Chapter 66: This King… Got Ridden by a Human?!
As the soft moonlight faded, the warm morning sun shone down on Wu Tian, Yun Yun, and the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, who was still in relentless pursuit behind them.
That's right Wu Tian and the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King had been chasing each other for half a day.
At this point, they had practically toured the entire Magic Beast Mountain Range, looping around countless times.
Even as Dou Huang experts, keeping up this chase was exhausting.
And yet, strangely enough, neither Wu Tian nor the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King showed any signs of slowing down. Instead, the intensity of the chase only escalated.
Throughout the pursuit, other magical beasts occasionally tried to interfere, but none could slow Wu Tian down.
After all, besides the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, the strongest of these beasts were only Rank Four.
No Rank Five beasts had joined in perhaps because they had ambitions of claiming the throne of the Magic Beast Mountain Range themselves.
At this point, it was no longer a battle it was a full on chase.
Wu Tian's wings required Dou Qi to maintain, while the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King naturally had wings of its own and relied purely on physical stamina.
Driven by the need to reclaim its stolen cub, the beast grew increasingly frantic, attacking Wu Tian relentlessly, trying to knock him out of the sky.
Meanwhile, Wu Tian held onto Yun Yun not because he enjoyed the feeling of holding her soft body (which, of course, was quite nice, but he wouldn't say that out loud).
The real reason? Yun Yun's seal was about to break.
Being held while dissolving a seal this was definitely a first in the Dou Qi Continent.
Her face was flushed red, like a ripe apple dripping with dew.
Beads of sweat formed on her delicate body, masking a certain… inexplicable moisture.
Yun Yun trembled slightly in Wu Tian's arms.
She tried to hide it, but with their bodies pressed so closely together, how could Wu Tian not notice?
With a puzzled look, he asked, "Did the seal break?"
Lowering her head slightly, Yun Yun softly replied, "Mmm… It's broken."
"..."
Broken?
What exactly broke?
"…Should you let me go now?" Yun Yun whispered, her gaze briefly lost in thought.
"Alright." Wu Tian nodded indifferently and released her waist.
As he let go, Yun Yun gracefully soared forward, her body leaving behind a faint, lingering fragrance.
A pair of elegant wings unfolded behind her, matching Wu Tian's own like a couple's wings.
In midair, her figure was breathtaking graceful, stunning, mesmerizing.
Her eyes locked onto the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, her gaze instantly shifting from gentle warmth to sharp determination.
With a flick of her hand, a strange, elegant longsword appeared.
Pointing it at the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, she spoke coldly, "You've chased us long enough. Haven't you had enough? But… I really should thank you."
The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King froze.
I just want my son back what the hell are you thanking me for?!
"You two have gone too far! I don't care if you're both Dou Huangs! If you don't return my son, I'll drag you both to hell with me!"
The beast's furious roar shook the sky.
With a deafening explosion, a massive surge of purple energy blasted toward Yun Yun.
As its gigantic wings flapped, the dense forest below was instantly reduced to ruins.
Two streaks of light one azure, one purple clashed fiercely in the sky.
A brutal battle erupted at an altitude of over a thousand meters.
Wu Tian?
He just stood to the side, watching.
And he had to watch!
Without any Dou Qi techniques, his normal attacks though strong risked accidentally hitting Yun Yun.
As for close combat with the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King?
No thanks!
That would likely result in him getting beaten so hard that his soul would be forced out of his body.
If that happened, he'd be stuck inside Cai Lin's tiny body, watching the world go by…
That would be tragic!
As the battle intensified, Wu Tian grew slightly anxious.
It was broad daylight, and under the scorching sun, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's fire based Dou Qi was at its peak.
Though it had burned a lot of energy during the chase, the sunlight only made its flames stronger.
Meanwhile, Yun Yun's wind based techniques were at a disadvantage there was almost no wind today.
Damn it… So in the future, before fighting someone of equal strength, I should check the weather forecast first?
Yun Yun flapped her azure wings, her longsword tracing a bizarre arc through the air.
In an instant, her sword trembled, and a cold, sharp voice escaped her lips.
"Wind's Limit Meteoric Death!"
Upon hearing her battle cry, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King panicked.
It instantly dodged sideways.
It had suffered from this attack before its horn had been sliced clean off.
If it got hit again, the consequences would be severe either serious injury or outright death.
However…
Just as it dodged, a shadow appeared above it.
That shadow was none other than Wu Tian.
The moment he appeared, the beast realized Yun Yun's attack was just a feint!
She hadn't actually unleashed her most powerful Dou Technique.
By the time the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King figured it out, it was already too late.
Its gigantic pupils trembled.
Purple flames erupted from its body in a desperate attempt to burn this cunning human alive.
But…
Something unbelievable happened.
The moment Wu Tian came into contact with the flames nothing happened.
The furious, scorching purple fire was completely nullified by the azure flames surrounding Wu Tian.
One was a beast fire.
The other was an Heavenly Flame.
The difference between them was like heaven and earth.
Wu Tian didn't hesitate.
With no concern for physical attacks from the beast, he dived straight through the purple flames.
The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's heart sank.
I'm doomed…
Its strongest ability its fire was completely useless against this human.
The gap between them was too vast.
No matter what this human did next, the result would be tragic for the beast.
But then…
Something even more shocking happened.
Wu Tian didn't attack.
He didn't even raise a hand.
Instead…
He landed directly on the beast's back.
The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's massive eyes widened in disbelief.
It blinked once.
Then twice.
It could feel something strange.
It could sense what had just happened.
And then, a horrifying realization dawned upon it.
"HOLY THIS HUMAN DIDN'T ATTACK ME… HE RODE ME?!"
"WHAT THE THIS HUMAN JUST MOUNTED ME?!"
