Heaven-Burning Palm

Xiao Jie saw the Amethyst Winged Lion King use the same trick again, so he unleashed Lightning Flash Thunder Sound once more and instantly arrived directly above it.

The energy of the Deep-tier Intermediate Dou Technique, Crimson Flame Palm, flowed directly into the Flowing Light Dragon-Slaying Blade. Xiao Jie swung down, sending a crescent-shaped wave of flaming energy hurtling toward the Amethyst Winged Lion King at tremendous speed.

A purple energy barrier instantly appeared around the Amethyst Winged Lion King. When Xiao Jie's energy blade struck it, it shattered apart like broken glass.

Xiao Jie was not surprised. The majestic Rank Six Magical Beast possessed the strength of a Dou Emperor. If it could be injured so easily by him, it would not deserve to be called a Dou Emperor. The first time, the Amethyst Winged Lion King had simply underestimated him, allowing him to wound it in one stroke.

Xiao Jie understood this clearly. He activated Explosive Step, borrowing force in midair to instantly increase his speed. The mid-tier Earth-class Lightning Flash Thunder Sound consumed too much Dou Qi, and he could not use it too many times lest he exhaust himself. It was best to use Deep-tier Dou Techniques instead.

He had come this time only to temper himself. With the Deep-tier Advanced Dou Technique, Void-Shattering Slash, he charged toward the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

Under the combined might of Xiao Jie's Void-Shattering Slash and the Flowing Light Dragon-Slaying Blade, a sound like shattering glass rang out. The Amethyst Winged Lion King's energy barrier exploded the instant that sound echoed.

Xiao Jie's Flowing Light Dragon-Slaying Blade, carrying the remaining force of Void-Shattering Slash, struck the Amethyst Winged Lion King. Before it could counterattack, he had already used Explosive Step to pull away.

After all, his small frame was nowhere near as tough as that lion's thick hide. It had taken two of his blows and still suffered no serious injuries.

As for the Lion King, it did not roar in rage as it had the first time after being injured. The energy remaining in that slash by the time it hit its body had been minimal, so it knew exactly how severe the wound was.

Still, it was furious. As the overlord of the Magical Beast Mountain Range and a Rank Six high-level magical beast, it had been injured twice in quick succession by a Seven-Star Dou Wang. Though the wounds were not serious, this was a provocation against its dignity, and it could not tolerate it.

Suddenly, an even more terrifying amount of energy than before began gathering on the Amethyst Winged Lion King's horn.

Xiao Jie knew the lion was planning to get serious. He put away the Flowing Light Dragon-Slaying Blade, took a deep breath, and flashed higher into the sky. Since you want to decide the victor, then this young master will accompany you!

Golden flames wrapped around Xiao Jie's body as he silently recited in his heart.

Heavenly Fire Three-Mysterious Transformation! First Transformation!

Xiao Jie's cultivation suddenly surged to the level of a Peak Eight-Star Dou Wang. He raised his right palm as powerful energy began to gather within it. This was Heaven-Burning Palm, one of the three Earth-class Dou Techniques Xiao Jie had learned!

The Amethyst Winged Lion King had already finished gathering its energy. In an instant, a massive beam of energy shot toward Xiao Jie amid violent energy turbulence.

The trees in the mountains beneath the Amethyst Winged Lion King were forced down, toppling outward in every direction from the Lion King. An invisible energy shockwave spread in all directions, startling flocks of birds and herds of beasts in the distance. These low-ranked magical beasts scattered in panic.

The energy attack was incredibly fast and was about to reach Xiao Jie in the blink of an eye. The energy gathering in his right palm abruptly stopped, and Xiao Jie launched a heavy palm strike.

A purple beam collided with a massive crimson palm. The two energies clashed, and an even more powerful blast wave spread outward in all directions, startling birds and beasts even farther away.

Before long, the energy dissipated. Only the Amethyst Winged Lion King remained in the sky, while Xiao Jie had already transformed into a purple streak and sped away. His voice drifted over from afar.

"Ha ha ha! Many thanks to the Lion King for serving as my sparring partner this time. Xiao offers his thanks. If my hands ever get itchy again, I'll come back to exchange a few moves with the Lion King."

Watching that streak of light, the Amethyst Winged Lion King knew it was already too late to give chase. Moreover, its child was still in the cave, and it could not stray too far from its dwelling. Though furious, it had no choice but to let out a roar to vent its anger.
