Chapter 122: Chapter 121: Ninth Stage King of Winged Tigers

```Wu Bingji's mouth twitched, and he turned his head to look at Tang San. After hearing the roar of the tiger, he had given up any thoughts of escaping. Because there was no chance of getting away. Facing a higher-stage Winged Tiger, with their speed, it was simply impossible to escape.

He muttered to himself, "Half gone, half gone!"

Tang San glanced at him, his own mouth twitching slightly. Who would have thought that their eldest senior brother was actually a miser at heart?

Only he understood what Wu Bingji meant. The town chief accompanied them for protection, and if they encountered insurmountable forces, the chief would step in. But if the chief intervened, they would have to give up half of their gains. At least half of the Winged Tiger's profit!

That's why Wu Bingji felt so helpless.

Such spoils that had just come into their hands! They had achieved the hunt on their own strength! Now it seemed, the chief had to take action.

However, Tang San's thoughts weren't on this. His Heavenly Fox Eye told him something different.

If it were trouble that the chief could handle, they should be safe, from a luck standpoint. Although Du Bai wouldn't feel it directly, the Heavenly Fox Eye's perception of luck wouldn't backlash so severely. The same was true for himself. After all, he had divine consciousness within his Sea of Spirit, his means of preserving his life. Thus, his sense of danger wasn't as intense as Du Bai's, intense enough to bring one to tears.

Even so, what he felt was a lethal threat! That meant...

The starlight and moonlight in the sky suddenly dimmed at this moment. Sёarᴄh the NôvelFire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

A massive figure descended from the sky.

With a wingspan of over twelve meters, and a body length of more than eight meters, its brownish fur was tinged with a faint dark golden gleam. The terrifying aura, with its unmatched pressure, was making everything around tremble. The crystalline yellow eyes, filled with streaks of blood, fury, and madness, were suffused with terrifying fluctuations of vital energy, as if the density of the qi and blood around its body had become viscous.

In Tang San's gaze, the wind element in the air was frantically converging towards that massive body. The starlight and moonlight shone on its back, revealing a dark golden halo.

"What in the world is that..." Gu Li uttered dumbfoundedly.

In his memory, in the stories from his teachers, Winged Tigers weren't supposed to look like this!

This... it's too huge, too big...

A giant tiger with a body length of eight meters and a wingspan of over twelve meters. What kind of creature was this?

Wu Bingji's lips trembled slightly, and at that moment, he was no longer concerned with the material possessions they were about to lose, "Ki-King of Winged Tigers..."

Indeed, this was not an adult Winged Tiger. Adult Winged Tigers are at the Seventh Stage, and at their peak, as well as those with slightly stronger bloodlines, had the opportunity to reach the Eighth Stage.

But now, the Demon Beast that presented itself before them, full of madness and resentment, was not a Seventh or Eighth Stage Winged Tiger. The dark gold gleam already showed its powerful bloodline.

The most powerful bloodline among the Monsters clan is known as the golden bloodline, which are the direct lines of all the great monsters. Demon Beasts with unawakened wisdom cannot possess the golden bloodline. The most powerful Demon Beasts can only evolve a trace of dark gold in their bloodline. Unless their wisdom is awakened in the future, they cannot obtain the golden bloodline.

And a Demon Beast with a trace of dark gold bloodline is the king among Demon Beasts, standing at the very top of the Demon Beast food chain.

Therefore, what they were facing at this very moment was no longer just a Winged Tiger, but a Ninth-stage King of Winged Tigers!

The outskirts, this was just the outskirts of the Winged Tiger Habitat! How could it be, how is it possible...

King of Winged Tigers... No wonder the juvenile Winged Tiger was at the Sixth Stage instead of the Fifth Stage. It could even possess a Wind Elemental Body and Wind Protective Energy abilities.

```

That must have been the descendant of the King of Winged Tigers. And then, they killed it.

At this moment, what they were about to face was a top-tier, Ninth-stage, unimaginably powerful Demon Beast's frenzied revenge.

