Breaking the Masked Man

Chapter 62 The Amethyst Winged Lion King

Taking advantage of the empty passageway, Yao Yan led Cai Die out. There was no strong wind blowing around them, because the wind attribute energy released by the giant magical bird beneath them would block out the gale during flight and turn it into an assist, making the flight speed even faster.

This is also the difference between flying magical beasts and ordinary giant birds. If it were a thick-winged bird, the wind sweeping in from all sides could make a person take off from the spot.

Yao Yan stretched and took a deep breath of the fresh air. His dark eyes looked at the distant Monster Mountain Range and the azure sky, and he chuckled, "The weather is nice, perfect for an outing."

"嘤嘤~"

Ling'er nestled on Yao Yan's shoulder and called out, her eyes sparkling as she gazed at the distant mountains. She could already sense the rich wood-attribute energy within them. Compared to the Tagor Desert, the Monster Mountain Range was undoubtedly paradise for her.

The butterfly swayed its slender tail, following closely beside Yao Yan. Its light blue eyes gazed into the distance. After a moment, it landed on Yao Yan and said softly, "Young Master, would you like me to carry you later?"

As she spoke, a smile appeared in her eyes, after all, Yao Yan's strength was not yet sufficient to transform his battle qi into wings.

"No, that's not necessary, but if you'd like, you can have a hug."

Yao Yan shook her head, declining Cai Die's offer, and at the same time spread her arms, indicating that Cai Die could pounce on her.

"Young master, please don't call for help later."

Cai Die rolled her eyes at Yao Yan, snorted, and a purple halo appeared on her back. The next moment, a pair of light purple battle aura wings unfolded. She lightly leaped into the air, then turned to look at Yao Yan, wanting to see how he would fly.

Yao Yan lightly stepped on the floor, and as his fighting spirit circulated beneath his feet, a rather domineering force exploded out from under his feet, causing him to leap into the air.

"gone!"

He called out to the colorful butterfly, and the energy beneath his feet exploded one after another, greatly increasing his speed. He shot off into the distance like lightning.

His posture was as if he were walking on air, and wherever he passed, waves of air rippled outwards.

The butterfly was quite surprised to see this, and immediately flapped its wings of battle aura, transforming into a purple streak of light as it chased after the beast.

……

Above the azure sky.

Two streaks of light, one after the other, flashed across the sky like stars chasing the moon, heading towards the endless mountain range of magical beasts.

Cai Die did not fly at full speed. She kept a distance from Yao Yan that allowed her to come to his aid at any time. At the same time, she looked at Yao Yan with great curiosity. She did not expect that Yao Yan could use such a unique fighting technique to fly. It seemed to be more than just a fighting technique. It also included his own physical strength.

The young master's body is very strong... She made a judgment in her mind as her eyes flickered.

In terms of fighting spirit alone, Yao Yan's fighting spirit is at most at the level of a nine-star Grand Dou Master, but his physical strength far exceeds that of a Grand Dou Master. If an ordinary nine-star Grand Dou Master dared to use such a physically demanding fighting technique so frequently, his legs would surely be ruined.

"No need to stop, just cross the Monster Mountain Range. My destination is on the other side of the Monster Mountain Range."

Yao Yan glanced at the colorful butterfly behind him, sent a message with his soul power, and then his power suddenly surged. With two air explosions, his figure appeared in the distance.

"??"

Cai Die was stunned. She hadn't expected that Yao Yan could accelerate things. Did his body have no limits?

She immediately flapped her battle wings and sped off to catch up.

The two flew for half an hour, and the scenery below had changed into a continuous mountain range. From the lush, dense forest, the roars of magical beasts could be heard from time to time.

Yao Yan ignored all of this; he only wanted to find the fragment of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame map. According to the original text, this fragment should be in the Monster Mountain Range near Qingshan Town. He was not yet sure of the location of Qingshan Town, but the location of Wutan City was clearly marked on the map.

