Chapter 1020: Substitute Lotus Seed
Both combatants were Great Demon Kings, with the Savage Tiger King being a veteran at the pinnacle of that realm. And while Big Cat had yet to reach the pinnacle, he was definitely among the strong within the Great Demon Kings. For beings of their level, unleashing their full power made it no easy task to change moves midway through. Once anyone tried to change their move, they would instantly fall into disadvantage.
In the Savage Tiger King's vocabulary, the word "fear" simply did not exist. His opponent suddenly risking it all was beyond his expectations, but at this moment, he didn't hesitate at all. His twin Demon King Swords burst with even stronger dark-golden light, still cleaving toward Big Cat. At the same time, his burly body twisted, and a bizarre scene unfolded. As Big Cat's slash came at him, his chest seemed to cave inward and then rebounded fiercely, accompanied by a burst of light. He was actually using his chest to forcibly take Big Cat's sweeping strike!
Not only that, but the shoes he was wearing scattered apart, releasing a dark-golden glow that became a barrier around his body. Clearly, they were some kind of single-use defensive item.
The twin Demon King Swords tore through Big Cat's protective Lion-Tiger Golden Force like rotted wood, directly striking his shoulder and head. Big Cat's head was chopped in half, and his shoulder was split open down to the middle of his chest.
Meanwhile, Big Cat's full-force sweeping God-Slaying Sword ruthlessly slashed upward, also breaking through the dark-golden glow rising from Hong Hong's feet and striking his rebounding chest.
The explosive power of the Lion-Tiger Golden Force showed itself perfectly in that instant. Amid the sharp sound of breaking bones, the Savage Tiger King's chest was cleaved open.
If not for the surging dark-golden light pouring forth like tides, he would have been chopped in two like a pig carcass. And even so, half of his chest was split open in what was clearly a lethal wound. Blood spurted wildly, broken bones and torn flesh flying in every direction.
The spectators held their breath. Even with the previous matches still fresh in their mind, no one had expected this lion-tiger clash to be so brutal.
It was only their second collision, yet both sides were grievously wounded.
The Savage Tiger King was not yet dead, however. His twin Demon King Swords hacked at the God-Slaying Sword, sending it and Big Cat's mangled body flying. He then took out a fruit from his storage ring and quickly stuffed it in his mouth.
