Lion and Tiger Fight

Wind-Howling Ferocious Tiger?

This is no ordinary tiger, but a powerful Ferocious Beast that ranks as a Tier 4 threat even in its adult stage!

Its opponent, the Crimson Flame Ferocious Lion, is no pushover either, possessing strength comparable to the Wind-Howling Ferocious Tiger.

To think someone actually filmed their battle and released it online for free!

Such a high view count couldn't be faked. Chen Mochuan felt a surge of excitement and immediately entered the immersive video, which featured a highly sensational title.

As his consciousness merged with the feed, the scenery before him shifted rapidly, and his five senses were instantly activated.

The sweltering air, heavy with the scent of sulfur and scorched earth, rushed into his nostrils. The crimson, cracked earth steamed with heat waves, and the gravel on the ground crackled under the intense heat, as if emitting faint, mournful cries.

At the edge of his vision, jagged black rock mountains swayed within the distorted heat haze.

This was the Scorching Wind Rift Valley near the Black Rock Volcano, a high-risk Wilderness Zone often mentioned on the internet.

Chen Mochuan looked around and soon spotted the silhouettes of two massive figures confronting each other in the distance.

He immediately zoomed in his perspective, moving to the center of the canyon, and only then did he see the full appearance of the two giant beasts.

The Wind-Howling Ferocious Tiger, its blue-gray fur flowing with a metallic, cold luster, stood with its head held high. The gravel beneath its feet was swept up by invisible air currents, forming hissing, suspended vortices.

Its opponent, the Crimson Flame Ferocious Lion, had a thick mane that looked like surging lava, emitting scorching flames. Its amber vertical pupils were locked onto the tiger, and with every breath, sparks that could ignite the air burst from between its teeth.

The battle began with a deafening lion's roar!

Chen Mochuan only saw two blurs of light colliding; he couldn't see the specific details of the fight at all. He immediately realized that the two beasts were moving too fast, and his own strength was too weak to capture the combat.

He hurriedly slowed down the playback speed of the immersive video and dragged the progress bar back to the start of the fight, only then seeing the full picture of the battle.

The Crimson Flame Ferocious Lion lunged like a white-hot fireball, and the Wind-Howling Ferocious Tiger retreated rapidly by riding the wind. However, the wide-range flame attack still scorched its shoulder, the smell of charred flesh mixing with the crackling sound of burning fur piercing his eardrums.

The Ferocious Lion pressed its advantage, opening its massive maw to unleash a pillar of white-hot flame. The Ferocious Tiger dodged by a hair's breadth; the pillar of fire that brushed past it melted the rocks, carving a boiling, glass-like trench into the ground.

While dodging and weaving, the Ferocious Tiger also manipulated the wind to launch a wind blade at the Ferocious Lion, carving a wound into its side, though no blood flowed out.

The Ferocious Tiger could control the wind and possessed more agile footwork. It didn't engage in close-quarters combat with the Ferocious Lion but circled it, occasionally launching wind blades to counterattack. Although it appeared slightly at a disadvantage, it only suffered minor burns to its fur.

The Ferocious Lion's state was much the same; there were fine, dense wounds on its flesh cut by the wind blades, but with its protective flames, these were all superficial injuries.

Just like that, hundreds of exchanges passed between the two beasts. Neither side had unleashed a finishing move, and the battle fell into a stalemate.

Just as Chen Mochuan thought this would be a war of attrition testing their stamina, a turning point arrived on the battlefield.

The Crimson Flame Ferocious Lion, which had been wary of the wind blades, suddenly changed its strategy. Ignoring the three wind blades flying toward its side, it merely adjusted its posture slightly to avoid vital injury and charged head-on at the Ferocious Tiger, swinging its flaming claws to slam into the tiger's massive head.

The Ferocious Tiger, suffering a heavy blow, let out a miserable howl and hurriedly retreated by riding the wind, but most of the fur on its face had been scorched away, and even the "King" character on its forehead was now mangled.

