Eh, mitigating circumstances. All Ruby really had to do was get her scythe up under the Nevermore's neck to decapitate it and JNPR only needed to cut the Death Stalker's stinger off (the hardest material can still be broken when impacted by itself)... or throw it from a cliff. Just because it took them longer to figure it out doesn't mean the Nevermore or Death Stalker were stronger than the Ursa or Taijitu. It's not as if they hit either of them with nuke attacks.

Also, I think that's kind of an insult to Ren to say that defeating the Taijitu was easy.
