Battle Through the Heavens: Purple Heaven Thunder Emperor

Chapter 130 The Lion King Recognizes His Master

On a hill several thousand meters away from the Amethyst Winged Lion King's cave, two figures were observing a battle between Dou Huang level experts at close range.

Having witnessed the terrifying power of a battle at this level, Xiao Yan finally understood that the stories of one person fighting against ten thousand in the books were not just legends. At the same time, he began to understand what kind of existence his teacher was!

This is only a Dou Huang; the cultivation level of the teacher when he was alive, a Dou Zun, is simply unimaginable.

"What's wrong? Feeling shocked?" Yao Lao suddenly laughed when he saw Yao Lao's dumbfounded expression.

"Watching their battle, I finally understood the status of the strong on this continent and why they are so supreme. Before, I was like a frog at the bottom of a well, only seeing the sky from the bottom of the well!" Xiao Yan nodded with a wry smile.

"Hehe. Keep up the good work! You have great potential. One day, when you reach that level, you'll find that this world is wonderful!" The old doctor said with a smile, seeing that he had such an understanding.

Just then, a thunderous sound rang out, and the man and beast who were fighting quickly disappeared from their sight.

"Teacher, was that Brother Bai's voice just now?"

Xiao Yan felt like there was something wrong with his ears. The voice he just heard sounded very familiar, like someone else's voice. But how did that guy end up here? And it seemed like he was even interfering in the battle between two Dou Huangs.

"good!"

The old apothecary's expression was also very strange. After hearing that voice, he sensed it and knew that it was Xiao Bai.

But he had a feeling that wherever there was a Dou Huang in the Jia Ma Empire, this kid was always there.

Including last time and this time, how many have we encountered? If we calculate it, it's more than all the Battle Emperors in the entire Jia Ma Empire combined.

"Judging by the dates, he's leaving Canaan Academy tomorrow. Shouldn't he be staying at home? Why is he here?" Xiao Yan couldn't help but complain after hearing Yao Lao's confirmation.

"You might as well go ask him yourself!" The old apothecary was speechless. He was also puzzled as to how this kid had come here, and it seemed that he was even clashing with the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

"Can we really go there?" Xiao Yan's eyes lit up. He had been missing home for the past few days, and suddenly he ran into an acquaintance in the Monster Mountain Range, Brother Bai. He really wanted to see him.

"As I've said, you can do whatever you want in these Monster Mountain Range, but I won't intervene unless it's a matter of life and death!"

The old doctor stroked his beard and smiled faintly. This was to train his independence and ability to make decisions on the spot, so that he wouldn't have to command everything.

Thinking of the demonic beasts he had just seen fleeing—some of them being first, second, and third tiers, and even one fourth tier—Xiao Yan hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and decisively said, "Go!"

Upon hearing this, Yao Lao nodded with a gratified smile, knowing that Xiao Yan did not lack courage, but rather decisiveness, which was the purpose of bringing him out to gain experience.

In front of the Amethyst Winged Lion King's cave.

The atmosphere was a bit tense, but Xiao Bai didn't care. He stroked the little lion's head, a strange look on his face. He seemed to have sensed a faint soul force spying on him just now, and this soul force alternated between hot and cold, and its aura was very familiar.

"Why did that kid end up here?" Xiao Bai's eyes flickered, a question lingering in his mind.

"Humans, release my son, or I will make sure you never leave this Monster Mountain Range!" The Amethyst Winged Lion King looked at his son in the man's hands, like a toy. Although he was furious, a look of fear appeared on his huge lion face.

It knew its son. If this person hadn't been able to take its life so easily, it wouldn't have been so obedient and allowed itself to be toyed with. Although it couldn't see through this person's cultivation level, just knowing that this person could harm its son was enough for it to be wary.

"Heh. What a big mouth! I'd like to see how you plan to keep us from leaving this Monster Mountain Range!" Seeing that Xiao Bai was a little stunned, Yun Zhi worried that he was scared, so she stepped forward and shielded him behind her, pointing her long sword at the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

At the same time, she tilted her head slightly and said softly, "Ah Niu, don't be afraid! I'll take you out of here!"

Xiao Bai snapped out of his daze and was slightly taken aback upon hearing this. Looking at the woman who was protecting him from behind, a strange look appeared in his eyes. This was the second woman to tell him not to be afraid.

And the first one is Xun'er!

"Humans, you want the Purple Spirit Crystal, don't you? Now that my son is here, you must have already obtained it. If you release my son, I promise I will not pursue this matter further and will let you leave. What do you say?"

The Amethyst Winged Lion King looked at the little lion, a hint of tenderness flashing in his eyes. He then said to the two of them, "Although it takes twenty years for a small piece of the Amethyst Crystal to fall off from my body, which is very beneficial to my son, it is nothing compared to my life."

