Chapter 808: Chapter 289: Blood Oath Battle (13)âHas your Tiger Clan really perished?â
Facing Lu Hongâs question, Tiger King Bai didnât answer directly but said, âDefeat me, and Iâll answer you.â
âAlright.â Lu Hong had always been curious about the Tiger Clan, which was once quite a powerful tribe among the Beast Race; after all, the history of the White Tiger reigning when the Lion Heart was absent wasnât baseless.
With that, both of them unleashed their magic power and entered a battle-ready state.
The Tiger King was the first to make a move, striding with large steps, charging at Lu Hong.
Itâs said that clouds follow the dragon and wind follows the tiger; Lu Hong was prepared for the opponent to have swift movements, yet in reality, the Tiger Kingâs speed wasnât fast, and the swinging fist seemed quite easy to dodge.
However, as the fist approached and Lu Hong dodged sideways, the Tiger King suddenly activated his ability.
In an instant, the air around Lu Hong swirled, like an invisible air wall, pressing Lu Hong in place.
Lu Hongâs reaction was also quick, as his blood energy burst out, pushing horizontally to counter the invisible air blockade.
âLetâs see how much magic power you have left,â the Tiger King sneered, as his magic power output suddenly increased again.
The originally stalemate situation immediately tilted in favor of the Tiger King.
Lu Hong also appeared to be running out of steam, and with all his strength, he unleashed his skillâBlood Qi Shockwave.
With a powerful impact hitting the air wall, it finally broke the confinement that the Tiger King had secretly cast.
The blood qi shockwave, which tore the air wall, did not lose its momentum, transforming into a torrent, surging towards the Tiger King with a raised fist.
In response, the Tiger King calmly struck out his charged fist, and with one blow, the turbulent blood qi torrent was instantly halted and rolled back under the residual force of the punch.
Lu Hong truly didnât expect the Tiger Kingâs punch to be so powerful, nor had he guarded against it in his confidence in his skillâs power, thus he was hit in the chest by the rolled-back blood qi torrent and was sent flying a thousand feet, crashing down onto the arena.
Seeing Lu Hong defeated in one blow, the Tiger King also let down his guard, thinking this kid indeed ran out of magic power.
âDuke Shenwei, isnât it? If you admit defeat now, I can let you walk off the stage alive.â The Tiger King was not in a hurry and slowly walked towards Lu Hong, in a good mood, answering without deflection, âMy White Tiger Clan is still thriving, just that no one could find us. You being defeated by the king of the Tiger Clan also doesnât tarnish your reputation.â
Lu Hong, holding his chest, didnât speak in response.
It wasnât until the Tiger King got close did he struggle to his feet, attempting to push back the opponent.
However, under the wind chain lock, Lu Hongâs movement was greatly restricted and he was kicked in the abdomen by the Tiger King, causing him to clutch his stomach and kneel on the ground.
The Tiger King then struck again, with the wind transforming into green chains, wrapping around Lu Hong and suspending him in front of himself.
Seeing Lu Hongâs defeat, many in the beast crowd below muttered curses: âBah! What a d*mn Tiger King, just a despicable person, only challenging when the Duke is exhausted, truly a cowardly behavior!â
âExactly, Iâve read history books since childhood, and I originally respected and admired the long-lost Tiger Clan, but seeing this now, they are disgraceful!â
The cursing below made the Tiger King pause momentarily; truth be told, he was mentally prepared for reproach, but didnât expect nearly all the beast spectators to be scolding him, evidently demonstrating the immense recognition Lu Hong had gained through his battle of the Blood Oath.
At this point, the Tiger King grasped Lu Hongâs throat, softly sighing, âI actually donât want to kill you, but your potential is too great. If I let you go and you seek revenge on my Tiger Clan in the future, my clan would be in danger. Besides, donât blame me for being scheming; history is written by the victors. A thousand years ago, I already saw clearly this way of the world, and hope in your next life, you can understand as well.â
As he spoke, the Tiger King suddenly exerted force with his hand.
At the same time, Lu Hongâs murky eyes burst with bright light.
Seeing this, the Tiger King sneered, âI expected this.â
With that, his magic power erupted once more, and the wind chains binding Lu Hong tightened like hinges, restraining him from any death struggle retaliation.
Yet Lu Hong did not struggle to the death as the Tiger King expected, his gleaming eyes just stared at him, causing the Tiger King to feel uneasy. Then he applied more force, intending to crush Lu Hongâs throat.
