Roar!
Ziyue transformed into a creature tens of meters long, resembling a tiger and a leopard, its body exuding a ferocious aura.
Its roars were frenzied, as if it possessed an endless wellspring of malevolent energy to unleash.
Soon, it spotted the colossal body of the dragon lizard and charged forward with extreme ferocity.
"Hmm?"
The enraged dragon lizard froze, momentarily confused by the situation.
You killed my subordinate and you're still this arrogant?
Boom!
The fierce Ziyue, enveloped in purple light, instantly appeared before the dragon lizard.
Its body underwent another transformation, becoming chains that bound the dragon lizard tightly in place while draining its life energy.
Roar!
The dragon lizard, after a brief pause, erupted in fury.
While it had long been reclusive, this did not imply a gentle disposition; it immediately went berserk.
In an instant, the two beast emperors commenced a full-scale battle, sparing no effort.
The immense power of their clash spread, causing the surrounding fierce beasts to tremble and silently retreat, moving tens of thousands of meters away.
As expected of beast emperors, they fight when it's time to fight!
Various terrifying ultimate skills were unleashed, clearly indicating that both combatants were genuinely enraged.
"Crazy again?"
The dragon lizard swung its massive tail, forcing Ziyue the fierce beast back. It also sensed the other's berserk state.
However, it still held nothing back and lunged again for a bite.
In the beast world, insanity is no excuse for arrogance...
More importantly, it detected that the other party's injuries had not yet healed, and its strength was far from its peak.
Indeed, after several hours of fierce combat,
Ziyue the fierce beast had fallen completely into a disadvantageous position, transforming back into a crescent moon.
At the center of the moon was a black hole, from which emanated terrifying flames that continuously scorched its body.
This was precisely the arrow left by Old Qiao!
The battle with the dragon lizard had exacerbated Ziyue's original injury, rendering its body even weaker.
Roar!
It let out a painful roar, and the intense pain caused its mind to cease its frenzied state, restoring its clarity.
"Wait..."
Boom boom—
Before it could finish speaking, a massive tail swept over, seeming to nigh shatter space itself.
In an instant, Ziyue was sent flying back over a thousand meters, letting out a roar of anger.
The dragon lizard, however, pounced, pursuing with lightning speed.
Its blood-red eyes locked onto Ziyue, and it resumed close-quarters combat, unleashing a brutal and merciless assault!
Now, it was not only seeking revenge for its subordinate but also to make Ziyue realize who the ruler of the "Demon's Lair" was!
This was a battle to determine dominance!
Ziyue attempted to explain, but the other party ignored it, fighting even more ferociously.
For a time, Ziyue felt immense frustration, forced into a purely defensive posture.
If not for its current strength being less than fifty percent, how could it be so brutally beaten by a junior beast emperor...
Another two hours gradually passed.
The dragon lizard finally ceased its assault, looking down at Ziyue before it.
The latter's luminescence had dimmed, its aura disordered, clearly suffering significant injuries.
"Why did you kill the King-tier Lord?!"
The dragon lizard's gaze was fierce as it questioned Ziyue, "Are you trying to provoke a war with the Beast Emperors?!"
The current era was dominated by beast emperors. As for the Forbidden Mist Great Beasts, most were imprisoned, with only a handful appearing in the world, making them naturally incapable of resisting.
Ziyue took a deep breath, suppressing the killing intent in its heart, and said,
"Killed a lord? What are you talking about?!"
"It wasn't you who killed them?!"
The dragon lizard responded with mockery, saying,
"In two days, over two thousand King-tier Lords have vanished. Besides you, are there any other fierce beasts in the Demon's Lair capable of such a feat?"
"Do you really think I'm crazy? Why would I kill King-tier Lords?!"
The dragon lizard retorted, "Aren't you crazy?"
"..."
Ziyue's words faltered, then it said, "Let me repeat, this emperor did not kill any King-tier Lords!"
The dragon lizard scrutinized Ziyue, a hint of contemplation in its eyes, seemingly weighing the veracity of its words.
At this moment, Ziyue spoke again,
"And the resources in my territory were also plundered clean. Wasn't it you?"
"You were plundered?"
The dragon lizard was slightly taken aback, no wonder the other party had been so frenzied upon meeting.
"In the entire lair, only you could have done it, right?"
"Do you think it was me?"
The dragon lizard scoffed, "I rule the entire Demon's Lair. Would I be short of your meager possessions?" Da Feng Novel Network
Ziyue also calmed down, its eyes reflecting thought.
If the other party initiated a life-or-death battle over a mere resource, wouldn't that be pure idiocy?
The two beast emperors gradually quelled their anger and began to ponder the culprit.
"Could it be humans?"
The dragon lizard mused, recalling the repulsive aura it had detected earlier.
However, this was merely a feeling, and it was somewhat uncertain.
More importantly, could that audacious bandit truly slay a three-star King-tier Lord without a trace?
"Humans?"
Ziyue the fierce beast also pondered. It had complete control over the Forbidden Mist, and any creature entering would be detected immediately.
Unless it was a legendary Beast Tamer!
But the legendary Beast Tamers of humanity were currently occupied.
Neither of their hypotheses seemed to hold true.
Just as the two beast emperors were contemplating,
A King-tier black flying insect slowly approached and whispered something into the dragon lizard's ear.
The normally calm dragon lizard instantly erupted in fury, shouting,
"Hundreds of King-tier fierce beast corpses are outside your territory?!"
"Huh? What?"
Ziyue blinked, utterly bewildered.
Roar!
The dragon lizard's blood-red eyes blazed with renewed fury, and it transformed into a blur once more, lunging to attack Ziyue.
The two beast emperors resumed their battle!
"Damn lizard, are you really going to force my hand?!"
Ziyue the fierce beast was also enraged, its sanity teetering on the edge.
"You are provoking this emperor!"
The dragon lizard opened its massive maw and fiercely bit at Ziyue, even swallowing the purple light emanating from it.
It had actually suspected Ziyue of being framed.
But after the previous battle, it had sensed the other party's weakness...
If it didn't strike hard now, when would it?
Ziyue the fierce beast was an unstable factor. If it could be kept in a weakened state, it would naturally pose no threat.
It had made up its mind.
Periodically, it would pummel Ziyue the fierce beast, ensuring its injuries never fully healed.
As for annihilating it, it hadn't considered that; even if successful, it would come at a terrible cost.
Under the dragon lizard's calculated intentions, the battle between the two intensified.
Ziyue the fierce beast's injuries were fully aggravated, its body becoming extremely weak, leaving it with no choice but to silently endure the beating...
Meanwhile, Chen Shu, the true culprit, had long since made his escape...
