Chapter 20 : Beast Hunt (End)
Su Wantian tightened his grip on the dagger in his hand.
The demonic beast was rushing towards him.
He could clearly see the horrifying injuries on its body three saber wounds on its head, so deep the bone was visible, and even the bone was covered in cracks; one saber wound on its waist, which had severed many muscles and greatly affected its mobility; it was blind in one eye, and its head was almost turned into mush; its tail was broken, unable to control its balance at all; three arrows were stuck in its hind legs and body, caught in the muscle, with blood continuously flowing from the wounds.
Speed, strength, clarity, life, were all flowing away from the demonic beast at an incredible rate, to the point that Su Wantian could clearly see its every move.
Except for the time of its birth, this was perhaps the demonic beast's weakest moment.
And he had never felt his mind so clear before.
All emotions, all unnecessary thoughts had vanished from his mind, leaving him with only one thought, one purpose at this moment.
The demonic beast's left front paw, with claws sharp enough to tear through gold and stone, swept through the air.
Su Wantian seized the opportunity and, imitating the hunter from just now, bent his body and pounced to the right.
This move both dodged its attack and avoided exposing himself to its other limbs that had not yet moved, preventing him from falling into a passive situation.
Without any hesitation, he quickly, so quickly that he was almost crawling on all fours, moved towards the distance and picked up the spear shaft that the hunter with the surname Li had dropped on the ground earlier even with a demonic beast in this state, it would be complete suicide for him to go into close combat with a small dagger!
Although this long spear no longer had its spearhead, it was still long enough.
As long as it pierced a part like the eye, it still had killing power.
Even if it couldn't pierce, it could still block when the demonic beast pounced, at least it was stronger than the humorous dagger!
On the other side, the demonic beast had also completely lost the momentum it had when it had killed and injured five people in an instant.
The massive loss of blood and its terrible physical condition no longer allowed it to display its previous fierceness.
Its head, which had been struck by Lao Xuetou's fully charged blow, could no longer maintain clarity.
The beast's instinct took over, and the demonic beast began to look for an opportunity to escape.
But Su Wantian could not let it go like this.
On a normal day, he would just let it go.
With such heavy injuries and having lost so much blood, anyone with eyes and a brain could follow and chase after it.
But tomorrow was the day the Demonic Cult members would come looking for them.
To let it go at this time would be simply joking with everyone's lives!
Therefore, after sensing that the demonic creature wanted to leave, Su Wantian, who had originally planned to delay for time, unhesitatingly took the initiative to meet it.
He had never used a weapon like a spear or a staff before, but just thrusting and retracting, who wouldn't know how?
The demonic beast was solidly pierced in the wound on its waist, and blood splattered.
Its ferocity once again took the upper hand in an instant, and it fiercely turned around and swiped with its paw.
Its body was huge, and a slight movement would cover several meters.
Therefore, this paw was aimed at Su Wantian's body and not the spear shaft.
But Su Wantian, who was on guard against it, had anticipated this long ago.
The spear shaft, which he had already reserved strength for, was retracted to block on his left side, solidly blocking the blow.
His first feeling was heaviness.
It was just like a rock falling from a mountain peak, a heavy hammer striking down.
The spear shaft was instantly snapped, and his entire person was knocked to his knees, his knee emitting a crisp sound, the bone already broken from being unable to bear the force but, this couldn't kill him.
This paw had just killed the hunter with the surname Li who was wearing two layers of armor, but at this moment, it couldn't kill Su Wantian, who had never practiced martial arts.
It was already weakened beyond measure.
Su Wantian's mind was blank, almost unable to perform any effective thinking, but his body reacted a step ahead of his thoughts.
His left hand, holding the broken spear shaft, went directly into the demonic beast's mouth.
The sharp wooden stick went in vertically, firmly jamming its throat, while his right hand reached up and pierced into the demonic beast's injured left eye!
Crack, crack.
The severe pain in its mouth and eye strongly stimulated the demonic beast.
It closed its mouth regardless, and the spear shaft in its mouth pierced straight into its flesh.
Su Wantian's left arm was instantly torn open, and the demonic beast's teeth sank deep into his flesh and blood, the blood of the two mixing together and flowing out.
It struggled to shake him off, wanting to throw Su Wantian out directly, but Su Wantian's left arm, connected to his body only by bone, held him firmly onto the demonic beast, while his right hand was like a nail, searching in its eye socket that had already become a bloody hole, and found the spearhead left inside!
He grasped the spearhead, his palm pressed firmly against the wooden splinter on the broken surface of the spearhead, and he pushed down on it with all his strength.
At the same time, Su Wantian suddenly raised his head and smashed his head against the demonic beast's head!
Bang—
The demonic beast was actually knocked to the ground by this blow.
Su Wantian's blank mind also briefly lost consciousness.
One demon and one man fell to the ground at the same time, losing the strength to get up, but even so, his right hand was still firmly pressed against the tip of the spear!
Crack… Crack…
The tip of the spear rubbed against the skull, making a sharp and ear-piercing sound that made one's scalp tingle.
Sensing that death was approaching, the demonic beast, which had completely lost its strength, opened its mouth slightly, but what came out was not a roar, but an extremely weak "whimpering" sound.
It was begging for mercy.
It didn't want to die.
After so much difficulty cultivating into a demon in these mountains, after so much difficulty to no longer have to live in fear, after so much difficulty to no longer be hungry.
Why did it have to die today of all days?
Didn't I already let you go, why did you have to come back!
Why did you have to kill me!
Su Wantian groggily raised his head.
He felt as if he had heard the demonic beast's voice.
It was a voice full of incomprehensible grievance and resentment.
He felt that this was his own illusion, but he still opened his mouth and gave his answer.
“Because… if you don't die… we will have to… die…”
His entire body, except for his right hand, had lost its strength.
He was practically leaning against the demonic beast's head, next to its ear.
If you hadn't come to eat me.
I wouldn't have thought of you.
If there were no Demonic Cult members, I wouldn't have had to come and kill you.
In this world, there is always unprovoked, malice, killing intent.
They come from villains, bad people, and are aimed at good people, kind people.
But the irony is, in order to survive, good people and kind people also have to do so.
“I sometimes wonder if those bad people, villains, were also once hurt… before they became bad people, villains? You were born in the mountain forest, either you eat other animals, or other animals come to eat you. To become like this, it seems understandable… The world is like this, it's fate's doing… I…”
Su Wantian's consciousness was in chaos.
He could hardly speak in logical, fragmented sentences anymore.
After a long string of incoherent words that even he himself couldn't understand, he finally recovered a little bit of strength.
And he did not hesitate to add this strength to his right hand.
Squelch.
The tip of the spear broke through the skull.
The demonic beast's body trembled and it completely lost its life.
“Sorry……”
Su Wantian was extremely tired, but he was not willing to close his eyes yet.
The demonic beast was dead, but he and the hunters had all fallen.
Who would take its inner core, who would send it to the city?
He had to hold on a little longer.
He tried to move his body, but suddenly heard a gust of wind.
From the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, a clear breeze seemed to blow.
He only saw a figure suddenly appear in front of him, still in a white robe, with a head of gray-white long hair.
He closed his eyes in peace.
