Ji Changqing Intervenes, Instantly Kills the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, and the Blazing Banner Draws Yao Lao Over

Yun Yun noticed that something was off with the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King.

Her lovely face turned solemn as gusts of wind gradually began howling within several yards around her.

"Master, who do you think will win?"

Seeing both sides holding back their ultimate moves, Xiao Yan could not help asking curiously.

Yao Lao replied,

"Hard to say, but this Purple Crystal Winged Lion King actually knows sealing techniques."

"Sealing?!"

"Some unusual high-level magical beasts are born with sealing skills. This woman is likely to suffer for it."

As soon as Yao Lao finished speaking,

Yun Yun decided to strike first. Vast azure Dou Qi gathered before her into a great cloud.

The cloud then rapidly condensed and compressed, finally becoming a slender, profound azure beam that shot toward the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King.

"Extreme Wind Meteor Kill!"

Whoosh—

Where the azure beam passed, even space itself faintly trembled.

The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King felt a bone-chilling killing intent.

That azure beam was too fast!

In the blink of an eye, it had reached its face.

The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King only had time to lower its head slightly.

The azure beam struck the red horn atop its head.

A violent pain followed, and the red horn snapped apart instantly, its broken surface as smooth as a mirror.

"Roar, damn it! Damn it!"

The humiliation of having its horn broken nearly drove the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King mad.

It threw back its head and roared. The purple pillar of light became a streak, and after only a few flashes, appeared not far in front of Yun Yun.

"Purple Crystal Seal!"

Yun Yun's expression changed slightly.

She raised her delicate hand and instantly condensed dozens of wind shields before herself.

Yet the purple pillar smashed through the wind shields with unstoppable force and was about to strike Yun Yun.

"Azure Wave Dragon Girl Body!"

Yun Yun shouted sharply.

A layer of watery mist suddenly covered her graceful body.

At that instant, the air throughout the area seemed to become damp.

Mixed with the howl of the wind, the mist suddenly formed a waterspout several yards high.

When the waterspout dispersed, a slender phantom of a dragon girl had appeared behind Yun Yun.

Empowered by the Dragon Girl's true form, Yun Yun's body was covered in layer upon layer of dragon scales. Her beautiful face gained a trace of enchanting allure, and the faint sounds of howling winds and crashing waves seemed to accompany every gesture.

Facing the Purple Crystal Seal that had nearly reached her,

Yun Yun threw a punch. The dragon girl behind her made the same motion, carrying the power of storms and tsunamis as it collided head-on with the Purple Crystal Seal.

Boom! Boom! Boom—

Wind and rain raged across the area.

Before the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's wide, round eyes, the Purple Crystal Seal burst with a bang into specks of starlight.

Xiao Yan was left dumbfounded. He stammered, "M-Master, what Fighting Skill was that dragon girl? S-So strong!"

Yao Lao's voice became more serious.

"This is a Body Refining Fighting Skill. Such skills are extremely rare."

"That dragon girl phantom can summon wind and rain and influence the weather. It is likely at the peak of the Profound Tier... perhaps even Earth Tier."

"How could such a rare Fighting Skill appear in a backwater like the Jia Ma Empire?"

On another towering tree, Ji Changqing's tense body gradually relaxed.

"Mm, not bad. This Body Refining Fighting Skill can be considered an introduction."

"Lion King, are you convinced now?"

Looking at the terrified Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, Yun Yun quietly let out a breath of relief and thought, I have Senior to thank for tempering my Extreme Wind Meteor Kill and passing the Azure Wave Dragon Girl Body on to me.

Otherwise, I would have suffered badly against that seal.

The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King retreated several steps in panic.

A flash of resentment passed through its beastly eyes. After hesitating for a while, it shook its head.

A deep violet crystal fell out from its thick mane.

"Hmph, come take it yourself!"

Joy flashed through Yun Yun's clear eyes as she flew toward the Purple Spirit Crystal.

Seeing this, Yao Lao frowned.

"The Purple Crystal Lion Clan is prideful by nature. Especially after having its horn broken by an opponent, it is unlikely to compromise so easily."

"Sigh, Master is being too careless!"

Watching Yun Yun fly over so openly, Ji Changqing sighed and muttered, "Increasing strength alone is not enough. It seems I need to expose Master to the Dog Path as well. Sigh, the plan to cultivate Master has a long way to go."

Yun Yun reached out and grabbed the Purple Spirit Crystal, a faint smile appearing on her beautiful face.

"With the Purple Spirit Crystal, Changqing can begin refining pills."

As the thought arose in her heart, Yun Yun suddenly felt a piercing chill.

She abruptly looked up and saw a purple beam streaking through the air toward her.

"Not good!"

Yun Yun's expression changed drastically.

It was too close. She had no time to react at all.

"Hahahaha! You want this King's Purple Crystal Source? Keep dreaming!"

The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's enormous body was like a small mountain. As it charged, it stirred up a blood-scented gale and rushed toward Yun Yun.

"Roar—!"

"Die for this King!"

Despair appeared on Yun Yun's face. She could only watch helplessly as the enemy's attack was about to strike her.

Then, at that critical moment,

A minute azure beam, so faint it was almost invisible, shot out from somewhere unknown.

It was so fast that it seemed to transcend the limits of space itself. Wherever it passed, even space was sliced open into a thin black line.

The azure beam silently pierced through the Purple Crystal Seal.

Its momentum did not diminish as it shot toward the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's head. The beast's eyes suddenly widened, the life force throughout its body rapidly dissipated, and it fell from the sky.

Everything had happened too quickly!

So quickly that almost no one had time to react!

Xiao Yan stared blankly. The sudden turn of events made his scalp tingle.

Just moments ago, the human Dou Huang had been in danger. Yet in the blink of an eye, some unknown senior had intervened, instantly killed the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, and reversed the situation.

That kind of strength was simply terrifying!

"I was truly careless. There was actually another expert lying in wait nearby!"

Yao Lao no longer sounded as calm as usual, and his tone was filled with shock.

He wanted to spread out his soul power and investigate the other party's identity.

But when he remembered that this person could instantly kill a Dou Huang, and that he himself was only in a soul state, there was truly no need to provoke them.

"Xiao Yan, be careful. This person is very, very strong. In my current state, I fear I would have great difficulty dealing with them."

Hearing this, Xiao Yan sucked in a cold breath.

This was the first time he had heard his mysterious master speak with such a lack of confidence.

With Yao Chen's soul power attached to him, Xiao Yan pressed tightly against the tree trunk and concealed every trace of his presence.

Yun Yun had just recovered from her shock.

Looking down at the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King that had been killed in a single blow and fallen to the ground, intense lingering fear swept through her beautiful eyes.

Fortunately, someone had helped her. Otherwise, she truly would have been finished this time.

"The aura of that azure beam... was it Extreme Wind Meteor Kill?!"

"An Extreme Wind Meteor Kill even stronger than Master's!"

"Senior! It was Senior!"

Yun Yun stood in the air, looked around, then respectfully bowed and clasped her hands in gratitude. "Thank you, Senior, for saving me!"

The area fell silent for some time.

Then, a resplendent Blazing Banner flew into the air from somewhere unknown. After several flickers, it collected the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's soul.

Dozens of meters away, Xiao Yan cried out in terror, "M-Master, what's wrong?! D-Don't scare me!"

Something was very wrong with Yao Lao.

"W-What kind of treasure is this?!"

"So... so alluring. N-No, it's alluring to souls!"

Yao Lao detached himself from Xiao Yan's body and drifted toward the Blazing Banner with an intoxicated expression.
