Success

Seeing Xiao Yu nod, Yun Yun said no more. With a flap of her wings, her graceful body soared lightly into the sky and darted like lightning toward the entrance of the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's cave atop the mountain!

Yun Yun made no attempt to conceal herself and flew straight to the cave entrance. Since this was the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's territory, only two third-rank magical beasts stood guard. The beasts roared at Yun Yun, but she clenched her jade-like hand, and a cyan longsword appeared within it. She transformed into a streak of cyan light and, in an instant, took the lives of both beasts!

The beasts' roars and the Dou Emperor aura surging from Yun Yun sent the surrounding magical beasts fleeing in panic. Against a human expert like her, only the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King within the cave could put up a fight!

"Who dares behave so recklessly before this king?!" An angry roar came from within the cave, its furious voice carrying a violent aura. Xiao Yu watched Yun Yun flash back into the sky as a streak of purple light shot out of the cave like lightning.

"Human, you dare kill my kin. Are you courting death?" the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King roared.

Only now did Xiao Yu get a close look at the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King. It resembled a lion from Earth, except it was four or five times larger, with a pair of purple wings growing from either side of its body and a fiery-red spiraling horn atop its head. Standing in the void, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King looked incomparably majestic. Xiao Yu thought that once he reached the Dou Emperor realm, he had to experience the thrill of standing in midair for himself!

Yun Yun and the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King had never intended to negotiate from the start, so she had directly killed the magical beasts guarding the entrance to make it easier for Xiao Yu to enter and take the Purple Spirit Crystal. Watching the human and beast already fighting in the sky, while waves of oppressive energy continuously spread through the air, Xiao Yu's eyes flickered with envy. But he had not forgotten what he was supposed to do. The Moon Chase Movement Technique flashed into action, and he turned into an afterimage as he rushed inside.

After passing through the long cave passage, Xiao Yu saw two branching paths ahead. Without the slightest hesitation, he chose the path to the right. The left path led to the Companion Purple Crystal Source, and that thing required a Purple Spirit Crystal to remove. Xiao Yu had originally prepared many things in case, after saving someone in the Monster Mountain Range, events still followed the original plot. Though there were now some deviations, it did not matter.

After several flashes, Xiao Yu reached the end of the passage. Sure enough, he saw a smaller creature than the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King lying on the ground, fast asleep. He took out a purple jade bottle from his robes. Inside was a carefully refined sleeping drug, specifically prepared to deal with high-rank magical beasts such as third- and fourth-rank ones. This young Purple Crystal Winged Lion King was, at most, only third-rank. Knocking it out would be no problem.

After plugging his nose, Xiao Yu scattered the sleeping drug from the purple jade bottle. With a light clap of his Dou Qi-filled hand, the drug drifted toward the sleeping young Purple Crystal Winged Lion King. Its nose twitched, then its whole body went limp. The drug had taken effect. The little creature had fallen into a deep sleep and definitely would not wake anytime soon!

Xiao Yu crept deeper into the cave. Looking at the walls glittering with purple light, he took out Black Scale and tapped along the stone wall. At last, he discovered the Purple Spirit Crystal behind a chunk of purple crystal. After storing the Purple Spirit Crystal from the small hollow in his Storage Ring, he grabbed a piece of purple spirit stone and ran toward the other branch. That was where the thing he truly wanted was!

Without stopping, Xiao Yu arrived there and saw the purple orb atop the stone platform. Delighted, he licked his dry lips. He then stepped before the Companion Purple Crystal Source, raised the purple spirit stone in his hand, and smashed it down fiercely. At the same time, Dou Qi surged from his body and gathered all the Companion Purple Crystal Source that dripped down. Only after taking out a large white bottle and filling it with all of the Companion Purple Crystal Source did he finally let out a breath of relief.

Roar!

At that moment, an extremely furious beastly roar rang out. Xiao Yu's expression changed at once. "Damn it, its connection to the Companion Purple Crystal Source is that close?"

