Yun Yun Is Injured Again

Roar!

The Amethyst Winged Lion King let out an enraged roar and spat a stream of purple flames.

The flames transformed into a ferocious fire dragon and lunged at Xiao Yan within the passage.

The narrow passage was filled by the enormous fire dragon, which mercilessly swallowed Xiao Yan whole.

"Ultimate Wind Art, Falling Kill!"

Yun Yun had pursued the Lion King all the way. Desperate to protect its cub, it flew at tremendous speed. Even after pushing her speed to the limit, Yun Yun could barely keep up.

The moment she caught up, she saw Xiao Yan swallowed by the Lion King's purple fire dragon.

For some reason, Yun Yun's heart ached faintly. The longsword in her hand trembled as the Dou Qi within her, already far from abundant, surged out wildly.

An extremely thin ray containing terrifying energy shot rapidly from the tip of her sword.

The Amethyst Winged Lion King sensed that the ray was enough to kill it and burst forth with its utmost speed to evade.

Yet the terrifying ray still struck one of its forelegs. Its thick, powerful foreleg instantly exploded into a cloud of blood mist.

Roar—

The Amethyst Winged Lion King released an earth-shaking howl of agony.

The terrifying sound waves shook the surrounding mountains until they exploded. Even the sharp peaks of several mountains were shattered outright.

Yun Yun stood at the center of the sound waves, her head spinning from the impact.

At that moment, the Amethyst Winged Lion King's enormous body flashed into view. Its remaining foreleg furiously slammed down at her.

Yun Yun rapidly formed seals with both hands, and layers of azure wind shields appeared before her.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The Amethyst Winged Lion King's massive paw shattered one wind shield after another as if they were glass, before finally striking Yun Yun in the chest.

Yun Yun grunted, spraying a mouthful of blood. Her entire body flew backward like a broken doll.

"Ultimate Wind Art, Setting Sun Radiance!"

A crisp, low cry rang out. Yun Yun, who was flying backward, raised her longsword again as streaks of shimmering light gathered along its blade.

Countless sword lights shot forth, twisting toward the Amethyst Winged Lion King in the air.

"No—"

Accompanied by the Amethyst Winged Lion King's desperate cry of pain, countless sword lights pierced through it. Its enormous body exploded, turning into a sky full of blood mist.

Yun Yun's body drifted through the air like a kite with its string cut.

Countless magical beasts rushed toward Yun Yun in a frenzy. The flesh of such a powerful human was of enormous benefit to their evolution.

A flying magical beast suddenly appeared, extending its claws toward Yun Yun's body.

Just then, a black shadow shot over from afar and struck the flying magical beast.

It let out a miserable cry and crashed heavily to the ground. Half its body had been blown apart, and it was clearly dead.

After knocking down the magical beast, the black shadow fell to the ground and happened to strike a running Second-Order Magical Beast, crushing it to death.

The black shadow revealed its true form. It was a broad, massive ruler.

In the air, following the ruler's blow that sent the flying magical beast crashing down, a purple figure flew over swiftly and caught Yun Yun just before she hit the ground.

At the same time, dozens of magical beasts pounced from every direction.

These magical beasts were all Third-Order or above, and several were even Fifth-Order Magical Beasts.

Faced with so many magical beasts, even an uninjured Yun Yun could only avoid their edge.

Space flickered, and the purple figure vanished into thin air while holding Yun Yun.

Dozens of magical beasts crashed into one another, and several weaker Third-Order Magical Beasts died on the spot.

In one corner of the Portable Space, Xiao Yan appeared out of thin air while carrying Yun Yun.

Along with a beastly roar.

It was a Fourth-Order Magical Beast. The instant Xiao Yan opened the Portable Space, it had followed him inside.

Though the magical beast did not understand what had happened, it still pounced at Xiao Yan when it saw him.

"Wretched beast, now that you're in my space, you don't get to run wild."

"Great Dissection Art!"

Xiao Yan snorted coldly. An extremely thin black line appeared out of nowhere and sliced down at the charging magical beast.

The Fourth-Order Magical Beast was cut in half down the middle and fell heavily to the ground.

Not a single drop of blood flowed from its wound.

"Big Brother Xiao Yan."

Little Fairy heard the beast's roar and hurried over. From a distance, she saw the magical beast had been cut in half.

Xiao Yan carried Yun Yun as he flew toward Little Fairy.

