David, unwilling to waste words, casually swung his Dragon Slaying Sword.
A golden-black sword beam, several feet long, pierced the air, cleaving the eight guards, spears and all, and striking the skull-shaped hall door.
“Crack…”
The solid bone door shattered like porcelain, revealing the eerie hall within.
A poisonous fog ten times thicker than outside filled the hall. On a high platform in the center sat an old man in a green robe. In a bronze cauldron before him, a roiling dark green liquid simmered, emitting a sickening odor.
It was the master of the Ten Thousand Poisons Valley, Wan Duzi.
Wan Duzi slowly raised his head. His face seemed woven from poison ivy, pale green veins woven through his skin. His eyes were a pure dark green, with no visible pupils.
“Did the snake die of old age?”
His voice rubbed like two pieces of rotten wood. “You’re quite capable, no wonder you dared to trespass in my Ten Thousand Poison Valley.”
David stepped into the hall, his murderous aura forming an invisible barrier around him, keeping the poisonous mist out. “Hundreds of years ago, the Hu family was exterminated, and you were one of the masterminds.”
It wasn’t a question, it was a statement.
Wan Duzi let out a strange laugh, his laughter carrying the sound of dripping mucus that made one’s teeth ache. “Indeed, that old man Hu’s ‘Immune to All Poisons’ is indeed a good material for refining poisons. It’s a pity that he self-destructed. Otherwise, I would have already broken through the Earthly Immortal Realm and reached a higher realm.”
Upon hearing this, Hu Mazi was so angry that he trembled all over, almost crushing the talisman in his hand. “You beast! I’m going to kill you!”
“What’s the hurry?” Wan Duzi licked his lips, his dark green tongue forked like a snake. “When I refine the three of you into poison pills, it will be atonement for the regret I made back then. Especially you,” his gaze fell on David. “You possess evil spirits but are not affected by them. You are perfect for refining the ‘Yin Yang Poison Pill’.”
“You talk too much nonsense.” David’s figure flashed, and the Dragon Slaying Sword pierced Wan Duzi’s face with a sound of breaking through the air.
Wan Duzi did not dodge, but simply raised his hand and pointed at the bronze tripod.
The dark green liquid swirling in the cauldron suddenly surged, transforming into a poisonous dragon. It opened its huge mouth full of fangs and bit towards David. Wherever the poisonous dragon passed, the air was corroded and sizzling.
“A mere trick.” David’s eyes flashed with a cold light, and the sword’s momentum suddenly accelerated. The golden and black sword light directly penetrated the poisonous dragon’s head.
“Puff–“
The poisonous dragon instantly disintegrated, turning into a poisonous rain that fell from the sky.
However, before these venomous liquids could get within three feet of David, they were burned into nothingness by the evil spirit.
“Huh?” Wan Duzi’s eyes flashed with surprise, “Your evil spirit can actually restrain my Wan Du? Interesting…”
