It glared angrily with its tiger eyes, how dare they show such contempt for it, the king!
This is an insult!
Unforgivable!!!
Previously, the tigress would have only intended to engage in a routine battle, primarily to repel the enemy.
Now, in the tigress's eyes, this is a life-or-death struggle.
It will fight the leopard to the death!
An angry tiger is the most difficult to provoke, especially one that has been provoked by the person who provoked it.
The leopard sensed the king's wrath, and this anger instilled a sense of fear in it.
The tigress's eyes, blazing with fury, were fixed on the leopard. Her powerful, steel-like muscles exuded immense strength, and her icy gaze directed at the leopard was as if she were looking at a corpse.
The tigress wasn't afraid of the leopard attacking it; she was just waiting for it to come. If that fool dared to approach, she would unleash her overwhelming power to retaliate!
The leopard was equally formidable; it possessed considerable strength, and aside from being overshadowed by tigers and brown bears, no other animal in the forest dared to confront it directly.
Moreover, its speed and power have been enhanced, with its best speed more than doubling. Today, it is not afraid of tigers at all.
Although both beasts were waiting for the other to attack first, the stalemate did not last long.
They are both seasoned hunters, familiar with each other's methods. If this battle drags on, it will benefit no one.
"Awooo!!!"
"Roar—!!!"
Two deafening roars rang out simultaneously, it was unclear whether one of them had attacked first or whether the two beasts had attacked together.
With a roar, the two beasts pounced at the same time.
The pale golden leopard swiftly attacked, its figure blurring as if it had become a beam of light.
But her swift movements were not enough to deceive the tiger's vision. The tigress coldly watched the leopard pounce, and her striped body lunged forward at the same time.
Silent smoke billowed, and the battle between the top beasts officially began.
Tigers are both powerful and intelligent; how could a tigress be so reckless as to charge at them?
It slammed on the brakes, abruptly halting its forward lunge and stopping its momentum halfway through. A hint of mockery appeared in its tiger eyes.
The leopard, already charging in front of the tiger, cried out in alarm! It had no chance of winning in a direct confrontation!
Realizing it had lost the initiative, the leopard twisted and retreated to the side. Its agile movements and mid-air maneuvering were second nature to it, a skill inherent to its feline nature.
But it clearly forgot that tigers are also felines.
The tigress's mockery intensified. She coldly bared her sharp teeth, instantly turning her body and viciously slapping her paw at the leopard.
As the tiger's paw landed, a hint of pleasure appeared in the tigress's eyes.
Just one strike!
Even if it doesn't scratch the skin, just one slap from it is enough to make this stupid thing unable to get up!
It knew its current strength all too well; the power of this palm strike was enough to shatter rocks. If hit, the golden leopard would be severely injured, if not killed on the spot.
However, the leopard's speed was indeed extraordinary. Even though it turned around at almost the same time, it was still much faster than the tigress.
The sharp tiger claws narrowly grazed the pale golden leopard's body, leaving only three shallow scratches.
Faint traces of blood were left on the tips of the claws; the tigress was not satisfied with the result.
Its attack was meant to kill the leopard!
Is that all?
What good is this shallow wound?
No matter how unwilling the tigress was, the outcome was already decided. This encounter made her realize just how troublesome the leopard's speed was.
The leopard bared its teeth, feeling the pain coming from its side.
Such a minor injury did not deter it; on the contrary, it ignited the ferocity within its bloodline.
"roar!!"
With a roar, the leopard leaped and changed positions around the tigress, trying to use its speed advantage to make her lose her sense of judgment.
Faced with this disruptive tactic, the tigress temporarily abandoned her attack plan. She watched the leopard shifting positions with extreme vigilance, wary of any sudden attack.
This time, the leopard was unusually cautious, seemingly determined to stun the tigress.
The tigress was indeed suffering from this tactic; she disliked being watched and constantly on guard.
In situations like this, it is usually the hunter that has the power to launch an attack at any time!
The irritated tigress growled, but could only keep her eyes fixed on the leopard.
Whether it was her mood that was affected or she was genuinely dizzy from being turned around, the tigress revealed a weakness!
Great opportunity!!
The leopard was overjoyed and immediately charged out, launching its long-planned attack.
