The Amethyst Winged Lion King Appears, Killing with a Borrowed Knife

The Amethyst Winged Lion King was, after all, one of the overlords of the Magic Beast Mountain Range. How could he tolerate outsiders wantonly destroying his territory?

ROAR—

Less than three minutes into the fight, an even deeper and more domineering beastly roar than that of the Purple Lightning Thunder Wolf King came from a massive cave deep within the forest, shaking the entire mountain forest.

Upon hearing that roar, the Purple Lightning Thunder Wolf King's storm-like assault abruptly stalled.

Xiao Ce's eyes, however, lit up.

His goal had been achieved!

The Purple Lightning Thunder Wolf King's territory bordered that of the Amethyst Winged Lion King. Xiao Ce did not believe the two had no conflicts at all and were as close as family.

Now that he had led the Purple Lightning Thunder Wolf King into wreaking havoc throughout the Amethyst Winged Lion King's territory, if the Amethyst Winged Lion King could still endure this, then Xiao Ce would admit defeat.

After the earthshaking roar rang out, a massive Magical Beast appeared in the sight of the man and wolf. It possessed an imposing aura, and its body was covered in a layer of purple crystals.

The Amethyst Winged Lion King's purple wings trembled behind him. His beastly eyes, crimson with purple glimmers, stared fixedly at the Purple Lightning Thunder Wolf King as he said in a deep voice, "Wolf King, who gave you permission to behave so outrageously in my territory?"

Faced with the Amethyst Winged Lion King's questioning, the Purple Lightning Thunder Wolf King had no choice but to stop attacking and explain himself.

"Lion King, I did not mean to offend you. It is only because this human insect plundered my territory and injured several of my capable subordinates that I pursued him all the way here."

"That does not give you the right to wreak havoc in my territory!" the Amethyst Winged Lion King growled, showing the Purple Lightning Thunder Wolf King no courtesy whatsoever.

Their territories bordered one another. Though things appeared peaceful on the surface, their subordinates frequently clashed in secret. Their relationship could hardly be called harmonious.

Today, the Purple Lightning Thunder Wolf King had caused widespread destruction in his territory. If he showed no reaction at all, the other beast emperors would surely mock him. Even the Purple Lightning Thunder Wolf King might think him weak and easy to bully.

Already irritated beyond measure because of Xiao Ce, the Purple Lightning Thunder Wolf King saw that the Amethyst Winged Lion King was showing him no respect and immediately said bluntly, "Lion King, let me capture this slippery human insect first. I will apologize to you afterward."

Seizing the opportunity while the two Sixth-Rank Magical Beasts spoke, Xiao Ce used Nine Turns of the Wandering Dragon once more and shot into the distance.

Even the Purple Lightning Thunder Wolf King could not match the instantaneous burst of Nine Turns of the Wandering Dragon. By the time he reacted, Xiao Ce had already dashed over a hundred zhang away.

Even the newly arrived Amethyst Winged Lion King was astonished by such speed.

After all, he could tell that this human was not even a Dou Wang.

The Purple Lightning Thunder Wolf King immediately panicked at the sight.

"Human insect, do not run!!"

Before his words had even faded, the Purple Lightning Thunder Wolf King abandoned the Amethyst Winged Lion King and hurriedly gave chase after Xiao Ce.

Having pursued Xiao Ce all this way, the Purple Lightning Thunder Wolf King knew exactly how fast this human insect was. If he let his guard down even slightly, the human insect would vanish right under his nose.

But the Purple Lightning Thunder Wolf King had forgotten that the Amethyst Winged Lion King was still nearby.

He had caused widespread destruction in the Amethyst Winged Lion King's territory. If he could not provide the latter with a satisfactory explanation, a battle between Sixth-Rank Magical Beasts would be unavoidable.

Although Xiao Ce had also participated in the destruction, the Amethyst Winged Lion King still placed all the blame on the Purple Lightning Thunder Wolf King.

The reason was simple. If the Purple Lightning Thunder Wolf King had not pursued Xiao Ce, how would this situation have arisen?

This fellow truly did not understand the rules of the world at all.

Did he not know that one did not kill after leaving a territory?