"Ah Niu, what do you think?" Yunzhi stared intently at the Amethyst Winged Lion King without turning around and asked softly.

She didn't really trust the Amethyst Winged Lion King, but with the cubs by her side, their retreat would be much easier!

Although she already had her own ideas, she still wanted to hear Xiao Bai's opinion. After all, this was something he had risked his life for. She wondered if he had any feelings for the little lion. If so, she would respect his decision and grant his wish!

Releasing the lion cub, Xiao Bai stood up and walked to Yunzhi's side, gently pressing down her hand that was holding up the longsword.

Yunzhi looked at him with some confusion, then seemed to remember something. Sensing the little lion crouching obediently behind her, she breathed a sigh of relief and scolded playfully, "Why did you come up here? Go and watch over the little lion!"

"It's alright!" Xiao Bai glanced at her gently. The little lion had already been sealed by him and couldn't escape!

He then said to the Amethyst Winged Lion King, "If you acknowledge me as your master, I will not kill you!"

Upon hearing this, both the Amethyst Winged Lion King and Yunzhi were momentarily stunned, wondering if he had gone mad!

"Haha. Human, are you joking with me?" The Amethyst Winged Lion King laughed in anger, looking at the human. Although he didn't know the human's strength, judging from the division of labor between him and the human woman, he was definitely not as strong as her. Otherwise, the two of them would not need to sneak around like this. They would definitely come to the door openly and forcibly take him!

He's not afraid of anyone stronger than that woman, and he even claims her as his master. This human must still be dreaming!

"Ah Niu, you!!" Yunzhi blinked her beautiful eyes, hesitant to speak. She couldn't understand what Xiao Bai was doing. She couldn't even beat this big lion, yet he wanted it to recognize him as his master and said he wouldn't kill it. Was he dreaming?

To put it bluntly, forcing a lion cub to acknowledge a master—aren't you afraid of a backlash?

"Little guy, go to your old man's place!" Xiao Bai didn't answer them, but turned around and said something to the little lion that made the Amethyst Winged Lion King ecstatic.

"This human is definitely out of his mind!" The Amethyst Winged Lion King suppressed his joy and let out a deep lion's roar, constantly calling and urging the little lion to come over.

Fearing the human woman would stop it, it called its son over before she could react.

"Don't worry!" Xiao Bai saw that Yunzhi was a little angry, but she didn't say anything and kept a cold face, so he gently comforted her.

Yunzhi was indeed a little angry, but considering that he was the one who caught the little lion, she couldn't interfere with how to deal with it. She just felt a bit choked up. She had helped him so much, but he seemed to not care at all.

After the little lion walked past, the Amethyst Winged Lion King glanced at it and, finding it unharmed, quickly shielded it behind him. He then looked at the two, his beastly eyes flashing with a cold light:

"Human, thank you for bringing my son back. Rest assured, as a token of my gratitude, I will grant you both a swift and painless death!"

As he spoke, a surge of purple light enveloped him, and he was about to make his move.

Seeing this, Yunzhi was angry at his actions, but since things had come to this, she hurriedly tried to pull Xiao Bai behind her, but couldn't budge him. She said urgently, "Quickly get behind me and stay away for a while!"

"Don't worry! Everything will be fine!" Xiao Bai shook his head, patted her hand that was holding his, and said calmly with a smile, "A father and son reunited, what a touching scene. How about we try to exchange a few words?"

The Amethyst Winged Lion King didn't understand the meaning behind his words and sneered, "Don't worry, after you two are dead, my son and I will have a proper chat!"

However, as soon as it finished speaking, the little lion it was protecting behind stretched out its paw and patted the Amethyst Winged Lion King, letting out a few tender lion roars.

The Amethyst Winged Lion King turned back and comforted him, "My son, don't worry. Let me deal with these two and avenge you!"

"roar!"

"What?!"

"roar!"

After exchanging words for a moment, the Amethyst Winged Lion King conducted a thorough examination of the cub, then turned back to Xiao Bai with a look of shock and anger, roaring with a hint of fear, "Human, what have you done to my son's soul?"

Through the conversation just now, it knew why this human was willing to send its son back. It turned out that he had tampered with the lion cub, and it seemed to have done so to its soul. This enraged it, but it was helpless because it had no way of checking what kind of tampering had been done.

Magical beasts are born with strong bodies but weak soul power. Although it is a sixth-order magical beast, it is unable to examine the little lion's soul problems. Not to mention it, even human Battle Emperors, unless they are alchemists, mostly have only a superficial understanding of soul power. Therefore, it was both shocked and angry, and at the same time, it was extremely wary!

Now it feels like its previous mockery of this human was a joke!

