The Supreme God of Martial Arts
Chapter 231 Purple Flaming Lion King

Austin was utterly shocked. A sixth-level diabolic beast? What was thatsupposed to mean? Violet was a third-level demonic beast and was aspowerful as warriors at the preliminary stage of the Earth Realm. In fact,she could even be considered slightly better than them

A sixth-level diabolic beast would then be as powerful as warriors whohad reached the Mysterious Realm. And if that wasn't enough, diabolicbeasts also had inherent physical advantages, so no ordinary master ofthe Mysterious Realm ever dared to provoke them.

In the face of those three masters of the Mysterious Realm and a sixthlevel diabolic beast, a cold sweat began to pop out of Austin'sforehead. “There is a real possibility that I will be killed if either of themreplaces me, * he thought to himself.

'Was I wrong in my choice? Should I not have come here? I mean I mayend up dead without getting what I want.’

However, he refused to yield even in the face of such a crisis. Besides,nothing could be gained if you sat idly on your couch. After a momentof panic and hesitation, Austin gritted his teeth and decided to fight itout with them.

Violet, residing in his mind, was also reluctant to give up so easily, andtherefore, the two braced themselves to move secretly a few dozenmeters forward. They found a huge tree and hid behind it

They could see a gentle hillside in front of them.

Glancing from his hiding spot, Austin saw a sight he had never heard orseen before, and probably never would in the foreseeable future.

A giant lion, roughly about eight meters long was standing on the hillside. Its large body was wrapped in clusters of purple flames which rosedazzlingly.

Its ferocity could be easily seen as it opened its large mouth and baredits fangs. Its long purple manes fluttered in the air. There was somebizarre, terrifying light in its pupils, which were glowing, and its fourbrawny claws were like four giant pillars.

It was near the middle of the day and the sun was shining down itshead. The lion was radiating a sinister light in that yellow glow. Theflames on its body would leap up from time to time and spurt to itssurroundings. It looked both gorgeous, as well as dangerous. Its pupilswere a strange, bloody shade of red and showcased its invincible might.In front of that lion, several dozen meters away, stood three men clad inwhite, spotless robes. They were masters of the Mysterious Realm andwere from the Medicine Sect.

Both the lion, as well as the group of those masters had a domineeringair around them. They looked mighty and awe-inspiring, and emitted avital energy force several inches around them.

"Violet, do you know what kind of diabolic beast is that? I've neverheard or seen anything like it before!”

Austin asked in his mind.

"That is a sixth level Purple Flaming Lion King," Violet answered,overcome with awe.

It was the first time that Austin had even heard this name.

However, its name was the least of their problems because the PurpleFlaming Lion King was in a rage at this moment. Its voice suddenlyresounded through the sky, "Man, leave! And I won't punish you fordisturbing my slumber. Cloud Cave is now mine. If you intrude, you willbring destruction upon yourselves."

Austin couldn't believe his eyes. The Lion King was speaking clearly andcould think like a sentient human being. He would have thought thatthe lion was a human if he hadn't just seen it and merely heard its voiceinstead.

"Austin, a sixth level diabolic beast is the mightiest of all beasts. It's likea warrior at the Mysterious Realm in terms of cultivation base. It has itsown thought, and therefore, it can speak like us,” Violet explained todispel Austin's surprise and doubts.

"Oh, I see.”

Enlightened at once, Austin nodded.

"Lion King, we just want to borrow the powerful crystal in your cave.The crystal means little to you, but for us pill refiners who need to trainand hone our mental power, it means everything. If you are kindenough to let us pass, we'll be deeply grateful,” the man standing in themiddle of the trio from Medicine Sect said in his usual emotionlessvoice. He was known to be the definition of nonchalance among hisfriends

"Humph! Cut out the banana oil. Do you think you can talk me intogiving you the crystal with just a few stupid words? How naive you are!In any case, I have run out of patience now. Go back to your lowly city!This is not a place for you!"

the Lion King scoffed.

"Ha-ha."

The leader of the three men smiled faintly and replied, "Lion King! ForMedicine Sect, courtesy demands reciprocity. Surely, we won't borrowyour treasure without giving anything in return. If you agree to let usget what we need, we will offer ten Earth Elixirs to you. How aboutthat?"

He knew very well that the powerful Lion King couldn't be trifled with,so he proposed a deal as politely as he could.

"Ha!" The Lion King scoffed so powerfully that it sent several flamesdown the men's path, who retreated several steps back, "It's generousof you to offer me ten Earth Elixirs, but you know that my powerfulcrystal is invaluable. Ten Earth Elixirs are nowhere near enough to itscost!"

The Lion King declined the trade.

What the hell was Earth Elixir? Was it precious?

Austin was confused since he had never heard of it.

In fact, the Earth Elixir was a kind of medicine specially prepared for themartial artists who were at the Mysterious Realm. It could acceleratetheir breakthroughs and let them achieve higher cultivation bases muchfaster. All the ordinary martial artists at Mysterious Realm desired itgreatly.

"I admit that Earth Elixirs are valuable," the Lion King continued, "butten of them are far from enough. It's very bold of you to barter themfor my crystal. However, if you offer ten Heavenly Elixirs, I will give youwhat you want in return.”

Despite the delicious irony in the Lion King's words, he looked at thethree men with an expectant look on his face.

"What? Ten Heavenly Elixirs? It's an exorbitant price, Lion King! It's toomuch for us humble folks! Please make a concession for us.”

The white-robed man was apparently shocked by the Lion King'srequest. Heavenly Elixirs were necessary for martial artists at theMysterious Realm who wanted to reach a higher realm. It wasn't justhelpful; it was necessary! Without it, they wouldn't be able to reach ahigher realm.

There were only a few such elixirs in Medicine Sect. The head and thechief elders of the sect kept them protected like treasures and tookthem only when it was extremely necessary or at highly critical stages.It was not easy to make the Heavenly Elixirs even for Medicine Sectwhich was mainly engaged in the refining of elixirs. One reason for thiswas that the materials required for the refining of this elixir were rare.Moreover, Heavenly Elixirs required too much effort from the refinerhimself too. The highest success rate ever achieved was merely 20%when this elixir was refined, and this was achieved by the head of theMedicine Sect, who was supposed to possess the highest refiningability among all.

"Well, if you don't have ten ones, five will do.”

The Lion King's loud voice reverberated in the sky. It also knew that itwas a highway robbery to demand ten Heavenly Elixirs.

"Humph! Chief Elder, don't waste your time with him. We haverepeatedly been polite to him, but he is still so arrogant. Let's breakinto the cave and take what we need!"

The middle-aged man in the white gown on the right of the leader ofthe company had been seething at the Lion King's rudeness for quite awhile. He had reached the end of his forbearance now.

Medicine Sect was illustrious because it had numerous pill refinersamong its members. Martial artists treated them as guests of honor outof their thirst for pills, and people had the greatest respect for them.They were always treated with utmost politeness wherever they went.This middle-aged man in the white gown had made quite a number ofachievements in pill refining. Moreover, he had mastered a lot of vitalenergy, and therefore, was quite proud and arrogant, as well assusceptible to flattery. Seeing the Lion King being so rude, he reallywanted to beat him hard.

The Lion King was not angry at his seething suggestion, and laughedwildly, "Ha-ha! I knew that you wanted to rob me of my crystal, but youpretended to be nice first. Is that the true nature of human beings?"
