The Sword-toothed Pig, whose size rivals that of a Silver-Backed Bull, charged towards Wang Ruoxie like a small mountain, unstoppable by anything in its path.
The towering trees ahead were cut down in an instant by its incredibly sharp tusks.
If Wang Ruoxie were to be pierced by those tusks, his body would likely be impaled and even split in half.
Although the Sword-toothed Pig's speed is quite average, compared to Tier Two Demon Beasts, this one is considerably faster than the previous Silver-Backed Bull.
Wang Ruoxie's eyes narrowed slightly; confronting it directly was out of the question. The sharp tusks alone could easily kill him.
Seeing the Sword-toothed Pig already upon him, Wang Ruoxie quickly retreated several steps, his bow and arrow in hand, drawing the longbow into a full circle. Then, three feathered arrows were nocked on the bowstring, his movements smooth and fluid, completed in one go.
If he didn't possess the strength of two bulls and one tiger, it would have been difficult to draw this top-grade mortal artifact level longbow.
He immediately employed the Three-Point Arrow technique, releasing three feathered arrows at once, each arrow having the same power.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"
Three consecutive sounds pierced the air, and the three feathered arrows accurately struck the Sword-toothed Pig.
The feathered arrows, made of refined steel, were extremely sharp. Given that the Sword-toothed Pig's flesh was not as tough as the Silver-Backed Bull's, the arrows easily penetrated its flesh.
"Roar!"
The Sword-toothed Pig let out a pained roar, becoming even more frenzied, its sharp tusks seeming intent on tearing Wang Ruoxie to shreds.
Wang Ruoxie naturally did not expect these three arrows to kill the Sword-toothed Pig. Immediately, with a black longsword in hand, he leapt onto the Sword-toothed Pig's back.
Without any hesitation, Wang Ruoxie gripped the longsword with both hands and thrust it down fiercely.
Angered by the severe pain, the Sword-toothed Pig frantically rammed its body against the surrounding trees, seemingly trying to throw Wang Ruoxie off.
However, Wang Ruoxie seemed nailed to the Sword-toothed Pig's back, continuously driving his sword into its neck.
A great amount of blood gushed out, and the Sword-toothed Pig fell to the ground, howling and thrashing, before eventually ceasing to move.
"Gasp!"
On a tree not far away, a warrior from the Tiger Ferocity Army watched this scene, inhaling sharply with a face full of astonishment.
When the Sword-toothed Pig first appeared, he intended to assist, as his duties included protecting Wang Ruoxie and recording his hunting accomplishments.
After all, Wang Ruoxie was the Seventh Young Master of the Marquis's Mansion; despite being unpopular, his potential death in front of him would also spell his own demise.
Yet, he realized that this Seventh Young Master, with only Body Tempering Realm Eighth Layer cultivation, did not panic in the face of the Tier Two Low-Level Demon Beast Sword-toothed Pig, but rather remained extremely calm.
Even the manner in which he killed the Sword-toothed Pig commanded the secret admiration of this seasoned Tiger Ferocity Army warrior.
He first used excellent archery to slow the Sword-toothed Pig's charge; after enraging it, he did not retreat but rather advanced, landing on the pig's back to avoid its attacks, and then used a sharp longsword to pierce its neck, eventually killing it.
Whether in temperament or combat experience, he was exceedingly exceptional, starkly different from the rumored sickly, cowardly, and self-deprecating Seventh Young Master.
"Whether martial cultivator or demon beast, they all have their weaknesses. Once found, there's a chance to kill them — using weakness to defeat strength. Although this Sword-toothed Pig is a Tier Two Low-Level Demon Beast, it posed little challenge given my current strength."
Wang Ruoxie mused inwardly. After this battle, his confidence in hunting Tier Two Low-Level Demon Beasts greatly increased.
Then he harvested the heart blood of the Sword-toothed Pig and continued towards the depths of the Cloud-Piercing Mountains.
As for the Sword-toothed Pig's corpse, he naturally didn't need to worry; the Tiger Ferocity Army warrior trailing behind him would surely tend to it.
The following period thoroughly overturned the usual expectations of that Tiger Ferocity Army warrior.
Wang Ruoxie directly faced the Tier Two Low-Level Demon Beast Violent Ape, using sheer physical strength to beat it to death punch by punch.
He then effortlessly hunted the Tier Two Low-Level Demon Beast Gale Fox with superior archery, achieving precise hits without fail.
He even killed the relatively strong Tier Two Low-Level Demon Beast Earth-Split Bear with a top-grade mortal artifact longsword, only taking slight injuries.
...
As time went on, more and more Tier Two Low-Level Demon Beasts fell at Wang Ruoxie's hands, and the Tiger Ferocity Army warrior grew indifferent to the sight.
To him, it seemed as if this prodigious Seventh Young Master didn't require his protection, for even as a Energy-Introducing Realm First Layer himself, he couldn't hunt these Tier Two Low-Level Demon Beasts as effortlessly.
Fortunately, he carried a lower-grade treasure artifact level storage pouch, or else he wouldn't have been able to store so many demon beast corpses.
"Hmm? There seems to be the sound of battle ahead."
Navigating through the dense forest, Wang Ruoxie suddenly narrowed his eyes, noting to himself.
By the look of the surroundings, a fierce fight seemed to have occurred here, with plenty of bloodstains — both demon beast blood and human blood.
He then swiftly stepped forward towards the source.
Moments later, he reached an open area, where two women battled against a Flame Tiger.
These two women, Wang Ruoxie recognized well, were the eldest lady Wang Xiuhui and the second lady Wang Xiuyan from the Marquis's Mansion, his half-sisters.
Wang Xiuhui and Wang Xiuyan were born to the first wife, making them biological sisters to Wang Ruokun.
Despite lacking much fondness for these two, Wang Ruoxie did not detest them as he did their mother or Wang Ruokun, for they did not abuse him and his mother. Also, once when Wang Ruokun mocked him scornfully, they had rebuked Wang Ruokun.
"Flame Tiger, Tier Two Low-Level Demon Beast."
Gazing at the Flame Tiger with its two-meter-high body, Wang Ruoxie mumbled softly.
The Flame Tiger, though a Tier Two Low-Level Demon Beast, was among the strongest of its kind, with power comparable to a martial cultivator at Energy-Introducing Realm Third Layer.
Furthermore, the Flame Tiger possessed not only a large physique but also fiery-red fur, appearing like true flames.
Most terrifying was how this flame-like fur was not merely visually fiery; any reckless touch could lead to burn injuries.
Wherever the Flame Tiger walked, the ground turned a charred black.
By now, Wang Xiuhui and Wang Xiuyan were losing ground; despite both having cultivation at Energy-Introducing Realm Second Layer, working together was insufficient against the Flame Tiger.
Were it not for their treasure artifact level weapons and exquisite martial techniques, they might have been slain by the Flame Tiger earlier.
"Middle grade treasure artifact, Yellow Level Middle Grade Martial Techniques."
Wang Ruoxie easily discerned the tier of the weapons and martial techniques the two women wielded.
Cultivation Techniques and Martial Techniques, Divine Techniques and Secret Techniques were divided into six tiers: Yellow, Profound, Earth, Heaven, Saint, and Divine. Each tier contained three grades: lower grade, middle grade, and upper grade, with lower grade being the weakest and upper grade the best.
