"Beast, how dare you!"
The other elders flew into a rage, and they swiftly made their moves.
The Nine-headed Fiery Phoenix let out a piercing cry as it flapped its wings, and flames immediately poured down like a torrential downpour. One of the elders was struck squarely in his chest, and he fell to the ground with a gaping hole in his chest.
The Seven-tailed Swordfang Tiger also charged into the crowd, and in just a few moments, two elders had their stomachs lacerated, and fresh blood flowed freely from their wounds.
Even though they were all at Heavenly High Immortal realm, as saint beasts, their lifespans were much longer, and their fighting prowess was far greater than the Nine-headed Swordfang Tiger's. The elders of the Myriad Beasts Hall weren't too strong in the first place, so they weren't a match for the Nine-headed Swordfang Tiger. In just a few breaths, they were already severely injured.
"Formation!"
Knowing that they wouldn't be able to hold on at this rate, Elder Liao gritted his teeth furiously as he dashed toward the formation that he had just set up.
"Buzz!" The formation began to operate.
Beast taming. Since one wanted to tame the other party, one had to be prepared for the possibility of being killed by the other party.
Thus, this formation could trap the other party, but it could also work together to fend off the attacks of the immortal beasts and escape unscathed.
The other injured elders hurriedly retreated into the formation.
"I saw you all setting up the formation, but I still spared your lives. Do you think that this formation will work?"
The Serpentine Dragon harrumphed coldly.
Rustling sounds echoed from the ground, and in the next moment, the formation that Elder Liao and the others were hiding in shook violently before collapsing. The formation flags that they had set up earlier also fell to the ground.
A bunch of ants!
It had long been hidden on the ground beneath the formation flags and swallowed this thing by force!
With the formation flags destroyed, the formation lost its effect. Thus, Elder Liao and the others appeared before the three immortal beasts once more.
"I was too focused on taming the beasts, but who could have thought that I would fall for their trap?"
Seeing how the three immortal beasts and the other saint beasts had sealed off the area, and the formation that they had set up earlier had been destroyed, Elder Liao's face paled in despair.
They had come here to tame the beast, thinking that even if they failed, they would still be able to escape successfully. Never in their dreams did they expect to fall into the other party's trap.
The White-eared Fox used its abilities to transform into a serpent dragon to lure the Northern Sea Dragon Orb away, while the real serpent dragon teamed up with the Nine-headed Fiery Phoenix and Seven-tailed Swordfang Tiger to launch a sneak attack on the other group of people.
If he succeeded, he would be able to crush them without a hitch.
The beast taming show that they had prepared had unexpectedly turned into a massacre!
He had used all sorts of methods to tame the other party, but who could have thought that the other party would fall into his trap instead …
"White Ear told me that humans are greedy! I didn't believe it before, but now it seems like it's true! "
Hearing Zhang Xuan's words, the Serpentine Dragon harrumphed coldly. "If you hadn't split up and used your massive killing weapon against the Nine-headed Fiery Phoenix instead of me … it's hard to say who would have been the victor!"
The Northern Sea Dragon Orb was used to deal with the Seven-tailed Swordfang Tiger, but the one used to deal with the Nine-headed Fiery Phoenix was the Northern Sea Dragon Orb. If they hadn't split up, even if the three of them were to work together, they would still have been defeated easily.
On the other hand, they had split up into two groups, but the White-eared Fox had seen through their ploy, so they had secretly split up as well. They would first destroy one group before moving on to the other.
"We were too greedy …"
Elder Liao sighed bitterly.
It was difficult to tame even a single one of the four immortal beasts, and yet, Elder Liu and Elder Yuan were competing with one another to see who could tame it first … In itself, this was a display of arrogance.
An arrogant army was bound to fall. As soon as such thoughts surfaced in their minds, they were destined to fail.
Putting everything aside, the strongest of their group, Elder Yuan, was still using the Northern Sea Dragon Orb to toy with the White-eared Fox … In fact, he didn't even know that he was in a precarious position. Just who was the one toying with whom …
"Let's put our lives on the line. No matter how powerful they are, it's impossible for them to kill us without sustaining any injuries …"
Knowing that it would be difficult for them to escape under such circumstances, Elder Liao heaved a sigh of relief as determination gleamed in his eyes.
"Yes!"
The other elders nodded in agreement. With a flick of their wrist, a pouch the size of a palm appeared in their hands.
Elder Liao clenched his fist lightly.
Hu!
One immortal beast after another appeared in front of the elders.
"These are … tamed beast pouches?"
Zhang Xuan, who was hiding not too far away, frowned in astonishment.
Previously, the attendant had told him that the more formidable disciples and elders of the Myriad Beasts Hall had unique tamed beast pouches. Similar to the folded spaces on the Master Teacher Continent, they could store their tamed beasts in them and bring them with them at all times.
From the looks of it, the pouches in their hands were one such tamed beast pouches!
To be able to store such huge immortal beasts in them without sustaining any damage, they were indeed extraordinary.
Roar! Roar! Roar!
The elders released their tamed beasts, and their fighting prowess immediately soared. Even though they were still no match for the Serpentine Dragon and the other beasts, it wouldn't be easy for them to kill them anymore.
"Stop them!"
Elder Liao and the others bellowed as they released their tamed beasts.
Even though most of their tamed beasts were at Heavenly High Immortal realm, their fighting prowess was not to be underestimated. Even the Serpentine Dragon and the Nine-headed Fiery Phoenix were unable to breach their defenses in the short term.
"You are all immortal beasts, but you are willing to become the vassals of humans and obey their commands. What a disgrace!"
