A Man Like None Other

Chapter 5250

David’s face was expressionless, not even raising his eyelids. He simply glanced at the young man surnamed Li, his disdain almost overflowing. “Competing with me? Are you worthy?”

The young man surnamed Li was instantly enraged: “Arrogant! Courting death!” He began to draw his sword.

But as his hand touched the hilt, a flash of cold light flashed before his eyes, so fast it was impossible to react. With a soft

“swish,”

a strand of black hair slowly fell, landing squarely in the young man’s open palm.noveldrama

Everyone was stunned.

The young man froze in place, holding his sword. The rage on his face hadn’t faded, but his eyes were wide with horror.

The disciples behind him also gaped in surprise. No one saw how David drew his sword. In a flash, it was over.

David remained motionless, as if nothing had happened, merely brushing the nonexistent dust from his sleeves.

Ling Xue observed this scene, a subtle smile curling her lips. She stepped forward and addressed the still-dazed disciples, “The Senior Brother, chosen by Master himself, naturally possesses exceptional qualities. Senior Brother Li, you must learn from Senior Brother Chen.” With that,

she ignored the disciples’ reactions and turned to David and Hu Mazi, saying, “Let’s go! Don’t delay our work.”

David nodded, and he and Hu Mazi followed. Only

after the three of them had walked away did the Sword Sect disciples finally wake up from their dreams.

The young man surnamed Li stared at the strand of hair in his palm, a layer of cold sweat breaking out on his back.

In that instant, he had felt the threat of death. If David had targeted his neck instead of his hair…

He swallowed hard, watching David and the others retreat. He no longer dared to hold back his contempt; only shock and bewilderment filled his heart.

“Senior Brother Li… he… what did he just do…” a nearby disciple stammered. The young man surnamed Li took a deep breath, his voice trembling slightly. “I don’t know, but with that kind of speed and accuracy…

I’m afraid even if we combined, we might not be his match.” The disciples exchanged glances, speechless for a moment, feeling that today’s events were truly bizarre.

On the way, Hu Mazi couldn’t help but ask, “Miss Ling, do you think that information building is reliable? Are they trying to trick us?” “It’s hard to say,” Ling Xue shook her head. “I haven’t been to the information building either, so I have no idea if the information is true or not. We can only give it a try.”

Led by Ling Xue, they found the information building. It was a towering attic, pitch black and eerie. Two black-clad guards stood at the door, their eyes sharp, scanning passersby.

David took a deep breath and led Hu Mazi inside. Entering the Information Building, a faint scent of sandalwood filled the air.

The furnishings inside, in stark contrast to the eerie atmosphere outside, seemed remarkably luxurious. A large jade table sat in the center of the hall, surrounded by several maids dressed in cheongsams, each beautiful and well-mannered.

A maid stepped forward, smiling, and asked, “Gentlemen, what information do you require?” “We would like to know the location of the Evil Path Temple branch,” David replied bluntly.

The maid’s smile faltered slightly, clearly not expecting such a question. She glanced at David and Hu Mazi and said, “Information about the Evil Path Temple is expensive and carries significant risk.

Are you sure you want to inquire?” “Yes,” David nodded. “How much?” The maid paused, then said, “The exact location of the Evil Path Temple branch will cost one million immortal stones.” “One million immortal stones?” Hu Mazi exclaimed, “Why don’t you just go and rob it?”
