บท 60: Third-Tier Fierce Beast, Defeated in One Punch

"Roar!"

The Evilfire Flowing Cloud Tiger roared and chased after Wen Qingxue.

Jokingly, it thought that it could escape after scratching me? I, the Evilfire Flowing Cloud Tiger, won't allow that!

However, Wen Qingxue paid no attention to it and went straight in Jiang Heng's direction.

She knew that with Jiang Heng's strength, that big tiger had no chance of catching up to her.

"Big White Cat, don't bother chasing, or you'll lose your life!"

She even turned back and looked at the ferocious white tiger, chuckling.

Jiang Heng clenched his fist, his figure moving forward to confront the massive white tiger.

The power of the Third-Flesh Realm, after the amplification of the Heavenly-ranked introductory technique, the Poxian Fist, erupted with a resounding blow.

This punch was Jiang Heng's most powerful outburst since his consecutive breakthroughs.

Combined with the power of True Qi at the tenth level of the True Qi Realm, this punch was extraordinary.

As the terrifying impact struck the Evilfire Flowing Cloud Tiger's enormous paw, a formidable shockwave spread wildly in all directions.

Branches swayed, and weeds rustled.

The Evilfire Flowing Cloud Tiger at the center of the shockwave trembled violently, bleeding from its seven orifices, its eyes dim.

It lost consciousness instantly.

Its enormous body crashed heavily to the ground, and the surrounding trees even trembled slightly from the impact.

"This..."

Bu Hanyi couldn't help but widen her eyes in disbelief, watching this scene.

When Jiang Heng said he could defeat a third-tier fierce beast, Bu Hanyi could barely believe it.

But what she saw now, a one-punch kill, completely exceeded her imagination.

This wasn't a case of fighting above one's level; it was more like a high-level beating a low-level, a completely overwhelming victory.

"Brother Jiang Heng is amazing!"

Wen Qingxue didn't seem surprised at all. She walked over to Jiang Heng's side, crouched down, and touched the soft tiger skin.

"This tiger skin is so big; we'll probably have to make a trip back to the sect. The loot bag can't hold it all."

Bu Hanyi also came over, still showing amazement in her tone.

"This is such a huge intact tiger skin, and it's from a third-tier Evilfire Flowing Cloud Tiger. Its contribution must be substantial."

She placed the loot bag in her hand to the side and started processing the corpse.

However, processing a third-tier fierce beast with such robust flesh took nearly half an hour.

By this time, the sky had already started to darken, and under the towering trees, it appeared even dimmer.

"It's not easy to navigate in the dark. How about we find an open space to rest for the night and head back tomorrow? What do you think?"

Bu Hanyi suggested after finishing her work.

"Good idea!"

"Let's return to the river we passed by earlier and rest there!"

The three immediately set off.

After dark, the forest would become almost pitch black, and even with Jiang Heng's company, safety couldn't be guaranteed.

So, the three dared not linger any longer. Following their memories, they ran towards the river.

By the side of a small river, a fox with fiery red fur was crouching, drinking water. When they heard the sound of three people leaping out of the woods, it immediately turned its head.

Under the cold moonlight.

This fiery-red fox squinted its eyes, and its fluffy fur seemed to emit a hazy glow in the moonlight, creating a dreamy beauty.

"This is the Evil Eye Fox, a second-tier ferocious beast. Its claws contain a hallucinogenic toxin. If you get scratched, your reactions will slow down. Be careful," Bu Hanyi explained immediately.

Jiang Heng looked at Wen Qingxue and said, "Shall you go first?"

Wen Qingxue, however, was staring at the Evil Eye Fox with stars in her eyes and excitedly said: "This fox is too cute!"

"Jiang Heng, brother, you should go first. Don't damage its fur."

At this moment, sensing ill intentions from the three, the Evil Eye Fox fiercely bared its teeth, revealing a mouthful of menacing sharp fangs.

Then, it turned into a fiery-red blur and fled in another direction.

Extremely fast but still elegant.

But Jiang Heng was faster.

Almost with just one movement, he caught up to the Evil Eye Fox, and with a reach of his right hand, he attempted to capture it.

The Evil Eye Fox reacted extremely quickly, and its fluffy tail wrapped around Jiang Heng's wrist.

With a twist and a pull.

Trying to throw Jiang Heng's body far away while using the force to continue escaping.

But in the next moment, the Evil Eye Fox felt its tail firmly grasped, and then, a powerful force pulled on its body through the tail, pulling it backward.

Its entire body instantly lost control and shot backward.

The fiery-red fluffy fur was pressed tightly against its body due to the intense wind pressure.

Then, a sudden and severe pain coursed through the Evil Eye Fox, and it lost consciousness completely.

Jiang Heng held the limp body of the Evil Eye Fox and walked over to the two.

"This fur is indeed good, soft and delicate. It should fetch quite a few contribution points."

Wen Qingxue quickly took the body of the Evil Eye Fox.

"This fur belongs to me!"

Jiang Heng and the others didn't bother arguing, they watched Wen Qingxue eagerly skinning the fox, removing flesh, tendons, and various fat deposits, and then applying preservative powder.

After a simple process.

Wen Qingxue spread out the soft fur of the Evil Eye Fox in front of her, admired it for a while, and then put it in a package.

The three of them cleaned up by the river, each finding a slightly larger rock, and sat down cross-legged.

It was their first time camping in the wilderness, and Wen Qingxue was still excited, looking up at the starry sky, her eyes full of longing: "This world, this night, it's so beautiful!"

Bu Hanyi, on the other hand, looked at the sky without any sentiment. After swallowing a Qi and Blood Pill, he closed his eyes and began to cultivate.

This was the internal cultivation method of the "Primordial Genesis Art." Just sitting cross-legged allowed cultivation, albeit slightly less efficient without accompanying martial arts movements.

With their current martial arts realm, as long as there wasn't excessive consumption, they could go for several days and nights without rest.

Jiang Heng, unusually, didn't cultivate and sat not far from Wen Qingxue, chatting casually.

The next morning.

When the sky was barely getting light, the three of them set off back to their sect.

Arriving at a corner of the mission hall, a place specifically responsible for receiving collected items, Jiang Heng placed the package on the table.

"Hello, I'm selling the fur of ferocious beasts. Please appraise the prices."

The young steward behind the table opened the package and carefully examined each piece.

"Purple Moon Wolf fur, well-preserved, 15 contribution points, seven pieces, a total of 105 contribution points."

"Shadow Leopard fur, quite damaged, 10 contribution points."

"Crimson Flame Hound fur, quite damaged, 10 contribution points."

"Evil Eye Fox fur, this is a good one, well-preserved, 20 contribution points."

"Is this... fur from the Evil Fire Flowing Cloud Tiger?"

"Yes, it's very intact, worth 150 contribution points."

"Adding it all up, it's a total of 295 contribution points, I'll give you 300 contribution points."

The young man was clearly very skilled in his job. After examining each piece of fur, he not only accurately identified them but also provided quick and decisive valuations.
