It was as if a giant, invisible hand had descended from the sky, compressing the surrounding air and causing it to explode with a sharp, ear-piercing sound.
Shen Tianhai’s smile immediately froze. He threw the teacup in his hand, and golden divine light condensed into a shield in front of him, barely blocking the gray palm imprint.
explosion!
A dull and loud thud echoed throughout the courtyard.
Shen Tianhai was pushed back several steps, and the bluestone slab beneath his feet cracked into a spider web pattern, like ice struck by a giant hammer, with the cracks spreading several meters in all directions.
The teacup in his hand shattered into pieces, and the tea spilled everywhere, soaking his magnificent golden robe and leaving dark water stains at the hem.
Shen Tianhai’s expression changed completely.
His pupils narrowed slightly, as if they had been pricked by needles, and for the first time, his voice contained a hint of surprise and doubt: “You’re not a level six Gold Immortal? You’re hiding your strength? What exactly is your level?”
David didn’t answer his question; his voice remained calm, like a calm lake: “Release the Lan wave.”
Shen Tianhai’s expression changed under the moonlight, his golden eyes swirling with a mixture of anger and evil scheming, like the calm undercurrents of the deep sea.
He was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke, his voice low and cold, containing a cruel tone as if he had been cornered: “Master Liu.”
A gray figure appeared soundlessly from the shadows of the main hall.
Master Liu was still wearing that faded gray robe. His thin face looked as pale as a skeleton under the moonlight, and his sharp, eagle-like eyes gleamed with a calm yet sharp light, like two invisible blades.
His fingers trembled slightly at his sides, almost unnoticeable unless you looked closely, but every subtle movement gathered some kind of power.
He walked silently into the courtyard, stood behind the three elders, then raised his hand.
His ten fingers moved nimbly like butterflies, and golden divine light intertwined into a huge golden net at his fingertips, like an all-encompassing curtain descending to cover David.
The giant net contained the full power of a peak-level Great Luo Golden Immortal. Each thread was like a living poisonous snake, twisting, lengthening, and shortening in the air, carrying an aura of devouring everything.
But David’s gaze sharpened slightly.
At the moment the golden net flashed, he felt a very faint sense of disharmony.
Three inches to the right of the center of the giant web, there was a very fine crack in its texture, like a small section that was deliberately torn off a spider web, which would be completely invisible if you didn’t look carefully.
It was a hidden door that Master Liu had left behind on purpose; a passage leading to the outside was hidden within a giant, seemingly airtight net.
David ignored the hidden door.
He slightly turned his body to the side, and with a wave of his left hand, a gray-purple sword light exploded in the air, turning into countless small blades of light that cut through the giant golden net like a rainstorm.
The blades of light collided with the giant net, producing dense and clear sounds like raindrops, as if a thousand drums were beating simultaneously, causing the surrounding air to fluctuate violently.
The giant golden net began to disintegrate, collapse, and evaporate due to the erosion of the chaotic power. One by one, the golden threads broke, turning into spots of golden light that dissipated in the air, like dandelions blown by the wind.
Master Liu’s expression changed drastically. He tried to retreat, but it was too late.
David’s figure appeared in front of her without her realizing it, and his gray hand gently pressed against her chest.
A gentle yet irresistible force surged from his palm, sending Master Liu staggering back dozens of steps. It crashed into a pillar in the main hall, smashing it to pieces, sending stone fragments flying and dust billowing everywhere.
A drop of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth. He tried to calm himself down, but realized that the spiritual power within his body was being eroded bit by bit by that gray power.
A series of excruciating pain, as if he was being torn apart, came from his meridians, as if countless invisible hands were pulling at him.
“Hmph, even three second-rank Gold Immortals are unable to match me, and you, a peak first-rank Gold Immortal, are you still courting death?”
David snorted coldly and looked at Mr. Liu.
Master Liu looked at David with surprise and doubt in his eyes, then said quietly, “Son, even though I am at the top of the first level of the Golden God, my surname is Liu.”
