Chapter 4331
Upon witnessing the unfolding chaos, Di Chongjing felt a surge of fear wash over her, prompting her to retreat to a safe distance. Meanwhile, Patriarch Jiang’s expression darkened, his eyes reflecting deep sorrow.
They were once comrades, united as senior brothers, but now their relationship had devolved into this chaotic confrontation!
“Go to hell!”
The Eldest Senior Brother unleashed a fierce roar, causing a thick black mist to erupt from his body!
“Ah…!”
As the black mist spread, every cultivator who came into contact with it emitted cries of agony, their bodies seemingly aging before their eyes, as if they were in the grips of decay!
“This is Dead Qi! Everyone, fall back immediately!”
Kai shouted urgently, rallying the group to retreat as quickly as possible!
This Dead Qi was formidable; upon contact, it would rapidly drain a person’s vitality, leading to swift aging and a significant loss of Yang Yuan!
“You can’t escape!”
The Eldest Senior Brother sneered coldly and swiftly pursued Kai and the others!
His speed was astounding, and he steadily closed the distance on the fleeing group. Patriarch Jiang and the others felt a chill run down their spines as they dodged the encroaching waves of deathly energy.
In this dire situation, the only way to counteract the Dead Qi was for someone to expend their Yang Yuan vitality to create a barrier against it. Otherwise, survival would be nearly impossible!
“Patriarch Jiang, you all stay back! I’ll confront him…”
Kai realized that merely fleeing would not suffice; he had to stand his ground against the onslaught of Dead Qi!
“Chen, please be cautious…”
Patriarch Jiang warned, concern etched on his face.
With his Dragon Slashing Sword in hand, Kai charged directly at the Eldest Senior Brother, determined to confront the ominous energy!
The Eldest Senior Brother looked slightly taken aback as he noticed Kai, a mere seventh-ranked cultivator of the Transition Realm, daring to challenge him and attack!
“Eldest Senior Brother, this is Kai! He’s the one who killed Second Senior Brother! Don’t underestimate him, he’s stronger than he appears!”
Di Chongjing shouted, fearing that her senior brother might misjudge Kai’s capabilities.
“So, he’s the one who dispatched Second Senior Brother. I will avenge him!”
The Eldest Senior Brother’s expression turned icy as he unleashed a low growl, causing the deadly aura around him to intensify!
In this precarious moment, Kai would inevitably suffer from the effects of the Dead Qi, regardless of his speed!
Before he could even reach the Eldest Senior Brother, he risked having his vitality drained, his Yang Yuan extinguished, potentially leading to his demise!
Moreover, this Dead Qi was relentless; once it enveloped a person, even the strongest physical body would be rendered ineffective!
Though Kai’s boldness puzzled the Eldest Senior Brother, he felt no fear. After all, as long as there were beings with vital Yang Yuan, the most dreaded enemy was the Dead Qi, which he commanded with invincibility!
“Let’s see how long you can endure the Dead Qi…”
The Eldest Senior Brother taunted, a smirk playing on his lips!
As Kai surged forward, he activated his Unbreakable Golden Body, cloaking himself in golden scales!
However, even this formidable defense was unable to withstand the corrosive nature of the Dead Qi, and the golden scales began to crumble away!
The Eldest Senior Brother stood there, hands behind his back, watching Kai with a cold detachment!
In just a few short steps, the Unbreakable Golden Body began to dissipate, a testament to the overwhelming power of the Dead Qi!
“Kid, by the time you reach me, you’ll just be a puddle of blood…”
The Eldest Senior Brother boasted smugly!
Kai quickly recognized the threat posed by the Dead Qi; despite his robust physique, he was unable to fend it off!
He even summoned his True Fire Dharma Body, but it proved equally ineffective!
“Birth, old age, sickness, and death are the natural order of things; this Dead Qi embodies that order, and nothing can resist it,” remarked the Red Cloud Demon Lord, his tone calm.
“Is there truly no way to combat this Dead Qi?”
Kai asked, his brow furrowed in frustration.
“There is a way. If you possess enough vitality and Yang Yuan, the Dead Qi will be powerless against you,” came the response.