The pained Wind-Howling Ferocious Tiger was enraged. Its tail, like a steel whip, shattered a black boulder three people high. The air currents around its body shrieked as they condensed into wind blades, which, carrying countless rock fragments, shot toward the Crimson Flame Ferocious Lion.

The Crimson Flame Ferocious Lion was unfazed. Blinding flames ignited around its body, melting the incoming rocks and wind blades one by one, and it roared as it closed in on the Ferocious Tiger again.

But suddenly, it seemed to sense something amiss. It stopped its advance, rolled on the ground, and an incredibly swift, invisible wind blade grazed its scalp, directly tearing a deep gash into the earth.

Swish!

The Crimson Flame Ferocious Lion's prized lava mane was shorn off at the roots, a line of blood burst from its neck, and its protective flames were sliced open by the wind blade, with blood instantly splattering across half its face.

The enraged Ferocious Lion ignited with blinding white light. Ignoring the numerous wind blades attacking it, it turned into a meteor and lunged at the Ferocious Tiger.

Just as the Crimson Flame Ferocious Lion's lethal scorching flame was less than three meters from the Ferocious Tiger's head, a sudden change occurred!

Awoo—hum!!!

The muscles in the Wind-Howling Ferocious Tiger's throat twisted and vibrated like steel wires, and a sonic wave carrying sharp wind pressure swept across the battlefield!

Where the sound wave passed, sand and stones flew. The Crimson Flame Ferocious Lion's flames collapsed instantly, its lunging motion froze, and it crashed to the ground like a statue.

The Ferocious Tiger sprang up to bite and maul the Ferocious Lion.

In the end, the Crimson Flame Ferocious Lion howled and fled in a sorry state, while the Wind-Howling Ferocious Tiger roared at the sky, declaring its victory to all living things nearby.

However, just as the Ferocious Tiger lowered its head to lick its wounds, it suddenly looked up, its amber tiger eyes locking onto the exact position where Chen Mochuan was!

That gaze was filled with a murderous, bloodthirsty aura as if from a mountain of corpses. The moment Chen Mochuan was targeted, a chill shot from his spine to the top of his skull, and his body felt as if it were restrained by an invisible force, unable to move a single inch!

But the next second, the murderous aura in the tiger's eyes was replaced by extreme terror. A whimper like a kitten's cry squeezed from its throat, and it actually tucked its tail and fled in a panic toward the distance...

The image froze there and came to an abrupt end.

Chen Mochuan, having just experienced such emotional highs and lows, finally came back to his senses, realizing he was inside an immersive video.

The encounter just now had been too realistic, causing him to have the illusion of being there in person, leading him to mistakenly believe he had truly been targeted by a Wind-Howling Ferocious Tiger.

He also immediately understood that the Wind-Howling Ferocious Tiger wasn't looking at him at the end, but at the powerhouse hidden nearby who had filmed this immersive video.

He hadn't expected this cameraman to possess such strength, being able to make a Wind-Howling Ferocious Tiger—which had just defeated a strong enemy and was at the peak of its ferocity—instantly terrified enough to tuck its tail and flee!

Looking at it this way, this person had to be at least a Core Formation Realm Martial Artist, if not stronger.

Chen Mochuan looked again at the frozen post-battle scene. Countless giant rocks were shattered, the hard earth was scarred and riddled with holes, and deep trenches and scorch marks from flames covered the ground, all testifying to the terrifying destructive power of a Tier 4 Ferocious Beast.

Recalling how he had been so terrified that his whole body had gone rigid and unable to move just from a casual glare from a virtual Wind-Howling Ferocious Tiger, his face couldn't help but burn.

Although it was understandable, that sense of powerlessness deep in his bones branded him, burning him, and a strong sense of unwillingness surged in his heart.

Knowing shame and then becoming brave, he knew deeply that he must constantly grow stronger—strong enough to face any danger, strong enough to possess the confidence and power to support everything!
