Battle Through the Heavens: Purple Heaven Thunder Emperor

Chapter 129 Humans, release my son!

Beside the waterfall, the warm morning light shines on the rising water vapor, emitting a dreamlike rainbow of colors.

A figure in black robes stood at the entrance of the cave, hands behind his back, quietly watching the scene. Thinking that he would have to part ways after finishing his business today, he couldn't help but feel a little melancholy.

"Let's go!" A beautiful figure emerged from the cave behind them, her lovely eyes looking at the white-haired man in front of her. After a moment of contemplation, she spoke, her voice clear and elegant.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Bai turned around, looked the woman up and down, and a glint of light appeared in his eyes.

Yunzhi had changed into a plain blue and white dress. Her long black hair, which had been hanging loosely for the past few days, was now gathered together and styled into a phoenix hair ornament.

Her beautiful face was serene and elegant, completely devoid of the fragility of the previous days. Her slender figure was graceful and noble, with a touch of arrogance amidst her cool demeanor, making one feel ashamed of their own appearance!

"Excellent! Excellent! This is the demeanor of a Dou Huang powerhouse!" Xiao Bai stroked his chin, nodding in praise as he looked him over.

Yunzhi couldn't hold back for a moment, her calm and elegant expression vanished, and she glared at him irritably. What do you mean by "this is right"? She was originally a Dou Huang!

After spending the past few days together, she had gotten to know the guy in front of her a bit. He was domineering but not annoying, a bit lecherous but self-disciplined and polite, and gentle and considerate when taking care of people. Sometimes he was also a little rascal!

They showed no respect or fear whatsoever for the fact that she was a Dou Huang powerhouse!

He seemed completely unconcerned about her threats, and if she spoke to him with a stern face, his expression would be even colder than hers!

His temper is even worse than hers; anyone who didn't know better would think he was the Dou Huang!

As the sect leader of Yunlan Sect, she had never seen a man put on a sour face in front of her before. Only this little guy was so unrestrained in front of her, and she couldn't do anything about him!

She gave him a slight glare, then stepped forward with graceful, swaying steps that were quite captivating.

"Be careful on this trip, don't be reckless, and prioritize your own safety!" She gently raised her beautiful eyes, looking at his handsome face, and softly reminded him, "I'll try my best to hold it off, but you also need to hurry; that beast's intelligence is no less than that of a human!"

"Okay! Be careful too, don't get sealed like last time!" Xiao Bai nodded, his eyes full of smiles.

"You jinx!" Yunzhi glared at him and scolded him.

"Haha, let's go!" Xiao Bai laughed loudly, seeing her charming and alluring appearance amidst her anger.

"Hmm!" Yunzhi nodded slightly, and a pair of azure energy wings extended from behind her in an instant. She was about to leap up when suddenly she felt her arm being pulled. She turned her head and looked at Xiao Bai in confusion.

"Have you forgotten something?" Xiao Bai asked with a deep look in his eyes.

Yunzhi frowned slightly, lost in thought, when she suddenly caught a glimpse of Xiao Bai reaching out his hands as if to hug her. She immediately took a step back, a little embarrassed and annoyed, and said, "What are you doing?"

"It's so far, are you expecting me to run all the way there?" Xiao Bai asked incredulously, his eyes wide.

Only then did Yunzhi realize that he couldn't fly. Her eyelashes trembled violently, and she felt a little helpless. She lowered her eyes and nodded slightly.

Xiao Bai's lips curled up slightly. He stepped forward, reached out and embraced her slender waist, pulling her into his arms.

Yunzhi's body stiffened for a moment, then relaxed, though she trembled slightly and her heart raced a little.

"Let's go!" Xiao Bai said, leaning down to whisper in her earlobe.

Feeling the warm breath against her ear, Yunzhi trembled violently, her legs went weak, and she said in a trembling voice, "Don't speak in my ear!"

He then threatened, "You'd better behave yourself, or I'll throw you off the plane!"

After saying that, his wings flapped behind him, a flash of blue light appeared, and he flew into the air.

Yunzhi kept a straight face and increased her speed to the maximum. When she saw that his hands did not move around, but just gently held her, and there was even a little distance between them, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Seeing her relieved expression, Xiao Bai smiled faintly and said, "Afraid I'll take advantage of you? Don't worry, I'm not that despicable!"

He just wanted to take the opportunity to get closer to her, not to take advantage of her. He wanted her heart, not just to have a moment of pleasure!

Hearing his slightly arrogant words, Yunzhi thought about how they had spent the past few days together. He was indeed very proud and would never stoop to doing anything sordid. If he really had such intentions, she would probably have been taken advantage of a few days ago.

Thinking of this, her pretty face gradually relaxed. She wanted to say something, but her lips moved a few times and she still didn't say anything.

