The Amethyst Winged Lion King's Defeat!

After recuperating for several days.

Yun Yun's injuries gradually recovered.

The seal on her body also slowly faded, and Dou Qi began flowing through her body once more.

Yun Yun stood up and stretched her wrists.

Xiao Xuan sat at the entrance of the cave. Hearing the movement, he turned to glance at her.

"Recovered?"

"Mm." Yun Yun nodded.

She looked at Xiao Xuan, a complicated emotion flashing through her eyes.

For the past few days, this young man had guarded the cave entrance.

During the day, he changed her medicine, and at night, he meditated at the entrance.

He had never left even half a step.

"I should go," Yun Yun said.

Xiao Xuan said nothing.

Yun Yun looked at him and fell silent for a moment.

"What is your name?"

"Xiao Xuan."

Yun Yun silently repeated the name.

Xiao Xuan.

A member of the Xiao Clan?

Naturally, she was familiar with the Xiao Clan of Wutan City.

An ordinary clan in a small border city of the Jia Ma Empire. Xiao Yan of the Xiao Clan was even Yanran's fiancé.

How could a tiny clan like the Xiao Clan produce such a young Dou Emperor expert?

Yun Yun was puzzled, but she did not ask further.

She turned and walked out of the cave.

After taking a few steps, she stopped again.

She turned back to look at Xiao Xuan.

Remembering how he had loosened her collar to apply medicine while she was unconscious, her cheeks grew slightly hot.

The dignified Cloud Mist Sect Master, one of the Jia Ma Empire's ten greatest experts.

And yet, a young man had seen her naked body.

Yun Yun bit her lip and withdrew her gaze.

"Until we meet again."

With that, she spread her Dou Qi wings and shot into the sky, vanishing beyond the horizon.

Xiao Xuan watched her figure disappear before looking away.

He stood up and took out the Amethyst Source from his Storage Ring.

A mass of purple crystal emitted a faint glow.

This was the companion treasure from the Amethyst Winged Lion King's lair.

Xiao Xuan put the Amethyst Source back into his Storage Ring and walked out of the cave.

Xiao Xuan left the Magic Beast Mountain Range and was about to spread his Dou Qi wings and depart.

A furious roar came from the sky.

A massive figure swooped down from the clouds and blocked his path.

The Amethyst Winged Lion King.

Cracks still remained in its Crystal Armor, and its wounds had yet to fully heal.

Yet its eyes were filled with hatred.

"Human brat, hand over the Amethyst Source."

The Amethyst Winged Lion King growled.

Xiao Xuan looked at it without much expression.

"No."

A trace of savagery flashed through the Amethyst Winged Lion King's eyes.

It stopped wasting words as the Dou Qi within its body abruptly erupted.

Its enormous body pounced toward Xiao Xuan, both claws striking out.

Xiao Xuan did not retreat.

He circulated the Dou Qi in his body and met it with a palm strike.

"Boom!"

Palm and claw collided, kicking up a wave of air.

The Amethyst Winged Lion King was knocked back several steps.

Xiao Xuan also retreated one step.

A flicker of surprise crossed the Amethyst Winged Lion King's eyes.

After just a few days, this human brat seemed to have grown stronger again.

It refused to accept this.

The Amethyst Winged Lion King pounced again, this time even faster.

Xiao Xuan raised his hand.

Lion-Tiger Gold-Shattering Chant.

A High-Tier Profound Grade sonic Dou Technique.

A soundwave burst from his mouth and blasted toward the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

The Amethyst Winged Lion King was struck by the soundwave, and its body shuddered.

It let out a furious roar, forcing its way through the soundwave as it continued charging toward Xiao Xuan.

Xiao Xuan frowned slightly.

His figure flashed, and he appeared at the Amethyst Winged Lion King's side.

He struck its Crystal Armor with his palm.

Golden flames surged from his palm.

Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame.

The Amethyst Winged Lion King let out a miserable scream.

It spun around sharply and swiped a claw at Xiao Xuan.

Xiao Xuan raised his hand to block it.

"Bang!"

Xiao Xuan was sent flying back more than ten steps, a trace of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

The Amethyst Winged Lion King was not faring well either.

A large hole had been burned into its Crystal Armor by the Heavenly Flames, exposing the flesh beneath.

The Amethyst Winged Lion King stared at Xiao Xuan, its eyes full of wariness.

This human brat was too troublesome.

If they continued fighting, it would gain no advantage.

The Amethyst Winged Lion King turned and fled, disappearing into the depths of the forest after a few leaps.

