Ning Zhi was no longer the stray dog he once was, who was repeatedly defeated and forced to flee in chaos.
Ning Zhi now certainly had the right to stand before him, the right to challenge him, and even the right to take his life.
But so what?
An opponent who has lost is still an opponent who has lost.
Even though he fell into the devil’s path and his cultivation level skyrocketed, in David’s heart, he was still a petty person who only knew how to use cunning tricks.
David’s gaze fell on Ning Zhi again, his eyes showed no fear, only cold fighting spirit and hidden killing intent. The surrounding dragon energy surged again, and the sound of the sword became more urgent.
Ning Zhi observed the intimate scene between Chen Wanqing and David, a hint of coldness and jealousy flashed in her eyes, which then turned into a more mocking smile, even a little provocative.
He turned his head to look at Sonya beside him, her tone was casual but careful, her voice was neither too loud nor too low, loud enough for David to hear: “Senior brother, look, it’s David’s woman.”
Oh yes, it turns out there’s more than one. There were several more below, all guarding the entrance to the secret room, completely loyal to him, each crying out of worry, afraid that something might happen to him. Tsk tsk, David really has luck with women; he was always accompanied by women wherever he went.
Sonya stood still in place, her gaze following Ning Zhi’s words to Chen Wanqing, carefully observing the woman in front of her.
She was a very beautiful woman, her white clothes stained with blood, her temperament aloof and cold, her eyes full of worry and anxiety, clutching David’s sleeve tightly as if afraid he would be hurt in any way. His concern was genuine and without pretense.
The two stood side by side, so familiar and natural, as if they were a couple who had been together for many years, without the slightest barrier between them.
For some reason, an indescribable bitterness suddenly appeared in Sonya’s heart, as if there was an acid stone stuck in her chest, making her feel empty and painful.
It was a completely unfamiliar emotion, so unfamiliar that he couldn’t understand it at all, let alone control it, and could only let it spread in his heart.
What right did he have to be so sour?
She didn’t know the person at all and didn’t have any relationship with him, so why would she feel hurt because he was making out with another woman?
But why, when he saw her standing with another woman, saw that other woman holding her sleeve so affectionately, saw the gentle look in her eyes as she looked at her, did his heart feel as if it had been stabbed by something sharp, causing a dull pain, and even making it difficult for him to breathe?
Sonya’s eyebrows were tightly furrowed, her beautiful face filled with confusion and astonishment. He tried to suppress the inexplicable emotions in his heart, but realized that he couldn’t do it at all. The bitterness and stinging pain grew stronger, making him restless.
He desperately suppressed the turmoil in his heart, forcibly averting his gaze from David and looking elsewhere, no longer looking at the couple who were making out, trying to calm his heart.
Ning Zhi noticed Sonya’s subtle reaction, her smile grew wider, and a hint of haughty satisfaction flashed in her eyes.
That was the exact effect he wanted.
Making David suffer, making David despair, making David completely lose his self-esteem in front of Sonya, watching his lover become a stranger to him, and even feeling jealous because of it, was a thousand times more satisfying than simply finishing off David.
He wanted to gradually destroy David’s mind and spirit, causing him to suffer excruciating pain.
“David.”
Ning Zhi spoke again, her tone becoming more arrogant, and the demonic energy around her surging even more violently, “You want to fight? Fine, I will give you that chance and grant you your wish.”
He slowly raised his right hand, making a casual gesture of invitation, his face full of ridicule and disdain, his eyes almost overflowing with ridicule: “Come, let me see how much power you, a Level Four Deity, can unleash.”
David looked at him quietly without saying a word, his aura reached its peak.
He just raised the Dragon Slayer Sword slowly, the tip pointing straight at Ning Zhi. Golden light spread around him, and dragon might filled the entire sky, forcing the demonic energy to continuously retreat. His aura instantly rose to its peak, and the spiritual power within his body surged wildly, preparing to unleash his full power.
But just as he was about to step up and swing his sword, Ning Zhi suddenly laughed.
That smile, filled with boundless arrogance and cruelty, exuded a terrifying ruthlessness that made all the cultivators present feel chills down their spines.
