<h2 ss="wp-block-heading">Chapter 5401</h2>


    Xue Wuying discerned Soul Devourer’s thoughts and whispered in his ear, “Master, we still have men. We can continue the fight. If we win, we can still force them to hand over the sacrificial manual.”


    Soul Devourer nodded and addressed the demonic cultivators, “Who else is willing to challenge?”


    The demonic cultivators were silent for a moment, and then a figure shed and arrived at the center of the battlefield.


    This was a young man in a ck robe. His face was covered by a mask, obscuring his features, revealing only a pair of cold eyes.


    “I’ll do it,”


    The young man’s voice was hoarse and deep.


    Zi Yuan looked at the young man before her, her heart trembling.


    She could sense an aura from him that was even stronger than Mu Baiyi’s, and eerie, as if it came from hell.


    “Who are you?” Zi Yuan asked.


    “You don’t need to know,”


    The young man said coldly. “Go ahead.”


    Zi Yuan didn’t hesitate, longsword in hand, and attacked again.


    The longsword was like a green snake emerging from a cave, piercing the young man’s throat.


    The young man swayed and easily avoided Zi Yuan’s attack.


    He was faster than Mu Baiyi, and his movements were very strange, as if he was not affected by gravity.


    “Huh?”


    Zi Yuan was startled and hurriedly adjusted her sword moves, attacking the young man again.


    The young man still easily avoided Zi Yuan’s attacks and asionallyunched counterattacks.


    His attacks were very strange, without any fixed moves, but each one directly targeted Zi Yuan’s weaknesses.


    Zi Yuan gradually fell into a disadvantage; her breathing became increasingly rapid, and her face grew paler and paler.


    After the fierce battle with Mu Baiyi just now, she had consumed a lot of her spiritual energy, and now, facing a stronger opponent, she was a little powerless.


    “Zi Yuan is in danger!”


    Wu Hao said anxiously. David also frowned. He could sense the youth’s immense strength, and the eerie aura he exuded was unlike that of an ordinary demon cultivator.


    On the battlefield, the youth’s attacks intensified, forcing Zi Yuan back repeatedly. Several wounds appeared on her body, and blood stained her clothes.


    “It’s time to end this,” the youth dered coldly. A ck dagger suddenly materialized in his hand, emanating a thick aura of death, and pierced Zi Yuan’s heart.


    A flicker of despair shed in Zi Yuan’s eyes; she no longer had the strength to dodge. Just as the dagger was about to pierce her heart, a stream of golden spiritual energy suddenly shot out from the side, nging and striking the dagger, deflecting it. Simultaneously, a figure shed, blocking Zi Yuan’s path.


    He looked at Ziyuan’s wounds, a flicker of anger in his eyes. “Are you okay?” Ziyuan shook her head. “I’m fine, thank you.” David nodded, then turned to the young man in the ck robe, his eyes as cold as a thousand-year-old ice.


    “You dare to hurt her? You’re courting death!” The young man looked at David with a flicker of fear, but he forced himself to remain calm. “This is a duel between our demon cultivators and them.


    Why are you meddling?” “A duel?” David sneered. “When Mu Baiyi wanted to kill Leng Yun, why didn’t you say it was a duel? Now you want to kill Ziyuan, so why can’t I intervene?”


    The young man was speechless, unsure what to say. Soul Devourer, seeing this, said coldly, “You want to intervene?” “You don’t need me now. When I do, you’ll be dead!” David said, supporting Ziyuan as they walked back.


    The young man could only watch, not daring to take action. David’s aura intimidated him. Ziyuan leaned against David’s shoulder, deeply moved. No man had ever treated her like this before.


    If there weren’t so many people, Zi Yuan would have given herself to David right then and there. David had helped her so much, and she had no way to repay him, so she could only repay him with her own body.
