Above the sky, a massive emerald tornado, with the mysterious woman’s wave, carried the howling sound of the tempest, crazily sweeping towards the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King. Wherever the storm passed, the forest below was transformed into a land of yellow earth, with numerous beasts fleeing from it in a hurry. Protected by the Pharmacist Elder, Xiao Yan narrowly escaped being swept away by the fierce winds, tightly gripping the tree trunk with both hands, and could not help but swallow hard at the sight of the forest, which had been ravaged to ruins.
“Hmph!” Seeing the approaching storm, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King let out a thunderous hum, its wings flapping, and from its body, a towering purple flame column, measuring up to several zhang, detached itself, charging towards the storm.
The two colossal entities clashed in the air like lightning. In the moment of collision, the space almost fell silent.
“Boom!” A thunderclap exploded in the clear sky. The storm and the flame column collided fiercely, releasing terrifying energy. At the point of their collision, the space seemed to ripple slightly.
“Bang!” After a few minutes of stalemate, the storm and the flame column finally exhausted their energy, disappearing with a loud, resonating boom across the mountains.
As the storm and the flame column dissipated, the mysterious woman, standing quietly in the sky, finally moved. Her emerald wings flapped, and her body became like a streak of lightning, instantly crossing the zone of chaotic energy, appearing behind the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King. Her strange long sword pierced out, and at the tip, a rapidly spinning wind blade formed, resembling a green sphere covered in sharp blades.
“Clang… clang…” The long sword, with the wind blade, struck the surface of the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, producing a series of crisp sounds. However, the swift stabs only left white marks on the purple crystal, which disappeared in moments.
Unbothered by the ordinary attacks, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King swayed its giant head, and a red spiral horn shot out a thick, powerful purple flame. The searing purple flame made the mysterious woman frown, and she formed a strange hand seal in front of her: “Wind Thrust!”
As the crisp voice fell, a violent emerald wind whirlwind surged forth, roaring and blocking the massive purple flame.
Seeing that the purple fire attack was ineffective, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King’s eyes blazed with intense purple light. Its huge paw, glowing with a brilliant purple, angrily smashed down on the mysterious woman, tearing through the air, creating a sharp, piercing sound.
Faced with the physical assault, the mysterious woman’s face turned serious, her emerald wings fluttering, and a massive emerald wind shield, several meters in size, suddenly materialized in front of her.
“Crack…” The giant paw smashed onto the emerald wind shield, and as the purple light intensified, a sharp cracking sound shattered the shield into countless fragments, which then dispersed with the wind. The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King’s physical attack was incredibly powerful.
Breaking through the opponent’s defense, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King let out a low, angry roar, its massive body twisting, and despite its large size, its attack speed was terrifyingly fast.
Facing the relentless attacks of the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, the mysterious woman could only dodge. After all, engaging in close combat with a beast so physically powerful was not a wise move.
In the sky, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King continued to flash around, while the mysterious woman retreated, though seemingly at a disadvantage, she remained unharmed.
Looking up at the dazzling battle in the sky and the constantly undulating space, Xiao Yan couldn’t help but be amazed. The residual waves of their fight could easily obliterate a Great Dou Shi or even a higher-level warrior.
“The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King’s defense and physical strength are extremely formidable, and the woman wields various profound wind techniques. Both are Battle Emperors, and their strength is not too far apart. Without using their trump cards, it will be difficult to determine the winner,” the Pharmacist Elder remarked casually.
“Maybe not. The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King’s element is fire. Under the scorching sun, its fighting power increases, but at night, it weakens slightly. Therefore, before sunset, it might end the battle quickly,” Xiao Yan whispered, looking up at the sky.
“Heh, the little guy has observed carefully. In such a short time, you noticed that the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King draws power from the sun,” the Pharmacist Elder chuckled, somewhat surprised.
“I saw the purple crystal on its body, it seems to be absorbing the sun’s energy. The purple flame inside it must be catalyzed by this,” Xiao Yan blinked, then asked, “Teacher, can alchemists refine the purple flame inside the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King and store it as a fire seed?”
“Uh… you really dare to think,” the Pharmacist Elder replied, shaking his head. “This flame is very difficult for alchemists to refine. It originates within the beast, and compared to foreign flames, it is even harder to tame. Moreover, it is not as potent as foreign flames, just slightly stronger than Qi Flame, so no one would bother to subdue it.”
Xiao Yan nodded, returning to silence as he watched the high-level battle in the sky, a rare sight.
