The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1291 - 1290: Taking the Crystal Core

"You've wanted to kill me, and it's not a new thought. Haven't you wanted to kill me for a long time?"The Seven-colored Dragon seemed surprisingly accepting about whether or not it would be killed.

"I'll deal with you right now."

The Lion King took a step back, shaking his hefty body, and headed toward the entrance of the cave.

He grasped a whip in his paw, the whip covered with electric thorns. As the Seven-colored Dragon laughed at the Lion King, the Lion King lashed at the Seven-colored Dragon with the electric thorns.

Originally adorned with seven-colored scales, the Seven-colored Dragon was now battered and scarred by the Lion King; even Tang Rao could feel the pain upon hearing the whip strike.

"This isn't your place to speak. Do you think you're still the Seven-colored Dragon of yore? You're mistaken. Now you're nothing, and it's I, the Lion King, who rules here!"

The Lion King painted himself as formidable, believing it would pressure the Seven-colored Dragon, but who knew, except for mocking the big lion, the Seven-colored Dragon felt nothing else for him.

"You think driving me away from Lion Mountain made it your mountain? Dragon Mountain is still Dragon Mountain. You, a big lion, dreaming of replacing me is too far-fetched."

Despite the Seven-colored Dragon being bound by the Dragon-locking Whip and unable to move, these words were a fact.

Had the big lion not found the Dragon-locking Whip, the Seven-colored Dragon would hardly have fallen to such a state.

"Seven-colored Dragon?"

Tang Rao awakened Jixing.

Jixing could leave Tang Rao's body, take a look at the cave entrance, and report back to Tang Rao.

Jixing's mind was linked with Tang Rao's, so whatever Jixing saw quickly entered Tang Rao's mind. Tang Rao, seeing the wounds on the Seven-colored Dragon, couldn't help but be impressed by the big lion's ruthless nature.

"How about it, scared yet? This is only the beginning. I will make your life a living hell. Dragon Mountain? Dragon Mountain has long ceased to exist. This is Lion Mountain, and I, the Lion King, lead these demon beasts. After all these years, what does the Seven-colored Dragon count for?"

The Seven-colored Dragon sighed. Did the Lion King really think he was something exceptional? Tang Rao scornfully glanced at the Lion King, whispering quietly with Jixing.

"Jixing, can you help the Seven-colored Dragon break free and release it?"

Though the feasibility of this was slim, Tang Rao was determined to try as long as there was a glimmer of hope.

"I can, but the Dragon-locking Whip is exceptionally powerful. If anything happens to me later, you must use Immortal Energy to save me. Tang Rao, you must always have faith that we are one; only when I am strong can you be strong."

Tang Rao nodded until nearly dizzy, and then Jixing transformed into a wisp of smoke, dispersing.

"Only when you are strong can I be strong!"

Tang Rao pondered over Jixing's words and, making up his mind, whistled to the big lion.

"Big Lion, what's inside? Is it really the Seven-colored Dragon? Can you show it to me?"

With such a request from Tang Rao, the Lion King would undoubtedly refuse.

Even knowing the outcome, Tang Rao successfully diverted the Lion King's attention.

This time, he didn't hold back the Purple Crystal Beast and let it out, quickly engaging the Lion King.

"Purple Crystal Beast? I couldn't tell you had such power."

The Lion King underestimated Tang Rao's soft strength earlier.

"Oh, you flatter me. My Purple Crystal Beast is encountering an opponent of almost equal strength for the first time. I hope you won't disappoint it too much."

The Purple Crystal Beast continually disrupted the Lion King, and the Lion King couldn't find a good opportunity to first deal with Tang Rao.

"Hahaha, I hope your Purple Crystal Beast won't disappoint me too much."

After exchanging three moves with the Purple Crystal Beast, both parties had no issues, but after three moves, things seemed to change.

The Lion King's strength surpassed that of the Purple Crystal Beast, dazzling Tang Rao so much that he didn't dare disrupt the beast's strategy against the Lion King.

"Xiao Jixing, hurry up a bit! Time is running out, and the Purple Crystal Beast can't hold on much longer."

Tang Rao almost resorted to praying in his heart.

"I want to hurry, but unlocking it surely takes time. Let me take another look, almost done."

Following Tang Rao's suggestion, before untying the Seven-colored Dragon, Jixing also fed it an Elixir Pill so it could regain strength while waiting for Jixing to undo the whip's bind.

"Done, it's unlocked!"

The moment it was released, the Seven-colored Dragon immediately flew out of the cave.

The pair of small wings on the dragon were quite beautiful.

Tang Rao saw the real Seven-colored Dragon and was gambling on whether it was good or ill. From rumors, the Seven-colored Dragon was powerful, with few to match it, but purely in other aspects, its nature was still somewhat kind.

Tang Rao had just heard the Seven-colored Dragon thank Jixing.

"Seven-colored Dragon, how did you get out?"

The Lion King thought it was dreaming. After using devious tactics to painstakingly capture the Seven-colored Dragon, who could have untied the dragon's ropes right under the Lion King's nose?

"If I wanted to come out, it was easy. Lion King, your death is near!"

The Seven-colored Dragon harbored a grudge against the Lion King. Killing the Lion King ten times would not suffice to calm its anger. Its front claws grasped the Lion King's back fur, lifting him into the air. Its claws plunged into his back, and though blood flowed from his back, he dared not break free.

If it struggled free, it would just be captured by the Seven-colored Dragon again. Why engage in such futile battles?

"Tang Rao, what do you want to do with it?"

After a circle in the air, the Seven-colored Dragon handed the Lion King over to Tang Rao.

At this moment, Tang Rao wasn't interested in the conflict between the Lion King and the Seven-colored Dragon; he fed his best Elixir Pills into the Purple Crystal Beast's mouth, fully focused on rescuing the beast.

"Do as you wish, kill it if you want, or cripple it if that's your choice. Leaving it here is just an eyesore, and it's of no use."

He was the Lion King after all, a deity comparable to a mid-rank god, yet Tang Rao called him useless, wounding his pride and leaving him humiliated.

"Wait a moment."

Just as the Seven-colored Dragon was about to deliver the final judgment on the Lion King, Tang Rao paused it, and the Lion King thought Tang Rao had a change of heart, sparing his life. But Tang Rao only said, "Since you have no use for it, kill it and give me the crystal core."

Such was the situation; the Seven-colored Dragon tore the Lion King to pieces before the onlookers, and such a formidable being didn't even have a chance to resist.

The Seven-colored Dragon killed the Lion King and placed the crystal core in Tang Rao's hand, where he still felt the warmth of it.
