146Chapter 141 Second Martial Skill i

He vaulted onto the back of the Pig King with a leap.

Since he was charging head-on at the Pig King, he ended up riding backwards on its back.

The Pig King stood only as tall as his chest, but its body length was close to ten feet, at least eight or nine feet long. Broad as a door.

Once he mounted its back, the beast immediately tried to bite him, but with such a short neck and limited mobility, it couldn’t reach him at all.

So, it began to twist its body frantically, trying to throw him off.

Qin Niu watched as five or six Pig Guards rushed past him. He didn’t hurry to deal with the Pig King. Instead, he clamped his legs tight on the Pig King’s waist and swung his sword at the Pig Guards brushing past the beast.

[You have comprehended the Sweeping Strike martial skill! This is a Group Killing Martial Skill that can attack enemies in a straight line.]

Three Pig Guards were struck by his Treasured Sword on their buttocks or waists and ran off screaming in pain. However, after charging some distance away, they quickly turned around to prepare for a second collective charge at the powerful human.

The injured wild boars became even more ferocious.

By this time, Qin Niu was free to strike at the Pig King.

He mercilessly chopped at the left hind leg of the Pig King.

Puh!

With one strike, he achieved an Explosive Slash Effect.

The pig’s leg was almost completely severed, hanging by just a layer of skin.

Qin Niu dealt with the Black Bear in the same way.

Facing creatures with four legs, he aimed to render them legless, and they would become subdued.

During the chop, he distinctly felt the pig’s skin was extremely tough and elastic, like sturdy leather. A portion of the attack rebounded off the blade.

That made his heart leap with joy.

The pig’s teeth were hard, and its skin was unexpectedly firm.

After slaughtering this Pig King, at least a full set of superior leather armor could be crafted. Given its enormous size, the excess hide could even be used to make a set for Xiao Qing as well.

When one of the Pig King’s legs was cut-off, half of its body immediately collapsed.

It let out a painful pig scream.

Taking advantage of its agony and inability to thrash or jump around, Qin Niu quickly shifted his position.

Now, he was properly seated atop the Pig King.

The beast’s head, neck, front limbs, and heart were all within his striking range.

Faced with such an opportunity, he showed no mercy.

He thrust his sword directly and fiercely towards the Pig King’s heart.

To his surprise, it barely pierced about half an inch.

He encountered strong resistance.

Even though it was a difficult spot to strike, with his level of skill, combined with the power of the Treasured Sword, he should have been able to impale it through.

“Such tough skin, an absolute treasure!”

Qin Niu’s unsuccessful strike actually made him even happier.

However, the last strike pained the wild pig so much that it cried out like it was being slaughtered. It turned its head trying to bite at him.

Maimed on its left hind leg and unable to support its weight, it sat down on the ground.

“I’ll sever another one of your limbs!”

As the words fell, so did the sword.

A flash of cold light streaked through the air as the Treasured Sword, trailed by dazzling Blade Qi, struck the Pig King’s right front leg.

No other reason than that it just felt more natural to do so.

Almost everyone’s right hand is stronger and more agile than their left.

Puh!

“Ao…”

The Pig King let out another pitiful cry.

Its right front limb was severed, causing it to completely lose its balance and collapse to the ground.

At that point, it sensed death and overwhelming fear.

It struggled to push off the ground with its long snout in an attempt to stand up.

But Qin Niu did not give it any chance to live.

Another ruthless chop targeted its neck.

The pig’s skin was so tough that the sword only cut an inch or so deep.

It might have been an illusion, but there seemed to be a faint dark yellow glow emanating from the place where the blade struck its neck.

Qin Niu had long anticipated that it would not be killed with a single blow.

He withdrew the sword quickly, shifting his stance, then savagely struck again. The entire slaughter of the Pig King was as swift as lightning, as fierce as a tiger.

The second strike landed precisely where the first had hit.

And it triggered the Explosive Slash Effect again.

With the Treasured Sword growing stronger, the chance for Explosive Slash seemed to have increased slightly.

Crack!

The neck was cleanly severed, including the entire spine, snapped in two.
