Genius Beast Taming: Starting from Awakening an S-Rank Talent

After venting their frustrations for a while, the five protectors of the Heavenly Principle Sect, including Yan Zhao Lu Hanqi, analyzed the current situation and then suddenly fell silent.

Because now, there's nothing they can do but await their fate.

Protector Zhao suddenly took out a large amount of resources from his storage treasure, waved his hand and unleashed a green light wave, destroying it.

Protector Yan reached out and grabbed Protector Zhao's arm: "What are you doing?"

Protector Zhao flicked his hand and said coldly, "We've reached a dead end. What use are these things now? They'll only benefit the enemy in the end."

Upon hearing this, the other four guardians immediately realized the truth of the matter. They also began to take out the resources on their bodies and destroy them on the spot, so as not to become Zhou Heng's spoils of war after their deaths.

Protector Lu looked at the other four, his tone firm: "Zhou Heng will definitely come looking for us soon. According to the information from the sect, Zhou Heng's combat strength is at least comparable to a seventh-level feudal lord beast tamer, or even stronger. We are definitely no match for him. However, the Holy Sect has been incredibly kind to us. Even if we die this time, we must die standing, never kneeling."

Protector Han revealed a look of resignation to his fate: "From the moment I joined the Holy Church, I was prepared to sacrifice myself. Now that I am able to fight against the Alliance's junior leader, it would be my honor to die at his hands."

Protector Qi transformed his fear of Zhou Heng into anger and resentment: "If we are lucky enough to manage to bite off a piece of flesh from Zhou Heng, it will be enough to make us famous for all time."

The five men knew they were doomed to die that day. Although they were terrified, they could only encourage each other in order to face death with equanimity.

Five shrunken, sixth-tier beasts nestled around the five people. They all understood that their respective beast masters had reached a dead end, yet they remained by their masters' sides, never abandoning them.

boom!

A deafening roar echoed in all directions, instantly turning the surrounding mountain ranges into dust. The protective shield formed by the five guardians of the Heavenly Principle Sect in the cave, using multiple pieces of life-saving equipment, also vanished as easily as if it were made of paper.

In its Heavenly Roc form, the Star-Devouring Kunpeng, with a wingspan of 800 kilometers, flapped its wings, parting the fierce winds high above, and coldly gazed at the five sixth-order commander cultivators below.

Just now, it was from its eyes that two beams of golden light shot out, shattering the mountain below and the protective shield set up by the five guardians.

Protector Yan, Protector Zhao, Protector Lu, Protector Han, and Protector Qi took to the air.

The five main beasts they had contracted also returned to their original size.

The five tamed beasts are the Dragon-Headed Ice Centipede, the Azure Lion-Lion Beast, the Five-Colored Vermilion-Crowned Bird, the Black Ice Tree Demon, and the Crimson-Eyed Serpent.

The Dragon-Headed Ice Centipede is 6,000 meters long, entirely ice-blue, with a dragon's head, and exhales large plumes of cold air from its mouth.

The Azure Lion-like beast is 8,000 meters long, entirely emerald green, and resembles a lion in appearance, but its limbs are covered with dragon scales.

The five-colored crested peacock has a wingspan of five thousand meters, resembles a peacock in appearance, and is covered with five-colored feathers, with a bright red crest on its head.

The Black Ice Tree Spirit is a giant tree with four limbs, standing tens of thousands of meters tall, with its canopy covered in black leaves.

The Crimson-Eyed Serpent is a two-headed giant python that is 10,000 meters long. Its entire body is covered with purple scales, and its four eyes are like red amber.

These five beasts are all of high-grade diamond quality, and all of them have reached the sixth rank perfection, which is the tenth level of the sixth rank. They are only one step away from advancing to the seventh rank.

Let alone that they haven't advanced to the seventh rank yet, even if they had, they would never be a match for the Star-Devouring Kunpeng.

The Dragon-Headed Ice Centipede, the Azure Lion-Lion Beast, the Five-Colored Vermilion-Crowned Bird, the Black Ice Tree Demon, and the Crimson-Eyed Serpent all possessed intelligence comparable to that of humans, and naturally knew this.

But they stared at the massive, continent-like Kunpeng from afar, without showing any intention of backing down.

For their beast tamers, they would fight to the very last moment, even if it meant death.

Standing atop the 800-kilometer-long Star-Devouring Kunpeng, Zhou Heng surveyed the five Heavenly Principle Sect protectors, who were standing ready for battle, from a distance of tens of thousands of kilometers. His voice carried far: "You five are quite different from the people from the four sects I've encountered before. You don't think about running away, nor do you think about begging for mercy."

As a sixth-tier commander-level beast tamer, Protector Zhao held a certain position within the Heavenly Principle Sect. Faced with certain death, he had come to terms with it, and thus appeared quite composed: "The Wangshu Secret Realm has been sealed off from the inside out. We are nothing more than fish in a net, birds in a cage. Even if we wanted to escape, could we really get away?"

Protector Han stood tall, clenched his fists, and shouted, "As for begging for mercy, you're dreaming! Even if you are the minor leader of the alliance and have a beast of superior mythical quality, we will never beg for mercy from you! We are protectors of the Holy Church; we will only die standing, not live kneeling."

Seeing his companion's unwavering resolve, Protector Qi was also inspired: "For the Holy Church, I have no regrets even if I die!"

Zhou Heng's eyes flashed with a cold light: "You people really don't know what's good for you."

Protector Yan, with her long hair flowing freely, looked directly at Zhou Heng, her tone impassioned: "Even if you can kill us today, so what? We, the Holy Sect, will never give up the fight! Even if you kill us, many more will rise up and fight against the corrupt alliance and the evil families! You can never kill them all!"

Zhou Heng's lips curled into a disdainful sneer: "Don't make yourselves sound so righteous. The alliance is indeed corrupt, and the aristocratic families aren't benevolent either, but is your Heavenly Principle Sect any better? You Heavenly Principle Sect claim that you don't allow your members to establish aristocratic families, but in reality, it doesn't prevent the strong members of your Heavenly Principle Sect from preserving their bloodlines and forming a huge network of relationships. What's the essential difference between that and our aristocratic families? It's just that one is open about it, and the other is in the shadows."

Protector Lu's red cloak fluttered in the wind: "You can say an ellipse isn't a perfect circle, but even the least perfect ellipse is still rounder than a triangle!"

Zhou Heng pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly: "From a dialectical perspective, what you said makes sense."

Seeing that Zhou Heng agreed with their words, Protector Zhao couldn't help but feel extremely smug: "It seems that you, the young leader of the alliance, also know that the alliance and the aristocratic families are evil!"

Zhou Heng slowly shook his head, his eyes filled with an indifferent and chilling understanding: "Many things have nothing to do with good or evil, only with one's stance. Whether the Alliance and the aristocratic families are good or evil, whether the Heavenly Principle Sect is good or bad, does not affect the hostility between the two sides. In essence, it is just a conflict of interests. Similarly, my hunting you down today has nothing to do with good or evil, it is simply because you stand on the opposite side of me, you are my enemies, so you all must die."

If Zhou Heng hadn't enjoyed the benefits of a powerful family in his life, he would definitely have fought against the alliance and the powerful families, just like these five ordinary protectors of the Heavenly Principle Sect in front of him.

Unfortunately, he was born into a powerful family and belonged to the beneficiaries, so he naturally had to uphold the dignity of the alliance and the powerful family.
