The Amethyst Winged Lion King erupted with unimaginable speed from its massive body, catching up to Yun Yun. It opened its blood-red maw, and the amethyst crystals on its body surface bloomed with an extremely dazzling purple light, illuminating the entire sky.
The purple radiance filling the sky converged into the Amethyst Winged Lion King's maw, condensing into a purple energy beam only half a foot wide. It shot toward Yun Yun faster than lightning, streaking across the sky to strike her.
At the same time, the Amethyst Winged Lion King flapped its wings violently, its speed surging suddenly like a purple streak of light as it rushed to block her path.
This caused Yun Yun's expression to change drastically; she had not expected the Amethyst Winged Lion King to have hidden such speed!
"Amethyst Seal!"
The Amethyst Winged Lion King roared, raising its razor-sharp beast claws and swinging them fiercely at Yun Yun. At such close range, there was simply no time to defend.
Sensing the ferociously violent claw blades, Yun Yun stopped holding back. Her eyes turned sharp, and the strange longsword in her hand spun and slashed rapidly. The blade emitted a cyan glow, and a tiny cyan beam of light, no larger than a thumb, erupted from the sword. It tore through space itself, heading straight for the Amethyst Winged Lion King's head!
"Extreme Wind: Meteor Kill!"
The beast claw fell, directly wounding Yun Yun's proud, delicate body and leaving three horrifying gashes. Blood flowed out, and the intense pain caused Yun Yun to knit her brows tightly. Her hand trembled slightly, causing the space-tearing ray to shift just enough to strike the Amethyst Winged Lion King's incredibly hard horn, slicing it clean off.
"ROAR----"
The Amethyst Winged Lion King wailed in pain, but at the same time, the Amethyst Seal—guided by the beast—struck Yun Yun.
Enduring the waves of pain, Yun Yun clutched her bleeding chest. Her cyan wings fluttered, and she transformed into a streak of cyan light once more to flee.
Only the Amethyst Winged Lion King remained in the air, wailing in agony. After a long while, it finally recovered from the pain of its broken horn. Looking at Yun Yun's retreating back, it roared and bellowed, ordering all the magic beasts to mobilize and hunt her down, while it gave chase itself.
Ten thousand beasts stampeded through the Magic Beast Mountain Range, shaking the mountains and forests. The roars were endless, and the beast tide surged in all directions. Countless mercenaries met their end, torn to shreds by the wild and brutal magic beasts.
A streak of cyan light cut across the horizon, dodging the pursuit of the beasts. Yun Yun's brows were tightly furrowed as she clutched her bleeding chest. The battle qi within her body plummeted, and her aura grew increasingly weak.
Yun Yun flapped her cyan wings, flying toward a mountain cliff.
The moment she landed, her snow-white, slender legs could barely hold her up. Her proud body swayed as if she were about to collapse at any moment, her face deathly pale and her aura weakened to the extreme.
But before she could rest for even a moment, the roar of the Amethyst Winged Lion King echoed behind her, filled with rage and killing intent.
"Human woman, don't even think about escaping!"
The hornless Amethyst Winged Lion King flapped its wings. The amethyst on its body was dim, but its entire form was wreathed in towering purple flames. Its beast eyes were filled with fury; how could it endure the pain of its broken horn? It raised a claw wreathed in brilliant purple flames and slammed it toward Yun Yun. This strike, fueled by rage, was even more powerful than before. The claw tore through the air with a piercing shriek, intending to crush her into meat paste.
Yun Yun braced herself, wanting to swing her sword to resist, but a soft voice rang out beside her ear.
"Great Burning Sun Palm."
Suddenly, a cyan flame handprint, over ten feet in size, appeared in the sky. It was vast, majestic, and intensely scorching. Carrying the power to refine all things, it possessed the momentum to suppress the heavens and earth, crushing down upon the Amethyst Winged Lion King and slamming it directly into a mountain peak.
