Chapter 5430 The Dragon King’s Order: Rescue
The group continued down the ruined road, their minds constantly challenged by the evil deeds of the demonic cultivators.
In a small town, dozens of demonic cultivators surrounded a group of unarmed civilians, their faces grim and their swords drawn.
The civilians screamed in pain. A pregnant woman was kicked to the ground by a demonic cultivator, her fetus bleeding, while the demonic cultivators laughed loudly.
“Stop!”
David, enraged by this scene, drew his Dragon Slaying Sword, shooting golden energy towards the demonic cultivators.
The demonic cultivators turned their heads, and upon seeing David and his group, greed flashed in their eyes: “Another batch of suicidal criminals! Perfect for capturing them and sacrificing them to God!”
The leading demonic cultivator, wielding a demonic sword, charged at David. The sword was shrouded in black demonic energy, exuding a terrifying aura.
David was completely fearless. He swung his Dragon Slaying Sword forward. With a loud “clang,” the magic knife in the demonic cultivator’s hand instantly split into two pieces. The golden sword energy continued to pierce the demonic cultivator’s chest.
The demonic cultivator was shocked and tried to dodge, but it was too late. The sword energy directly pierced his chest, and blood gushed out.
Seeing this, the other demonic cultivators surrounded David. Ling Yue and the Medicine King Sect disciples also immediately took action. White spiritual power and black demonic energy collided in the city, and the sounds of battle immediately rang out.
After the blood fusion, the Medicine King Sect disciples’ cultivation had increased significantly. They cooperated tacitly, and the staffs in their hands continuously cast healing and attack spells.
Ling Yue was even more powerful. Her cultivation at the first level of the Human Immortal Realm allowed her to move freely on the battlefield. Purple spiritual power wrapped around the demonic cultivator like silk ribbons. Every swing could take the life of a demonic cultivator.
In just half an hour, dozens of demonic cultivators were slaughtered.
David approached the deceased pregnant woman, his eyes filled with pity. He gently closed her eyes and said solemnly, “Rest in peace. We will avenge you.”
The surviving cultivators in the city gathered around him, kowtowed to him, and expressed their gratitude.
He helped them to their feet, took out some herbs, and gave them to them. “It’s no longer safe here. Find a secluded place and wait until we quell the demonic cultivators’ rebellion. Then, return and rebuild your homes.”
The cultivators thanked him again and hurried away. As
they continued their journey, similar scenes repeated themselves.
Some villages had been burned to the ground, leaving only shattered walls. Other cities, occupied by demonic cultivators, had their walls covered with the heads of cultivators as a deterrent.
One day, they arrived outside a once-prosperous city. From a distance, they saw a dense pile of skulls hanging from the city walls. Black blood flowed down the walls, forming a pool of blood at the city gate.
At the city gate, several demonic cultivators were escorting a group of monks into the city. The monks’ faces were filled with despair. Some were chained, while others were chained by demonic cultivators holding magic swords on their backs. Any resistance would result in brutal beatings.
“They’re from the Evil Path Hall!”
Wu Hao recognized the demonic cultivators’ attire at a glance, and a trace of hatred flashed in his eyes. “The Evil Path Hall has sided with the Soul Eaters, aiding and abetting evil! They’re probably capturing these cultivators to collect souls and increase their own strength!”
David’s heart tightened as he watched the cultivators being taken away. “We must save them. We must not let the Evil Path Hall succeed!”
Ling Yue nodded. “This city is heavily guarded. We can’t force our way in. We must find a way to sneak in.”
After a brief discussion, they decided that David, Wu Hao, and Ling Yue would sneak in first, while the other disciples would hide outside the city, waiting for the signal to combine forces from within and without.
