Chapter 240 You've got some nerve!
"Damn it, is this never going to end?!"

Feeling the heat wave coming from behind, the handsome young man in the black armor gritted his teeth. Flames spewed from his leg armor, which increased his already exaggerated speed by another level!
Without a doubt, the young man being chased by the Amethyst Winged Lion King is none other than Xiao Yan, now a six-star Dou Shi!
After realizing that he couldn't avoid the Purple Flame no matter which way he went, Xiao Yan had no more hesitation and finally decided to accept his fate, going to the territory of the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King several months in advance to find out what was going on.

He didn't know until he investigated, and what he found was actually an opportunity!
Because when he infiltrated this area, there happened to be a peak fifth-tier magical beast attempting to break through.

Moreover, the place where it broke through was located on the edge of the territory of the Amethyst Winged Lion King, in a valley rich in energy.

Although sixth-tier magical beasts like the Amethyst Winged Lion King have long since developed intelligence and can speak human language, they are still, in essence, ferocious beasts whose wild nature has not been extinguished. They follow the primitive law of the survival of the fittest and have an extremely strong sense of territory.

Therefore, it could not tolerate other magical beasts challenging its authority, nor could it allow this magical beast to successfully break through and take away its original territory for nothing.

So the Amethyst Winged Lion King rushed over aggressively, ready to nip the threat in the bud.

But to its surprise, the peak fifth-tier magical beast that was breaking through actually had two brothers who were also fifth-tier.

These two fifth-tier magical beasts were protecting their elder brother when they saw the Amethyst Winged Lion King arrive. Naturally, they were both surprised and furious, and unsurprisingly, a great battle broke out between them.

Xiao Yan was both surprised and delighted when he sensed the energy fluctuations of the battle.

Without hesitation, he took action and seized the opportunity to sneak into the lair of the Amethyst Winged Lion King, stealing the Amethyst Spirit Stone and the Amethyst Source that should have belonged to the Amethyst Winged Lion cub, just like in the original story.

The moment the symbiotic amethyst source was knocked open, both the Amethyst Winged Lion King and the lured-away cubs noticed something amiss.

Both were furious and charged angrily at the thief who had stolen the treasure.

However, the current Amethyst Winged Lion cub is only at the third level. Xiao Yan does not need to rely on Yao Lao's power; he only needs to put on the armor to easily defeat the little guy.

However, the sixth-tier amethyst winged lion king that followed was not so simple.

Xiao Yan hadn't expected this guy to arrive so quickly.

Basically, he had just defeated the smaller one when the larger one appeared on his head.

It's unclear whether this guy unleashed a burst of inner power, instantly annihilating the three fifth-tier magical beasts, or whether, in a fit of rage, he abandoned his formidable enemy and headed straight for the burning backyard...

Regardless, the arrival of the Amethyst Winged Lion King is a fact.

Without a second thought, Xiao Yan darted out of the cave and fled towards the edge of the Monster Mountain Range.

"So what if I stole your son's snacks and took a purple spirit stone with me? Is it really necessary to act like a wronged woman and relentlessly pursue me like this?"

As Xiao Yan fled at top speed, he cursed under his breath.

Of course, he was just venting; he definitely wouldn't dare to actually say it.

After all, Xiao Yan knew how serious his actions were.

There's no need to elaborate on the Purple Spirit Stone. The Amethyst Winged Lion King can only shed a small piece every twenty years. In the original story, Yun Yun didn't hesitate to fight a great battle with this sixth-tier magical beast just for this thing.

The snacks that Xiao Yan mentioned were actually the companion amethyst source, which was even more precious than amethyst stones.

This thing was born at the same time as the cub of the Amethyst Winged Lion King and contains enormous power. As long as the cub grows to the fourth rank and swallows the accompanying Amethyst Source, it can instantly increase one rank and become a fifth-rank magical beast.

Such exaggerated efficacy is no less than that of elixirs of grade six or higher.

It's no wonder that the Amethyst Winged Lion King was so furious and determined to devour Xiao Yan alive.

"boom!"

Another pillar of purple fire came crashing down from above.

Xiao Yan quickly dodged and continued running forward at the same speed.

"Teacher, it seems this guy isn't going to let me off the hook!"

As Xiao Yan ran, he asked in a low voice, "You've been watching the show for so long, isn't it time to make your move?"

The old man said leisurely, "Have you forgotten? I told you long ago that once you enter the Monster Mountain Range, you have to rely on yourself for everything. Unless it's a matter of life and death, I will never take action."

"what?"

Xiao Yan's eyes widened as he stared urgently at the purple sea of ​​fire beside him:
"Isn't this a matter of life and death?"

"What do you say?"

Old Yao rolled his eyes and said irritably, "That Amethyst Winged Lion King was indeed chasing you a bit too closely, but were you even slightly injured?"

"Leaving aside other matters, let's just talk about the armor you're wearing. Its defensive strength is unparalleled in my life. Even the purple flames of the Amethyst Winged Lion King couldn't harm it!"

"With this on me, even if I can't defeat or kill them, I'll at least be able to escape!"

Hearing Yao Lao's slow and deliberate words, Xiao Yan became anxious and quickly tried to explain.

The black power armor he was wearing was a specially customized version that he bought from Lin Yu.

