Chapter 161: The Agitated Purple Crystal Winged Lion King

"Hmm?" Xiao Yan frowned, not understanding why Yao Lao was so nervous, but deep down, his trust in Yao Lao ultimately prevailed, and he subconsciously prepared to retreat.

However, just as he turned around, he saw a figure staring angrily at him, "Damn it,

has this beast returned so quickly?"

Xiao Yan's mouth twitched, and he said with some surprise, though one could tell from his tone that Xiao Yan was not very afraid.

"I won't play with you anymore, goodbye." Xiao Yan curled his lips, then immediately dashed toward the exit.

At the same time, flames ignited on his body,

"Flame Shadow!"

Accompanied by a low shout,

three identical flaming figures suddenly appeared before the Xiao Zijing Yi Shiwang, causing its already not-so-bright little brain to become even more confused. A trace of bewilderment flashed in its eyes.

While the opponent was stunned, Xiao Yan took the opportunity to rush out.

After a brief moment of dullness, the Xiao Zijing Yi Shiwang turned its head in a renewed rage and chased after the intruder.

Xiao Yan pushed his speed to the absolute limit, finally seeing a speck of light ahead, and in his great joy, he charged straight out.

However...

"Kid, have you thought about how you want to die?" The purple-haired brute stared with his copper-bell-like purple eyes, his voice booming like a great bell.

"Damn it, where is Yun Zhi? Why is this Purple Crystal Winged Lion King guarding the cave entrance?" Xiao Yan felt desperate in his heart.

"Teacher, I'll have to trouble you with this." Xiao Yan said helplessly, feeling fortunate in his heart that he had Yao Lao to lean on.

"Rest assured, nothing will happen to you." Yao Lao said calmly.

Sure enough, no sooner had Yao Lao finished speaking than a cyan whirlwind appeared, directly wrapping around Xiao Yan and carrying him away.

"Hmph, daring to snatch someone in front of this King, you Five-Star Dou Huang don't have the ability."

The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King snorted coldly, energy gathering in its hand,

the next moment, an energy beam half a meter in diameter was fired from its hand.

"Extreme of Wind, Meteor Kill!"

Yun Yun suddenly pulled Xiao Yan, dodging that terrifying attack.

At the same time, the long sword in her hand traced a strange arc; the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's eyes narrowed, for the target was none other than the Xiao Zijing Yi Shiwang that had just accidentally rushed out of the cave dwelling.

At this moment, the Xiao Zijing Yi Shiwang was bewildered and at a loss, having no way to avoid this attack.

"Boom—"

A cloud of dust rose, the front of the cave dwelling suddenly collapsed, and then the figure of the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King appeared beside its offspring, looking at the two with eyes full of killing intent.

"Human, you have completely angered me!"

The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's figure suddenly vanished; Yun Yun's pupils shrank, never having expected the opponent to be able to erupt with such terrifying speed.

"Since you attacked my son, then I will kill this human you are trying to protect."

That rough voice made Xiao Yan and the other shudder.

"Go to hell!"

"Ugh!"

Xiao Yan sat up abruptly, cold sweat streaming down his forehead, his mouth gasping for air.

"Was it a hallucination?" Xiao Yan's last memory before losing consciousness was the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's fist, which was wrapped in flames.

But Xiao Yan felt carefully, and apart from his body being slightly sore,

there was nothing unusual.

"What,

awake?" At this moment, Yao Lao's voice sounded in Xiao Yan's ear.

"Teacher, what happened?" Xiao Yan clutched his head, asking in confusion.

If that scene were just a dream, Xiao Yan would never believe it. But if the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King had really landed that punch, it would be unrealistic for him to have kept his life.

Therefore, he could only ask the old man beside him.

"If I said I don't understand either, would you believe me?" Yao Lao smiled bitterly.

"Originally, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King did indeed land the attack on you; although that little girl helped you block a bit, the remaining force was enough to put you to death."

