Battle with the Lion King

Xiao Jie, having just broken through to a seven-star Dou King, felt the surging energy within him and couldn't help but want to spar with someone, so he charged straight toward the Magical Beast Mountain Range, intending to test his skills against the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

Xiao Jie possessed the complete version of the Heavenly Fire Three-Mysterious Transformation; although he had not yet refined a Heavenly Flame, he did possess a Tier 6 beast flame.

This was something he had asked Ya Fei to trade for after he broke through to the Dou King realm. The beast flame, known as the Blazing Golden Lion Flame, had been obtained from a Tier 6 Magical Beast, the Blazing Golden Lion King. Using it to activate the first transformation of the Heavenly Fire Three-Mysterious Transformation could now barely boost his cultivation by two star levels.

With his numerous Dou Techniques, medicinal pills, secret arts, and his masterful fire control, he should have no problem trading blows with the Amethyst Winged Lion King. He believed its strength would not be inferior to that of the three-star Dou Emperor Yun Yun. Before long, Xiao Jie arrived in the sky above the Amethyst Winged Lion King's territory.

Xiao Jie took a large blade from his Storage Ring. The hilt was adorned with a dragon head, and the three-foot-long, mirror-like blade reflected his refined yet resolute face. A flowing light seemed to constantly ripple across the sharp edge; this blade was named the Flowing Light Dragon-Slaying Blade.

This blade was a weapon Xiao Jie had obtained from the Simulator. Its materials were excellent and it felt comfortable to use, so he had temporarily adopted it as his weapon.

Xiao Jie released the pressure of a Dou King. Sure enough, the figure of the Amethyst Winged Lion King appeared in the sky to confront him, and the Amethyst Winged Lion King spoke up.

"Human, you are a mere Dou King trespassing in my territory—are you looking for death?"

"You jest, Lion King. This Xiao has not lived enough yet. I have come today merely to spar with you and verify whether my strength is hollow."

Xiao Jie said with a light chuckle.

"Hmph, a mere Dou King dares to provoke me? It seems I, the Amethyst Winged Lion King, am being looked down upon by you humans."

No sooner had the Amethyst Winged Lion King finished speaking than an energy orb appeared in its mouth. In an instant, a blindingly fast beam of light shot toward Xiao Jie. Aside from the sound of energy tearing through the air, only the Amethyst Winged Lion King's disdainful tone remained.

"Just a seven-star Dou King, yet you dare to spout wild words about sparring with me. Go to hell."

The moment the Amethyst Winged Lion King began condensing its energy, Xiao Jie executed the Earth-tier intermediate movement Dou Technique, Lightning Flash Thunder Sound. A streak of purple lightning crossed paths with the Lion King's beam of light in the sky.

Xiao Jie had already arrived at the side of the Amethyst Winged Lion King. He swung the Flowing Light Dragon-Slaying Blade, slashing at the beast. This strike was merely a probe; he had used no Dou Technique, relying solely on his own strength and the sharpness of the blade to inflict damage. With a roar, the Amethyst Winged Lion King flashed away into the distance.

Stung by the pain, the Amethyst Winged Lion King looked at the human before it, its eyes gradually shedding their contempt. This human had sliced a wound into its body without even using a Dou Technique. While not deep, it was enough to prove that this person's strength could not be underestimated. If he had used a Dou Technique just now, it might have already been severely injured.

"How was that, Lion King? Was my strike not decent? I didn't even use a Dou Technique just now; otherwise, you would already be on the ground. But that would have prevented me from testing my own strength, so I hope you will take this seriously, Lion King."

Xiao Jie said this while looking at the Amethyst Winged Lion King, which had retreated into the distance. As soon as he finished his last sentence, he exploded forward toward the beast.

The Amethyst Winged Lion King no longer looked down on this Dou King-level human, instead treating him as an opponent of its own rank.

The moment Xiao Jie charged up, the Amethyst Winged Lion King once again instantly condensed its energy and launched a strike toward him.