Xiao Xuan wiped the blood from his mouth and did not pursue it.

He spread his Dou Qi wings and flew toward Wutan City.

The Xiao Clan.

Xiao Xuan landed in the rear courtyard and walked toward the place where Xiao Xun'er usually cultivated.

Xiao Xun'er was sitting cross-legged on a cushion in the courtyard, her eyes closed as she regulated her breathing.

Hearing footsteps, she opened her eyes.

The moment she saw Xiao Xuan, a smile immediately blossomed across Xiao Xun'er's face.

"Brother Xiao Xuan."

She stood up and quickly walked over to him.

"Where did you go these past few days? I couldn't find you anywhere."

"I went out for a while," Xiao Xuan said.

Xiao Xun'er looked at him, a trace of concern flashing through her eyes.

"Brother Xiao Xuan, are you injured?"

"It's nothing," Xiao Xuan said.

He took out the Amethyst Source from his Storage Ring and handed it to her.

Xiao Xun'er accepted the Amethyst Source and lowered her head to examine it.

A mass of purple crystal emitted a gentle glow.

It contained an extremely vast amount of energy.

"Brother Xiao Xuan, what is this?"

"The Amethyst Winged Lion King's Amethyst Source," Xiao Xuan said.

Xiao Xun'er's pupils contracted slightly.

The Amethyst Winged Lion King.

A Sixth-Tier Magical Beast.

An expert equivalent to a human Dou Emperor.

Its companion treasure, the Amethyst Source, had an enormous accelerating effect on cultivation.

"Brother Xiao Xuan, you went to find the Amethyst Winged Lion King?" Even Xiao Xun'er's voice changed slightly.

"Mm," Xiao Xuan said.

Xiao Xun'er looked at him, unable to speak for a long while.

Brother Xiao Xuan had gone alone into the Magic Beast Mountain Range to snatch the Amethyst Source from a Sixth-Tier Magical Beast?

Just how strong was he?

"Xun'er, refine and absorb it," Xiao Xuan said.

"But..." Xiao Xun'er looked at the Amethyst Source in her hand. "This is too precious."

"If I gave it to you, take it," Xiao Xuan said.

Xiao Xun'er bit her lip.

She raised her head to look at Xiao Xuan, her eyes slightly reddened.

Xiao Xun'er took a deep breath and tightly gripped the Amethyst Source in her hand.

Xiao Xuan nodded.

"Cultivate well."

With that, he turned and left the courtyard.

Xiao Xun'er watched his back, the light in her eyes growing brighter and brighter.

Brother Xiao Xuan had even dared provoke the Amethyst Winged Lion King for her sake.

She had to cultivate diligently.

She could not let down Brother Xiao Xuan's expectations.

Xiao Xun'er silently made a vow in her heart.

Night fell.

Xiao Xun'er sat in her room, cross-legged on her bed.

She placed the Amethyst Source before her and closed her eyes.

The Dou Qi in her body began circulating according to her cultivation method.

The energy within the Amethyst Source was drawn out and poured into her body.

That energy was extraordinarily vast.

Xiao Xun'er carefully guided the energy as it slowly flowed through her meridians.

Her Dou Qi began to rise.

Her breakthrough speed was astonishingly fast.

Xiao Xun'er continued absorbing the Amethyst Source's energy.

Xiao Xun'er opened her eyes, a flash of purple light crossing them.

Seven-Star Dou Zhe.

Just part of the energy from one Amethyst Source had allowed her to break through four stars in succession.

A smile appeared on Xiao Xun'er's face.

She lowered her head to look at the Amethyst Source in her hand.

More than half of its energy remained.

If she refined and absorbed all of it, she could at least break through to Dou Shi.

Xiao Xuan sat in his own room.

He closed his eyes and waited for the system's feedback.

Sure enough.

The system's voice sounded in his mind.

[Detected that the bonded target's strength had risen to Seven-Star Dou Zhe.]

[Host has received cultivation feedback.]

[Generating feedback...]

A vast power exploded within his body.

Dou Qi surged wildly through his meridians.

His cultivation began to rise.

Five-Star Dou Emperor Peak.

Only then did it finally stop.

Xiao Xuan opened his eyes, a glimmer of golden light flashing through them.

Five-Star Dou Emperor Peak.

The corners of Xiao Xuan's lips curled upward slightly.

This was only after refining part of the Amethyst Source.

Once Xiao Xun'er completely refined and absorbed the remaining Amethyst Source, her strength would continue to increase.

By then, his strength would break through as well.

Dou Zong.

It was within reach.