"Sister Yun Zhi is hurt again. Hurry and carry her to the villa."

Seeing Yun Yun lying there with her eyes closed and barely clinging to life, Little Fairy hurriedly said.

Xiao Yan shook his head. If they went to the villa, Nalan Yanran would see them.

"Right here."

Xiao Yan spoke, then built a crude stone house. Carrying Yun Yun inside, he placed her on a stone bed.

Little Fairy did not care that Xiao Yan was present and immediately began examining Yun Yun's wounds.

Yun Yun's injuries this time were even more serious than before. Her chest was caved in, her ribs were broken, and the wound had turned purplish-black.

Most seriously, a stream of Purple Flame rampaged through Yun Yun's body, destroying her flesh and meridians.

Little Fairy worked for over an hour and treated Yun Yun's external wounds, but she had no way at all to deal with the Purple Flame inside her body.

"Teacher, what should we do?"

Xiao Yan frowned and asked.

Medicine Elder, floating in the air, pondered for a moment before saying:

"To expel the Purple Flame, the best way is for her to wake up herself, mobilize her Dou Qi, and slowly force the Purple Flame out of her body."

"But without expelling the Purple Flame, she cannot possibly wake up. It's a dead loop. This is difficult."

Even Medicine Elder was helpless for the moment.

"Can't I pour my Dou Qi into her body and drive out the Purple Flame?"

Xiao Yan asked.

Medicine Elder shook his head. "No."

"First, your Dou Qi is an external force. If she were conscious, she could accept your Dou Qi with her will. But she is unconscious now, so her body will reject your Dou Qi."

"Second, the energy level of your Dou Qi is too low. It is no match for the Purple Flame. If you forcibly expel it, you would be using her body as a battlefield, which would worsen her injuries."

To expel the Purple Flame, the energy level of the Dou Qi had to be higher than the Purple Flame's, capable of suppressing and enveloping it before slowly forcing it out of her body.

"Teacher, can't you possess me?"

Xiao Yan asked in confusion.

Medicine Elder explained, "I do not possess Dou Qi myself. Even if I possess you, I would still be using your Dou Qi. It would be useless."

"When I possess you, I can only raise your combat strength. I cannot raise the energy level of your Dou Qi."

Medicine Elder fought in three ways: through his powerful soul force, by using soul force to draw upon the energy of heaven and earth to attack, and through the Bone Chilling Flame.

All three methods consumed his soul force. Once too much soul force was depleted, he would fall into slumber.

"Then is there no way?"

Xiao Yan's brows were tightly furrowed. Yun Yun had been injured by the Amethyst Winged Lion King while saving him. He could not simply stand by and watch her die.

In truth, the Lion King's Purple Flame attack could not have harmed him at all. The instant the fire dragon reached him, he had hidden inside the space.

He could not understand why this woman had been so foolish. Launching an all-out attack from so close had destroyed one of the Amethyst Winged Lion King's forelegs, but it had also exposed her to danger and allowed the Amethyst Winged Lion King to close in on her.

However, as a Dou Emperor, Yun Yun had still used her last remaining Dou Qi to kill the Amethyst Winged Lion King under those circumstances.

"There is. Find a Dou Emperor, or at the very least a Dou King. But you must be quick," Medicine Elder said.

Where would Xiao Yan know any Dou Kings or Dou Emperors? Was he supposed to go to the Cloud Mist Sect and find Yun Shan?

With his cautious nature, he had no desire to expose himself within the Cloud Mist Sect's sphere of influence. There were protectors from Cloud Hall there.

Besides, there might not be enough time. Even if he flew at full speed, it would take at least four or five days to travel from the depths of the Magic Beast Mountain Range to the Cloud Mist Sect.

"There is another method: Dual Cultivation."

At that moment, Medicine Elder glanced at Xiao Yan, then at Little Fairy, then at the unconscious Yun Yun, and spoke softly.

Hearing this, Xiao Yan immediately recalled his experience of Dual Cultivation with Little Fairy. His soul perception could enter her dantian and help her condense a cyclone.

During Dual Cultivation, the two became one, so neither body would reject the other's Dou Qi or soul perception.

If that were the case, he could enter Yun Yun's cyclone, mobilize the Dou Qi within it, and expel the poisonous fire from her body.

"Xian'er, I..."

Xiao Yan wanted to save Yun Yun, but he found it difficult to speak in front of Little Fairy.
