Chapter 80
Wu Pifu knew he was not a smart man.
Let alone comparing himself to someone like Chu Minghao, he was far inferior even to Xu Shilan.
But Wu Pifu also held to certain principles, such as repaying kindness and avenging grievances.
And one of those principles was that he must oppose whatever his enemies wanted to do.
This giant wild boar monster was incredibly strong; there was no doubt about that. But after battling it, Wu Pifu keenly discovered one thing: this giant wild boar monster was actually... timid!?
Seemingly cruel, violent, crude, and despicable, Wu Pifu, who was fighting it, keenly sensed the timidity and panic in its heart.
This was simply unbelievable!
As the saying goes, high skill brings courage; when one's power is great, one's courage is naturally sufficient.
This giant wild boar monster had over three hundred years of cultivation and was an overbearing existence that could run rampant in this world; how could it be timid and panicked!?
With a physique ten times that of Wu Pifu, how could it be afraid of close-quarters combat with a mortal like him?
And it was also afraid of getting close to Bianliang City, afraid of the sword light left behind by Chu Minghao!
Therefore...
He could win!
Wu Pifu lunged forward like a tiger, colliding with the standing giant wild boar monster. The immense force triggered a gale that swept through the surroundings. The giant wild boar monster, which was three or four times the size of Wu Pifu, was actually sent stumbling by the impact, while Wu Pifu’s palms and claws had already begun to strike wildly at its body.
Although the giant wild boar monster was cautious by nature, it was a monster after all, and having run rampant in the north for over a hundred years, it went berserk again at this moment. It swung its great blade, hacking wildly at Wu Pifu, while its other hand also struck out, its two legs kicked randomly, and its snout and tusks kept goring and biting, forcing Wu Pifu to retreat and dodge. Even so, amidst the chaotic strikes, he was hit on the arm by the giant wild boar monster's elbow, and immediately, the bone in that arm snapped.
But this only forced Wu Pifu back by three meters or so. He planted his feet firmly into the ground, resisting this massive force with all his might, his legs sinking nearly half a meter deep into the earth. Then, in the next instant, the qi energy within his body erupted, and with the counter-shock force rising from the ground, he lunged at the giant wild boar monster again. While tearing and striking with his claws and palms, he bit fiercely into the giant wild boar monster's waist, tearing off a large mouthful of flesh and blood.
At the same time, the giant wild boar monster roared and charged forward with all its might, slamming Wu Pifu into the camp fence. As it smashed the fence to pieces, Wu Pifu was also sent flying far away, spitting blood.
The giant wild boar monster panted and roared, and one could see red-black energy spewing from its mouth. Suddenly, it bit its tongue tip hard, spraying out a mouthful of essence blood. This red-black energy suddenly became solid, and as it hit the ground in clumps, it mixed with the soil and transformed into half-monsters two and a half meters tall.
Seeing that the giant wild boar monster still did not stop, it muttered incantations, and the earth beneath its feet wrapped around it like flowing water, coating its body in a thick layer of soil, which then turned into hard rock, causing its size to expand by another circle.
Wu Pifu was silently standing up from afar at this moment. He felt sore and itchy all over; that last collision had broken several of his bones, and his skin was torn and flesh mangled. Yet, inexplicably, everything from his bones to his flesh was itching. He looked down and discovered that the flesh on his body was actually slowly squirming, in the process of self-healing.
(Is this... have my own body attributes become powerful enough to have such strong self-healing? Or is it that the flesh and blood of this giant wild boar monster possess powerful self-healing properties?)
Wu Pifu licked his lips. He had indeed taken a bite just now, and some flesh and blood had entered his throat, but he hadn't expected the effect to be so good!?
Just then, the ground trembled, and a sharp rock spike shot out from beneath his feet. Because it came so suddenly, Wu Pifu didn't even react in time, only managing to shift his stance slightly, and the sharp point pierced his abdomen...
Bang.
Wu Pifu patted his belly; it hurt a little, but the rock, which had the hardness of granite, was actually shattered by the impact.
He was already within five steps of the giant wild boar monster. All attacks were reduced by fifty percent due to the comprehensive judgment, and as a result, they couldn't even break his defense.
Wu Pifu simply stopped dodging, only moving away from sensitive and vulnerable areas, letting the large number of rock spikes emerging from the ground attack him directly. Meanwhile, he used his body control from national martial arts to move his qi and blood to his stomach, accelerating the digestion of the great monster's flesh, and then vibrated his skin and flesh, using the techniques of human-immortal martial arts to heal himself. Although the speed was certainly not as fast as using high-tech carbon-based nano-units for healing, nor could it compare to the giant wild boar monster's self-healing speed, this healing speed was still more than a hundred times faster than usual.
The giant wild boar monster was now exerting its innate demonic arts to the fullest. Outside the entire North Gate of Bianliang, sand and stones were flying, and the earth was cracking and bulging everywhere, turning into an uneven landscape, while countless rock spikes surged toward Wu Pifu.
At the same time, most of the Song captives in the Jin camp also fled. Although Su Xing did not come to fight for the Song, he felt sympathy for them, so he tried his best to lead the giant wild boar demon away from the areas where the Song captives were, although there were some accidental injuries, which was unavoidable for Su Xing.
Seeing that this powerful demonic art, which was enough to swallow an entire army, was completely unable to harm Wu Pifu—not just this rock-earth technique, but even its Profound Yin Soul-Slaughtering Blade, which it had refined for over a hundred years, could not affect Wu Pifu's mind—the giant wild boar monster roared in fury, "What on earth are you!"
