Chapter 5421 of the Dragon King’s Order: Why did you come back?
“Forget it, there will be plenty of opportunities to take it later.”
Xue Wuying put away her bag, turned around, and followed the demon soul army towards the Soul Eater.
David, after fighting dozens of rounds with the two Wushuang elders, gradually felt his spiritual power draining.
His arms began to ache, his forehead was covered in sweat, and the golden light of the Dragon Slaying Sword dimmed slightly.
He looked up and saw that the monks had fled, then heaved a sigh of relief.
“It’s time to go!”
David feigned a move, and the Dragon Slaying Sword slashed at the face of the old man on his left. The old man immediately retreated to block. David took the opportunity to turn and run in the opposite direction of the monks, quickly disappearing into the mountains and forests.
The two Wushuang elders tried to give chase, but were blocked by the golden sword light David left behind.
When the sword light dissipated, David had already disappeared.
“Forget it, let’s chase Master first!” said the old man on the right. The two exchanged glances and rushed towards the Soul Eater.
At that moment, the Soul Eater was riding a lion, its hooves crushing the rocks. His eyes fixed on Wu Hao, who was staggering and fleeing in front of him, a fierce look in his eyes. His roar echoed through the valley: “Wu Hao! Leave that sacrificial manual behind! I can save your soul!”
The wound on Wu Hao’s shoulder was still bleeding. Every time he fled, the wound pulled on the severed meridians, and the intense pain made his eyes blacken.
But he still tightly clutched the golden treasure box in his hand. This was Sixth Heaven’s last hope, and it must not fall into the hands of the demons.
He exhausted the last of his spiritual power and his speed increased slightly, but the demonic energy behind him followed him like a shadow, and the cold killing intent almost froze his soul.
“If you don’t accept this toast, you will be punished!”
Seeing Wu Hao refusing to give up, the Soul Eater’s eyes blazed with killing intent. He suddenly stretched out his right hand, and a jet of pitch-black demonic energy condensed into a sharp claw. With a sharp, air-tearing sound, it struck Wu Hao’s back.
Wu Hao felt a chill run down his spine and tried to dodge, but it was too late.
At this critical moment, a golden sword flash suddenly slashed from the side, shattering the demonic claw with a resounding clang.
David, wielding the Dragon Slaying Sword, descended beside Wu Hao at lightning speed, his face grim. “Master, I’ll protect you. Hurry!”
“David! Why have you come back?”
Wu Hao was shocked, overjoyed, and then overcome with despair. “No! There are too many demonic souls. We can’t escape!”
By then, the two Wushuang Elders, along with dozens of elite demonic souls, had surrounded them. Black demonic energy churned around them, forming an impenetrable encirclement.
The Soul Eater, riding a lion, stared at the two men, a cruel smile on his lips. “Since you’re here, don’t even think about leaving! Today, I’ll bury you both with the Sacrificial Treasure Book!”
Before he could finish speaking, the two Wushuang Elders swung their swords simultaneously. Two sharp sword energies intertwined into a net, enveloping David and Wu Hao.
David shielded Wu Hao behind him, his Dragon Slaying Sword dancing in a ball of golden light, deflecting the sword energies. However, the overwhelming sword power still forced him back two steps, his knuckles aching.
The Demon Soul elites seized the opportunity to pounce, their bone blades emitting a cold light, piercing the two men’s vital points.
While fending off the Demon Soul’s attacks, David monitored Wu Hao’s injuries.
Seeing Wu Hao’s pale face and ragged breathing, he felt a wave of anxiety. If he continued like this, not only would he be unable to protect Wu Hao, but he himself would be trapped.
He took a deep breath, and golden spiritual energy surged around him. At the same time, a faint gray light radiated from his palm, and the power of the origin of time flowed quietly.
Under the influence of time, the movements of the demon souls suddenly slowed, and the sword energy of the two Wushuang elders also lost its previous speed.
David seized this opportunity, carried Wu Hao on his back, and turned to rush into the forest.
“Soul Eater! Chase them if you dare!”
Seeing this, the Soul Eater was furious and shouted, “Chase them! Even if it means turning the entire Sixth Heaven upside down, you must catch them!”
As he spoke, he led the chase. The sound of lion hooves shook the forest, and an army of demonic souls followed closely, a black current spreading through the forest.
