Yun Yun's battle with the Amethyst Winged Lion King had lasted from noon until the setting sun slanted low in the sky.

As he watched the enormous sun, already more than halfway below the horizon, the Amethyst Winged Lion King, which had tirelessly pursued Yun Yun, suddenly came to a stop. Its blood-red beast eyes, glinting with purple light, fixed on Yun Yun in the air with chilling impatience.

"Human woman, you have worn away what little patience I had left!" The Amethyst Winged Lion King's low roar shook the mountain forest.

"As long as the Lion King is willing to trade the Amethyst Spirit Crystal to me, I will never come to trouble you again," Yun Yun said calmly.

"You refuse to see sense. Then don't blame me!" The Amethyst Winged Lion King looked at the unyielding Yun Yun as its body began to emit a dazzling purple radiance.

It's about to use its ultimate move! Xiao Xie thought.

"Finally, we can reap some benefits." Xiao Yi Xian revealed a sly, foxlike smile, her bright, watery eyes curving into crescents.

Watching the intense purple light emanating from the Amethyst Winged Lion King's body in the sky, the Magical Beasts below that had been watching suddenly retreated in terror. Even the three enormous Fifth Level Magical Beasts were no exception.

Yun Yun also noticed the abnormality surrounding the Amethyst Winged Lion King. Sensing the strange surge of energy in the surrounding heaven and earth, her expression gradually became solemn. Within several yards around her, fierce winds began to howl.

Purple radiance blanketed the heavens and earth. After brewing for a while, the light suddenly contracted. In the blink of an eye, the purple glow filling the sky compressed into a dark-purple beam no more than half a foot wide.

Then, the dark-purple beam in the sky shot forth like lightning. Its speed was terrifying, seeming almost to flicker through space. With only two flashes, it appeared not far in front of Yun Yun.

"Amethyst Seal!" As the purple light flashed, the Amethyst Winged Lion King's deep roar echoed continuously through the mountain range.

The instant the dark-purple beam appeared, Yun Yun's expression changed slightly. The powerful Dou Technique she had been preparing in her hand was unleashed as Dou Qi coursed through her body.

"Wind Splitting Whirlwind Dance!" Yun Yun cried softly, and dozens of enormous wind blades shot from the sword in her hand, slashing toward the purple beam.

Boom!

The purple beam and the whirling wind blades clashed briefly, but the vortex was clearly at a disadvantage. In only a moment, it exploded with a bang, while the purple beam merely dimmed slightly.

After destroying the whirling wind blades, the purple beam pierced through dozens of wind shields Yun Yun had set up before her, then finally shot into her body.

The moment the purple beam struck true, the Amethyst Winged Lion King's massive body flashed into place before Yun Yun. Five sharp purple spikes sprang from its enormous claw, viciously slashing toward her chest.

At that critical moment, Yun Yun unleashed her trump card. A terrifying Sword Light condensed upon the sword in her hand, severing the Amethyst Winged Lion King's horn. Enraged beyond measure, the Amethyst Winged Lion King fiercely raked Yun Yun with a claw.

The Amethyst Winged Lion King, whose strength had been weakened by the broken tip of its horn, threw back its head and let out a violent roar brimming with killing intent. Under that roar containing berserk energy, the mountains below shook continuously as if struck by an earthquake. The peaks of several towering mountains were actually shaken clean off.

Yun Yun, who had received the Amethyst Winged Lion King's special attention, finally could not hold on any longer. She spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted outright. The Dou Qi Wings behind her instantly dispersed, and the unconscious Yun Yun fell from the sky, landing right toward where Xiao Xie and Xiao Yi Xian were.

"It looks like we have no choice but to act," Xiao Xie and Xiao Yi Xian said with bitter smiles after exchanging a glance.

Xiao Xie stepped off a branch and leaped into the air, catching Yun Yun as she fell. Her soft, fragrant body filled his arms, but Xiao Xie had no time to enjoy the delight of holding a beauty.

Xiao Xie's sudden appearance startled the Amethyst Winged Lion King. Seeing the beast frozen in surprise, Xiao Xie put on an innocent expression and said, "If I said I was just here to buy soy sauce, would you believe me?"

"Buy soy sauce? Human, you dare toy with me! Kill him!" Although the Amethyst Winged Lion King did not know what soy sauce was, it could sense the deep malice hidden in Xiao Xie's words.

At the Amethyst Winged Lion King's command, its Magical Beasts instantly charged at Xiao Xie. The beast horde roared as it rushed toward him, reaching him in the blink of an eye and about to tear him to pieces.

"Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix!" Xiao Yi Xian leaped down from the tree and gave a clear, bell-like shout. With a sweep of both hands, several hundred small purple birds flew toward the beast horde.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Amid a series of violent explosions, the hundreds of purple birds all detonated, turning into clouds of purple mist that enveloped the entire beast horde.

Roar... Amid wave after wave of low growls, the Magical Beasts in the horde began to collapse. The first to fall were the Third Level Magical Beasts and those below them. Blood flowed from all seven of their orifices as they died, clearly poisoned.

Then the Fourth Level Magical Beasts began to fall as well. Though they did not die immediately, they became limp and powerless, unable to move. As they continued inhaling the poisonous gas, their deaths were inevitable.

The final three Fifth Level Magical Beasts did not fall, but after smelling the poison gas, they could not help feeling dizzy.

Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix was a technique Xiao Yi Xian had developed herself. It used Dou Qi in conjunction with the Venom-Venom Fruit to create the effect of poisonous gas bombs. It was an attack with an extremely wide destructive range; before this move, swarm tactics were nothing but a joke. However, with Xiao Yi Xian's current cultivation, using it once would exhaust all the Dou Qi and stamina in her body.

"Now it's up to you." Pale-faced, Xiao Yi Xian spoke to Xiao Xie, then took out a medicinal pill that restored stamina and Dou Qi and swallowed it.

"Don't worry. Leave it to me!" Xiao Xie handed Yun Yun in his arms to Xiao Yi Xian, then faced the three Fifth Level Magical Beasts and the Amethyst Winged Lion King alone.