However, the next moment, the Tiger King felt his magic power suddenly stagnate, with his blood qi reversing, rendering him momentarily stunned.
And this was the timing Lu Hong was waiting for; the wind chains lost their master and shattered. Lu Hong immediately summoned the Blood Holy Sword, slashing towards the Tiger Kingâs head.
Though the Tiger King regained his senses in half a second, given their proximity, the blade was already forcing upon his head.
Even though his stalled magic power resumed flow, the Tiger King couldnât activate it in time, only moving his arm to dodge.
The next second, half of the Tiger Kingâs arm, along with his sizeable head, was pierced by the blade.
With a bang, the poor Tiger King, even at a demigodâs realm, died so suddenly.
âGood!â
Seeing the Tiger Kingâs death, the audience erupted in enthusiastic applause, with cheers resounding continuously.
Witnessing the deep admiration for Lu Hong, the Lion King Hall and ancient beast tribes looked on, gritting their teeth in anxious fury.
With the Tiger Kingâs demise, Lu Hong immediately exercised his Bloodthirst, devouring all of the opponentâs blood power.
After absorbing the demigodâs vast blood qi, Lu Hongâs aura surged once more, and the blood flesh shredded by the wind chains gradually regenerated under the ceaseless wash of blood qi.
After doing all this, Lu Hong turned his gaze towards the ancient beast tribes in the stands, locking eyes for a moment with a group of people in the southeast direction of the arena.
Seeing Lu Hong glance in their direction, the powerful ones from the Lion King Hall showed fear; how did he know? Panic set in, and they retreated into the crowd, scattering their presence.
The Tiger King was defeated, not by Lu Hongâs strength but by his hidden trump cardâthe Chaotic Uprising, and his arrogance and underestimation led to his downfall.
Lu Hongâs prominence was unmatched, and many of the beast tribe powerhouses below sighed, âHe truly is the king of our tribe!â
Eferot stood among the beastmen, his gaze flickering.
Then he stepped onto the arena.
Seeing Eferot ascend the arena, Lu Hong wasnât surprised at all.
âYouâve still come up.â
âIâm Eferot, the Zhen Luo King of the Beast Race, the Beast Raceâs Grand Prince, isnât it logical for me to fight?â
Lu Hong gazed at Eferot and said, âCan you defeat me?â
Eferotâs face instantly darkened, as if he couldnât beat him, yet the golden lion didnât shy away from battle at this moment: âDoes it matter whether I can beat you or not?â
Yes, it doesnât matter; what matters is that he has the courage to step onto the stage and fight.
Lu Hong nodded, then smiled and said, âDo you remember where we first met?â
âSeems like it was in a human raceâs rat hole.â
âYes, you did give me quite a beating back then; Iâve never forgotten that grudge.â With that, Heavenly God Descent and Lion King Arrival were activated fully.
Upon hearing this, Eferotâs face changed, simultaneously activating the Lion King Arrival state.
Then, the two figures fiercely collided on the arena, and in an instant, air currents surged and rippled continuously.
Lu Hongâs punches were indeed mightier than Eferotâs; each punch landed with full force, causing Eferot to tremble all over and repeatedly fall back.
During the hurried exchanges, Lu Hongâs feint exposed a gap.
He was then swept away by a whip-like kick, landing heavily against the protective barrier.
Eferot spat blood repeatedly in pain, realizing finally the true battle strength of Lu Hong, who was clearly at the late stage of the Third Transition, yet could contend with a demigod.
Seeing Eferot being continually pummeled on the arena, the spectator Baray shook his head repeatedly; this nephew was indeed too impulsive.
However, Eferotâs appearance on stage was also a signal of surrender for the throne to Taiâe and the Lion Heart elder.
Taiâe understood, but the Fifth Ancestor found it hard to accept.
He clearly explained the grave issues facing the Lion Heart Royal Family and even divulged untold stories from the past, nearly getting himself stared down by the second ancestor. Yet, this d*mn guy didnât believe him from the start?
But everything he said was true!
The Fifth Ancestor, filled with grievance, was once more targeted by the other Lion Heart elders, seemingly unable to escape another beating.
Meanwhile, on the arena, as Eferot was being pummeled, he resisted fiercely while saying, âMy Lion Heart Royal Family faces a crisis of lineage extinction. By stepping on stage, Iâve already considered relinquishing the throne. Thus, you must seize it; I ask for nothing else but that after you become the Beast King, you do your utmost to continue our lineage.â
