Beast Taming! Yao Chen Was Dumbfounded

Yao Chen had been feeling quite stifled after being cooped up for several days.

Upon learning that Xiao Yu was willing to let him out, provided he lent his power in return, Yao Chen agreed without a moment's hesitation.

He had lent his power to Xiao Yu once before back at the Xiao Clan.

He had assumed this time would be the same as the last, requiring only a simple strike.

Who could have known they would be facing a Tier 6 Magical Beast, and one in a state of absolute fury at that?

"Don't panic, old man. You don't need to lift a finger; just watch me work."

Xiao Yu responded indifferently, his gaze fixed on the Amethyst Winged Lion King as it descended straight toward him.

The massive figure cast a long shadow over Xiao Yu.

"Human, hand that woman over to this King, and this King may spare your life."

The Amethyst Winged Lion King's voice was deep, its crimson eyes filled with killing intent as it stared at the unconscious Yun Yun.

It did not hold Xiao Yu in any regard.

When Yun Yun had first discovered Xiao Yu earlier, the Amethyst Winged Lion King had noticed him too.

Because he was merely a Dou Shi, such a person was not worth its attention.

Any one of its subordinates could crush him as easily as an ant.

"Spare my life? No, no, no, your attitude is entirely incorrect." Despite being watched by a pair of giant blood-red pupils, Xiao Yu's expression remained calm.

As if he didn't see the man-eating glare of the Amethyst Winged Lion King, he said lightly, "Furthermore, you have the wrong address. You should call me Master, not human."

Master?!

It was the king of the eastern Magical Beast Mountain Range! A Tier 6 Magical Beast, the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

A human youth wanted it to call him Master?

The Amethyst Winged Lion King completely lost its patience and roared, "Then you can go to hell with this woman!"

Vast Dou Qi, like a surging tidal wave, swept toward Xiao Yu.

Inside the ring, Yao Chen felt a sense of despair.

If Xiao Yu died in the Magical Beast Mountain Range, would he eventually be swallowed by a beast along with the ring, never to see the light of day again?

"Beast Control!"

At that moment, Xiao Yu flicked a golden slip of paper from his hand, spitting a stream of blood that struck it with pinpoint accuracy.

Whoosh!

The golden paper hovered in mid-air, suddenly shrinking and transforming into a streak of golden light.

Swish!

Before the Amethyst Winged Lion King could react, it was struck by the golden light.

A look of distinctly human confusion appeared in its giant blood-red pupils.

What was this?

When the golden light touched its body, it felt nothing at all.

It was as if its eyes had played a trick on it.

"Down!"

Just then, Xiao Yu softly spat out a single word.

Yet, that word carried the weight of a Thousand Jun.

BOOM!

The Amethyst Winged Lion King's body plummeted, slamming into the ground to form a massive crater, the powerful shockwave snapping and toppling the surrounding trees.

Some nearby magical beasts that couldn't dodge in time were instantly crushed into pulp.

"Human, what have you done to this King?!"

From within the crater, the Amethyst Winged Lion King let out an enraged roar.

But beyond speaking, it found itself completely unable to move.

The Amethyst Winged Lion King realized that its body was no longer under its own control.

"You still don't grasp the situation, do you?" Xiao Yu shook his head slightly as he slowly descended.

In the crater, the Amethyst Winged Lion King began to writhe in agony, its massive paws clutching its own head.

It felt as if a needle had been driven into its brain and was being stirred incessantly.

This pain was far more intense than when its horn had been shorn off earlier.

Xiao Yu watched it quietly, saying nothing.

"Kid, what did you do to it? What was that paper just now?"

Shocked by the Amethyst Winged Lion King's abnormal behavior, Yao Chen emerged from the ring, his eyes filled with astonishment.

He felt as though the experience he had accumulated from roaming the continent for many years was on the verge of total collapse.

A Tier 6 Magical Beast had actually been subdued by an unremarkable piece of paper.

Furthermore, it appeared that the Amethyst Winged Lion King was currently unable to resist.

"A method for controlling magical beasts—you don't even know about this?" Xiao Yu looked at Yao Chen.

His tone was nonchalant, as if he were speaking of a trivial matter.

Yao Chen's expression froze, his eyes filled with bewilderment.

Am I supposed to know? Where would I have learned this? In all my years, I have never seen a Dou Shi capable of controlling a Tier 6 Magical Beast.

At this moment, the Amethyst Winged Lion King below could no longer hold on, and it spoke in a hoarse voice: "Mas-Master, I know I was wrong. Please, spare me."

"It would have been better if you had been this way from the start." Hearing its submission, Xiao Yu shifted his thoughts.

The Beast Taming Talisman contained specific control mechanisms that could induce unbearable agony.

