Chapter 5420 of the Dragon King Order All Run Away
Fan Tianyou was surrounded by dozens of demon spirits, his golden spiritual energy growing dimmer, and every blow felt incredibly difficult.
The Ming Half-Beast King was even more seriously injured, his consciousness slowly fading. If not for his stubborn determination, he would have passed out long ago.
“No! We can’t hold on!”
A beast cultivator roared desperately, dropping his battle axe and turning to flee.
His presence was a signal, instantly instilling fear in the other cultivators.
More and more cultivators began to flee, unable to endure the hellish battle any longer and desperately trying to save themselves.
“Don’t run! Hold the line! We still have a chance!”
Ao Lie roared, trying to stop the fleeing cultivators, but he himself was entangled by several demon spirits, unable to land a single blow.
As more and more people fled, the cultivators’ defenses instantly collapsed, and the army of demon spirits seized the opportunity to launch a furious attack, leaving even more cultivators lying in pools of blood.
Wu Hao stared at the scene before him, feeling a surge of despair. He knew that if this continued, everyone would die here, and Sixth Heaven would fall completely into the hands of the demon cultivators.
“The Sacrificial Manual… perhaps, this is our only hope.”
A glimmer of determination flashed across Wu Hao’s eyes. He took out a golden box from his arms. The box was engraved with intricate runes and emitted a faint sacred aura. It was the box that contained the Sacrificial Manual.
“Soul Eater! Don’t you want the Sacrificial Manual? I’ll give it to you!”
Wu Hao raised the box and shouted at the top of his lungs. His voice rang out clearly in the chaotic battlefield.
Hearing this, the Soul Eater halted its attack. A glimmer of greed flashed across its empty eye sockets: “Throw the manual here! Otherwise, I’ll kill you immediately!”
“If you want that book, chase me!”
Wu Hao sneered, turning around and running towards the distant mountains. “If you can catch up to me, the Book of Sacrifices will be yours! But if you dare use a powerful attack, I will destroy it immediately!”
“How dare you!”
roared the Soul Devourer, but he didn’t dare act rashly.
The Book of Sacrifices was extremely important to him, and he would never let Wu Hao destroy it.
“Don’t run!”
The Soul Devourer rode a lion, following Wu Hao closely, always keeping his distance. He didn’t want to get too close and be tricked by Wu Hao, but he was also worried that Wu Hao would escape.
Seeing this, the two Wushuang elders also wanted to abandon David and give chase, but David stopped them.
“Your opponent is me. You want to escape? It’s not that easy!”
David drew his Dragon Slaying Sword, and golden light radiated around him. A sacred aura spread like a tide, frightening the two Wushuang elders.
“Stop him!”
The elder on the left shouted ferociously, swinging his two long swords again. Countless sword energies shot towards David, trying to break through his barrier.
David showed no fear. The Dragon Slaying Sword danced impenetrably in his hand, its golden light deflecting every attack.
He knew he had to buy Wu Hao enough time to distract the Soul Eater and create an opportunity for the other cultivators to escape.
“Everyone, run! Get out of here before the Soul Eater gets away!”
Daoist Wuji shouted to the surrounding cultivators, swinging his whisk to dispel the surrounding demon spirits.
Han Lie, Zi Yuan, Fan Tianyou, and the others reacted upon hearing the shout.
Despite their injuries, they supported each other and fled the battlefield.
The remaining cultivators followed closely behind, running desperately, afraid that the demon spirits would give chase.
Without the Soul Eater’s command and now held back by David and the two Wushuang elders, the demon spirit army was temporarily disorganized and unable to organize a pursuit.
Xue Wuying looked at the fleeing monks, a glimmer of pity flashing in her eyes. The cloth bag in her hand had swelled considerably, filled with dead souls, but still slightly short of the resources she needed to break through.