The armor is made of top-grade magic steel ingots, and also incorporates various other materials such as lava steel and fire crystals, which maximizes the armor's fire resistance.

Facing this fire-attribute monster right now is actually a good match for my expertise.

Unfortunately, Xiao Yan customized this power armor primarily to assist the Burning Flame Technique and increase the success rate of devouring different flames. Therefore, apart from fire and magic resistance, the armor's amplification capabilities are not outstanding, and its offensive methods are quite lacking. If the Amethyst Winged Lion King reacts and uses abilities other than fire, the outcome could be unpredictable!
Upon hearing Xiao Yan's words, Yao Lao suddenly realized that he had misunderstood the armor's abilities.

Even so, he still showed no intention of making a move. Instead, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will naturally make a move when you can no longer hold on."

"As for now, let's savor this life-or-death crisis!"

The words of the old man with a slight smile reached Xiao Yan's ears, causing him to grit his teeth and unable to help but say:

"Teacher, you win!"

"Humph!"

The old apothecary snorted softly and said leisurely, "You've had it too easy on your path before; it's time for some tempering!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan couldn't help but roll his eyes. No matter how smoothly things went for him, he was still only a six-star Dou Shi. Who would use a sixth-order magical beast comparable to a Dou Huang to train their Dou Shi disciple?

But then again, without this powerful sixth-tier magical beast, Xiao Yan would hardly be able to experience this feeling now.

However, Yao Lao still misunderstood. Xiao Yan wanted him to take action not only to escape the pursuit of the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, but also to quickly give the Companion Purple Crystal Source to Lin Yu so that he could obtain more flames.

Now that Yao Lao was unwilling to take action, Xiao Yan could only flee while putting the Purple Crystal Source into a red envelope and sending it to Lin Yu.

The moment the red envelope was sent, the jade pendant at Xiao Yan's waist suddenly emitted a silver light, and a beautiful figure floating in the air appeared in his mind.

"..."

Xiao Yan was slightly taken aback, then his pupils shrank sharply, his face filled with astonishment.

"is her?!"

"How could she be here?!"

Once he came to his senses, Xiao Yan gritted his teeth, disregarding his suspicions about the other party's whereabouts, and immediately shouted:

"If you continue to stand idly by, this hard-won purple spirit stone will have to be returned to its rightful owner!"

"..."

Upon hearing this, the sky fell silent for a moment, then the whistling of the wind and the soft ringing of swords could be heard.

The next second, a sharp cyan sword beam descended from the sky, blocking the purple fire that was spewing out.

Xiao Yan stopped abruptly and turned around to see a graceful figure in a plain dress slowly descending. Her long, flowing hair was styled into a magnificent phoenix hair ornament, and she held a long sword with a blue glow in her hand. Illusory blue wings were gathered behind her, and her beautiful face calmly and serenely gazed at the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King above.

Seeing this, Xiao Yan's expression was complicated, and he had already realized the identity of the person who came.

It was none other than Yun Yun, the sect leader of the Yunlan Sect who used the alias Yun Zhi in the original novel!
However, according to the plot, Yun Yun should not appear in the Monster Mountain Range for another four months. Why did she appear early today and coincidentally save me...?

Could this be destiny?
Just as Xiao Yan stared blankly at Yun Yun, the Amethyst Winged Lion King in the sky let out a furious roar, its wings wreathed in purple flames, unleashing a sea of ​​blazing fire, and angrily questioned:
"Human woman, how dare you oppose me?!"

Yun Yun, sword in hand, replied coldly, "What is there to be afraid of?!"

After speaking, she glanced at the handsome young man behind her with a complex expression, her gaze lingering briefly on the jade pendant at her waist, before calmly saying:
"Little guy, don't be so reckless next time you encounter a situation like this."

"At such a young age, you were able to pinpoint the whereabouts of a Dou Huang with a single word. Such an astonishing act makes it obvious to anyone that you possess a great treasure."

“If it were someone else, even if they could help you escape this beast's clutches, they would definitely force you to hand over the treasure afterward…”

Xiao Yan retorted, "Wouldn't you do the same?"

Yun Yun remained silent for a moment, then slowly said, "I only want the Purple Spirit Stone in your hand."

Sure enough, this guy had his eye on the Purple Spirit Stone all along...

Judging from this, her appearance today was probably to scout out the location in advance, preparing for her move four months later.

As Xiao Yan thought this to himself, he gave Yun Yun a deep look.

"it is good!"

He suddenly spoke, saying calmly, "You helped me escape, and I will reward you with purple spirit stones. That's fair."

Upon hearing the handsome young man's answer, Yun Yun's expression softened, and her gaze towards him became much gentler.

"Don't worry, I only want the Purple Spirit Stone. As for the rest, that's your secret, and I won't ask about it..."

"is it?"

Just then, a slightly amused voice suddenly rang out, causing Xiao Yan's body to tremble and his face to show astonishment. Yun Yun's pupils also shrank, and she retreated dozens of meters, looking at the source of the voice with a wary expression.

Behind Xiao Yan, a handsome young man in white robes appeared out of nowhere, standing with his hands behind his back, smiling as he looked at her and said:

"Taking advantage of someone's misfortune, they've even dared to attack my people..."

"Little girl, you've got some nerve!"
