David’s voice sounded calm, but there was a cold tone in it: “Fifty people like them are not enough to finish off the remaining souls.”
A flash of light appeared in Wu Yuan’s eyes.
“Mr. Chen, what a brilliant plan.” His voice contained a hint of admiration. “I’ll arrange everything right away.”
Wu Yuan turned around and gave some instructions to the Void Merchant Guild cultivators behind him. The group quickly dispersed and disappeared into the gray-white ground.
David stood alone on a high place, the Dragon Slayer Sword hanging from his waist, his purple eyes staring at the black flying boat in the distance.
The spaceship was getting closer.
Five hundred li, three hundred li, one hundred li.
When they were less than fifty miles away, the airship stopped.
Five airships hovered in the air, golden holy light runes twinkling on their hulls, as if they were scouting the surroundings.
Then, the people in the airplane found David.
Fifty holy cultivators jumped off the flying boat, golden holy light flashed on their bodies, dyeing the entire sky golden.
The leader was a middle-aged man wearing golden armor, holding a golden spear with holy flames blazing at the tip.
Fourth level of the Golden Immortal Realm.
The two Golden Immortal Realm cultivators behind him, one holding twin swords and the other a long bow, each wore a cold aura and were full of anger on their faces.
The middle-aged man looked at David, a sinister smile on his lips.
“You’re David?”
David didn’t speak, he just stared at them.
“I am Yan Huo, Deputy Palace Master of the Fire God Palace.” The middle-aged man’s voice was arrogant and haughty. “The Palace Master has ordered your death. Are you going to commit suicide, or will I do it for you?”
Deputy Palace Master of the Fire God Palace.
David’s eyebrows twitched slightly.
Yan Wuji sent the deputy palace master to hunt him down himself; it seemed like he was really in a hurry.
“How did you find this place?” David asked.
A cold smile tugged at the corners of Yan Huo’s lips.
“What do you think? The Void Merchant Guild is such a large organization, there are naturally people from our divine race in it. Your every move is under our supervision.”
The Void Merchant Guild has traitors among the Protoss nation.
David wasn’t surprised.
Wu Yuan sent Su Jingqiu with about a dozen people to intercept and eliminate fifty members of the God Clan, not so that they would win, but so that they could buy time and give David a chance to enter the void passage.
Does Su Jingqiu know this?
Maybe you know, maybe you don’t.
Whether he realized it or not, he still went.
Because he had no choice.
David snapped out of his thoughts and looked at Yan Huo.
“You want to kill me? Then come on.”
A murderous glint flashed across Yan Huo’s eyes. He brandished his golden spear, and a beam of golden holy light shot out from the tip of the spear, heading towards David.
David did not take the attack head-on; instead, he sped away and flew off into the distance.
Yan Huo snorted coldly and led the people of the Divine Race in pursuit.
Fifty people formed a battle formation in the air, their golden holy light stretched out like a giant net, enveloping David.
David flew very fast, but the people of the Divine Race were not slow either.
The two parties chased each other in the air for about fifteen minutes. David suddenly stopped, hovering in the air, and turned to look at the gods chasing him.
Yan Huo also stopped, looked at David, and a glimmer of doubt flashed in his eyes.
“Not running anymore?”
A faint smile appeared on the corner of David’s lips.
“Run? Why should we run? You are the ones who should run.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the ground around them suddenly cracked.
Huge cracks spread across the ground, from which black smoke rose, filled with a pungent stench.
Then, skeletons crawled out of the gaps.
Some were human in form, some resembled animals, and some were half human, half animal. The skeletons varied in shape and size, but each skeleton had ghostly green flames burning in its eye sockets, a sign that they were possessed by a remnant ancient soul.
Hundreds of skeletons crawled out of the cracks and rushed towards the gods.
Yan Huo’s expression changed completely.
“This is the remains of an ancient soul?”
David didn’t answer.
He turned and flew away, chaotic purple energy flowing around him, leaving a purple trail in the gray sky.
Behind them, the battle between the skeletons and the divine cultivators had begun.
The golden holy light and the sinister green residual soul power collided in the air, producing a deafening roar.
The holy light of divine cultivators has a certain restraining effect on remnant souls, but the number of remnant souls is too many, and they are not afraid of being killed. For every one killed, ten more will appear.
Even though the gods had a high level of cultivation, they could not cope with the large number of remnant souls.
In less than half a stick of incense, more than a dozen divine cultivators were torn apart by their soul remnants.
