Chapter 2153 — A Shocking Scene

So the Wind-Thunder Violet Lightning Beast said not a word more—it simply swung a paw and smashed the Qianshan Sect disciple to the ground. A miserable scream rang out, and in an instant he was nothing but a flat cake of flesh.
To the very end, the Qianshan Sect disciple could not understand why the Wind-Thunder Violet Lightning Beast had turned on him, why it had suddenly lashed out—but that question, he would never be able to ask.
The gruesome sight left everyone present dumbstruck!
Before this, the most wretched fates had belonged to Pi Zhitao of the Hidden Pi Family and the disciples of the Fire Wolf Gang, while Wei Zhao had been an accident—but that accident was nothing at all compared to a Qianshan Sect disciple being struck dead by the Wind-Thunder Violet Lightning Beast.
"Wo Jincha!" Wo the sect master cried out in grief and fury. Wo Jincha had been one of the disciples he valued most in Qianshan Sect—otherwise he would never have let him near the Wind-Thunder Violet Lightning Beast! And yet the beast had smashed him dead. Wo the sect master could scarcely believe it!
The others exchanged glances, unable to fathom what Qianshan Sect was playing at. Wei Zhao had not died, yet their own disciple had gone in and died. Could it be that Wo the sect master and the Wind-Thunder Violet Lightning Beast had failed to communicate clearly, so the beast misunderstood and thought it was meant to kill a Qianshan Sect disciple?
At that thought, the family elders and sect masters who had taken part in the earlier matches all counted themselves lucky. Clearly the Wind-Thunder Violet Lightning Beast was not easy to reason with—if it had misunderstood and killed their disciples instead, what a disaster that would have been!
"Wind-Thunder Violet Lightning Beast, what is the meaning of this? I told you to kill Wei Zhao—why did you kill our Qianshan Sect disciple?" Wo the sect master roared in fury.
The Wind-Thunder Violet Lightning Beast watched Wo the sect master stamping and raging, and could not even be bothered to acknowledge him. A petty cultivator daring to point fingers at it? Did he not know it was an ancient spirit beast with the bloodline of a divine beast? If a cultivator as formidable as Wei Zhao—one who could help it advance—had cursed it, that would be one thing. But what virtue or ability did this Wo the sect master have? How dare he clamor so?
"Roar!" The Wind-Thunder Violet Lightning Beast rolled its eyes, then swept out a paw. The cage burst apart, and the beast bounded to Wei Zhao's side, looking at him with the fawning air of one presenting a meritorious deed.
"Not bad, I suppose!" Wei Zhao said, stroking the downy fur on the Wind-Thunder Violet Lightning Beast's forehead.
"Roar, roar..." The Wind-Thunder Violet Lightning Beast nodded again and again, as though savoring it. It had no choice but to curry favor with Wei Zhao—it was of the same mind as the Heavenly Thunder Pig at the very beginning. Advancing on its own was simply too slow, and Wei Zhao was a man of great divine powers who could raise its level. Even among the mighty ones of ancient times, few had ever been heard of with such ability, and so the Wind-Thunder Violet Lightning Beast instinctively held Wei Zhao in boundless respect!
Human martial artists revere the strong, and spirit beasts all the more so—otherwise spirit beasts could never have maintained such a rigid hierarchy of rank and suppression. Yet cultivators who could win a spirit beast's admiration were few indeed, and the Wind-Thunder Violet Lightning Beast was a proud divine beast besides. That it should humble itself so thoroughly now was entirely because it had been shaken to the core by the divine powers Wei Zhao had displayed.
