Chapter 5009

“Fellow Daoist Chen, don’t waste your resources on me. I won’t survive.”

“I’ve gained plenty along the way. Don’t worry about me…”

Xiu Rui forced a faint smile.

“Don’t talk nonsense! If I say you’ll live, then you’ll live. I have more than enough resources—you don’t need to save them for me!” Kai snapped, his voice urgent and filled with frustration.

If Xiu Rui gave up hope, even a Daluo Golden Immortal wouldn’t be able to save him.

Cough, cough…

Xiu Rui coughed up another mouthful of blood, this time laced with bits of his internal organs.

It was clear his injuries were critical.

“Alright, don’t move. I’ll heal you…” Kai stepped forward, knowing that without immediate treatment, Xiu Rui wouldn’t make it.

“Fellow Daoist Chen, watch out!”

Xiu Rui’s eyes flew open. With the last of his strength, he suddenly lunged forward!

Puff!

A longsword pierced straight through Xiu Rui’s body. A black-robed man from the Eighth Palace kicked him aside!

Xiu Rui collapsed once more. This time, the light had left his eyes—he couldn’t even speak.

“You bastard…”

Kai’s heart surged with panic. He swung the Dragon Slaying Sword, unleashing a blinding arc of sword light that split the sky!

In an instant, the black-robed man was cleaved in two.

But when Kai turned to Xiu Rui again, he found him completely still—silent.

Kai’s body trembled, a terrifying murderous intent rising like a tide.

Though they hadn’t known each other long, Xiu Rui had rushed to help the moment he heard Kai was in danger.

And now, he had died here. Xiu Rui had died for him.

More black-clothed men from the Eighth Palace were closing in on Kai.

“Kill…”

Kai roared, his face twisted with rage.

“Nine Shadow Sword Technique…”

Kai swung the Dragon Slashing Sword in his hand!

In an instant, multiple figures materialized—eight identical copies of Kai appeared, each wielding a Dragon Slashing Sword!

Swish!

Eight sword lights shot out at once, and in a flash, the dozen black-clad men charging at Kai were all sliced clean in half!

The sudden appearance of so many identical Kais left everyone stunned!

But Kai charged forward without hesitation.

Although summoning so many clones with the Nine Shadow Sword Technique rapidly drained his strength—

It could even cost him his life in the end—

Kai no longer cared. Right now, his heart was filled with only one thing: kill them all!

His Dragon Slashing Sword gleamed with a blood-red aura, and every swing summoned a rain of crimson across the battlefield.

The seven shadows danced in unison with his true form, shredding any enemy who dared approach into pieces.

Corpses piled up like mountains. Rivers of blood flowed across the ground, glowing eerily in the moonlight, dyeing this Shura battlefield crimson.

But the forces of Feihu City and the black-clad warriors of the Eight Palaces kept coming—endless, wave after wave.

Kai could feel his spiritual power draining like floodwaters breaking through a dam. Each swing of the sword felt like it tore through his life force.

His face grew increasingly pale, blood trickling from the corners of his mouth, but the killing intent in his eyes only intensified. One thought echoed in his mind: kill them all!

“Kill—!!!”

Kai’s eyes burned red, and the murderous aura around him surged like a tangible force. With every slash of the Dragon Slashing Sword, a new wave of blood poured down.

The soldiers of Feihu City and the black-clad fighters fell like cut wheat, but there were simply too many of them!

“Kai! If you keep going like this, you’ll die of exhaustion!”

Hu Mazi shouted through gritted teeth. Talismans exploded in his hands, forcing several attackers back. But his face was pale as paper—his spiritual power nearly spent.