This was somewhat similar to the effect of the Tight-Fillet Spell.

This was because this form of beast taming did not simply turn the magical beast into a mindless puppet.

Xiao Yu could directly control the actions of the Amethyst Winged Lion King, but he preferred for the creature to act according to his intent rather than having to command every single movement.

The Amethyst Winged Lion King climbed out of the crater, then prostrated itself before Xiao Yu, slowly lowering its massive head.

BOOM!

Nearby magical beasts witnessed this scene and were thrown into a complete panic, all of them fleeing toward the distance.

The Lion King had actually been subdued by a young man; they did not want to suffer the same fate.

"Let's go, time to head home."

Xiao Yu stepped onto the back of the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

"Master, may I bring my child along?" the Amethyst Winged Lion King asked cautiously.

It worried that if it left the Magical Beast Mountain Range, the little lion would be injured due to a lack of protection.

"Fine." Xiao Yu agreed; he was a parent himself and could understand the Amethyst Winged Lion King's concerns.

Yao Chen returned to the ring and communicated with Xiao Yu in the depths of his mind, "Kid, you actually managed to do it? How on earth did you pull that off?"

He was incredibly curious.

Yao Chen had visited many ruins, yet he had never seen any method that would allow a Dou Shi to control a Tier 6 Magical Beast.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he simply wouldn't have believed it to be true.

Xiao Yu did not answer and immediately sealed Yao Chen away again.

Perhaps fearing that Xiao Yu would use that agonizing torture again, the Amethyst Winged Lion King moved very quickly.

It appeared with a smaller lion cub in tow.

Following that, it let Xiao Yu land on its back, clamped the little lion between its legs, and soared into the sky.

Xiao Yu first returned to the previous location, but he did not see any sign of Xiao Yi Xian.

Where is she? Did she leave first? Xiao Yu wondered.

The Amethyst Winged Lion King spoke up: "Master, are you looking for someone?"

Xiao Yu replied: "Yes."

"I sense a human aura to the front-left. I am not sure if it is the person you are looking for." As a Tier 6 Magical Beast, the Amethyst Winged Lion King's sensory range was far superior to Xiao Yu's.

"Go take a look," Xiao Yu commanded.

The Amethyst Winged Lion King took flight once more; it was fast, covering several hundred meters in just a few breaths.

Down in the forest, there was a sturdy Blue Eagle, and beside it, a solitary figure.

The person was fully focused, tensely locked in a standoff with a magical beast opposite them.

Xiao Yi Xian held a makeshift wooden club in her hands, standing beside the Blue Eagle.

She had intended to leave right after Xiao Yu departed.

However, the lingering pressure from the battle between the Amethyst Winged Lion King and Yun Yun had been too intense; the Blue Eagle had been suppressed and couldn't even stand, let alone fly.

With no other choice, Xiao Yi Xian had to wait; she could not abandon Xiao Lan to flee on her own.

That wait lasted for an entire afternoon.

Finally, when Xiao Lan was able to take off, Xiao Yi Xian had impatiently stood on its back, urging it to leave as quickly as possible.

Unexpectedly, they hadn't flown far when a magical beast suddenly lunged from the side, slamming hard into the Blue Eagle's belly.

The Blue Eagle struggled as it descended, preventing Xiao Yi Xian from falling from mid-air.

However, due to its injuries, it was temporarily unable to fly again.

The magical beast now stood opposite Xiao Yi Xian, seemingly aware that its prey posed no threat, so it did not immediately pounce to tear her apart.

"Get lost! Don't come any closer—do you believe I'll use my poison to kill you!"

Xiao Yi Xian brandished her wooden stick, shouting to bolster her own courage.

Her strength was too weak, and the magical beast before her exuded an aura at least no less than that of a Tier 3 magical beast.

"ROAR!"

The magical beast suddenly bellowed.

Is it going to attack?

Xiao Yi Xian's heart tightened, her knuckles turning white as she gripped the wooden stick, yet she did not retreat, preparing herself for the fate of dying alongside the Blue Eagle.

The next second, she saw the magical beast turn its head and leave.

"What is going on? Why did it run away?"

Xiao Yi Xian stood frozen in place, then saw a purple flame descend from the sky.

The magical beast that had driven her to the brink of despair was burned directly into ash.

At this moment, a massive shadow enveloped Xiao Yi Xian.

The already injured Blue Eagle trembled even more violently, as if it had encountered a terrifying natural predator.

Xiao Yi Xian's heart skipped a beat; she slowly turned around and looked up.

"Amethyst Winged Lion King?!"

The moment she saw the figure in the sky clearly, her mind went blank, and she let out a shrill scream.
