The Battle for Dominance

“The most impatient ones often meet their demise first,” warned Five-Foot Zhan Ru, his face serious, as he tried to dissuade the eager Little Zhong Chi.

For once, Little Zhong Chi didn’t argue with Five-Foot Zhan Ru, as his words made sense.

He replied, “Ugly Tree, once we confirm the Tiger King’s death, you will block the surrounding beast kings while I seize the opportunity to escape with the Tiger King’s treasures.”

“Me?” Five-Foot Zhan Ru widened his eyes in surprise.

“Of course, what else are you going to do with all those branches of yours?” Little Zhong Chi took it for granted.

“Little ancestor, don’t be fooled by the abundance of my branches. They are more for show than for practical use.”

Five-Foot Zhan Ru said with a bitter smile, clearly reluctant.

“Enough! After consuming so many beast kings with me, we are just one step away from the ritual. I am well aware of your strength. Rest assured, your role is only to obstruct, not to risk your life.”
