The sharp Invasion Blade plunged in under the wild boar's left foreleg. When Zhao Jun yanked it out, a jet of blood shot out with the blade.
SPURT...
SQUEAL...
The sound of gushing blood mingled with a pained squeal. Zhao Jun immediately followed up with another stab, this time plunging the blade under the boar's right foreleg.
As he withdrew the blade, unleashing another spray of blood, the wild boar collapsed onto the snow, its body twitching uncontrollably.
The old-timers used to say that whether human or animal, as long as the body is whole and unbroken, it contains a kind of energy called a life force.
If you cut the body open with a blade, this life force will leak out from the wound. That's what they mean by a grievous blow to one's life force.