By tracing the two points, one can roughly determine the location of Qingshan Town. Even if one cannot find it, one can go to Wutan City first, as it is also Yao Yan's destination for this trip.

"Roar!"

Suddenly, a roar resounded from ahead, accompanied by a surge of violent energy from heaven and earth. A demonic beast, its body radiating purple flames, soared into the sky from below and came into Yao Yan's sight.

This was a massive magical beast, seven or eight meters long, its body covered with a layer of purple crystals that shone brightly under the sunlight, extremely dazzling. On its head was a rather ferocious lion's head, with blood-red eyes that shimmered with a strange purple light, a huge mouth full of fangs, and a fiery red spiral horn on the top of the lion's head, with clusters of purple flames swirling and circling around the tip of the horn.

It has wings on its back, and with each flap of its purple wings, clusters of pale purple flames sweep out like flamethrowers, covering the sky and the earth. Its four thick claws are also covered with a layer of purple crystals, and each step it takes will make the void tremble. It is hard to imagine how powerful it is.

The opponent stood in the void, and an invisible pressure swept across the heavens and earth.

Yao Yan looked at the enormous demonic beast that appeared in the sky ahead, and suddenly withdrew the power under his feet, causing his speed to decrease rapidly until he floated in mid-air. This was naturally related to the movement technique he had practiced. Although You Long Yin was only a mid-level Xuan-rank movement technique, it could achieve short-term flight when mastered.

During his time in the Shennong Mountains, he had clearly mastered this Xuan-rank combat skill.

"The Amethyst Winged Lion King?!"

His gaze sharpened as he looked at the magical beast blocking his path, quite surprised.

Cai Die had already arrived beside Yao Yan, radiating the powerful aura of a Seven-Star Dou Huang. Her light blue eyes, no longer gentle as before, were now coldly fixed on the demonic beast blocking their path. At the same time, she whispered to Yao Yan, "What should we do?"

She was just imitating her sister to intimidate people. In terms of combat experience, she didn't have much, and she had never encountered a situation like this before, so she was inevitably a little nervous.

Yao Yan noticed Cai Die's unease and, with a slight urge, encouraged her, "The opponent is only a sixth-tier magical beast, the same tier as you. Why don't you go up and fight it, and see if you can force it to retreat!"

"I?!"

Upon hearing this, Cai Die blinked her beautiful peach blossom eyes and stared blankly at Yao Yan, somewhat bewildered, because usually at this time, her older sister would have already rushed up and dealt with the other party, and she would only need to wait quietly on the side.

Yao Yan remained unfazed and said confidently, "I'm a Great Dou Shi, you don't expect me to go up and fight a sixth-tier magical beast, do you? I'll get beaten to death!"

"Why don't we talk to it first? After all, we're just passing through and have no conflict with it."

Butterfly hesitated for a moment, then whispered her suggestion.

The other party came with great force, and didn't seem to be trying to reason with them... Yao Yan looked at the Amethyst Winged Lion King, muttered to himself, and nodded, stepping aside to let Cai Die try to handle this kind of emergency. After all, he couldn't always be by Cai Die's side in the future, so it was still very necessary to cultivate her emergency response capabilities.

As Hai Bodong said, the best way to protect someone is to help them become stronger!

Especially in a world like the Dou Qi Continent!

"Human! Why have you trespassed into my territory!"

In the distant sky, the enormous amethyst winged lion king suddenly spoke in human language and roared angrily.

Looking at the 'weak' Yao Yan, Cai Die bit her lip and stood in front of Yao Yan with a stiff upper lip. At the same time, she recalled the scene of her sister handling this kind of thing in her mind. Her expression instantly turned cold, and her beautiful face became even more radiant under the enhancement of the Dou Huang aura.

She mimicked her sister's usual demeanor and coldly replied, "If you don't want to die, get out of the way!"

"?!"

