I only want to retrieve the top-grade primordial divi...Princess Jiujun wasn't the first time to participate in Wangshan hunting, so she knew quite well the approximate activity area of the ferocious beasts.

"Right ahead is Tiger Roar Slope. I passed by there before and heard the roar of a Sabre-toothed Red Tiger. But, the Sabre-toothed Red Tiger is a level one middling monster, even fiercer than an Iron Hide Ox. With my strength, I couldn't possibly kill it, so I didn't provoke it." The Ninth Princess said.
Zhang Ruochin and the Ninth Princess dismounted from their elk mounts and cautiously walked into Huixiaopo, searching for traces of the saber-toothed red tiger.
On the ground, Zhang Ruochin discovered traces of a fight.
A tree trunk, about the width of a bowl, was snapped in half. Its leaves were burned to ash, and bloodstains remained beside a large rock nearby.
"Could someone have beaten us to it, and the saber-toothed tiger already been hunted" asked the Ninth Princess.
Zhang Ruochin shook his head and said, "That's not the blood of a saber-toothed tiger, it's human blood. Be careful, the saber-toothed tiger should still be nearby!"
"Ha!"
As soon as Zhang Ruochen's voice fell, a crimson giant tiger pounced down from the steep slope above, its sharp claws reaching for Zhang Ruochen's neck.
Zhang Ruochin was a powerful cultivator who had reached the peak of the Heavenly Extremity Realm in his previous life. Even after being reborn, his soul and spiritual power remained at the level of the Heavenly Extremity Realm's perfection. Therefore, he possessed an extremely keen sense of danger.
Right before the saber-toothed tiger pounced, he immediately shifted one step to the right, dodging the attack of the saber-toothed tiger.
Not only that, but he immediately drew a thunderclap arrow from his quiver and infused it with true qi. With a flick of his wrist, he plunged the arrow into the saber-toothed tiger's belly.
Then, his feet pressed against the ground, and he immediately retreated backward.
The entire process happened in the blink of an eye. Before Princess Jiu could react, Zhang Ruochin had already thrust the驚雷箭 (Jīngléi jiàn) into the Jianchi Chihu's abdomen.
"Bang!"
The Thunderstrike Arrow exploded on impact, blasting a palm-sized wound in the Sabertooth Tiger's abdomen. Blood flowed steadily from the gaping hole.
But, that bolt of lightning arrow was ultimately just Zhang Ruochin inserting it into the body of the Jianchi Red Tiger. It wasn't as powerful as the impact force of the iron wire bow being fired.
Therefore, the Thunder Arrow only penetrated three inches beneath the Tiger King’s hide, failing to inflict a fatal wound.
"Aw!"
The saber-toothed tiger's body was three times larger than that of an ordinary tiger. Its mouth was lined with two rows of razor-sharp teeth, half a foot long each, and its claws were like blades.
The saber-toothed red tiger possesses an attack power comparable to that of a martial artist at the peak of the Yellow Extremity Realm, and its speed is also on par with them. For ordinary martial artists, encountering a saber-toothed red tiger is practically a death sentence.
Seeing the saber-toothed tiger standing ten meters away, the Ninth Princess's face turned pale.
That was a savage beast comparable to a martial artist of the Grand Extreme level. Even at such close range, the Thunderclap Arrow couldn't exert its true power.
Bows and arrows are more suitable for long-range attacks.
Here we go!
She immediately drew out a Thunderclap arrow, nocked it onto her bowstring, and pulled the iron-wire bow taut until it resembled a full moon.
"Whoosh!" Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The Sky-Piercing Lightning Arrow was like a bolt of lightning, shooting out at high speed.
The saber-toothed red tiger leaped into the air, dodging the thunderbolt arrow's attack with incredible speed.
It instantly rushed across ten meters, reaching the Ninth Princess's side. With a swipe of its claw, it sent the iron-string bow in the Ninth Princess's hand flying away. It bared its blood-filled maw and lunged towards her.
The Ninth Princess immediately rolled over and leaped backward. She pointed at the ground with her finger, then leaped again, reaching seven or eight meters away and dodging the saber-toothed tiger's attack.
However, the saber-toothed tiger's speed was actually a few points faster than that of the Ninth Princess. In an instant, it caught up to her and swung out a huge paw, striking towards the top of the Ninth Princess's head.
The cultivation level of the Nine Princesses was only just entering the Zhongji realm. Whether it was strength or speed, she was still a notch lower than the Saber-Toothed Red Tiger.
Even from a distance, she could use her Thunder Arrows to pose a significant threat to the Sabertooth Tiger.
A palm strike landed on the Jianchi Scarlet Tiger's neck, shattering its windpipe with the force of a blade.
After his trachea was shattered, the saber-toothed tiger trembled all over. Though it managed to crawl back onto its feet and rammed through the forest for a while, it finally collapsed and died.lestial being is nothing short of foolish."Zhang Ruochin knew very well the anger burning in Xutian's heart. He knelt on one knee and apologized: "Senior Xutian, you have insight into all things, seei...
