Chapter 2088

On the dueling platform, seeing that this disciple of the Dao One Immortal Sect was the first to strike.

But he didn't go after the person; instead, he went straight for the two magical beasts.

Seeing this, everyone from the various major sects present was completely baffled—wasn't this just creating trouble for himself?

Everyone knows that when facing a cultivator who practices beast‑taming arts, the simplest and most convenient method is to capture the leader first.

Once the master is taken down, isn't the beast‑pet bound to collapse without attack?

Conversely, if one attacks the beast‑pet, the master can then have plenty of time to unleash beast‑taming techniques.

One must know that the Yu Shou Fa cultivated by beast‑taming practitioners is not merely for controlling the beast‑pet.

Many Yu Shou Fa essentially serve to establish a bond between master and beast‑pet.

Besides making daily control easier, in battle one can also use Yu Shou Fa to boost the beast‑pet's combat power.

So whenever there's a chance, one will surely try every means to seize the master first.

This is no longer a matter of experience; it's pure common sense.

Yet this disciple of the Dao One Immortal Sect did the opposite—he didn't strike at the Wan Shou Immortal Sect disciple but instead aimed at the two magical beasts, which is utterly absurd.

Only the disciples of the Dao One Immortal Sect know what he's thinking; they're all envious and jealous—how did he end up facing a Wan Shou Immortal Sect disciple? Isn't that just dumb luck?

Not yet realizing the seriousness of the situation, upon seeing the Dao One Immortal Sect disciple's move, the Wan Shou Immortal Sect disciple couldn't help but sneer—it's sheer stupidity.

But since he's seeking death himself, there's no blaming him.

As he spoke, the Wan Shou Immortal Sect disciple formed seals with his hands and directly unleashed the beast‑taming arts.

In an instant, the two already murderous magical beasts saw their aura surge again, climbing steadily.

This is the effect of the beast‑taming arts—it boosted the strength of those two magical beasts.

With a roar, the two magical beasts showed no fear of the Dao One Immortal Sect disciple; facing the attack, they charged straight at him.

The next second, the one person and two beasts immediately went into battle.

One had thought the Dao One Immortal Sect disciple would fall into a bitter struggle, even suffer outright defeat.

After all, his choice was a grave mistake.

But as the two sides fought fiercely, everyone gradually noticed something was off.

"This disciple of the Dao One Immortal Sect has grown stronger again."

"Had he not yet gone all out before?"

"He must have been hiding something."

As the saying goes, without a diamond drill, who would dare take on porcelain work? If one lacks absolute confidence in their own strength, how could they act so recklessly?

Precisely because he had absolute confidence of victory, the Dao One Immortal Sect disciple dared to act so recklessly.

Moreover, because his strength is formidable, the foolish choice that everyone had thought of just now is no longer an issue at all.

The choice may be foolish, but with sufficient strength, any approach leads to victory.

This is what is meant by 'one force subdues ten.'

And the Wan Shou Immortal Sect disciple naturally also sensed that something was wrong.

Even with the beast‑taming arts boosting them, his two beast‑pets, in the hands of that Dao One Immortal Sect disciple, still gained no advantage.

On the contrary, they were completely suppressed from the start, and before long, both beast‑pets were injured to varying degrees.

Although these two beast‑pets showed no retreat or fear despite their wounds,

if this continues, defeat is merely a matter of time.

Thinking this, the Wan Shou Immortal Sect disciple's face darkened instantly—this guy had actually been hiding his strength.

But just as he was stunned, the Dao One Immortal Sect disciple seized the opportunity and thrust his sword straight into the heart of one of the magical beasts.

That's a vital spot; a stab there would likely kill that beast.

The dense sword intent and sword light surrounding the blade were enough to instantly slay that magical beast.

Seeing his own magical beast about to be slain, the Wan Shou Immortal Sect disciple panicked.

This guy actually intends to deliver a killing blow.

Only now did he belatedly understand what the opponent's earlier question meant.

What does 'can the beast‑pet be killed?' mean.

It turns out this guy had been aiming for his beast‑pet from the start—he wants to kill his beast‑pet.

No wonder he didn't attack him at first but went for the two beast‑pets.

Upon confirming this, the Wan Shou Immortal Sect disciple's mind went into a panic.

But before he could speak, the long sword had already viciously pierced the heart of that magical beast.

With a mournful wail, the sword intent on the blade frenziedly destroyed the vitality within its body.

Suffering damage to such a vital spot, even if this magical beast had tremendous vitality, it now hardly has any chance.

Its breath instantly grew faint, and its vitality rapidly waned, dissipating away.

However, after succeeding, the Dao One Immortal Sect disciple did not choose to stop; instead, he turned his target directly to the other magical beast.

He intends to kill both of them.

Seeing him draw his long sword, radiating a murderous aura as he charged at the other magical beast, the Wan Shou Immortal Sect disciple panicked completely.

One beast‑pet is already dead, the other is about to be lost; without time to think, the disciple immediately shouted.

"Stop, release it."

But facing his shout, the Dao One Immortal Sect disciple had no intention of heeding it.

"Release it? What a joke—it's already on the chopping board; how could it still run?"

These two magical beasts are fine; one can tell they've been carefully selected—if they went into Ye Zhangqing's big pot, they'd surely be an absolute delicacy, not to be missed.

Therefore, facing the Wan Shou Immortal Sect disciple's roar, Tang Shī xiōng had no intention of stopping at all.

Not only did he not stop, his speed increased a bit more.

Because this guy probably thinks he's going to surrender.

What caught Tang Shī xiōng off guard was that he had already increased his speed, but hadn't yet had time to act, when in the next second he heard that Myriad Beast Immortal Sect disciple shout loudly.

"Surrender, I surrender, let it go."

"Elder, save my Shòuchǒng, I've already surrendered."

That Myriad Beast Immortal Sect disciple was also resolute; seeing Tang Shī xiōng completely ignore his meaning, he immediately chose to surrender.

Just as his words fell, Tang Shī xiōng still didn't stop, and continued straight toward the second Shòuchǒng.

This sight made that Myriad Beast Immortal Sect disciple's eyes almost burst; this beast, even after surrendering, won't you stop?

He naturally heard those words, but this was meat already at his lips; Tang Shī xiōng naturally couldn't possibly let it go so easily.

Right now, as long as this sword thrust goes in, another beast will be in hand; then going to Elder Yè Chánglǎo will be a great merit.

So Tang Shī xiōng also steeled himself, his speed not decreasing but increasing, and he quickened his steps a bit more.

In panic, that Myriad Beast Immortal Sect disciple directly chose to seek help from the Elder serving as referee on the platform; these Dao One Immortal Sect people are crazy.
