Chapter 346: Chapter 308: Smashing the Wild Boar Demon with One Punch

"Xiaoqi?"

"Holy crap, Xiaoqi’s here!"

It was only after Xiaoqi single-handedly shattered the Wild Boar Demon’s defensive shield with ease that Wei Nan, Zhou Qi, and the others snapped back to reality.

A look of pleasant surprise flashed in their eyes.

’If Xiaoqi is here, can Lin Yi be far behind?’

The moment the Wild Boar Demon’s defense shattered,

Xiaoqi flapped its wings and soared into the air again,

leaving the Wild Boar Demon to go berserk...

And just then, a figure rushed over at extreme speed.

SLAP! SLAP! SLAP—

When the person got close, a series of palm strikes landed all over the Wild Boar Demon’s body.

The next moment, a golden dragon appeared, letting out a resounding roar.

BOOM—

The instant the golden dragon collided with the Wild Boar Demon again,

the demon didn’t even have time to make a sound before its entire, massive body exploded.

A huge amount of blood and chunks of meat splattered in all directions.

Wei Nan, Zhou Qi, and the others couldn’t dodge in time.

They were completely drenched in blood.

A fist-sized piece of boar meat even smashed into Wei Nan’s head.

The single blow made Wei Nan dizzy.

It took him a long while to recover.

When they looked again toward the remains of the Wild Boar Demon,

they found a person standing there—none other than the Lin Yi they had been desperately hoping for.

Although he was standing close to the explosion, there wasn’t a speck of blood or flesh on him.

Instead, the spot where he stood was like a clean vacuum.

The ground around him was impeccably clean...

Lin Yi bent down and pulled a crimson stone from within the chunks of meat.

It wasn’t a perfectly round and smooth pearl.

It looked more like a stone, but with a red liquid slowly flowing inside.

This was the Demon Core from inside a demon beast.

This Demon Core was the size of an adult’s fist.

The size of the Demon Core probably varied with the realm of the demon beast.

The bigger the Demon Core, the higher its value.

This was because it stored more cultivation energy.

Without any hesitation, Lin Yi put the Demon Core into his Storage Ring.

Only then did he turn to look at Wei Nan and the others, smiling. "Are you guys all right?"

"We’re fine... You and Xiaoqi arrived just in time. If you were a few minutes later, you might not have seen us again!" Wei Nan said, shaking his head.

Zhou Qi, Sun Tao, and Shen Mengyi had all completely lost their composure.

They were drenched in blood from head to toe, looking as if they had just climbed out of a pool of blood.

Sun Tao, in particular, still had some shredded meat hanging from his head.

Lin Yi walked up to them and looked them up and down several times.

He shook his head and said, "How about we find a place to wash up?"

"No need, let’s continue the Demon Hunting!" Zhou Qi said, shaking his head.

Sun Tao and Wei Nan also nodded.

"Right, let’s kill a few more while we can!"

Lin Yi glanced at them, and after confirming again that they didn’t need to wash up,

he nodded. "Alright, then. Let’s continue the Demon Hunting. We’ll head north!"

"There are more demon beasts there!"

"But... you’d better be mentally prepared. The stench of blood on you guys is overwhelming!"

"The demon beasts might not even need us to find them; they’ll probably follow the scent right to us!"

Hearing this, the group wasn’t afraid.

The demon beasts coming to them? That would actually save them a lot of time.

Just as they were about to leave, Wei Nan looked at the minced meat covering the ground.

He said with some regret, "Wait, Lin Yi, are we just going to leave all this meat?

"A 5-star Wild Boar Demon should be worth a lot of money, right?"

Lin Yi glanced at him with a smile. "If you want it, go pick it up yourself!"

"Alright!"

As if he had just received permission, Wei Nan immediately took out a plastic bag from his wristband.

He actually squatted down and started picking up the pieces of meat from the ground one by one.

His actions seemed to serve as a reminder to Sun Tao, Zhou Qi, and Shen Mengyi.

They all ran over and started picking up the meat from the ground together.

Although the Wild Boar Demon had been blown to bits,

it was still 5-star Demon Beast Meat, worth a good amount of money.

Even just one bagful could sell for over a hundred thousand.

In other words, they weren’t picking up meat, they were picking up money...

It was just that there was so much meat on the ground, it was impossible to pick it all up.

Gradually, Wei Nan and the others became picky.

They started discarding pieces that looked too mangled or didn’t catch their eye.

They only picked up the larger, better-looking chunks of meat.

In no time at all, they had filled two bags.

Looking at the remaining meat on the ground, Wei Nan felt a pang of regret.

But there was really no way to pick it all up.

He could only store the Demon Beast Meat he’d just collected into his wristband.

Only then did he follow Lin Yi and continue forward.

But just a few minutes after they left,

a low-level demon beast quietly appeared.

It first scouted around cautiously, and after confirming that the humans had left,

it darted out with a WHOOSH.

Looking at the meat on the ground, its eyes shone with a greedy, excited light.

It recklessly grabbed the meat off the ground and stuffed it into its mouth.

It ate as it gathered, as if terrified someone would fight it for the food.

For demon beasts, eating Demon Beast Meat was also greatly beneficial to their cultivation.

They could even absorb more and richer nutritional value from it than humans.

Therefore, it was common for demon beasts to fight and kill each other.

All to raise their cultivation by devouring one another.

Just then, another demon beast ran out from a corner.

Evidently, it too had been drawn by the overwhelming smell of blood.

When it saw that another demon beast was already there, it hesitated for a moment.

