Battle Against the Amethyst Winged Lion King

With a trace of regret, he said, "Is that so? Then congratulations!"

"Once I recover my strength, I'll go find the Amethyst Winged Lion King again." Seemingly unaware of Xiao Kun's feelings, Yun Yun continued speaking to herself.

"No. You were injured last time, so I'll go this time! Just watch from the side. I'll avenge you!" Xiao Kun suddenly said forcefully.

Yun Yun was stunned upon hearing this, as though she had not expected Xiao Kun to say something so domineering.

After pondering for a moment, she still said, "No, this is my own matter. I won't trouble you with it."

"How is that trouble? I said I'd take responsibility for you. My strength is far greater than you imagine!" Xiao Kun continued with a firm expression.

There were quite a few reasons why Xiao Kun had suddenly become so domineering and forceful.

One reason was as mentioned above: he could avenge Yun Yun, which would greatly increase her favorability toward him. After all, on the Dou Qi Continent, the strong were revered.

Another reason was that he wanted to subdue the Amethyst Winged Lion King. The Xiao Family currently had too few experts, so having it serve as an enshrined guardian and protect Wu Tan City would not be bad.

Finally, he wanted to use the Amethyst Winged Lion King's Purple Spirit Crystal and Associated Amethyst Source for a critical strike. If he let Yun Yun make the move, then once she obtained the Purple Spirit Crystal, he would no longer be able to receive critical-strike compensation.

Faced with Xiao Kun's repeated forceful words, Yun Yun strangely felt a warmth in her heart. During all her years as sect leader, others had only ever relied on her. Now, someone she could rely on had finally appeared.

With that in mind, Yun Yun reluctantly agreed. "All right. Tomorrow, you'll fight the Amethyst Winged Lion King first. I'll stand guard nearby, and if you're in danger, I'll help."

Seeing that Yun Yun had finally agreed, Xiao Kun smiled in satisfaction and said solemnly, "I won't disappoint you."

Seeing that it was already late at night, Xiao Kun smiled at Yun Yun and said, "You don't have Dou Qi protecting your body right now, so you'll tire easily. Rest first. I'll cultivate through the night!"

Then, he sat cross-legged on a stone platform nearby, closed his eyes, and entered a cultivation state.

Sitting on the stone bed, Yun Yun stared at Xiao Kun's refined face for a long time, as though she had thought of something.

A flush appeared on her lovely face. Then, as if afraid of being discovered, she lay down directly and closed her eyes.

As the stone cave gradually fell silent, Xiao Kun, who had been cultivating with his eyes closed, opened them after a long while and turned to look at Yun Yun on the stone bed, like a sleeping beauty.

A moment later, Xiao Kun slowly stepped down from the stone platform, took out a piece of brocade cloth from his Storage Ring, and gently draped it over Yun Yun's body.

His gaze lingered on her beautiful, faintly smiling face for a long time. Xiao Kun smiled as well, then returned to the stone platform and continued cultivating.

When the warm morning light shone into the cave, Xiao Kun stopped his night-long cultivation and turned to look at the still-sleeping Yun Yun.

Perhaps sensing the change in light within the cave, the willow-like brows on her beautiful face furrowed slightly. As her eyelashes trembled gently, a pair of beautiful eyes appeared.

The moment Yun Yun awoke, she saw Xiao Kun staring at her. After they looked at each other for a long time, a blush appeared on her lovely face.

Seeing this, Xiao Kun smiled and looked away. "Has your strength recovered?"

"Mm, it has fully recovered!" Yun Yun said with a delighted smile.

Then Yun Yun glanced at the black robe on her body and said shyly, "Go outside first. I'll change clothes before coming out."

At that, Xiao Kun headed directly out of the cave. Facing the blazing sun overhead, he stretched lazily and began looking forward to the coming battle.

A moment later, Yun Yun emerged. Today, she had changed into a plain snow-white dress. The Phoenix Hair Ornament atop her head, which had once been somewhat loose, had been gathered back into place, exuding a faint nobility. Her beautiful face was calm and elegant.

Seeing this sight, Xiao Kun could not help but praise her. "You're beautiful!"

Her lovely face reddened slightly. As though she had not heard his compliment, Yun Yun calmly said, "If you're ready, let's go!"

Xiao Kun nodded directly, spread his golden Peng Wings, and with a slight flap, shot into the sky ahead of her.

Yun Yun followed closely behind, flapping her wings as she flew into the sky.

Before long, the two arrived near the Amethyst Winged Lion King's lair.

His gaze swept across the enormous mountain range in the distance. At the summit, a massive entrance flickered in and out of view beneath the cover of trees.

"That is the Amethyst Winged Lion King's cave dwelling," Xiao Kun said calmly.

"Mm." Yun Yun nodded slightly. Her gaze slowly swept over the area around the cave, and her brows furrowed. "The defenses around it have become much tighter. It seems that fellow has become more vigilant."

"In a battle between Dou Emperors, those magical beasts are insignificant. We only need to lure the Amethyst Winged Lion King out."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Kun took out the Crimson Flame Sword from his Storage Ring and flung two sword energies, each over thirty meters long, toward the Amethyst Winged Lion King's cave entrance. Amid a tremendous boom, a burst of miserable beast roars rang out. The beast pack guarding the entrance suffered many casualties from those two strikes.

The cries of the beast pack echoed through the mountains. A moment later, the Amethyst Winged Lion King's enraged roar suddenly exploded from within the massive cave dwelling and resounded across the sky:

"Human woman, you dare show yourself again? Don't think I fear you just because you brought help! Today, I will take your life to avenge the loss of my horn."

As the roar rang out, a purple streak of light shot from the cave like lightning, stopping only a hundred meters in front of the two.

Looking at the enormous body before him, Xiao Kun pointed at Yun Yun and calmly said, "Lion King, you injured her a few days ago. Today, I'll make you pay for it!"

Then he said gently to Yun Yun, "Go wait at the side first. Watch me."

"Mm, be careful," Yun Yun said with concern, then flew to a distant mountain peak to wait.

Seeing that the human before him had actually given up a two-on-one advantage for the sake of so-called dignity and chosen a one-on-one fight, the Amethyst Winged Lion King could not help but sneer inwardly.

He had originally been somewhat worried. If two Dou Emperor experts attacked together, he would most likely be unable to defeat them.

He had not expected the foolish humans to choose a one-on-one battle instead.

"Human, you will regret your arrogance," the Amethyst Winged Lion King said, his voice carrying anger at being looked down upon.

"Is that so? Then we'll see the truth in battle!" Xiao Kun replied calmly.

Knowing that the Amethyst Winged Lion King was powerful in close combat, Xiao Kun flapped his Peng Wings and moved far away from it as soon as he finished speaking.

Just as Xiao Kun flew away, the afterimage he had left behind was slashed through by a massive claw shimmering with brilliant purple light. Where the claw swept past, it actually tore through the resistance of the air, and a sharp sonic boom shrieked through the sky.

"An afterimage!" The Amethyst Winged Lion King was somewhat astonished by Xiao Kun's speed.
