Indeed, although the Beast Taming Cultivators had already lost more than two hundred people, and their casualties were continuing to mount after Chi Xue and the others unleashed Merged Entity Arrows, they could still win even if only half their forces remained. They were fighting at close quarters against thousands—perhaps tens of thousands—of Chi Xue's people. At the very least, they could kill seventy or eighty percent of Chi Xue's cultivators, and that was the last thing Chi Xue and the others wanted to see.
It was easy to understand why. Even if they had a chance to kill or capture all the Beast Taming Cultivators and obtain the secret technique for fusing with Ancient Divine Beasts, losing seventy or eighty percent of their own forces would leave them with only a thousand or so Quasi-Sage experts.

What was more, Chi Xue and the others knew Ling Tian's side was watching them like a tiger eyeing its prey. If they engaged the Beast Taming Cultivators in close combat, Ling Tian's people would surely bring a large force to surround them. Chi Xue's side would not only struggle to capture the Beast Taming Cultivators and obtain the secret technique for fusing with Ancient Divine Beasts, but might also be wiped out to a man.
