Chapter 94: Slaying the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King!
Chapter 94: Slaying the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King!
At this moment, a round moon hung in the sky, casting its watery light over the entire Monster Beast Mountain Range.
Under the night sky, the Monster Beast Mountain Range was exceptionally noisy, with deafening roars echoing through the air.
Beneath the night sky, a graceful figure was fleeing in haste, looking extremely disheveled.
"Roar!"
A tiger's roar echoed in the night, followed by the appearance of a massive figure, about a dozen yards long.
This was a tiger-shaped monster with enormous wings that shrouded the sky, crackling with the power of thunder, exuding a ferocious aura.
The Thunder Tiger Beast was an incredibly powerful monster in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, ranking at the peak of the fifth tier.
The Thunder Tiger Beast naturally controlled the power of thunder, and its body was constantly bathed in thunder, making it formidable. Among beasts of the same rank, the Thunder Tiger Beast had almost no natural enemies.
Dazzling lightning played across the Thunder Tiger Beast's body, filling the air, occasionally striking the figure fleeing ahead.
Sensing the terrifying presence behind her, Yun Yun's beautiful face was filled with despair.
"It seems I'm doomed today!"
Since being sealed by the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, Yun Yun had felt her strength continuously declining.
In just one hour, her strength had weakened to the fifth-grade Dou King level, and this decline was ongoing.
Boom!
The thunderbolts occasionally striking her body were taking a toll. Her body gradually became numb, her speed slowed, and her injuries multiplied.
"Damn it!"
She glanced at the Thunder Tiger Beast chasing her without mercy, realizing that it had the strength to catch her but was toying with her like a cat and mouse.
"You damn beast!"
A trace of madness flashed in Yun Yun's beautiful eyes, and then an extremely violent aura surged from within her, like a long-dormant volcano about to erupt.
At this moment, Yun Yun completely burned her internal energy. A wildly powerful force filled her limbs and body.
"Hmph!"
"Do you still want to fight, human? You're done for today after falling into my Purple Crystal Seal!"
Just then, a more powerful and violent aura suddenly enveloped the area, covering an area of hundreds of yards in all directions, including Yun Yun.
This colossal figure that appeared suddenly was none other than the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King.
However, at this moment, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King was no longer the majestic creature it used to be. Its once proud horn had been cleanly cut off, leaving a smooth scar. Its aura was weak, indicating it had suffered severe injuries.
When the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King appeared, it opened its huge eyes, staring coldly at Yun Yun, radiating overwhelming murderous intent.
Boom!
As the terrifying aura descended, Yun Yun felt like the entire world was about to collapse. An incredibly heavy force enveloped her, and the energy that had just been surging in her body froze instantly.
Her body couldn't withstand the pressure from the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's aura. She trembled, struggling to stay on her feet.
Yun Yun's aura grew weaker, and she reluctantly gave up the idea of escaping. She turned around and looked at the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King with a hint of despair.
It seemed that today she was doomed!
Thinking of this, Yun Yun regretted her overconfidence.
She had underestimated the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King. It was, after all, a ruler in this area of the Monster Beast Mountain Range, and its strength should not be taken lightly.
Now, even if she regretted, it was too late.
At this moment, images of certain individuals flashed through Yun Yun's mind.
"Teacher, I wonder if you've reached the Fighter Ancestor level? I'm afraid I won't be able to follow your wishes to strengthen the Cloud Mist Sect."
"Yan Ran, my excellent disciple, I'm afraid I won't be able to teach you anymore in the future."
And... Elder Gu He...
Suddenly, an image of Elder Gu He flashed in Yun Yun's mind.
Since they had refined the Gathering Qi Pill together, Yun Yun had developed a slight fondness for Elder Gu He. His temperament, his incredible alchemical skills, and his dedication had deeply attracted her.
For Yun Yun, there had never been another man in her life.
But regarding Elder Gu He, Yun Yun had a feeling she couldn't quite explain.
Thinking of Elder Gu He's refined face, Yun Yun smiled bitterly.
She probably wouldn't see him again in the future.
She wondered if he had received the gift she had sent him.
Seeing that Yun Yun had no intention of resisting and had given up on escaping, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King had an inkling that something was amiss. It lost interest in tormenting her further.
At the next moment, the massive wings on the back of the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King fluttered lightly, and its enormous body lunged toward Yun Yun. Its colossal eyes were filled with excitement.
This human woman was a Dou King, and if it devoured her, its strength would undoubtedly increase significantly.
Thinking of this, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King opened its blood-red jaws, its sharp teeth measuring about half a meter, and charged at Yun Yun.
As Yun Yun watched the approaching blood-red jaws, she closed her eyes in despair.
Under the terrifying pressure of the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, she couldn't move, and she could only watch herself be devoured.
But just as the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King was a few yards away from Yun Yun, an overwhelming pressure swept in from the direction of the valley.
"What is this...?"
Sensing the familiar pressure, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's massive body came to a halt, and its enormous eyes turned to the valley with an expression of shock.
The Fighter Ancestor hadn't left yet!
At this moment, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King was filled with anxiety.
In the next moment, ripples appeared in the space beside the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, and a tall figure slowly materialized.
At the same time, an extremely terrifying pressure pressed down on the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King.
The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's massive body shook, its enormous eyes widened in disbelief as it stared at the white-robed figure that had suddenly appeared.
The person who had suddenly appeared was none other than Gu He, who had just used the Near and Far Worlds Technique to arrive from the valley.
Dressed in white, his robes rustling, Gu He had the air of an immortal about to depart for the heavens. Gu He looked at the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King in front of him with an indifferent gaze, his eyes filled with coldness.
