blade only penetrating three inches of flesh before being tightly blocked.

In other words, this strike was merely a superficial wound to the beast.

The warthog’s eyes turned crimson, and its massive body, ignoring inertia, suddenly stopped in place. It turned around and charged at Zhong Lin again.

Bang!

This time, Zhong Lin was hit squarely, sent flying straight and hard into a nearby rockery, which collapsed under the force.

Zhong Lin felt as if he’d been struck by a dump truck yet again, his entire body aching painfully, as if his bones had disintegrated.

"Wow!"

A mouthful of fresh blood spurted from Zhong Lin’s lips, and upon its expulsion, his body felt slightly more at ease.

The fierce battle between man and pig seemed prolonged, yet it all transpired in the blink of an eye. It wasn’t until Zhong Lin was sent flying that everyone reacted.

"Form up."

Guard Captain Xing Kui roared, and all the Guard Team members quickly gathered, tightly surrounding Zhong Lin in the center, weapons facing outward in the most common circular formation.

Zhong Lin slowly crawled up from the ground. Meanwhile, he took out a Healing Pill from his bosom and swallowed it, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth with lingering fear.

Thankfully, his recent cultivation of the ’Golden Muscle and Jade Bone Skill,’ while his bones hadn’t fully transformed to ’Jade Bone,’ had significantly enhanced his durability. Otherwise, that earlier collision would have shattered half of his bones. As it stood, the pain was intense, and some areas were dislocated, but it wasn’t too serious.

Most importantly, Zhong Lin realized that this mutant beast wasn’t as formidable as he had imagined.

This was Zhong Lin’s first close contact with a mutant beast, but last time at the Heavenly Eagle Castle, even hundreds of meters away, he had been oppressed by the presence of a mutant giant eagle. The pig in front of him paled in comparison to that eagle, like comparing a person with a child.

Right.

Just like a child.

Zhong Lin’s eyes lit up. He turned to Jing Yan and asked loudly, "Jing Yan, the warthog you saw last time, how big was it? Was it this big?"

"Bigger, at least twice the size of this one."

Jing Yan also realized something, exclaiming in surprise, "This warthog mutant beast is still immature?"

Not just immature.

Jing Yan spoke without thinking in his panic, but one thing was clear: this warthog was still in its juvenile phase. Otherwise, its body wouldn’t be this small, and Zhong Lin wouldn’t have survived with merely intense pain and no broken bones.

A mature warthog mutant beast would be comparable to an Upper Third Grades Martial Artist, and Zhong Lin would not have survived a single strike from it.

Mei Weixuan’s face also showed a look of pleasant surprise: "I didn’t expect it to be a juvenile mutant beast. Can’t beat the big ones, and can’t beat the small ones either? Today I’m going to be a pig butcher."

"With a single swing of sword energy that shakes all directions, five and twenty sword forces strengthen the rivers and mountains."

Mei Weixuan leapt, drawing his longsword. As he swung, it was like ink strokes in a landscape painting, his form graceful like a fluttering butterfly, incredibly precise.

His target was the warthog mutant beast’s eyes.

The warthog snorted out a dense white vapor from between its mouth and nose, and instead of retreating, it advanced, its four limbs leaping as it charged at Mei Weixuan airborne.

Clang, clang, clang!

Its tusks clashed with the longsword, producing the sound of fine iron ringing together.

Keep in mind, Mei Weixuan’s sword was a treasure sword of fine steel, invaluable, and capable of channeling Qi-Blood. Yet, it seemed slightly inferior to the warthog’s tusks.

"Blood Battle Three Forms."

Gu Yourong also drew a purple soft sword from her waist. This soft sword was a divine weapon capable of Cutting Gold and Breaking Jade. In her hand, it exuded a mysterious purple, emitting streaks of blood light.

The soft sword bypassed the warthog’s sharp tusks, and like a phoenix nodding, the sword tip shot towards the warthog’s eyes.

Swish!

At this moment, the warthog, being airborne, had nowhere to exert force. With a splash of blood in the air, it emitted a cry of agony, its eyes directly pierced blind.
