Wind Pushing Stance!
Xiao Lei was just about to release the Dou Ling Puppet to take the damage for him when a clear, frosty shout suddenly rang out beside his ear.
The instant the voice fell, a violent cyan whirlwind abruptly appeared several meters in front of Xiao Lei. It howled forward, blocking the purple flames spewed by the Amethyst Winged Lion King!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The purple flames collided with the cyan whirlwind, erupting in a series of ear-splitting explosions.
Then, under the whirlwind's savage rotation, the overwhelming purple flames were flung away.
Seizing the opportunity, Xiao Lei immediately unleashed the Flying Dou Technique, Purple Cloud Wings.
A pair of black eagle wings suddenly sprang from his back. With a flap of those wings, he borrowed the faint lift to hurriedly fly toward Yun Yun.
Pfft!
Though Xiao Lei had reacted swiftly enough, he could not avoid being shaken by the aftershocks of Yun Yun and the Amethyst Winged Lion King's clash. His blood churned within him, and he could not help spitting out a mouthful of blood.
At the same time, the cyan wings behind Yun Yun trembled slightly as she hurriedly caught Xiao Lei, her body rapidly retreating through the air.
As she retreated, the strange longsword in Yun Yun's hand traced an eerie arc. In an instant, the blade suddenly shuddered, and her frosty shout rang once more from her rosy lips. "Wind's Extreme: Falling Kill!"
Hearing Yun Yun's sharp cry, the Amethyst Winged Lion King in the sky immediately let out a solemn roar. Its body flashed to the cave entrance, its massive head swaying slightly as purple radiance once again filled the heavens!
A few days ago, the horn atop the Amethyst Winged Lion King's head had been severed by this very move of Yun Yun's. It remembered it vividly and feared it deeply!
However, just as the Amethyst Winged Lion King prepared to use its full strength to withstand Yun Yun's terrifying attack, Yun Yun flapped her wings. She swiftly stored her longsword in her Storage Ring, turned around, and with several rapid flashes, vanished beyond the horizon with Xiao Lei.
"Cunning humans! This King will never rest until you are dead!"
Only when Yun Yun suddenly turned and fled did the Amethyst Winged Lion King realize it had been tricked. The purple radiance over its body slowly faded as it roared furiously, its voice echoing through the mountain range for a long while.
After a brief hesitation, it did not choose to pursue them. Instead, it swiftly returned to the depths of the cave.
When the Amethyst Winged Lion King saw its son grievously wounded, another furious roar resounded between heaven and earth!
Ignoring the faint roars behind them, Yun Yun held Xiao Lei and flew at breakneck speed toward the outskirts of the Demon Beast Mountain Range.
Xiao Lei took the opportunity to wrap his arms around Yun Yun, enjoying the warmth of the beauty's embrace.
Suddenly, the system's familiar voice sounded in Xiao Lei's mind once more.
Ding! You touched Yun Yun and obtained the Azure Heaven Overlord Body!
Azure Heaven Overlord Body?
That reward was pretty impressive!
Upon hearing the reward, Xiao Lei could not help feeling a surge of delight. His arms around Yun Yun tightened slightly as well.
Naturally, Yun Yun had no idea what was going through Xiao Lei's mind, nor did she have the leisure to care.
Only after they had left the depths of the Demon Beast Mountain Range did she find a concealed place and slowly descend.
"Are you all right?" After landing, Yun Yun supported Xiao Lei and asked gently.
"It's nothing serious. I just need to regulate my breathing and recover for a while." Xiao Lei shook his head slightly, then said, "Here is the Purple Spirit Crystal you wanted."
As he spoke, Xiao Lei willed it into existence, took out the Purple Spirit Crystal, and handed it to Yun Yun.
"Thank you." Yun Yun reached out, accepted the Purple Spirit Crystal, and thanked Xiao Lei.
"You're welcome. Guard me for now while I regulate my breathing," Xiao Lei said.
With that, Xiao Lei sat cross-legged on the ground, formed a hand seal, and began circulating his cultivation method to regulate his breathing and recover.
As she watched Xiao Lei meditate with his eyes shut, his brows tightly furrowed in pain, Yun Yun could not help feeling a pang of heartache.
