Chapter 56: A Sister from the Sky
A deep purple energy pillar shot through the sky at lightning speed, moving so fast it seemed to teleport across the battlefield.
With just two flashes, it appeared right in front of Yun Yun.
"Amethyst Seal!"
As the blinding purple light filled the air, the deep voice of the Amethyst Winged Lion King echoed across the mountains.
At that very moment, Yun Yun's expression changed drastically.
Sensing imminent danger, she didn't hesitate
She immediately unleashed her strongest battle technique.
"Wind Rift Dance!"
With a crisp chant, the air around her trembled.
Dozens of massive dark green wind blades each one over ten meters long materialized out of thin air.
These blades spiraled together, forming a gigantic vortex of spinning blades, moving at terrifying speed toward the oncoming energy pillar.
BOOM!
The collision between the Amethyst Seal and Wind Rift Dance distorted space itself.
Like two meteors colliding, their impact sent shockwaves rippling through the sky.
But
There was no contest.
The moment the two forces clashed
Yun Yun's wind vortex began to break apart.
Within seconds, the sharp wind blades shattered, scattering into the air like fragile glass.
Her remaining defenses crumbled one by one, the purple pillar tearing through layer after layer of wind barriers
Until it finally struck her directly.
The moment it hit, Yun Yun felt her body go numb.
The seal had successfully invaded her system!
Just then
The Amethyst Winged Lion King lunged forward, raising a massive claw, aiming straight for Yun Yun's chest!
If that attack landed, it wouldn't just be devastating
It would completely ruin a masterpiece of nature!
But
Despite being heavily injured, Yun Yun was not so easily defeated.
Just before the claw struck, her elegant sword trembled, releasing a thin, nearly invisible beam of light.
"Wind's Limit Meteor Slash!"
The moment the attack appeared, even space itself trembled.
The razor sharp beam of light sliced toward the Amethyst Winged Lion King's head.
But the beast was shockingly fast
With a slight tilt of its head, it managed to avoid a fatal strike.
Instead
SLASH!
The attack struck its spiraled horn, slicing off nearly half of it!
"ROOOOAAAAAR!!!"
The agonized roar of the Amethyst Winged Lion King shook the entire mountain range.
Enraged, it swung its massive claw downward
And though Yun Yun managed to dodge slightly, she still took a glancing hit to her chest.
SCCCCCRRRRREEEEECHHH!
The impact produced a deafening metallic screech, like a blade scraping against steel.
Even though the attack had been weakened, Yun Yun spat out a mouthful of blood.
Her face paled, and her body trembled
Then
With a final flap of her wings, she turned and fled into the distance.
Meanwhile
The Amethyst Winged Lion King clutched its damaged horn, roaring with pure rage.
"Find her! I don't care what it takes FIND THAT HUMAN WOMAN!"
Its blood red eyes scanned the forest below, its fury so intense that it made the entire mountain range tremble.
The beasts of the forest no, the entire Magical Beast Mountain Range responded immediately.
A massive search operation began.
The ground rumbled violently under the combined movement of thousands of beasts, while the sky darkened as flying magical creatures spread out like a wave, scanning every inch of the land.
Then
Another furious roar echoed through the mountains:
"CURSE YOU, HUMANS! YOU HAD A PARTNER?!
RETURN MY AMETHYST SOURCE!
RETURN MY AMETHYST CRYSTAL!
RETURN MY SON!!"
The entire mountain range shook once more.
The Amethyst Winged Lion King took off into the air, scanning the area for any traces of its lost possessions.
Other magical beasts grew even more frenzied.
After all
If the Lion King's cub was successfully raised, the Magical Beast Mountain Range would soon have two Dou Kings
And that meant no more fear of humans.
But now
Their future king had been stolen.
Who else could be responsible but the human woman?
Thus
The entire forest erupted into chaos, with magical beasts attacking any human they found.
Adventurers and mercenaries, sensing the escalating danger, fled toward the outer regions in terror.
Even nearby villages and towns fell into panic, fearing that the magical beasts might soon invade human territory.
Meanwhile
Back in Qingshan Town, Xiao Yi Xian had just received the news.
Upon hearing about the chaos in the Magical Beast Mountain Range, she smiled slightly, her delicate face tinged with amusement.
"It must be that domineering guy's fault."
"After all "
"Everything he does is ridiculously over the top."
Meanwhile, Wu Tian…
Unlike everyone else, Wu Tian was feeling extremely satisfied.
Though he hadn't managed to play the fisherman's role
He had still gained plenty.
Not only did he obtain the Amethyst Source, but he also got his hands on the Amethyst Crystal
And, of course, he kidnapped a baby lion.
A successful trip, indeed.
Currently, Wu Tian had arrived at a mountain gorge deep within the Magical Beast Mountain Range.
At the bottom of the valley, a small lake shimmered under the sunlight.
Several waterfalls cascaded down the cliffs, feeding into the pristine blue waters below.
From here, the lake's waters flowed into a wide river, leading further downstream.
This place was perfect
A natural hot spring bath!
Wu Tian grinned to himself.
"I haven't bathed properly in days... might as well clean up before I meet my wife."
He had already planned it out
Step one: Take a refreshing bath.
Step two: Go behind the waterfall into a hidden cave.
Step three: Feed Queen Medusa the Amethyst Source.
Step four: If Medusa briefly regains her human form…
"Hehehe…"
"Let's just say things might get interesting."
Wu Tian stripped off his clothes and prepared to enjoy a relaxing soak.
But just as he was about to step into the water
WHOOSH!
A shadow suddenly fell from the sky!
Wu Tian's eyes widened in surprise.
"What the ?!"
He looked up
And the next moment, his expression twisted into pure disbelief.
Above him
A heavily injured Yun Yun was falling straight toward him!
Wu Tian's eye twitched, and an old song popped into his head
"A sister fell from the sky…"
