Becoming a Saint From the Iron Armor Skill

Chapter 384: Chapter 198: Capturing a Tiger with Great Force

Luo Mingyu possessed the power of Bone Forging Realm Perfection and was one of the mainstays of the Shen Family’s Demon-slaying Team.

He could travel through the mountain forest faster than the two Shen sisters. If he went himself, he could find Chen Cheng more quickly, ensuring nothing went wrong.

After a moment of contemplation, Liu Yongzhen shook his head. "For a Muscle Strengthening Realm Martial Artist, Evil Tiger Ridge isn’t exactly a perilous place.

Miss Qingyao and Miss Qingshuang are Bone Forging Realm Martial Artists. Sending them is already a bit of an overreaction.

There’s no need for you to go, is there, Patriarch Luo?"

A man of Luo Mingyu’s standing naturally understood the crux of many matters.

The Shen Family held him in such high regard not merely because of his Bone Forging Realm Perfection power.

The primary reason was that Mr. Zheng of the Zheng Martial Arts Hall had experienced a sudden, powerful rise, and the Shen Family intended to grow closer to him.

And Mr. Zheng’s Closed-door Disciple, Chen Cheng, was undoubtedly the very link that maintained the relationship between the Shen Family and Mr. Zheng.

The fact that Shen Qingyao and Shen Qingshuang were so anxious further confirmed Luo Mingyu’s suspicions.

From Luo Mingyu’s perspective, he also didn’t want any harm to befall Chen Cheng during this demon-slaying expedition.

Otherwise, when Mr. Zheng returned to Linji City, he would have no way to answer to him.

"You’re right, Elder Liu. This is a matter for the younger generation. If I tag along, I’ll seem far too restless," Luo Mingyu said with a smile.

With the two Shen sisters on their way, Liu Yongzhen felt reassured. He gave Luo Mingyu a meaningful look and also chuckled, "Your eagerness to help the younger generation comes from a good place, Patriarch Luo.

But you can’t force these things. We ought to give the young ones more opportunities.

As a Purple-clothed Guard of the Demon Suppression Department and a Muscle Strengthening Realm Martial Artist, Lord Chen should be getting more experience anyway.

He possesses Muscle Strengthening Realm power. Even if he’s surrounded by ferocious beasts and the Red-eyed Striped Tiger, he’ll be injured at worst. He won’t end up in a tiger’s maw."

"Elder Liu is absolutely right," Luo Mingyu nodded. Inwardly, however, he hoped Chen Cheng wouldn’t be too reckless and get himself injured.

He wasn’t the only one; the other Bone Forging Realm experts largely thought the same.

...

「Deep within Evil Tiger Ridge.」

As two Red-eyed Striped Tigers let out earth-shattering roars, the beasts in the forest grew increasingly frenzied.

More and more beasts burst from their hiding places, stampeding toward the two forest areas where the scent of the Beast-Attracting Incense originated.

The beasts, as if driven by some command, began to form a loose encirclement around those two parts of the forest.

Their goal was to surround the prey that had appeared in these woods and then hunt them down.

Among them were striped tigers, Barbarian Bears, leopards, and wild wolves in packs of three to five—all of them incredibly ferocious beasts.

In total, there were likely two to three hundred beasts.

RUMBLE!

Accompanied by the heavy thud of a falling tree, a massive Barbarian Bear roared and charged toward the large tree where Liu Ruolan was perched.

At the base of that tree, the Beast-Attracting Incense smoldered, releasing a steady stream of blue-green smoke and its thick, peculiar aroma.

Before the Barbarian Bear could even get close, an arrow shot out from a neighboring tree, whistling through the air as it flew toward the beast.

THWACK!

The arrow, forged from Refined Iron, sank precisely into the Barbarian Bear’s chest, right below its shoulder and into its heart.

THUD!

The Barbarian Bear’s massive body carried it forward a few more steps before it slammed violently into a tree trunk.

Little Divine Arrow Liu Ruofeng had killed the Barbarian Bear in a single shot, but his expression was grim, devoid of any joy.

From a nearby thicket, a leopard and five wild wolves burst forth. Further in the distance, a striped tiger weaved swiftly between the trees.

Suddenly, the entire forest erupted with the roars of beasts. The sounds came from all directions, seemingly surrounding them.

Their positions had been arranged around the Beast-Attracting Incense, creating a convenient kill zone for their prey.

But now, they were the ones being surrounded!

"Fall back, now!"

Liu Ruofeng made an instant decision and barked the order.

With their Martial Arts Power, they weren’t afraid of being surrounded by numerous beasts, but with a Red-eyed Striped Tiger lurking in the shadows, the situation was undeniably dangerous.

The danger would multiply after nightfall, when their vision would be impaired while the mountain beasts, with their superior night vision, would have the advantage.

Someone could easily get hurt, and the risk wouldn’t be worth the reward.

"Let’s go!" Liu Ruolan was just as decisive. With a shout, she leaped down from the tree, extinguished the Beast-Attracting Incense, stowed it away, and led the charge toward the outer edge of Evil Tiger Ridge.

The other three quickly leaped down from their trees and followed close behind.

The five wild wolves, startled by their sudden appearance, roared and charged.

Liu Ruolan moved with incredible speed. Her longsword flashed out, piercing the lead wolf’s heart. She withdrew the blade in a single motion and swept it sideways, decapitating another.

The remaining three wolves were dispatched by Zhan Xinwu and the other two members of the team.

For Muscle Strengthening Realm Martial Artists, killing beasts like wild wolves was child’s play.

Just then, the leopard leaped high into the air and shot toward Liu Ruolan’s back.

It was far faster than any of the wolves.

Hearing the whistle of air behind her, Liu Ruolan remained calm. She spun around, whipping her longsword in an upward slash aimed straight for the leopard’s heart.

But the leopard was surprisingly capable. Mid-air, it kicked hard off a nearby tree trunk, changing its trajectory to dodge her longsword.

At the same time, it swiped its sharp claws toward Liu Ruolan’s heart.

The forest was dense with trees and overgrown with thorny brush.

That upward slash had already been a stretch for Liu Ruolan. When she tried to change her move mid-motion, she found her longsword blocked by the surrounding trees, unable to move freely.

Still, she didn’t panic, instead surging forward abruptly.

The leopard’s claws, whistling with vicious force, raked against a nearby tree trunk, tearing off a large chunk of bark.

It grew even more frenzied. Just as it was about to roar and pursue Liu Ruolan, a long saber suddenly slashed down from the side.
