Roar!
Two enormous beasts resembling tigers let out earth-shaking roars.
Their bodies were covered in dragon scales, long catfish-like whiskers hung from the corners of their mouths, and crocodile-like tails dragged along the ground.
Mu Chen hid behind a boulder, secretly observing them.
"Thirty-second on the Earth Ranking of the Record of Ten Thousand Beasts, Dragon-Scaled Tigers..."
He recognized the identities of these two spirit beasts at a glance. Compared with their kin in the Great Thousand World, their appearance had not changed much. Their strength, however, was formidable; both had reached the Lesser Earthly Sovereign realm.
One of them was wreathed in Demonic Qi, looking vicious and ferocious. Though the other likewise exuded a baleful aura, it lacked the coldness of Demonic Qi's corruption, and its body contained pure spiritual energy.
The two Dragon-Scaled Tigers confronted each other for a while before charging forward. They collided violently, and the terrifying force made the ground tremble.
Unlike the playful sparring between Xiao Huo and Xiao Yan, these two were truly fighting to the death. Fangs sank into flesh, claws tore through meat... In mere moments, blood gushed forth like a waterfall, staining the earth red.
In the Great Thousand World, spirit beasts of this level already possessed the ability to assume human form. Yet these two seemingly lacked sufficient intelligence. They fought only through their innate instincts, without much variation in their moves.
The battle did not last long. The Dragon-Scaled Tiger covered in Demonic Qi quickly gained the upper hand. It bit down on its opponent's throat and brutally tore off its head.
As the battle subsided, it panted lightly, its nose twitching twice before its yellow-orange eyes abruptly turned toward Mu Chen's hiding place.
It let out a roar and pounced at Mu Chen like a starving tiger.
