Xiao Chen flashed, dodging that bolt of black light.
His speed was extremely fast, unleashing Three Thousand Lightning Movement, his figure constantly flickering across the battlefield.
The Dark Demon Wolf's attacks simply could not hit him.
Xiao Chen flashed behind the Dark Demon Wolf and struck its back with a palm.
Devouring Power instantly erupted, and the Dou Qi inside the Dark Demon Wolf's body began to drain madly.
The Dark Demon Wolf let out a miserable scream, struggling as it tried to break free.
Yet Xiao Chen's palm seemed glued to its body, and no matter how it thrashed, it could not shake him off.
The Dou Qi within the Dark Demon Wolf's body surged through Xiao Chen's palm and into his own body.
That strand of Dou Qi was extremely violent, but Devouring Power directly refined that violent Dou Qi, turning it into Xiao Chen's own power.
Feeling the continuously growing Dou Qi within his body, a trace of excitement flashed in Xiao Chen's eyes.
Devouring Power truly was useful.
The Dark Demon Wolf's struggles grew weaker and weaker, and the aura on its body grew fainter as well.
Seeing this scene, the Amethyst Winged Lion King's eyes were filled with shock.
It had not expected its master to possess such terrifying power.
Devouring another person's Dou Qi for one's own use—it had never witnessed this kind of power before.
The Dark Demon Wolf let out a despairing roar, and its body began to tremble.
The Dou Qi inside its body had already been mostly devoured, and it could barely even steady itself on its feet.
Xiao Chen withdrew his palm, looked at the Amethyst Winged Lion King, and said, "Kill it."
The Amethyst Winged Lion King nodded, opened its massive jaws, and spat out a stream of purple flames directly onto the Dark Demon Wolf.
Before the Dark Demon Wolf even had time to let out a miserable scream, it was engulfed by the purple flames, collapsed to the ground, and fell still.
Xiao Chen stood in place, feeling the surging Dou Qi within his body.
Having devoured most of the Dark Demon Wolf's Dou Qi, his strength began to skyrocket.
Xiao Chen only felt a majestic wave of power pour out within his body, a power countless times stronger than before.
One-star Dou Huang!
Two-star Dou Huang!
Three-star Dou Huang!
He broke through several levels in succession before finally coming to a stop.
Xiao Chen took a deep breath, feeling the abundant power inside his body.
Three-star Dou Huang.
He was now a powerhouse at the Dou Huang level.
Standing to one side, the Amethyst Winged Lion King felt the aura emanating from Xiao Chen, its eyes filled with shock.
"Master, your strength..."
The Amethyst Winged Lion King drew in a sharp breath.
It remembered very clearly that when its master came to the Magical Beast Mountain Range a few days ago, although his strength was far inferior to its own, it had indeed been able to feel a suppressive terror that forced it to submit.
In such a short period of time, Xiao Chen had broken through to a three-star Dou Huang?
This rate of improvement was simply unheard of.
"Since Master possesses such strength, yet did not absorb my power that day, I thank you, Master." The Amethyst Winged Lion King lowered its head, its voice filled with gratitude.
Xiao Chen smiled faintly. "You are my people, so naturally I won't touch you."
Hearing this, the Amethyst Winged Lion King felt an even deeper sense of gratitude.
It knew that with its master's strength, he was completely capable of forcibly absorbing its Dou Qi.
Yet her master had not done so, which meant her master truly regarded it as one of his own.
One had to admit that although it possessed Dou Huang-level strength, it had never taken human Dou Huang powerhouses seriously.
Yet Xiao Chen was different.
His strength made the Amethyst Winged Lion King feel that he was unfathomable.
Furthermore, simply standing before him caused it to feel an incredible suppressive aura, leaving it too cowed to act presumptuously in the slightest.
"Master, if you have any needs in the future, just give the order," the Amethyst Winged Lion King said.
It understood that having such a master held absolute zero disadvantages for it.
"Mn."
Xiao Chen nodded, thinking to himself that it was indeed worthy of the hundred-percent loyalty rewarded to him by the system.
This was not difficult to sense from the Amethyst Winged Lion King's recent attitude.
