"Human woman, why do you disturb this king's rest?" the enormous Amethyst Winged Lion King bellowed, its voice booming across the sky.
Mo Yu was not surprised. Once a magical beast reaches a certain level of cultivation, its intelligence is no less than that of humans. Not only can they speak, but some can even transform into human form.
"I want to exchange something for your Amethyst Spirit Crystal," Yun Yun replied, just as Mo Yu had expected.
"An exchange? Sure, I've been in the process of transforming lately. If you can bring me a Shapeshifting Pill, I'll give you the Amethyst Spirit Crystal. How about that?" The Amethyst Winged Lion King let out a hearty laugh.
Hearing this, Mo Yu couldn't help but chuckle to himself. "Is this Amethyst Winged Lion King truly naive, or is it pretending to be? A Shapeshifting Pill is a seventh-grade pill, and it could probably be traded for your entire being, let alone a mere Amethyst Spirit Crystal. Who would waste such a treasure on that?"
As expected, Yun Yun shook her head slightly and gently said, "Sorry, a Shapeshifting Pill is not something easily obtainable. I doubt anyone in the entire Jia Ma Empire has one. However, if you are willing, I can offer you three fifth-tier beast cores and a high-grade Xuan-class cultivation technique and Dou technique in exchange."
Mo Yu frowned at Yun Yun's offer. As the leader of a major sect, the conditions she offered were quite underwhelming. Three fifth-tier beast cores might be invaluable to some, but for a six-tier magical beast like the Amethyst Winged Lion King, cores are hardly a rarity. As a king of the eastern part of the Magical Beast Mountain Range, it could easily gather several fifth-tier beast cores with little effort.
As for high-grade Xuan-class techniques and Dou skills, they were far from rare. Even a small city like Wu Tan City had auctioned off a high-grade Xuan technique, Wind Scroll. This alone showed that such techniques weren't highly valued unless they reached Earth-class.
Given the natural enmity between humans and magical beasts, and the unsatisfactory conditions of both sides, conflict seemed inevitable.
Sure enough, the Amethyst Winged Lion King rejected Yun Yun's offer. Upon the failed negotiation, Yun Yun raised her unusual sword, sighing, "If that's the case, I'll have to take it by force."
As her slender hand lifted, a small azure whirlwind appeared in the sky. Initially only two meters wide, the vortex quickly expanded, growing to over a dozen meters in an instant.
The sky filled with the howling of the azure whirlwind, and the powerful winds uprooted massive trees, turning them into flying splinters.
"Hmph! The Magical Beast Mountain Range is not your territory, human. You cannot act so recklessly here!" the Amethyst Winged Lion King roared. With the beast's furious shout, the purple crystals on its body began to glow intensely, and a torrent of purple flames erupted from within.
Seeing this, Mo Yu quickly retreated, moving several kilometers away. This level of combat was far beyond his current capabilities. Even spectating from the sidelines could be dangerous.
While Mo Yu withdrew, the battle between Yun Yun and the Amethyst Winged Lion King raged on.
From his vantage point on a distant hillside, Mo Yu closely observed the fight, muttering to himself, "The Amethyst Winged Lion King's defense and physical strength are formidable, but Yun Yun's mastery of various wind-based techniques is equally impressive. If this continues, the Lion King will probably reveal its trump card soon."
As soon as Mo Yu finished speaking, the situation on the battlefield began to change.
"Human woman, you've tested my patience long enough!" the Amethyst Winged Lion King growled, its massive form radiating with an intense purple light.
After a few moments of gathering energy, the purple light condensed into a beam no more than half a meter thick. It seemed deceptively small, but the energy contained within it was terrifying.
"Sealing technique," Mo Yu thought. Some high-tier magical beasts are born with special abilities. For instance, the Taixu Ancient Dragon is born with the ability to manipulate space, capable of crossing through dimensions.
This Amethyst Winged Lion King, through some mysterious lineage, seemed to possess an innate sealing power.
Recalling that the Lion King had a small, third-tier cub, Mo Yu considered his next move. He had been thinking of contracting a magical beast, and this cub seemed like a promising candidate. A beast that could use sealing techniques would have great potential. If raised properly, it could become a powerful ally and a valuable part of his fighting force.
With that in mind, Mo Yu's dark eyes remained fixed on the battle. His next plan depended on coordinating with Yun Yun.
At that moment, the deep purple beam shot forward like lightning, piercing through dozens of wind shields that Yun Yun had erected, before finally striking her directly.
"Extreme Wind: Annihilation!"
Yun Yun's peculiar sword vibrated, and a narrow, thumb-sized beam of light shot out in response.
Despite being hit by the sealing technique, as one of the strongest individuals in the Jia Ma Empire, Yun Yun still had her trump cards.
"Crack!"
The beam of light flew toward the Amethyst Winged Lion King's head, striking directly at the red horn atop its head, slicing it clean in half.
The breaking of the horn caused the Lion King to roar in agony. Furious, it struck Yun Yun squarely in the chest with its powerful claws.
Coughing up a mouthful of blood, Yun Yun's face paled slightly. She quickly turned, her azure wings flapping as she disappeared into the horizon.
As the Lion King, weakened by the loss of its horn, bellowed in anger, it commanded, "Search the mountains! Find that human woman!"
At the beast's order, the surrounding magical beasts scurried wildly through the forest.
Mo Yu's face grew serious as he quickly activated his Dou Qi, speeding off in the direction of Yun Yun's retreat.
"I must find her before the other magical beasts do," he thought.
