Chapter 5374

But at this moment, a monk hiding in the dark suddenly shot a poisoned arrow straight at Kai’s back.

“careful!”

When Kai noticed it, it was too late to dodge and he could only use his spiritual power to protect his back.

The hidden arrow hit the spiritual barrier with a “puff” sound. Although it did not hurt Kai, the poison on the arrow penetrated into his body along with the spiritual power, causing a sharp pain in his meridians.

“Hahaha, Mr. Chen, this ‘Spirit-Corroding Poison’ specifically erodes the spiritual power of cultivators. Within half an hour, you will lose all your spiritual power and be at the mercy of others!” Liu Kun laughed wildly.

Kai’s face changed slightly. He could feel that the spiritual power in his body was being slowly eroded by the poison.

He knew that he couldn’t fight for long and had to break through the formation and escape as soon as possible.

He took a deep breath and forced himself to mobilize the spiritual power in his body.

The spiritual power in Kai’s body exploded instantly.

“break!”

Kai shouted loudly, and swung the Dragon Slaying Sword, sending out a huge silver lightning bolt, striking the light curtain of the formation.

“boom!”

The lightning collided with the light curtain, causing it to shake violently and a crack to appear.

Liu Kun was shocked when he saw this and quickly urged his spiritual power to strengthen the formation: “Quick, kill him! Don’t let him escape!”

The black-robed monks attacked frantically, and Kai was caught in a dilemma, with more and more wounds on his body.

But relying on the power of chaos and the strong body of the golden dragon bloodline, he managed to withstand the attack and swung his sword again to chop at the crack in the light curtain.

“Crack!” The light curtain finally shattered, breaking the Soul Locking Formation. Kai seized the opportunity, flashed out of the Yueyue Pavilion, and fled towards the Prime Minister’s Mansion.

“Chase! We must bring him back!” Liu Kun roared and personally led the black-robed monks to chase after him.

Kai rushed out of the Prime Minister’s Mansion and fled all the way to the outside of the city of Shendu.

The soul-corroding poison in his body was constantly spreading, and his spiritual power was becoming weaker and weaker. Liu Kun and the black-clothed monk behind him were chasing him relentlessly, and the distance between them was getting closer and closer.

Kai had to find a safe place, calm down and use the Concentration Mind Technique to refine the poison.

“Kai, you can’t escape! Just surrender!”

Liu Kun’s voice came from behind, with a smug grin.

Kai gritted his teeth and didn’t dare to look back. He could only desperately mobilize the power of chaos to maintain his speed.

He knew that once he was caught up, in his current state, he would definitely not be a match for Liu Kun.

Liu Kun’s cultivation level is at the human immortal realm, second only to Wu Hao in the Kingdom of Gods. If Kai had not used the Soul Locking Formation and the Soul Corrosion Poison to launch a sneak attack just now, he might not have been at a disadvantage. But at this moment, he was poisoned first, and his spiritual power was damaged, so he was no match for Liu Kun at all.

After running out of the gate of Shendu City, Kai fled towards the mountains and forests outside the city.

The mountains and forests are densely covered with trees, making it easy to hide and perhaps escape from pursuers.

He went into the forest and used the terrain to constantly change direction. The footsteps and shouts of the pursuers behind him were gradually drowned out by the silence of the forest.

Kai found a secluded cave and went inside before he dared to stop. He leaned against the cave wall, breathing heavily, feeling weak all over.

He quickly sat down cross-legged and started practicing the “Concentration Heart Technique” to refine the soul-corroding poison.

The power of the golden dragon flows slowly, refining the toxins that have invaded the body bit by bit.

But the Soul-Corroding Poison is extremely stubborn, and it is not easy to completely eliminate it.

Kai practiced his skills for an hour before he was able to refine more than half of the poison.

At this moment, a familiar voice came from outside the cave: “Fellow Daoist Chen? Are you in there?”

Kai’s heart moved, recognizing Zi Yuan’s voice, and he quickly stood up and walked out of the cave: “Fellow Daoist Zi Yuan, why are you here?”

Seeing Kai covered in wounds, his clothes torn, and his face pale, Zi Yuan quickly stepped forward and asked, “Fellow Daoist Chen, how did you get into this state? Did Liu Kun attack you? I went to the Prime Minister’s residence to look for you, and found it in chaos. Liu Kun’s men said you attacked the Prime Minister and fled, fearing your punishment. I knew something was wrong, so I quickly chased you out.”

“Liu Kun coveted my Dragon Slaying Sword and Golden Dragon Bloodline, and set a trap to kill me and steal the treasures.”

Kai briefly recounted what happened at the Xiangguo Mansion. “If I hadn’t fought tooth and nail to break through the Soul Locking Formation, I would have been his prisoner.”

Upon hearing this, Zi Yuan’s face changed drastically: “How dare Liu Kun be so bold! He dared to attack the king’s guest in broad daylight. It’s simply lawless! I will return to the palace now to report to the king and let him convict him.
