With a thunderous crash, the Amethyst Winged Lion King smmed heavily into the mountais cws, glowing like red-hot iron, forcibly cauterized its wounds through the intense heat.

  "Kill that human woman for this king!!!"

  The Amethyst Winged Lion Ki out a ferocious roar. Its blood-red, giant eyes filled with murderous i caused the magical beasts that had inally fled in all dires to halt iracks. Thousands of them simultaneously turheir gaze toward Yun Yun as she fell from the sky.

  tless magical beasts verged from all dires to surround her like sharks smelling blood.

  Undoubtedly, a Dou Emperor whose Dou Qi had been sealed was no different from a defenseless woman in front of these numerous magical beasts. Even if she didn't die from the high fall, she would be torn apart by the horde of magical beasts.

  A burst of blood energy erupted from Xiao Yan as Dou Qi surged through his body. The terrifying blood-colored energy transformed into the illusory figure of a giant lion that enveloped him entirely. The bined power of a 3-star Dou Master's Dou Qi and his flesh and blood surged out of every pore.

  "Get the hell out of my way!"

  Xiao Yan unleashed the Mad Lion t. A massive, charging energy lion burst forth as his shout echoed. The lion's ferocious roar echoed throughout the forest.

  Roar! The fearsome blood-colored lion like a runaway tank smashed everything in its path. Trees were shattered, and Rank 1 and 2 magical beasts were instantly pulverized into a mist of blood by the powerful force.

  After carving a bloody path, Xiao Yan forcefully stomped on the ground with his right foot. A loud boom sounded, and the terrifying force created a small crater in the ground as dirt flew up.

  Xiao Yan moved swiftly, his body ed in a bck Soul Robe as he rushed like a ghostly shadow toward the spot where Yun Yun was falling.

  With a physique that had already been hoo be as formidable as that of a magical beast, he resembled a raging lion uhe enha of the Mad Lion t. Even Rank 3 magical beasts had to avoid his sharp edge.

  Xiao Yan leaped thirty feet high, and the sed, a pair of bd purple colored Purple Cloud Wings appeared on his back. His Dou Qi densed, and with a powerful fp of his wings, he shot forward like an arrow released from a bow to catch the falling Yun Yun.

  Suddenly embraced by a man in a bck robe with a hood c his face, Yun Yun instinctively tried to break free.

  "Stay still if you don't want to die!" Xiao Yan shouted sternly.

  He had no time to soothe her with gentle words as they were still in danger.

  "Human! You are c death!!" A searing roar came from behind Xiao Yan.

  The Amethyst Winged Lion King was badly injured, but not dead. It could still fly!

  The enraged Amethyst Winged Lion King fpped its wings rapidly. It was closing in on Xiao Yan at high speed. Xiao Yahat with his Dou Master's cultivation, relying on flying teiques would not make him faster than the Rank 6 Amethyst Winged Lion King.

  A fierce look fshed in his eyes as he held Yun Yun tightly with one arm around her back, pulling her close as their bodies pressed together.

  "You!" A blush crept across Yun Yun's cheeks; she had never been so close to a man before!

  Before Yun Yun had time to react, Xiao Yan instantly spun around in midair, his gaze intensifying as a powerful surge of Spiritual Strength emanated from his body.

  Soul Impact!

  With a thud, Xiao Yan's mind was momentarily shaken by dizziness. Even though the Amethyst Winged Lion King was a magical beast with little soul cultivation, it was still a Rank 6 magical beast whose soul had gradually strengthened over time.

  Xiao Yan's Spiritual Strength was inferior to the other party's.

  Roar roar roar!! The Amethyst Winged Lion King could not have anticipated that Xiao Yan possessed a Soul Skill. Caught off guard, it felt a pierg pain in its soul, and its wounds that had just begun to heal burst open again.

  Xiao Yahis was not enough. He bit his too quickly clear his mind. After that, with a thought, a cluster of bck fmes appeared in the palm of his right hand. Then, with a wave of his arm, he scattered the bck fmes into tless tiny sparks that fell from the sky like a dark rain.

  Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!! These were the bck fmes of the Nihility Dev Fme. Even though it was only a Seed Fme, it still possessed the unique characteristics of the Nihility Dev Fme.

  Just a few sparks set rge swathes of the forest abze. The bck fmes spread across the mountainside, and thick smoke made visibility nearly impossible.

  Without hesitation, Xiao Yan popped a 3rd-tier Great Recovery Pill into his mouth. The bck fme instantly engulfed the Purple Cloud Wings and propelled him to maximum speed. Then he instantly disappeared into the horizon using the cover provided by the bck fmes.

