"An seal?" Sensing the energy within the deep purple pillar of light, Yao Lao, hiding in the distance, spoke in surprise.

"A seal?" Xiao Yan hurriedly asked.

"Some unusual high-level magical beasts are born knowing sealing skills. I just didn't expect the Amethyst Winged Lion King to know one as well. It seems this woman is about to suffer a huge loss."

Yao Lao spoke slowly.

"So they're going to lose?" Xiao Yan asked instinctively.

"Not necessarily." Yao Lao slowly shook his head. "That young man over there must be the one I sensed in Wutan City before."

"With such domineering sword intent, I thought he would be an old man. I never expected him to be so young."

"With him here, the outcome is still uncertain."

As Yao Lao's voice fell, the deep purple pillar of light in the sky shot forward at lightning speed.

The purple pillar was terrifyingly fast, almost seeming to flicker through space.

With only two flashes, it appeared not far from Yun Yun.

"Amethyst Seal!"

As purple light flickered, the Amethyst Winged Lion King's deep roar echoed endlessly through the valley.

The instant the deep purple pillar appeared, Yun Yun's pretty face changed slightly.

The powerful Dou Technique she had been gathering in her hand was unleashed as Dou Qi surged through her body.

"Wind-Splitting Whirlwind Dance!"

As Yun Yun's soft cry fell.

The space before her rippled faintly.

Countless dark green wind blades, each over a dozen zhang long, appeared from thin air. They intertwined with one another like a cylindrical mass covered in blades, spinning at high speed as they charged forward.

Boom!

Even the air twisted slightly wherever the purple pillar and the whirlwind of blades passed!

In an instant, they collided heavily with the terrifying force of crashing meteors.

The purple pillar and the wind blades had barely collided before the wind blades swiftly fell into a disadvantage.

Within moments, the wind blades began to dissipate frantically. In the end, they exploded with a bang, turning into a ring of fierce wind that spread into the distance.

The purple pillar, however, had only dimmed slightly!

After destroying the whirlwind blades, the purple pillar tore through more than a dozen wind shields Yun Yun had hastily erected and finally entered her body.

Yun Yun immediately let out a muffled groan, her pretty face turning several shades paler.

Seeing this, how could the Amethyst Winged Lion King possibly miss such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?

His enormous body instantly flashed before Yun Yun. Extending a claw, he viciously struck at her flawless body!

Yun Yun took a deep breath and forced herself to mobilize her Dou Qi. The green wings on her back shook, shifting her body sideways, and she narrowly avoided the Amethyst Winged Lion King's strike.

However, she was still disturbed by the fierce wind carried by his claw, and her body trembled repeatedly.

The Amethyst Winged Lion King roared wildly. How could he be willing to let her go?

Another claw came down, taking advantage of Yun Yun's still-unsteady figure. Carrying incomparably savage force, it slammed heavily into her chest!

A somewhat shrill metallic creak rang out. Yun Yun suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and her cheeks turned pale.

"Hm?" The Amethyst Winged Lion King gave a surprised cry. "You woman truly have a wealthy collection. You actually possess such a treasure!"

However, just as he was about to reach out again and end Yun Yun's life completely, a hair-raising sensation suddenly rose from the depths of his heart.

The Amethyst Winged Lion King immediately stopped caring about Yun Yun and hastily retreated two steps before raising his head.

At once, he saw a scene he would never forget for the rest of his life.

High in the air hung an incomparably massive sword radiance.

It seemed as though the entire sky would be cleaved in two by that sword radiance.

Before it, the three enormous magical beasts appeared as small as kittens, utterly inconspicuous.

At that moment, the three magical beasts infamous throughout this region had turned around and were desperately fleeing outward.

Their panicked expressions were reflected with absolute clarity in the Amethyst Winged Lion King's eyes.

At this moment, they seemed as if they had been slowed down. No matter how they ran, they moved exceedingly slowly.

"No, the sword radiance is simply too fast."

At that moment, the Amethyst Winged Lion King suddenly understood.

As if to prove his thought, the sword radiance advanced and effortlessly passed through the bodies of the three magical beasts.

Farthest in the rear was the bear-like magical beast.

His body was the largest, so he was also the least agile.

Moreover, he had no foothold in the sky. He could only watch in despair as the sword radiance swept across his body.

Then, the despair in his eyes turned hollow.

The wolf-shaped magical beast and the gorilla-like magical beast reacted no differently from the bear-like magical beast.

The light in their eyes rapidly turned hollow as well.

Only after a long while did blood begin to flow from their bodies.

Three enormous auras vanished from the valley.

"Hiss." Xiao Yan stared at the scene, unable to stop his mouth from opening wide.

The power of that sword radiance was simply too immense.

He truly could not imagine that the young man's age seemed to be nearly the same as his own.

Yet their strength was worlds apart.

"Teacher, how does that young man compare to the prodigies of the great factions you encountered before?"

Xiao Yan could not help asking.

"There is no comparison." Yao Lao gave a bitter smile. "I truly cannot imagine that a place like the Jia Ma Empire could produce such a monstrous talent."

After effortlessly killing the three magical beasts, the force contained within the sword edge had not weakened in the slightest. It still sped toward the Amethyst Winged Lion King at an extreme pace.

The Amethyst Winged Lion King's expression changed drastically.

From that sword edge, he could clearly feel the threat of death.

Moreover, he had just used the Amethyst Seal, his greatest trump card. The energy in his body was depleted, and he could not use a second seal anytime soon.

But the sword radiance was already right before him!

Even if the Amethyst Winged Lion King tried to flee, he likely would not get very far.

Left with no choice, he lowered his head and aimed the red horn on his forehead at the incoming edge.

That was the hardest part of his entire body.

Its hardness even surpassed the amethyst covering his body!

A burst of purple light erupted from the red horn. The light gathered and completely enveloped it.

Just as he finished all this, the sword edge flashed over!

Swish!

Agonizing pain came from his horn.

In a single instant, that incomparably hard horn was severed by the sword radiance!
