The Supreme God of Martial Arts novel Chapter 233

However, things seemed to go south now. The Lion King seemed to sense their intentions the moment Elder Guan took off. It understood that these humans were planning to break into the Cave by distracting him.

It roared with fury and stamped its giant legs. The air under his body spread out as if it had been forced out by an impact wave. Then, without any delay, the Lion King turned in the direction where Elder Guan and Steward Meng were climbing as fast as they could. Despite its huge bulk, its speed was amazing, and it started chasing them like a flash.

It also raised its right front leg and a purple ball of light appeared alongside his paws, spinning fiercely. The ball was getting larger and larger as time passed, and within the blink of an eye, it achieved a diameter of nearly an entire meter. Now, the ball was emanating purple flames like the Lion King himself, and an enormous amount of heat was spreading out in all directions.

As cultivators at the Mysterious Realm, both Elder Guan and Steward Meng also possessed the ability of spiritual sense. Even though they were busy with their climbing, they still sensed that the Lion King was chasing them, and both of them felt shocked when they felt a wave of unimaginable and intense heat approaching them and getting closer by the second.

However, the Chief Elder wasn't going to just stand by on seeing the lion go away. He gave a snort of contempt and his body turned into a flash of white light. He then dashed towards the Lion King as fast as his enemy was. In an instant, he had reached alongside it and was matching its pace. His tulwar was spinning in front of him continuously, and the wind that it generated was flying towards the Lion King and suppressing the power of the ball it had created.

The Chief Elder then looked into the Lion King's huge eyes calmly and challenged in a calm voice, "Your opponent is this way, Lion King!"

The Lion King turned his head and looked at him. Its long purple mane was flying in the wind imposingly. It was quite certain that the skills and the power of this old human being was about the same as its own self, and therefore, it wasn't going to be easy for it to win this fight in a single moment.

"Alright, old man! Since you're directly asking me for death, I am going to help you find it! Do you really think that your stupid henchmen can penetrate the defense of the gate? Naive and petty human! Show me what you can do now!" the Lion King roared with laughter.

There was an obvious hint of sarcasm in its voice.

The Chief Elder felt puzzled, wondering why it was so sure of itself even though he was engaged here. Did it have some strong backup plan near the cave?

Both Elder Guan and Steward Meng felt a little relaxed when they saw that the Lion King had been held back by the Chief Elder. Elder Guan waved to the disciples of his sect who had climbed up behind him and shouted, "Come on! Let's destroy the gate in a single fling!"

However, before his words could reach the ears of the disciples, a mighty roar came from the forest not very far away from them.

"What's the hurry, humans! Don't be so rude!"

The next moment, the towering trees at the north-eastern end of the forest were forced to either sides at the same time, and a jet-black figure rushed out of it.

"Moo! Moo!"
