Chapter 5335Sometimes he didn’t even need to attack deliberately; the mere golden aura emanating from his body caused the bodies of lower-level cultivators to dissolve, as if they had met their nemesis.noveldramaA cultivator attempted a sneak attack from behind, wielding a bone blade thick with evil energy, which stabbed David in the back.As if David had eyes on his back, he didn’t even turn his head. With a simple backhand swing, a stream of golden sword energy pierced the air, instantly splitting the cultivator and the bone blade in two.“A bunch of trash,”David whispered, his voice flat yet filled with a look of indifference that looked down upon all beings.He moved through the enemy hordes as if in an empty space, each swing of his sword bringing death to a swath.Wherever the golden light passed, the evil energy dissipated, and bones melted away, as if even the land, stained by evil, trembled under his power.Half an hour later, the battle in the valley was completely over. With the exception of Youyue, who had been dragged into the palace by Hu Mazi, all the Evil Dao Hall monks had been slain.Corpses and bones littered the ground, and the air was thick with the stench of blood and burnt flesh, making the scene particularly tragic.David stood before the palace gate, gazing up at the blood-red glow of the palace, a solemn look flashing in his eyes.He could sense a powerful aura lurking deep within the palace, several times more powerful than You Wuxie and You Wuji. It was clearly the master of a branch of the Evil Dao Hall!“Come out!”David shouted, his voice brimming with spiritual energy, echoing through the valley. “All your men are dead. How long are you going to hide?”Silence fell for a moment, followed by a sinister laugh that seemed to penetrate the bones of a person, sending shivers down their spines. “What a David, what a Hu Mazi! To have managed to make it this far is truly impressive to me.” Adark figure floated out from the depths of the palace, shrouded in an even wider black robe. His face was indistinct, but his palpable presence was palpable—a ninth-grade Earthly Immortal!“Palace Master?”David gripped the Dragon Slaying Sword tightly, his mind focused and on guard, the golden flames burning even more vigorously.The black-robed figure slowly raised his head, revealing a pair of scarlet eyes beneath his hood, like two blood-red gemstones. “It is I, the Lord ! You have killed so many disciples of my branch temple and destroyed my altar. Today, I will make you pay for your crimes. I will refine your spirit into a tonic for this Lord!”“Stop the nonsense!”David’s eyes blazed with murderous intent, and he pointed his Dragon Slaying Sword directly at the black-robed figure. “Is it true that the spirits of the Hu family have been sent to the main temple?” The black-robed figure scoffed, his tone thick with disdain. “Indeed, the spirits of powerful individuals like them should naturally be offered to the masters of the main temple. If you seek them, go to the main temple, but… I’m afraid you won’t have that opportunity.”Before he finished speaking, he violently waved his hand, and countless black energy surged from his palm, instantly transforming into several black venomous snakes as thick as buckets. From their mouths, they spewed forked tongues and, with a sharp hiss, leaped towards David. Wherever the venomous snakes passed, the air sizzled with corroded sound.David snorted coldly, and the golden flame on the Dragon Slaying Sword surged. He let out a low roar, and the fire dragon on the sword reappeared. This time, the fire dragon was more solid than before, as if it had life.It opened its huge mouth, let out a deafening roar, and then rushed towards the black snakes.The golden flames collided with the black venomous snakes, and instantly burned the black snakes to ashes. The remaining flames continued to spread towards the black-robed man.“Your opponent is me!”Hu Mazi’s voice came from the palace, and then a red light shot up into the sky. Hu Mazi’s figure appeared behind the black-robed man, holding a talisman burning with blazing flames in his hand. The aura emitted by the talisman was no weaker than David’s dragon flame.
