Saying that their formation was bad was quite insulting, but that was precisely what Lin Xiao thought when he saw his friends in that badly shaped formation. There were loopholes everywhere.
He felt headache and then shook his head. "After this battle… we need to fix our formation."
"Ah."
The others smiled sheepishly. They did train, but they mostly spend their training individually or with one other person. Due to that reason, they were also unfamiliar with each other when it came to a large group hunting like this.
"Attack."
Lin Xiao and Princess Lan Yi Hua sped up towards the beast rank 4. The three beast rank 3 nearby detected them too, but before they could intercept, soundwaves had already attacked them. It prevented them from moving for a second as Han Jiang, Lin Yun, and Xia Ye came to intercept them.
Slash!
With a swing of his sword, Xia Ye killed the first boar then headed to the side where Fan Ling had approached the second one. His eyes focused on the weaker beast as he swung his sword once more, killing the beast with ease.
Swish!
Princess Lan Yi Hua's body flickered as she reappeared near the boar. Her two small swords were plunged towards the boar's body as she tried to gauge his defense. The attack barely went through the skin.
Roar!
The angry boar shook its large body and tried to push Princess Lan Yi Hua away. However, she had already disappeared from her position and reappeared on the back. This time, the twin swords were used to attack the boar's leg.
Slash! Slash! Slash!
'His defense is really good.'
Gathering her Qi, Princess Lan Yi Hua used it to infuse into her sword. It was one of the basic skill that those at Foundation Establishment would learn. With another attack, the wound was even deeper.
The boar wanted to struggle, but Lin Xiao had arrived before him. With strange footwork, Lin Xiao suddenly arrived at the side when the boar attempted to crush him with its large tooth. His hand had a sword that was pointed straight to the neck.
Mountain Sword, Second Stance.
Stab!
The sword was plunged deep into the boar's neck. Lin Xiao's eyes flickered when he sensed the defense because he could tell that the boar's skin was quite thick. While he managed to stab his sword, it had failed to reach the vital point.
Before the boar could raise its front pay and tried to attack Lin Xiao, Lin Xiao had attempted to execute another move.
Chilling Lake, First Move, Freeze!
The Qi that he had infused into the sword moved as if they have their own lives. It stuck into the body of the boar and spread chilling coldness. Lin Xiao didn't have ice attribute but lake was still essentially water. Cold water was close to ice, so he knew that this one move was one that perfectly illustrate the way lake move.
The blood on the boar's neck was frozen but its attack didn't stop.
Stomp! Swish!
Lin Xiao had moved back. His eyes were focusing on the boar's neck when he saw Princess Lan Yi Hua had also stepped back and moved to the side in order to see the wound that Lin Xiao had created. Her mouth was curled up to form a smile while her two hands were stretched to the front.
She mouthed out without any sound, 'Twins' Horns.'
With that, her Qi moved from the two small swords in her hand towards the beasts. The Qi formed two lights as it headed towards the wound that Lin Xiao had made.
Bang!
The moment it was hit, there was dull sound of explosion and the boar roared as blood poured out like a waterfall. If Lin Xiao froze the blood to prevent it from having enough blood to its head, Princess Lan Yi Hua used her attack to create large gash around the previous wound, which made the blood that hadn't been frozen to spill out.
The boar roared once more as its large body fell down with a thud.
"You're amazing!" Lin Xiao's eyes sparkled. The move that Princess Lan Yi Hua did could only be above the third form, which was skill that could only be learned when one reached Foundation Establishment. When one thought about how Princess Lan Yi Hua had only entered the Foundation Establishment in less than three months' time, her progress was huge.
Princess Lan Yi Hua merely smiled and shook her head. "It's still imperfect."
"Let's clean up the rest."
"Ok."
While Lin Xiao and Princess Lan Yi Hua began to clean up the other beast rank 3, Fan Ling was also busy fighting against the boar rank 4. She used her fan almost immediately and pointed towards it as a streak of Qi attacked its face.
Roar!
The boar was annoyed by the sudden disruption. The attack that Fan Ling used didn't harm it in the slightest bit. However, Fan Ling was not worried as she moved to circle the boar. Her hand that was holding the fan didn't even open the fan as she pointed several times.
'One, two, three…'
Internally, she was counting, but outside, she looked as if she was only having fun. The boar didn't have the capability to catch her, so it could only try to chase after Fan Ling, who was circling the boar happily.
'Seven.'
When Fan Ling hit the boar's body for the seventh time, the boar suddenly felt its body was unable to move. It was stunned as its large body fell down to the ground with a large thud. Its eyes widened as it tried to initiate its Qi in vain and despair began to show in his eyes.
Afterwards, Fan Ling headed closer and smiled. "Good bye."
Slash!
The opened fan slashed through the boar's neck and killed it easily.
There was not even any time for the boar to speak anymore and blood oozed out. Without the Qi, the boar's defense had fallen greatly, making it easy to kill it.
