God Emperor

Zhang Ruochen made careful calculations before deciding to hunt the Green Fire Deer.

With his current cultivation level, there is indeed a huge disparity in strength between him and Qinghuo Deer. Moreover, he cannot use real weapons because the Flash Soul Sword and Shen Yuan Ancient Sword are placed in the inner space of the space-time crystal.

Once used, the space-time crystal will be exposed.

If it were any other first-level beast, Zhang Ruochen wouldn't have any chance of winning.

However, the Green Fire Deer is different. The Green Fire Deer's advantage lies in its speed, and its attack power and defense are far inferior to other first-level superior beasts.

Zhang Ruochen's advantage is that he has the mental strength and rich practical experience comparable to that of a Dzogchen warrior in the Heavenly Realm. He can predict the attack direction of the Green Fire Deer in advance and make the most flexible response.

Therefore, the terrifying speed of the Green Fire Deer may not necessarily be able to crush Zhang Ruochen.

"Roar!"

Zhang Ruochen took the initiative and roared at Qinghuo Deer, as if provoking him.

"Wow!"

The Green Fire Deer was enraged, and the flames on its body burned even brighter, turning into a green afterimage. In an instant, it rushed in front of Zhang Ruochen and slammed into him.

The moment before the green fire deer rushed over, Zhang Ruochen kicked off his legs, and with the help of elasticity, he rushed up to a height of more than seven meters.

"The flying dragon is in the sky!"

The surging true energy circulated rapidly in the eleven meridians, and Zhang Ruochen's body seemed to emit a low-pitched dragon's roar. The strength of his muscles and bones was mobilized, and he struck with a sudden palm.

However, the Green Fire Deer was too fast. Zhang Ruochen's palm did not hit it, but hit it on the ground.

"Wow!"

A green shadow flashed and appeared in front of Zhang Ruochen. The green antlers above his head hit Zhang Ruochen's chest.

Zhang Ruochen slapped his palm again and fought the Green Fire Deer head-on.

"Bang!"

A powerful impact came from the palm of his hand, and Zhang Ruochen's right arm immediately lost consciousness.

Zhang Ruochen quickly backed away and looked at his right arm. He saw that the palm of his right hand was burned by the flames on the Green Fire Deer, and even his sleeves were burned to ashes, exposing his wrist and arm.

The true energy circulates in the meridians, and the numb arm gradually regains consciousness.

"Squeak!"

The green fire deer attacked again and appeared in front of Zhang Ruochen in an instant.

At this moment, the Ninth Princess standing in the distance shot two thunder arrows in succession, both of which were aimed at the eyes of the Green Fire Deer.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

The Green Fire Deer reacted very quickly and used the hard antlers on its head to fly away the two thunder arrows.

"The wild beast gallops across the ground!"

Zhang Ruochen saw the opportunity, rushed forward, and used the impact of his body to strike out again, bursting out with the power of sixteen oxen, hitting the green fire deer on the head.

The Green Fire Deer let out a mournful cry, and a bloody seam appeared on the top of his head. He was seriously injured and his reaction became sluggish.

"Pfft!"

Taking this opportunity, the Ninth Princess opened her bow and fired the last thunder arrow, which accurately penetrated the green fire deer's left eye.

"Bang!"

The arrowhead of the thunder arrow exploded, and the left side of Qinghuo Deer's head was blown to pieces, and his eyeballs turned into a ball of blood mist.

Zhang Ruochen rolled over, reached the body of the saber-toothed red tiger, and broke a half-foot-long sharp tooth in the tiger's mouth.

The green fire deer who was seriously injured also extinguished the green flames, turned around and ran away.

Zhang Ruochen grabbed one of the sharp teeth of the saber-toothed red tiger, as if holding a short blade, and suddenly kicked on the tree trunk, using the elasticity of the tree trunk to leap up.

"Pfft!"

The sharp tiger teeth penetrated directly into the green fire deer's eyebrows and penetrated the green fire deer's head.

"Bang!"

The Green Fire Deer struggled twice, and finally fell to the ground, dying.

Zhang Ruochen pulled out the tiger's teeth and inserted them into the green fire deer's abdomen, completely ending its life.

The Ninth Princess rushed over immediately and looked at the body of the Green Fire Deer on the ground. She still couldn't believe what was happening in front of her. "Ninth Brother... you killed a first-class savage beast."

Zhang Ruochen stared at her, stood up, simply bandaged his burned palms with a piece of cloth, and said, "It's not me, it's us."

The Ninth Princess naturally knew that she was not of any help. If Zhang Ruochen hadn't slapped the Qinghuo Deer on the head, slowing down the Qinghuo Deer, it would have been impossible for the thunder arrow she shot to hit the Qinghuo Deer. Deer eyes.

Of course, she was still very happy. After all, she participated in hunting that first-level superior beast, and she succeeded.

