Yun Yun in Danger, Rescue Offered (Seeking Monthly Votes, Seeking Follow-up Reads)

"What on earth is wrong with this Amethyst Winged Lion King? Why is it so hot-headed?"

"Isn't it just a matter of asking for a few Purple Spirit Crystals?"

"If you don't want to give them, then don't, but why resort to violence the moment we meet?"

Yun Yun manipulated her cyan battle wings to dodge a ball of purple fire, her exquisite face filled with dissatisfaction.

The only reason she had come to the Magical Beast Mountain Range today was to beg the Amethyst Winged Lion King for some Purple Spirit Crystals to use for her disappointing disciple.

At the mention of Nalan Yanran, a flash of helplessness crossed Yun Yun's beautiful eyes.

She had thought the three-year agreement Nalan Yanran made with that young master of the Xiao Clan was a sure victory, but recently, she had heard rumors that the young master had actually begun to cultivate again.

Furthermore, his cultivation speed was terrifying; he had already reached the eighth stage of Dou Zhi Qi.

In six months at most, or perhaps just a few, he would break through to the Dou Zhe realm.

Such a frightening rate of progress left even her, his teacher, feeling astonished.

If he continued to cultivate at this pace, her Misty Cloud Sect might truly face defeat in the duel three years from now.

To protect the reputation of the Misty Cloud Sect and ensure her disciple's victory, she had traveled thousands of miles into the depths of the Magical Beast Mountain Range to seek out the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

She had assumed this would be a very easy trip.

Yet, unexpectedly, the Amethyst Winged Lion King acted as if it had swallowed gunpowder; the moment it saw her, it started attacking without a word.

As it fought, it roared and cursed, muttering nonsensical things like, "Damn human, you bully beasts too far..."

It left her completely bewildered.

"Lion King, since you are so stubborn, then I am determined to have these Purple Spirit Crystals today!" Since the other party had struck first, Yun Yun couldn't be bothered with pleasantries.

A cold glint flashed in her eyes as she swung her long cyan sword.

In an instant, a cyan tornado appeared in the sky. It grew with the wind, expanding to several dozen meters in just a few breaths.

Between heaven and earth, the terrifying cyan tornado howled and swept forward, grinding everything on the ground in its path into dust.

"Hmph! If you want to fight, then fight—enough with the chatter!" The Amethyst Winged Lion King exhaled a breath of foul air, its tone cold as frost, as scorching flames erupted from its body.

The pillar of fire collided with the cyan tornado in the sky.

BOOM!

Violent winds swept out, and terrifying energy rippled in all directions.

At the center of the storm stood a graceful figure. Her curves were elegant, her skin like congealed fat, and her long, waterfall-like hair danced in the wind. Surrounded by brilliant cyan Dou Qi, she looked like a celestial maiden, her battle wings spread wide, peerless and unmatched.

"Damn human girl, your strength is decent, but it's a pity your cultivation is too low..." After a brief exchange, the Amethyst Winged Lion King had already gauged her level.

The human woman before it was merely a low-level Dou Huang.

She was not even in the same league as the human man who had used it as a punching bag.

The Amethyst Winged Lion King had a premonition that it could finally reclaim its kingly dignity from this human woman.

"Damn it, I knew it! How could I, a dignified Tier 6 high-level magical beast, not be a match for a human?!"

"It must have been that man's fault!" the Amethyst Winged Lion King thought to itself.

After their brief probing, the human and the beast erupted into a fierce battle.

The fight raged from noon until afternoon, and from afternoon until dusk.

In the end, as expected, it concluded with Yun Yun's defeat.

In the original story, she was no match for the Amethyst Winged Lion King; she had been severely wounded and had her cultivation sealed by it, let alone now.

Over this past month, Xiao Ze's strength had improved.

The Amethyst Winged Lion King's strength had not remained stagnant either.

It was far more powerful now than before; let alone a mere three-star Dou Huang, even a peak Dou Huang would find it a formidable opponent if they entered its territory!

"Refreshing! So refreshing!"

"This is what it means to be a beast! This is the majesty of a Tier 6 magical beast!"

"It's all that damn human man's fault. He ruined my perception of the world. A monster like him shouldn't exist in this world!"

After giving the human woman a sound thrashing, the Amethyst Winged Lion King regained its confidence.

It felt as though the former overlord of the Magical Beast Mountain Range had returned!

It, the Amethyst Winged Lion King, was once again that mighty and imposing beast!

"Hmph! Damn human girl, you have lost. Now, shall I end your life?" After venting the anger in its heart, the Amethyst Winged Lion King walked with light, quick steps toward the severely wounded Yun Yun.

It raised a giant claw, and a mass of scorching purple flames quickly swirled around it. The raging fire, which seemed capable of burning everything in existence, radiated a terrifying heat.

"In exchange for you giving this King such a good time, I will allow you to speak your last words!"

On the ground.

"Cough, cough!" Yun Yun's blood surged, and she spat out a mouthful of crimson.

She looked utterly disheveled now; her cyan robes were covered in claw marks, her cheeks were deathly pale, and most notably, five terrifying lacerations marred the skin beneath her jade-like neck.

Blood had stained her cyan robes a deep, vivid red.

Fortunately, the Sea Heart Inner Armor had protected her chest, absorbing the brunt of that horrific strike; otherwise, she would have been dead or crippled by that single blow.

Damn it, since when did this Amethyst Winged Lion King possess such terrifying strength?

With power like this, even a peak Dou Huang might not be guaranteed a win, right?

Is it possible that I, Yun Yun, am destined to be buried here in the Magical Beast Mountain Range today?

Yun Yun's face was pale, her breathing shallow. As she watched the Amethyst Winged Lion King draw closer, a sense of despair welled up within her. She wanted to put up one final resistance, but intense pain immediately contorted her features.

She didn't even have the strength left to grip her longsword.

"No last words?" The Amethyst Winged Lion King's expression was icy. "In that case, then die!"

With that, it raised its sharp, massive claw and stomped down fiercely toward Yun Yun.

The strike was heavy and powerful.

If the already severely wounded Yun Yun were to be struck, she would undoubtedly die on the spot!

Yun Yun closed her eyes in despair, waiting for death to arrive.

But just then.

A crisp, clear cough suddenly echoed through the mountain range.

"Cough, cough. Little lion, what are you doing here?"

Silence.

A deathly, suffocating silence.

Yun Yun opened her eyes to find the giant claw hovering just thirty feet above her head. The once ferocious and terrifying Amethyst Winged Lion King was now frozen in place, unable to move a muscle.

In those bloodthirsty beast eyes, a light of pure terror flickered.

Its massive, hill-like body was trembling violently, as if it had encountered something that filled it with extreme dread.

What is happening?

Who saved me?

Yun Yun used her last ounce of strength to stand up from the ground.

She looked toward the direction of the voice and discovered a figure appearing abruptly in the sky not far away, as if he had been there all along. Clad in fluttering cyan robes, he looked heroic and extraordinary!

An expert!

This must also be an expert at the Dou Huang level!

With just one glance, Yun Yun was deeply shaken by the vast, ocean-like aura radiating from the man. It took her a full dozen breaths before she could finally snap back to her senses.

She gazed at his handsome face and whispered weakly:

Who is this person?

Why have I never seen him in the Gama Empire before?
