Chapter 5887
“The Evil Path Hall!”
Elder Yan Xin’s expression changed drastically. “How did you know our whereabouts?!” ”
Hahaha, old man Yan Xin, you should ask Yama, the King of Hell, that question!”
At the highest point of the cliff, a blood-red figure slowly emerged.
It was Elder Blood Soul of the Evil Path Hall!
He was shrouded in blood-red mist, his scarlet eyes like two ghostly lamps, staring intently at Kai in the caravan.
“You are Kai?”
Elder Blood Soul licked his lips, his eyes filled with greed. “Golden Dragon Bloodline… truly a treasure bestowed by heaven. Today, this elder is determined to have it!”
Before he finished speaking, he waved his hand: “Kill! Leave no one alive! Kai must be alive!”
“Kill—!”
Thousands of Evil Path Hall cultivators roared in unison, their voices like the wails of ten thousand ghosts, shaking the mountain stream.
They surged down from both sides of the cliff like a tidal wave, while at the same time, the vengeful spirits and vengeful ghosts in the formation also shrieked as they rushed towards the caravan!
“Form a defensive array!”
Elder Yan Xin, though severely injured, remained calm in the face of danger. He mustered his immortal power and slammed his cane heavily on the ground: “Earth Fire Profound Gang Array!”
The surviving dozen or so Earth Fire Pavilion disciples quickly formed an array, and a crimson light shield rose again, protecting the three carriages within.
However, this time the light shield was noticeably dimmer—having experienced the continuous attacks of the Flame Dragon and the elder’s serious injury, the Earth Fire Pavilion disciples had exhausted their immortal power and were in extremely poor condition.
Kai, the Crimson Cloud Demon Lord, and the few remaining guards protected the outer perimeter of the array, facing the first wave of attack from the Evil Path Hall.
“Heh heh, ants dare to block the way?”
Three seventh-grade Celestial Immortal level Evil Path Hall deacons were the first to arrive, one wielding a bone staff, one holding a blood blade, and one controlling a ghost banner, attacking Kai from three directions.
The bone staff swung, and thousands of bone spikes poured down like a torrential rain;
the blood blade slashed, and crimson blade light tore through the air; the
ghost banner waved, and dozens of fierce ghosts bared their fangs and claws as they pounced.
Kai’s eyes turned cold, and the Dragon Slayer Sword was finally drawn!
“Clang—!”
A clear, resonant sword cry echoed through the mountain stream, and a hazy, chaotic sword aura soared into
the sky. One sword, and chaos was cleaved! The
gray sword aura swept across, shattering bone spikes, shattering blood blades, and vanishing vengeful spirits wherever it passed!
Three Evil Path Hall deacons screamed and staggered backward. The one wielding the bone staff was grazed on the shoulder by the sword aura, his entire arm severed at the root, blood gushing out!
“A fine sword!”
Elder Blood Soul’s eyes lit up. “This sword must also belong to me!”
He personally took action!
Elder Blood Soul’s figure blurred, transforming into a blood-red afterimage, instantly traversing a hundred-foot distance. A blood-red hand materialized out of thin air, carrying overwhelming bloodthirsty aura, grabbing towards Kai!
A full-force attack from the peak of the eighth rank of the Heavenly Immortal Realm!
Kai dared not be careless, unleashing the full power of his Dragon Slayer Sword. The hazy sword aura collided with the blood-red hand.
“Boom—!”
A terrifying energy shockwave erupted, and several Evil Path Hall cultivators nearby were sent flying backward, vomiting blood, by the aftershocks.
Kai staggered back seven steps, felt a sweet taste in his throat, and forced back the blood that was rising in his throat. Elder Blood Soul also took three steps back, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes: “Good lad, you can still withstand an attack from me while injured? It seems the defeat of Black Wind Valley was indeed not accidental.”
“However, this ends here!”
“Boundless Blood Sea, Ten Thousand Ghosts Pay Homage!”
Elder Blood Soul formed hand seals, and the blood mist around him surged wildly, transforming into a blood-red ocean that dyed half of the mountain stream crimson.
In the blood sea, countless hideous ghost faces emerged, emitting piercing shrieks, sweeping towards Kai!
This was Elder Blood Soul’s signature technique—Blood Sea Ghost Domain!
Once caught in it, not only would the physical body be corroded by the blood sea, but the soul would also be torn apart by ten thousand ghosts, a fate worse than death!
Kai took a deep breath, knowing he could no longer hold back.
He pointed his left hand like a sword, placed it on his brow, and whispered: “Dragon Soul, awaken!”
“Roar—!”
A high-pitched dragon roar rang out again, but this time it did not come from Kai’s body, but from the Dragon-Slaying Sword!
The Dragon-Slaying Sword trembled violently, the ancient dragon patterns on its blade seemingly coming to life. A phantom of a five-clawed golden dragon rose from the sword, much smaller than the one Kai had previously unleashed, yet its dragon might remained awe-inspiring!
This Dragon-Slaying Sword had once slain a true dragon, and a wisp of dragon soul was sealed within it!
Now, awakened by Kai’s own golden dragon bloodline, its power surged!
The golden dragon phantom hovered above Kai’s head, its mouth opening to spew forth a golden dragon breath that clashed fiercely with the encroaching sea of blood!
“Sizzle sizzle sizzle—!”
The golden dragon breath and the blood-red ocean corroded each other, erupting with a piercing sound and a cloud of blood mist.
The myriad ghosts in the sea of blood, upon touching the dragon breath, melted away like ice and snow meeting the blazing sun.
“What?!”
Elder Blood Soul’s expression changed drastically. “You can actually summon a golden dragon?”
Kai didn’t answer. Taking advantage of Elder Blood Soul’s shock, he unleashed the Dragon Slayer Sword with all his might: “Dragon Slayer—Breaking Army!”
The golden dragon soul merged with the sword energy, transforming into a hundred-zhang-long golden-gray sword aura that tore through the sea of blood, directly slashing at Elder Blood Soul!
Elder Blood Soul roared, summoning a blood-red shield to block in front of him.
“Clang—!!!”
The sound of metal clashing echoed through the mountain stream. A deep crack appeared in the blood-red shield, and Elder Blood Soul flew backward, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, clearly suffering a serious injury.
But Kai was also in bad shape.
After continuously battling the Flame Dragon and forcibly summoning the golden dragon, more than half of his immortal power had been consumed, and his blood and qi were severely depleted.
At this moment, his face was as pale as paper, and his hand holding the sword was trembling slightly.
“Kai!”
Huo Ling’er saw clearly from within the formation and cried out in distress, “Are you alright?!”
She wanted to rush out of the formation to help, but Yan Lie held her back tightly: “Junior Sister Ling’er, don’t go out! It’s too dangerous outside!”
“But Kai, he…” Huo Ling’er struggled.
“He’s strong, he has his own way!”
Yan Lie said, a hint of pleasure flashing in his eyes—it would be best if Kai died here, saving him the trouble of doing it himself.
