Shen Yuan Ring

"Ow"

The tiger that had been ambushed stood up and roared. The tiger's roar was terrifying, as if it was saying who had disturbed its rest and that it was now very angry.

Ji Xiaohu's sneak attack failed, so he immediately retreated.

He wasn't stupid; the beast tiger must be quite strong to have withstood his attack so easily.

Ji Zihan and Sun Puyue were surprised to see that Xiaohu's attack was easily blocked. They did not expect that the beast tiger, which was resting with its eyes closed, could have such a sharp reaction.

“Puyu, I’ll go up and work with Xiaohu to hold off the beast tiger head-on. You look for an opportunity to sneak attack the beast tiger’s injured thigh and make its injury worse. This will give us a better chance of winning.”

After Ji Zihan finished speaking, she used the Cloud Step to get to Ji Xiaohu's side and then whispered her plan to him.

Ji Xiaohu nodded slightly upon hearing this and said, "This beast tiger is at least at the Refining Organs Realm. Although it is injured, it is not fatal. If the Jade Refining is successful, the three of us can kill it."

"I'll attack it from the right and you from the left, so it will focus its attention on the two of us and create an opportunity for the jade."

The beast tiger did not attack immediately upon seeing the two people in front of it. If it had not been injured, it would have torn the fat man to pieces without hesitation, based on his earlier sneak attack and provocation.

Its thigh is injured, and the wound has only just healed. If it fights again, the wound will definitely reopen, causing a second injury. In this Tagalag Forest of Monsters, if its injuries become too severe, it will not be far from death.

As a beast-tiger that has lived in the Tagalah Forest for many years, how could it not know what the two people in front of it were planning? So it kept thinking about how to get out of this crisis.

Ji Xiaohu stepped forward to provoke them again, and Ji Zihan was not to be outdone. The two stood on the left and right, one wielding a knife and the other unarmed.

"Seven Star Blade"

"Fire Palm"

Seeing that the beast tiger's attention was completely drawn to the two of them, Sun Puyue, who had circled around to the rear, cautiously approached, ready to strike at any moment.

The tiger was enraged when it saw the two men approaching aggressively and without any martial ethics, attacking from both sides. Its roar rang out once again.

Its entire body leaned slightly downwards, revealing sharp teeth. Before the two could get close, the beast tiger turned sideways and slashed at Ji Xiaohu with one claw.

Ji Xiaohu wasn't stupid; knowing that his strength was inferior to that of the beast tiger, he immediately switched from offense to defense.

However, he underestimated the tiger's power and was sent flying by a single claw.

Ji Xiaohu also felt a sudden pain throughout his body, and his blood and qi surged. Without thinking, he took out a pill from his storage bag and swallowed it.

"Little Tiger, are you alright?"

"It's nothing. I didn't expect this beast to hold a grudge like that. It's just that I failed to ambush it. Why does it hate me so much?"

Ji Zihan rolled her eyes when she heard this. You've already launched a sneak attack, so you can't even let the beast tiger retaliate against you?

Having learned from their previous experience, Ji Xiaohu and his companion stopped attacking the beast tiger and instead began to provoke it, moving around and attacking it. This enraged the beast tiger and threw it into disarray.

"A golden opportunity is now. The first move of the Green Bamboo Sword Technique: 'Accumulated Strength Awaits'."

The moment the beast tiger broke through its defenses and revealed an opening, Sun Puyue used her movement skills to approach the beast tiger and then used her strongest attack to strike the beast tiger's injured area.

The enraged tiger never imagined that its opponent had hidden someone to ambush it. Normally, it would be cautious in battle, but today it was completely enraged by Ji Xiaohu and his companion.

A tremendous force emanated from Sun Puyue's swordsmanship, severely injuring the beast tiger's already wounded area once again. The original claw-marked wound was blasted open into a large hole, leaving it a bloody mess from which blood flowed continuously.

"Ow"

"Ow"

"Ow"

The tiger's screams soared into the sky, and the timid beasts around it fled in terror.

The tiger, losing its balance, fell to the ground and rolled around incessantly. Ji Xiaohu and his two companions beat the injured tiger mercilessly, showering it with various elemental techniques.

The once mighty tiger never imagined that it would die such a humiliating death at the hands of three people.

Ji Xiaohu and the other two were also exhausted. They had almost used up all their internal energy in order to kill the beast tiger.

Seeing that the tiger had been killed, Ji Daoyi and Wang Dan, who were not far away, also walked over.

……

"clap clap"

"Brilliant, absolutely brilliant! Thank you, three young men, for killing this beastly tiger for us and bringing us some wealth as well."

Upon hearing the applause, Ji Xiaohu and his two companions quickly stood up, not expecting that there were other people present.

Ji Zihan said coldly, "What do you mean?"

The scarred man at the head of the group laughed loudly, "What do you mean? Haha, you really are an inexperienced newbie, actually asking us what we mean?"

"What our boss means is that your wealth and this beast are all ours, hahaha."

Ji Xiaohu threatened, "Do you know who we are? We are the Ji family of Daoshu City. Aren't you afraid that the Ji family will retaliate against you?"

Scarface patted his chest fearfully: "I'm so scared. The Ji family, one of the five great families. But so what? Here, even if we kill you all and destroy the evidence, what can the Ji family do to us? Every year, hundreds, if not thousands, of the scions of major families die here. Do they really think they're so great?"

"Besides, if it weren't for us, do you think you would have been able to find that tuft of bloody tiger fur, and have had a chance to fight this beast to a standstill?"

Ji Zihan suddenly realized: "Could it be...you guys? You lured us here so that we would kill the beast tiger and then reap the benefits?"

Scarface didn't answer directly: "It's about time, those two kids should be here soon. If it weren't for waiting for them to arrive so we could send you on your way together, you wouldn't really think we'd be chatting with you for so long, would you?"

"Really? So you're prepared to die too?"

While Scarface was mocking Ji Xiaohu and his two companions, Ji Daoyi and Wang Dan arrived at the scene.

When Ji Xiaohu saw Ji Daoyi arrive, his tense and frightened emotions calmed down.

"You all rest and recover your energy. Wang Dan, you stay here and protect them. I'll go teach them how to be decent human beings."

Scarface assumed from the tone of the voice that some powerful figure from the Ji family had arrived and was about to slip away when he saw who it was, only to realize that it was the two children he was waiting for.

Scarface said arrogantly, "So who's so cocky? Turns out it's just a little brat coming to his death. Sixth Brother, you go, loosen his muscles and slap his mouth shut."

"Yes, brother, don't worry, I will definitely let him know that we are the ones in charge in this Tagalach Monster Forest."
