However, David showed no signs of panic.
Just as the tip of the gun was about to touch his clothes, he moved.
There was no earth-shaking momentum, not even any obvious movement, only a dazzling golden sword light, like the breaking dawn, flashed and disappeared in the dim world.
“Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!”
The four soft sounds, almost blending together, sounded as crisp as cutting tofu.
Hu Mazi didn’t even see how David drew his sword; he only saw a flash of golden light before his eyes.
In the next instant, the heads of the four black-armored cultivators fell to the ground like ripe fruit, and the blood that was flowing wildly from their body cavities gushed out like four fountains, staining the white jade steps in front of the palace red.
The four headless corpses staggered and collapsed to the ground with a thud, the long spears in their hands clanging loudly, which sounded extremely disturbing in the silent square.
Time seemed to stop at that moment.
The old man’s hand holding the bone staff froze in midair, his anger turning into disbelief and awe.
The four armored soldiers were his trusted men who he had personally trained. They had fought alongside him for many years and their strength was already extraordinary. They were even able to fight against enemies at the second level of the Earth Immortal Realm. But now they died without even having the chance to shake hands with each other.
He didn’t even see which direction David’s sword came from!
David slowly sheathed the sword, and the blood stains on the Dragon Slayer Sword instantly disappeared, returning to its simple and unadorned appearance.
He looked up at the old man, his eyes as calm as a bottomless pool of ice, his voice emotionless: “I am very angry.”
Those four simple words gave the old man the creeps, as if he was being targeted by a poisonous snake.
“From the moment I first set foot on Mount Jiupan, there have always been people trying to cause trouble for me.”
David walked step by step towards the old man. His every step made the ground tremble slightly, and an invisible pressure spread out like a tidal wave. “Severing his arm earlier was a warning. I killed him now because he didn’t learn from his mistakes.”
He stopped, standing no more than ten steps away from the old man, his gaze fixed on the old man’s wrinkled face: “You have two choices now, keep quiet, or you will be the next person whose head will be blown off.”
The old man’s throat twitched, and his fingers gripping the bone stick turned white from the intense pressure.
He has lived for nearly a thousand years, what kind of storm has he never seen?
However, I have never felt fear like this before.
David’s eyes were too calm, as if he was stating a fact. The killing intent behind this calm was more terrifying than any hysterical roar.
