Chapter 55: Watching the Beauty and the Beast Fight from Afar

Chapter 55: Watching the Beauty and the Beast Fight from Afar

Wu Tian's movements were swift and precise. The young Amethyst Winged Lion King didn't even have a chance to react before being instantly absorbed into his Hushabao Storage Ring.

The spatial dimension inside the Hushabao Ring was vast, though only a small courtyard was currently available. But even this limited space was more than enough for the young lion cub to move around.

Unfortunately for the little beast, it spawned directly into a pit

A small pool where the Ice Spirit Cold Spring used to be.

Though the spring itself was gone, the area still emitted an icy chill, much like a natural freezer.

If the Amethyst Winged Lion clan wasn't naturally fire attributed, the sudden drop in temperature would have frozen the poor cub solid.

Completely confused, the little Amethyst Lion cub looked around in dazed shock.

The once ferocious lion cub now looked more like a lost kitten, unable to comprehend how it had gone from its home to this strange and unfamiliar space.

Meanwhile, Wu Tian smirked as he sensed the cub's confusion from inside his ring.

"As expected of the ultra divine Hushabao Ring. Not only can it store items, but it can even store magical beasts!"

Of course, Wu Tian had tested this before.

He had previously experimented with Yue Mei and Hua She'er, but the ring refused to store humans

A fact that saved him from being accused of kidnapping women.

And of course, he had also tried storing Xiao Yi Xian, purely out of curiosity.

(At least, that's what he told himself.)

But now was not the time to think about that.

Having secured his loot, Wu Tian dashed toward the exit of the cave.

He needed to leave immediately.

If Yun Yun and the Amethyst Winged Lion King ended their battle too soon and the beast returned

Then Wu Tian would have no choice but to fight it head on.

And though he wasn't afraid of the Lion King, he preferred avoiding unnecessary battles.

As he rushed toward the exit, the sunlight outside grew brighter and brighter.

Then

SWOOSH!

With a flash of movement, Wu Tian shot out of the cave like an arrow.

The intense daylight momentarily blinded him, forcing him to squint before his vision adjusted.

Fortunately, he had moved so quickly that the guards at the cave entrance never even noticed him.

As he descended the mountain, Wu Tian's gaze shifted back toward the ongoing battle between Yun Yun and the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

The fight had intensified significantly.

Both fighters now appeared somewhat battered and exhausted.

Then

Wu Tian saw something that nearly made him burst into laughter.

The majestic and mighty Amethyst Winged Lion King, once a symbol of power and dominance, now looked like a victim of a bad hair day.

Its formerly majestic mane, which once flowed proudly in the wind, had now become a series of tight, curly waves.

The once regal lion now looked like it had just walked out of a cheap barbershop, sporting a shiny purple perm.

"Damn... this is too funny."

Wu Tian could already guess what had caused this transformation

The Lion King's own amethyst flames, combined with Yun Yun's wind, had created a superheated air current.

And the result?

An unintentional magical perm.

As for Yun Yun

She hadn't fared much better.

While her hair remained intact, her once elegant light blue dress was now ripped in multiple places, exposing sections of her snow white skin.

Some areas even revealed the white fabric underneath, a sight that spoke for itself.

Wu Tian sighed, shaking his head.

"Why do their battles always have to turn into such steamy scenes?"

"And now I've seen it. Damn. Guess I'll just have to accept my fate."

"After all, if you accidentally witness something inappropriate, the only way to fix it is to not just watch but take action instead!"

At that moment

The Amethyst Winged Lion King suddenly unleashed a powerful beam of purple flames from the spiral horn on its forehead.

The searing flames shot forward, heading straight for Yun Yun!

Her delicate brows furrowed as she quickly performed a unique hand seal.

A sharp glint flashed in her eyes as she muttered

"Wind Repulsion!"

Instantly

A violent cyan tornado formed around her, blocking the lion's flames before they could reach her.

But the Lion King refused to back down.

Its massive claws glowed brightly, and with a deafening roar, it swung them down with terrifying force.

The sheer impact of its attack ripped through the air itself, creating a shrill sonic boom.

Seeing this, Yun Yun's expression became serious.

With a flap of her delicate cyan wings, she summoned a massive wind barrier several meters tall.

CRACK!

The Lion King's claw strike shattered the wind shield instantly.

Fragments of compressed air exploded outward before dispersing into nothingness.

The power behind the Lion King's physical attack was simply overwhelming.

Had Yun Yun not dodged immediately, she would have been seriously injured.

Even so, the Lion King's speed was far beyond normal expectations.

Despite its massive size, it was shockingly fast

Moving so quickly that Yun Yun barely managed to evade its blows.

She continued retreating, skillfully dodging its relentless attacks

Yet, despite being on the defensive, she had not suffered any serious injuries.

The battle had reached a stalemate.

Both combatants looked worn out, but neither had been able to land a decisive blow.

Wu Tian, observing from a distance, clicked his tongue in disappointment.

"Seriously? I already snuck into the cave, stole what I needed, and even grabbed a baby lion "

"And you two are still holding back?"

"Are you playing around, or what?"

Just as Wu Tian was about to leave

A sudden burst of violet light erupted from the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

The energy in the surrounding air started to vibrate unnaturally.

Yun Yun's calm expression faltered, her brows knitting together in concern.

Even the winds around her began to howl ominously.

Sensing the shift in power, Wu Tian paused in his tracks.

"Oh?"

"Things are getting serious now?"

His eyes narrowed slightly as he recognized the Lion King's technique.

It was a rare sealing ability, a technique only powerful magical beasts could perform.

It reminded him of the same technique Medusa had once used

The one she used to seal Hai Bodong's strength, reducing the mighty Dou Emperor to a mere Dou Spirit.

It was a dangerous technique, one that could turn the tide of battle instantly.

Seeing this, Wu Tian smirked to himself.

"Well, well… looks like things are finally getting interesting."

Instead of leaving, he found a good spot to sit down

Choosing to watch the Beauty and the Beast fight unfold.

After all

"When two opponents fight, the fisherman profits."

"And if I play this right…"

"I might just win big."
