Ning Xiang observed the male owl bear for a moment before taking out a jade flute. "We can face that beast together, but I'm not a close combat fighter, so you two should attack it, and I'll use my flute to distract it. However, you guys should be careful, especially since we don't know for sure his mental strength, so I don't know how long my sound techniques can distract him."
"All right." Mu Lingshu immediately drew her white sword, and Luo Yu used her hardened silver threads as a weapon. After that, the two rushed to attack the male owl bear, and Ning Xiang also started playing her flute to disturb his concentration.
*Clang*
"Roar!"
Even though the owl bear felt dizzy from Ning Xiang's sound attack, he still managed to deflect Mu Lingshu's sword with his long and sturdy claws.
The owl beast wanted to counterattack Mu Lingshu, but Luo Yu immediately entangled both of his arms with her silver thread as she stepped on his back. She tried hard to pull his arms backwards, but his strength was much greater than hers, so she had difficulty doing so, which enraged him further.
"Roar!"
*Swoosh*
However, a sound wave shot towards the beast before slicing his chest, leaving a deep wound on his chest and causing him to stagger backward.
Without thinking twice, Luo Yu immediately stomped her legs onto the owl bear's back to get away from him. She also used her silver thread to attempt to knock him down, but he responded by stomping his right foot on the ground to support his massive body.
When Mu Lingshu saw this, she immediately thrust her white sword towards the owl beast, but the thickness of his skin prevented her sword from injuring him.
"Roar!" The owl bear let out an angry roar and exerted his strength, causing Luo Yu's silver threads to break. He immediately swung his right arm towards Mu Lingshu in an attempt to attack her.
"Watch out, Sister Lingshu!" Luo Yu called out as she stabilized her body on the ground.
"I know." Mu Lingshu swiftly jumped away from the owl bear, and she slashed her sword at him at the same time. Instantly, two white crosses swiftly shot towards him, but he immediately crossed his arms in front of his body to ward off her attacks.
*Slash... Slash...*
Unfortunately, the owl bear's skin was extremely thick, and Mu Lingshu's attacks only scratched his skin and had no significant impact on him. Her attack made him even more furious, so he opened his mouth wide before attacking her with a loud roar. "Roar!"
*swoosh*
The owl bear's mouth sent out a sizable shockwave towards Mu Lingxhu, and his attack was too fast for her to dodge, throwing her quite far back.
When Ning Xiang saw that, she immediately jumped down from the top of the tree, caught Mu Lingshu, and carried her up the tree. Luo Yu also immediately moved to their side. "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Mu Lingshu replied softly as she wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth. "Anyway, there seems to be something strange about this owl bear. His cultivation appears to be merely a disguise to deceive us, particularly considering that his recent attack matched the strength of a cultivator at the 9 or 10 Star Core Realm, and his skin is so thick that my sword cannot pierce through it.
However, your sound attack seems to have a big effect on him, so I think it would be better if we attacked him from a distance."
"Yes." As she observed the owl bear, Ning Xiang nodded in agreement, and she thought of a way to take him down as soon as possible.
Even though the beast's name is owl bear, he can't fly like an ordinary owl because his body is too big and his wings are too small to support it.
Luo Yu raised her eyebrows before conveying her idea to them. "How about we contact Zhang Fei [1]? He won't have any trouble taking him down, so we can go carry out other missions as soon as possible."
"No." Ning Xiang and Mu Lingshu immediately rejected Luo Yu's idea. "The three of us are cultivators, so we can't keep relying on Zhang Fei [1], and we have to fight on our own to take down this beast."
Suddenly Du Yuan and Gu Yan landed on another tree branch after they heard the sound of fighting from that location, and then they looked at the owl bear, who was angrily walking towards the tree where the three women were hiding.
"Wow! An adult owl bear is really strong! Even you three haven't managed to take him down yet." Gu Yan spoke as she pulled out her shotbow, loaded it with several arrows, and positioned herself to fire at the beast. "Let me try attacking him."
After encasing them in her qi, Gu Yan immediately fired her arrows toward the owl bear, but his tough skin deflected them. "Shit! His skin is really thick and tough."
"That's true. I'm not sure if my spear can penetrate his skin, so we have to be careful." Du Yuan then turned to the three women. "Do any of you have any ideas? We'll waste a lot of time if we attack this beast from a distance, especially since only Ning Xiang's sound attacks are effective against him."
"No." They answered Du Yuan with a shake of the head, and Ning Xiang then said to her. "At first, we intended to attack him using long-range attacks by relying on my sound techniques, but you are right that it would take too much time."
[Yes, Sir!]

[Hahaha! She is your sister-in-law, Master.]
'I didn't expect to meet Qingyu's second daughter in a place like this.' Zhang Fei [1] responded with a slight nod before speaking to Chu Xing. "I have long heard about you from your mother and two sisters, but I didn't expect that we would meet in a situation like this, sister-in-law."
Hearing that, the second woman looked at Zhang Fei [1] for a moment before turning to Chu Xing. "Do you know her, Xing'er?"
"No, I've never seen his face before, Sister Wei Luan." Chu Xing then pointed to her own face as she asked Zhang Fei [1]. "Do you know me? Why did you address me as your sister-in-law? We've never even met before, and my two sisters aren't married either."
"Haha." Zhang Fei [1] laughed when he heard that. "It seems your mother hasn't told you about me, huh? Hey, I am married to Chu Ying and Chu Qing, so you are my sister-in-law, right?"