Then, it also lowered its guard.

It ran over, picked up some Demon Beast Meat, and began to devour it in large mouthfuls.

Perhaps because there was enough Demon Beast Meat, there was no need to fight over it.

So, neither paid any attention to the other.

They each picked at the flesh and blood on the ground. After eating their fill tonight,

it would be of great benefit to their future cultivation.

Especially since it was high-grade 5-star Demon Beast Meat, it would save them at least several years of wasted effort.

However... where there was flesh and blood, more demon beasts were bound to be attracted.

Before the first two could eat their fill,

more low-level demon beasts swarmed into the area.

They greedily fought over the flesh and blood on the ground.

As too many demon beasts joined in, there was clearly not enough meat to go around.

Thus, they began to attack each other over pieces of meat.

But they never would have dreamed

that at this very moment, they were being watched on a surveillance screen.

「In the command center.」

Meng Meng stared at the surveillance monitor.

She had witnessed the entire battle between Lin Yi, Wei Nan, and the others against the Wild Boar Demon.

She was utterly shocked that Lin Yi had so easily obliterated a 5-star Wild Boar Demon.

’That was a 5-star Wild Boar Demon, and it was even showing signs of mutation.’

’It could swell from its original size to over three meters tall.’

’Its defense was astounding.’

’It could even form a golden defensive shield.’

’Even our squad might not have been able to kill that Wild Boar Demon.’

’And yet, that brilliantly colored bird shattered its shield with ease.’

’Just crushed it outright.’

’What shocked her even more... was Lin Yi’s appearance and his instant obliteration of the 5-star Wild Boar Demon.’

Her curiosity about Lin Yi grew even stronger.

’A first-year university student, with this much power?’

’Facing a 5-star, mutated Wild Boar Demon,’

’he could still kill it so easily? What level of cultivation has he reached?’

’Even if he’s wearing a 6-star Martial Artist badge,’

’that doesn’t explain how he could kill the Wild Boar Demon so easily.’

’Perhaps his realm is already higher than what his badge indicates.’

’Could he be a 7-star? Or even... the Star Tempering Realm?’

As she reeled in shock, speculating about Lin Yi’s realm,

the low-level demon beasts all swarmed onto the surveillance screen.

And their numbers were growing...

"Captain Meng, we are in position!"

"Captain Meng, we’re in position!"

"Captain Meng, should we exterminate these demon beasts...?"

Meng Meng looked at the monitor, at the Demon Hunting Squads and Public Security Bureau officers who had taken their ambush positions.

A look of resolve flashed in her eyes as she nodded.

"Kill!"

The next moment, on the surveillance screen,

twenty to thirty people charged out. Besides the Demon Hunting Squads,

there were also officers from the Public Security Bureau. They began to slaughter the low-level demon beasts.

With nowhere to run and completely unprepared,

the low-level demon beasts were caught completely off guard.

In less than half an hour, all the low-level demon beasts here had been slaughtered.

However, they didn’t clean up the Demon Corpses.

Instead, they all quickly dispersed again, hiding in the shadows.

It seemed they wanted to use this as a trap to lure more demon beasts.

Watching the monitor, the corners of Meng Meng’s mouth lifted slightly.

It was as if she had discovered a better way to hunt demon beasts.

While the others waited for new demon beasts to appear,

Lin Yi, Wei Nan, Zhou Qi, and the others

once again encountered an attack.

Several Wolf Demons blocked their path.

These wolves looked like werewolves.

They stood on two legs, their bodies covered in long, dark gray fur.

With their massive, blood-stained maws open, they stared at the group with bloodthirsty eyes.

"Be careful, these Wolf Demons are 3-star and 4-star!" Lin Yi warned.

Wei Nan even held up his fingers and began to count. "One, two, three, four... five Wolf Demons?"

"There are five of us, perfect! One for each!"

Hearing this, Sun Tao, Zhou Qi, and Shen Mengyi all nodded.

They looked toward the Wolf Demons with determined gazes.

The next moment, Wei Nan and Zhou Qi were the first to launch an attack.

Just as they charged, the other Wolf Demons also made their move.

As one Wolf Demon was about to attack Zhou Qi,

SWISH—

an arrow shot over and forced it back.

Shen Mengyi said with a smile, "Your opponent is me!"

Hearing this, the Wolf Demon seemed to understand her.

A crimson glint flashed in its eyes, and it snarled as it charged at Shen Mengyi.

Seeing this, Shen Mengyi employed her nimble Body Technique.

At the same time, she continuously fired arrows from her bow at the Wolf Demon.

Wei Nan and Zhou Qi also found their respective opponents.

Sun Tao’s steel saber intercepted a Wolf Demon, and the two began to fight.

While Wei Nan was dueling one Wolf Demon,

another quietly crept up behind him.

Just as it was about to launch a sneak attack,

PFFT—

a long spear pierced through the Wolf Demon’s body.

Wei Nan quickly glanced back, his heart settling with relief.

The person behind him was Lin Yi.

He smiled and reminded him, "Don’t get distracted. Your opponent is in front of you!"

AWOO—

The next moment, the Wolf Demon facing Wei Nan swiped its sharp claws and pounced.

"Holy crap..."

Wei Nan yelled and hurriedly dodged to the side.

The Wolf Demon missed, crashing into the body of the one Lin Yi had just impaled.

Seeing this, Lin Yi kicked out.

Both Wolf Demons went flying like sandbags.

Seeing this, Wei Nan gave chase with his staff, afraid that his Wolf Demon would be kicked to death by Lin Yi.
