Chapter 2087: Can Beast Pets Be Killed?

The disciples of the Dao One Immortal Sect now have only one thought: to obtain the quota for this Four Sect Sword Discussion would be a huge gain.

As of now, they have already eaten enough to break even; winning also comes with such rewards, leaving no regrets.

They spent the night in silence, and early the next morning the Four Sect Sword Discussion continued.

The number of participants was half of yesterday's, but the battles were even more intense.

Those who managed to pass the first round were all outstanding individuals.

And on this day, the rewards prepared by Ye Zhangqing were naturally even more abundant.

It was no longer ordinary rations, but a delicacy he had made himself overnight the previous day.

The ingredients were carefully selected, and the flavor was surely better than rations by a good margin.

After the first-place disciple won and Ye Zhangqing gave out the reward, all the disciples' eyes turned red.

"This... isn't rations, it's a special stove?"

"We must win today."

"Why hasn't it been my turn yet? Who arranged the order?"

In that moment, the disciples' fighting spirit rose another notch, and they wished they could go on stage right now to fight three hundred rounds.

Feeling the vigorous fighting spirit from the Dao One Immortal Sect side, the people of the other three sects furrowed their brows, wondering what mischief the Dao One Immortal Sect was up to again.

How could the aura be even richer than yesterday's? It's simply outrageous.

They couldn't help but become wary; they were genuinely somewhat frightened by the Dao One Immortal Sect, this bunch was really sinister.

As each disciple of the Dao One Immortal Sect went on stage, victory after victory was taken again.

More than half of the disciples had already comfortably enjoyed the special stove, which was a true happiness.

And as Shī xiōng Tang went on stage, his opponent was a disciple from the Myriad Beast Immortal Sect, whose strength was not bad, making him a strong contender for victory.

He had already attracted attention yesterday, and his bouts were swift and decisive victories, his performance extremely eye-catching.

The two went on stage, and the Myriad Beast Immortal Sect disciple immediately released his shòuchǒng.

Two beasts, entirely black-furred, emanating an evil aura, were magical beasts.

In the Immortal Realm there are demonic beasts, immortal beasts, and magical beasts.

So-called magical beasts are demonic beasts that have fallen into the demonic path; their bloodline power is pure, they are naturally belligerent and bloodthirsty, though their intelligence is somewhat low.

In the Immortal Realm, the greatest threat to humanity is the magical beasts.

After all, they are stronger, basically able to match immortal beasts in strength.

Seeing the Myriad Beast Immortal Sect disciple actually release two magical beasts, everyone present whispered among themselves.

"These two magical beasts are not weak; yesterday they nearly severely injured their opponent."

"That's only natural, after all magical beasts are hard to tame; although their combat power is great, without superb beast‑taming skills one can easily be backlashed by one's own beast."

"There are not few examples of magical beasts backlashing their masters."

"That's also true."

"There are pros and cons, but if one's beast‑taming skill is high, then magical beasts are undoubtedly the best choice, nothing else, because their combat power is strong."

"At the same realm, demonic beasts certainly cannot compare with immortal beasts or magical beasts—this is beyond doubt."

"Moreover, immortal beasts are fewer in number than magical beasts, let alone the fact that taming immortal beasts is more difficult; but once tamed, their loyalty is excellent."

"Conversely, magical beasts are easy to tame, but they can easily turn on their master; each has its own advantages and disadvantages."

"Senior Brother Dao, my two shòuchǒng are innately bloodthirsty; if I strike too hard during the match, I hope you will be forgiving, be careful, and surrender early."

Looking at Shī xiōng Tang, the Myriad Beast Immortal Sect disciple said this lightly, as if wanting to first establish dominance.

Having these two shòuchǒng, he did not fear Shī xiōng Tang; but upon hearing his words, Tang's gaze went back and forth over the two magical beasts.

His gaze was strange, then he turned his head to ask the Elder of the Immortal Sword Sect beside him.

"In the sword discussion, one may not injure people—do the beasts count?"

"Huh???"

Upon these words, the Myriad Beast Immortal Sect disciple and the Immortal Sword Sect Elder were both stunned, wondering what this meant.

"The Four Sect Sword Discussion aims for mutual exchange and practice, so naturally one must not endanger lives; both sides strike only to the point of contact."

"However, whether beasts are included—....................."

After regaining his composure, this question left the Immortal Sword Sect Elder bewildered.

"He had never encountered such a thing before, and there was no precedent; do the beasts count or not?"

Just as the Elder didn't know how to answer, the Myriad Beast Immortal Sect disciple replied.

"Of course they don't count, fellow Daoist—just go all out; after all, my two magical beasts are extremely ferocious, and if you don't give your all, you may hardly be able to defend yourself."

As he spoke, the Myriad Beast Immortal Sect disciple's eyes were full of pride and mockery.

He appeared utterly confident of victory, certain that Shī xiōng Tang would surely lose.

However, regarding this, Shī xiōng Tang showed no anger at all; on the contrary, upon hearing the disciple's words, a smile appeared on his face and he spoke excitedly.

"Is that really true?"

"Huh???"

Although somewhat taken aback, not knowing what this guy was excited about, the Myriad Beast Immortal Sect disciple still nodded and replied.

"It is indeed true; in any case, you just be careful and seek your own fortune."

"Then I can rest easy."

Saying this, Shī xiōng Tang looked again at the two magical beasts, his eyes completely veiled by greed.

He secretly thought.

"Look, look, what fine ingredients—of the same grade as immortal beast ingredients; if I bring them back and give them to Elder Ye, wouldn't that be another great achievement?"

"Such ingredients should be used to humiliate my Dao One Immortal Sect."

The two magic beasts aren't very bright, but instinct still makes them feel extremely ill at ease under Tang Shī xiōng's gaze.

Isn't that the way they look at prey? What does this human intend to do?

Feeling agitated, the two magic beasts gradually grew furious, roaring repeatedly at Tang Shī xiōng, unable to restrain themselves from wanting to attack and break free from their master's control.

Noticing the abnormality of the two magic beasts, this disciple of the Myriad Beasts Immortal Sect also grinned.

"It seems they don't like you very much."

"Before the fight even started, his own Shòuchǒng had its eyes on him; later he'll be badly injured, missing an arm and a leg, and that won't be his own fault."

"For us beast tamers, it's normal to be unable to control our own Shòuchǒng."

"Hearing that, Tang Shī xiōng said indifferently."

"No problem, come on."

On the platform, Tang Shī xiōng actively charged at the two magic beasts.

Normally, one should attack the master at this point, after all, to capture the bandit you must first capture the leader.

But Tang Shī xiōng seemed to have no interest in that disciple of the Myriad Beasts Immortal Sect, heading straight for the two magic beasts from the start.

Seeing his chosen target, the people of the other sects on the Viewing Platform doubted.

"Is this kid out of his mind? Fighting a beast tamer, not trying to capture the leader first, but instead hitting the Shòuchǒng—what does that mean?"

"Yeah, taking down the master would have ended it right away; earlier there was the initiative, but it was completely wasted."

"The people of the other sects are completely bewildered, while the fellow apprentices of the Dao One Immortal Sect can't help but secretly curse."

"He got a bargain again— not only can he win a match, but he can also get two ingredients; why haven't I run into a disciple of the Myriad Beasts Immortal Sect?"