"Are you feeling a little guilty for doubting me earlier?" Xiao Bai keenly caught the fleeting look in her eyes, smiled mischievously, and asked teasingly.

Yunzhi blushed, her flying body swayed, and that mischievous grin made her a little angry and embarrassed: "Shut up! Don't talk to me!"

"Haha." Xiao Bai chuckled for a moment upon seeing her expression, but then he felt a sense of impending doom. He quickly suppressed his laughter and cried out urgently, "Hey, Yunzhi, fly faster! Don't crash!"

"Hmph. Let's see if you dare to laugh again!" Although she didn't know what the plane crash meant, seeing his panicked expression, Yunzhi instantly felt happy. Then she circulated her battle qi and continued to fly forward.

"I won't do it again, I won't do it again!" Xiao Bai wiped away his cold sweat. This woman actually made him play freefall in the air.

Seeing him breathe a sigh of relief as if he had escaped a disaster, Yunzhi's rosy lips curled up, her eyes full of smiles. The little guy had been making her angry these past few days, and today he finally got his revenge!

A moment later, they arrived at their destination. Yunzhi landed silently on a rocky hilltop. Xiao Bai gently released her and looked down at the cave that was faintly visible on the opposite mountain peak.

"That's the Amethyst Winged Lion King's lair!" Yunzhi followed his gaze, then glanced around and whispered, "The defenses around here are much tighter now. It seems that guy has become more vigilant!"

Xiao Bai nodded, sensed his surroundings, and found three auras of fifth-tier magical beasts guarding the cave in a triangular formation, while the rest were magical beasts below the fifth tier.

"I will try my best to kill or wound those high-level magical beasts later. You should find a suitable route to sneak into the cave when the time is right!" Yunzhi instructed.

He reached out and touched the ring, and a cyan longsword appeared in his hand. As he leaped away, he turned to Xiao Bai and whispered, "You must be careful!"

"Got it! If you can't beat that big lion, then fight it at length. Use your wind attribute advantage to your advantage. Don't be stupid and fight it head-on. We'll talk about everything after I get the Purple Spirit Crystal!" Xiao Bai waved his hand, urging her to hurry up.

Yunzhi looked at the guy who was teaching her how to do things, shook her head with amusement, stopped talking nonsense, gripped her long sword, transformed into a streak of green light, and rushed towards the cave opposite.

Xiao Bai glanced around, completely ignoring the magical beasts, chose the shortest path, and with a flash of lightning beneath his feet, headed directly towards the opposite mountain range.

Yunzhi made no attempt to conceal her figure. As soon as she appeared above the cave entrance, a series of beast roars echoed throughout the area.

As she brandished her longsword, streaks of azure light flashed through the dense forest surrounding the cave, accompanied by mournful roars and screams of beasts as they fled in panic in all directions.

"Human woman, how dare you show your face again! Today I will avenge the destruction of your horn!"

Just as Yunzhi was slaughtering the low-level magical beasts with ease, a purple light shot out from the cave, accompanied by a furious roar that echoed through the sky.

Then, two beams of light, one blue and one purple, collided repeatedly and headed up to a thousand meters in the sky. The originally light blue sky was instantly dyed with blue and purple energy, emitting strong fluctuations.

After glancing at the battle above, Xiao Bai stopped paying attention to it. The roaming magical beasts along the way didn't hinder him, but any that rushed towards him were instantly charred into pieces by the yellow lightning extending from his feet.

He walked leisurely, seemingly slowly, but each step covered ten meters. Gradually, a huge hole came into view.

Two third-tier magical beasts were huddled under a boulder at the cave entrance, trembling as they felt the oppressive aura emanating from above.

One of them seemed to spot a figure flickering as it approached, and couldn't help but let out a low growl.

Standing in front of the cave entrance, Xiao Bai glanced at the two magical beasts that were constantly growling at him in a low voice. The two third-tier magical beasts were suddenly stunned, their eyes glazed over, and they fell to the ground, instantly becoming silent.

After dealing with the two magical beasts, Xiao Bai stepped out and entered the cave. The light inside was not as dim as he had imagined. At intervals along the cave walls, there were purple crystal blocks that emitted a faint purple light.

As Xiao Bai moved forward, he looked around at the deep and spacious cave passage. The cave was decorated with purple crystals, making it extremely beautiful. He couldn't help but admire the lion's good taste and how it knew how to enjoy life!

After passing through the long cave, two forks appeared before them. Xiao Bai walked without stopping and disappeared into one of the paths. As for the other path, it led to the location of the symbiotic amethyst source.

Upon arriving at the last enormous cave space, one sees that the entire cave is inlaid with the same amethyst stones found outside, illuminating the entire cave space exceptionally brightly.