Urging his Dou Qi Wings, his figure soared into the sky and left the Magical Beast Mountain Range.
Qingshan Town.
Xiao Chen put away his Dou Qi Wings and landed on the ground.
He had barely walked a few steps when he caught sight of a familiar figure.
Xiao Yi Xian was squatting on the ground, bandaging the wounds of an injured mercenary.
She was still wearing the same appearance, dressed in a long white dress with a pure and delicate countenance.
Several other wounded men were lying nearby, all of them stained with blood.
Xiao Yi Xian was whole-heartedly bandaging the wounded man and did not notice Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen lifted his foot and walked over.
Having finished bandaging one of the wounded, Xiao Yi Xian raised her head and happened to see Xiao Chen standing before her.
She was startled, and then a smile bloomed across her face.
"Xiao Chen? Why are you here?"
"Just passing by," Xiao Chen said indifferently.
Xiao Yi Xian stood up, looking Xiao Chen up and down.
After just a few days apart, she felt that the aura around Xiao Chen had grown considerably stronger once again.
"Did you come out of the Magical Beast Mountain Range?" Xiao Yi Xian asked.
Xiao Chen nodded.
Just as Xiao Yi Xian was about to speak, her expression suddenly changed.
She raised her head, gazing at the sky behind Xiao Chen.
In the distant sky, a huge figure was flying rapidly toward them.
It was a giant lion entirely purple in color, easily four or five meters tall, radiating a terrifying aura all over its body.
The Amethyst Winged Lion King.
Xiao Yi Xian's pupils constricted, and her face instantly turned ashen.
"Th-this... what kind of magical beast is that?"
Her voice was trembling.
The surrounding mercenaries also spotted the Amethyst Winged Lion King, every last one of them frightened out of their wits.
"A tier-6 magical beast! It's a tier-6 magical beast!"
"Run!"
"Hurry up and run!"
The mercenaries dropped the things in their hands and fled frantically into the distance.
The aura emanating from the Amethyst Winged Lion King was far too terrifying, pressing down on them so heavily that they could barely draw breath.
Xiao Yi Xian wanted to run as well, but her legs had turned to jelly, unable to take a single step.
"Xi-Xiao Chen, run..."
Gritting her teeth, Xiao Yi Xian shouted to Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen stood right there, not moving an inch.
The Amethyst Winged Lion King drew closer and closer, soon flying above Qingshan Town.
It lowered its head, spotted Xiao Chen, and hastily retracted its wings before landing on the ground.
Its massive body hit the earth, the impact causing the ground to tremble slightly.
The Amethyst Winged Lion King walked up to Xiao Chen and lowered its head.
"Master, you left something behind in the cave."
Its voice rang out within Xiao Chen's mind.
Clenched in its jaws was a jade bottle—the medicinal pills Xiao Chen had left behind in the cave just a moment ago.
"Oh, thanks."
Seeing the Amethyst Winged Lion King make a special trip to deliver the pills to him, the corners of Xiao Chen's mouth curved upward slightly into a smile.
Witnessing this scene, Xiao Yi Xian was completely dumbfounded.
Her face wore an expression of utter shock.
She immediately rubbed her eyes, thinking she had seen wrongly just moments before.
Was she certain she wasn't dreaming?
Her mind went completely blank, unable to snap back to her senses for a long time.
The Amethyst Winged Lion King... called Xiao Chen master?
How was this possible?
In disbelief, Xiao Yi Xian stared at Xiao Chen, her eyes filled with shock.
She had previously guessed at Xiao Chen's strength, figuring he might be a Dou Ling or perhaps a Dou Wang.
Yet she had never imagined that Xiao Chen could actually subdue a tier-6 magical beast.
A tier-6 magical beast—that was an existence equivalent to the Dou Huang level.
Throughout the entire Jia Ma Empire, Dou Huang powerhouses could be counted on one hand.
For Xiao Chen to actually tame a tier-6 magical beast meant his strength...
Xiao Yi Xian did not dare to think any further.
She gazed at Xiao Chen, her eyes brimming with shock and adoration.
