Chapter 42: Encounter
The boar landed with a thud that shook the surrounding region.
Without giving the boar any time to regain its senses, Adrian leaped onto the now exposed underside of the boar and started throwing repeated punches towards the chest without holding anything back.
Blood splattered as his fist penetrated the beast's skin. Cracking sounds could be heard as his punches soon landed on the rib cage before promptly breaking them.
He only stopped when his punch landed on the beast's heart and shattered it. The light faded from the boar's eyes before its body finally went limp. It was dead.
Adrian heaved a sigh before jumping down from the beast's body. He was about to store it in his storage ring when he noticed a few presences that were approaching him at full speed. From their rapid footsteps, he knew that they weren't magical beasts, but rather humans.
His body tensed up as he immediately drew his sword and readied himself for a battle.
After a few moments, five figures appeared from the fog while staring at Adrian with a curious look on their faces.
They could sense his cultivation level, so they weren't worried about him. They couldn't see his face because he had quickly drawn up his mask before they arrived.
Adrian stared at the new arrivals in silence. From their robes, he could see that they were disciples of a sect, but he didn't know which one. His knowledge of the powers in this region was still shallow.
