Xiao Yan and Yao Lao Collapse!

"Human woman, you were lucky to escape with your life once, how dare you come back to provoke this King!"

The furious roar of the Amethyst Winged Lion King echoed once again across this region of the Magical Beast Mountain Range.

Xiao Yan, who had been about to harvest medicinal herbs in a valley, froze in place.

"How is this happening again? This woman actually didn't die, and she's back to provoke the Amethyst Winged Lion King!"

Xiao Yan stood up and gazed at the battlefield in the sky, at which point Yao Lao also manifested his figure.

"Strange. Given her strength, even if she fights the Amethyst Winged Lion King again, it will still be a stalemate. What is the point of this?"

Then, Yao Lao caught sight of Xiao Lei, who was hovering in the sky beside Yun Yun.

What made Yao Lao's brows knit tightly together was that he could no longer sense Xiao Lei's cultivation level!

After all, Xiao Lei was now a Dou Emperor, and he had yet to manifest his Dou Qi.

However, looking at the pair of purple wings on Xiao Lei's back, Yao Lao had a guess, but...

"Since when did he become a Dou King?"

Yao Lao was shocked; even if one had great talent, there had to be a limit, right? Even if he had broken through in these past few days, a breakthrough still required time!

And to jump into a battle between Dou Emperors the moment you break through to Dou King? Isn't that just asking for death!

The Amethyst Winged Lion King in the sky also noticed Xiao Lei beside Yun Yun, but it didn't care; it still remembered how pathetic Xiao Lei looked when he took one of its attacks a few days ago.

"Perfect, this King was just looking to avenge the loss of my horn!"

The Amethyst Winged Lion King's voice was like a booming bell, shaking the surroundings. Its mouth full of fangs was terrifyingly abnormal, and its mountain-like body exuded such immense pressure that the surrounding void rippled slightly.

Facing such a ferocious beast, who would dare to stand their ground?

Xiao Lei took a step forward and violently drew the long blade at his waist.

The Amethyst Winged Lion King wanted to avenge its broken horn, but he, Xiao Lei, wanted to avenge that single strike!

A gentleman takes his revenge even after ten years, but Xiao Lei had the ability, so he would stab you the very same night!

"Quick battle, quick decision!"

Xiao Lei didn't lose his sense of reality just because he was a Dou Emperor; one had to know that even now, his cultivation technique was still the lowest Yellow-tier low-grade, and he simply couldn't sustain a long battle like Yun Yun and the Amethyst Winged Lion King had done days prior.

"Ant, you seek death!"

The Amethyst Winged Lion King merely glanced at Xiao Lei, waved its hand to blast out a pillar of purple fire, and then charged toward Yun Yun.

Feeling the Amethyst Winged Lion King's contempt, Xiao Lei felt not a hint of displeasure; instead, the corners of his mouth curled upward, and he held the Xuan Yi high.

"Flame Extremity—Setting Sun Radiance!"

When Xiao Lei said quick battle, he wasn't joking; he started with his ultimate move.

This Dou Technique was the trump card Nalan Yanran had used during the Three-Year Agreement. After Xiao Lei copied it from Yun Yun, the system had automatically converted it into a fire-attribute Dou Technique.

Unlike the restrained lethality of "Wind Extremity—Meteor Kill," the attack of Setting Sun Radiance was grand and imposing.

One could see the Xuan Yi in Xiao Lei's hand erupting with blinding, heaven-piercing light. The air around him churned, and the fire pillar the Amethyst Winged Lion King had casually unleashed was torn to shreds before it could even reach Xiao Lei.

"What is this?"

The Amethyst Winged Lion King and Yun Yun, who were in the midst of a fierce clash, traded another blow and remained evenly matched, but both stopped their hands due to the violent energy in Xiao Lei's grasp.

"Why is this Dou Technique so familiar!"

Yun Yun was suspicious. She was most familiar with the Wind Extremity series of Dou Techniques, but those were all wind-attribute techniques, and how could Xiao Lei possibly know a Misty Cloud Sect technique?

"Impossible! Didn't he struggle to take even one of my hits a few days ago!"

The Amethyst Winged Lion King's heart was shaken to its core. However, after a brief moment of shock, it immediately reacted and roared as it charged toward Xiao Lei.

It must not let Xiao Lei successfully execute such a technique!

Yet, Yun Yun would not let it have its way!

"Wind Push Style!"

With a wave of her palm, seven or eight tornadoes suddenly appeared around Yun Yun. With a point of her long sword, the tornadoes raged toward the charging Amethyst Winged Lion King.

After doing this, the corners of Yun Yun's mouth couldn't help but turn pale.

One had to know that in a normal battle, she could summon at most three tornadoes; to summon so many at once...

However, the effect was excellent; even with the Amethyst Winged Lion King's full-power outburst, it was difficult to break free from the restraint.

At this very moment, the blade light in Xiao Lei's hand finally brewed to its peak and poured forth.

BOOM!

The blade light crisscrossed the battlefield, explosive and violent, landing on the Amethyst Winged Lion King like ten thousand blades slashing through.

