```
The Nether Panther's head caved in instantly.
Blood flowed!
But the beast quickly reacted, its sharp claws raking towards Ye Feng!
"Ao wu! Wu!"
More painful matters arrived.
Ye Feng grasped the oncoming claw of the Nether Panther and then viciously twisted it!
The Nether Panther yowled in pain!!
Zhu Zhuqing's eyelids twitched wildly!
Mentor, so strong!!
Barehanded claw catching!
He broke the beast's leg as if snapping a dry twig.
"???"
The Zhu Zhuqing before him was dumbfounded.
What's happening.
Why did Mentor just throw the Nether Panther away?
Wasn't I supposed to kill it and take its Soul Ring??
"Your turn to show off. Your task tonight is to kill this two-thousand-year-old soul beast,"
Ye Feng said to Zhu Qing in front of him.
The reason he had crippled the Nether Panther's leg and injured it was to create an opportunity for Zhu Qing to hunt it herself.
"Young Master Ye, should I do it myself?"
Upon hearing Ye Feng's words, Zhu Zhuqing seemed almost in disbelief.
"Correct, one must kill their own soul beast. This Nether Panther is now within your capabilities,"
Ye Feng told Zhu Zhuqing.
He wouldn't allow her to reap rewards without effort.
Moreover, this was a training for her!
"But that's a two-thousand-year-old soul beast..."
Zhu Zhuqing was slightly panicked.
It wasn't exactly panic, rather a bit of self-doubt.
"If you want to become stronger and want me to continue teaching you, then you'll have to kill this soul beast. Hurry up and make a move. If you don't act now, the Nether Panther will escape,"
Ye Feng said, looking at Zhu Zhuqing.
This was also a kind of assessment for her!
"Yes!"
Zhu Zhuqing's gaze suddenly became resolute!!
The next second, she charged out.
First, she used the spirit energy fusion to perform Wind God's Steps, the movement technique taught by Ye Feng.
Then she pursued the Nether Panther.
She was about to catch up with the Nether Panther.
Suddenly, Zhu Zhuqing realized she had lost sight of her target!!
At night, the Nether Panther merged with the darkness.
The best way to determine its location was by the pair of green-glowing eyes.
If it closed its eyes,
it was as good as disappeared!
Especially when the creature stood still, blending seamlessly with the night.
Unless one bumped into it, it was impossible to find!!
This is why hunting the Nether Panther at night was a hundred times more difficult than during the day!
"Nether Panther, you can't hide, First Soul Skill, Hell Rush."
Zhu Zhuqing unleashed her soul skill!
Her claws suddenly extended, speeding up and wildly slashing around!!
She saw the Nether Panther vanish right here not long ago.
The dense forest towers, almost impenetrable to the moonlight.
The whole place dark as a small box.
"Puff!"
Suddenly, a pair of green eyes flared open behind her!!
Launching an attack directly at Zhu Zhuqing.
The sharp fangs aimed straight for Zhu Zhuqing!
It was the prey, yet it sought to be the predator!!
It deliberately chose this pitch-dark location with the intention of hunting Zhu Zhuqing.
It admitted that the human just now was a freak it couldn't kill,
and exceedingly ferocious at that.
But this woman was within its ability to overcome.
Taking her down would be a piece of cake!!
"Ah—"
Zhu Zhuqing cried out in pain!!
"Second Soul Skill, Hundred Hell Claws!!"
```
Zhu Qing never expected that she would actually be ambushed!
The massive biting force made her feel as if her body was being torn apart!!
So she quickly deployed her second soul skill!!
Her clawed hands extended swiftly, frantically clawing at the Nether Panther's eyes!!
The Nether Panther had just been injured in one eye, and now, it was struck in its painful spot again!
It immediately yowled in pain and released its grasp!!
And at that moment, Zhu Qing's body spun like a tornado with incredible speed!
The so-called Hundred Hell Claws relied on the fast spinning of the body to produce sharp piercing attacks with the claws.
It could unleash hundreds of attacks in the same spot on the enemy in an extremely short time, with incredible speed and destructive power.
In less than a tenth of a breath,
The Nether Panther's body was marked by hundreds of scratches!
But Zhu Qing was also not in a good state.
She had just been bitten on the shoulder.
At this moment, blood was gushing out!
But all things considered, she was lucky, as the Nether Panther had barely missed her major artery!
"Ao ao!!"
The Nether Panther roared furiously.
Then, it attacked Zhu Qing again.
Zhu Qing saw that its eyes had turned blood-red.
Clearly, the Nether Panther was enraged!
But she, Zhu Qing, was furious as well!!
The confrontation between the two ensued!!
Zhu Qing executed the Wind God's Steps, staying elusive at the side of the Nether Panther.
Without employing Soul Power, she managed to evade several attacks from the opponent.
With the use of her Soul Power, she could launch continuous attacks on the Nether Panther,
Hitting her target with virtually every strike.
But the Nether Panther was after all a two-thousand-year-old soul beast.
A two-thousand-year-old soul beast's power ranged from that of a human Soul Elder to a Soul Ancestor.
This Nether Panther was equivalent to a Soul Ancestor level.
Even though it had been injured by Young Master Ye,
As the saying goes, even a thin dead camel is bigger than a horse.
Its defense was incredibly strong.
Despite her numerous attacks, not once did she deal a fatal blow to it!
At most, they were merely deeper than superficial wounds!!
She must attack the same spot numerous times to inflict a fatal injury!
"Ao!!"
The Nether Panther naturally knew the human's intentions!
In that instant, it fought back desperately!
The battle lasted for a full two hours.
From eleven o'clock till one o'clock!
Zhu Qing was covered in injuries.
While the black Nether Panther's skin had turned into a net of wounds!!
Each gash was ghastly to behold!
And they were still bleeding!!
"Don't run!!"
After two hours of battle, the Nether Panther knew it couldn't continue fighting this human, because even if it killed this woman, it would end up severely wounded.
In the perilous Sunset Forest, being gravely injured was almost no different from death.
It had to find a place to heal its wounds.
So it decided to flee!!
But this was the prey Zhu Qing had fought so hard to injure.
How could she let it escape that easily?
She immediately gave chase.
Despite her fatigue, she clenched her teeth!
In just two days, she had witnessed Young Master Ye's strength.
If she wanted to stay by his side, to survive the family's assessment, she had to pass the current test!!
Time ticked away second by second.
Meanwhile, Ye Feng was simply following behind.
"I believe you can do it, keep it up."
He saw Zhu Qing's determination to become stronger.
This battle was far more fierce than he had imagined, it could even be described as shocking.
Time passed quickly.
Now, in the distant part of the Sunset Forest, a faint red glow had already appeared.
It was sunrise.
