Qing Yanjing Makes Her Move, Forming a Void Array to Suppress the Lion King

"You insolent brat!"

Seeing that Meng Chen, a mere Battle Master-level human, actually dared to provoke him—

He truly had a death wish!

"I'll kill you!"

The Lion King's rage shook the valley, the tremendous sound waves even shattering the mist in the air!

Quite a few low-level magical beasts had been secretly watching from nearby, only to have their seven orifices bleed from that roar!

When the Lion King raged, a million corpses floated.

Many magical beasts could only tuck their tails and flee toward the outskirts of the Magic Beast Mountains.

The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King was furious enough to spit fire.

That Purple Spirit Crystal and its companion Purple Crystal Source had been treasures he reserved for his offspring's advancement, yet they had now been completely looted.

"Human, you're courting death!"

A chill ran over Meng Chen's body as intense killing intent engulfed him.

"Whether I'm courting death isn't for you to decide!"

Meng Chen stepped forward and kicked the little lion cub in the rear again.

"Scram. Run farther away. Your father's about to fight me."

The little lion cub let out a howl, clutched its rear, and hurried away. It was truly afraid of Meng Chen now.

When the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King saw Meng Chen touch his cub, he completely abandoned his fight with Hai Bodong and charged toward Meng Chen, growing even more enraged.

"You dare touch my son!"

The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's purple crystal scales blazed with scarlet light. Fire-element Dou Qi surged into the sky, and with a flap of his enormous crystal wings, he transformed into an ultimate streak of light and pounced straight at Meng Chen!

The pressure on Hai Bodong, who had been fighting him, suddenly eased. Watching the Lion King's movements, his heart sank at once.

This was bad!

Judging by the Lion King's current state, he had clearly begun burning his own blood essence.

His combat strength had skyrocketed in a short time, already far surpassing that of an ordinary Five-Star Battle Emperor!

Hai Bodong knew Meng Chen was formidable, but if he took the full-force blow of a Five-Star Battle Emperor, he would undoubtedly be reduced to dust!

"Don't hurt him!"

Hai Bodong did not dare hesitate for even a moment. All the icy Dou Qi within him erupted at once. The air froze for an instant, then rapidly gathered along with his Dou Qi.

Clang!

An ice wall thirty meters tall instantly formed, standing firmly before the Lion King in an attempt to forcibly stop him.

Hai Bodong immediately moved as well, rushing toward Meng Chen.

But in the next instant, a bizarre scene unfolded.

Dazzling purple runes suddenly lit up across the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's body. The runes intertwined and traced Hai Bodong's Dou Qi toward him.

Hai Bodong was startled, but he could not evade them at all.

The instant the runes touched his body, they expanded into an enormous purple barrier.

In an instant, all of Hai Bodong's ice-sealing Dou techniques froze in midair. The cold air stagnated, unable to advance even an inch further.

Seeing this, the beast sneered.

"Human tricks!"

The purple barrier steadily enclosed Hai Bodong, and even seemed to be shrinking as it tried to bore into his body.

Buzz!

Hai Bodong's expression changed drastically. This beast actually knew a Dou technique!

"Damn it! What is this?"

Purple Crystal Seal!

This was the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's inherited ancient innate secret technique. He rarely used it, and once activated, it consumed more than half of his energy.

Seeing the barrier press straight toward his dantian, Hai Bodong could not spare attention for anything else. He hurriedly withdrew his Dou Qi and slammed fiercely into the barrier formed from purple Dou Qi.

But now, no one was left to protect Meng Chen.

"How is this possible?!"

Hai Bodong's expression changed drastically as he fully activated the source Dou Qi of a Battle Emperor and assaulted the sealing barrier.

Dull booms rang out one after another, yet they produced only faint ripples. He could not create even the slightest crack.

The restraining power of this Purple Crystal Seal far exceeded his expectations.

Breaking through every obstruction, the Lion King charged toward the completely unprotected Meng Chen with overwhelming killing intent.

"Young Divine King, be careful!!"

Outside the seal, Meng Chen heard Hai Bodong's shout. His expression remained calm, and he even had the leisure to complain inwardly.

This old lion is ruthless enough. Since he can't beat Hai Bodong, he resorts to dirty tricks—locking him up for a one-on-one fight. He clearly thinks I'm easy to bully and plans to pick on the softest target.

"This beast is quite intelligent. It even knows how to pull something like this."

What a pity.

From beginning to end, it had misjudged the situation. The greatest trump card by his side had never been Hai Bodong.

The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King arrived in an instant. His enormous lion eyes were terrifyingly crimson, and a mass of extremely condensed purplish-red flame gathered in his mouth.

He had already resolved to perish together with Meng Chen. Burning his own origin and willing to cripple his cultivation, he intended to kill Meng Chen in a single strike.

"Human! Die!"

Just as the flames were about to explode upon landing, a cool and majestic female voice echoed through the valley from nowhere.

"Impudent."

Those two simple words carried a supreme aura that looked down upon heaven and earth.

The Small Pagoda floating at Meng Chen's waist suddenly blazed with golden light. Vast, majestic golden spiritual energy surged into the sky, instantly overwhelming the entire battlefield.

"What is this?"

The Lion King's massive body froze in midair, unable to move forward another inch.

Qing Yanjing's graceful figure slowly emerged, standing before Meng Chen. Her robes fluttered without wind as spiritual energy circulated around her.

Golden spiritual seals filled the sky, condensing out of thin air. Three thousand spiritual seals crisscrossed and rapidly formed in the void.

"Three thousand spiritual seals, form an array from the void!"

A vast and boundless divine sealing array instantly enveloped the entire valley, precisely locking down every escape route and every circulation of power within the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King.

The Lion King's originally incomparably violent attack froze in midair. The terrifying flames condensed in his mouth dissipated into nothingness, while the turbulent fire-element Dou Qi within him was forcibly suppressed.

Crack!

Invisible force crushed down, and the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's enormous body plummeted heavily.

Bang!

The huge lion body slammed into the ground. After a cloud of dust rose, only a deep crater could be seen.

The Lion King's entire body now trembled violently. Every inch of bone and muscle was restrained by the suppressive force upon him, leaving him without even the strength to raise his head.

Utter terror instantly replaced all his rage and killing intent.

He had lived for over a hundred years and roamed the Magic Beast Mountains, encountering quite a few Battle Kings and Battle Emperors, yet he had never felt such terrifying power.

It even surpassed that of a Battle Ancestor!

The all-out killing blow he had just unleashed with everything he had was laughable in this woman's eyes, no different from children playing around.

Then, Qing Yanjing lightly waved her hand and broke Hai Bodong free from his confinement.

Having escaped, Hai Bodong was completely dumbfounded, his mind utterly blank.

Suppressing a desperate sixth-rank magical beast with a mere gesture—such a method was simply inconceivable!

Hai Bodong could not help muttering.

"Even a Battle Ancestor expert couldn't do this, could they?"

This scene had already surpassed everything he knew about Battle Ancestor experts. At this moment, he finally understood just how terrifying the trump card of his young Divine King truly was.

For a time, even the sound of the wind fell silent.

After a long while, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King finally recovered from his extreme shock and fear. He lowered his head with difficulty, and all killing intent faded from his lion eyes.

He finally understood. From the very beginning, he had not stood the slightest chance of victory!

This youth before him, who appeared to possess only modest cultivation, was simply someone he could not afford to provoke.

After struggling for a long time, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King let out a low whimper and assumed a submissive posture.

His enormous lion head pressed against the ground, revealing deep concession and pleading toward Qing Yanjing.

"Senior, please forgive me! I was the one who offended you."
