David remained silent. He raised his right hand and slowly drew the Dragon Slayer Sword.
As the sword was drawn, chaotic purple flames ignited on the blade. The fire was not that fierce, but it caused the Heavenly Venerate, who was a hundred feet away, to flinch slightly in the corner of his eyes.
“Anyone who gets in my way will die.”
The Heavenly Venerate stood with his spear held horizontally, holy light gathering at the tip of the spear to form a fiery white ball the size of a fist. Although small, the ball contained enough power to level a mountain.
“This sentence,”
David finally spoke, his voice low and his tone indifferent as if he was talking about something trivial: “I will return it to you exactly as it was.”
He moved.
Without charging or using any opening moves, David disappeared from his spot and appeared above the Heavenly Venerate’s chariot the next moment.
The Dragon Slayer Sword fell with the simplest slashing movement, the speed was not fast, not even slow, but the trajectory of the sword’s fall tore a dark crack in space.
It was not sword energy tearing through space, but rather the inherent characteristics of the power of chaos itself. All things in heaven and earth must return to their origins in the face of chaos, and space is no exception.
A piercing spatial explosion resounded through the sky, as if even heaven and earth were shaking at the sight of the sword slash.
The Heavenly Venerable’s pupils suddenly narrowed.
He didn’t expect David to be that fast, and he also didn’t anticipate the devastating power of that sword attack.
He gripped the handle of the golden spear with both hands and parried upwards.
The holy light condensed into a semi-transparent shield on the spear. As the spear handle collided with the sword tip, the entire war chariot collapsed with a roar. The eight heavenly horses simultaneously let out a miserable wail, their four hooves hit the ground, and their leg bones shattered with a series of sharp cracking sounds.
The carriage frame, forged from meteorite gold, twisted and deformed due to the immense force, emitting ear-piercing metallic groaning sounds.
A visible shockwave spread out from the point of impact, throwing the stone slabs in the plaza into the air. The plates tumbled and flew hundreds of feet into the air before crashing into the mountainside and shattering into powder.
The light shield screens of the Qingyun Sword Sect and Wanfa Sect flickered violently due to the shockwave, and the array masters in charge of the core array eyes all groaned, blood seeping from the corners of their mouths.
The Heavenly Venerate staggered, a jolt from the spear shaft causing the tiger mouths on both of his hands to split simultaneously, golden blood seeping out from between his fingers.
A flicker of surprise flashed through his eyes, but anger was much stronger.
He roared, and holy light burst out from his body, turning it completely golden. “Is that all you have?”
With a swing of the golden spear, a hundred feet long beam of holy light penetrated the square.
Wherever the spear energy passed, the air would burn, and space would be scorched and distorted.
Dozens of cultivators from Wan Yao Ling who didn’t have time to dodge were hit by the spear energy attacks; their armor instantly melted, and their flesh turned to charcoal in the holy light.
David did not take the attack head-on. He spun in the air, using the air as support to avoid the direct impact of the spear energy.
The spear energy shot past his side, creating a hole over ten feet deep in the mountain wall behind him, causing rocks to fall like rain.
Chaos Flames burst out from the Dragon Slayer Sword, turning into a purple sword aura that slashed diagonally towards the Heavenly Venerate’s right arm.
The trajectory of the sword energy was unpredictable; a moment on the left, and a moment later on the right.
The Heavenly Venerate parried with his spear, resulting in another direct impact.
This time, neither of them backed down. Sword energies and spear energies clashed violently between them, each impact producing dazzling flashes of light and deafening roars.
The stone plates in the square were all broken, and the ground was filled with several feet deep cracks and scorched holes.
The air was filled with the scent of ozone and sulfur, an anomaly produced when chaos fire and holy light annihilated each other.
As the two engaged in fierce battle, troops from all sides of Wan Yao Ling launched a full-scale attack.
Guiyuanzi led the Guiyuan Sect disciples to attack from the left, while Qingyunzi, the sect leader, led the Qingyun Sword Sect to attack from the right. The Wanfamen array experts activated restrictions, cutting off the rear path of the Tianji Palace army.
Two thousand cultivators from Wan Yao Ridge and two thousand two hundred cultivators from Tianji Palace fought in the square, their shouts, screams, and clanking weapons blending into a battle song of blood and fire.
The roars of beasts mixed with the furious shouts of cultivators, and the golden light of holy light, the silvery white of sword energy, and the crimson of demonic power intertwined in the square, creating a chaotic yet majestic scene.
The Guiyuan Sect disciples formed the Guiyuan Grand Formation, with thirty-six people in one group. Their spiritual power flowed together as one, like thirty-six sharp blades simultaneously stabbing at Tianji Palace.
Their attacks were perfectly synchronized, their sword light converging into silver streams that struck at the Heavenly Palace cultivators one after another.
Guiyuanzi himself charged to the forefront of the battle, his long sword swinging like a dragon, and with every flash of sword light, a Tianji Palace cultivator fell.
His beard and white hair were stained with the blood of his enemies, but his eyes had become brighter and sharper.
