Chapter 5681
As the light and dust dissipated, and everyone could barely make out the scene at the center of the battlefield, they all gasped in horror, their hearts sinking into despair.
That overwhelming demonic hand was still there!
Although it had become somewhat ethereal, a deep crack had been cleaved in the palm by Kai’s peerless sword strike, from which countless demonic energies dissipated, but it… had not completely vanished!
Kai, meanwhile, knelt on one knee at the bottom of a massive, deep pit where he had once stood.
His clothes were tattered, and his body was covered in crisscrossing wounds, some so deep they revealed bone. He resembled a broken piece of porcelain, barely pieced back together, his body almost entirely stained with blood. The
Dragon-Slaying Sword lay embedded in the ground beside him, its light dimmed, its dragon roar barely audible.
He coughed up mouthfuls of blood, each cough carrying fragments of his internal organs, his breath utterly feeble, clearly on the verge of death.
He exerted all his strength, even unleashing his strongest attack beyond his normal limits, yet he only barely managed to shake the Soul Devourer’s casual strike, failing to completely shatter him!
The difference in strength was too great! Too great to be utterly despairing!
The Soul Devourer looked at Kai, who was barely holding on in the deep pit, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by a deeper chill.
“To withstand my palm strike and survive, you are the first in the Human Immortal Realm. Unfortunately, it ends here.”
As his words fell, the demonic palm, suspended in the air, though illusory, still radiated terrifying energy, slowly pressed down once more!
This time, the speed was not fast, but it carried a cat-and-mouse playfulness and a killing intent, aiming to wipe Kai and the pit he was in from this world!
At the edge of the pit, Liu Xue struggled to raise her head, looking at the blood-soaked figure at the bottom of the pit, tears mixed with blood blurring her vision, letting out a silent lament.
Embedded in the wall, Yan Nantian’s fingers twitched slightly, but he lacked even the strength to lift his arm. His eyes were filled with boundless rage and helplessness.
All the remaining disciples of the Yanluo Tianzong sect stared palely at the slowly descending demonic hand.
Looking at the figure in the deep pit that seemed destined for destruction, a chilling cold and an irresistible fear, like a cold, venomous snake, coiled around their hearts and choked their breath.It’s over… utterly over…
even Mr. Chen… has failed…
who can… save them?
Despair, like the deepest darkness, swallowed all the light of hope.
“Mr. Chen, hurry up and call out the person behind you, or we’ll all die,”
the heavily injured Yan Nantian said to Kai.
Hearing Yan Nantian’s words, everyone’s gaze fell on Kai, because they knew that their survival now depended on whether Kai could find help.
“Hahaha, I’ll give you a chance to find the person behind you,”
the Soul Devourer said contemptuously.
Kai slowly stood up, took out the jade pendant Shen Zhiyan had given him, and then forcefully crushed it.
The seemingly ordinary jade pendant turned to dust in Kai’s hand, tiny fragments slipping through his fingers, as if symbolizing the shattering of their last hope.
Time seemed to freeze for a moment, only the overwhelming demonic hand, still carrying an irresistible will of death, slowly pressed down on Kai in the deep pit.
The mocking smile on Soul Devourer’s lips grew even more pronounced; he seemed to already see Kai being crushed into a bloody pulp.
However, just as that demonic hand was about to touch Kai’s hair at the critical moment—
“Buzz!!!”
A strange buzzing sound, not from the battlefield, but from a deeper level of the void, as if the laws of heaven and earth had been gently stirred.
