Seeing the noble Yun Yun, Xiao Jue's eyes lit up. Perhaps after killing the Amethyst Winged Lion King, he could try to make Yun Yun move on his own in this position.
Yun Yun's Dou Qi transformed into liquid and flew towards the Amethyst Winged Lion King's cave. Xiao Jue spread his dragon wings and followed behind her. Surprise flickered in Yun Yun's eyes when she saw Xiao Jue taking flight as well.
After a moment, they stopped and their gaze swept over the massive mountain not far away. Atop the mountain, a large cave entrance loomed beneath a veil of branches.
Yun Yun's gaze slowly scanned the area surrounding the cave, her brow furrowed slightly. "The surrounding defenses have become much stronger. I guess that guy has increased his vigilance as well."
Yun Yun flapped her wings behind her, and her graceful body leaped lightly into the air, then darted towards the cave entrance with lightning speed.
Yun Yun's presence was unconcealed, so as soon as she entered the cave a hundred meters or so, waves of beastly roars echoed across the mountains.
With a clench of her jade hand, a strange azure longsword materialized within her grasp. Yun Zhi transformed into a flash of azure light and shadow, instantly swooping into the dense forest surrounding the cave.
Suddenly, waves of shrill beastly roars erupted, sending numerous magical beasts fleeing in panic. In the hands of a Dou Huang, these ferocious beasts had no chance to display their ferocity.
"Human woman! How dare you show yourself?! Today, I will take your life to avenge the destruction of your horn!"
Within the vast cave, the furious roar of the Amethyst Winged Lion King suddenly resounded through the sky.
With that roar, a streak of purple light and shadow shot out from the cave like lightning, slamming into the dense forest. Suddenly, a burst of light erupted, instantly shattering the dense forest into a shattered mess.
The dense forest was shattered. Two rays of light, one blue and one purple, chased each other through the sky, then engaged in a fierce clash a thousand meters above.
"Yin Yang Destroy!"
Xiao Jue's eyes flickered with black and white flames, respectively. The power of the Yin and Yang flames was mobilized a tiny bit, and the Amethyst Winged Lion King, battling Yun Yun in the sky, instantly collapsed into fragments and fell to the ground.
"You!"
Yun Yun couldn't help but stare wide-eyed in shock. "What kind of strength do you have?"
Xiao Jue's fighting spirit was nearly depleted, but his expression remained impassive. He tossed two Qi-restoring pills into his mouth and swallowed them, chuckling softly. "It was barely an instant kill, not worth mentioning."
He flew over and collected the shattered body of the Amethyst Winged Lion King into his storage ring. The Amethyst Winged Lion King's corpse could later be used to refine essence and blood, and it also contained a sixth-level magic core.
Xiao Jue and Yun Yun then headed towards the Amethyst Winged Lion King's cave. Yun Yun dispatched most of the magical beasts guarding the cave entrance, but due to the short time available, two third-tier magical beasts remained, hiding at the back.
However, upon seeing Xiao Jue and Yun Yun appear, they fled without waiting for Yun Yun to make a move.
Xiao Jue exuded a hint of the aura of a high-level magical beast, and before Yun Yun could make a move, they fled. Xiao Jue turned to Yun Yun and said, "Help me extract the magical cores from these magical beasts."
"You!" Yun Yun couldn't help but glare at Xiao Jue, for actually asking her to do such a thing.

But she obediently went ahead. With her longsword, she split the heads of the dead monsters one by one, plucked up the magic cores with the tip of her sword, and stored them in her ring.
Entering the cave, the light wasn't as dim as she'd expected. Purple crystals dotted the surrounding mountain walls.
These crystals were a natural product of the cave. In the human world, these amethysts were considered rare decorative items, highly valuable.
The deep, spacious cavern, adorned with these amethysts, was incredibly beautiful. After walking through the long cavern, two paths forked before her.
Xiao Jue headed for the left passage, which twisted and turned. The temperature grew hotter as she approached.
Arriving inside, she surveyed the area, her gaze finally settling on the center of the cavern. There, amethyst stones, over a meter tall, formed a square platform. Atop this platform, a purple sphere, roughly the size of Xiao Jue's head, sat quietly.
The Amethyst Winged Lion King is a beast of exceptional talent, otherwise it would be difficult to become a sixth-tier magical beast. Whenever this beast gives birth, there's a very small chance that it will also produce this Companion Amethyst Source along with its young.
Because this Companion Amethyst Source spends an extremely long time within the lion's belly, the pure energy it contains is truly magnificent. Once a young beast grows to a fourth-tier magical beast, simply consuming this Companion Amethyst Source will instantly transform it into a fifth-tier magical beast. Furthermore, the purple fire within its body will be even more powerful than that of other Amethyst Winged Lions that haven't consumed this Companion Amethyst Source!
A wisp of black and white flame appeared at Xiao Jue's fingertips. As his fingertips descended, the amethyst platform instantly burned. Xiao Jue stored the purple orb atop it into his storage ring.
Xiao Jue then proceeded to another passage, where a smaller Amethyst Winged Lion King lay sprawled on the ground, peacefully sleeping.
Xiao Jue stepped forward, emitting the aura of a Phantom Fire Scorpion Dragon Beast. The little Amethyst Winged Lion King immediately curled up on the ground and rolled into a corner.
Where the little Amethyst Winged Lion King lay, Xiao Jue crouched slightly, reached out, and gently tapped on a dozen nearby amethyst stones.
As his fingers tapped a nearby amethyst, a hollow, soft sound echoed from below.
Hearing the sound, Xiao Jue's right hand swiftly fumbled and pried open the stone slab. Suddenly, a burst of purple light burst out, revealing a fist-sized, irregular, sharp purple spirit stone quietly nestled within. A shimmering light shone from the purple spirit stone, a breathtaking display of beauty.
Waving the purple spirit crystal away, Xiao Jue stepped aside, picked up the little Amethyst Winged Lion King, and left. After all, it was a cub of the Warcraft Overlord, capable of becoming at least a fifth-tier Warcraft, with the potential to become a sixth-tier Warcraft, fetching considerable value.
It's a pity that the Companion Purple Crystal Source can't be given to it. Xiao Jue plans to keep it for himself and at most give Xiao Yan a little bit. Otherwise, after the Little Purple Crystal Winged Lion King breaks through the fourth level and swallows the Companion Purple Crystal Source, it may grow into a seventh-level magical beast in the future.
Yun Yun saw Xiao Jue carrying the Little Purple Crystal Winged Lion King out and hurriedly asked, "Did you get the Purple Spirit Crystal?"
"Yes." Xiao Jue nodded and flew away with the Little Purple Crystal Winged Lion King. Along the way, the little guy probably realized that the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King was dead. He howled non-stop and even opened his mouth to bite Xiao Jue.
After returning to the cave, Yun Yun sighed, "This little guy must know that we killed the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, so there is no way he will surrender."
"Then don't tame it." Xiao Jue said, extending his right hand, and his index finger turned black and white. He directly stabbed it into the little Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's eyebrows, killing it.
