“killed!”
The spear, carrying enough power to destroy heaven and earth, stabbed towards David. The blazing white holy light condensed on the tip of the spear into a thin line of light, which was the strongest attack that condensed all the power into one point.
David raised the Dragon Slayer Sword, the tip aimed at the incoming spear.
He didn’t dodge, didn’t gather his strength, and didn’t even exert more chaotic power.
He just drew his sword.
The tip of the sword clashed with the tip of the spear.
In that instant, the spatial laws within a hundred mile radius shook violently, and the remaining ancient souls in the Fallen God Desert simultaneously let out soft breaths, as if they were awakened from their slumber by the power of this sword.
Then, everything went silent.
Yan Po lowered his head and looked at his chest.
The tip of the Dragon Slayer Sword penetrated his chest and emerged from his back. Chaotic purple flames burned within his body, devouring his holy light, essence, blood, meridians, and bones one by one.
He didn’t even feel pain, only a piercing coldness from the bottom of his heart—the breath of death.
“You……”
He wanted to say something, but the Chaos Fire had swallowed his throat, leaving only the soundless movement of his mouth.
David drew the Dragon Slayer Sword, and Yan Po’s body slowly fell, hitting the dark red sand, splashing a cloud of golden blood mist.
Those golden red eyes remained open until their deaths, frozen in disbelief.
Yanhu and Yanbao struggled to get up and escape, but their injuries were too severe. The sword wound on Yanhu’s chest was still bleeding, and the wound on Yanbao’s chest made every breath feel like torture.
David walked over to them and looked at them from above.
“Go back and tell your so-called Palace Master,” his voice was calm, devoid of emotion, “that the Eighteen Heavens are not his territory. Here, I am the one in charge.”
Even though David had just arrived on Eighteenth Heaven, he was unaware of the power it contained.
But he was confident that once he arrived, the eighteenth heaven would be his.
Yanhu and Yanbao exchanged glances, their eyes twinkling with complex emotions.
Without saying a word, they helped each other to their feet and limped towards the edge of the barren land.
Behind them, the corpses of thirty Fire Dragon Guards lay scattered across the dark red sand, their golden blood seeping into the ground and dyeing the small patch of land a dark golden color.
David sheathed the Dragon Slayer Sword and turned his gaze to the distorted space in the depths of the barren desert.
The golden light in the room had disappeared. The person observing from the shadows left as soon as the battle ended, leaving without leaving a trace.
But David remembered that person’s aura. That aura did not belong to the gods, nor did it belong to the Daoist sect; That aura had the indescribable aroma of a merchant.
“Void Merchant Guild.” David frowned slightly.
Jiang Xuelan walked to his side. “How did you know?”
“Just a guess.”
David sheathed the Dragon Slayer Sword back into the sheath at his waist. “The President of the Void Merchant Guild on Seventeenth Heaven is very interested in the Great Luo Golden Scripture. I have something he wants, and he won’t let this opportunity pass him by.”
He paused for a moment, a cold glint flashing through his purple eyes. “However, he was smarter than Venerable Tianji. He knew that force wouldn’t work, so he wanted to try a different approach. First, observe; then establish contact; then gain trust; and finally” He didn’t finish his sentence.
The reason David didn’t attack Wu Heng on Seventeenth Heaven was not because he looked down on him or because he was afraid.
He knew that the Void Merchants Guild was an influential force in many realms, and David absolutely did not want to make another enemy, because there might come a time when he would need the help of the Void Merchants Guild in the future.
That was why he let Wu Heng go.
However, it was now clear that the Void Merchant Guild forces from Eighteenth Heaven already knew of my arrival, which was most likely caused by a message from Wu Heng.
At that moment, Jiang Xuelan understood.
“Then what should we do?” Jiang Xuelan asked.
“Wait.”
David turned and continued walking towards the edge of the clearing. “I’ll wait for the people he sent to come to me. Since he wants to befriend me, I’ll give him a chance. As for who will plot against whom in the end”
He didn’t finish his sentence, but the cold smile tugging at the corner of his mouth said it all.
