Chapter 5422
Kai carried Wu Hao on his back and ran desperately through the mountains and forests.
But Wu Hao’s injuries were too severe. Blood kept oozing out of the wound, wetting Kai’s clothes, and his speed gradually slowed down.
The army of demon souls behind them was getting closer and closer, and the cold demonic energy was almost swallowing them up.
“Kai, this is not a solution…”
Wu Hao lay on Kai’s back, his voice so weak that it was almost inaudible, “There are too many demon souls, we can’t escape…”
Kai gritted his teeth, veins popping out on his forehead: “Don’t be discouraged, we can escape!”
“it’s useless……”
Wu Hao shook his head slightly, a hint of determination flashing in his eyes, “Kai, listen to me, the sacrificial manual cannot fall into the hands of the evil cultivators, but we now… have no choice.”
He struggled to pull out the golden treasure box from his arms and handed it to Kai. “When I yell ‘Run’, you rush towards the valley in the east. I’ll throw the treasure book out to attract their attention.”
“no!”
Kai immediately refused, “If the Priest’s Manual is obtained by that Soul Devourer, the Sixth Heaven will be finished.”
“There’s no time!”
Wu Hao interrupted him, his voice filled with unquestionable determination, “Only in this way can we have a chance to survive! Only by surviving can we have a chance to recapture the treasure book and save the Sixth Heaven!”
At this time, Soul Devourer had caught up, and the black demonic energy condensed into a giant hand, grabbing towards the two again.
A fierce look flashed in Wu Hao’s eyes, and he suddenly shouted, “Kai, run!”
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly threw the golden treasure box in the opposite direction.
The treasure box drew a golden arc in the air and landed on an open space not far away with a light “pop” sound.
“Sacrificial Manual!”
When Soul Eater saw the treasure box, greed instantly flashed in his eyes. He no longer cared about chasing Kai and Wu Hao. He immediately turned over and jumped off the lion, running quickly towards the treasure box.
The two Wushuang elders and the army of demon souls were also attracted by the treasure box and surrounded it, and a gap appeared in the encirclement in an instant.
“Now!”
Kai’s heart tightened. Taking advantage of the moment when the demon souls were distracted, he carried Wu Hao on his back and rushed towards the valley in the east with all his strength.
The wind whistled in his ears, and behind him came the loud laughter of Soul Devourer as he opened the treasure box. The laughter was harsh and arrogant, making Kai clench his fists even tighter.
The two men ran all the way until they could no longer hear the sound of the pursuers behind them, and then they dared to stop.
Kai put Wu Hao under a big tree and sat down on the ground, breathing heavily.
At this time, the Soul Devourer was riding on a lion, holding the sacrificial book in his arms with both hands. The light of the golden treasure box seeped out through his fingers, but was tightly wrapped by the demonic energy surging around him, as if even this sacred light was about to be dyed black.
He no longer had time to care about Kai and Wu Hao. Now that he had the Priest’s Book in his hands, he had to release the demon soul suppressed in the God’s Capital as soon as possible.
The army of demon souls behind the Soul Devourer followed closely behind him like a black torrent. Wherever they passed, the remaining runes of the kingdom of God on the streets of the Divine Capital dimmed and shattered. The originally solemn palace walls were covered with dark purple demonic patterns, and the smell of blood and decay in the air became stronger and stronger.
“My Lord, the entrance to the Nine Nether Abyss is just ahead!”
The old man on the left of the two Wushuang elders stepped forward quickly and pointed to a deep valley blocked by huge rocks in front of them, his voice full of uncontrollable enthusiasm.
The huge stone was engraved with demon-suppressing runes left by the ancestors of the Kingdom of God. Although the golden light was weak, it was still stubbornly resisting the erosion of demonic energy.
Soul Devourer reined in the lion, his hollow eye sockets scanning the boulder as a sinister smile played on his lips. “Back then, our ancestors of the Divine Nation went to great lengths to seal it with a boulder, and even tried to cover it up with runes. How ridiculous! Today, I will allow the 100,000 demon souls beneath the Nine Nether Abyss to see the light of day again!”
He turned over and jumped off the lion, then walked to the boulder holding the sacrificial book.
