Chapter 4943

Kai acted freely without holding back, wielding the Dragon-Slaying Sword while continuously absorbing the surrounding evil energy.

This place felt like paradise to him!

But just when Kai thought only the evil spirits and that one demon corpse existed in this purgatory, he suddenly sensed an earth-shattering tremor.

He then saw the ground cracking open not far away, and from the fissures, thousands of demon corpses began crawling out.

“Shit…”

Kai frowned slightly. It had been difficult enough to deal with just one demon corpse earlier—now there were so many.

However, knowing that these demon corpses feared fire, Kai remained calm.

He figured he could use these demon corpses as resources for his cultivation.

Holding the Dragon-Slaying Sword alight with flames, Kai charged straight toward the horde of demon corpses.

Meanwhile, Gadfly, who was observing Kai’s every move, exclaimed in disbelief, “Is this guy crazy? He’s trying to take on so many demon corpses by himself?”

“Father…”

At that moment, Niu Li suddenly burst into the City Lord’s room, seemingly in search of him.

Startled, Gadfly quickly covered the bronze mirror that displayed the scene from purgatory.

However, Niu Li had already caught a glimpse. Though the image flashed by quickly, she was still shocked by what she saw.

“Hey, why is it him?”

Niu Li was stunned when she recognized Kai in the bronze mirror.

“What did you say?” Gadfly asked.

“Father, why was there a human image in your bronze mirror?”

Niu Li stepped forward and lifted the cloth covering the mirror, refusing to let it go.

“Oh, that’s just a scene from inside the Purgatory Field,” Gadfly explained casually. “Someone is undergoing a trial there, so I took a look.”
Gadfly glanced at Niu Li and asked, “You just said… do you know the person undergoing the trial?”

“Ah, I don’t know him…”

Niu Li quickly shook her head in denial. She didn’t dare admit that she knew Kai.

After all, she had given Kai the token and later lost contact with him. If her father found out, it would cause trouble.

“What do you want from me?” Gadfly asked.

“Father, I want to go out and walk around the streets. I’ve been cooped up in the mansion for so long, I’m about to die of boredom,” Niu Li said.

“No. The city hasn’t been peaceful lately. You should stay obediently in the mansion…”

Gadfly refused immediately.

The spies from Flying Tiger City had yet to be rooted out, and it was far too dangerous for Niu Li to wander around alone.

Seeing her father’s firm refusal, Niu Li rolled her eyes in frustration and finally left.

Meanwhile, in the Purgatory, Kai charged into the swarm of demon corpses, the Dragon-Slaying Sword blazing with flames!

The sword, wrapped in fierce fire, tore through the gloomy sky of the Purgatory like a meteor.

As Kai rushed into the demon horde, thousands of rotten throats released sharp, piercing roars. The overwhelming stench hung thick in the air, almost tangible. Greedy light flickered in their murky eyes as they lunged at Kai frantically.

The first demon corpse swung its sharp claws at him. Kai sidestepped swiftly, and the Dragon-Slaying Sword traced a burning red arc.

With a sharp “swish,” the demon corpse was sliced cleanly in half at the waist, golden flames consuming the severed flesh.

Surprisingly, the black evil spirit leaking from the corpse did not dissipate. Instead, it was pulled by an invisible force, streaming continuously into Kai’s body.

Kai’s eyes were sharp as lightning, and the Dragon-Slaying Sword in his hand danced like a whirlwind. Wherever the sword swept, demon corpses were dismembered, and black blood rained down.

Each time he killed a demon corpse, the evil spirit within it was drawn into his body along the Dragon-Slaying Sword like a black serpent.

At first, Kai had to consciously guide the transformation of the evil energy, but as the battle went on, the absorption process grew increasingly natural and smooth.
