Chapter 264: Chapter 263 Final Battle at Forbidden Peak (Four Updates)
The sun had just risen, a gentle breeze cooling the air.
After a night baptized by the flames of war, the Bull-men had successfully breached Tiger City, slaughtering over thirty thousand Tiger-man soldiers and capturing more than six hundred thousand Tiger-man civilians.
The Bull-men’s losses were not light either, with over fifty thousand dead and over sixty thousand grievously injured.
Had Meng Qi not informed her cousin Shi Feng early on, urging him to bring a large supply of emergency medicine, the Bull-men’s death toll might have climbed even higher.
“Now that Tiger City is in your hands, what do you plan to do next?” Meng Qi asked curiously.
Wang Hao scooped Meng Qi into his arms, grinning wickedly, “Next, I plan to devour a little fox.”
“Ah, you big pervert, let me go…” Meng Qi buried her small head shyly in Wang Hao’s chest, her small hands pounding incessantly against his chest, offering herself up in a way that greatly whetted Wang Hao’s appetite.
“Ahem…”
Just then, a cough shattered the suggestive atmosphere.
Wang Hao looked up to see the Foxman Shi Feng watching them from not too far away.
“It’s cousin, put me down,” Meng Qi pleaded, struggling to free herself from Wang Hao’s arms, her shame intense enough to make her wish she could crawl into a crack in the ground.
“First, let me clarify that I didn’t mean to interrupt the two of you,” Shi Feng approached with a serious expression, “I just received news that the Lion Clan and Tiger Clan have formed an alliance.”
“An alliance!?” Meng Qi exclaimed in shock, “That’s impossible, they were fighting each other to death just last night, how could they possibly form an alliance today?”
“Nothing is impossible,” Wang Hao waved dismissively, “The fall of Tiger City made them quickly realize the whole situation, and the Lion Clan isn’t stupid. With such an opportunity at hand, how could they pass it up?”
Shi Feng nodded in agreement, “Exactly, the Lion Clan is smart. Now that the Tiger Clan has been severely weakened, if they combine forces to annihilate the Bull-men, the Beast King Star will come to be dominated by the Lion Clan alone.”
“How did the battle last night between the Lion Clan and Tiger Clan turn out? Were there many casualties?” Meng Qi inquired.
Shi Feng shook his head, “Although both the Tiger Clan and Lion Clan suffered some losses last night, it was nowhere near crippling. The Tiger Clan still has five hundred thousand troops, and the Lion Clan even has six hundred fifty thousand. Together, they form an army of a million. We stand almost no chance against them.”
“What are we going to do now?” Meng Qi asked, clinging to Wang Hao’s arm and acting coquettishly. She showed no sign of nervousness with the enemy at their gates, confident that Wang Hao must have a plan, and even if he didn’t, they could simply die together.
“What’s there to do? We currently have six hundred thousand hostages in our hands. Does the Tiger Clan really think they can form an alliance with the Lion Clan? Impossible!” Wang Hao scoffed, not believing for a moment that the Tiger Clan soldiers would dare lay a hand on them with the hundreds of thousands of civilians from Tiger City in their grasp.
“This…” Shi Feng hesitated, “But what if the Tiger Clan ignores us?”
“Then that’s your problem. I never planned to settle down here anyway.” Wang Hao pinched Meng Qi’s delicate chin, smiling roguishly, “Territory may be precious, but a beauty is even more so. Little fox, how about a trip with me on a whim?”
Meng Qi blushed and nodded her head slightly, “From now on, I’ll follow you, through poverty or wealth, always with you.”
“Poor?” Wang Hao shook his head, “That word is alien to me.”
Meng Qi’s eyes sparkled with little stars. Whenever Wang Hao took on that commanding air, she couldn’t help but be enthralled, for his confident demeanor was just too dashing.

Shi Feng sighed and consciously walked away, realizing that the couple had completely disregarded his presence, making it utterly needless for him to linger for the sake of visibility.
Before long, the area outside Tiger City teemed with people, and the war drums resounded.
The Tiger King glared fiercely at Shi Feng on the city wall, “Shi Feng, you dare betray me.”
Shi Feng didn’t answer; with a wave of his hand, several Bull-men escorted a group of Tiger-men out.
The Tiger King’s pupils suddenly constricted in rage, “Shi Feng, what do you think you’re doing!?”
Shi Feng said coldly, “Tiger King, I order you now to kill the Lion King, otherwise the six hundred thousand citizens of Tiger City will become six hundred thousand corpses.”
“You dare order me…” The Tiger King’s eyes almost burst with fury, his face horribly ferocious. Right now, he wished he could charge up to Shi Feng and kill him.
But there were also several Bull-man Martial Kings on the city wall; even if he went up, he might not gain any advantage.
Shi Feng glanced at the Tiger King and brought his hand down sharply.
“Ah…”
In that moment, several screams rang out, and a few Tiger-men’s heads hit the ground, blood spraying everywhere, life gone.
“You…” The Tiger King shook all over with rage. Never had he imagined that this little fox, who once wouldn’t dare to breathe loudly in front of him, would so calmly kill their Tiger-men.
“I give you ten seconds to think, if you don’t act, then six hundred thousand Tiger-men will be slaughtered clean in three minutes,” Shi Feng said indifferently, a hint of madness flashing in his eyes.
He realized that the once high and mighty Tiger King now was only able to stare in frustration, and the feeling of having power in hand was just too exhilarating.
The Lion King quickly advised, “Tiger King, you absolutely mustn’t fall for their trick. If you continue warring with the Lion Clan, it will definitely be your Tiger Clan that suffers.”
“Hu hu…” The Tiger King took a deep breath, “This time, our Tiger Clan has suffered a great loss, but it’s better than being wiped out.”
The Lion King’s pupils constricted sharply; the message was very clear. The Tiger King was going to continue the war with the Lion Clan to save the sixty thousand hostages in the city, and he would even ally with the Bull-men.
“Lion Clan warriors, kill these Tiger-men!” The Lion King waved his hand, opting to strike first.
The Tiger King sighed helplessly and also issued the order to go to battle.
But there was one thing the Tiger King couldn’t figure out: why, when he saw Wang Hao give him the middle finger last night, did he become so angry that he lost all reason?
If it weren’t for that middle finger, there would have been no war with the Lion Clan last night, and they wouldn’t be in this disadvantageous situation now.
But it was too late for regrets now. He was destined to be the sin of the Tiger Clan, and all he could do now was to ensure the continuation of his clan, hoping that their descendants could bring about a resurgence.
“Kill…”
The next second, cries of battle echoed outside Tiger City.
Meanwhile, Wang Hao had pulled the shy Meng Qi into a small room, ready for a decisive battle at Forbidden Peak.
But just as Wang Hao successfully pinned Meng Qi on the bed and was about to start the battle, a glint of golden light suddenly flashed in Meng Qi’s eyes, and her whole demeanor changed in an instant, looking like a Divine being descending to earth.
“Hmph, bold lecher, how dare you lay a hand on my disciple.”
Suddenly, a supremely majestic voice assaulted Wang Hao’s mind, dazing him in an instant…
