As he muttered the incantation, the tattoo came to life, turning into a two-foot-long snake that slithered up from his neck to the top of his head, opening its mouth and sticking out its tongue.
“This is my natal poison gu, ‘Spirit Devouring Snake,’” said Wan Duzi with a cruel smile. “It will penetrate your sea of consciousness and slowly eat away at your soul, making you wish for death!”
The Spirit Devouring Snake turned into a black line and shot towards David’s forehead at a speed invisible to the naked eye.
Mo Chen and Hu Mazi exclaimed in surprise at the same time, trying to help but being tightly entangled by the poison vines.
However, David seemed to have anticipated this. Instead of retreating, he advanced, and a dazzling golden light suddenly appeared from between his eyebrows—it was the dragon power shield he had formed after refining the dragon essence.
“hiss”
The Spirit Devouring Snake crashed into the golden light, letting out a shrill hiss. He was thrown back so hard that white smoke rose from his body.
“How could it be!” Wan Duzi shouted in disbelief. Soul Devouring Snake was his innate Gu, which he had cultivated with great effort over a hundred years. The Gu was specially designed to fight the soul and never let him down.
When he was caught off guard, David’s sword arrived.
The tip of the Dragon Slayer Sword stopped an inch before Wan Duzi’s eyebrows, and the intertwined gold and black sword energy had penetrated his skin until it bled.
“You can’t kill me!” Wan Duzi finally felt fear. “I am the Lord of Wan Du Valley. If you kill me, you will be hunted by all the poison cultivators on Fifth Heaven!”
David’s eyes were frozen cold, not wavering in the slightest: “Did the Hu family beg you the same way back then?”
Those words were like a sharp knife, piercing through Wan Duzi’s last psychological defense. His face turned pale, and he collapsed on the high platform.
“cut!”
David exerted force with his wrist, and the sword flashed then disappeared.
Wan Duzi’s head rolled to the ground, and dark green blood spurted from his neck, but it was completely purified upon contact with the evil aura surrounding David.
After Wan Duzi’s death, the wildly growing poisonous vines instantly withered, and the poisonous mist in the hall began to dissipate.
Seeing Wan Duzi’s corpse on the high platform, Hu Mazi suddenly knelt down and kowtowed three times towards the Hu clan: “Ancestor, your son has avenged you!”
Mo Chen patted his shoulder, his eyes filled with sigh.
David walked towards the bronze cauldron, where the previously turbulent dark green liquid had turned into clear water.
He lowered his head and touched the bottom of the cauldron, then took out a jade pendant engraved with the character “Hu,” which still held a faint spiritual aura.
“This should belong to the Hu family.” David handed the jade pendant to Hu Mazi.
