“You’re David?” His voice was like muffled thunder, echoing and echoing over the barren land.
David raised his head, his purple eyes met Yan Po’s golden red eyes.
He did not speak, but only slightly raised his chin in response.
Yan Po frowned slightly.
He had met many arrogant young people, but he had never seen anyone who dared to challenge him with such an attitude.
Even a first-rank Gold Immortal would treat him with great respect, so why would a junior at the eighth-rank True God have such authority?
“The Palace Master has ordered,” Yan Po’s voice sounded a little impatient, “that we must see that person dead or alive. Are you coming with us, or will we do it?”
David remained silent.
He simply held the Dragon Slayer Sword horizontally in front of him, and the chaotic purple flames on the sword suddenly surged higher, the flames sizzling as it burned the holy light around him.
Yan Po’s pupils suddenly narrowed.
He felt a power that completely conflicted with, and even restrained, the Holy Light.
The power of chaos.
This is not a legend, nor is it a heretical practice; this was the true power of chaos.
“Let’s do it!”
Without saying a word, Yan Po shot forward, summoning a golden flame holy spear in his hand. The spear, which had enough power to split mountains, slashed at David.
Yanhu and Yanbao attacked simultaneously from the left and right sides. Yanhu wielded two swords with dark red flames burning on their blades. This was the “torture fire” specially used by the Punishment Hall to interrogate prisoners, burning not only the flesh but also the soul.
Yan Bao quietly circled around David’s back from the side, holding a slender sword in his hand. There was no flame on the blade, only a thin layer of silver light. It was a “Spirit Breaking Sword” specially designed to penetrate the body’s protective spiritual power.
Thirty Fire Dragon Guards simultaneously spread out, forming a huge encirclement in the air. Each of them held a standard fiery longsword, the holy flames on the swords connected to form a fiery cage that descended from the sky.
David made a move.
He didn’t dodge, didn’t retreat, and didn’t even parry.
The Dragon Slayer Sword emerged from below, its purple sword energy drawing an arc in the air before colliding head-on with Yan Po’s golden spear.
explosion!
A shockwave that was even more powerful than the one that hit in front of the Wan Yao Ridge gate spread outwards, spraying dark red sand and soil from tens of miles in radius into the air, exposing the dark brown rocks beneath the sand.
The rocks were filled with traces of ancient battles, left behind by ancient mighty creatures tens of thousands of years ago, which to this day had not been eroded by wind and sand.
Yan Po’s body was thrown back dozens of meters, his arms were numb, his tiger’s mouth was split open, and golden blood seeped from the cracks, dripping onto the dark red sand.
His eyes widened in disbelief.
His cultivation level was more than one level higher than Yan Lie, and the war spear in his hand was an ancient magic weapon inherited from the Fire God’s bloodline. However, he was actually knocked back by a junior at the eighth level of the True Immortal Realm with just one sword attack.
What kind of power is this?
David didn’t give him time to think.
The second sword strike had arrived.
This sword attack was no longer a passive parry, but an active attack.
The chaotic purple flames on the Dragon Slayer Sword condensed into a hundred feet long sword aura. Wherever the sword aura passed, the holy light and fire seemed to meet a natural enemy and automatically moved aside.
Even the war runes on Yan Po’s body began to flicker, as if warning its master that the threat before them had exceeded the limits of the runes’ tolerance.
Yan Po gritted his teeth, releasing the full power of the holy light within his body. The golden flames on his war spear shot upwards and condensed into a hexagonal shield of holy light in front of him.
The ghostly figure of an ancient fire god appeared on the shield. The ghost had crimson eyes and spat out streams of golden divine flames, which merged with the shield.
This move was the “Divine Flame Shield,” a life-saving technique of the Fire God lineage, said to be able to block even a full attack from a level four Gold Immortal.
However, when David’s sword energy hit the Divine Fire Shield, the phantom of the ancient fire god on the shield let out a shrill scream. The golden divine fire was like a mortal enemy to the flames of chaos, and was instantly devoured.
The shield shattered into pieces.
The sword’s momentum remained undiminished, aiming straight for Yan Po’s chest.
At the critical moment, Yan Hu’s two swords slashed from the side, the dark red flame energy colliding with the purple sword energy, producing an ear-piercing sound of metal rubbing.
The Fire Leopard’s Spirit Piercing Thorns pierced David’s nape without a sound, the silver light almost invisible amidst the purple glow of the sword aura.
David shifted slightly to the side, and the Spiritbreaker Thorn touched his ear, lifting a strand of black hair.
He swung his left hand, and chaotic power condensed in his palm into a fist-sized ball of purple light. The ball of light flew out of his hand and hit the Fire Leopard’s chest.
Yan Bao let out a muffled groan as he was thrown hundreds of feet away, crashing into a pile of bones and scattering ash and sand everywhere.
A fist-sized crater was carved into his chest, golden blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, and his breastplate shattered completely, revealing the charred flesh beneath, burned black by the power of chaos.
