Chapter 196 - Mighty Mountain PigsAt the same time that Xiang Tian descended into Binzhou City, Xiang Yun and Luo He had already advanced a thousand miles to the southeast once again.
On this day, the two of them encountered a quite difficult commander-level cloud beast. Normally, whenever they met this type of beast, the two of them would choose to quietly avoid it to avoid unnecessary trouble.
But today, their luck was not so good. They did not have the chance to dodge, and could only stop and face it head on!
Standing in front of the two of them was a monster with a body as large as a cow"s. It was brown in color and had a huge pair of fangs that was about a foot long. It looked like a giant wild boar!This was a genuine beginner level commander-level cloud beast, "Mang Shan". The latter was born with astonishing physical strength, and his temperament was bloodthirsty and brutal. His pair of thick fangs were tough and sharp, even sharper than a G.o.dly weapon!
This was his first time facing a Cloud Beast head on. Even though it was only a Primary Level Warrior, Xiang Yun still felt a little nervous.The latter"s strength was equivalent to an early stage human Huang Yun, or even a little stronger. Their strength and aura far surpa.s.sed that of the Seven Cloud Martial Cultivators.
When they were rushing through the woods, the boar had just ran out of a bush. They had run into each other and had been startled.After he had missed his target, the boar beast immediately turned around and looked at the two of them. Greed appeared in its huge eyes.
This Mang Shan beast felt quite happy. It was supposed to go out to hunt for food early in the morning, but as soon as it came out of the cave, it b.u.mped into two big prey.
Xiang Yun, on the other hand, felt depressed. He hadn"t expected that he would run into this fellow not long after departing today. With a single glance, he could tell that it wasn"t a kind-hearted fellow.
Only Luo He not only didn"t reveal a surprised expression when she saw this Mang Shan animal, but instead secretly laughed at the side with a "successful plot" expression.
Xiang Yun did not know that this Mang Shan was actually someone who had already been designed for him. It was a "Sword-grinding Stone" that was used to sharpen his Dao of the Sword!
"Brother Wei, what should we do now? We"re being watched by this Mang Shan animal. It"s not slow, so it"ll probably be difficult to escape."
Luo He revealed a worried expression. Her meaning was obvious. If they were to encounter this Mang Shan animal, it would be difficult for them to escape.
Hearing this, Xiang Yun"s expression became a little ugly. He looked at the restless boar and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Hmph, then let"s not run. I"d like to see what the abilities of a pig are!"After a few days of studying the sword techniques and Luo He"s guidance, Xiang Yun had become more and more familiar with them, mastering each and every one of them in his heart.
When facing opponents, one would often have the good fortune to take advantage of the situation and launch an attack, completely breaking the original sword style.
This not only made Xiang Yun"s sword move even faster, it also caused his strength to increase greatly. This caused Xiang Yun"s confidence to soar.
Actually, he had wanted to find a soldier level cloud beast to train with. Now that he had run into this boar, he had no intention of running away.
Xiang Yun immediately took out the Wandering Dragon Sword from his backpack. With a flick of his sword, he threw the backpack onto the gra.s.s behind him and turned to speak to Luo He.
"Brother Luo He, wait here. See how I"ll deal with this fellow!"
Having said that, Xiang Yun turned around elegantly, raised the Wandering Dragon Sword, and was about to walk towards the boar at Mang Shan!
However, just as Xiang Yun turned around, a gust of b.l.o.o.d.y wind blew over him, a huge brownish-red figure that was like a comet a.s.saulting the moon, charging towards him!
In just a split-second, that Mang Shan beast had arrived in front of him. Its two sharp fangs were like two spears, rushing towards him."Holy sh * t!"
Xiang Yun had not expected that this Mang Shan was so unscrupulous. When he had been wielding his sword, this fellow had already launched its attack.
At this moment, he didn"t have enough time to use any mysterious method, and could only roll on the ground in a sorry state, barely dodging the attack of the boar beast.
While he was rolling, he caught a glimpse of the Mang Shan pig"s body that had just brushed past him. The longsword in Xiang Yun"s hand suddenly stretched forward like a poisonous spike, the blade slashing towards the pig"s torso!"Clang clang clang!"
The moment the sword"s edge made contact with the animal"s body, there was a clanging sound of metal clashing. A ma.s.s of sparks burst forth as Xiang Yun"s Wandering Dragon Sword shuddered and almost flew out of his hand!
Xiang Yun"s heart skipped a beat as he abruptly gripped the hilt of his sword tightly. With a push on the ground with one hand, his body leapt up and landed on the ground.Before he could turn around, Xiang Yun could already sense a tremendous movement from behind him. Needless to say, this wild mountain boar had already launched another attack!
Without the slightest hesitation, Xiang Yun immediately used the Movement Technique of Hundred Transformations. His body abruptly turned, directly facing the boar on Mang Shan"s mountain, but he quickly retreated!
This soldier level cloud beast was indeed extraordinary. Although the latter was enormous, its four hooves were wrapped in four streams of tyrannical cloud energy.
It was as if there was nitrogen gas on the surface of an armoured vehicle. The speed of the nitrogen gas was simply too fast for the onlookers to take in!Xiang Yun had already expected this, so he did not panic at all. Facing the charge of this Mang Shan, the latter did not hesitate to use the Hundred Transformations Steps. His body swayed as he retreated at an extremely high speed!
Seeing its prey swaying in front of it, the boar beast was unable to get close to it easily. The boar was instantly infuriated and its four hooves unleashed an even more powerful force!
Then, his body leaped into the air and pierced toward Xiang Yun"s chest like an arrow, turning its fangs upside down!