Due to the commotion caused by the battle between the human and the beast, many monsters were awakened from their slumber, and the once-empty mountains now echoed with various strange roars.
Creatures living in the depths of the Magic Beast Mountains were generally at least Class 3, and these beasts had already developed some intelligence, unlike the instinct-driven beasts outside.
In the world of magical beasts, the hierarchy was extremely strict. The lower-class beasts instinctively kept their distance, while only a few high-class beasts were allowed to watch the battle closely. Xiao Yan counted three massive beasts standing arrogantly on mountain peaks, their eyes fixed on the aerial battle. The Pharmacist Elder mentioned that these were Class 5 beasts, equivalent to human Dou Wangs.
Looking at these legendary beasts, Xiao Yan couldn’t help but groan. In just the eastern part of the vast Magic Beast Mountains, there was a Class 6 and three Class 5 beasts, along with other lower-class beasts. Such a formidable lineup could easily destroy an entire army!
Though many beasts appeared, none dared to aid the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, as they understood that doing so would insult the dignity of the eastern king.
The battle raged from noon until the sun began to set. As the sun sank below the horizon, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, which had tirelessly pursued the mysterious woman, suddenly stopped. Its blood-red eyes, tinged with purple, fixed on the noble woman in the sky with a cold and impatient glare.
“Human woman, you have worn out my patience!” the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King roared, its voice echoing through the mountains.
“Only if the Lion King agrees to exchange the Purple Spirit Stone, I will leave and never trouble you again,” the mysterious woman said, still dignified and graceful despite the pursuit, as a green wind whirlwind appeared and disappeared around her.
“Ungrateful! Then don’t blame me!” the Lion King roared, its body glowing with an increasingly intense purple light. After a moment, the light even threatened to overshadow the setting sun.
“It’s getting serious…” Xiao Yan muttered, noticing the growing power of the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King.
Below, the beasts watching the purple light on the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King’s body, including the three massive Class 5 beasts, hastily retreated in fear.
The strange fluctuations in the energy around her alerted the mysterious woman, and her face turned grave as a fierce wind began to howl around her.
Purple radiance enveloped the sky, and after a while, the light condensed into a half-foot-long deep purple beam.
“Seal?” feeling the energy within the deep purple beam, the Pharmacist Elder murmured in surprise.
“Seal?” Xiao Yan asked, curious.
“Some high-class beasts are born with sealing skills. I didn’t expect the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King to know it. The woman is in big trouble,” the Pharmacist Elder explained.
As the explanation ended, the deep purple beam shot out like lightning, moving at an incredible speed, appearing just a short distance from the mysterious woman in just two blinks.
“Purple Crystal Seal!” The Lion King’s low roar echoed through the mountains as the purple light flashed.
At the appearance of the deep purple beam, the mysterious woman’s face changed slightly, and she unleashed a powerful technique, “Splitting Wind Spiral Dance!”
As the woman’s voice fell, the space in front of her rippled, and countless deep green wind blades, each over ten zhang long, appeared, intertwining and spinning like a cylindrical wall of blades, rushing out.
“Boom!” Where the purple beam and the wind blades collided, the space twisted, and the two forces crashed together with the impact of meteors. The wind blades were at a disadvantage, exploding in moments, while the purple beam only dimmed slightly.
After destroying the wind blades, the purple beam, with unstoppable force, pierced through dozens of wind shields the woman had set up, ultimately entering her body.
As the purple beam hit, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King’s massive form appeared in front of the mysterious woman. Five sharp purple spikes shot out from its giant paw, slashing viciously at her chest.
“Ultimate Wind, Falling Star!” Just as the giant paw was about to tear through the woman, her strange long sword trembled, and a tiny, deep line, no larger than a thumb, shot out, causing the space to shudder.
“Crack!” The line rushed towards the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King’s head, but the Lion King lowered its head slightly, causing the line to strike its red horn, slicing it in half.
The pain from the broken horn enraged the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, and it roared, its paw smashing into the woman’s chest with immense force. With a metallic screech, the woman spat out a mouthful of blood, her face pale, and then she turned, her wings flapping, and her body flickered strangely, disappearing into the distance.
Despite her injuries, the woman’s speed was terrifying. The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, weakened by the broken horn, roared with murderous intent, and the ground shook, with some tall peaks being shattered.
“Search for me, find that human woman!” the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King roared, its blood-red eyes glaring, and the entire mountain range was filled with the frantic movements of the beasts.
