Battle, Amethyst Winged Lion King!

The Magical Beast Mountain Range was quiet in the early morning.

Occasional beast cries could be heard, filled with laziness.

Apparently, those magical beasts did not want to get up so early either.

Entering the Magical Beast Mountain Range at this time was relatively the safest, but if you were unlucky enough to encounter a magical beast with morning grumpiness, then you could only blame your own bad luck.

But that was only for most people, who had to proceed cautiously.

As for Wu Changqing and Yun Yun, they flew directly toward the depths of the Magical Beast Mountain Range.

Even when they encountered some magical beasts along the way, the creatures were badly frightened upon sensing the auras of the two of them.

Quite a few magical beasts were even so terrified that they immediately prostrated themselves on the ground.

Dou Emperors!

To them, such beings were impossibly distant existences, ones they could only look up to. They did not dare harbor the slightest thought of overstepping.

Otherwise, if they accidentally provoked these two lords, even ten lives would not be enough to lose!

However, the fear of these magical beasts did not mean that every magical beast would fear them.

As the two arrived in the depths of the Magical Beast Mountain Range, they soon found their target—the Amethyst Winged Lion King!

"Humans, this is not a place you should be!"

The Amethyst Winged Lion King looked at the two of them, displeasure filling its enormous beastly eyes.

It could sense that both Wu Changqing and Yun Yun were Dou Emperors.

But as the overlord of the Magical Beast Mountain Range, the Amethyst Winged Lion King was likewise a sixth-tier magical beast, comparable to a human Dou Emperor.

Humans and magical beasts had been enemies since ancient times.

Moreover, as the sole master of this place, the Amethyst Winged Lion King welcomed no human experts here!

Not to mention that whenever humans came here, they were usually up to no good.

"Lion King, we have come this time to borrow some of your Purple Spirit Crystal," Yun Yun said.

At the same time, she remained on guard.

Even she did not dare relax in the slightest when facing a magical beast overlord of the Amethyst Winged Lion King's caliber.

"Purple Spirit Crystal? Our Amethyst Winged Lion King Clan can only shed one piece every twenty years. Do you think you can simply ask for it and get it?"

"Besides, even if I had Purple Spirit Crystal, I would not give it to humans." The Amethyst Winged Lion King snorted coldly.

Seeing how decisively it refused, Yun Yun could only reveal her bargaining chip. "If the Lion King is willing to give us a piece of Purple Spirit Crystal, I am willing to exchange something of equal value for it."

"High-tier cultivation techniques, combat skills, medicinal pills—anything is negotiable."

Against an opponent of this level, it was naturally best if they could avoid fighting.

"An exchange? Hahaha, fine. You humans truly are capable. You can create many things that we magical beasts cannot."

"How about this? I do not ask for much. I am currently at the stage of taking human form. As long as you can produce a Transformation Pill, I will give you the Purple Spirit Crystal," the Amethyst Winged Lion King said.

They said lions opened their mouths wide when making demands. It seemed that saying was true.

This lion's asking price was indeed quite high.

A Transformation Pill was a seventh-grade medicinal pill.

Forget Yun Yun—even the entire Misty Cloud Sect, or even the whole Jia Ma Empire, had no one who could produce one.

Even if Yun Yun had one, she would have given it to Wu Changqing long ago. How could she still have one now?

At this, Yun Yun frowned slightly and said, "I'm sorry, but I doubt many people in the entire Jia Ma Empire could produce something like a Transformation Pill."

"However, I can offer a high-tier Xuan-class combat skill and three fifth-tier magic cores in exchange. What does the Lion King think?"

Yun Yun brought out her greatest bargaining chips.

"If you cannot produce a Transformation Pill, then get lost." The Amethyst Winged Lion King snorted coldly.

It had never intended to have a proper conversation with Yun Yun.

What was there to discuss with humans?

"Since that is the case, then I can only offend you."

Seeing that negotiations had failed, Yun Yun stopped being polite.

She took a longsword from her storage ring—this was the second sword she had found afterward.

After Wu Changqing took human form, she could no longer use him at all times.

For convenience, Yun Yun had found another sword.

But now that Wu Changqing was fighting alongside her, they were not without a chance even against the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

"Hmph, I knew you humans were up to no good. Come, then!"

The Amethyst Winged Lion King snorted as purple flames began to rise all over its body.

"Let's move."

Wu Changqing gripped his longsword and was the first to fly toward the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

Yun Yun followed close behind, attacking from both sides.

"Formless Phantom Sword!"

Wu Changqing opened with a killing move, conjuring five phantom sword energies around himself that shot toward the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Relying on the hard crystal plates covering its body, the Amethyst Winged Lion King forcibly blocked every attack.

The sword energies merely left marks of varying depths on its body, unable to inflict any substantial damage.

But before the Amethyst Winged Lion King could strike back, Yun Yun raised her slender hand and created an enormous dark-cyan tornado before her, which slammed fiercely into it.

The Amethyst Winged Lion King was unwilling to be outdone. A vast amount of purple flame surged from the crystal plates on its body, transforming into an equally massive pillar of fire that collided with Yun Yun's wind tornado, erupting with astonishing force.

Wu Changqing, standing nearby, showed no mercy either. He raised his sword and pointed it forward.

"Wind's Extremity: Blossoming Glory Annihilation!"

A dazzling expanse of sword light flashed into existence in an instant, like the light of fleeting splendor vanishing away, carrying a deep loneliness as it struck the Amethyst Winged Lion King with a thunderous blast.

"Wind's Extreme: Sunset Radiance!"

Seeing this, Yun Yun also unleashed a dazzling wave of sword light. Its momentum was somewhat weaker than Wu Changqing's combat skill, but its power was still not to be underestimated.

With two great killing moves descending upon it, the Amethyst Winged Lion King did not dare be careless in the slightest.

Its body flickered between light and shadow as purple flames gathered in its mouth before it suddenly spewed them forth.

Flames surged into the heavens. The terrifying heat even burned the forest below into ashes.

The Amethyst Winged Lion King was immensely powerful, likely possessing strength comparable to a four- or five-star human Dou Emperor.

Moreover, magical beasts naturally possessed formidable physical bodies and astonishing defenses.

Facing Wu Changqing and Yun Yun's attacks, it was still fully capable of handling them for the time being.

But as time gradually passed, it began to show signs of fatigue.

After all, it was fighting two against one. The pressure was immense!

There were also some fifth-tier magical beasts in the Magical Beast Mountain Range, but upon seeing this battle, they could only watch from the side. They could not intervene at all.

A battle of this level was simply too terrifying!

"Roar! Humans, I'll fight you to the death!"

The Amethyst Winged Lion King roared. The horn on its head suddenly erupted with dazzling purple radiance, shrouding half the sky.

A great killing move had arrived!

Yun Yun took the initiative and flew forward with her sword in hand.

"Whirling Dance of Rending Wind!"

Countless enormous wind blades formed and collided with the Amethyst Winged Lion King's seal.

Boom!

With a deafening blast, the two sides' killing moves collided.

But Yun Yun's combat skill was broken apart at once, and the beam from the Amethyst Seal plunged into her body.

At the same time, the Amethyst Winged Lion King's enormous body flashed over at high speed, and one claw struck Yun Yun in the chest...