And the Purple Lightning Thunder Wolf King's actions at this moment looked even more like a provocation, driving the Amethyst Winged Lion King's fury to its peak.

"Wolf King, what do you take my territory for?"

"A place you can come and go from whenever you please?"

The Amethyst Winged Lion King let out a furious roar that shook all directions, making the entire mountain range tremble.

As he roared, a blazing purple fireball suddenly condensed atop the formidable horn on his head and shot forth violently.

Trailing a long smoky tail, the purple fireball streaked across the sky like a meteor.

The Purple Lightning Thunder Wolf King was focused solely on pursuing Xiao Ce. Though he noticed the purple fireball the instant it approached, he failed to react in time.

The purple fireball was simply too fast, and he still failed to evade it completely.

The purple fireball exploded behind him. Purple flames instantly engulfed him before spreading in all directions.

"Lion King, you have gone too far! You are ruining my great undertaking over such a trivial matter!"

The Purple Lightning Thunder Wolf King flashed out of the flames in a somewhat bedraggled state, with a large patch of fur on his back scorched black.

"Hmph, pursuing a human who is not even a Dou Wang counts as a great undertaking?"

"Wolf King, you are truly bringing shame upon us Sixth-Rank Magical Beasts!"

The Amethyst Winged Lion King mocked him mercilessly.

The Purple Lightning Thunder Wolf King was immediately struck where it hurt and loudly explained, "What do you know? That human insect is no ordinary Dou Ling."

The Amethyst Winged Lion King had seen Xiao Ce's terrifying burst of speed earlier, so he naturally knew that.

But that did not stop him from using Xiao Ce to ridicule the Purple Lightning Thunder Wolf King.

"No matter how you explain it, you cannot hide the fact that a mere Dou Ling escaped from your grasp!"

"Damn it! If you had not interfered with me, how could I have failed?"

"I have reason to suspect that you are in league with that human. Why else would he flee into your territory instead of anywhere else?"

The Purple Lightning Thunder Wolf King glanced in the direction Xiao Ce had fled. The latter had long since vanished without a trace, and he furiously blamed the Amethyst Winged Lion King for everything.

"What a shameless attempt to shift the blame!"

"What a Purple Lightning Thunder Wolf King!"

"I have endured you for a long time. Today, I shall settle both old and new grudges at once!"

Purple flames blazed around the Amethyst Winged Lion King's body. The temperature of the surrounding air rose sharply as a terrifying aura erupted from within him.

The Purple Lightning Thunder Wolf King had already been holding back a bellyful of rage. Seeing that a battle with the Amethyst Winged Lion King was unavoidable today, he immediately vented all that rage upon him.

"If you want to fight, then fight!"

"I fear nothing!"

Purple lightning coiled around the Purple Lightning Thunder Wolf King's body. Arcs of electricity danced across his fur, while his dark green pupils glimmered with icy light like two ghostly flames, colliding with the Amethyst Winged Lion King's gaze across the distance.

The two overlords of the Magic Beast Mountain Range stood in fierce opposition. The invisible pressure they released made low-ranked Magical Beasts within a hundred li tremble in fear.

At the same time, atop a towering tree in the dense forest.

Xiao Ce looked into the distance, taking in the standoff between the two overlords of the Magic Beast Mountain Range. A satisfied look appeared in his eyes.

Fight. It would be best if you fought to the death!

This was exactly the result he wanted.

If the Amethyst Winged Lion King truly had no temper at all and ignored the Purple Lightning Thunder Wolf King's destruction of his territory, Xiao Ce could only flee toward Qingshan Town for a slim chance at survival.

After all, high-ranked Magical Beasts would not easily set foot in human territory. Otherwise, experts from the human empires would truly venture deep into the Magic Beast Mountain Range to kill them.

Humans could enter Magical Beast territory, but Magical Beasts could not freely enter human territory.

Though it was unfair, that was simply reality.

Who told the Magical Beasts of the Northwest Continent that they were the weaker side?

Watching the fierce battle erupt in the distance, Xiao Ce's lips suddenly curled upward.

Since the Purple Lightning Thunder Wolf King was tied down by the Amethyst Winged Lion King, it was time for him to visit the Purple Lightning Thunder Wolf King's lair and collect a little interest!
