Chapter 5421
“Forget it, there will be plenty of opportunities to collect them in the future.”
Xue Wuying put away the cloth bag, turned around and followed the army of demon souls, heading in the direction that Soul Devourer was chasing.
Kai fought fiercely with the two Wushuang elders for dozens of rounds, and gradually felt his spiritual power was exhausted.
His arms began to ache, his forehead was covered with sweat, and the golden light on the Dragon Slaying Sword dimmed a little.
He looked up and found that the monks had fled far away, and he felt relieved.
“It’s time to go!”
Kai made a feint and swung the Dragon Slaying Sword towards the face of the old man on the left. The old man hurriedly drew his sword to block. Kai took the opportunity to turn around and ran in the opposite direction of the monks, and soon disappeared into the mountains and forests.
The two Wushuang elders wanted to give chase, but were blocked by several golden sword lights left by Kai.
When the sword light dissipated, Kai had already disappeared.
“Forget it, let’s go after the Lord first!” said the old man on the right. The two looked at each other and rushed in the direction where the Soul Devouring Lord was chasing.
At this time, the Soul Devourer was riding a lion, his hooves crushing the rocks. His eyes were fixed on the stumbling and fleeing Wu Hao, and his roar echoed through the valley: “Wu Hao! Leave the sacrificial manual behind! I will spare your soul from being torn apart!”
The wound on Wu Hao’s shoulder was still bleeding. Every time he ran, his broken meridians were pulled, and the severe pain made his vision go black.
But he held the golden treasure box in his arms. This was the last hope of the Sixth Heaven and it must not fall into the hands of the devil.
He used up his last bit of spiritual power and sped up a bit, but the evil spirit behind him was still following him like a shadow, and the cold murderous intent almost froze his soul.
“If you don’t accept my toast, I’ll punish you!”
Seeing that Wu Hao refused to surrender, the Soul Devourer’s eyes filled with murderous intent. He suddenly raised his right hand, and a dark demonic energy condensed into a sharp claw, which rushed straight towards Wu Hao’s back with a sharp sound that tore through the air.
Wu Hao felt a chill on the back of his neck and wanted to dodge but it was too late.
At this critical moment, a golden sword light suddenly slashed out from the side, and with a crisp “clang” sound, it forcibly shattered the demonic claws.
Kai, holding the Dragon Slaying Sword, landed beside Wu Hao like lightning, his face solemn, “Lord, I’ll cover you, you leave quickly!”
“Kai! Why are you back?”
Wu Hao was surprised and delighted, but then despair surged over him. “No! There are too many demon souls. We can’t escape!”
At this time, the two Wushuang elders had surrounded them with dozens of elite demon souls. Black demonic energy surged around them, forming an airtight encirclement.
Soul Devourer, riding a lion, looked down at the two of them with a cruel smile on his face. “Now that you’re here, don’t even think about leaving! Today, I will bury you two with the Sacrificial Book!”
Before he finished speaking, the two Wushuang elders swung their swords at the same time, and two sharp sword energies intertwined into a net, covering Kai and Wu Hao.
Kai protected Wu Hao behind him, and the Dragon Slaying Sword danced into a ball of golden light, blocking the sword energy. However, the huge force from the sword still made him take two steps back, and his palm felt a dull pain.
The elite demon souls took the opportunity to pounce, their bone blades flashing coldly as they pierced the two men’s vital points.
While Kai was resisting the attack of the evil spirit, he was also paying attention to Wu Hao’s injuries.
Seeing Wu Hao’s pale face and increasingly weak breath, he became anxious – if he continued to waste time like this, not only would he not be able to protect Wu Hao, he would also be trapped here.
He took a deep breath, and the golden spiritual power around him surged. At the same time, a faint gray light appeared in his palm, and the power of the origin of time quietly circulated.
Under the influence of the power of time, the movements of the demon souls suddenly slowed down, and the sword energy of the two Wushuang elders also lost their previous swiftness.
Kai seized the opportunity, picked up Wu Hao on his back, turned around and rushed into the depths of the forest.
“Soul Devourer! Come after me if you dare!”
Soul Devourer was furious upon seeing this and shouted, “Chase them! Even if I have to turn the entire Sixth Heaven upside down, I will capture them!”
As he spoke, he took the lead and chased after them. The sound of the lion’s hooves shook the mountains and forests. The army of demon souls followed closely behind, and a black torrent spread through the forest.
