Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's Counterattack, A Hero Saves the Beauty!

Roar!

Amid a furious roar, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's massive body shot forward like a cannonball, wreathed in towering violet flames as it lunged savagely at the woman in green who had dared disturb its peace!

Hmph!

Yun Yun snorted coldly. The cyan Dou Qi wings on her back flapped fiercely, sending her soaring upward in an instant as she narrowly evaded the ferocious strike!

Hovering in midair within the cavern, she flicked her longsword in a graceful arc. Countless razor-sharp cyan wind blades swept down upon the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King below like a torrential rainstorm!

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The wind blades struck the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's hard purple crystal armor with a series of metallic clashes. Sparks flew everywhere, yet they left behind only shallow white marks!

Human! You seek death!

The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King was thoroughly enraged. Opening its blood-filled maw, it unleashed a violet pillar of flame as thick as a water barrel. Like a volcanic eruption, it tore through the air and blasted toward Yun Yun in midair with terrifying heat capable of incinerating everything!

Yun Yun's expression turned grave, and she did not dare lower her guard in the slightest. Forming seals with both hands, she summoned howling winds before her, which instantly condensed into an enormous cyan wind shield!

Boom!!!

The cyan wind shield and the violet pillar of fire collided explosively within the cavern!

The violent energy shockwave raged outward, making the entire cavern tremble and rumble as though it might collapse at any moment!

Xiao Yao, hiding in the distance, could not help shaking his head as he watched.

This kindhearted stupid woman...

He could see it clearly. Although the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King looked formidable, the old wounds he had left on it had yet to heal. At most, it could only wield seventy to eighty percent of its strength. On top of that, the seal he had left behind restricted its movements to this tiny cavern, leaving it severely constrained.

While attacking, it also had to divide its attention to protect the little lion cub behind it, making it even harder for it to fight at full strength.

Yet Yun Yun, while attacking, was also intentionally or unintentionally avoiding the direction where the little lion cub was!

One feared harming the innocent, while the other harbored kindness. This battle was truly... hard to describe.

Human, you dared attack this king! You will not leave this place alive today! Unable to gain the upper hand after attacking for so long, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King roared angrily.

Yun Yun steadied herself and declared, "I had no intention of offending you. I came only to seek Purple Spirit Crystal for my disciple. I did not expect the Lion King's cavern to contain a chain of seals. Forced into a corner, I had no choice but to resort to this. Please do not take offense, Lion King!"

"Purple Spirit Crystal?" Xiao Yao heard every word from the shadows, and understanding immediately dawned on him. He could not help feeling both amused and exasperated.

It seems that when I defeated that little girl Nalan Yanran with one punch in the Xiao Family hall, it really hit the master and disciple hard!

So this foolish woman came here ahead of time, even breaking the seal to obtain purple crystal stone. She wanted to help her precious disciple grow stronger—not for the Three-Year Agreement, but to let her wash away the humiliation of losing to me?

This bizarre butterfly effect left Xiao Yao feeling absurd.

"I can exchange three Fifth Grade Magic Cores for it!" Yun Yun offered her terms.

Hmph! Three mere Fifth Grade Magic Cores, and you wish to exchange them for Associated Purple Crystal, of which this king only obtains one piece every twenty years?! The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King sneered disdainfully. You want Purple Spirit Crystal? Fine! Bring a seventh-grade Shaping Pill in exchange!

A Shaping Pill was a seventh-grade medicinal pill, priceless beyond measure. Countless Dou Emperor magical beasts could rack their brains and still fail to obtain even one.

At those words, Yun Yun's delicate brows immediately furrowed. Not only did she not have one, but even if she did, she would never use it for an exchange.

The negotiations had completely broken down!

"Then I can only take it by my own means!"

A cold glint flashed through Yun Yun's eyes, and she stopped holding back! Cyan Dou Qi blazed around her body like flames!

Wind Form!

Terrifying pressure swept through the cavern as the two clashed once more!

This fierce battle continued from noon until the setting sun slanted across the sky.

The entire cavern had long since become a complete mess.

Roar—!

Unable to achieve victory after such a long battle, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King finally lost all patience! Along with an earth-shaking lion's roar, the violet light around its body grew increasingly brilliant, its intense radiance faintly threatening to overwhelm even the sunset at the horizon!

"It is getting serious now. Just as expected..." Xiao Yao's gaze sharpened.

Around the Lion King, fire-element energy between heaven and earth began to surge wildly in a strange manner!

"Comparable to an earth-tier Dou Technique!" Yun Yun's face was filled with solemnity. She did not dare delay and likewise activated her strongest killing move!

Extreme Wind: Meteor Kill!

Fierce winds howled wildly through the cavern! Countless cyan wind blades gathered into an incomparably massive tornado storm, taking shape with terrifying force capable of tearing everything apart!

Meanwhile, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King had also completed its attack!

Violet radiance filled the sky, instantly enveloping the entire area! Then, from the single horn atop the Lion King's head, a dark violet beam only half a foot thick but condensed to the utmost extreme shot forth!

It was its strongest innate Dou Technique—Purple Crystal Seal!

Rumble!!!

The cyan tornado and the dark violet beam collided violently in the center of the cavern!

The entire mountain range seemed to shake violently at that moment!

Had it not been for the "Grandpa Lu-brand" seal Xiao Yao had left behind, which supported the mountain's structure, this volcano would likely have collapsed completely long ago!

The dust gradually settled.

Yun Yun's pretty face was deathly pale, blood spilling from the corner of her lips as her body swayed unsteadily. Although she had successfully shattered the sealing beam, the terrifying recoil had severely injured her! What horrified her even more was that she could feel an eerie energy forcibly sealing the Dou Qi within her body!

On the other side, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King was in no better condition!

The hardest crimson horn atop its head had been forcibly broken in half! A savage wound stretched down across its back and body, blood streaming everywhere!

Roar!!! I will kill you!!!

Pain and humiliation drove the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King completely mad! Disregarding its severe injuries, it burned its essence blood. Its massive body transformed into a violet afterimage, forcefully charging through the still-dispersing energy storm, determined to tear apart the human who had wounded it!

"Not good!"

Yun Yun's expression changed drastically! She had never expected the Lion King to be so ferocious!

She forcibly mobilized the last of her remaining Dou Qi, preparing to flee. As long as she could escape this cavern and leave the range of the seal targeting the Lion King, it would be unable to harm her!

However, grievously injured as she was, her speed had greatly diminished!

Before her eyes, the enormous beastly paw wreathed in blazing violet flames, brimming with rage and destruction, rapidly grew larger!

It was right before her! There was nowhere to evade!

A trace of despair flashed through Yun Yun's eyes. She closed her beautiful eyes and could only exhaust her final strength to form a fragile Dou Qi shield before her, ready to meet her death.

But at that critical moment!

A young and handsome figure suddenly appeared like lightning in the space between her and the enormous claw!

One arm wrapped around Yun Yun's slender waist. Without even turning his head, he casually sent a palm strike with his other hand toward the beastly paw capable of shattering mountains.

Bang!

With a tremendous crash, the domineering Dou Emperor-level magical beast that had driven Yun Yun into despair was sent flying by that single slap, smashing viciously into the cavern wall!

Time seemed to freeze at that moment.

Yun Yun slowly opened her beautiful eyes. Looking at the tall, upright back before her, standing like a god between her and danger, she fell into immense, speechless shock.
