Chapter 5375 of the Dragon King Order is just like this
“No!”
David grabbed Zi Yuan’s wrist, his tone urgent and firm. “Since Liu Kun dared to attack me so openly, he must have come prepared.
He has been operating in the Divine Capital for many years, and he has loyalists throughout the palace. If you report this to the king now, not only will you fail to persuade him, but you might even fall into Liu Kun’s trap.
He might accuse us of colluding with foreign enemies and plotting to assassinate the Prime Minister. With his current strength, he might be able to twist the facts.”
Zi Yuan was stunned for a moment, then her expression darkened. “Then what should we do? We can’t let him trap us like this, right?”
“Now isn’t the time to argue. Let’s get away from our pursuers first!”
David had just finished speaking when the sound of heavy footsteps and Liu Kun’s furious roar echoed in the distance. “David! You can’t escape! Leave the Dragon Slaying Sword and the Golden Dragon Spirit behind, and I’ll spare your life!”
Their expressions paled. They hurriedly searched the cave, diving deeper, hoping to find another way out.
However, the cave was a dead end, with no exit beyond the entrance. Liu Kun, along with a dozen black-robed monks, quickly chased to the cave entrance, blocking the only exit.
“Hahaha, David, let’s see where you can run!”
Liu Kun stood at the cave entrance, his gaze sweeping gloomily across the cave. When he saw Zi Yuan, a flash of surprise flashed across his eyes, then he sneered, “Master Zi Yuan is here too? What, you want to betray the Divine Kingdom?”
“Liu Kun! You’re slandering me!”
Zi Yuan stepped forward, blocking David, and angrily scolded him, “Fellow Daoist Chen is an honored guest personally invited by the Master. How dare you set a trap to kill him and even accuse him of rebellion? Do you still have any respect for the Master and the laws of the Divine Kingdom?”
“Law?”
Liu Kun snorted, his eyes filled with contempt. “In this Divine Capital, my word is law! David possesses a precious treasure and possesses the blood of the Golden Dragon. Letting him live will only bring disaster upon us. I will cleanse the Divine Kingdom of this scourge!
As for you, Zi Yuan, if you know what’s good for you, get the hell out of here, or I’ll finish you off too!”
“I know who dares to touch Fellow Daoist Chen!”
Zi Yuan summoned a turquoise longsword, her spiritual energy flowing, and the aura of a level eight Earth Immortal emanated from her.
Although she knew she was no match for Liu Kun, she couldn’t back down now.
“You’re courting death!”
A sharp glint flashed across Liu Kun’s eyes, and he shouted to the black-robed monks behind him, “Go! Kill Zi Yuan first, then capture David!”
Two level eight Earth Immortal monks dressed in black immediately charged forward, one summoning chains, the other brandishing a longsword, attacking Zi Yuan.
Zi Yuan, undaunted, drew her cyan sword to meet the attack, her blade glinting as she faced the two men.
Despite her high cultivation level, she was quickly overwhelmed when flanked by two cultivators of the same cultivation level.
Liu Kun locked his gaze on David, and in a flash, he charged towards him.
His first-stage human immortal aura erupted, creating a powerful pressure that made it difficult for David to breathe.
“David, prepare to die!”
Liu Kun struck out with his palm, his palm fused with black spiritual energy, carrying a sinister aura as it struck David’s chest.
David gritted his teeth, channeled the remaining spiritual energy within him, and swung the Dragon Slaying Sword to meet the attack.
With a clang, the Dragon Slaying Sword collided with Liu Kun’s palm, and David felt a surge of force, his arm going numb. He was thrown back, hitting the cave wall and spitting out blood. The
corrosive spirit poison took advantage of this situation, causing unbearable pain in his meridians and stagnation in his spiritual energy.
“Hahaha, that’s enough!”
Liu Kun, taking advantage of the situation, charged again, his palm striking fiercely and deadly. David could barely hold himself together, and soon several more wounds appeared on his body, staining his clothes red with blood.
Elsewhere, Zi Yuan was in danger of being surrounded by two black-robed monks.
One monk took advantage of her weakness and wrapped chains around her wrists, while the other slashed with his long sword, aiming for her shoulder.
