Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San-Chapter 1000 - 998: The First Battle, the Contest Between the Wolf and the Leopard

He descended from the sky like a sharp sword, landing squarely in the center of the entire tournament field, not a fraction more, not a fraction less.

Emperor Judge!

From the waiting area, two figures shot out simultaneously, entering the battlefield and taking positions on opposite sides.

The atmosphere among the spectators instantly heated up. The long-awaited battle for the throne was about to officially begin.

As these two contestants landed, their auras already began to skyrocket wildly.

Around the competition platform, pillars of light flickered, casting a faint halo that formed a protective barrier to isolate the inside from the outside, preventing any collateral damage to bystanders.

The Sword Saint Big Demon Emperor, standing in the center of the field, seemed to do nothing, yet the aura of the two contestants could only continue to rise within their own sides, unable to reach the other party.

These two contestants belonged to different races. On the left side, a man who appeared to be in his forties, had a human form with golden short hair and brownish-yellow eyes. However, as his aura rose, bursts of golden light erupted from him. Behind him, a massive phantom shadow emerged, remarkably resembling a leopard with a brownish-yellow body and patches of golden spots.

Money Leopard Demon King. Golden bloodline!

All golden bloodlines are Level 2 Bloodlines. This individual, in particular, is the current patriarch and the strongest member of the Money Leopard Clan.

His human form was almost indistinguishable from that of humans, and the closer one's form is to human, the stronger their cultivation base is considered.

There has never been an Emperor from the Money Leopard lineage, and this patriarch who came to compete naturally wanted to give it his all.

His adversary, coincidentally, belonged to the Wolf Monster Clan, the sworn enemy of the Leopard Demon Clan. Compared to the Money Leopard Demon King, this Wolf Monster was much more robust, standing over four meters tall with a wolf head on a human body, covered in golden fur from head to back, muscles bulging throughout his body, exuding a sense of explosive power.

Seeing the two opponents before him, Tang San couldn't help but recall a scene from his early years after his rebirth in the Demon Monster Land. It was he who had ignited the feud between the Wolf Monster and Leopard Demon Clans, seizing the opportunity amidst the chaos. The first two Bloodline Brands he acquired were from the Wind Wolf Tribe and Flash Leopard Clan.

And now, the two before him were undoubtedly the strongest of the Wolf Monster and Leopard Demon Clans at present.

"Begin!" As soon as the icy voice of the Sword Saint Big Demon Emperor rang out, his true form turned into a beam of sword light that shot up into the sky. The auras of the two contestants, which had been isolated on their respective sides, suddenly and fiercely collided.

Both from the Golden Species, both with Level 2 Bloodlines, as well as Great Demon King Peak Level cultivation bases. The moment their auras collided, the entire space seemed to twist violently, and the pillars of light that formed the barrier shook, rippling with waves. If one's divine consciousness was not strong enough, it would be impossible to see clearly what was happening inside the battlefield in that instant.

The auras and divine consciousness of the two Big Demon Kings fiercely clashed immediately. The bloodline phantom shadows that had condensed behind them charged towards each other.

The true forms of the Money Leopard Demon King and the Golden Wolf Demon King also charged at each other like lightning.

Both species were best at close combat, and even at the level of a Big Demon King, they were not lacking in remote attack techniques. However, when facing off against existences of similar cultivation, close combat remained their best choice.

Therefore, the two charged at their adversaries without hesitation.

The Money Leopard Demon King's speed was clearly faster, and it almost instantly appeared before the Golden Wolf Demon King. Its body transformed into gold in an instant, and its clawed hands lashed out simultaneously, aiming for the Golden Wolf Demon King's neck and chest.

The Golden Wolf Demon King's body also shone brilliantly with golden light, and it let out a piercing wolf howl. All at once, the sky on its side began to darken, with the faint image of a full moon shining through the gloom.

With a "bang", the Money Leopard Demon King's body was rebounded, while the Golden Wolf Demon King now sported a set of gleaming golden armor. In a flickering motion, backed by the moonlight, it suddenly split off a clone that looked exactly like its original body. Both figures pounced toward the Money Leopard Demon King at the same time.

The Money Leopard Demon King flickered midair, each golden pattern on its body lighting up, and the next moment, its figure became suddenly illusory. In the midst of the battlefield, a series of insubstantial shadows suddenly appeared. They were not as solid as the clone of the Golden Wolf Demon King, but these illusions moved with incredible speed, rapidly charging in the direction of the Golden Wolf Demon King.

The two sides did not engage in any tentative strikes but instead utilized their full strength right from the start.

Piercing roars and especially sharp, screeching friction sounds continuously erupted. These were the noises produced by the Money Leopard Demon King's claws scraping against the Golden Wolf Demon King's armor.

Their collision instantly escalated to an intense state.

For a moment, the scorching aura of their bloodlines made the blood of the spectators boil. The battle between the two top Demon Kings filled the entire kilometer-wide arena with golden light.

The two were evenly matched in strength. The Golden Wolf Demon King's armor had strong defensive power, but the Money Leopard Demon King's dark golden claw guards also possessed extraordinary attack force. One had the advantage in speed, and the other in explosive strength. For the time being, neither could gain the upper hand.

The Golden Wolf Demon King employed exceptionally fierce tactics. You are faster than me? Fine, I won't defend and let you attack, presenting full of openings. But the moment you attack me, I'll strike back, and we'll see who can't endure. Although it couldn't hit the Money Leopard Demon King every time, relying on its explosive strength, its attacks could occasionally land on the Money Leopard Demon King, at least shattering one of its illusions.

Both were top-tier close-combat experts, and soon enough, they began to sustain injuries.

The Golden Wolf Demon King's golden armor was covered in claw marks, but the Money Leopard Demon King was in even worse shape as, under one explosive move from the Golden Wolf Demon King that produced a ten-meter long claw swipe, the right half of the Money Leopard Demon King's body was torn open with two deep wounds that reached the bone.

The two races were naturally hostile to each other, showing no intention of holding back and fighting desperately.

Tang San noticed that both sides were continuously consuming medicine during the battle, and they were not taking healing medication, but rather something that seemed to trigger a burst of their bloodline power. Gradually, broken pieces of armor appeared in the air, along with scattered flesh and blood. Golden blood splattered across the competition stage, and both combatants' eyes were bloodshot.

Based on the strength of these two opponents, they were definitely among the later contenders in the competition. Even so, the outbreak of a melee between the Demon Kings was tremendously fearsome.

The fierce clash persisted for a full quarter of an hour, and thanks to their respective self-healing abilities, they were barely able to hold on, but their attack speed had noticeably slowed down.

"Boom—" Another harsh collision occurred, and both parties landed on their respective sides. Although their auras had clearly weakened, they seemed even more dangerous.

The left arm of the Money Leopard Demon King hung limp, evidently unable to continue the battle. The Golden Wolf Demon King's armor was half-destroyed, exposing its body which had dozens of claw marks on it.

The competition stage was a complete mess, with signs of collision everywhere.

Both sides were breathing somewhat heavily, their eyes fiercely vicious.

"Awoo—" The Golden Wolf Demon King howled up to the sky, and the moonlight behind it instantly brightened. Its own aura began to rise frenetically, and its wounds visibly healed at a visible rate. Its body also grew more imposing. The muscles swelled to an exaggerated extent. Over its original golden body emerged a pearly white glow, rendering its fur a platinum white.
