At this very moment, Henry Carter finally got a clear look at the wild boar. It was a reddish-brown beast, with a large head, broad feet, and a sturdy body. Its pair of tusks were stained with blood, clearly marking it as a wild boar accustomed to killing and bloodshed. Moreover, the boar was wounded at this time.

An injured wild boar is naturally the most terrifying.

When Henry Carter stood with his knife in hand, the boar’s fist-sized eyes locked tightly onto Henry Carter. Waves of chilling murderous intent emanated from the boar, and from its body, Henry Carter felt a penetrating pressure.

A wild boar, actually exerting pressure! And this pressure was even stronger than what he had felt when facing a fifth-rank expert on the battlefield years ago. Realizing he had encountered a formidable foe, Henry Carter slightly adjusted his stance, raising his steel blade high. The killing intent honed on the battlefield surged forth.

“Humph!” The blood-colored boar king seemed to pay no heed to the poised Henry Carter, its blood-red eyes filled with rage!

As Henry Carter’s killing intent reached its peak, the boar king suddenly let out a wild roar, its calf-sized body charging straight at Henry Carter!

“Clang, clang, clang.” Henry Carter moved swiftly, swinging his steel blade rapidly, but when his blade struck the red boar’s body, only a series of metallic clangs rang out, as if he were chopping at tough steel!

Dodging the boar’s attack, Henry Carter noticed that his steel blade was actually a bit nicked, while the boar king, which he had slashed at least a dozen times, didn’t have a single trace of blood on its body.

“Roar!” The nearly berserk boar king howled again, lunging at Henry Carter once more. At the very instant the boar king pounced, a faint white glow appeared on Henry Carter’s steel blade. Knowing how formidable the boar king was, Henry Carter had already infused his Mang Niu Qi into the blade.

The boar king seemed to sense the danger, but it was already too late to dodge. With a furious roar, its tusks flashed as it rammed straight toward Henry Carter’s shoulder.

“Clang!” With a sound like clashing steel, Henry Carter’s blade finally stabbed into the boar king’s belly. Bright red blood spurted out from the half-foot-deep wound, then gushed down in streams.

The moment the steel blade struck the boar king, Henry Carter was sent flying by a tremendous force from the beast’s body.

“Roar, roar, roar!”

The wounded boar became even more frenzied. The boar king, as if completely mad, ignored its own wounds and charged at Henry Carter with all its might!

Some of the braver men from the village rushed over with hunting forks and sticks. Watching Henry Carter and the wild boar locked in a desperate struggle, they only shouted from the sidelines, not daring to get close.

“Thud! Thud!”

Henry Carter, dodging swiftly, slashed the boar four times in quick succession, leaving it drenched in blood. Just as Henry Carter was preparing to wait for an opening, the boar suddenly stopped in its tracks.

The blood-red boar glared at Henry Carter with hatred, then suddenly opened its mouth and blew a breath onto its own body. The moment the blood-red vapor left the boar’s mouth, all the bleeding wounds on its body vanished without a trace!

“Ah! It’s a demon beast! This wild boar has become a demon beast! Everyone, run!”

The villagers, stunned and dumbfounded, froze for a moment before snapping back to their senses. Like a gust of wind, the crowd that had just been watching the spectacle disappeared without a trace.

Stared down by the wild boar, Henry Carter felt an unknown danger closing in. He leapt up, unleashing the final move of the Thirteen Blood Battle Forms—Blood Trace Across a Thousand Miles—like a streak of red lightning, slashing straight at the boar!

“Thud!” The boar opened its mouth and spat out a small red pearl. The moment the pearl appeared, Henry Carter felt as if his body had been frozen in place. No matter how he tried to move or dodge, he couldn’t escape the pearl’s range!

A demon beast’s inner core—there was no way Henry Carter could resist it, even though this was only a low-level demon beast. Knowing he was doomed, Henry Carter’s mind went blank, but the ferocity he had cultivated through years of battle still drove him to charge at the boar without hesitation!

Even in death, he would not let this boar off easy!

However, Henry Carter’s body was already immobilized by the demon beast’s inner core. Getting close to the boar was harder than reaching the sky!

The intelligent boar king glanced at Henry Carter with a cold, disdainful look, then its massive body charged straight at Henry Carter! As the king of these wild mountains, it was determined to crush this human who dared challenge its authority into dust!

Fast—the boar king’s speed was like thunder. If this charge hit, there would be only one outcome for Henry Carter: certain death!

Watching the boar king charge at him with reckless abandon, Henry Carter gathered his energy as his mind raced.

“Thud!” Just as the boar king reached him, Henry Carter suddenly spat out a stream of white vapor. The vapor, about three inches long and sharp as a blade, was the Mang Niu Qi that Henry Carter had desperately cultivated.
