Chapter 5425 of the Dragon King Order: Beast Cultivator
“Catch them, God will reward you accordingly…”
shouted a demon general, leading his men after David and Wu Hao.
Seeing this, David, carrying Wu Hao on his back, staggered through the forest.
Wu Hao’s wounds were still bleeding, a warm liquid soaking David’s back. Every step felt like stepping on the edge of a knife.
He had to avoid the relentless pursuit of the demonic cultivators behind him while protecting the unconscious Wu Hao on his back. His spiritual energy had been completely depleted in the previous battle, and now he was relying only on his meager willpower to hold on.
“Don’t run! Surrender now, and I’ll finish you off quickly!”
the demon general roared from behind. Black demonic energy spread through the forest like a venomous snake. Several sharp demonic blades grazed David’s shoulder, shattering the trunks of nearby trees.
David gritted his teeth, not daring to look back. He desperately channeled his remaining spiritual energy and quickened his pace.
Ahead was the direction of Cloud Valley, but the demonic cultivators were getting closer. Seeing that he was about to be surrounded, his heart sank slowly – was he really going to die here today?
At this moment, a deafening beast roar suddenly came from the side!
More than ten demon cultivators dressed in animal skins and holding bone spears rushed out of the dense forest.
The leader was a burly bear cultivator. He was covered in thick brown hair, and the bone spear in his hand shone with a sharp, cold light. He shouted at the demon cultivators: “A group of monstrous demon cubs dare to wander into my beast tribe’s territory!”
“It’s the beast tribe!” David was both surprised and delighted, and a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes.
When the demon cultivator general saw the beast cultivators, his face was grim: “You stupid beasts dare to block our path? Kill them!”
Dozens of demon cultivators immediately turned and pounced on the beast cultivators.
The bear leader roared, charging forward first, stabbing a demon cultivator in the chest with a bone spear.
The demon cultivator hurriedly used his magic blade to block. With a loud “klang,” the magic blade was knocked away by the bone spear. Before the demon cultivator could react, the bear leader kicked him to the ground, and the bone spear pierced his throat.
“Kill!”
The other beast cultivators also launched their attacks.
The wolf cultivators were agile and nimble, moving like ghosts among the demon cultivators, their bone blades constantly taking lives.
The fox cultivators cast illusions, confusing the demon cultivators and creating opportunities for their comrades to attack. For a moment, the forest was filled with the flash of swords, the roars of beasts, and the screams of demon cultivators.
David knew that the beast cultivators were stalling for time.
He took a deep breath and called out to the bear leader, “Thank you, brothers! We have important matters, so
I entrust these demon cultivators to you!” The bear leader glanced at him, grinning, its sharp fangs bared. “Fellow Daoist Chen, go with confidence! As long as we’re still breathing, we won’t let these demonic creatures catch up to you! Remember, stay alive. Rebuilding Sixth Heaven and destroying these demonic cultivators depends on you!” It was clear that
the bear leader knew David and Wu Hao, and that was why he had come to help.
However, he also knew that Sixth Heaven was now controlled by demonic cultivators, and rushing in to help David would only result in his own death.
David’s eyes immediately filled with tears.
He nodded solemnly, and without hesitation, he carried Wu Hao on his back and ran toward Cloud Valley.
He didn’t dare look back, knowing that every time he did, the guilt he felt would only increase. The beast cultivators could have avoided the battle and hidden, but they chose to fight to the death alongside the powerful demonic cultivators to save them.
The sounds of battle behind him grew more intense, and the occasional screams of the beastmen could be heard, each like a hammer striking David’s heart.
He clenched his fists, his nails digging deep into his palms, and blood dripped from his fingers.

He silently swore in his heart: I, David, will never forget the kindness you have shown me today! Sooner or
later, I will make these demonic cultivators pay back double the debt of blood they owe me! After running for who knows how long, David finally saw the outline of Cloud Valley.
The valley entrance was shrouded in mist, and faint traces of spatial fluctuations were visible—it was the forbidden spatial technique Wu Hao had mentioned.
He felt relieved and quickened his pace, leading Wu Hao to the valley entrance.
At this moment, the sounds of fighting behind him suddenly stopped.
David’s body froze. He slowly turned around and saw that in the dense forest in the distance, the black demonic energy had disappeared, leaving only the corpses of more than a dozen beast cultivators lying on the ground.
The bear leader’s body was nailed to a large tree, a bone spear stuck in his chest, but his eyes were still wide open, as if he were still glaring at the demonic cultivators.
“Ah!”
David let out a muffled roar, his eyes bloodshot. He bowed deeply towards the corpse of the beast cultivator, his voice hoarse but firm: “Brothers, don’t worry, I will definitely avenge you! I will definitely banish those demonic cultivators from Sixth Heaven!”
Wu Hao seemed to sense David’s emotions, slowly opened his eyes, and asked weakly: “David… what’s wrong?”
David wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, pretending to be calm: “It’s okay, we’ve already arrived at Yunwu Valley. Just endure a little longer, and we’ll soon find someone from the Medicine King Sect to heal you.”
He helped Wu Hao and walked towards the valley entrance.
Wu Hao struggled to stretch out his hands, forming complicated hand seals, and muttered to himself.
As he chanted the incantation, the space at the valley entrance began to distort, and a transparent light curtain slowly appeared. David helped Wu Hao and walked into the light curtain step by step. The valley entrance behind him slowly returned to its original state, blocking out all the sadness and hatred.
As he entered Cloud Valley, the scenery before him suddenly changed—the chirping of birds, the fragrance of flowers, the air filled with the scent of medicine, a complete contrast to the blood and darkness outside.
However, David’s mood was so heavy that he couldn’t breathe. The images of the beastmen monks who had fallen in battle kept flashing through his mind. Those bright faces, those determined eyes, were deeply engraved in his heart.
He knew that from now on, the responsibility on his shoulders would become even heavier.
He not only had to cure Wu Hao, but he also had to retrieve the sacrificial ritual book and save Sixth Heaven. He also had to seek justice for the beastmen monks who had sacrificed their lives to protect them.
“Demonic Cultivators… Soul Eaters…”
David murmured in a low voice, a glint of cruelty in his eyes. He gripped the Dragon Slaying Sword in his hand, and the blade of the sword trembled slightly, as if reflecting the anger in his heart.
At that moment, several women in white dresses rushed over, medicine boxes in hand, their faces wary. “Who are you? Why are you here in the Medicine King Sect?” “
We’re here for medical treatment!”
David exclaimed quickly, hugging Wu Hao even tighter. “He’s seriously injured and urgently needs treatment. Please be patient, ladies!”
The women exchanged glances, and one of them, who appeared to be the leader, stepped forward, carefully examining Wu Hao’s wounds. Her brows furrowed. “He’s seriously injured, and he’s been infected by demonic energy… Please come with us. The Sect Master is in the front hall. Whether we should save him depends on his decision.”
David quickly thanked them, picked Wu Hao up, and followed the women toward the front hall.
Along the way, he noticed that the Medicine King Sect was actually filled with women—some picking herbs, some concocting potions, and some teaching medical skills. Each of them wore focused expressions, a stark contrast to the chaos outside.
At the entrance of the front hall, the woman in the lead stopped and called out, “Master, there are two guests seeking treatment. One of them is seriously injured and has been eroded by demonic energy.”
“Let them in.”
A gentle and calm voice sounded from within.
