Chapter 18:- One Down

Although the Ivory Hog was comparable to an eight star Battle Apprentice, it was outnumbered 5v1. Additionally, the leader of this band was also an Eight Star Battle Apprentice.

It wouldn\'t be easy for the Ivory Hog alone to kill them all.

"Haaaa!!!..." Li Hao gave a loud battle roar and slammed his axe onto to the demonic beast.

The weapon collided with its tusks and after an intense collision, Li Hao was forced a few meters back. The blood inside his body churned and a streak of blood leaked out of his mouth.

\'This is bad, we are all tired after an entire day of hunting. Those four won\'t be able to keep the beast surrounded much longer, I must finish it before the situation turns around\' Li Hao thought internally.

He glanced at the other four and they all nodded in understanding at the same time.

Li Hao jumped back and opened more distance between himself and the demonic beast while the rest of his party engaged in a fierce battle with the demonic beast to stall for time.

Li Hao swiftly started making some seals and the energy inside him started becoming stronger and more violent. A powerful aura that emitted out of him, swept through the campsite.

This change instantly caught the attention of the Ivory Hog. Even if ut wasn\'t very intelligent, it was a demonic beast nonetheless. It instinctively felt the danger, broke out of the encirclement and charged towards the bearded man.

Li Hao was unfazed facing the charge of the Ivory Hog, he lifted his battle axe high up and all that accumulated energy inside his body rushed towards his axe.

\'[Six Slash Battle Fury]\' Li Hao voiced in his heart and used his one and only Battle Skill with all his might.

Six continuous slashes appeared after Li Hao swung his axe in a wild fashion as they swept towards the Ivory Hog.

BANG... BANG... SPLASH...

The demonic beast was able to fend off four of the six slashes; however, the last two slashes broke through its defence and dug through its tough hide.

Two deep gashes appeared on the body of the ivory hog, blood flowed out wildly and soon its eyes became dim and it dropped to the ground.

The other four who saw this scene sighed in relief and at the same time, marvelled at the might of the Battle Skill of their leader.

It was the same for Yang Chen who was observing them from a distance. He couldn\'t help but gawk at that might. It must be mentioned that the strength of a demonic beast was a few times stronger than humans even if they were on the same level.

It was mainly due to their extremely strong bodies. So even if the leader of those hunters was on the same level as the Ivory Hog, he might not have necessarily won without the aid of that battle skill.

"Go... all of them are tired from the battle. The accumulated fatigue should be taking its effect now. You shouldn\'t have much difficulty disposing them off. It\'s time to collect some more mischief points"

Amon grinned from the side and beckoned Yang Chen not just stand there gawking use this oppurtunity.

Yang Chen nodded his head, he had lured over the Ivory Hog precisely for this opportunity. Now is the best time for him to make his move if he wanted to kill these bastards.

He quickly rushed through the forest and appeared near the crag where their campsite was. Yang Chen jumped out of the bushes just when the five men thought that they can take a break now.

All of them cautiously watched Yang Chen, a trace of tiredness could be seen in their bodies.

"Brat!! Why the hell are you here again?" Li Hao barked looking at him with hate filled eyes.

"Haha... I naturally came here to collect my mischief points" Yang Chen replied with a serious face, he drew out the long sword he purchased from the sword and pointed at them.

Naturally, everybody\'s face became grim when they saw the action of the brat. They did not understand what mischief points nonsense he was talking about, but it didn\'t take a genius to understand his motive when a sword was pointed at them.

Li Hao\'s face was cold, he understood that the situation definitely didn\'t look good for them. They have just finished a big battle and were tired from the exhaustion accumulated over the day.

Even if the brat was weaker than him, he wouldn\'t be able to win. Nonetheless, Li Hao and the others were experienced hunters, they were trying to intimidate the other party with their numbers.

"Brat I want to see how you leave this place alive. You dare to lure that demonic beast towards us?" saying that, he looked at his four companions and together they stepped forward hoping that this would be enough to scare the boy into running away.

"Haha, trying to show a brave front huh?" However, what they didn\'t expect was that Yang Chen would instead laugh at their pitiful attempt to scare him away.

The latter didn\'t waste time, quickly activated his Burst step skill that has reached the advanced completion stage and appeared behind one of the hunters. The latter did not even perceive Yang Chen when a blade pierced through his neck and came out of the other end.

PSHHH...

"Gurg!!"

Blood flowed out, the light on the hunter\'s eyes swiftly disappeared and his body lifelessly fell to the ground. With this, one of the hunters was down.

Everybody who saw this scene was stunned, fear suddenly grasped their body. They couldn\'t even see when Yang Chen had disappeared and appeared behind their companion. All of them opened a distance from the young boy in rag tag clothing in panic.

"Committing murder is a heinous crime in this forest. Don\'t think that others won\'t hunt you down for doing something like this"

Li Hao threatened with a pale white face as he saw the lifeless body of his companion.