At this moment, Wu Pifu chuckled and strode toward the giant wild boar monster again. At this moment, a look of panic was clearly visible in the giant wild boar monster's eyes. Immediately, rock spikes or giant rocks appeared beneath Wu Pifu's feet and all around him, constantly stabbing at him and bombarding him.
But this could not stop Wu Pifu's advance at all. He didn't even dodge, taking all these countless hits head-on. By the time he was within about ten meters of the giant wild boar monster, he suddenly burst into a sprint, leaving all the rocks and spikes behind him, and lunged directly in front of the giant wild boar monster. At the same time, those rock half-monsters summoned by the giant wild boar monster also swarmed toward Wu Pifu.
The giant wild boar monster roared again, and more rocks gathered onto its body, layer upon layer, making its height exceed five meters, wrapping its entire body into a granite sphere. The defense was so strong that even battering rams and catapults could not shake it in the slightest. However... "Pifu," the opponent's attack is reduced by fifty percent beyond five steps, but within five steps...
Wu Pifu crashed directly into the blocking rock half-monsters. These seemingly indestructible granite half-monsters, obsidian half-monsters, and the like couldn't stop him for even a second. Wu Pifu charged directly in front of the giant wild boar monster, and as its great blade swung down, he had already charged into the granite shell wrapping its body.
The granite shell, nearly two meters thick, became incredibly brittle the moment Wu Pifu touched it. It cracked at a touch and shattered at a blow. One could see Wu Pifu’s entire body imprint itself onto it, and then the entire granite shell exploded. Wu Pifu’s palms, claws, and bite all landed on the giant wild boar monster's chest and belly.
The giant wild boar monster was sent rolling by the impact. It was shocked, angry, fearful, and in pain. At this moment, its wild nature erupted, and it reached out with one hand to slap its own body, causing Wu Pifu, who was clinging to its chest, to spray blood wildly. Finally, after a heavy blow, Wu Pifu was knocked away, and a large chunk of flesh was missing from the giant wild boar monster's chest.
As soon as Wu Pifu landed, he immediately began to swallow and chew the flesh and blood in his mouth frantically. It still wasn't enough, and he also swallowed the wild boar flesh he had torn off with his claws.
Just at this moment, the Jin soldiers or wounded who had not yet fled in the camp all began to scream within a hundred meters of the giant wild boar demon, rolling in pain. Some even dug out their own eyeballs and pierced their own ears.
Dead monster meat and living monster meat are two different things.
The former is a great tonic for almost all living beings; the higher the cultivation, the better the nourishing effect, even comparable to heavenly treasures. But if a living monster splits off its flesh and blood, that flesh and blood carries powerful polluting characteristics. This is also how great monsters with over a hundred years of cultivation give birth to dependents, only the resulting half-monsters become extremely cruel, their intelligence drops, and they obey the great monster implicitly.
But now, in front of the giant wild boar monster, Wu Pifu swallowed its flesh and blood, and then nothing happened. No pollution, no deformity, and implicit obedience was even more impossible. Moreover, right under the giant wild boar monster's gaze, the wounds on Wu Pifu's body actually began to heal slowly.
This speed was naturally incomparable to the giant wild boar monster, but what was the giant wild boar monster?
A great monster with over three hundred years of cultivation, its life essence had long since sublimated from the level of ordinary life, while the Wu Pifu before it was definitely just a mortal!
But what kind of mortal is this, damn it!?
!
The giant wild boar monster's eyes flickered. It glanced at the distant Bianliang City, its eyes full of greed, but this greed was soon replaced by a certain worry and fear. Then, it cleanly and decisively turned its body, back to Wu Pifu, and ran toward the north, away from Bianliang.
Wu Pifu was stunned. This kind of reaction was something he had never expected, but how could he let this giant wild boar monster leave at this time?
Heaven knows if ten, a hundred, or a thousand giant wild boar monsters will appear when it comes back next time?
Or perhaps threads will hang down from the sky, and everything he is familiar with will turn into paper-person monsters?
How could he let it be like this!?
Exterminate evil completely. Wu Pifu decided to learn from the protagonists of the novels he read: if you dare to glare at me and form a grudge, then I must kill your whole family, not even sparing the chickens and dogs... uh, this seems too extreme.
But right now... the giant wild boar monster must die!
Wu Pifu didn't care that he hadn't fully healed yet. He gathered his qi and burst into full speed, catching up to the fleeing giant wild boar monster. He struck out with a full-force palm on its back, causing the giant wild boar monster's back to explode, leaving a bloody hole.
But this giant wild boar monster didn't look back at all, only focusing on running forward. Even though it was hit by Wu Pifu multiple times from behind, it actually used this force to increase its speed a little.
Moreover, the giant wild boar monster had thick skin and rough flesh, ignoring all obstacles in front of it, just goring wildly with its snout, forcing its way out of the camp.
Wu Pifu also became ruthless. He jumped directly onto the giant wild boar monster's back, then leaped and straddled its head. Ignoring its palm slaps and wild goring, he stabbed both hands into the giant wild boar monster's eyeballs. As the giant wild boar monster roared in pain and lowered its head to the ground, he was also pushed onto the ground and dragged for at least a hundred meters.
And the giant wild boar monster collapsed into a cloud of rising dust.
At this moment, there was a chirping sound, and a small emerald-green bird was about to land on Wu Pifu's shoulder from the air.
"Go back!"
Wu Pifu's expression changed drastically, and he roared to stop it.
In that rising dust, a behemoth about nine to ten meters high and eighteen or nineteen meters long was standing up.
A huge, terrifying giant boar monster, covered in bone spurs and with pitch-black eyes, was glaring at Wu Pifu from within the dust.
