Dou Emperors Clash! Joining the Spectacle and Picking Up the Scraps

A lotus mark appeared between the Earth Nether Rock Turtle's eyes.

Lu Yuan sensed that he had left a special contract mark on its soul.

From this day forth, the Earth Nether Rock Turtle's life was his to control with a single thought, and it would not defy any of his orders.

"Rrgh..." The Earth Nether Rock Turtle stretched out its head and gave Lu Yuan a deep, muffled rumble.

"It worked." Lu Yuan swayed on his feet, but his cultivation and soul power were both greater than Qing Lin's. He did not faint; his eyes merely felt a little sore.

"Come here." Lu Yuan beckoned to the Earth Nether Rock Turtle.

The giant immediately lumbered forward, making the entire ground tremble with every step.

"That's wonderful, young master." Qing Lin's little face was full of smiles. "Now we have two Fourth-Order Magical Beasts. That's the same as having two Dou Ling thugs."

"Indeed." Lu Yuan nodded slightly and turned to look east. "It's time we went back to Salt City."

Rumble!

The moment Lu Yuan finished speaking, the earth suddenly began to shake violently. A tremendous noise came from deep within the Magical Beast Mountain Range, and the sky underwent a drastic change.

Zhang Qingqing fixed her eagle-sharp gaze on the clouds churning and gathering in the distance. After watching them for a moment, she said gravely, "The weather is being forcibly disturbed, and vast amounts of heaven and earth energy are being drawn together. This is a clash between experts at least at the level of a High-Rank Dou Wang."

"Dou Wang?" Lu Yuan frowned slightly, and a bolt of lightning suddenly flashed through his mind.

Xiao Yan had been in the mountains for over three months. By his reckoning, it was about time for Yun Yun and the Amethyst Winged Lion King to fight.

Yun Yun would be gravely injured in that battle, and the Amethyst Winged Lion King's bloodline Dou Technique would temporarily seal her cultivation. If she had not met the extraordinarily bold Xiao Yan, she would likely have perished in the Magical Beast Mountain Range.

Yun Yun must also be someone who meets the Fortune Catalog's conditions for inclusion.

A Dou Huang expert. An opportunity like this is hard to come by; I can't miss it.

With that thought, Lu Yuan immediately said to Qing Lin and the other two, "Qing Lin, have the Azure-Feathered Flame Snake take you, Xian'er, and Aunt Qing back to the valley to wait for me. I'll ride the Earth Nether Rock Turtle over to see what's happening."

"Xiao Yuan, have you lost your mind?" Zhang Qingqing's face darkened. "In a clash between experts of that level, even the aftermath is more than you can withstand right now."

"Aunt Qing, I'm not going to join the spectacle, and I'm not thinking of picking up any scraps. I just want to take a look from far away and broaden my horizons." Of course, Lu Yuan could not tell the truth.

"With the Earth Nether Rock Turtle protecting me, getting away won't be a problem."

"Young master, why don't we go together, then?" Qing Lin immediately said. "We can escape faster with the Purple Nether Flame Snake, too."

"The Purple Nether Flame Snake can fly, but it would be too obvious a target. It would only be more likely to cause trouble." Lu Yuan shook his head, rejecting the idea. "Say no more. The Earth Nether Rock Turtle and I will go alone."

Seeing that Lu Yuan had made up his mind, Qing Lin and the other two women stopped trying to persuade him.

"Earth Nether Rock Turtle, let's go!"

Once the Azure-Feathered Flame Snake had taken Qing Lin and the other two women away, Lu Yuan leaped onto the Earth Nether Rock Turtle's back and patted its sturdy shell.

"Rrgh." The Earth Nether Rock Turtle let out a low roar and pushed off with all four limbs.

It looked very cumbersome, but it was actually a heavily armored tank. After channeling earth-attribute Dou Qi to reinforce its limbs and the ground, it moved with astonishing speed.

Every shrub and rock in its path was crushed, leaving a trail of small pits in the ground.

"Human woman, you have worn away this king's patience."

A tremendous roar burst from the Amethyst Winged Lion King's mouth, stirring the energy of heaven and earth into turmoil.

