There was no help for it. With Ouyang Qian’s strength as a peak Rank 5 Martial General, his full-force strikes with the halberd against the hide of the Tier 4 Low-Grade Iron-Backed Rhinoceros were little more than a tickle. Had it been his younger brother, Ouyang Kun, perhaps he might have managed to inflict a few minor lacerations.
However, once the weak points of the Tier 4 Low-Grade Iron-Backed Rhinoceros were discovered, the situation changed. As Ouyang Qian wielded his halberd, he focused his attacks specifically on the beast's belly and its hindquarters. Soon, emboldened by the fight, Ouyang Qian utilized agile martial techniques to strike continuously at those vulnerable areas.
An hour later, dozens of small holes, each about ten centimeters deep, had appeared on the belly of the Tier 4 Low-Grade Iron-Backed Rhinoceros. The constant bleeding made the beast increasingly irritable. Fortunately, thanks to the creature’s desperate efforts to protect its hindquarters, it suffered no further injuries there—a mercy, for the sheer misery of such an affront would have been unbearable. After all, once bitten, twice shy; it had decided that aside from its master, no one would ever touch its hindquarters again.