Both the Amethyst Winged Lion King and Yao Yan turned to look at the colorful butterfly, their eyes filled with surprise.

Chapter 63 Confrontation

Is it that powerful?!

Yao Yan was stunned by Cai Die's words. He hadn't expected her way of communicating to be so 'gentle'. After a moment, a smile appeared on his lips, and he quietly took a step back, because he could feel that the Amethyst Winged Lion King opposite him had been completely enraged.

Today, Cai Die has no choice but to fight.

"Roar! Human, you're asking for death!"

The Amethyst Winged Lion King never expected that the newcomer would be so arrogant and domineering, completely disregarding it as the king of the Monster Mountain Range. It roared angrily, and the purple flames surrounding its body suddenly surged, dyeing the surrounding sky purple. Its heterochromatic beast eyes grew even colder and more brutal as it stared intently at the colorful butterfly.

Having survived in the Monster Mountains for nearly a century, this was the first time it had encountered such arrogant humans—no, to be precise, snake people.

As Cai Die sensed the intense hostility emanating from the other party, the fighting spirit belonging to the Seven-Star Dou Huang within her body was instantly released. An eerie purple halo flowed around her, causing her aura to rise steadily. Gone was her previous weak and docile appearance. Her bright peach blossom eyes became cold and firm, like the high and mighty Medusa Queen.

Because she knew she couldn't step aside. Yao Yan's strength was only that of a Great Dou Master. If she stepped aside, Yao Yan would inevitably become the target of the other party's attack.

At this moment, she understood her sister even more: when you have someone behind you who needs protection, you will no longer be afraid!

She took a deep breath, assumed a fighting stance, and said coldly:

"Get out of the way, or die!"

As her words fell, the accompanying soul within her body also awakened along with her emotions. An even more powerful force surged from her body, condensing into a massive, dark blue serpent phantom behind her. Its cold serpentine eyes stared indifferently at the Amethyst Winged Lion King, as if it were eyeing prey.

At this moment, Cai Die's aura became even more terrifying. Her original purple fighting spirit turned into a purplish-blue color, and at the same time, her fighting spirit reached the peak level of Dou Huang!

Cai Die clearly didn't know what it meant to play dumb to fool others; facing a powerful opponent, she went all out from the start!

Yao Yan silently gave this a thumbs up!

"The Purple Nether Serpent?!"

The Amethyst Winged Lion King's eyes grew more serious. It recognized the magical beast behind the Butterfly. It was the king of snake-type magical beasts, a magical beast of the same level as itself. But this did not make it back down; instead, it aroused its ferocity.

No Warcraft champion would allow another Warcraft champion to set foot on their territory.

There is no room for two tigers in one mountain.

This same statement also exists in Warcraft.

Moreover, there must be many four or five magical beasts watching from all sides at this moment. If it chooses to back down, how can it continue to be the boss in the Magical Beast Mountain Range!

Even if we're going to talk, we should do it after the fighting starts!

"Roar!"

It let out a lion's roar and launched the first attack, transforming into a streak of light as it rushed towards the colorful butterfly. Its twin ladders burned with purple flames, stomping on the butterfly with immense force, causing the energy of heaven and earth to surge wherever it passed.

With a slender twist of her waist, the butterfly nimbly dodged the attack, while her palm was covered by solidified battle qi, and she struck the Amethyst Winged Lion King in the abdomen.

"boom!"

With a thunderous boom, the Amethyst Winged Lion King was forced back by a palm strike, which also caused it to let out a painful roar. This was because the butterfly's fighting spirit was quite vicious and contained a cold and deadly poison, causing it to experience a series of stinging pains in its lower abdomen. The bright purple crystals around it dimmed, and a purplish-blue poison swirled around them.

Fortunately, it was thick-skinned and didn't care about the superficial wound. As a fire-attribute magical beast, what was mere poison? With a roar, it attacked the butterfly again.

The two quickly engaged in a fierce battle.