The Ninth Princess was so excited that she immediately rushed towards Zhang Ruochen and hugged Zhang Ruochen.

"Ninth brother, we are simply the best fighting partners, we work together so well!"

Her pair of soft jade arms tightly hooked Zhang Ruochen's neck, almost knocking Zhang Ruochen to the ground.

Zhang Ruochen raised an arm, pressed the shoulder of the Ninth Princess, kept a certain distance from her, and said calmly: "We should go back!"

When the Ninth Princess saw Zhang Ruochen's indifferent expression, she stamped her feet, frowned, and said, "I'm your sister, and I won't eat you. Do I need to look disgusted all the time?"

Zhang Ruochen walked out of Huxiao Slope, turned over and rode on the back of the gazelle horse, stared at the Ninth Princess, and said: "Let's go!"

The Ninth Princess rolled her eyes, put her hand on Zhang Ruochen's palm, landed behind Zhang Ruochen, stretched out a pair of jade arms, hugged Zhang Ruochen's waist, leaned her delicate and beautiful face on Zhang Ruochen's back, and teased: " Your Highness the Ninth Prince, please take your beautiful sister and leave this place full of killings!"

Zhang Ruochen shook his head gently, and immediately rushed out of the dense forest on his antelope horse, heading towards the royal family's military field.

…

Twenty-six of the forty-three young warriors who participated in the hunt have returned to the royal family's martial arts field, and only seventeen have not returned yet.

The warriors who have not returned at this time either accidentally died in the mouth of the beast, or they have not yet hunted the beast.

"Min'er, how was the harvest this time?" asked Concubine Huo, the biological mother of the fifth prince.

The fifth prince had a confident smile on his face and said: "Reporting to my mother, you can rest assured. This time in the Wangshan hunting, there will definitely be no better results than mine!"

"This is the best." Concubine Huo nodded and smiled.

Lin Fengxian also cast an inquiring look at Lin Nianshan and said, "Shan'er, this is your first time to participate in Wangshan hunting. You must have encountered a lot of difficulties, right?"

Lin Ningshan shook her head and was very confident, saying: "Hunting in Wangshan is easier than I imagined. There are no difficulties. I am confident that in this round of assessment, I will definitely be able to enter the top ten."

Lin Ningshan glanced in the direction of Wang Shan, and when she saw that Zhang Ruochen still hadn't come back, she became even more proud, and thought to herself, "It seems that he hasn't hunted the beast yet. After all, he has only been practicing martial arts for three months. Heavenly materials and earthly treasures can increase strength in a short period of time, but they cannot improve a person's combat experience."

At this moment, Concubine Lin also became nervous and stared in the direction of Wang Shan with longing eyes.

Afterwards, the young warriors who participated in the hunt came back one after another.

Most of the faces of the young warriors who came back at this time were expressionless and sad. It was obvious that they had not hunted any wild beasts in King Mountain.

"Why haven't the Ninth Prince and Ninth Princess come back yet? Don't let anything happen."

Everyone began to worry. After all, during previous hunting trips to Wangshan, young warriors were killed by savage beasts.

Prince Yunwu frowned slightly and immediately sent people into Wangshan Mountain to find the Ninth Prince and Ninth Princess.

Suddenly, a voice rang out from the crowd, "Back! The Ninth Prince and Ninth Princess are back together!"

Concubine Lin, Lin Ningshan, the other princes and princesses all stared in the direction of Wangshan, and saw the ninth prince and the ninth princess riding together on a horse, galloping from a distance.

Returning to the royal martial arts field, Zhang Ruochen and the nine princesses jumped off the backs of the antelope horses and walked towards Prince Yunwu.

"Meet the king!" Zhang Ruochen said.

"Meet my father!" said the Ninth Princess.

Princess Yunwu laughed loudly and said, "Jiu'er, why are you riding with Xi'er?"

The Ninth Princess spoke first: "Father, my Ninth Brother and I were attacked by iron-skinned bulls in King Mountain. My mount was seriously injured, so I can only ride an antelope horse with my Ninth Brother."

Prince Yunwu stared at Zhang Ruochen and said, "Jiu'er, is that so?"

"Yes." Zhang Ruochen said.

Prince Yunwu nodded, stared at Zhang Ruochen's injured right arm, and said: "Jiu'er, after all, this is your first time to participate in Wangshan hunting, your first time to fight against wild beasts, and besides, you were just three months ago. Turn on the Mark of Divine Martial Arts, and don’t be too discouraged even if you don’t hunt wild beasts.”

"I see!"

Zhang Ruochen didn't explain, he just said lightly.

The Ninth Princess's lips moved, but in the end she didn't say anything.

The sixth prince and the fifth prince were very happy when they saw Zhang Ruochen's injured appearance.

The corner of Lin Ningshan's mouth curled up slightly. In the last round of strength assessment, Zhang Ruochen indeed stole the show, but when it came to actually fighting against the beast, he was still far behind!
