Chapter 274: Hope for a Miracle
Aatrox was furious.
One of the members said, “Captain, don’t waste your breath on them. We’ll control the [Nirvana Beasts] and kill them all in one go.”
[Nirvana Beasts] were the giant beasts; this species of terrifying giant beast was the signature of the Beast Taming Corps, and its reputation spread far and wide.
Aatrox heard him but did not accept the suggestion.
He looked at Wang Zhixing and the others across from him, and an idea struck him.
“It’s too boring to destroy them all at once.
“We might as well play a game with them,” said Aatrox with a wicked smile.
A game???
The members expressed their doubts.
However, when Soko heard about the game, his interest was piqued.
“What game is it? Is it interesting?” Soko asked curiously with his eyes wide open.
Aatrox replied, “Murder games. What do you think?”
“Murdering is good; murdering is great. It’s my favorite thing to do.” Soko was extremely happy.
The other members were still puzzled but also curious.
Aatrox didn’t keep them in suspense. He shared his ideas.
After the members heard this, some agreed and some who objected, but in the end, they all agreed.
“Since no one has any objections, it’s decided then.”
When he finished, he looked at the other party. “I have an idea.”
“We will fight one-on-one. If more of you win, we will leave.
“If more of us win, Tarot has to hand over the [Ancestral Stone].
“The rules are simple.
“The battle between the two people only ends when one side admits defeat or is directly killed.
“Of course!
“We will not use [Nirvana Beasts], but you can use any means.”
Aatrox continued, “To be honest, this method is beneficial to both of us.
“If a war were to break out between us right now, this planet would definitely be destroyed.
“There are quite a few people living on this planet, aren’t there!
“Our Beast Taming Corps aren’t ruthless. We don’t want to put people in misery.
“Besides, our goal is to let all the races in the universe know how to tame the beasts.
“If everyone dies now, how will we tame the beasts?
“So, for the sake of those innocent people behind you, consider carefully!”
Aatrox made sense. Wang Zhixing and the others immediately held a discussion.
Wang Zhixing said, “Since they proposed this idea, they must be very confident in their own strength.
“Elder Tarot, you have interacted with them before. Tell me about their strength.”
Elder Tarot said seriously, “They aren’t very strong.
“They overpower planets through the giant beasts behind them.
“In terms of individual strength, most of them are only equivalent to the Nascent Soul realm of you immortal cultivators.”
In the vast universe, Nascent Soul cultivators were nothing.
There were plenty of such cultivators in the universe.
In the strength systems of the universe, a person able to traverse the universe with one’s own body was considered to have a certain level of strength.
In order to do so, one at least had to have the capabilities of the Soul Splitting realm.
The vast majority of Wang Zhixing’s group were still at the Golden Core realm. There weren’t even ten Nascent Souls cultivators yet.
Meanwhile, there were a total of 17 people on Aatrox’s side.
If they agreed to Aatrox’s proposal, they didn’t have a high chance of winning.
Wang Zhixing asked, “Elder Tarot, what do you think our chances of winning are?”
Elder Tarot thought for a moment and said, “Based on individual strength, they are clearly stronger than us.
“However, if we formulate a good strategy, we will still have a chance of winning.”
“Then what should we do?” Someone interrupted.
Wang Zhixing replied, “Put the weak against the strong, and the strong against the weak.”
Elder Tarot nodded. “Peak Master Wang is right.
“We have fought them before and know their depths.
“If they send a strong person, we’ll send a weak one. And we don’t have to fight. We’ll just admit defeat.
“If they send out a weak person, we’ll send a strong one. And it’s best if we can kill them.
“As long as he dies, the [Nirvana Beasts] that he is contracted to will also die. This will reduce the threat.”
At this moment, someone said, “If we win in the end, what if they go back on their word?”
“That…” Elder Tarot immediately looked troubled.
There were liars everywhere.
The opposing Beast Taming Corps boasted that they were very strong and that they could win. If they were to fail, wouldn’t that be swallowing their own words?
In that case, they would definitely not admit it.
Everyone hesitated.
If they won’t keep their word, then agreeing to this game would be pointless.
At this moment, Aatrox’s voice sounded.
“So, have you thought it through?”
Aatrox was smiling, seeming very confident.
Elder Tarot immediately replied, “What if we win but you refuse to admit it?”
Upon hearing this, Aatrox laughed out loud and almost burst into tears.
That was the funniest joke he had heard in the past two years.
He had never considered that his side would lose.
Aatrox stopped smiling and looked at Elder Tarot. Then he said, “Tarot, I like your humor, but what I admire most is your confidence.
“Since you have such concerns, I can guarantee you, the Beast Taming Corps has been dominating the universe for hundreds of millions of years. Our credibility has always been guaranteed. We won’t go back on our word.”
Elder Tarot said, “Words are useless. I won’t believe you just because of a few words of yours.”
Aatrox grew impatient.
He folded his arms. “You must understand, Tarot, that I proposed a duel as an opportunity for you people to live.
“[Nirvana Beasts] can directly destroy this planet.
“Don’t think that you can stop us just because you have these immortal cultivators on your side.
“They are still too inexperienced compared to true immortal cultivators.
“If you really have the strength to resist us, you definitely wouldn’t have been in a deadlock with us until now.
“I’ve already given you a chance.
“I will give you two more minutes to consider.
“If you don’t agree, then prepare to die!
“Of course, if you hand over the [Ancestral Stone] now, we promise to leave immediately.
“What do you think? ”
Elder Tarot snorted. “Handing over the [Ancestral Stone]? Impossible.”
“So which do you want to choose?” Aatrox asked coldly.
Elder Tarot looked at Wang Zhixing and the others.
After thinking for a while, Wang Zhixing could only nod helplessly.
Now that Sect Master had disappeared, they were missing their greatest power.
At first, he was very confident in everyone’s abilities.
However, when he looked at the [Nirvana Beasts] behind Aatrox and his members with the Aura Examination Technique, he had lost his earlier confidence.
He was also helpless. The initiative was in the other party’s hands. Since that was the case, he could only take a gamble.
If they really keep their promise, it would be great.
If not, they could only put up a desperate struggle and hope for a miracle.
Two minutes later.
Aatrox asked again, “Have you decided?”
After discussing with Wang Zhixing and the others, Elder Tarot could only agree.
Aatrox laughed. “You guys are pretty smart. You made the most sensible choice.
“However, the outcome has already been decided. I hope that you won’t lose too badly. ”
Not to be outdone, Elder Tarot retorted, “Don’t be too full of yourself. It’ll be funny if you fail afterwards.”
Aatrox was unimpressed. “Then let’s see who gets the last laugh.”
Then, Wang Zhixing began to select the participants.