After pondering for a moment, she bit her silver teeth and suddenly flashed behind Xiao Lei. Her jade-like hand extended flatly, gently pressing against his back.
Yun Yun's Dou Qi was naturally not something Xiao Lei's mere Dou Shi-level Dou Qi could compare to.
Under her control, the Wind Attribute Dou Qi that had just entered Xiao Lei's body swiftly occupied all his meridians, forcefully driving Xiao Lei's Purple Dou Qi into the qi vortex in his lower abdomen.
After properly settling Xiao Lei's origin Dou Qi, Yun Yun calmed her mind and began tending to his injured meridians.
Her originally incomparably powerful Dou Qi had now become gentle and pliant. Under Yun Yun's control, it flowed through Xiao Lei's meridians, continuously repairing and strengthening them.
A quarter of an hour later, sensing that Xiao Lei's internal injuries had completely healed, Yun Yun slowly withdrew her jade-like hand from his back.
Suddenly, Yun Yun struck as fast as lightning, tapping the back of Xiao Lei's neck with her jade-like finger. Xiao Lei, who had been about to open his eyes, immediately fell into a deep sleep.
Supporting Xiao Lei's body with her jade-like hand, Yun Yun gently laid him flat upon the grass. She rose to her feet, lightly biting her red lips as her gaze cautiously swept the surroundings.
Then, a blush appeared on her lovely face. Her jade fingers slowly undid her plain dress, and as they moved, a perfect, exquisite body seemingly carved from flawless jade was revealed amid the dense forest.
Gracefully removing her clothing, Yun Yun gently took off the pale-blue metal inner armor that shimmered with an unusual light. Then, with a hint of shyness, she quickly dressed herself again.
Holding the metal inner armor in both hands, Yun Yun carefully folded it and placed it beside Xiao Lei, whispering softly:
"This Heart of the Sea Inner Armor was made from a strange metal produced within the belly of a sixth-tier magical beast, the Three-Tailed Blue Whale. Its defensive power depends on its owner's strength."
"Although you are only a Dou Shi right now, even ordinary Da Dou Shi attacks will find it difficult to harm you. You... take care of yourself."
After placing down the Heart of the Sea Inner Armor, Yun Yun stared at the handsome young man's face. A helpless smile appeared on her lovely face.
"I cultivated alone for so many years, yet I never expected to develop feelings for a young man... Sigh, if fate allows, we will meet again someday..."
With a soft sigh, Yun Yun suddenly bent down and lightly pressed her lips to Xiao Lei's forehead. She looked at him once more, reluctant to part, then rose. Her cyan wings fluttered slightly behind her as she drifted away with graceful elegance.
Not long after Yun Yun departed, Xiao Lei slowly opened his eyes. His gaze swept over the area, and he soon spotted the neatly folded Heart of the Sea Inner Armor.
Reaching out to take the inner armor into his hand, Xiao Lei discovered that it still carried a faint body fragrance and lingering warmth.
"We'll meet again," Xiao Lei murmured as he put away the inner armor.
Xiao Lei sensed his surroundings and found the area relatively safe. With a thought, he released the Dou Ling Puppet to stand guard nearby.
"Use the Azure Heaven Overlord Body reward!"
Xiao Lei then commanded the system inwardly.
The next instant, Xiao Lei felt a mystical change take place within his body.
His flesh rapidly strengthened, his meridians continuously hardened, his blood suddenly boiled, and even his hair seemed to become many times tougher!
Xiao Lei clenched his fist and felt his strength increase by more than tenfold!
Xiao Lei had a feeling that, against someone of the same realm, without even using a Dou Technique, he could blow his opponent apart with a single punch!
Not bad. Next, it was time to break through to Da Dou Shi...
After sensing the changes within his body, Xiao Lei nodded in satisfaction. He then took out a jade bottle containing the Coexisting Purple Crystal Source.
For the sake of caution, Xiao Lei only poured a single drop of the Purple Crystal Source into his mouth. He then swiftly put away the jade bottle, fully circulated his cultivation method, and began refining and absorbing the energy brought by the Purple Crystal Source.
