Chapter 492: A Bloody Fight
In the natural world, there was little interference between elephants on one side and lions and tigers on the other. The issue of bloodline suppression wasn’t a thing, but either way, they hardly ever fought against each other. However, lions and tigers were the true kings of beasts—one ruled the grasslands, the other the forest.
On the other hand, when clans of the lion and tiger races faced the Golden Mammoth clan, not being suppressed by their bloodline could be considered quite the achievement. After all, their golden lineage was only a second-tier bloodline, while the Golden Mammoths’ was first tier.
Yet now, given that the Lion-Tiger Sword Saint suppressed the Golden Mammoth with his bloodline power, it meant his bloodline tier was not only not inferior to his opponent's, but actually surpassed it! No Lion Demon or Tiger Demon had ever possessed such a strong bloodline besides the White Tiger Demon Emperor! How could the lion and tiger races’ noble members not be astonished?
As the roar erupted in mid-air, Big Cat gripped his sword with both hands, and the Lion-Tiger Golden Force surged. His eyes turned utterly white-hot, with platinum white light seeping from the corners. In this instant, his physique, bloodline power, and spiritual power all peaked, and he unleashed his full power with intense battle intent.
The Golden Mammoth swung its twin hammers upward, aiming at the diving Big Cat. This was a pure test of strength, leaving no room for trickery.
Clang!
The deafening crash momentarily paused the battles in the other two arenas. Many spectators in the stands covered their ears, yet their heads still buzzed.
Platinum and gold intermingled. The instantaneous clash was genuinely breathtaking.
The white-hot figure bounced back, flying out. But the golden-glowing figure didn't fare well either. It was simply driven into the stage up to its knees!
Big Cat flipped in mid-air and landed, staggering back five steps before steadying himself. A flush rose on his face.
His opponent, the Golden Mammoth contestant, had slightly bulging eyes, and the golden glow it radiated dimmed noticeably. The twin hammers it wielded bore obvious cuts.
Big Cat didn’t even give himself time to catch his breath. As soon as he steadied himself, he began another charge, leaping into the air with his heavy sword once more igniting in white-hot light. The fierce Lion-Tiger Golden Force burned anew.
ROOOAAARRR!
Another thunderous roar erupted as he struck at his opponent
At this moment, the Golden Mammoth hadn't yet pulled its legs from the ground, and the ferocious roar forced it to halt.
Boom!
This time, Big Cat wasn't flung far away but shot straight up into the air. The Golden Mammoth was now properly waist-deep in the ground, and it spat out a mouthful of blood. One of its war hammers had half of its head chopped off, which went to show the ferocity of that strike.
While in midair, Big Cat took a deep breath. He once more pumped bloodline energy into his Lion-Tiger Golden Force, and it burst out with even more dazzling brilliance. Descending from the sky, he struck down again, after an even shorter time.
Even though this was the fifth strike already and he was tired and injured, it was so majestic and overwhelming that the spectators were awed. No fancy moves—just pure power and relentless attacks.
"Ahhhh!"
The Golden Mammoth let out a roar, and the golden light it radiated suddenly surged as if it had ignited its energy. A golden halo even appeared behind its head. The ground around its embedded lower body began to crack, clearly showing that he was about to use a powerful move.
But then, the platinum light in mid-air flickered.
The platinum light from around the Lion-Tiger Sword Saint suddenly converged inward, completely merging into his heavy sword. Under the enhancement of the platinum light, the sword became almost transparent.
The golden blaze was directly split in half by the platinum light, and it continued unimpeded to clash once more with the mammoth demon’s hammers.
BOOM!!!
Both figures spewed blood simultaneously. Big Cat flew backward again, while the Golden Mammoth was now buried in the ground up to its chest.
Big Cat's heavy sword had been shattered, and so had the Golden Mammoth's twin hammers.
Both of their hands were split open, and blood was flowing like rivers.
Big Cat landed far away, staggering continuously and spitting blood before finally falling on his butt.
Even so, he still struggled to get up and walk toward the Golden Mammoth, step by step. And with each step, the platinum light ignited again, still blazing fiercely.
