Chapter 66: Chapter 66: The Power of the Nihility Devouring Flame

    ?

    With a thunderous crash, the Amethyst Winged Lion King slammed heavily into the mountainside. Its claws, glowing like red-hot iron, forcibly cauterized its wounds through the intense heat.

    "Kill that human woman for this king!!!"

    The Amethyst Winged Lion King let out a ferocious roar. Its blood-red, giant eyes filled with murderous intent caused the magical beasts that had originally fled in all directions to halt in their tracks. Thousands of them simultaneously turned their gaze toward Yun Yun as she fell from the sky.

    Countless magical beasts converged from all directions to surround her like sharks smelling blood.

    Undoubtedly, a Dou Emperor whose Dou Qi had been sealed was no different from a

    defenseless woman in front of these numerous magical beasts. Even if she didn''t die from the high fall, she would be torn apart by the horde of magical beasts.T/his chapter is updat/ed by

    A burst of blood energy erupted from Xiao Yan as Dou Qi surged through his body. The terrifying blood-colored energy transformed into the illusory figure of a giant lion that enveloped him entirely. The combined power of a 3-star Dou Master''s Dou Qi and his flesh and blood surged out of every pore.

    "Get the hell out of my way!"

    Xiao Yan unleashed the Mad Lion Chant. A massive, charging energy lion burst forth as his shout echoed. The lion''s ferocious roar echoed throughout the forest.

    Roar! The fearsome blood-colored lion like a runaway tank smashed everything in its path. Trees were shattered, and Rank 1 and 2 magical beasts were instantly pulverized into a mist of blood by the powerful force.

    After carving a bloody path, Xiao Yan forcefully stomped on the ground with his right foot. A loud boom sounded, and the terrifying force created a small crater in the ground as dirt flew up.

    Xiao Yan moved swiftly, his body wrapped in a black Soul Robe as he rushed like a ghostly shadow toward the spot where Yun Yun was falling.

    With a physique that had already been honed to be as formidable as that of a magical beast, he resembled a raging lion under the enhancement of the Mad Lion Chant. Even Rank 3 magical beasts had to avoid his sharp edge.

    Xiao Yan leaped thirty feet high, and the next second, a pair of black and purple colored Purple Cloud Wings appeared on his back. His Dou Qi condensed, and with a powerful flap of his wings, he shot forward like an arrow released from a bow to catch the falling Yun Yun.

    Suddenly embraced by a man in a black robe with a hood covering his face, Yun Yun instinctively tried to break free.

    "Stay still if you don''t want to die!" Xiao Yan shouted sternly.

    He had no time to soothe her with gentle words as they were still in danger. "Human! You are courting death!!" A searing roar came from behind Xiao Yan.

    The Amethyst Winged Lion King was badly injured, but not dead. It could still fly!

    The enraged Amethyst Winged Lion King flapped its wings rapidly. It was closing in on Xiao Yan at high speed. Xiao Yan knew that with his Dou Master''s cultivation, relying on flying techniques would not make him faster than the Rank 6 Amethyst Winged Lion King.

    A fierce look flashed in his eyes as he held Yun Yun tightly with one arm around her back, pulling her close as their bodies pressed together.

    "You!" A blush crept across Yun Yun''s cheeks; she had never been so close to a man before!

    Before Yun Yun had time to react, Xiao Yan instantly spun around in midair, his gaze intensifying as a powerful surge of Spiritual Strength emanated from his body.

    "Shouldn''t you introduce yourself before asking someone else''s name?" Xiao Yan looked toward Yun Yun with eyes as calm as still water.

    Yun Yun froze for a moment. She had only ever encountered men who flattered and fawned over her, never a young man as calm and self-assured as Xiao Yan, who had even stepped in to

    save her life.

    Her beautiful eyes flickered slightly as she smiled faintly, "My name is Yun Zhi."

    Xiao Yan''s eyelid twitched as he looked at Yun Yun, who seemed slightly proud of her made- up name. He felt so embarrassed that he almost wanted to find a hole to crawl into.

    Using a fake name was one thing, but not even changing your last name?

    "Uh... my name is Yao Yan." What else could he do? Just pretend he didn''t know she was

    pretending.

    "Why did you save me?" Yun Yun asked softly. She clearly did not recognize Xiao Yan and could not understand why he would go to such lengths to save her.

    "I need to enter the lair of the Amethyst Winged Lion King to retrieve something. As a Dou Emperor, you can hold off the Amethyst Winged Lion King," he replied bluntly, not bothering

    to conceal his motives.

    His straightforwardness left Yun Yun dumbfounded. Was he really trying to use her as a pawn

    so openly?

    A brave hero saving the beauty? Not at all!

    Xiao Yan was very straightforward, openly admitting he had ulterior motives for saving her.

    Surprisingly, Yun Yun nodded in response. She herself did not think that Xiao Yan saved her because of her beauty or anything like that. His honesty left a good impression on her.

    "The Purple Spirit Crystal I need is also likely inside the cave, but my Dou Qi is currently sealed, and I cannot break the seal quickly. If we allow the Amethyst Winged Lion King to recover from its injuries, it won''t be easy to succeed," she said with concern.

    The Amethyst Winged Lion King was now injured, and entering the lair would be even more difficult if they waited until its wounds fully healed. Moreover, after having been there once, Yun Yun feared that the Amethyst Winged Lion King would guard its lair even more closely

    next time.

    Xiao Yan smiled calmly, having already thought of a method to break the seal. He slowly extended his right index finger. With a whoosh, a wisp of black flame appeared at his

    fingertip.

    "I can help you break the seal."

    The Nihility Devouring Flame had the ability to devour anything. He planned to use the characteristics of the Nihility Devouring Flame to gradually devour the seal.
