Animal, you dare!

The entire arena fell into silence.

Everyone stared in disbelief at the scene unfolding before them. Was it really possible?

The mighty and renowned Flame Lion was effortlessly defeated by that small white creature in just an instant?

What kind of species was this white creature?

"Haha, what a pathetic Flame Lion. It's ridiculous that everyone praised it for such a feeble fighting power," Xia Zhiqing couldn't help but burst into laughter. All the praise and admiration for the Flame Lion, and even Nangong Aochen treating it as a treasure, had come to this easy resolution.

The royal family had invested so much resources and effort into nurturing such a useless beast?

However, while Xia Zhiqing laughed, Gong Shaoqing and the others didn't. Their gazes were fixed on the white lion.

It seemed they had underestimated the white lion all along.

"I knew that Red-dressed's contracted beast couldn't possibly be a mere ornamental creature," Cui Haoyan sighed with amazement, still feeling a profound shock.

When they first learned that Baili Hongzhuang had a contracted beast like this, they found it unimaginable. After all, Baili Hongzhuang was never one to indulge in superficiality.

Ornamental creatures were favored by noble ladies with little combat strength, but for cultivators, such creatures only held them back.

All the previous confusion suddenly cleared up when they witnessed the white lion's actions. It was like a tiger in sheep's clothing!

"Like master, like beast. The white lion's combat power is as abnormal as its master," Bai Junyu shook his head speechlessly. Fortunately, he was teammates with Baili Hongzhuang. Otherwise, offending such an opponent would be truly disastrous.

Gong Shaoqing took a deep breath, calming his shaken heart. The Flame Lion was a fifth-level cultivator in the Scarlet Realm, which meant this seemingly unremarkable and adorable little beast also possessed at least fifth-level Scarlet Realm strength.

Baili Hongzhuang... was truly heaven-defying.

Nangong Yue'er and the others were dumbfounded. They knew full well the true strength of the Flame Lion. It was a genuine fifth-level Scarlet Realm creature, even stronger than an ordinary fifth-level cultivator!

Yet, with just one clash, the Flame Lion was left with only half its life remaining. What kind of contracted beast did Baili Hongzhuang possess?

As Nangong Aochen saw the fallen Flame Lion, his face turned iron-blue.

Ever since he was young, he had contracted the Flame Lion. The Flame Lion had accompanied him throughout his growth, holding a significant place in his heart. He even regarded the Flame Lion as family!

The white lion chewed on the flesh of the Flame Lion and swallowed it in one bite, relishing the attention from the crowd.

Now, everyone would know the true capability of the white lion!

In the next moment, the white lion pounced at the Flame Lion once again. The taste of the Flame Lion's flesh was quite good.

"Wu wu..."

As the Flame Lion saw the white lion approaching again, a trace of panic appeared in its eyes. It was no match for the white lion at all!

Witnessing the white lion's actions, Nangong Aochen's eyes were bloodshot. He immediately launched his Heavenly Demon Palm towards the white lion!
