Chapter 277: The Appearance of Beast Pets

“I’ll fight in the second round!”

Wang Zhixing’s voice was firm and filled with confidence.

When the people behind him heard this, they looked especially shocked. The same went for Aatrox, who was on the opposite side. Aatrox quickly revealed a mocking smile.

“Peak Master Wang, don’t be rash. We can wait for them to finish the announcement before making a plan.”

Elder Tarot tried to persuade him.

“That’s right! Peak Master Wang, don’t be rash.”

The elders all echoed in agreement.

“Dad, have you really thought it through?” Wang Jiajun knew his father very well and knew that he wouldn’t do anything rash.

“Yes!” Wang Zhixing only nodded slightly, but his eyes were exceptionally firm.

“Dad, I believe you.” Wang Jiajun didn’t try to persuade him. Instead, he understood his father’s determination.

On the other side, Aatrox still had a teasing smile on his face, but his brain was thinking quickly.

“This person should have a very high status among the immortal cultivators.

“He’s probably strong, so it won’t be so easy to win this battle.”

Aatrox had fought against immortal cultivators before, so he was well aware of the common tactics.

He did not want his side to lose, even if it was just one match.

If he went on personally, he would definitely win.

However, his remaining members might encounter accidents in the later matches.

After careful consideration, he decided to let the second-in-command of the team fight instead.

The second-in-command was not Soko but another.

Soko was very strong, and Aatrox knew that best.

But, he did not send Soko to prevent any accidents from happening.

“Babatu, you will be responsible for dealing with this immortal cultivator,” Aatrox said in a low voice.

“Understood!” Babatu nodded.

Babatu looked similar to a human. His body was well-proportioned, and his muscles were exceptionally perfect.

His skin was dark purple as if he had been infected with poison.

He had six arms and wore a round hat on his head. The brim of the hat was low, covering his eyes.

Babatu was a serious person in speech and manner, and he had considerable prestige in the team.

Apart from possessing extraordinary strength, he was also quite intelligent.

He was the one who suggested equipping the members with the Kun Wings when the Lomerians escaped.

At the same time, Elder Tarot introduced Babatu to Wang Zhixing, sharing his strength and some special abilities.

Wang Zhixing also used the Aura Examination Technique to observe Babatu.

Judging from the size of the opponent’s aura, he was slightly stronger. Furthermore, based on his abilities and battle experience, he was still a relatively powerful opponent.

But this did not affect Wang Zhixing at all. On the contrary, he still maintained his confidence.

Not long after, both sides left their respective camps to prepare for battle.

Soon, the match began.

As they did not know the exact strength of the other party, they both retreated immediately, creating a relatively long distance between them.

Wang Zhixing summoned his flying sword and attacked first.

The flying sword was as fast as lightning.

In the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of Babatu.

Babatu did not panic at all.

His six arms held three different kinds of weapons.

He raised one of his arms holding a circular shield.

The shield was silver in color and had a thorny design on its surface.

Clang!

Babatu’s silver shield collided with Wang Zhixing’s flying sword with a loud bang.

The huge sparks were like fireworks exploding, bright and dazzling.

Under the impact of the flying sword, Babatu moved back a distance, but he was not injured.

However, from the first exchange, it seemed that Wang Zhixing was slightly stronger.

Wang Zhixing retracted his flying sword. Inwardly, he had acknowledged Babatu’s strength. At the same time, he felt a little more serious about the weapons in his hands.

One had to know that the flying sword in Wang Zhixing’s hands was a supreme-grade weapon. It could cut iron like paper, and it was even sharper than laser beams.

However, the silver shield in Babatu’s hand actually held up against it, and it was unscathed.

The silver shield was no ordinary item.

Most importantly, he still had five other weapons at the same level.

It seems like this battle would not end early.

There was a pause for a few seconds.

Wang Zhixing once again controlled his flying sword to attack Babatu.

This time, it flew faster than the first time. At the same time, there were several streaks of sword energy accompanying it.

Babatu raised his silver shield swiftly like before.

The attack this time was not a single attack, there were also threats from those sword energies.

Therefore, the silver shield alone was not enough to withstand all the attacks.

But this was not difficult for Babatu.

The moment he raised the silver shield, the thorny pattern on the shield suddenly lit up, and a large number of thorny vines emerged.

These thorny vines intertwined and overlapped, forming a huge semicircular defensive barrier.

When Wang Zhixing saw this, he immediately chanted an incantation.

The flying sword circled above the defensive barrier before expanding at a visible speed.

After waiting for two to three seconds, Wang Zhixing waved his arm and shouted, “Slash!”

The massive flying sword slashed down toward the defensive barrier in the next instant.

It was as if the giant sword was about to split open the entire sky. Its boundless imposing manner brought change to the world.

When the Elder Tarot and the others saw this level of attack, they were extremely shocked.

“Immortal cultivators are indeed powerful!” They couldn’t help but sigh.

Aatrox was similarly surprised by Wang Zhixing’s strength.

If it were anyone else, they would probably be completely crushed.

Fortunately, the one fighting Wang Zhixing was Babatu.

Aatrox still had great confidence in Babatu.

At this moment, the giant sword had already struck the surface of the barrier.

The sharpness of the giant sword was incomparable. The thorn barrier only lasted for two to three seconds before it was sliced open.

The sword energy surged in from the left and right of the giant sword, determined to turn Babatu into a hornet’s nest.

However, a purple flower bud appeared inside the defensive barrier.

The sword energies pierced the flower bud.

Even though it was a plant, its defensive capabilities were astounding. The sword energies couldn’t destroy it.

Wang Zhixing frowned.

He didn’t think too much about it. He decided to cut it first.

Therefore, he continued to control the giant flying sword and slashed at the purple flower bud.

At this moment, countless thorny vines appeared around the flower bud.

These thorny vines were like tentacles, wrapping around the giant flying sword and spreading rapidly.

In less than a breath’s time, the entire sword was enveloped by thorny vines.

At this moment, the purple flower bud blossomed.

Petals bloomed one after another. Babatu was right in the center of the flower.

He walked out and gently patted the flower petals beside him.

The blooming flower shrank as stems and leaves emerged from its bottom.

From afar, they looked like legs.

Then the petals closed, but not completely. They were only half-closed, like a half-open mouth.

A long tongue stretched out from the opening.

The tongue licked the petals before turning to Babatu.

Babatu smiled coldly. “Well done.”

When Wang Zhixing saw this from afar, he recalled what Elder Tarot had said and immediately understood what was going on.

“So those are the so-called beast pets of the Beast Taming Corps!”
