The gatekeeper’s expression changed: “You impudent lunatic! How dare you spout nonsense in front of the Holy Light Sect!”
The silver longsword in his hand suddenly emitted a dazzling light, piercing towards Hu Mazi.
David’s eyes sharpened. Before Hu Mazi could move, he flicked his finger, and a beam of evil energy shot out as a black line, directly hitting the blade of the longsword.
With a loud clang, the silver longsword shattered into pieces, the fragments scattering everywhere.
The gatekeeper disciples were so shocked that they repeatedly retreated, their faces filled with disbelief: “You heretics!”
“Evil power?” David sneered. “Compared to your Holy Light Sect, which appears holy on the surface but dirty inside, we are much cleaner.”
Just then, a majestic voice sounded from within the mountain gate: “Who is making noise here?”
As the voice sounded, a middle-aged man wearing a golden robe slowly walked out. He had a handsome face, a graceful bearing, and radiated a gentle golden light, making him look like a saint.
“He is Li Xiuyuan, the law enforcement elder of the Holy Light Sect,” Mo Chen said in a low voice. “He is a level seven Earth Immortal, proficient in the ‘Holy Light Sword Technique,’ and is said to have comprehended a bit of divine sword intent.”
Li Xiuyuan’s gaze swept across the three people. When he saw the faint murderous aura surrounding David, he frowned slightly: “You have such a strong murderous aura, yet you dare barge into my Holy Light Sect. Are you perhaps tired of living?”
“Holy Light Sect, you guys are tired of living.” David stepped forward, his killing aura suddenly burst out, scattering golden light around him. “Hundreds of years ago, you guys joined forces with the Ten Thousand Poison Valley and the Evil Path Hall to exterminate the Hu clan. Today, that debt must be repaid.”
Li Xiuyuan’s expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure, revealing a sorrowful and angry expression: “Your Majesty is mistaken! The Hu Clan practiced black magic and harmed sentient beings in the past. How could our Holy Light Sect, as an honorable and just sect, just stand idly by? Encircling and exterminating them is acting in the name of Heaven!”
“Acting in the name of Heaven?” Hu Mazi laughed angrily. “My Hu family has practiced medicine for generations, saving lives and helping the needy. When have we ever harmed a living being? You have fabricated such shameless lies to snatch my family’s ‘Book of a Hundred Elixir’!”
“Nonsense!” A sharp glint appeared in Li Xiuyuan’s eyes. “It seems you have been blinded by evil thoughts. Today, I will act in the name of Heaven and purify you devils!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the golden light around him suddenly surged, and a golden longsword appeared out of thin air in his hand. The sword was filled with complicated runes and radiated terrifying pressure.
“Holy Light Sword Technique, First Form: Illuminating the Earth!”
