Unable to dodge the attack, the giant Wild Boar Beast took Lin Li’s punch head-on. The sound of cracking bones rang out as it let out a piercing shriek.
Although it had suffered a heavy blow, the giant Wild Boar Beast was an experienced fighter that had survived in the wilds for many years. It knew it absolutely could not fall now, or its enemy would have the chance to press the advantage.
Enduring the pain of its cracked bones and the searing agony from the flames wreathing the fist, the giant Wild Boar Beast turned its head and swung its sharp tusks at Lin Li.
Leaning to his right and planting his feet, Lin Li instantly dodged to the side, nimbly avoiding the giant Wild Boar Beast’s tusk attack.
FWOOSH.
After dodging the attack, a Fireball condensed in Lin Li’s hand and shot straight toward the giant Wild Boar Beast’s body.
BOOM.
The blazing hot Fireball struck the giant Wild Boar Beast. The searing flames from the explosion spread out in an instant, scorching a large patch of the beast’s thick bristles.
The giant Wild Boar Beast, which had taken part in the previous assault on the human city, was already covered in wounds.
The wounds had scabbed over while it was resting, but the Fireball blast tore them open, and blood began to gush out once more.
"ROAR..." A pained roar escaped the giant Wild Boar Beast’s mouth. A red light flashed in its crimson eyes, and a faint golden Spiritual Light appeared on its body.
’Looks like this thing is ready to fight to the death...’
After landing a punch and a Fireball, Lin Li’s Perception picked up a violent surge in the Spiritual Energy Wave emanating from the giant Wild Boar Beast.
He also had a vague feeling that the intensity of its Spiritual Energy Wave was a bit stronger than before. It was clearly preparing to risk it all.
And just as Lin Li suspected, the giant Wild Boar Beast, having been struck repeatedly, mobilized all the Spiritual Energy in its body, preparing to unleash its full power and fight its enemy to the death.
It hadn’t made this decision recklessly.
It had only recovered a little more than half the stamina and Spiritual Energy it had spent in the previous war. With its current injuries, fleeing would be difficult; if its enemy was determined to hunt it down, escape would be nearly impossible.
Rather than waste its stamina and Spiritual Energy on a failed escape, only to be killed anyway, it was better to unleash all its Spiritual Energy and fight its enemy to the death.
Even if it couldn’t escape its fate, it could at least inflict some damage on its enemy in a desperate, final battle.
"ROAR..." Unleashing its full power, the giant Wild Boar Beast let out a deafening roar. Then, the surface of its body, glowing with a faint golden Spiritual Light, began to emit a biting cold aura.
CRACKLE, CRACKLE...
The surrounding air temperature plummeted. As the beast’s body continued to radiate a biting chill, frost began to condense on its surface.
Within seconds, the frost rapidly coated its body, forming a hard suit of ice armor.
"Tsk... So you’ve fashioned yourself a suit of armor. Planning to use that to defend against my Flame Attacks?" Lin Li said with a smile, looking slightly surprised at the giant Wild Boar Beast, which had used its Superpower to create the suit of ice.
"Too bad for you, I have more than just Flame Attacks at my disposal."
As he finished speaking, a faint golden Spiritual Light appeared on his hand. The surrounding air swirled, converging rapidly until a razor-sharp Cyan Wind Blade instantly took form.
"ROAR...?! ! !"
The giant Wild Boar Beast had thought that with a suit of ice armor, its opponent’s Flame Superpower wouldn’t be able to cause it serious harm in their fight to the death.
But it never expected this enemy to have more than just flame-based attacks; he could also create a Wind Blade to strike it down.
The giant Wild Boar Beast had never before encountered an enemy who had awakened two different Superpowers.
In its current state, it was already no match for Lin Li. The realization that Lin Li was a Cultivator with two Superpowers shattered the beast’s newfound resolve to fight to the death. The ferocious aura it radiated weakened by more than half.
As soon as the Cyan Wind Blade formed in his hand, Lin Li could see that the giant Wild Boar Beast’s once-blazing determination was wavering badly.
’I can’t keep wasting time. I have to get home, shower, and then head to Su Yue’s place. If I’m too late, she’s going to grill me again...’
Even as he watched the giant Wild Boar Beast’s resolve crumble, Lin Li somehow had the spare mental energy to let his thoughts drift.
However, this stray thought only spurred him on, making his next assault even more ferocious.
After all, he was in a hurry to get home. He would have to go all out to end this fight as quickly as possible.
"ROAR..." The giant Wild Boar Beast, clad in its ice armor, let out a roar and charged.
However, the momentum of its charge was nothing like before. It had lost its ferocious, unstoppable might, replaced by a sense of reckless desperation.
’This Mutant Beast seems to be on its last legs!’ Watching the giant Wild Boar Beast charge toward him, Lin Li waved his hand and sent the Cyan Wind Blade flying.