"Chengzi, Du Bai, get out of here, fast!" Wu Bingji bellowed, frantically gathering his ice element.

Tang San gave a wry smile, "We can't escape. The wind element in this area has been completely sealed by it, that's the Domain of the Wind attribute. Within this Domain, we simply can't fly."

Indeed, Cheng Zicheng, who was vigorously flapping her wings, couldn't stir up any airflow; she could no longer fly.

"Roar——" The Ninth-stage King of Winged Tigers roared wildly, moving forward with its sturdy limbs, step by step toward them. The immense oppressive force instantly soaked the five young people in sweat.

Gu Li muttered, "Do you think if we give it the body of its child, it might spare us?"

A twitch appeared at the corner of Tang San's mouth as he said, "That would probably make us die even faster."

Just then, suddenly, a blaze shot up into the sky. The dazzling firelight illuminated the sky in an instant, bringing warmth to the earth. In the jungle, every detail became visible. The dark golden fur of the King of Winged Tigers was made even more apparent by the firelight.

"Roar——" The King of Winged Tigers seemed to sense something and roared towards the sky.

The ball of fire that had risen high now descended from the sky like a meteor chasing the moon, turning into a massive fire meteor that headed straight for the King of Winged Tigers.

"It's here!" Wu Bingji let out a slight sigh of relief, with a hint of resignation flashing in his eyes. Yes, the chief has arrived. The savior has finally come!

The King of Winged Tigers flapped its huge wings, and a tremendously powerful green light soared into the sky, spinning like a green dragon tornado that changed the color of the heavens and the earth wherever it passed.

The green and red lights collided fiercely in the sky. From the ground, one could see a ring of two-colored halos spreading outwards in mid-air. The entire night sky was illuminated in green and red, supremely spectacular.

"Are you waiting to die if you don't run now?" Zhang Haoxuan's roar resounded.

Tang San and the others had already reacted by then, Wu Bingji swiftly ran towards Du Bai, hoisting him onto his back. Tang San, Gu Li, and Cheng Zicheng followed close behind, all of them breaking into a run.

The clash of two Ninth-stage powerhouses was simply not something they could be a part of; even the aftermath could easily devour them!

The King of Winged Tigers let out an angry roar, spreading its wings as two green light blades, each over tens of meters wide, whistled out, flying directly towards them. Wherever they passed, they were unbreakable.

A red shadow descended from the sky, and a tremendous roar followed; it was also a tiger's roar, but it was filled with a blazing intensity.

As the fiery glow landed, it immediately turned the surroundings into a sea of fire, with walls of flame surging forth, managing to block off the massive wind blades.

Zhang Haoxuan's Demon God Transformation was the Flaming Tiger Transformation, derived from the Fierce Flame Tiger. The incredibly powerful Flaming Tiger Transformation displayed an unparalleled robust aura at this moment. Both being of the tiger species, the rank of the Fierce Flame Tiger was actually higher than that of the Winged Tiger; after all, the Winged Tiger was just a Demon Beast, not a Monster. But the difference between the Human's Demon God Transformation and the true Monsters was significant. Therefore, in terms of bloodline, neither side had the upper hand.

However, the Winged Tiger in front of them was the King of Winged Tigers, possessing a trace of the golden bloodline. Its physical strength was not something Zhang Haoxuan could compare with. A Ninth-stage against a Ninth-stage, he had no confidence at all.

With the attack from behind blocked by the chief, Tang San and the others hurried away.

By now, Tang San had realized why he had such a dangerous premonition. This area was the edge of the Winged Tiger Habitat, which meant that within that habitat, there was more than just one Winged Tiger! Although Winged Tigers were not gregarious Demon Beasts, as the King of Winged Tigers, could it also command other members of its species?

Winged Tigers lived in family units; this King of Winged Tigers was undoubtedly the pillar of its family, the most powerful being. If the Winged Tiger they had killed was a child, then, might the King of Winged Tigers have a...
