"A few trees dare to stand in our way? Dream on!"
The saint beast who had spoken first raised its claw and slashed down.
Its claws were incredibly sharp, comparable to Great Sage artifacts. As it slashed down, the surrounding space trembled, and several pitch-black spatial rifts appeared.
The claws and teeth of saint beasts were top-notch materials for forging Great Sage artifacts. On top of that, this fellow was on par with the Five Monarchs. Even Sempiternal realm consummation master teachers would find it hard to withstand its attack.
Under normal circumstances, such sharp claws should have been able to sever the tree branches easily. Yet, before it could even reach the tree branches, a resounding 'pah!' suddenly sounded.
A green mark had already appeared on the saint beast's face. A tree branch had appeared out of nowhere and struck its face.
"Roar!"
The excruciating pain spurred the saint beast to swipe its claws once more. Despite its incredible speed, the tree branch was even faster. Every single swipe of the tree branch struck an area where it was defenseless. In just a few swipes, its skin was already lacerated, and fresh blood flowed from its wounds.
Seeing that their leader was being whipped, the remaining saint beasts hurriedly rushed forward to help. Tree branches flew in the air, and it did not take long for them to be whipped to the ground.
"This …"
Upon seeing this sight, everyone's eyebrows twitched uncontrollably.
Due to their innate talent, saint beasts were far stronger than ordinary cultivators in the first place. Yet, even with so many of them charging forward, they were still being pummeled by a single tree …
"Hehe!"
Seeing this sight, the scholarly young man, Yan Xue, chuckled softly before closing his eyes.
"Should we make a move?" A young man asked with a hushed voice. "If we can save them at this moment, we might be able to win their gratitude and successfully tame them!"
Those saint beasts had been pummeled badly. If they were to step forward to save them, it would be easy for them to win their goodwill and accept them as their tamed beasts.
"There's no need for that. Putting aside whether we'll be able to save them or not, even if we are able to, we have already become enemies with them for not stopping them earlier!" Yan Xue shook his head. "Besides, these apricot trees are only there to stop us. They won't kill us, so don't worry!"
"Alright!"
The young man nodded.
Earlier, when the Saint Beasts had charged over, they had not stopped them. Now that they had been slapped so badly, it was inevitable that they would feel a little resentful toward the Saint Beasts. If they were to step forward now, they would not be able to do anything. In fact, they might even be implicated by the Saint Beasts.
"Those saint beasts won't be able to get away. Once we succeed, they'll surely follow us obediently, and we won't be able to chase them away no matter what!"
Yan Xue chuckled softly. Just as he was about to continue speaking, a young man suddenly stepped forward from the back of the crowd.
Hu!
In the blink of an eye, Zhang Xuan was already standing right above the Saint Beasts. With a flick of his wrist, he formed several thin threads that bound the Saint Beasts together before pulling them out of the Apricot Tree's range of attack.
"Thank you for saving my life …"
Knowing that the young man was trying to save them, the beasts turned to look at him gratefully. Yet, before they could even finish their words, the young man had already charged forward.
Crackle!
A flurry of punches and kicks.
"…" The many Saint Beasts.
The Hundred Schools of Philosophers and the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe were also dumbfounded.
They had thought that the young man had saved the Saint Beasts to express his goodwill and recruit them, but who would have thought that he would just beat them up instead?
The Apricot Trees also glanced at one another in confusion. They had intended to teach Zhang Xuan a lesson, but at this moment, they could not help but retract their branches.
They had thought that they were saving the Saint Beasts, but who could have thought that they would be beating them up instead? Could it be that they were not satisfied with our beating? Do you want to give it a try as well?
"This is our chance!"
Recovering from his shock, Yan Xue smiled confidently. "Those saint beasts are being beaten up for no reason, so they must be feeling resentful toward us. As long as we step forward and persuade them, we should be able to win their gratitude and tame them!"
"Yes!"
Hearing those words, the crowd nodded in agreement.
The saint beasts here had all reached Sempiternal realm consummation. Taming any one of them would be able to raise their fighting prowess significantly, and they would be able to raise their standing significantly when they returned to the Hundred Schools of Philosophers.
"Let's head over!"
Unable to hold themselves back any longer, the young men leaped forward and charged toward the young man who was pummeling the Saint Beasts with their swords.
"What are you all waiting for?
"It can be considered fate that we've met here. My holy beast friends, we can't just watch as you're being bullied and do nothing!"
"My fellow saint beasts, I'm here to save you!"
The young men bellowed with righteous voices, exerting an irrefutable pressure on those around them.
"They sure are smart. Through their words, the saint beasts will surely feel grateful toward them. With their first impression of them, it'll be much easier to tame them later on …"
Yan Xue's lips curled up as he was just about to continue speaking when his eyes suddenly widened in shock. With an expression as if he had seen a ghost, he cursed, "The heck! What's going on? "
Before the sword qi of his companions could land on the young man who was pummeling the Saint Beasts, the Saint Beasts who were being pummeled suddenly flew into a rage. With a flurry of claws and a sweep of their tails, the geniuses of the Hundred Schools of Philosophers were pummeled to the ground in the blink of an eye.
Not only so, the leader of the Hundred Schools of Philosophers also roared furiously, "If you dare to delay us any longer, we'll eat you right here and now!"
"Don't you know what's good for you? Can't you see that we're enjoying the beating?"
"Shameless! Scram to the side!"
The Saint Beasts bellowed furiously. After sending the Hundred Schools of Philosophers flying, they walked up to the young man and begged, "Please continue beating us up! The harder the better! Harder! Harder! "
"…" Yan Xue and the others clutched their hair.
The Otherworldly Demons also widened their eyes to the size of eggs, and they even stopped swallowing their saliva.
The apricot trees twisted their bodies, causing their branches to fall to the ground. They could not understand what was going on.
The Saint Beasts had always been proud and arrogant. Why would they be so happy after being pummeled?
They were clearly howling in agony when they were pummeled by the apricot trees earlier!
"Submit to me, and I'll give you a good beating when I'm free!"
After pummeling them for a while, the young man suddenly felt his hand aching, and he waved his hand dismissively.
"Alright, paying respects to Master!"
"Long live Master!"
Huala!
Right after those words were spoken, the Saint Beasts immediately kneeled down and kowtowed to Zhang Xuan.
Kacha!
Yan Xue's hair was tugged out, but he did not feel any pain at all.
The heck, what's there to be proud about?
You have become someone else's tamed beast. No matter how high your standing is, you are still just a pet … What is there to be happy about?
To submit to you with just a beating … Are Saint Beasts that easy to tame?
"Alright, I'll exact vengeance for you all!"
After taming the Saint Beasts, the young man waved his hand and walked over to the apricot trees with a proud look on his face.
"You're courting death!"
Seeing how arrogant the young man was after taming the Saint Beasts, Yan Xue sneered coldly.
The young man might have used some means to tame the Saint Beasts, but the apricot trees …
Those were existences that had listened to Kong Shi's teachings! Wasn't he courting death by going over to cause trouble for them?
Harrumphing coldly, the young man walked up to the apricot trees.
Hula!
The apricot trees swayed simultaneously, encircling him.
