Chapter 5376

Zi Yuan struggled to break free from the chains, but was hit by a wave of spiritual power. Her body became unstable, and she spat out a mouthful of blood. Her face instantly turned as pale as paper.

At the same time, an almost inaudible poisonous gas entered Zi Yuan’s body through her lower abdomen.

“Fellow Daoist Ziyuan!”

Seeing this, Kai’s eyes were bloodshot and he wanted to rush over to help, but Liu Kun slapped him on the back, causing him to spit out blood again and stagger to his knees.

“Kai! Do you understand how powerful I am now?”

Liu Kun walked up to Kai, stepped on his back, and said with a sinister smile, “Hand over the Dragon Slaying Sword and the Soul, and I may be able to let you die more peacefully.”

Kai lay on the ground with blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, but his eyes remained firm.

He looked at the injured Zi Yuan not far away, then looked at Liu Kun’s smug face, and the anger and unwillingness in his heart erupted like a volcano.

He suddenly looked up, a golden light flashed in his eyes, and the dragon crystal on his chest lit up again. This time, the light was brighter than ever before.

“ah–!”

Kai let out a roar like a dragon’s roar, and the golden dragon blood in his body completely erupted. Golden scales emerged from under his skin, and a huge golden dragon condensed behind him. The cave was instantly filled with golden light.

His aura soared, and he temporarily suppressed the soul-corroding poison, bursting out with strength close to the first level of the human immortal realm.

Liu Kun was so shocked by the sudden force that he stepped back repeatedly, a look of shock on his face. “The true form of the Golden Dragon? Impossible! You’re clearly poisoned, how can you still unleash such power?”

Kai ignored him, rushed to Zi Yuan and picked her up.

At the same time, he swung the Dragon-Slaying Sword, and golden sword energy burst out, forcing back the black-robed monks who were besieging Zi Yuan.

“Liu Kun, I will remember this humiliation today! I will repay you a hundredfold one day!”

Kai roared angrily, and the indestructible golden body wrapped around his whole body. He activated the Fire Control Step and rushed towards the top of the cave with Zi Yuan.

“Boom!”

The rocks on the top of the cave were smashed to pieces. Kai rushed out holding Zi Yuan and flew towards the depths of the forest.

Liu Kun reacted and roared, “Chase! We must catch them!”

The black-robed monks spread out their bodies and chased in the direction where Kai fled.

But Kai used the golden dragon bloodline to burst out at an extremely fast speed, and soon left the pursuers behind.

He carried the weak-breathing Zi Yuan in his arms and galloped all the way until he was sure that he had completely escaped the pursuers, and then he stopped in a hidden valley.

“Fellow Daoist Ziyuan, how are you?”

Kai put Ziyuan on the ground and asked anxiously.

Zi Yuan was covered in wounds and poisoned, her breath was weak, and she had fallen into a coma.

Kai quickly took out the healing pill, pried open her mouth and fed it in, then used the power of the dragon to help her refine the medicinal power.

Looking at Zi Yuan’s pale face, Kai’s eyes flashed with ruthlessness: “Liu Kun, this feud is irreconcilable! I will definitely expose your conspiracy and make you pay with blood!”

Liu Kun led the pursuers to search in the mountains and forests for a whole hour, but still could not find any trace of Kai, so he had to return to the Prime Minister’s Mansion angrily.

In the study, Liu Kun paced back and forth, his face so gloomy that water could drip out of it – Kai’s escape meant that his plot had been exposed. Once Kai found Wu Hao and told him the truth, he would be doomed.

“Sir, what should we do now? Kai has escaped. If he goes to the king to complain, we will be in trouble!”

A black-robed monk asked anxiously.

Liu Kun stopped abruptly, a fierce look flashing in his eyes. “Why are you panicking? Kai is poisoned and injured. Even if we find Wu Hao, we may not be able to gain his trust. Besides, I already have a backup plan.”

He turned to look at his trusted advisor, “Prepare the carriage immediately. I need to go to the palace to see the king.”

Inside the palace, Wu Hao was worried because Kai hadn’t returned yet. When he heard Liu Kun wanted to see him, he couldn’t help but wonder, “Why would Liu Kun come to see me at this time?”