Faced with the suddenly leaping boar, Xiang Yun felt joy in his heart. His feet abruptly sped up as he retreated, maintaining the same distance with the boar that filled the entire mountain.At the same time, the Wandering Dragon Sword in his hand turned into a whirlwind and quickly thrust forward!
"Ding ding ding!"
The Wandering Dragon Sword turned invisible in an instant. The head of the boar, Mang Shan and the others felt as if their heads were being smashed by a storm. Countless sword lights came crashing down on them, taking care of the boar at the same time!
As the Mang Mountain boar fell to the ground in pain, roaring angrily, Xiang Yun"s body flickered. In an instant, he borrowed the strength of a huge boulder behind him to escape the attack range of the Mang Mountain boar.
"Roar!"A low, furious roar resounded through the forest. The Mang Mountain animal suddenly turned around and glared at Xiang Yun!
Xiang Yun also looked at this person, but when he looked at him, his heart was filled with shock!
"How is this possible!"
When Xiang Yun had swung his sword like a torrential downpour earlier, he had thought that it would deal some serious damage to the boar in Mang Shan. However, it was only when the boar in Mang Shan had turned around that Xiang Yun had been able to see it clearly.
There were only dozens of red dots on the latter"s dark-red, hideous face. Not even a drop of blood flowed out. The latter"s skin was actually so tough.
However, Xiang Yun"s attack was not completely useless. At the very least, he had successfully angered this vicious beast. The latter"s originally jet-black eyes were now completely bloodshot, and its breathing had become unusually heavy!
It stared at Xiang Yun with a pair of blood-red eyes, its hind legs continuously digging at the soil and snow on the ground. It set off waves of earth, as though it was prepared to charge forward at any moment!
"Brother Wei, you have to be careful. The book says that although this Mang Shan is nothing and has a powerful killing ability, its skin and flesh is abnormally tough. Normal weapons cannot hurt it at all."
"You have to find his weakness to make a move, otherwise not only will you be unable to harm it, but you will also stimulate its beastly nature, making it even harder to deal with!"Luo He did her duty as a spectator and did not forget to remind Qin Lie.
Xiang Yun seemed to have also sensed that something was wrong. Hearing this, he anxiously asked, "Where is its weakness?"
"I don"t know either!" Luo He answered without hesitation!
"Me!"
Before Xiang Yun could say anything, the ground in front of him suddenly shook. A heaven-shaking, earth-shattering howl resounded, accompanied by a domineering aura as it charged straight at him!
This time around, the Mang Shan b.a.s.t.a.r.d seemed to be even faster and more powerful. It appeared that Xiang Yun had already completely activated the blood and Qi of this Cloud Beast. At this moment, its strength had once again increased explosively!
Xiang Yun did not dare to face this savage beast that looked like an armoured vehicle. The latter glanced behind him out of the corner of his eyes and was instantly moved.
Shi Mu retreated quickly once again. However, he was about to reach the boar in front of him.
Xiang Yun suddenly stabbed out with his sword, striking this pig in the forehead and producing a resounding sound!
Immediately after, Xiang Yun"s arm shook violently. The beast did not stop, sliding backwards against the force of Xiang Yun"s Wandering Dragon Sword!
Xiang Yun forcefully resisted the numbness in his arm, the pain from his palm splitting apart as he calculated the distance in his heart.
Seeing that he had already glided more than ten meters away, he suddenly stomped on the ground, extending his other foot forward and stepping on the head of the Mang Shan"s wild beast. His body soared into the air like a flying bird!
The latter made a somersault in the air before suddenly turning around to hug the huge tree trunk behind her.Xiang Yun"s gaze fell down, just in time to see that enormous being unable to stop its momentum. It slammed head first into a thick tree trunk!
"Boom!"
He had thought that the beast would be sent flying. He had never expected that a loud thud could be heard when it crashed into the tree. The tree trembled and half of its trunk had been broken off. The tree was on the verge of collapse!
"Roar!"
The Mang Shan pig"s head suddenly collided with the enormous tree trunk. The Mang Shan pig felt a little dizzy. However, its wild nature did not decrease in the slightest!
The latter"s huge head suddenly swayed, and the sharp fangs of the blade suddenly swept across like a knife cutting tofu. The thick tree trunk that was encircled by those few people was actually directly cut in half by the fangs!At this moment, Xiang Yun, who had witnessed all of this from the top of a large tree, had a glint flash across his eyes. Along with the collapse of the large tree, his body suddenly became like a gecko swimming in the wall as he quickly rushed down from the toppled tree trunk!
The latter used the huge sound produced when the big tree collapsed to cover up the sound of their footsteps flying.
In almost an instant, he had already rushed forward. He was only about ten feet away from the boar. At this moment, the trunk of the tree had fallen down, almost parallel to the ground!
Xiang Yun"s legs abruptly exerted force as he stomped on the tree trunk, his body shooting downwards like an arrow.
The longsword in his hand swept out like a raging wind, causing the fallen leaves that filled the sky to form a giant storm. In the air, Xiang Yun"s body instantly condensed and charged towards the wild mountain animal, enveloping it!
"Roar!"
At this moment, the boar in Mang Shan must have also felt the great danger coming from above his head.
It raised its head and saw the sky full of dark green leaves and falling snow, but it did not see that human!
Mang Shan"s eyes were blank for a moment. The next moment, he was engulfed by the storm. Suddenly, a burst of sound came from the forest, followed by the miserable wails of the wild beast."Howl!"
When the storm formed by the fallen leaves completely engulfed the huge body of the animal, a loud noise was heard.
An ear-piercing sound rang out like a grinding wheel grinding through metal. It was accompanied by a cloud of hard ice and dust that flew in all directions. There were speckles of bright red blood that formed a spiral arc in the wind!