The mountain trembled, boulders tumbled down, the amethyst on the beast's body shattered, and purple blood sprayed into the air. The Amethyst Winged Lion King roared in agony, the sound echoing across the wilderness.
Taking this opportunity, Gu Shenge flew to Yun Yun's side, caught her heavily injured body, and with a flash of golden light, flew away from the scene.
The Amethyst Winged Lion King, severely wounded by Gu Shenge's Great Burning Sun Palm, could only watch helplessly as the two departed, roaring in impotent rage where it stood.
Gu Shenge flew through the air, cradling the heavily injured and unconscious Yun Yun. Spotting a cave, he flew inside.
The cave was rather dark, the air damp and filled with a faint, fishy scent. It was quite spacious, with Snake Saliva Grass growing on the ground and a clear spring inside.
Gu Shenge held Yun Yun's slender waist with one hand, then took a plush blanket from his system space and spread it on the slightly damp ground. He laid Yun Yun down gently, finally having the time to observe this Misty Cloud Sect leader at close range.
Her three thousand strands of blue silk, usually tied up, were disheveled from the battle, and the Qing Luan hair ornament hung awkwardly to one side. Her features were exquisite and refined, gentle and graceful, with a straight, delicate nose and full, rounded lips. But now, her brows were tightly knit, revealing an unconcealable pain that marred her noble and elegant demeanor.
A cyan, slit-style dress with cloud patterns wrapped around her proud figure. Her chest was heaving, mature and full like a honey peach, yet the three claw marks on her chest ruined the aesthetic. The flesh was turned outward and dripping with blood, emitting a thick, bloody stench. Her dress was stained red, a sight that made one's heart ache.
Her waist was slender enough to be encircled by a hand, her rounded hips were perfect, and most importantly, those perfect, snow-white long legs were no less impressive than those of Medusa, yet they were exceptionally shapely. Her jade-like feet were clad in short, cyan heels.
Looking at the wound that was still bleeding, a fifth-grade Recovery Pill that he had refined appeared in Gu Shenge's hand. He reached out and gently pinched the beautiful sect leader's cheeks, causing her lips to pout, and forced the pill into her mouth.
Yun Yun swallowed the Recovery Pill subconsciously. The medicinal effect quickly took hold, transforming into a warm current that traveled throughout her body. The bleeding from her chest gradually stopped, and the wound began to heal; it wouldn't be long before it was restored to its original state.
Following this, Gu Shenge fed her a fifth-grade Qi Cultivation Pill to help her quickly recover the nearly exhausted battle qi in her body.
After doing all this, Gu Shenge stood guard beside the beautiful sect leader, waiting for her to wake up.
To be honest, he hadn't expected Yun Yun to come to the Magic Beast Mountain Range at this time.
According to his understanding of the original timeline, Xiao Yan met Yun Yun when he was sixteen years and eight or nine months old, while Xiao Yan was sixteen and a half when he left Wutan City.
There was a gap of three to four months in between.
That was why Gu Shenge had scheduled the appearance of the cave dwelling for four months later, but he hadn't expected Yun Yun to arrive at the Magic Beast Mountain Range after only two months, which was somewhat beyond his expectations.
However, it didn't have much of an impact; he had already sent that brat Xiao Yan back to Qingshan Town, so it was impossible for him to have any intersection with Yun Yun.
Under the powerful medicinal effects of the Recovery Pill, the three hideous claw marks on Yun Yun's chest healed into three pale red marks. If not for the residual blood on her chest and clothes, one wouldn't be able to tell she had been injured at all.
As her injuries healed, the pain on Yun Yun's pretty face gradually vanished, and her slightly rapid breathing slowly steadied as she entered a deep sleep.
Compared to the quiet inside the cave, the roars of beasts outside rose and fell one after another. Ten thousand beasts stampeded, blood flowed like a river, and countless mercenaries who had entered the mountain range were slaughtered by the surging beast tide.