"Lion King, as long as you exchange the Purple Spirit Crystal with me, I will never disturb you again."

The gale blew the black robe off Yun Yun. Though she had already been fighting the Amethyst Winged Lion King for a long time, she remained as graceful and noble as ever.

"You don't know what's good for you!"

The Amethyst Winged Lion King felt provoked and immediately decided to hold nothing back. Intense purple light surged over his body, dazzling enough to outshine the setting sun on the horizon.

The Magical Beasts watching the battle nearby immediately cried out in terror.

Even the three enormous Fifth-Order Magical Beasts, each comparable to a Dou Wang expert, were no exception.

"Lion King, I must offend you."

Sensing the energy of heaven and earth raging around her, Yun Yun's expression grew grave. Without hesitation, she too drew upon the wind-attribute energy of heaven and earth around her.

"Amethyst Seal!"

The purple radiance grew ever more dazzling, nearly illuminating the entire world. Yet after building for a long time, it abruptly contracted. Accompanied by the Amethyst Winged Lion King's furious roar, the enormous radiance that had filled the sky became a pillar of deep purple light only half a foot wide in the blink of an eye.

"Oh no!"

Sensing that something was wrong, Yun Yun immediately unleashed the powerful Dou Technique she had been preparing in her hand.

"Wind-Splitting Whirlwind Dance!"

The wind-attribute energy of heaven and earth combined with the wind-attribute Dou Qi in Yun Yun's body, instantly transforming into a deep azure wind blade over ten zhang across. It shot forward, spinning at high speed in a spiral.

Rumble.

Wherever the purple pillar of light and the whirling blade of wind passed, space itself seemed to tremble slightly. When the two finally collided, an even more terrifying sound erupted.

But the clash did not last long before the spinning wind blade was clearly forced onto the defensive.

A few breaths later, the purple pillar of light crushed and blasted the wind blade apart, leaving it unable to obstruct the attack any longer.

During that time, however, Yun Yun had already condensed dozens of layers of wind shields in front of her and begun gathering power for another attack.

The pillar of light crushed the wind shields one by one, and after each shield shattered, it vanished into Yun Yun's body.

"Die, woman!"

Just as the purple pillar of light reached Yun Yun, the Amethyst Winged Lion King, who had already begun his charge, appeared as if by teleportation.

Purple Dou Qi gathered on his raised, enormous paw, and he swiped it at Yun Yun.

"Extreme Wind, Meteor Kill!"

In that critical instant, Yun Yun raised the longsword in her hand, which glowed with an azure light.

An extremely thin beam of azure light, only as thick as a thumb, shot out, slashing toward the Amethyst Winged Lion King's head.

"Bang!"

The Amethyst Winged Lion King nimbly dodged Yun Yun's killing move, but doing so also changed the direction of his attack. Instead of striking her head, his paw struck the longsword she had raised to block in front of her chest.

The tremendous force drove the longsword straight through Yun Yun's protective Dou Qi, drawing blood and exposing bone.

The power of the seal also surged into Yun Yun's body at that moment, and she felt her Dou Qi "disappearing."

"Oh no!" Without another word, Yun Yun turned and fled.

Her azure wings beat, and her body flickered strangely through the air several times before vanishing over the horizon in an instant.

The horn, the hardest part of the Amethyst Winged Lion King's body, had been severed, and the intense pain drew a furious lion's roar from him.

The mountains below shattered with a thunderous crash, as if struck by an earthquake, before the sound waves that had almost become a solid shockwave.

Forcing himself to endure the pain, the Amethyst Winged Lion King widened his enormous blood-red eyes and roared savagely, making no attempt to hide his killing intent. "That human woman has been struck by this king's seal. She cannot escape the Magical Beast Mountain Range."

"All of you, search for her! Bring that human woman back to this king!"

The Magical Beasts gathered below immediately spread out like a net in the direction Yun Yun had fled.

Lu Yuan, watching through a homemade telescope from a distant mountain peak, saw it all.

"What a coincidence?"

Lu Yuan noticed that Yun Yun had fled east, while he was currently positioned to the southeast.

"Earth Nether Rock Turtle, run!"
