Chapter 1019: Mutual Destruction?
Certainly, one could say that the White Tiger Demon Emperor had shown mercy due to not wanting to leave the tiger race without such a powerful figure. But even so, he was ranked fourth among the Demon Emperors, famous for his terrifying killing intent, and most certainly not known for going easy on those who had the gall to challenge his authority. That the Savage Tiger King still had all his limbs attached following that "spar" spoke volumes about his formidable strength.
In this Battle for the Throne, he was unsurprisingly one of the seeded contestants, and as the deputy city lord of White Tiger City, he rested in the city lord's VIP pavilion.
The White Tiger Demon Emperor was the Lord of White Tiger City. Because he had no legitimate heir to inherit his position, he had never given up the role. Meanwhile, the Savage Tiger King had never shown much respect for him. He had his own faction, mainly of the Golden Tiger lineage.
It could even be said that he eagerly awaited the day the White Tiger Demon Emperor would die so he could take his place.
The strength of this Savage Tiger King was indeed terrifying. It was he who had grievously wounded the previous Golden Lion King, leading to him dying and the God-Slaying Sword becoming masterless.
By inheriting the God-Slaying Sword, Big Cat had inherited that karmic bond. And this Battle for the Throne was the perfect opportunity to challenge this opponent.
"Contestants, prepare," the Sunborne Nymph Emperor said calmly.
The two equally burly figures, both radiating powerful killing intent, faced each other.
The Savage Tiger King had a rather odd name—Hong Hong. It was said that at birth, he was constantly groaning threateningly rather than crying, and thus was named after the sounds he was making. His bloodline had mutated significantly; though different from his brother's, it too was at the peak of the second tier, brushing the threshold of the first tier. If he became an Emperor, his bloodline would fully evolve, and his descendants would be even more powerful.
"Begin!"