Seeing that the crowd of beasts had stopped them, the Serpent Dragon did not attack them. Instead, it harrumphed coldly and swallowed the pure dragon blood in the jade bottle. Following this, an overwhelming pressure spread into the surroundings.
Shrouded in this pressure, the immortal beasts that the elders had just released began trembling uncontrollably. For a moment, none of them dared to make a move, as if they had lost their fighting prowess.
"This is the power of the Dragon Tribe's bloodline …"
Zhang Xuan remarked grimly.
The Dragon Tribe was the king of all beasts. Not only did they possess an insurmountable gap between their bloodlines, they posed a huge threat to other immortal beasts and saint beasts as well.
Pure-Blooded Dragons were natural-born emperors. Once they were born, no beast would dare to defy them. Even though the Serpentine Dragon was still a distance away from becoming a Pureblooded Dragon, after consuming the pure dragon blood in the jade bottle, its aura was on par with that of a Pseudo Dragon. The tamed beasts of the elders were completely powerless before the Serpentine Dragon.
It could be said that the tamed beasts of the Serpentine Dragon were nothing more than decorations.
Hong long!
The Nine-headed Fiery Phoenix and the Seven-tailed Swordfang Tiger charged forward simultaneously.
A few breaths later, Elder Liao and the others were lying on the ground, their bodies drenched in blood. They had sustained grievous injuries.
"Capture them and bring them back to the cavern. We'll exchange them for the method to purify dragon blood from that fellow!"
The Serpentine Dragon harrumphed coldly.
Since Elder Yuan possessed the method to purify dragon blood, there was no need for them to kill him for the time being.
Surely, the other party would not disregard the lives of his fellow disciples.
"They sure are smart!"
Seeing all of this, Zhang Xuan shook his head bitterly.
It was no wonder no one had been able to tame these immortal beasts. They were simply too cunning!
Compared to humans, they were on par with them.
Even the elders of the Myriad Beasts Hall had fallen for their schemes. It was nigh impossible for one or two of them to succeed!
"I'm afraid that I won't be a match for them either. Forget it, I'll just tame an aerial immortal beast instead!"
Zhang Xuan thought.
It was not necessary for him to tame the four Monarchs. It would be fine even if he tamed ordinary immortal beasts.
In any case, he was going to use them for traveling.
With his fighting prowess at Heavenly True Immortal realm, coupled with his Gods' Sword Intent and Heaven's Path Divine Art, it should not be a problem for him to defeat the Serpentine Dragon. However, if he were to use his full strength, there was a good chance that he would be noticed by the experts of the Hall of Gods.
Since there was a chance that his identity would be exposed, he might as well just let it be.
Just as Zhang Xuan was about to hide and allow the Serpentine Dragon and the others to capture Elder Liao and the others, an anxious voice suddenly sounded in his ears. "Master, as long as you capture that Nine-headed Fiery Phoenix and consume its blood essence, I'll be able to break open the gourd and reveal my true form!"
"Break open the gourd?"
Zhang Xuan lowered his head and looked at the Dongxu Gourd in his dantian. It had never been so anxious before.
"That's right. My Dongxu Gourd is only the seal on the exterior. My true form is a legendary beast that dominates the Nine Heavens. Once I recover, I won't have to fear anything from the Hall of Gods!"
The Dongxu Gourd replied.
"Are you certain?" Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up.
While the Dongxu Gourd was unreliable, its strength was indeed fearsome.
This could be seen from how it was able to devour a High Immortal realm sword with ease.
If it was really able to break open the seal on the gourd and reveal its true form, it might be able to rival the experts of the Hall of Gods. At the very least, it would be able to surpass High Immortals!
Otherwise, the Heavenly High Immortal expert from the Hall of Gods wouldn't have been so fearful earlier, allowing him to be crushed to death by the book.
"I'm certain," the Dongxu Gourd replied.
"Alright then."
Hearing the Dongxu Gourd's confirmation, Zhang Xuan heaved a sigh of relief. Gritting his teeth, he leaped out and shouted, "Hold it right there!"
The Serpentine Dragon, the Nine-headed Fiery Phoenix, and even Elder Liao immediately turned their gazes over, and what they saw left them stunned.
Clearly, none of them had thought that there would be a person hiding in the area.
"A Heavenly True Immortal realm pinnacle cultivator dares to come here to die? Since that's the case, let's capture him as well! "
The Serpentine Dragon harrumphed coldly.
It had thought that the other party would be extremely powerful or possess some kind of special means, but who could have thought that the other party was just an ordinary Heavenly True Immortal realm lad?
It would be able to crush several of them with a single claw, so there was no need for it to worry.
Hu!
Upon hearing Zhang Xuan's command, the Nine-headed Fiery Phoenix immediately flew over with blazing flames burning all over its body.
Zhang Xuan didn't rush to make a move. Instead, he turned to the Serpentine Dragon and smiled. "Serpentine Dragon, do you dare to answer my call?"
"Hmm?"
The Serpentine Dragon was taken aback.
Is there something wrong with this fellow's head?
Why are you calling me when I want to capture you?
"Moo, moo …"
Just as the Serpentine Dragon was perplexed, the Eight Notes of Heavenly Dragon suddenly sounded.
The ground seemed to have exploded, and with a deafening rumble, a powerful gale swept up into the sky.
Hearing the sound, the Serpentine Dragon's body stiffened. It felt as if its blood had been frozen solid, and it couldn't hold on any longer.
Padah!
Its body convulsed uncontrollably, and it fell to the ground like a frozen snake.
