Chapter 81: Big Villain, Return My Pig Head
Deep within the Fire Boar Cave, a three-year-old child wearing a Phoenix Mask sat atop the gigantic, double-headed Fire Boar King, gripping its long tusks with one small hand and clenching a fist with the other, furiously pounding on the enormous swine's head.
"Sister! Don't kill it."
Chu Chen stood to the side, drinking Beast Milk, shouting loudly.
"I know. Its bones are very hard; a punch won't smash them."
Chu Xin nodded her little head.
Previously, she had smashed another large pig's skull with a single punch, but even after five or six punches, she hadn't crushed this pig king's skull.
Roar!
The double-headed Fire Boar King roared repeatedly, leaping up and down within the cave, continuously slamming against the cave walls in an attempt to shake off the little kid on its head.
But Chu Xin gripped the Fire Boar King's tusks tightly with one small hand, clamping down on the pig's snout with her small legs, remaining unmoved no matter how much the Fire Boar King thrashed about.
Indeed, Chu Xin's legs, exerting intense strength, actually clamped the Fire Boar King's snout so painfully that the creature was in agony.
Boom!
The double-headed Fire Boar King constantly spat out scorching fireballs from its two mouths, but these fireballs couldn't touch Chu Xin and her brother Chu Chen at all, simply continuing to smash into the cave walls, blasting out large holes.
Fortunately, the Fire Boar Cave, having endured these flames year after year, had strong resistance to fire energy; otherwise, the cave would have collapsed long ago due to the Fire Boar King's rampage.
Hidden in the shadows, Long Shaoyu gaped in awe at Chu Xin, who rode atop the double-headed Fire Boar King's head.
The double-headed Fire Boar King was several times larger than a regular Fire Boar, and its fire energy was over ten times stronger.
Even Long Shaoyu, a Fire Element Sword Cultivator, wouldn't dare to ride on the back of a double-headed Fire Boar King.
Yet this non-fire cultivator child dared to do so, boldly riding on the head of the double-headed Fire Boar King.
The blazing flames on the body of the double-headed Fire Boar King couldn't hurt the audacious child at all, a fact that was utterly unfathomable.
"How is this possible?"
Long Shaoyu's face showed shock. Could this audacious child's strength have already reached the Late Stage or even Peak Martial Saint?

Although the double-headed Fire Boar King was only comparable to a Sixth Rank Peak Martial Venerate, inside the Fire Boar Cave, its strength could match a Seventh Rank Early Stage Demon Beast.
Non-fire cultivators were greatly suppressed within the Fire Boar Cave.
To easily suppress the double-headed Fire Boar King in this cave, one must have reached at least the Late Stage, or even Peak Martial Saint.
A three-year-old Martial Saint was already preposterous.
A three-year-old Late Stage, or Peak Martial Saint, was simply impossible.
"It looks like I need to change the plan."
A sharp light flickered in Long Shaoyu's eyes; he had initially planned to wait for the Fire Boar King to kill the siblings, and then find a chance to sneak back and pick up the siblings' Sumeru Rings, obtaining the Water of Purification, but now it seemed that this plan was no longer viable.
Boom!
A thunderous noise also came from the entrance of the cave, clearly the double-headed Fire Boar group had sensed the commotion inside the Fire Boar Cave and was coming to the rescue.
Long Shaoyu glanced at the nearby Fire Boar Grass, then at the audacious child who kept fiercely swinging her little fists, pounding on the head of the double-headed Fire Boar King; he pinched a Sword technique, and a Flame Longsword cut through the air towards the double-headed Fire Boar King.
"Ai Chirou little sister, I'm here to help you."
Long Shaoyu roared, and the Flame Longsword pierced precisely into the double-headed Fire Boar King's buttocks with a whoosh.
Roar!
The double-headed Fire Boar King let out a pitiful scream, its newly regrown pig head turning around, four eyes fiercely staring at Long Shaoyu.
This despicable bastard, attacking me from behind! Unforgivable!
