Pretending To Be A Boss

835: Chapter 33: The Battle Ends 835: Chapter 33: The Battle Ends Tang Xian has never disliked arrogant people, especially those with pride in their bones.

Even though he was calculating Junlin from the start, Junlin’s show of spirit at this moment somewhat garnered his admiration.

He retreated even further.

Red Emperor said:

“Since you are so determined, I wish you luck in surviving.”

[Enough talk, battle!]

The black fog surged violently, and the dragon attacked ferociously, its momentum far stronger than the previous assault.

The scene before him was like the sea water rapidly turning black, or as if the battlefield was shrouded in a massive cloud of darkness.

Junlin seemed to know this was its last fight, at this moment it didn’t care about its so-called mission, fighting with relish, it just wanted to let its wild nature take control for a hysterical showdown.

The battlefield, bathed in red light, was quickly engulfed by the vast blackness, with only a red spear shining like a meteor streaking across the night sky!

The fists of Junlin and Red Emperor finally touched.

Tang Xian instinctively sensed danger, assuming a defensive posture.

Indistinctly, he seemed to see a huge black tyrannosaur devour the Red Emperor, as if seeing a crimson spear piercing through the tyrannosaur.

The collision of these two tangible fists of wind happened so fast that Tang Xian didn’t manage to get a clear view.

He found himself in the very heart of the most powerful explosion.

Then he subconsciously closed his eyes.

Because everything in his view began to distort.

Seconds later, the hungry sea became like a waking monster, increasingly ferocious.

Everything in the water, as if a complete world was collapsing amidst the most violent tremors,

The destructive energy spread outwards, rocks, corals, the underwater mountain ranges, and even powerful sea beasts all began to disintegrate under the impact of immense forces.

Tang Xian didn’t know how much time had passed; he only felt the entire world had flipped dozens of times.

After several dizzy spells, Tang Xian slowly stabilized himself.

Leaning on the Sea God’s trident, he could segregate these currents, in the depths of the sea, the water would only aid him.

Tang Xian did not do so, for the upcoming battle, he had to withstand Red Emperor’s fists; it was like sampling the aftertaste of the punch in advance.

Tang Xian could guess that probably on the surface, there was also a terribly terrifying tsunami.

The showdown between these two cataclysmic creatures had far exceeded his expectations.

He held the Sea God’s trident, looking down at the huge pit with a diameter of about a kilometer, momentarily unsure about the current state of Junlin and Red Emperor.

He shook his head, completely dispelling the dizzying feeling, and slowly swam towards the edge of the pit.

During this process, Tang Xian saw red light slowly rising from the pitch-black pit.

Moments later, Red Emperor’s figure gradually emerged from the deep pit, with a complex expression looking into the depths of the pit, while saying:

“You are lucky, if not for Junlin’s presence, those creatures from the deep sea alone would hardly hurt me.”

Red Emperor’s armor was completely shattered.

Its true form was that of an upright, red lion.

Tang Xian felt surprised, this creature was a deep-sea organism, but according to records on the Stele by Tang Wen, this creature was actually amphibious, capable of surviving on land as well.

Every feature of Red Emperor corresponded to this creature named “Red Lotus Lion Beast”.

Although the name coined by Tang Wen was that of a naming dud, it was also apt, as the mane of a Red Lotus Lion Beast would resemble burning flames when enraged.

Just like Red Emperor at this moment.

This was precisely what puzzled Tang Xian the most.

“What exactly are you?”

Red Emperor did not answer Tang Xian’s question:

“Junlin has gravely injured me, but whether you can truly gain from our confrontation depends on whether you have the ability.”

Red Emperor stopped looking at the pitch-black pit.

It turned its gaze towards Tang Xian; although the armor was broken, after Junlin’s full-force strike, Red Emperor’s wound had already recovered by a third.

Its recovery speed was certainly not comparable to Tang’s and Tang Xian’s, but among thousands of beasts, it was still a terrifying existence.

This was beyond Tang Xian’s comprehension.

Because the Red Lotus Lion Beast, this organism, was merely a catastrophe-level creature in the records of his father, Tang Wen.

Yet, the power displayed by Red Emperor was of a super-cataclysmic level.

Junlin was the strongest cataclysmic creature Tang Xian ever encountered.

The defeat in this duel between such two creatures turned out to be Junlin’s.

“Could it be that the evolved form of the Red Lotus Lion Beast also looks like this?” Tang Xian wondered.

This world might indeed harbor the possibility to transcend evolutionary limits through sheer effort, but Tang Xian hadn’t pondered that far.

He had no time to think too much; he must seize the chance while Red Emperor’s wounds were not fully healed to defeat him.

“Is Junlin dead?”

“Don’t know, maybe it’s still alive, but it’s as good as dead,” Red Emperor said with a hint of regret in its tone.

Tang Xian nodded and said:

“Before we start fighting, how about we lay our cards on the table?”

Red Emperor knew this human must have some sort of plan.

Now that Junlin’s fate was uncertain, it could no longer pose a threat.

It was time to lay everything out.

“I came for the God’s legacy; Junlin and myself, we are actually opposing existences.

However, in just now’s battle, it earned my respect.

Even though it was so powerful, you still held back against it.”

Red Emperor frowned slightly, this human had noticed that he had held back.

“That punch of Junlin’s possessed the might to destroy heaven and earth, but your method of handling it was using attack as defense.

If you didn’t have the confidence of certain victory, why would you confront it that way?”
