Chapter 4942

Just as Kai was reveling in his joy, a terrifying and powerful aura suddenly struck him!

Boom! Boom!

Caught off guard, Kai was hit head-on by the force and sent flying backward!

He crashed heavily onto the ground, instantly coughing up blood.

“F*ck… who attacked me?”

Kai frowned. He had been absorbing the evil energy smoothly—how could someone attack him so suddenly?

Since the evil spirits had no consciousness, it was impossible for them to launch a sneak attack.

Kai suspected there might be other cultivators hidden in this purgatory who had ambushed him.

As he slowly got up, Kai was stunned by the sight before him.

The carefree look on his face vanished, replaced by a grim, serious expression.

“Demon corpse?” Scarlet Cloud Demon Lord exclaimed in surprise. “This broken place is more sinister than I thought—it can actually breed demon corpses.”

Before Kai stood a massive demon corpse, lumbering toward him. Its rotting body reeked of decay, with white bones exposed through torn flesh.

At the sight, Kai couldn’t help but retch. The stench and horror were overwhelming.

As the demon corpse drew nearer, the ground shook violently with each step. Towering a hundred feet tall, it loomed like a mountain.

Standing before Kai, the demon corpse slowly lowered its head, glaring fiercely at him.

Before Kai could react, it swung a giant palm toward him.

The massive slap swept across a hundred-meter radius around Kai!

Yet at the very moment the demon corpse’s palm fell, Kai’s figure suddenly vanished.

Using his Fire Control Step, he instantly moved several miles away, easily avoiding the devastating blow.
The moment Kai disappeared, a sword light shot into the sky, slashing straight toward the demon corpse.

Boom! Boom!

The sword light struck the demon corpse fiercely, and a devastating shockwave erupted, blasting Kai away!

At the same time, the surrounding evil spirits were reduced to ashes.

Kai struggled to stabilize his body and landed on the ground. Looking at the demon corpse, he realized that a single strike wasn’t enough to kill it.

Despite its rotting flesh and exposed bones, the demon corpse remained standing. Even though its body was severely damaged, it had not been slain by Kai’s sword.

“Come again…”

Kai suddenly leapt up and swung the Dragon-Slaying Sword in his hand once more!

Boom!

This time, the sword light carried a surge of endless flames. The moment it touched the demon corpse, its massive body was instantly set ablaze!

The demon corpse was engulfed in flames, roaring and screaming in agony.

At last, it collapsed to the ground with a loud crash, consumed by fire.

Kai landed, gazing at the burning remains before him. Without hesitation, he activated the Concentration Mind Technique to absorb the evil spirit released from the demon corpse.

“It seems the Ultimate Fire is more effective against these things!”

Kai smirked. Now that he had found a method to deal with the demon corpses, there was nothing to fear.

Meanwhile, at the City Lord’s Mansion, Gadfly frowned when he noticed the Ultimate Fire within Kai’s sword attack. “The Ultimate Fire of the Demon Clan? Is this kid really from the Demon Clan?”

Gadfly’s hands unconsciously tightened into fists. If Kai truly was a demon and had dared to enter Purgatory, Gadfly would never forgive him.

Wouldn’t that be like slapping himself in the face?

If word of this got out, Gadfly knew he would become a laughingstock.

Unaware that he was being monitored, Kai continued to act freely in Purgatory. Since there was no one else around, he saw no need to hold back!