"Master..."
Feeling the terrifying killing intent emanating from Gu He, the massive body of the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King shivered, and it stammered.
At that moment, Gu He's eyes flickered with purple flames, and he directly unleashed the Soul Fire on the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King in front of him.
The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, still wanting to explain something, suddenly found in horror that purple flames had ignited on its body.
Initially, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King was slightly puzzled because the purple flames closely resembled the beast fire within it, making it think it was its own fire emerging.
But in the next moment, intense pain surged throughout its body, a searing sensation that pierced to the bone.
"Roar!"
Unable to bear the pain, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King let out a miserable cry, and its huge body crashed to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.
Pain!
Agonizing pain that penetrated to the bone made the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King roll on the ground uncontrollably.
Several fifth-rank magical beasts that had followed the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King witnessed this scene. Silently, their eyes showed extreme fear, and they fled into the distance.
"Master, spare us!"
"Master..."
At this moment, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King also realized that the terrifying purple flames burning on its body were related to the white-robed Gu He in the void. It immediately begged for mercy.
Facing the plea for mercy from the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, Gu He remained unmoved, showing no expression on his face. He coldly watched everything unfold.
He was not a saint; in this world of survival of the fittest, harboring a compassionate heart was the greatest mistake.
Just now, if he had been a step later, Yun Yun would probably have been swallowed by the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King.
Thinking of this, a strong killing intent surged in Gu He's heart.
His memories were completely integrated with those of the previous owner.
Although Gu He was not as infatuated with Yun Yun as the previous owner, he still harbored considerable goodwill towards her.
Faced with the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, which had almost killed Yun Yun, Gu He naturally had no mercy.
With a thought, Gu He increased the firepower and directly burned the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King below with his Soul Fire.
Blazing flames enveloped the massive body of the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King.
Instantly, the pitiful cries of the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King echoed throughout the entire forest.
"I'll fight you!"
Feeling the changes in the purple flames on its body, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King roared angrily towards the sky. The massive body wrapped in purple flames charged directly towards Gu He in the void.
Clearly, realizing that begging for mercy was useless, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King had decided to fight to the death.
Seeing this scene, a cold smile appeared on Gu He's lips, his expression still indifferent.
A palm print was casually blasted out, forcefully suppressing the charging Purple Crystal Winged Lion King.
The gap between a Dou King and a Dou Venerate was like a chasm. Facing the heavily wounded Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, Gu He made only a slight move and completely suppressed it.
The Primordial Divine Fire was condensed from the essence of different fires, and the terror of different fires was unparalleled.
After a short moment, the miserable cries of the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King gradually ceased.
Its massive body had turned into a blackened wreckage.
With a thought, Gu He directly retrieved the Primordial Divine Fire.
Suddenly, only the wreckage of the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King remained on the ground.
Not far away, Yun Yun looked at Gu He's back with gratitude in her eyes.
The night was dim at this moment, and she hadn't seen Gu He's face clearly, but she felt that this figure was somewhat familiar.
Watching the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, which had already died in the purple flames, Yun Yun relaxed, wanting to say something. However, she felt a dizzy sensation rushing to her head.
At this moment, she was seriously injured, her Qi nearly depleted, and on top of that, she was sealed by the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King. She was already extremely weak.
Seeing that the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King was dead, she couldn't hold on any longer. Her vision darkened, and she fell softly to the ground.
In the void above, Gu He's gaze stayed on the purple flame on the wreckage of the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King.
This was the beast fire inside the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, the Purple Flame.
Originally, facing the Primordial Divine Fire, this strand of Purple Flame could only end up being devoured.
But under Gu He's control, this strand of beast fire was preserved.
The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King was a sixth-rank magical beast, and this strand of Purple Flame was its innate flame, even more powerful than the Purple Eagle Flame.
Gu He left it for the purpose of bestowing it upon his disciples.
If it could trigger a tenfold return, he would gain another powerful different fire.
To enhance the power of the Primordial Divine Fire, Gu He needed to devour various powerful flames.
If he could devour another different fire, the power would at least double.
Thinking of this, Gu He's mind moved, and he approached the wreckage of the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, directly storing the Purple Flame in the system space.
After completing all this, Gu He turned around slowly, looking at Yun Yun who had fainted on the ground.
With a thought, Gu He appeared next to Yun Yun.
At this moment, Yun Yun, with closed eyes, had an extremely pale face, clearly severely injured.
Gu He sighed and then bent down to lift the unconscious Yun Yun into his arms in a princess carry.
Then, Gu He disappeared into the forest.
When he reappeared, Gu He, still carrying Yun Yun, had arrived in front of a massive cave.
This cave was the den of the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King.
As the ruler of the magical beast mountain range, the den must have collected a large number of treasures.
Not to mention anything else, just the abundant Purple Spirit Crystals and the associated Purple Crystal Source in the den were enough for Gu He to plunder.
Although these had little use for him, they were extremely suitable treasures for Liu Ling and the Little Doctor.
If these treasures were given to his disciples, Gu He himself could also obtain excellent system treasures.
Thinking of this, Gu He smiled faintly, then, holding Yun Yun, he slowly walked towards the den.
Entering the cave, the interior was not as dim as imagined. Occasionally, purple crystal blocks were embedded on the surrounding mountain walls—natural products of the cave.
In the human world, these purple crystal blocks were highly valued decorations, with considerable value.
In the deep and spacious interior of the cave, adorned with these purple crystal blocks, it was exceptionally beautiful.
Looking at these naturally formed dens, Gu He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Even this cunning lion seemed to understand how to enjoy a comfortable life better than humans.