My gaze fell on the center of the cave, where a smaller amethyst winged lion king than the one outside was fast asleep, lying on a large piece of amethyst.

"Hey, wake up, move over and sleep somewhere else!" Xiao Bai walked over and kicked the little lion. He sensed that the purple spirit crystal that Yunzhi needed was under a purple crystal slab beneath the lion.

The little amethyst winged lion king opened its eyes groggily, looking at the uninvited guest in front of it with some confusion. Suddenly, it was startled and looked at the two-legged beast warily, sensing a dangerous aura from this human.

It hurriedly took a few steps back, its clear beastly eyes glaring angrily at Xiao Bai, and it let out a childish lion's roar.

"Hehe. The little thing is quite cute!" Xiao Bai saw that the little guy seemed to want to roar at him fiercely, but the voice he made was very childish and not as loud as the big guy outside.

Xiao Bai crouched down and, under the angry gaze of the little amethyst winged lion king, lifted a piece of amethyst stone slab where it had been lying, and took out a fist-sized, shimmering purple spirit crystal.

"So this is the Purple Spirit Crystal!" Xiao Bai examined the irregularly shaped, sharp crystal in his hand, feeling the scorching heat within it. He shook his head, saying that this thing was only effective against Dou Shi and Da Dou Shi, and was of little use beyond that.

After storing it in his storage ring, Xiao Bai looked at the little amethyst winged lion king again. After a moment's thought, he beckoned to it and said, "Come here!"

The Little Amethyst Winged Lion King has the potential to reach the sixth rank. Although it is currently only at the third rank, its intelligence is not low compared to that of a typical third rank. It can understand Xiao Bai's meaning, but it does not want to go there.

Just as it hesitated, an immense pressure appeared on it, almost crushing it to the ground.

The feeling vanished as quickly as it was felt. When it saw the human beckoning again, it didn't hesitate and slowly walked over. It knew that the human had just warned it.

"That's right, that's a good boy! Good children live longer, you know?" Xiao Bai rubbed its big head and said with a smile.

The little amethyst winged lion king trembled, nuzzled Xiao Bai's palm with a hint of ingratiation, and made a whimpering sound.

"Come here, let me plant something good in your head!" Xiao Bai stretched out a palm and covered the little amethyst winged lion king's forehead.

The little amethyst winged lion king instantly had a bad feeling, but it dared not resist and could only look at him with a pitiful expression.

Xiao Bai ignored its expression and unleashed his soul power from his palm, sealing its consciousness with a soul seal.

Since his soul power reached the perfection of the mortal realm, he has become more and more proficient in using soul seals. Now he no longer needs to form hand seals. As long as he has a thought, the seal can be completed!

"Too weak!" Xiao Bai sensed the strength of the soul within the Little Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's sea of ​​consciousness, and he had to be careful, lest he overexert himself and kill the little lion!

Monsters are inherently inferior to humans in terms of soul power, and this little amethyst winged lion king is only at the third rank, which corresponds to the cultivation level of a Great Dou Master in humans, so its soul power is really weak.

However, this little lion's physical body is quite good; it is not afraid of even a nine-star Grand Dou Master.

"Alright! Come with me, I'll take you to find your old man!" Xiao Bai chuckled and patted the little amethyst winged lion king's head before getting up and heading out of the cave.

Leading the little amethyst winged lion king out of the cave, Xiao Bai stood at the entrance, looking up at the battle in the sky, and narrowed his eyes.

Yunzhi didn't seem to be fully focused on the battle. Her eyes would occasionally glance towards the cave entrance, and when she saw that familiar figure in black robes, she breathed a sigh of relief, a hint of joy flashing in her eyes.

However, upon seeing the miniature version of the Amethyst Winged Lion King behind him, she frowned. She truly had no idea there was a smaller one in the cave, and a sense of unease crept into her heart.

"Human woman, how dare you be distracted while fighting me!" The Amethyst Winged Lion King roared, about to unleash his ultimate move, the Amethyst Seal, to seal her away once more. This time, she would definitely not be able to escape.

"Hey, you big lion in the sky, do you want to see who it is?" Seeing that Yunzhi was in danger, Xiao Bai hurriedly shouted, his voice mixed with fighting spirit, like thunder, echoing over the mountains.

The Amethyst Winged Lion King looked in the direction of the sound and saw a human sitting at the cave entrance, stroking its son's head with both hands. It immediately became alarmed:

"Human, release my son!"

Ignoring Yunzhi, he flashed and landed not far from the cave, glaring angrily at Xiao Bai.

Seeing this, Yunzhi quickly followed and landed beside Xiao Bai, looking at the Amethyst Winged Lion King with a wary expression.
