Chapter 5358: No Way to Deny
Zi Yuan’s face darkened. David’s sword was so fast that she couldn’t stop it.
The surrounding Divine Clan disciples, who were already pale with fright, fell silent and instinctively retreated.
Growing up in the Divine Kingdom, they had witnessed sparring between fellow cultivators, but they had never witnessed such brutality. Without a word or hesitation, with a single strike, he severed the arm of a seventh-stage Earth Immortal cultivator.
The cold, gleaming Dragon Slayer Sword looked ordinary, but when David swung it, they didn’t see his movements clearly. They only saw a flash of silver light before their eyes, followed by a splash of blood.
A first-stage Earth Immortal cultivator easily cut off the arm of a seventh-stage Earth Immortal cultivator—if they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, no one would have believed it.
Zi Yuan’s pupils constricted sharply. She had always believed David to be a pawn of some hidden power, a lowly cultivator who only dared to escort the princess back with the support of others.
However, the scene just now completely overturned his understanding. A first-rank Earth Immortal had cut off the arm of a seventh-rank Earth Immortal—this couldn’t be explained by luck or a powerful weapon.
The control of spiritual power, timing, and complete control of the situation in that sword swing was completely beyond the reach of an ordinary first-level Earth God cultivator.
“We agreed not to seek revenge. Are you Protoss cultivators talking like you’re farting?”
David slowly pulled out the Dragon Slayer Sword. The blood on the blade flowed along its veins like a living being, instantly returning to its original luster.
And these words made everyone present blush!
They had just heard David and Wei Feng agree that even if they were injured, there would be no retaliation.
Now Wei Feng was using his status to pressure them, clearly going back on his promise.
David glanced at the Protoss students present. Each student subconsciously lowered their heads, not daring to look at him.
The youths, who had been filled with contempt, now felt that gaze was as cold as ice, as if one more glance would bring them the same fate as Wei Feng.
“We, cultivators of the Divine Kingdom, believe in ‘convincing others with reason.’ How dare you harm others so easily?”
A middle-aged cultivator in a blue Confucian robe stepped forward from the crowd. He was an instructor at the academy, with a cultivation level of eighth-level Earth Immortal. His face was grim as he stared at David.
“Fellow Daoist Chen, this is the Divine Kingdom Academy, not a place for you to act rashly! Why don’t you apologize immediately? Come with me to see Master Weiwei and explain this matter clearly!” said the middle-aged cultivator.
“Convince him with common sense?”
David sneered, his eyes filled with mockery. “Just now, your disciple, relying on his advanced realm, humiliated me in every way, calling me a ‘barbarian without education,’ and saying I was ‘unworthy of entering the academy as a first-rank Earth Immortal.’ Why don’t you come out and ‘convince him with common sense?’ Now he’s injured after a failed attack, and you’re the one demanding rules?”
He stepped forward, and the invisible pressure suddenly disappeared. The instructor was forced to take a half step back, terrified.
This aura clearly belonged to a first-level Earth Immortal, but it carried an overwhelming dominance, as if facing not a low-level cultivator, but a powerful and long-established cultivator.
“Doesn’t the Kingdom of God advocate ‘cultivating the mind and the body’?”
David’s voice was quiet, but it was clearly heard by everyone. “Don’t your books teach ‘Don’t do to others what you don’t want them to do to you’? Don’t they teach ‘Don’t oppress others’? Or are the ‘ethics’ of your God’s Kingdom only for those who are weaker than you?”
The instructor fell silent. He opened his mouth, but couldn’t find a rebuttal.
He had indeed been present when Wei Feng provoked him, and he even felt that David, a human cultivator, deserved a lesson for daring to act so presumptuously in the Divine Kingdom academy. But now that David was questioning them on their “ethics,” he was at a loss for words.