Ignoring the audacious child on its snout, the Fire Boar King stamped its hoof, lowered its head, and, roaring, charged toward Long Shaoyu.
The intense flame soared upwards, appearing from afar like a gigantic fireball smashing through the air.
Long Shaoyu was also strong. With a flick of his sword technique, his sword divided into countless streams of Flame Sword Energy to meet the attack, striking the Dual-headed Fire Boar King's protective shield and sizzling intensely, stuck in a deadlock.
Crack!
Just then, Chu Xin swung another punch at the head of the Dual-headed Fire Boar King, finally smashing its tough skull.
The remaining head of the Dual-headed Fire Boar King let out a piercing scream, and the flames on its body paused momentarily.
The previously deadlocked situation was instantly resolved as endless Sword Qi broke through the flame shield, penetrating the body of the Dual-headed Fire Boar King.
Accompanied by a piercing scream from the Dual-headed Fire Boar King, its body was torn into pieces by the Flame Sword Energy.
Bang!
Chu Xin's small figure landed steadily on the ground, staring dumbfounded at the king reduced to pieces, only a pig's head remaining, and suddenly burst into tears.
"Wuu wuu! My roasted pig head is gone; you big meanie, give me back my pig head!"
Chu Xin suddenly appeared in front of Long Shaoyu, her small fist smashing out fiercely with a faint glimmer of Divine Rune flickering.
Long Shaoyu was startled, hurriedly placing his treasured sword horizontally in front of him.
A loud crack was heard, and the sword that had accompanied him for over a decade was instantly shattered.
A terrifying force surged forward, sending his body flying and crashing into the cave wall with a booming sound, embedding him into it.
Poof!
Long Shaoyu struggled to crawl out from the deep crater in the cave wall, spitting out blood, his eyes flaming with murderous intent.
As the Young Master of Cangzhou, it was the first time he had been wounded, and he could hardly bear it.
But when he looked up at Chu Xin, he was immediately speechless.
At that moment, Chu Xin's eyes were tear-filled, and she was still sobbing continuously, one might think that he had bullied the child.
But in reality, it was this child who had ambushed him, smashed his treasured sword with a punch, and even landed him a blow that made him bleed.
This infuriating child was stronger than he had anticipated.
Long Shaoyu suppressed his injuries, took a deep breath, and after all, refrained from striking back, his face revealing a bitter smile as he said, "Ai Chirou little sister, why did you hit me for no good reason?"
Chu Xin puffed her cheeks, indignantly saying, "You killed my Pig King; I won't be able to eat the Pig King's roasted head anymore."
Long Shaoyu was speechless; all this was over just that, he said weakly, "The Dual-headed Fire Boar King has a Regeneration Ability. As long as both of its heads are not smashed at the same time, it can regenerate. Moreover, each time it regenerates, its strength increases. The stronger it is, the better the meat quality."
"Ah? Is that so?"
Chu Xin turned around, indeed seeing the large pig that had been torn to pieces, its body rapidly regenerating, she immediately clapped her little hands happily, "That's great; the big pig is still here."
After the excitement, she turned her head to look at Long Shaoyu, her tearful big eyes blinked twice, and said in a babyish voice, "Big brother, I'm sorry."
"It's alright."
Long Shaoyu rubbed his chest, his heart still raging with anger, but he pretended to be magnanimous.
And Chu Chen who was also ready to rush over and beat Long Shaoyu, also stopped.
"Huh? A large pig-like little grass?"
Where Chu Chen stopped, there was a small grass burning with flames, its shape resembling a greatly shrunken Dual-headed Fire Boar King.
"This grass should make a nice soup."
He muttered to himself softly, squatting down, and picked the small grass.
Suddenly, even more terrifying flames blazed on the small grass, with a roaring sound similar to that of the Fire Boar King erupting.
Chu Chen took out a bead and placed it on top of the little grass; the burning flames extinguished instantly, and he easily stored it in the Sumeru Ring.
