Chapter 5686
But she was clearly at her limit; blood trickled from the corner of her mouth, her clothes were torn in several places, revealing bloodstained skin, and her steps were somewhat unsteady.
“Stop resisting! Hand over the ‘Nine-Turn Pill’ you obtained in the ancient cultivator’s cave obediently, and we brothers might grant you a quick death!”
the leader, a scarred-faced demonic cultivator, sneered, his eyes filled with lust and greed.
“Don’t even think about it! Even if I die, I will never let you succeed!”
the female cultivator gritted her teeth, her sword strikes becoming even more rapid, but her openings widened.
Kai, hidden in the shadows, frowned slightly.
He hadn’t wanted to meddle, but seeing the three demonic cultivators ganging up on him with their despicable methods, and knowing that the “Nine-Turn Pill” they mentioned was indeed a rare elixir for healing and enhancing cultivation, beneficial to his current situation, he thought.
“Fine, since we’ve stumbled upon you, this is your fate,”
Kai silently resolved. He wasn’t a pushover, but he had his own bottom line.
Just as the scarred-faced demonic cultivator seized an opening, his demonic claw aimed straight for the female cultivator’s back, about to succeed—
“Swoosh!”
A subtle yet incredibly sharp sword aura, seemingly appearing from nowhere, struck first and pierced the scarred-faced demonic cultivator’s brow!
The demonic cultivator’s sinister smile froze instantly, his eyes filled with disbelief and terror. He swayed, then collapsed, lifeless.
“Big Brother!”
The other two demonic cultivators were shocked, their attacks halting.
The female cultivator was also stunned, the shock of escaping death leaving her momentarily speechless.
Kai’s figure appeared in the arena like a ghost. His face was somewhat pale; the precise sword aura he had just unleashed, seemingly effortless, had actually aggravated his internal injuries.
Without a word, he drew his fingers like a sword, the power of the Five Elements flowing within him. Though weak, it carried an inherent crushing force.
“Time Slowdown!”
An invisible force field enveloped the other two demonic cultivators, their movements instantly slowing.
“Die!”
Kai let out a low shout. His Dragon-Slaying Sword, without even being drawn, merely swept across the necks of the two men with a condensed sword aura, as easily as slicing through tofu
. Two heads flew into the air, their faces still showing expressions of horror and bewilderment.
“Pfft—”
Having forcibly used his inner energy to kill three people, Kai could no longer suppress his surging blood and qi. He spat out a mouthful of blood, swaying slightly, and only managed to steady himself by using his sword for support.
His face grew even paler, and his breathing became erratic, clearly indicating that his injuries had worsened considerably.
He took a deep breath, barely managing to calm himself, and looked at the still-shaken female cultivator, about to speak.
But then he saw the female cultivator quickly check herself, and finding no serious injury, she didn’t even glance at Kai. She directly ransacked the storage bags of the three demonic cultivators, then turned into a streak of purple light, intending to leave immediately!
Kai was stunned.
Although he didn’t seek any reward, this female cultivator’s actions were far too cold-hearted.
Besides, he killed the person himself, so the storage bag should belong to him.
And yet, he had aggravated his injuries while saving her, and she hadn’t even offered a word of thanks, as if what had just happened had nothing to do with her. A nameless anger rose within him.
Kai took a deep breath and shouted in a deep voice, “Stop!”
His voice wasn’t loud, but it carried an undeniable authority and a hoarseness due to his injuries. The female cultivator’s figure paused slightly in mid-air, then slowly turned around. She was beautiful, but her face was now frosty. Her beautiful eyes held not gratitude, but rather a hint of wariness and… impatience? ”What advice do you have, fellow Daoist?” Her voice was cold and distant. Kai suppressed his displeasure and tried to remain calm, saying, “Miss, although I acted voluntarily just now, my injuries were ultimately aggravated because of you. Isn’t it a bit inappropriate for you to leave like this?” Upon hearing this, the female cultivator’s lips curled into a mocking smile. She looked Kai up and down, her gaze sweeping over his pale face and blood-stained clothes.
