Chapter 5452 of the Dragon Emperor’s Order: We Owe Him Our Lives
“Divine Judgement!”
The leader of the golden-armored guards raised his spear high. Golden light burst from the tip, forming a giant pillar of light that sent all the demonic cultivators in front of him flying.
“Ah—!”
the demonic cultivators screamed in agony, their bodies reduced to ashes in the golden light.
However, more demonic spirits and cultivators charged forward, pouncing on the crowd like mad dogs, desperately trying to prevent their escape at all costs.
“Fourth Palace Master, this isn’t the solution!” Wu Hao shouted anxiously. “There are too many demonic cultivators!”
Ling Xi’s face was grim; she could feel her spiritual energy draining rapidly. “Wait! As long as we break through the city gate, there’s still hope!”
“The city gate is just ahead!”
Zi Yuan pointed to the nearest gate, a glimmer of hope in her eyes.
However, at this moment, a horde of black demonic spirits suddenly appeared from the sky. They gathered, forming a giant black barrier, blocking the crowd’s path.
“Hahaha… You can’t escape!”
The Soul Devourer’s arrogant voice rang out from the palace, “Today, you will all die!”
“What should we do?” Ling Yue asked anxiously. Her injuries made it difficult for her to move.
Ling Xi took a deep breath, and a flash of determination flashed in her eyes: “Golden Armored Guards, listen up! Attack with all your strength!”
“Yes!”
The three hundred golden armored guards answered in unison. They released all the spiritual power in their bodies. Golden light gathered into a giant golden spear, stabbing towards the black barrier.
“Bang!”
With a loud bang, the golden spear slammed into the black barrier, producing a powerful shockwave.
The black barrier trembled violently, cracks appearing one after another, but ultimately, it remained intact.
“It’s useless!”
The Soul Devourer’s voice was tinged with teasing. “You think you can break through my defenses like this?”
Lingxi gritted her teeth. She knew that if she couldn’t break through the barrier quickly, they would all die here.
“Four Divine Guards, follow me!” Lingxi shouted.
“Yes!”
The four Divine Guards responded in unison, releasing their powerful spiritual energy, which merged with Lingxi’s cyan spiritual energy.
“Holy Light!”
Lingxi shouted, and the cyan spiritual light and golden spiritual energy intertwined, forming an even more dazzling light that shot towards the black barrier.
“Boom!”
With another loud bang, the black barrier finally yielded to the pressure, a large gap appearing.
“Charge!”
Lingxi shouted, leading the charge towards the gap.
Wu Hao, Zi Yuan, Ling Yue, Hu Mazi, Daoist Wuji, and the others followed closely. Under the protection of the golden-armored guards, they rushed towards the outskirts of the Divine Capital.
“Stop them!”
The demonic cultivators roared, charging forward, trying to close the gap.
“Don’t even try!” shouted the leader of the Golden Armored Guards, brandishing his spear. Golden shadows flew like pear blossoms, eliminating every demonic cultivator who approached.
The group had finally broken free from the Divine Capital, but the demonic cultivators hadn’t given up and were still pursuing.
“We must leave this place as soon as possible!” shouted Lingxi.
Not daring to stop, they desperately fled into the distance.
Behind them, loud voices echoed from the direction of the Divine Capital. It was clear that David, possessed by the Scarlet Cloud Demon King, was still engaged in a fierce battle with the Soul Eater.
“David…” Ziyuan looked back anxiously.
“Don’t worry,” Hu Mazi reassured her. “The Scarlet Cloud Demon King isn’t that easily defeated. He’ll definitely find a way to escape.”
Lingxi stared at the distant Divine Capital, a complicated expression in her eyes: “We owe him our lives.”
Everyone fell silent. They all knew that if the Scarlet Cloud Demon King hadn’t possessed David and stopped the Soul Eater, they would have all perished in the Divine Capital today.
“Let’s find a safe place to heal first, then find a way to come back and save her once we’re recovered,” Ling Xi said.
Everyone nodded and continued fleeing into the distance.