Xiao Yu activated the Moon Chase Movement Technique and raced toward the cave exit. He absolutely could not delay here. The moment he emerged from the branching passage, he saw the young Purple Crystal Winged Lion King swaying as it flew toward him. It appeared that the drug's effects had not fully faded. Its pale purple beast eyes glared furiously at Xiao Yu. "Roar!" A violent aura erupted from the young Purple Crystal Winged Lion King. Opening its maw, it unleashed a purple streak of energy that swept toward Xiao Yu. Relying on his nimble movement technique, Xiao Yu dodged the attack directly!

Boom!

The tremendous energy blasted a huge hole through the cave wall behind Xiao Yu. He stared at the young Purple Crystal Winged Lion King in shock. "Hey, hey, hey, are you seriously trying to kill me? I'm really strong, you know. Don't do anything reckless!"

"Roar!" The young Purple Crystal Winged Lion King clearly could not understand Xiao Yu's words and immediately let out another furious roar. Seeing that things were going badly, Xiao Yu flapped the Purple Cloud Wings behind him and shot rapidly toward the cave exit. The young Purple Crystal Winged Lion King let out an explosive roar, purple light blazing from its wings as its speed suddenly surged and it chased after Xiao Yu!

Without looking back, Xiao Yu flew out of the cave and glanced at the battle overhead. High in the sky, Yun Yun's fight with the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King had also reached its most intense stage.

A stream of purple flame shot from the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's spiraling horn. The scorching heat made the entire world feel as though it had been thrown into a furnace. Yun Yun frowned slightly and formed a strange hand seal before her with her slender hand, shouting softly, "Wind Push Stance!"

A violent cyan gale abruptly surged forth and howled outward. The fierce wind blew the purple flames back, stopping them directly.

After flying out of the cave, Xiao Yu continuously weaved through the forest, trying to shake off the young Purple Crystal Winged Lion King behind him. But the young beast was also incredibly fast, and he could not shake it off. Moreover, their figures had been spotted by the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King in the sky.

"Human, you dare harm my son!" As it spoke, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King spat out a wave of energy that shot toward Xiao Yu. Xiao Yu flew at high speed without looking back, trying to evade the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's attack. Yun Yun's expression changed. She raised the cyan sword in her hand as cyan Dou Qi rapidly condensed around it, then she shouted, "Rift Wind Dance!"

The space before Yun Yun rippled faintly. Countless dark cyan Wind Blades, each dozens of meters long, appeared out of thin air. They intertwined into a cylindrical formation, spinning like a whirlwind as they shot forward at high speed.

Boom!

The two attacks collided in midair with a deafening explosion. The overwhelming wind pressure forced the surrounding trees to bend nearly to the ground. Borrowing the force of the wind, Xiao Yu activated the Moon Chase Movement Technique again, and his body shot forward, faintly showing signs of shaking off the young Purple Crystal Winged Lion King!

This sight completely enraged the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King. It let out an angry roar. "Cunning humans, I will kill you all!"

The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King then threw back its head and howled. The purple radiance around its body grew increasingly intense, and an immensely powerful pressure spread out. Magical beasts within a hundred miles could not help but prostrate themselves on the ground, their bodies trembling as they feared the king in the sky would vent its fury on them!

The enormous energy surging between heaven and earth made Yun Yun frown. A powerful sense of danger rose within her heart. Wild winds began to howl around the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King as purple light enveloped the entire world. After brewing for a long while, it suddenly compressed into a dark purple beam no more than half a foot wide!

"Purple Crystal Seal!" The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's low roar echoed through the valley.

Yun Yun moved at that very moment. The cyan longsword in her hand trembled sharply, and a tiny, profound ray of light instantly shot forth. Even space itself quivered slightly. Yun Yun shouted softly, "Extreme Wind: Meteor Kill!"
