Crimson Flame Tiger King and Purple Crystal Winged Lion King

Monster Mountain Range.

Liu Yun had been seriously injured. Although he had already taken Healing Medicine, he still needed four or five days to recuperate.

"Young Master, that Da Dou Shi left behind a clue before he died. Should we destroy it?" After cleaning up the scene, He Qingfeng walked over and asked.

Liu Yun was puzzled. This guy knew his identity?

He looked in the direction Elder He pointed. The ground was covered in green weeds, but beneath the blades of grass were five small words written in blood, scrawled by Zhang San after biting his finger before death.

"Sect Master's Heir!"

Liu Yun gave an awkward laugh. This was rather interesting. The blame for this had actually been pinned on Nalan Yanran!

"Since they've identified the murderer as the Sect Master's Heir, then leave it alone!" Liu Yun said with a smile, rubbing his nose.

"Yes, Young Master!" Elder He replied, saying no more.

Time flew by, and five days passed. Liu Yun's injuries were no longer a concern, and he had mostly recovered. Just as the two were preparing to leave, a tiger's roar shook the forest.

"The Crimson Flame Tiger King has returned?" Liu Yun sprang to his feet in fright.

Although they were quite far from the Crimson Flame Tiger King's lair, a Fifth-tier Magical Beast possessed unfathomable abilities. To be safe, they needed to move farther away.

"It should be. That sort of majesty could only belong to a Fifth-tier Magical Beast," Elder He said.

However, the moment his words fell, an even more terrifying pressure descended. Even from such a great distance, Liu Yun and He Qingfeng found it difficult to breathe.

"This is... a Sixth-tier Magical Beast?" He Qingfeng asked, his face full of disbelief.

"A Sixth-tier Magical Beast? In the Monster Mountain Range, the only possibility would be the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King!" Liu Yun guessed.

Sure enough, a streak of purple soared into the sky. A massive lion-type Magical Beast, its body seven or eight meters long, stood in the air. A layer of purple crystal faintly covered its body, and under the sunlight, it looked exceptionally mystical.

Its lion head was rather ferocious, strange purple light flickering within its blood-red pupils. Its huge, fang-filled maw sent chills through the heart. A fiery red spiral horn grew from its head, wreathed in clusters of purple flames. On either side of its enormous lion body were a pair of purple wings. This was the Purple Gold Winged Lion King.

"It really is the Purple Gold Winged Lion King. Hide, quickly!" He Qingfeng said in a panic.

He then pulled Liu Yun down beneath a tree. His Dou Qi lightly shook the trunk, causing leaves to fall and cover their bodies.

Though they were far away, things were different once it took to the air. It could see several miles in every direction at a glance. If they did not hide, they would be like bright lamps flickering in the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's eyes.

"Why did the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King come here? Could the Crimson Flame Tiger King have led it over?" Liu Yun asked quietly.

"That's very possible!" He Qingfeng said.

"In other words, the other side of that passage connects to the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's territory, perhaps even its cave abode." Liu Yun made his excited deduction.

If that was the case, it was truly good news. After all, there were two supreme treasures in the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's cave abode that Liu Yun desperately coveted: the Purple Spirit Crystal and the Companion Purple Gold Source. The Companion Purple Gold Source could even be refined into Sixth-tier Beast Fire.

If the other side of the passage truly is the Purple Gold Winged Lion King's cave abode, I'll have to plan this carefully. I can't let Xiao Yan keep all the spoils for himself.

At the same time, the sky also became interesting. The Crimson Flame Tiger King trembled as it rose into the air. Its movements made it clear just how deeply it feared the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King.

If it could, it would rather hide far away and never face a Sixth-tier Magical Beast. But the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King had pursued it too quickly. It could not escape and could only face it helplessly.

"Lord Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, I truly did not mean to disturb you.

"Two humans entered my cave abode and killed my son. In my fury, I entered the passage to pursue them.

"I never expected the other side to be Lord Lion King's cave abode," the Crimson Flame Tiger King said in human speech.

The pressure from a high-tier Magical Beast made the Crimson Flame Tiger King's entire body tremble, and its voice shook with every word.

"I will not listen to your explanation. You injured my son, so you must pay the price." The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's deep voice carried an unquestionable authority, chilling the Crimson Flame Tiger King to the bone.

"Lion King, you and I are both peak Magical Beasts of the Monster Mountain Range. Why must you press so hard? Must you truly kill me?" The Crimson Flame Tiger King desperately resisted the pressure of the Sixth-tier Magical Beast as it asked in a trembling voice.

"Hmph. Even among peak Magical Beasts, there are rules. You trespassed into my cave abode and even injured my son. You must bear my wrath."

The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King shouted, and a deep roar resounded from its enormous maw throughout the mountain range.

As the lion's roar rang out, the purple crystals on the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's body blazed brilliantly. In the blink of an eye, surging purple flames burst from its body, rising and churning before gathering into an enormous pillar of purple fire. The fire pillar shot into the heavens, its scorching heat sending even the clouds overhead rolling.

Roar! A tiger's roar echoed through the mountain range. Sensing danger, crimson flames surged across the Crimson Flame Tiger King's body before gathering upon the character "King" on its forehead. A terrifying blast of energy shot toward the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King.

This was the Crimson Flame Tiger's innate Divine Ability. A Second-tier Crimson Flame Tiger had used it against Liu Yun before, but when unleashed by the Fifth-tier Crimson Flame Tiger King, its power was terrifying beyond measure.

Seeing the Crimson Flame Tiger launch the first attack, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King let out a scornful laugh. The towering pillar of purple fire detached from its body and collided with the Crimson Flame Tiger King's attack.

Boom! Thunder exploded out of nowhere in the clear sky.

The entire mountain range shook from the collision, and the site of the explosion was already in utter ruin.

In a daze, Liu Yun saw the purple fire pillar shatter the Crimson Flame Tiger King's attack before striking its body directly.

The Crimson Flame Tiger King's body crashed down from the sky, creating an enormous crater in the ground. Dense cracks spread around the crater, showing just how powerful the impact had been.

Roar! A weak cry rang out. The Crimson Flame Tiger King had not died, but its entire body was drenched in blood and covered in countless cracks. Who knew how many bones had been broken.

At that moment, the Crimson Flame Tiger King had completely lost both its ability to resist and its ability to move. It could only lie in the crater and whimper.

This was the gap between a Fifth-tier Magical Beast and a Sixth-tier Magical Beast. With a single move, the Crimson Flame Tiger King had been rendered nearly powerless. Moreover, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King did not seem to have used its full strength.

"Crimson Flame Tiger King, this is your punishment. I will not kill you today. Behave yourself." The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's ferocious maw opened and closed as it casually left behind those words.

Then, with a flash, the Purple Gold Winged Lion King vanished without a trace.
