Chapter 5430

They followed a road shattered by battle, each step revealing new atrocities committed by roaming demons.

In the shell of a market town, two dozen Demonic Cultivators circled a huddle of unarmed civilians, brandishing blades washed in shadow and laughing as though slaughter were a children’s game.

A single kick sent a pregnant woman sprawling. Blood darkened the dust, and amid that crimson bloom slid the half- formed life she had carried. Demon laughter rose like broken bells.

“Enough!” Jared’s voice cracked the air.

Dragonslayer Sword flashed from its sheath, the golden arc of its aura cleaving the poisoned gloom as Jared launched forward, fury embodied in steel and light.

The demons whirled, greed flaring in their eyes. “More playthings for our lord,” one snarled. “Seize them alive!”

Their leader surged first, a jagged demonic sword wrapped in black fumes, screaming toward Jared as the battlefield jolted into motion.