"At the time, I originally wanted to control your body to help you dodge this disaster. But..."

Yao Lao paused for a moment, then, under Xiao Yan's expectant gaze, continued: "At that time, your body suddenly erupted with a strong light, and my soul power simply couldn't enter your body..."

Finally, Yao Lao made his own guess: "It was likely a life-saving measure imposed on you by your family."

"Hmm." Xiao Yan responded, his gaze shifting to see a neatly folded cyan-green inner armor on the ground.

"This is..." Xiao Yan picked it up, his nose twitching slightly, and a faint fragrance entered his nasal cavity.

"Hehe~"

"This was left for you by that little girl!" Yao Lao smiled suggestively, clearly quite approving of Xiao Yan's charm.

"She spent quite a bit of effort to help you heal your wounds, and she kept looking back three times for every step she took before leaving."

"You kid already have half the style I had when I was young."

Hearing Yao Lao's words, Xiao Yan also revealed an embarrassed smile.

"Forget it, I'm still just a little Dou Shi, why think so much." Xiao Yan shook his head, casting the thoughts from his mind.

"Right, when you reach the Dou Huang level, you can go find her."

"You old lecher, get lost."

"You impolite little fellow!"

And in the shadows, three figures withdrew their gazes and then left from afar.

One of them was precisely the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King that had wanted to take Xiao Yan's life during the day.

"For today's matter, many thanks for the help, Your Excellency Lion King," one of the people said, cupping their hands toward the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King.

"Eh!" The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King waved a hand.

"Since they are the clansman of a senior, this King naturally must take good care of them. I only hope Your Excellency will not mind that this King injured that little brother."

"The Lion King has already shown mercy. Suffering a few injuries is good for teaching him a lesson."

That is correct, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King had shown mercy.

Although he had put on an appearance of not stopping until he took Xiao Yan's life, at the final moment, he had withdrawn more than half of his power.

The momentum was grand, yet there was not much substantial damage.

"Right, this is the reward for the Lion King's intervention this time." Immediately, that person handed a jade bottle to the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King.

"This is the Seventh Grade high-level Medicinal Pill that our Clan Leader personally requested to be gifted to the Lion King—the Blood Purifying Pill, which can help the Lion King break through to the Seventh Tier."

"Sev... Seventh Tier?" The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King held the jade bottle with a slightly trembling body, saying with some pleasant surprise.

"Yes, the Lion King has sent a large amount of Medicinal Herb to our clan for many years and has taken great pains to look after our clan members. This mere Medicinal Pill is but a small token of our respect."

"Then... many thanks to Clan Leader Xiao!" the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King said excitedly.

Its gratitude was sincere; Magic Beast rely heavily on their own bloodlines.

A Sixth-Rank Magical Beast does not need to do anything; as long as it eats and drinks along the way and does not die, it will sooner or later reach the Sixth-Tier, becoming a powerhouse comparable to an Emperor.

However, bloodline is also a shackle for Magic Beast. If the bloodline is not improved, no matter how hard they try, their strength will forever remain stagnant.

The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King was in such a situation now; already a Sixth Tier Peak Magic Beast, it had nowhere left to rise, and without a stroke of fortune, its life might just remain this way.

Yet, this so-called Blood Purifying Pill could actually improve its bloodline. In this way, it might become one of the few Purple Crystal Winged Lion Kings to advance to the Seventh Tier—truly a way to bring honor to its ancestors!

"Then I shall not disturb the Lion King any further. Farewell."

"Farewell."

The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King did not linger, returning to its cave dwelling at the fastest speed and ordering its subordinates to guard strictly, so that no one could disturb its breakthrough to the Seventh Tier.

On the other side, Xiao Yan finally thought of the main business.

"Teacher, during the day, why did you make me leave directly without even wanting the Companion Purple Crystal Source?"

Hearing these words, Yao Lao was silent at first, then as if he had let go of his concerns, "Fine, then I will explain it to you."
