Hearing Cheng Xiaofan's words, Miao Xiuhua and Cheng Fugui looked dumbfounded. Their precious son had rushed to the new villa yesterday without resting, and then went to confront wild boars in the middle of the night?
It was fortunate that their son possessed such skills. If it were an ordinary person, wouldn't they have been torn to pieces and eaten by those wild boars?
"Xiaofan, you're too bold. What were you doing in the deep mountains in the middle of the night instead of sleeping soundly!" Miao Xiuhua took a deep breath and said.
Cheng Xiaofan chuckled, "Mom, yesterday I promised the village chief and the others that I would solve the wild boar problem today. I went into the mountains to find the wild boars' lair to understand their strength."
"Don't worry, they say cats have nine lives, but your son's life is much tougher. No matter how fierce those wild boars are, they'll only kneel before me!"
"I won't talk about it anymore. I'm going to the back mountain!"
With that, he pushed his motorcycle out the door.
Before leaving, Cheng Xiaofan turned back and looked at his father, saying, "Dad, I killed the boar king today. You are responsible for having someone retrieve its eyes and send them to Du Xiaojuan, so she can stew them for her blind mother-in-law."
"The boar king's eyes can restore sight to Du Xiaojuan's blind mother-in-law!"
"Good, good, good, I'll get someone to do this!" Upon hearing that the boar king's eyes could restore sight, Miao Xiuhua eagerly took on the task.
Du Xiaojuan was her most capable assistant at the winery. Hearing her son say this, she seemed even happier than Du Xiaojuan herself.
Just as Cheng Xiaoshan arrived at the bamboo pavilion in the back mountain and was enjoying the rich aroma of golden tea, the village had already spread the news that at exactly nine o'clock, a wild boar king weighing over two tons would personally lead the wild boars from the primeval forest to duel with Cheng Xiaofan.
Over two tons!
Just this number alone was enough to intimidate people.
What kind of wild boar could grow this heavy?
How large would that boar be?
Wild boars were already strong enough in their explosive power. If such a heavy boar went berserk, could Cheng Xiaofan handle it?
Even though Cheng Fugui was usually a man of few words, when he spoke of this matter, he was truly eloquent and incredibly infectious.
Some villagers asked why the boar king from the primeval forest was challenging Cheng Xiaofan to a one-on-one fight.
Cheng Fugui immediately replied, "That boar has become sentient! It calculated that the most powerful person in the village is my son, Xiaofan."
"It believes that to dominate Zhuxi Village, it must first eliminate my son. Without getting rid of him, it can't possibly lead those boars into the village!"
When the villagers heard this, they were instantly enraged. Someone shouted, "We can't let Cheng Xiaofan fight alone! Everyone, bring your shovels and other tools. Even if we can't help, we can cheer him on!"
"It's almost nine o'clock. Let's all go!"
As the entire village mobilized, Long Xingyun, Jiang Xueyan, the Shui Huli combination, and even Bai Jianshan had also arrived.
Cheng Xiaofan lay in his rocking chair, having drunk three cups of golden tea from his space. He stretched his arms and legs, and seeing that it was not far from nine o'clock, he leaped up from the rocking chair.
"Kuaihu!" he exclaimed.
Kuaihu, in the local dialect, meant "awesome" or "great."
When his gaze accidentally swept past the window, his expression changed.
He saw his father leading the entire village, marching rapidly towards here.
Alas!
Dad, what are you doing?
Do you think sheer numbers can scare those wild boars?
Once the wild boars go mad, these people wouldn't be enough for the boar king to trample!
*Swish!*
Cheng Xiaofan dared not delay. Like a cannonball, he shot out of the window.
*Boom!*
He landed directly in front of the crowd, the solid ground beneath him cracking into a pit more than ten feet deep.
Then, Cheng Xiaofan leaped out of the pit.
Cheng Fugui and all the villagers were stunned into silence.
Was this even human?
Who had ever seen a person fly?
And who had ever seen a person stomp a perfectly good ground into a pit more than ten feet deep?
But!
If Cheng Xiaofan wasn't human, then what was he?
"Dad, where's the convoy of carts you were supposed to call?"
For the first time, Cheng Xiaofan lost his temper at his father. "Why did you bring so many people from the village? If someone gets killed, can you take responsibility?"
"I said, I can handle those wild boars by myself. You just need to drag them back, clean them up, and then stew them for meat!"
"Child, this is not your father's fault. We just came to cheer you on!" Bai Jianshan bowed to Cheng Xiaofan, a smile on his face.
Long Xingyun and the others, seeing their master's anger, were so frightened they retreated, not daring to show their faces before Cheng Xiaofan.
Upon hearing Bai Jianshan's words, Cheng Xiaofan sighed and said, "These wild boars are different from usual. With the boar king backing them, they are very aggressive. The more people there are, the more it will incite their ferocity, and then the villagers will be harmed."
"Everyone, listen to me. During my fierce battle with the boar king, no matter how dangerous the situation gets, no one is allowed to step forward, nor make any shouting sounds."
"We understand!" The villagers nodded in agreement after hearing Cheng Xiaofan's explanation.
Cheng Xiaofan beckoned to Long Xingyun and said, "Long Xingyun, you guys also stay out of it then. I can handle those wild boars by myself. You just wait to eat meat and drink soup!"
"Understood, Master!" Long Xingyun and the others responded.
Only these cultivators knew how capable their master was. If they went up, they would only become a burden to him.
*Boom!*
As soon as he finished speaking, countless wild boars suddenly rushed out from the dense forest in the distance, a vast, surging mass, like a broken dam releasing floodwaters, their momentum incredibly fierce.
The entire ground trembled.
Leading the charge was the boar king.
When the villagers saw the boar king, their faces turned pale with fear.
They finally understood that what Cheng Fugui had said about the boar king was not exaggerated in the slightest.
At the same time, they finally understood why Cheng Xiaofan had suddenly become so angry.
If the villagers were to directly confront these wild boars, they would not be enough for the boar king to trample.
"Roar—"
The boar king saw Cheng Xiaofan from afar and let out a piercing roar that split the heavens.
Cheng Xiaofan's lips curved into a playful smile, and he leaped into the air, flying across. The villagers below were once again stunned into speechlessness!
Cheng Fugui's eyeballs nearly fell out.
He even foolishly wondered in his mind, is this my son?
If he is my offspring, how can he fly?
I wonder if Miao Xiuhua's ears are burning at home?
If she knew Cheng Fugui's inner thoughts, she would surely twist his ears off.
*Boom!*
At this moment!
Cheng Xiaofan landed steadily opposite the boar king.