  The angry roars of the Amethyst Winged Lion King grew fainter and fainter until Xiao Yan had successfully escaped with Yun Yun.

  The Amethyst Winged Lion King looked at the bck fmes burning across its territory with a grave expression. These fmes could not be extinguished with water.

  It would have to use its owhyst Fme to forcibly burn them away.

  'This bck fme seems so weak, yet why does it feel so dangerously potent? What kind of fme is this?' The Amethyst Winged Lion King suspected that if the other party's strength was parable to its own, it feared that even its owhyst Fme might be ed by this mysterious bck fme.

  ...

  Oher side, a thhly exhausted Xiao Yan barely mao fly back to the cave using his Dou Qi. Yun Yun's face was already pale due to her sealed Dou Qi, but Xiao Yan, drained from the intense Dou Qi ption, was even paler!

  Xiao Yan lifted the hood of his Soul Robe, revealing a youthful face, and sat down cross-legged on the ground to begin digesting a Great Recovery Pill to restore his Dou Qi.

  He looked at Yun Yun standing nearby with a cautious expression and forced himself to speak calmly, "There's a cave on the cliff where you ge your clothes. Even without Dou Qi, you should be able to climb up there."

  Yun Yun's pretty face blushed at his words and instinctively covered her body.

  Every sed of the battle with the Amethyst Winged Lion King had been fraught with danger. Her body already bore several wounds, and her clothes were tattered and torn, with several holes burhrough them by the Amethyst Fme. Her fair skin peeked through the holes, revealing an uional dispy of allure.

  After ging into a pin dress, she looked even mal and dignified.

  Her eyebrows furrowed slightly. She realized that she wouldn't be able to break the Amethyst Winged Lion King's seal anytime soon.

  Then she curiously looked at Xiao Yan who was cirg his Qi Method to restore his Dou Qi o her. She asked, "Who are you? Why did you save me?"

  After a few moments, Xiao Yan took a deep breath and finally recovered some of his Dou Qi. Despite the heroid galnt appearance he had just dispyed while saving the beauty, if his Spiritual Strength had been a bit weaker, he wouldn't have been able to stop the severely injured Amethyst Winged Lion King, and both he and Yun Yun would have ended up as its meal today.

  "Shouldn't you introduce yourself before asking someone else's name?" Xiao Yan looked toward Yun Yun with eyes as calm as still water.

  Yun Yun froze for a moment. She had only ever entered men who fttered and fawned over her, never a young man as calm and self-assured as Xiao Yan, who had even stepped in to save her life.

  Her beautiful eyes flickered slightly as she smiled faintly, "My name is Yun Zhi."

  Xiao Yan's eyelid twitched as he looked at Yun Yun, who seemed slightly proud of her made-up name. He felt so embarrassed that he almost wao find a hole to crawl into.

  Using a fake name was ohing, but not even ging your st name?

  "Uh... my name is Yao Yan." What else could he do? Just pretend he didn't know she retending.

  "Why did you save me?" Yun Yun asked softly. She clearly did nnize Xiao Yan and could not uand why he would go to such lengths to save her.

  "I o ehe ir of the Amethyst Winged Lion King to retrieve something. As a Dou Emperor, you hold off the Amethyst Winged Lion King," he replied bluntly, not b to ceal his motives.

  His straightforwardness left Yun Yun dumbfounded. Was he really trying to use her as a pawn so openly?

  A brave hero saving the beauty? Not at all!

  Xiao Yan was very straightforward, openly admitting he had ulterior motives for saving her.

  Surprisingly, Yun Yun nodded in response. She herself did not think that Xiao Yan saved her because of her beauty or anything like that. His hoy left a good impression on her.

  "The Purple Spirit Crystal I need is also likely ihe cave, but my Dou Qi is currently sealed, and I ot break the seal quickly. If we allow the Amethyst Winged Lion King to recover from its injuries, it won't be easy to succeed," she said with .

  The Amethyst Winged Lion King was now injured, aering the ir would be even more difficult if they waited until its wounds fully healed. Moreover, after havihere once, Yun Yun feared that the Amethyst Winged Lion King would guard its ir even more closely ime.

  Xiao Yan smiled calmly, having already thought of a method to break the seal. He slowly extended his right index finger. With a whoosh, a wisp of bck fme appeared at his fiip.

  "I help you break the seal."

  The Nihility Dev Fme had the ability to devour anything. He po use the characteristics of the Nihility Dev Fme to gradually devour the seal.
