Chapter 882 - 858: Fierce Battle (3/3)
The Twin-Winged Demon Tiger merely glanced at Zhou Heng and his companions with disdain, lowering its head and extending its fiery red tongue to sip a few gulps of water before it looked at them again.
There was some murderous intent, but more so disdain. In the eyes of the Star King, whether Bright Immortal or Creation Emperor, they were no different from ants—just three morsels of food.
"Retreat!"
Zhou Heng said softly. The three of them—man, donkey, and dog—could not possibly defeat the Star King in a battle, fighting to the death was meaningless—unless the Golden Dragon Empress could end her seclusion! However, having just entered the Stellar Realm, possessing only the lowest tier of twenty stars, she was also likely no match for this Demon Tiger.
The Black Donkey was naturally the least inclined to fight—tricking and deceiving were its forte, but facing an opponent head-on was entirely beyond its capabilities. Yet Little Fire was fiercely brave, constantly baring its teeth and growling at the Demon Tiger, showing no sign of fear.
Zhou Heng grasped the soft skin on Little Fire’s neck, lifting it up as he retreated step by step.
They dared not move too quickly, lest they provoke a thunderous attack from this Demon Beast. Hopefully, this beast was already satiated and uninterested in the three of them.
Yet the Demon Tiger evidently wasn’t willing to let them off. It was merely a Star King, capturing and killing demon beasts of the same realm was extremely difficult. Bright Immortals and Creation Emperors were more suited to its diet.
Especially Zhou Heng and Little Fire—one exuding essence blood into the sky, the other possessing Divine Beast bloodline; to it, they were supreme nourishment and absolutely not something it could pass up.
With a light leap, wings gliding, its speed was incredibly fast, already intercepting Zhou Heng and his companions, its tiger head arrogantly raised, still displaying an expression of disdain.
Demon Beasts of this level had fully developed intelligence—speaking human language would be simple. But Demon Beasts naturally had their own pride, how could they stoop to learning human speech? Moreover, they had no malicious hobby of toying with humans before consumption.
"Looks like this fight is unavoidable!" the Black Donkey muttered.