Blood erupted instantly. The purple crystals all over the Amethyst Winged Lion King's body were scraped away by the blade light like fish scales, scattering everywhere as blood rained across the sky.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

The blade light splashed, instantly sending giant boulders flying and snapping massive trees upon hitting the ground.

At this moment, Xiao Yan, who was watching the battle from the ground, was left dumbfounded by the scene before him. One had to know that even the battle between Yun Yun and the Amethyst Winged Lion King a few days ago hadn't been this insane!

What drove Xiao Yan even more insane was that only a few days ago, he had witnessed Xiao Lei being sent flying in a pathetic state by a casual strike from the Amethyst Winged Lion King. How could the man unleash such a terrifying offensive after only a few days?

"Careful!"

Yao Lao whispered, raising his hand to summon the Bone Chilling Flame to stand before Xiao Yan. A pale ray of light shot out, grazing against the blade light drifting through the air.

"It is too dangerous here. We are canceling this observation; we must leave at once!"

Yao Lao's expression was grave. He, too, found it impossible to comprehend how Xiao Lei's cultivation had surged to such a terrifying level.

He no longer possessed the composure he had while watching the battle days ago. Because Xiao Lei was an alchemist, Yao Lao was not even certain if the man—who now appeared to possess the cultivation of a Dou Emperor—could detect him!

Scooping up Xiao Yan, Yao Lao rapidly retreated from the battlefield.

Xiao Yan was clearly still in shock, and it was a long while before he slowly spoke, "Teacher, can you sense his cultivation? Did he use some secret technique?"

Yao Lao remained silent at these words. He had brought Xiao Yan to observe the strong, intending for him to remain humble, open-minded, and driven to forge ahead.

But now, it seemed he had overstimulated him!

That unknown constitution of Xiao Lei's seemed far too heaven-defying!

"Sigh, in truth, even this master cannot perceive his exact cultivation level now. His soul power is not weak, and it has masked his aura. However, judging by his previous strike, he is undoubtedly a Dou Emperor, and it does not appear to be the result of a secret technique!"

Yao Lao sighed helplessly. He knew he could not deceive Xiao Yan, so he might as well be blunt.

After a long silence, Xiao Yan suddenly asked, "Teacher, do you think I have any hope of catching up to him?"

Yao Lao did not speak. Never mind the Northwest Continent; even back when he was in the Yao Clan, he had never heard of such talent. A little over a year ago, he was still a Dou Practitioner, yet in one year, he had become a Dou Emperor—and in just these past few days, he had leaped from the peak of Dou Ling directly to Dou Emperor.

Unheard of! Yao Lao felt that this kind of talent had completely overturned the logic of cultivation!

After all, no matter how heaven-defying one's talent was, breakthroughs required time. Furthermore, looking at Xiao Lei, there was clearly no sign of unstable Dou Qi; he was highly proficient in the use of Dou Techniques and possessed no small amount of alchemical skill.

"How on earth did he do it!"

As he pondered this, Yao Lao felt he was on the verge of a breakdown himself!

Of course, the Amethyst Winged Lion King was breaking down far more than he was. At this moment, it was bathed in blood and in an utterly wretched state!

"Human, I will give you the Purple Spirit Crystal! Leave this place."

Forced by the situation, Xiao Lei had already displayed strength no less than that of Yun Yun. With the two of them combined, the Amethyst Winged Lion King felt a thick scent of death.

At this moment, even the arrogant Amethyst Winged Lion King had no choice but to lower its head and concede.

Unfortunately, it was absolutely impossible for Xiao Lei to stop!

How foolish!

If he killed the Amethyst Winged Lion King, he could take the item anyway!

Besides, he had come today specifically for revenge!

Ignoring the Amethyst Winged Lion King entirely, Xiao Lei swallowed a handful of Qi Recovery Pills and continued to charge toward the beast.

"Arrogant!"

Seeing Xiao Lei's relentless demeanor, the Amethyst Winged Lion King knew reconciliation was impossible. It let out a roar and clashed with Xiao Lei.

Meanwhile, Yun Yun withdrew her longsword, condensing all her Dou Qi into the blade held in her hand.

Seeing this, the Amethyst Winged Lion King's eyes nearly split from rage; this was the very Extreme Wind: Meteor Kill that had nearly cost it its life a few days ago.

"You dare to be distracted while fighting me? It seems you haven't been punched enough!"

Xiao Lei had already put away his long blade, switching to his fists instead.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A series of sounds from physical collisions rang through the sky. The sensation of fist meeting flesh made Xiao Lei let out a long, exhilarating howl; the taste of revenge was truly gratifying!

"Eight-Level Collapse! Eight-Level Collapse! Eight-Level Collapse!"

Xiao Lei did not hold back his Dou Qi in the slightest. His fist wind whistled, beating the Amethyst Winged Lion King until it was in unbearable agony.

What made it even more helpless was that Xiao Lei seemed to have consumed medicinal pills to recover from his injuries; the flesh that had just been blasted away by their collision would grow back the very next moment!

"Extreme Wind: Meteor Kill!"

Yun Yun's voice rang out beside the Amethyst Winged Lion King's ear like the whisper of a demon.
