The Amethyst Winged Lion King immediately gave its wings another fierce flap and pounced at Xiao Kun like lightning.
Unfortunately, against Xiao Kun, who possessed Peng Wings, the Amethyst Winged Lion King's speed was still far too lacking.
Like a cat toying with a mouse, the Amethyst Winged Lion King could only be left dusty and disheveled by the attacks Xiao Kun casually threw out from time to time, yet it could not even touch the hem of Xiao Kun's clothes.
The Amethyst Winged Lion King was also greatly astonished that Xiao Kun, a fellow Dou Emperor, possessed such incredible speed.
After observing him, it determined that the reason was the pair of golden wings behind Xiao Kun that seemed almost tangible. Yet there was nothing it could do about it. It could not exactly demand that someone stop using their Golden Wings!
It could only remain secretly vigilant, wondering what other formidable methods this unusual brat might bring out next.
Yun Yun, watching the battle from afar, saw the relaxed expression on Xiao Kun's face, and her tense mood gradually eased.
Before long, the Amethyst Winged Lion King could no longer endure Xiao Kun's taunts and could only roar furiously, "Human, if you have the guts, fight me head-on!"
At this, Xiao Kun stopped as well. He felt that he had tested his speed sufficiently, and it was time to use other Secret Arts to gain more combat experience.
"Fine, then I shall grant your wish!" he said with a light laugh.
At the Spirit Absorption point in the center of the vortex within Xiao Kun's body, wisps of invisible flame erupted like a volcano. They then followed a mysterious route and began circulating rapidly through his body.
Soon after, a vast energy filled with violent elements rapidly seeped out from every part of his body as the flames circulated.
"Heavenly Flame Three Profound Transformations, First Transformation: Heart Flame Transformation!"
In an instant, an immense aura no weaker than that of a six-star Dou Emperor surged explosively from Xiao Kun's body.
Faced with Xiao Kun's sudden surge in aura, the Amethyst Winged Lion King was dumbfounded. It had never expected Xiao Kun to possess such a miraculous Secret Art, and could not help feeling worried about the battle ahead.
Xiao Kun paid no heed to the Amethyst Winged Lion King's thoughts and charged straight at it.
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Kun flashed directly before the Amethyst Winged Lion King and thrust the Crimson Flame Sword, wreathed in invisible flames, toward the Lion King's eye.
The Amethyst Winged Lion King reacted swiftly, raising its Amethyst Giant Claw, covered in Purple Flame, to block the strike.
Unexpectedly, the moment the Amethyst Giant Claw touched the Crimson Flame Sword, the Purple Flame on its claw was instantly extinguished. Then, a chunk of the purple crystal on the claw was sliced away.
"Heavenly Flames! You actually possess Heavenly Flames!" the Amethyst Winged Lion King roared in terror.
For a Magic Beast like the Amethyst Winged Lion King, which relied on flames to fight, Heavenly Flames could be called its natural nemesis. No wonder it was so terrified.
After its terror subsided, the Amethyst Winged Lion King rapidly retreated and let out another violent roar. This roar differed from the previous ones, carrying a faint sense of summoning.
Sure enough, after the roar, all manner of beastly howls echoed from throughout the Magic Beast Mountain Range, as if answering its call.
Before long, fifty Magic Beasts of the fourth rank and above had gathered around the Amethyst Winged Lion King and Xiao Kun.
In particular, among them were three Dou Wang-level Magic Beasts. Together with the Amethyst Winged Lion King, they faintly formed a complete encirclement around Xiao Kun.
Seeing this, Yun Yun intended to rush over and fight alongside Xiao Kun, but Xiao Kun waved his hand and stopped her with a confident smile.
When the Amethyst Winged Lion King saw Xiao Kun's gesture, it immediately said somewhat sinisterly, "I admit that fighting the current you carries great risk, so I summoned the beast horde. Why not call that human woman over to assist you as well?"
Facing the Amethyst Winged Lion King's provocation, Xiao Kun smiled. "Don't worry. I won't have her help me."
Seeing Xiao Kun fall for it so easily, the Amethyst Winged Lion King could not help smiling smugly.
Xiao Kun saw the Amethyst Winged Lion King's smile but said nothing. He swiftly formed hand seals like lightning and shouted in his heart, Shifting Phantom: Dou Qi Clone.
A mass of Dou Qi squeezed out from each side of Xiao Kun's body. As soon as they emerged, the two masses of Dou Qi began to twist and transform.
In an instant, two figures identical to Xiao Kun appeared at his sides.
The Amethyst Winged Lion King's smug smile instantly froze as it stared at the two figures beside Xiao Kun, who possessed equally immense auras. It said in disbelief, "How is that possible? They must be phantoms!"
In response to the Amethyst Winged Lion King's doubts, Xiao Kun turned and nodded at the clones beside him.
With a flick of his finger, the two clones shot toward the Lion King and the surrounding beast horde.
Xiao Kun followed closely behind, charging directly at the Lion King.
Facing the approaching Xiao Kun, the Amethyst Winged Lion King gritted its teeth and charged straight at him as well.
It could only hope that Xiao Kun's clones were all show and no substance, and that the beast horde would deal with them before coming to aid it. Only then could it turn defeat into victory.
While the Amethyst Winged Lion King was being beaten into a miserable state by Xiao Kun, the beast horde also suffered grievous losses under the assault of the two clones and fled in all directions.
Listening to the screams around it, the Amethyst Winged Lion King knew it was doomed to lose this time.
It was already barely holding on against one Xiao Kun. Once Xiao Kun's clones finished clearing out its subordinates, they would join forces to besiege it.
At that point, it would be defeated in an instant.
Xiao Kun did not know what the Amethyst Winged Lion King was thinking. He merely formed another series of hand seals in a flash and shouted in his heart, Flame Shaping!
A surge of invisible flames rapidly poured from Xiao Kun's body, forming an almost transparent white Fire Python that was four zhang wide and several dozen zhang long.
The instant the Fire Python appeared, it raised its head and roared toward the heavens. Its domineering hiss resembled a dragon's roar, sending ripples through the air and shaking numerous massive rocks from the peaks of nearby mountains.
As the Amethyst Winged Lion King looked at this newly appeared white Fire Python, whose head alone was larger than itself, and felt its overwhelming presence, despair filled its heart.
Before it could remain despairing, Xiao Kun flicked his finger. A hint of battle intent emerged in the Fire Python's lively eyes as it shot toward the Amethyst Winged Lion King.
With a sweep of its enormous tail, it struck before the Amethyst Winged Lion King could react, smashing it into the mountainside like a cannonball.
After a deafening crash, accompanied by the sound of boulders tumbling down, the unfortunate mountain broke apart from the middle.
Only after a long while did the Amethyst Winged Lion King fly out from the ruins. Its entire body was drenched in blood, and the once-solid purple crystals that had covered its body were now riddled with cracks.
Seeing that the Amethyst Winged Lion King could still rise, a trace of dissatisfaction appeared in the Fire Python's enormous snake eyes. It opened its massive jaws as energy rapidly gathered.
A white pillar of flaming energy, two zhang in diameter, shot toward the Amethyst Winged Lion King like lightning.
"Hah!" Facing the Fire Python's attack, the Amethyst Winged Lion King went all out, and an intense purple light erupted from its body.
As energy surged, the purple radiance filling the sky compressed into a deep-purple beam only about half a chi thick, which flashed forth like lightning.
"Amethyst Seal!" As purple light flickered, the Amethyst Winged Lion King's deep roar echoed continuously through the mountain range.
