Chapter 2785
“You …… you ……”
The man stared at Kai in disbelief, utterly at a loss for words!
In that moment, Kai released the man and commanded, “Take me there ……”
The man hesitated for a brief moment, but ultimately guided Kai toward the lean old man!
Upon seeing Kai approach, the lean old man’s expression shifted dramatically as he exclaimed, “Suo Xingyue, what are you doing? Why haven’t you killed him yet?”
The man remained silent, his face a mixture of emotions!
Meanwhile, Kai fixed his gaze on the lean old man and declared, “You demon cultivator! How dare you show your face in public without any place to hide?”
Instantly, the old man realized that his identity had been exposed, leading him to abandon any pretense. A dark aura emanated from his body, revealing the demonic technique he was practicing.
The lean old man questioned with a menacing tone.
Suo Xingyue gritted her teeth and raised her chin defiantly, “I know the risks, but I refuse to aid the wicked.”
“If it means dying, so be it. I won’t continue refining pills for you to conceal your demonic energy. You can kill me or let me die as you wish!”
Suo Xingyue shouted, having seemingly resigned herself to her fate!
“Very well, if you’re not afraid of death, I’ll grant you that wish. Do you really think a mere second-rank cultivator of the Harmonious Body realm can save you?”
The lean old man remarked, and with a flick of his finger, a black mist surged from Suo Xingyue’s body. She screamed in agony and collapsed, convulsing on the ground!
“Little brother, please end my suffering. Don’t let me endure this torture.”
Suo Xingyue pleaded as she gazed at Kai!
Kai frowned slightly, then stepped forward to grasp Suo Xingyue’s wrist!
A surge of spiritual energy flowed into Suo Xingyue’s body, and Kai realized that a demonic energy was wreaking havoc inside her, causing her immense pain!
“Don’t worry, you won’t die while I’m here ……”
After assuring her, Kai reached out and gently tapped Suo Xingyue’s body several times. Almost immediately, swirling black mist began to rise from the top of her head!
With a firm exertion of force, Kai drew all that black mist into his own body!
In just moments, the demonic energy plaguing Suo Xingyue had vanished, completely absorbed by Kai!
Suo Xingyue was left dumbfounded by the spectacle before her!
“Little brother, you …… What are you doing? If you’re tainted with demonic Qi, you’ll be worse than dead!”
Suo Xingyue couldn’t comprehend how Kai had managed to absorb that malevolent energy!
“Don’t worry, I’ll be fine.”
Kai replied with a faint smile before turning his attention back to the lean old man!
The lean old man was astonished, staring at Kai in disbelief. “Who are you? How dare you absorb my demonic Qi?”
“You don’t need to concern yourself with my identity. It’s not too late for you to leave now. I’m on my way to the Pill Master Meeting, and I’d prefer no interference from you.”
“Also, I don’t care if you’re a demon, beast, or human. As long as you don’t provoke me, I won’t bother you.”
Kai waved dismissively at the lean old man!
The lean old man stood there, bewildered, scrutinizing Kai. He couldn’t fathom how a second-rank cultivator of the Harmonious Body realm dared to speak to him in such a manner!
After all, he was a sixth-ranked practitioner of the Harmony Realm, and given the vast difference in their strengths, he could easily eliminate Kai with a single strike!
Now, he was left questioning where Kai derived such confidence!
Even Suo Xingyue, standing beside him, was perplexed. Although Kai’s power might indeed surpass what his rank suggested, how could a second-rank cultivator of the Harmony Realm possibly contend with a sixth-rank cultivator? It seemed utterly impossible!
