Wu Yuan led the cultivators of the Void Merchant Guild away, leaving the battlefield to David.
David stood in front of the skeleton, the Dragon Slayer Sword held horizontally in front of him, chaotic purple flames burning on the blade.
The skeleton stared at David from above, the sinister green flames in its eye sockets flickering.
Then, he lifted his big foot and stepped on David.
His feet covered the sky, like a small mountain descending from the heavens, carrying tremendous power that was enough to crush any cultivator below the Golden Immortal realm into pulp.
David didn’t give up.
The Dragon Slayer Sword swung upwards, and purple sword energy struck the soles of his feet, producing an ear-piercing metallic clank.
The sword energy left a deep mark on the sole of the foot, but the foot did not break. The leg just shook and landed on the ground next to David.
“explosion……”
The ground was trampled to form a large crater several meters deep, with gravel flying everywhere and dust billowing into the sky.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, David darted out and climbed up the skeleton’s legs.
Chaotic energy gathered beneath his feet, allowing him to walk on the skeleton as if it were solid ground. He ran very fast, climbing up to the skeleton’s waist level in the blink of an eye.
The skeleton seemed to sense David’s location, and his big hand slammed into his waist.
David jumped away, dodging a palm strike, and landed on the skeleton’s ribs.
The hand hit the skeleton’s own waist with a loud thud, breaking several ribs and sending fragments of broken bones flying everywhere.
David continued climbing upwards, past the rib cage, and arrived at the skeleton’s chest cavity.
Within the chest cavity, a dark golden bead the size of a fist floated in the center, its surface shimmering with a faint green light, as if something was sleeping within.
It was a Soul Crystal.
David reached out and grabbed the Soul Crystal.
Just as his fingers were about to touch the Soul Crystal, a green ghost-like hand suddenly emerged from the Soul Crystal and stretched out to catch it.
That palm contained an extremely powerful obsession power; if someone was caught in it, their soul would be damaged, or even possessed.
David didn’t give up.
Chaos flames condensed in his palm, and the purple flame collided with his sinister green hand, producing a sizzling sound.
The sinister green hand melted quickly under the scorching heat of the chaotic fire, like a piece of ice thrown into a furnace, instantly turning into nothingness.
The Soul Crystal let out a shrill scream, the sound echoing in his chest and numbing David’s eardrums.
David grabbed the Soul Crystal and took it out of his chest cavity.
The Soul Crystal pulsed violently in his palm, like a heart. Ghost-like green light flickered wildly on the surface of the bead as the power of obsession struggled desperately, trying to break free from the shackles of the chaotic power.
However, David’s chaotic power is the source of all elements, suppressing all powers, including the power of obsession.
The Soul Crystal gradually calmed down in his palm, its eerie green light dimming, like a wild beast that had been tamed and lay obediently in his hand.
The skeleton lost its soul crystal, and the sinister green flames in its eye sockets quickly extinguished.
The huge skeleton began to collapse, its dark golden bones breaking one by one, falling from a great height and hitting the ground with a dull thud.
David jumped down from the collapsed skeleton, landed in front of Wu Yuan, and handed him the soul crystal.
Wu Yuan received the Soul Crystal, fiery light radiating from his golden-red eyes.
“Thank you, Mr. Chen.”
His voice was full of excitement, “I will refine the soul crystal as soon as possible and then hand it over to Master Chen.”
David nodded without saying anything.
His gaze was fixed on the Abyss Sword that Wu Yuan was holding, its dark golden light glinting sinisterly under the sunlight.
The sword was even more powerful than the Dragon Slayer Sword.
But David didn’t want that.
Because it is a sacrifice, an offering to a being.
Whoever has it will become the creature’s target.
If Wu Yuan wanted to be targeted, that was his business.
David didn’t want to.
Another point is that Zhongli is in the Dragon Slayer Sword, and in David’s heart, Zhongli is no longer just an ordinary sword spirit.
Zhongli was his woman, and no matter how good the opportunity, David would never trade his woman for that opportunity.
“President Wu, where to next?” David asked.
Wu Yuan put away the Soul Crystal and the Abyss Sword, took out a jade slip from his sleeve, examined it with his divine sense, and after a moment raised his head, pointing towards the southwest.
“Five hundred miles to the southwest, there is an ancient tomb of an influential figure, which contains the corpse of a Taixu Realm expert. Among his burial goods is a storage ring, which should contain a large number of crystals, pills, and magical artifacts.”
Five hundred li.
