Battle Against the Lion King

Xiao Jie had just broken through to the Seven-Star Dou Wang realm. Feeling the surging energy within him, he could not help wanting to find someone to spar with. He headed straight for the Magical Beast Mountain Range, intending to practice against the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

Xiao Jie possessed the complete Heavenly Fire Three-Mysterious Transformation. Although he had yet to refine any Heavenly Flames, he had a sixth-tier beast flame.

After breaking through to the Dou Wang realm, Xiao Jie had asked Ya Fei to help him acquire it through trade. This beast flame was known as the Blazing Golden Lion Flame, obtained from a sixth-tier magical beast, the Blazing Golden Lion King. Using it to activate the first transformation of the Heavenly Fire Three-Mysterious Transformation could barely raise his cultivation by two stars.

With his many Dou Techniques, medicinal pills, secret arts, and masterful fire-controlling skills, exchanging a few moves with the Amethyst Winged Lion King should not be a problem. He believed its strength would be no weaker than Yun Yun's at the Three-Star Dou Emperor realm. Before long, Xiao Jie arrived above the Amethyst Winged Lion King's territory.

Xiao Jie took a greatsword from his Storage Ring. Its hilt was adorned with a dragon head, and its blade was three feet long. The mirror-like blade reflected Xiao Jie's handsome yet resolute face, while flowing light seemed to continuously drift along its sharp edge. This blade was called the Flowing Light Dragon-Slaying Blade.

This weapon had come from the Simulator. Its materials were decent and it felt comfortable to wield, so Xiao Jie had temporarily chosen it as his weapon.

Xiao Jie released the pressure of a Dou Wang. Sure enough, the Amethyst Winged Lion King appeared in the sky and confronted him. The Amethyst Winged Lion King spoke.

"Human, have you come to my territory as a mere Dou Wang to seek death?"

"Lion King, you jest. I, Xiao, have not lived long enough yet. I came today only to spar with you and see whether my strength is merely superficial."

Xiao Jie said with a light laugh.

"Hmph, a mere Dou Wang dares provoke me? It seems this Amethyst Winged Lion King has been looked down upon by you humans."

As soon as the Amethyst Winged Lion King finished speaking, a ball of energy formed in its mouth. In an instant, an extremely fast beam shot toward Xiao Jie. Apart from the sound of energy tearing through the air, only the Amethyst Winged Lion King's disdainful voice remained.

"You are only a Seven-Star Dou Wang, yet you dare boast of sparring with me? Die!"

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

Xiao Jie had already arrived at the Amethyst Winged Lion King's side. With the Flowing Light Dragon-Slaying Blade in hand, he slashed at its body. This strike was merely a test, and he had not used any Dou Technique. He relied solely on his own strength and the blade's sharpness to wound the Amethyst Winged Lion King. With an angry roar, the Amethyst Winged Lion King's figure flashed into the distance.

The pained Amethyst Winged Lion King looked at the human before it, and the contempt in its eyes gradually faded. That human had cut a wound into its body without even using a Dou Technique. Though the wound was 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 seriously injured.

"How was that, Lion King? That slash was not bad, was it? I did not even use a Dou Technique just now. Otherwise, you would already be lying on the ground. But then I would not be able to test my own strength, so I hope the Lion King will take this seriously."

Xiao Jie spoke to the Amethyst Winged Lion King, which had flashed into the distance. The moment he finished his last sentence, he shot toward it.

By now, the Amethyst Winged Lion King no longer underestimated this human Dou Wang. Instead, it regarded him as an opponent of the same level.

The instant Xiao Jie charged forward, the Amethyst Winged Lion King once again gathered energy in an instant and launched it toward him.
