The young man held a black dagger in his hand and swiftly charged toward his opponent. This action surprised the massive beast before him, yet also delighted it. Just as Yan Xiaobao was about to reach the beast, he abruptly changed direction, darted to its side, and dived under its claws, lunging forward with immense force capable of killing it instantly.
Though the attack carried great force, Yan Xiaobao knew the risk was equally high. While the beast was still able to move, it had exposed its entire flank to Yan Xiaobao. Without waiting for a better opportunity, he stabbed the dagger into its tough hide. The blade pierced through and sank into its flesh.
The wound wasn't deep enough to be fatal, yet it was still a wound. As blood surged out of its side, the beast's pained screams resounded like sharp cries. Using its mist-like energy to stem the bleeding, the beast now appeared more agonized than ever, hatred and fury gleaming in its eyes.