No wonder this human was so confident in saying that it would kill it if it refused to acknowledge him as its master. Based on this level of spiritual attainment, it was starting to doubt whether this human was some kind of alchemist or a super strong person!

"Just a small thing, not worth mentioning!" Xiao Bai said with a faint smile, then his face turned cold: "Now I'm giving you two choices: acknowledge it as your master, or die. Begin your choice!"

"But hurry, my patience is running out!"

After saying that, Xiao Bai ignored it. Feeling the unfamiliar gaze beside him, he sighed. Yunzhi suspected that he had deceived her by hiding his cultivation level.

"If you want to know something, just ask. Don't look at me like that, it's hurtful!" Xiao Bai transmitted his voice.

"Cultivation level? Age?" Yunzhi saw him transmit his voice, glanced at the Amethyst Winged Lion King opposite her, and asked in the same way, but her tone was slightly cold.

"A five-star Dou Ling! Eighteen years old!"

"and you."

"It just happens to be a few tricks on the soul!" Xiao Bai knew what she was going to ask, and winked and smiled.

The coldness in Yunzhi's beautiful eyes disappeared. She had just suspected that Xiao Bai had lied to her, and this guy even said that he couldn't fly, making her mistakenly think that his cultivation was weak. She was so worried about his safety before, and she couldn't help but feel a little angry.

How could someone who can tamper with another's soul be weak, something even a sixth-grade alchemist like Gu He couldn't do!

But now that he knew his true cultivation level, his anger had subsided, but he was extremely shocked. Eighteen years old, a five-star Dou Ling?

Although I knew he was talented, I never imagined he was this talented!

At the same time, many doubts in her heart were also resolved. No wonder this guy had no respect for her at all. At this age, he was already a five-star Dou Ling. If it were her, she would not have any respect for this level either.

"You really don't have any background, no teacher, just a bit of luck, and everything else you cultivated on your own?" Yunzhi's eyes gleamed with a faint light as she stared intently at him.

"No!" Xiao Bai shook his head. The old alchemist had given him some pointers on alchemy, but he had always cultivated his cultivation on his own. No one could guide him, since the cultivation method was given to him by the imperial edict.

"Hehe." Upon hearing this, a strange smile appeared on Yunzhi's elegant and noble face, but she did not speak.

"Hey, Yunzhi, don't look at me like that, it scares me!" When the woman heard that she didn't have a teacher, her eyes lit up and a strange smile appeared on her lips, making Xiao Bai feel a little uneasy.

He wasn't worried that Yunzhi might have any ideas that would be detrimental to him; he didn't believe she would do such a thing!

On the other side, the Amethyst Winged Lion King's expression was somewhat uncertain. It couldn't detect the little lion's soul and was a little suspicious of the little thing Xiao Bai mentioned. However, considering that it concerned its son's safety, it was hesitant to take the gamble!

"Human, help my son break free from his spells! I agree to acknowledge you as my master!" After hesitating for a long time, the Amethyst Winged Lion King said somewhat dejectedly.

"I can help it break free from control, but I'll plant something in your mind's eye. After all, I've already seen your credibility!" Xiao Bai looked at the lion with some suspicion. Did it really agree so easily?

The Amethyst Winged Lion King was somewhat surprised and uncertain. It had only spoken to test the waters, but it hadn't expected that this human could actually use such methods against it.

"Hehe." Seeing its expression, Xiao Bai immediately understood what was going on. He sneered and unleashed his soul power, pressing directly towards the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

This lion won't give up until it sees his methods; isn't it just trying to test him? Well, let's see what happens!

The Amethyst Winged Lion King instantly felt a strong soul pressure appear on its body. Faced with this pressure, it felt that its soul could not resist it at all. It had no choice but to circulate all its energy and unleash the aura of a sixth-order magical beast in order to barely hold on and avoid collapsing in a sorry state.

Yunzhi sensed the clash of the two auras, her rosy lips slightly parted, and she immediately dismissed her idea of ​​using her strength to kidnap Xiao Bai. This little guy was not a normal person; she couldn't do it!

"I agree!" the Amethyst Winged Lion King said through gritted teeth with some difficulty. Feeling the immense soul power, it completely believed that the human had used such methods on its son that it could not undo, and it no longer called itself "King".

"Very good!" Xiao Bai smiled. Although this guy might be a bit useless in the future, he's not bad at guarding the house for now.

Approaching the Amethyst Winged Lion King, he placed a hand on its massive head: "Don't resist!"

The Amethyst Winged Lion King instantly sensed something appear in its sea of ​​consciousness, and its keen perception rapidly decreased, as if it were separated by something.

"Is this a seal?"

It was very familiar with this kind of thing; the woman not far away had been sealed by it.

Upon hearing this, Yunzhi's eyes flashed with a strange light. She hadn't expected his method to be a soul seal; it was the first time she had ever heard of such a technique!
