Chapter 23: Captured Alive

  Two swift punches, right in the middle of two large wild boars. With two loud and shrill squeals, the two wild boars heavily fell to the ground, kicking their four hooves a few times before dying on the spot.

  The killing power of the wild boar is not something that a small wild boar can compare to, so Zhao Ji's punches were much heavier when he struck, and he directly killed them.

  Five wild boars were instantly resolved by Zhao Ji, leaving only one small wild boar, which still charged forward with a fierce momentum.

  A dozen or so villagers, armed and ready to strike, were about to make their move when a pack of wild boars was suddenly taken down, four at once.

  The remaining little wild boar, which didn't have much killing power at all, suddenly made Zeng Yu, Zeng Da Zhuang and the crowd of villagers relax.

  "Everyone be careful, this last little piglet should be taken alive."

  Zhao suddenly spoke out loud.

  The scattered villagers, after hearing Zhao Ji's words, began to gather and quickly formed a circle of encirclement, surrounding the little piglet inside, blocking all directions for it to break through.

  Zeng Da Zhuang held a long gun in his hand, and together with a villager, they happened to block the way of the small wild boar. The two long guns crossed each other, blocking its path forward.

  Ono Buta's charging speed is too fast, and even if he wants to stop, he can't. Even if there are obstacles ahead, he will only charge forward recklessly.

  One head crashed into the intersection of two long spears, generating a tremendous force that sent Zeng Dazhuang and the villager's body retreating backwards in succession.

  Although it was a small wild boar, when it charged with all its might, the impact force generated was not something that ordinary people could withstand. Neither Zeng Dashuai nor the villager were born with superhuman strength, so how could they resist?

  Just as the two were about to be overturned, Zhao Ji rushed over in time and jumped onto the back of the small wild boar with a single leap.

  With a burst of strength, he clamped his legs tightly around the wild boar's back and clasped his hands together to press down on its neck. In this moment, Zhao Ji transformed into a knight - a wild boar knight.

  A half-large wild boar, enraged, although its strength was not weak, but under Zhao Ji's hands, it really couldn't stir up any waves.

  I felt someone on my back, although the little wild boar jumped and bounced around, trying to shake off the person on its back. However, as time passed, it not only failed to do so but also felt an increasingly heavy weight on its back, until finally, it became unbearable.

  Unable to withstand Zhao's increasingly forceful restraint, Xiao Zhu fell to the ground with a thud, lying flat on his back.

  At the moment when Xiao Ye fell to the ground, Zhao's right hand pressed against the wild boar's neck, and with a burst of strength, his body soared into the air.

  When the wild boar fell to the ground, Zhao Ji's body dropped down and he sat on the boar's belly with a thud. His hands moved forward and backward, respectively holding down the boar's front and back legs.

  "Ah..."

  The little wild boar refused to be bound, and with a fierce struggle it got up, but fell into Zhao Ji's hands. Where could it turn over? It had no choice but to pull its throat and howl.

  "Big Brother Zhang, quickly get a rope and tie up this wild boar."

  Zhao Ji beckoned to Zeng Da Zhong.

  Hunting wild boars, rough hemp ropes are indispensable. Under Zhao Ji's orders, Zeng Daizhuang hastily called up four or five people and rushed over.

  Zhao Ji let go, and before the wild boar could even get up, the five villagers had already taken action, pressing it down together. Then, the five men worked together with Zeng Da Zhuang to tie up the wild boar.

  "Alright, it's settled."

  Clapping his hands together, Zhao Ji revealed a triumphant smile after achieving great success.

  "Brother Zhao, you're awesome! We haven't even started yet, and you've already taken down five wild boars by yourself, either capturing or killing them. That's incredible!"

  Zeng Yu ran over from the side, stretched out his thumb to Zhao Ji, and exclaimed in admiration.

  Knowing that Zhao Ji was a martial artist, he suspected that he might not be simple and had extremely strong strength. However, since he had never really seen Zhao Ji take action, Zeng Yi's heart would have some worries, fearing that he couldn't deal with the wild boar.

  But unexpectedly, Zhao Ji's strength was much more formidable than he had imagined. Facing the fierce charge of five wild boars, with just a few light and casual moves, he took down all five wild boars, either capturing or killing them.

  "This is nothing, even if the wild boar is fierce, it's just a beast. As long as one's martial arts skills have reached the gate, they can easily kill it."

  He waved his hand and said with an air of nonchalance.

  What Zhao Ji said was not just boasting. In the past, as a special soldier, before he had cultivated his internal energy, he could take down a large wild boar by himself.

  After cultivating the Divine Illumination Scripture, after the internal energy entered the gate, killing wild boars came naturally without any pressure; and now, his internal energy cultivation has already crossed a threshold, transcending a realm, dealing with wild boars, only then did it seem effortless.

  "Alright, since the wild boar problem has been solved, let's head back. You all look exhausted, this time you can have a good sleep."

  Zhao Ji smiled and said as he swept his gaze over the crowd with bloodshot eyes.

  More than a dozen villagers automatically formed groups of three or four and lifted the wild boar, following Zhao Ji and Zeng Yu to return to Zengjiacun Village.

  Overnight, they harvested five wild boars, and all the villagers were delighted, with a joyful atmosphere on their faces. At the same time, all the villagers looked at Zhao Ji's gaze, containing many complex emotions, including surprise, admiration, and awe.

  Back in the village, the dark night dissipated, and a hazy white light appeared on the horizon, clearly indicating that dawn was about to break.

  "Zhao brothers, what about these wild boars? Otherwise, shall we deal with them first?"

  Zeng had stayed with Zhao Ji and inquired about it.

  "No need, you all go rest first, sleep for a while, the wild boar will be sent to Zeng Lao's place, and deal with it after waking up."

  With a wave of his hand, Zhao Ji said resolutely.

  "Alright then, let's go to sleep first."

  He let out a yawn and nodded in agreement.

  For several nights, apart from Zhao Ji, more than a dozen villagers had their faces filled with drowsiness. On the way back, perhaps because they had caught the wild boar and relaxed, one by one, they yawned continuously. If not for still needing to carry the wild boar back to the village, Zhao Ji was certain that they would have fallen asleep halfway.

  "Well then, let's part ways here, Zhao brother. I've troubled you for the past few days because of village matters, and it's been a hassle for you, so you should get some rest too."

  Zeng Yu's face was filled with gratitude as he spoke to Zhao Ji.

  "Zeng, don't be so polite. Between us, there's no need for such formalities. Hurry back to bed and get some rest."

  Zhao Ji smiled and said.

  "Brother Zhao, thanks a lot today, I represent Zengjiacun village to thank you."

  Before leaving, Zeng Dashuai also came to thank Zhao Ji sincerely.

  A dozen or so villagers took turns coming forward to thank Zhao Ji Duo, their tone extremely sincere, their eyes filled with gratitude and reverence.
