Mortal Cultivation: Starting from Hiding in the Cultivation Techniques Pavilion

When the axe blade struck the iron-backed pig's back, it actually sent up a string of sparks!

Only a faint white mark remained on that tough hide; the skin wasn't even broken.

Chen Cheng cursed inwardly, thinking that this beast was too thick-skinned.

Ironbacked Boar turned around and charged at Chen Cheng again.

Its movements are much more agile than one might imagine.

Just then, Xin Lie pounced from the side, his narrow-backed machete aimed at the iron-backed boar's soft belly and stabbed it fiercely!

The knife tip pierced the skin and went in about half an inch, but could not go any further.

Although the abdomen is soft, it is also tough enough!

In pain, the Iron-Backed Boar swung its body violently, sending Xin Lie and his knife flying with tremendous force. Xin Lie tumbled twice in the air before crashing heavily to the ground.

He got up, covered in dirt, and spat out two mouthfuls of mud.

Su Xiaoyuan seized the opportunity, made a hand seal, and activated the Mud Swamp Technique!

The solid ground beneath the iron-backed pig's feet suddenly softened, and the hard soil instantly turned into a sticky slurry.

The iron-backed pig's four hooves sank into the mud. It struggled frantically, digging desperately in the mud, but only sank deeper and deeper.

In the blink of an eye, half of the burly iron-backed pig was stuck in the hole, letting out an angry howl.

Chen Cheng and Xin Lie were overjoyed!

"What a wonderful spell!"

Chen Cheng praised him, picked up his axe, and was about to rush forward, ready to aim his axe at the Ironback Boar's eyes and deliver a fatal blow.

"Wait!" Su Xiaoyuan suddenly called out to the two of them.

Chen Cheng and Xin Lie turned to look at him in confusion.

Su Xiaoyuan frowned, staring at the iron-backed pig stuck in the mud: "Don't you think this iron-backed pig's belly is swollen a bit abnormally?"

The three of them moved closer together and simultaneously released their divine senses.

"hiss--"

This is a pregnant sow.

Although hunting demonic beasts is a perfectly normal thing, most cultivators still tacitly give way to pregnant beasts and their cubs.

It's not because of any high moral standards, but because killing a pregnant animal will also kill the cubs, resulting in multiple deaths from one unborn child. This wastes resources and easily invites retaliation.

Some highly intelligent monsters will even follow the scent to find the killer and fight to the death.

The group was at a loss; should they kill him or not?

"What should we do?" Chen Cheng scratched his head, looking somewhat troubled.

As the three hesitated, a deafening roar suddenly came from the depths of the dense forest!

Immediately afterwards, an even larger iron-backed boar suddenly burst out of the dense forest!

It was a whole size bigger than the sow, with two longer and thicker tusks that gleamed with a cold luster. Its eyes were bloodshot, and it let out a furious roar at Su Xiaoyuan and the other two!

Then they launched an attack!

Xin Lie turned to its side and slashed down hard on the Ironback Boar's neck with his machete!

The blade barely struck the thick neck, but the Ironback Boar suddenly swung its head, using its hard tusks to block the blade, producing a piercing metallic clang!

Then, it tilted its head and twisted it forcefully, snapping the long sword in Xin Lie's hand in two!

With a "crack," half of the blade flew off!

Xin Lie was shocked!

This iron-backed pig is not a match for the sow from before!

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chen Cheng attacked from the other side, swinging his iron axe in a wide arc and slashing fiercely at the iron-backed boar's soft belly!

The axe blade sliced ​​through the skin, leaving a shallow bloodstain.

However, Ironback Pig roared in pain and rammed its big head into Chen Cheng's chest, sending him flying!

Chen Cheng tumbled twice in the air before crashing heavily to the ground. He got up, covered in dust, coughed twice, and looked pale.

"Don't fight head-on!" Su Xiaoyuan shouted, "Fight back and forth! Circle around it and attack!"

Chen Cheng and Xin Lie immediately changed their tactics.

The three split up and continued to harass and attack from different directions.

Although the iron-backed pig is fierce, it is still just an animal with limited intelligence.

It dashed left and right, trying to lock onto one of its targets and give chase, but whenever it charged toward one person, the other two would attack from behind or the flanks, forcing it to turn around.

After several attempts, the Ironback Pig was completely outmaneuvered by the three men, and gradually became irritable, constantly roaring angrily, but it still couldn't effectively hit any of them.

"Chen Cheng, launch a feint attack from the front!" Su Xiaoyuan shouted!

Chen Cheng understood, shouted loudly, swung his iron axe, and with a powerful split, cleaved down hard on the head of the iron-backed pig!

He used all his strength in this axe strike, with astonishing momentum. The Ironback Boar had no choice but to stop and raise its head to block with its tusks.

In that instant, Su Xiaoyuan activated the Qingfeng Technique!

He darted across the ground like a gentle breeze, and in the blink of an eye, he was behind the Ironback Pig.

With his right hand held together like a sword, spiritual energy rapidly condensed at his fingertips, and a sharp ray, about an inch long, extended from his fingertips, flickering and piercingly sharp!

This is the optimized version of the Qingfeng Finger!

After advancing to the fourth level of Qi Refining, the power of the Azure Edge Finger has increased significantly.

Su Xiaoyuan aimed at the relatively weak area on the side of the Ironback Pig's belly, and with a flick of her wrist, her Green Finger, like an invisible short sword, cut into the Ironback Pig's belly without any resistance!

A hand-length gash was instantly slashed open on the side of the iron-backed pig's abdomen, and blood immediately gushed out!

The Ironback Pig let out a deafening howl, and in its excruciating pain, it suddenly turned around and charged at Su Xiaoyuan with its eyes red!

But how could it possibly catch up with Su Xiaoyuan?

As it moved violently, the wound on its abdomen was torn and enlarged, and blood gushed out like a faucet with its gates turned on.

Its intestines slid out of the wound, dragging on the ground, where they were trampled to pieces by its own hooves.

The iron-backed pig began to stagger.

Its strength was rapidly waning, and the massive loss of blood was blurring its vision and making its limbs increasingly heavy.

It chased after it for a few more steps, but finally couldn't hold on any longer. Its front legs buckled, and it knelt down on the ground, panting heavily, with blood and foam gushing from its mouth and nose.

Just when the three thought it was finally about to give up, a faint light suddenly flashed across the surface of the iron-backed boar's body!

Immediately afterwards, the coarse bristles on its body stood up one by one, as if supported by an invisible force from the root, and the tip of each bristle gleamed with a metallic luster!

Su Xiaoyuan's pupils contracted sharply, a strong sense of crisis surging into his heart. He shouted suddenly, "Get out of the way!"

Chen Cheng and Xin Lie also sensed something was wrong. Without thinking, they both rushed behind the nearest big tree and curled up.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

Countless bristles shot out from the Ironback Boar's body, like a barrage of arrows, sweeping indiscriminately in all directions!

Each hair was as hard as iron, with a sharp tip like a needle, making a sharp whistling sound as it cut through the air!
