The Leopard Beast had just dodged the attack from the Cyan Wind Blade. Before it could even breathe a sigh of relief, it found the blade had abruptly changed direction and was flying at it once more.
This sudden turn of events made it impossible to dodge in time.
"SHLICK."
The menacingly sharp Cyan Wind Blade struck the Leopard Beast’s back, slicing open a wound so deep its bone was visible.
Blood instantly gushed from the wound, dyeing the Leopard Beast’s beautiful spotted fur completely red.
"THUD."
Having suffered a devastating blow to its back, the Leopard Beast collapsed. Its forward momentum sent it sliding several meters across the ground before it came to a stop.
"ROAR..." A painful roar escaped its maw. The Leopard Beast tried to climb to its feet, but just as its limbs tensed, several more ear-piercing whooshes cut through the air.
"WHOOSH..."
It turned its head, and its eyes fell upon three menacing Cyan Wind Blades. At this sight, the Leopard Beast’s pupils contracted, its heart flooding with terror.
It wanted to dodge, but its body was in no condition to perform any evasive maneuvers. It could only watch helplessly as the incoming Cyan Wind Blades slammed into it.
The neck, the shoulder, the abdomen—after taking a Cyan Wind Blade to each, the Leopard Beast collapsed heavily.
Combined with the bone-deep gash on its back, all four wounds gushed blood uncontrollably. With such grievous injuries, it had completely lost any hope of resisting Lin Li.
"ROAR... whimmmper..."
A mournful cry escaped its mouth, its eyes filled with terror. The Leopard Beast watched its enemy approach step by step and stop before it. It whimpered, fearfully begging for mercy, hoping this being would show compassion and spare its life.
"..." Lin Li calmly watched the heavily injured Leopard Beast on the ground as it pleaded for its life. After a few seconds of silence, he raised his right hand and thrust the Spiritual Longsword forward.
"SHLICK."
The Spiritual Longsword, glowing with a faint golden Spiritual Light, easily pierced the gravely wounded Leopard Beast’s head, killing it instantly.
"You tried to hunt me, and I killed you in return. It’s only fair," Lin Li muttered to himself, pulling the Spiritual Longsword from the Leopard Beast’s skull.
He crouched down, about to reach out and store his prize in the Mysterious Small Island, when the ground began to shake. A behemoth appeared in the distance, charging rapidly in his direction.
"ROAR..."
A deafening roar shattered the air. Lin Li instinctively looked toward the sound, and his expression changed the moment he saw what was making it.
The behemoth charging toward him was none other than the giant Wild Boar Beast, a creature at the Peak of Tier Two.
This Mutant Beast had broken free from the Investigators and Exotic Beast Hunters who had surrounded it, fleeing desperately into the depths of the wilderness.
Once it had escaped the danger, the heavily wounded giant Wild Boar Beast slowed its pace. It found a place nearby to lie down and rest, recovering the stamina and Spiritual Energy it had expended in the great battle.
But just as it was resting, it suddenly heard the agonized roar of another beast in the distance.
The sound immediately caught the giant Wild Boar Beast’s attention. It heaved itself up and went to investigate.
From a distance, the giant Wild Boar Beast’s Perception picked up two Spiritual Energy Waves. When it saw that one of the figures emitting the waves was a detestable human, the memory of being surrounded and attacked flashed before its eyes, and rage surged within it.
Without a second thought, the giant Wild Boar Beast—a creature the size of an adult elephant—decided it would kill this weaker human to vent its rage.
Although it was heavily injured, the giant Wild Boar Beast was still a Mutant Beast at the Peak of Tier Two.
Even in its injured state, its overall combat strength was still greater than that of Lin Li, who was only at the Second Order High Rank.
In a one-on-one duel, Lin Li would have a very difficult time defeating the giant Wild Boar Beast.
"HUUUFF..."
The giant Wild Boar Beast exhaled a bone-chillingly cold breath. The surrounding temperature plummeted as dozens of sharp icicles instantly condensed before it, refracting the sunlight with a dazzling gleam.
Lin Li could also use his Superpower to create icicles, but he couldn’t produce so many with the same ease as the giant Wild Boar Beast.
"WHOOSH..."
A dense barrage of icicles shot toward Lin Li. In the giant Wild Boar Beast’s eyes, Lin Li looked as if he had been scared stiff. He just stood there, motionless, watching the volley of icicles fly toward him.
"BOOM..."
The volley of icicles, which covered several dozen square meters, didn’t turn the petrified enemy into a Hedgehog as the giant Wild Boar Beast expected.
Because just as the icicles were about to strike the petrified enemy, he suddenly vanished from its sight.
"???"
The giant Wild Boar Beast was utterly confused. It stood in place, staring at the spot where Lin Li had vanished.
A pool of blood remained on the ground—all of it from the Leopard Beast.
It spread its Perception, scanning the area, but detected no Spiritual Energy Waves. The detestable human had truly vanished from right under its nose.
"ROAR..." Failing to kill the detestable human, the giant Wild Boar Beast let out a furious roar and stomped the ground with all its might.
"STOMP, STOMP, STOMP..."
The earth trembled violently from the giant Wild Boar Beast’s stomping. The flourishing trees nearby met a disastrous end, all of them toppled by the creature’s rampage.
