Chapter 5374 of the Dragon King Order: Lawless
However, just at that moment, a cultivator hiding in the shadows suddenly shot a poisoned arrow, aiming straight for David’s back.
“Watch out!”
David noticed, but it was too late to dodge, and he could only channel his spiritual energy to protect his back.
The arrow struck the spiritual barrier with a “puff” sound. Although it didn’t injure David, the poison on the arrow penetrated his spiritual energy and penetrated his body, causing sharp pain in his meridians.
“Hahaha, Master Chen, this ‘Spirit Eroding Poison’ specifically targets the spiritual energy of cultivators. In less than half an hour, you’ll be completely drained, leaving you vulnerable!” Liu Kun laughed heartily.
David’s face changed slightly. He could feel the poison slowly eroding his spiritual energy.
He knew he couldn’t fight for long; he had to break through the formation and escape as quickly as possible.
He took a deep breath and forced his spiritual energy to explode
. The spiritual energy within David instantly exploded.
“Break!”
David shouted, and swung the Dragon Slaying Sword, unleashing a giant bolt of silver lightning that struck the formation’s light curtain.
“Boom!”
The lightning struck the light curtain, causing it to tremble violently and cracks to appear.
Liu Kun was shocked to see this, and immediately mobilized his spiritual power to strengthen the formation: “Quick, kill him! We can’t let him escape!”
The black-clad monks attacked frantically, and David was caught in a dilemma, with more and more wounds on his body.
However, relying on the power of chaos and the powerful body of the golden dragon bloodline, he managed to withstand the attack and swung his sword again towards the crack in the light curtain.
“Crack!” The light curtain finally shattered, and the soul-locking formation was shattered. David seized the opportunity, his figure flashed, and he rushed out of Yaoyue Pavilion and fled outside Xiangguo Mansion.
“Chase! We must bring him back!” Liu Kun roared, and personally led the black-clad monks in pursuit.
David rushed out of the Prime Minister’s Residence and fled to the outskirts of the Divine Capital.
The soul-corroding poison within him continued to spread, sapping his spiritual power. Liu Kun and the black-robed monks continued to tail him, closing in on him.
David needed to find a safe place, calm his mind, and use the Heart Concentration Technique to purify the poison.
“David, you can’t escape! Give up!”
Liu Kun’s voice echoed from behind, tinged with a smug grin.
David gritted his teeth, not daring to turn around, desperately summoning the power of chaos to maintain his speed.
He knew that if he were caught, he would be no match for Liu Kun in his current state.
Liu Kun’s cultivation was at the Human Immortal Realm, second only to Wu Hao in the Divine Kingdom. If not for the sneak attack with the Soul-Locking Formation and the soul-corroding poison, David might not have been at a disadvantage. But now, poisoned and weakened, his spiritual power was no match for Liu Kun’s.
After escaping the gates of the Divine Capital, David fled towards the mountains and forests outside the city.
The dense trees in the forest made it easy to hide, and perhaps he could escape his pursuers.
He entered the forest, taking advantage of the terrain to constantly change directions. The footsteps and shouts of the pursuers behind him gradually drowned out the silence of the forest.
David found a secluded cave, entered, and dared to stop. He leaned against the cave wall, panting, feeling weak all over. He
immediately sat cross-legged, practicing the “Concentrated Heart Technique” to purify the corrosive poison.
The power of the golden dragon flowed slowly, purifying the poison invading his body bit by bit.
However, the corrosive poison was extremely stubborn, and it was not easy to completely remove it.
David practiced the technique for an hour before purifying more than half of the poison.
Just then, a familiar voice sounded from outside the cave: “Fellow Daoist Chen? Are you in there?”
David’s heart pounded, recognizing Ziyuan’s voice. He immediately stood up and walked out of the cave: “Fellow Daoist Ziyuan, what brings you here?”
Ziyuan saw David covered in wounds, his clothes torn, and his face pale. He rushed forward and asked, “Fellow Daoist Chen, what happened to you? Did Liu Kun attack you? I went to the Prime Minister’s Mansion looking for you and found it in chaos. Liu Kun’s men said you attacked the Prime Minister and fled in fear of punishment. I knew something was wrong and immediately chased him away.”
“Liu Kun targeted my Dragon Slaying Sword and Golden Dragon Bloodline, then set a trap to kill me and steal the treasure.”
David briefly recounted his experience in the Prime Minister’s Palace. “If I hadn’t fought tooth and nail to break through the Soul-Locking Formation, I might have become his prisoner.
” Ziyuan’s face darkened. “How dare Liu Kun attack your guest in broad daylight? He’s truly outrageous! I will return to the palace to report to your Majesty and punish him.”
