Chapter 5367 No Weapons
David stared at Ao Lie, the contempt on his face growing stronger.
He slowly sheathed the Dragon Slayer Sword, put it back into his storage bag, and said coldly, “Alright, then I won’t use any weapons other than my fists. If I can still defeat you this way, what else can you say?”
Ao Lie was stunned, then a look of joy spread across his face. “Are you serious? Without a weapon?”
According to him, David was able to defeat Shi Hu and break his silver spear primarily because of that sacred weapon. Without the weapon, a first-stage Earthly Immortal cultivator, no matter how fast, would be no match for him.
“Of course it’s true.”
David flexed his wrist. “However, the stakes remain the same: one million immortal stones. If you don’t have the guts, you can admit defeat now. Just give me one million immortal stones.”
“Why don’t I dare!”
Ao Lie was furious. His spiritual energy surged, and the aura of a peak ninth-rank Earthly Immortal was released unreservedly, and the air in the entire martial arts arena seemed to freeze.
He clenched his fists, golden spiritual energy condensing within them, forming two dazzling balls of light. “Wow, you asked for this! Don’t blame me for being ruthless!”
Zi Yuan stood beside him, a nervous expression on her face. She knew David was very powerful, but Ao Lie was, after all, a peak eighth-rank cultivator in the Earthly Immortal Realm. He was also a dragon half-blood, his physique incredibly tough. Without a weapon, David might not be able to win.
“Take this!”
Ao Lie roared, charging at David like a bolt of golden lightning. Both fists slammed into David’s head with devastating force.
He launched an unreserved blow, exerting all his spiritual energy, clearly intent on achieving a decisive victory and redeeming his reputation.
The surrounding imperial guards gasped in shock, feeling the terrifying force of the blow. A single blow could level even a small mountain.
Facing this devastating blow, David remained undaunted.
He spread his legs slightly, lowering his center of gravity. The spiritual energy within him slowly circulated, gathering in his fists.
Although his strength level was only the first level of the Earthly Immortal Realm, his spiritual energy, after being refined countless times, was much purer than cultivators of his level, even stronger than Ao Lie.
Just as his fist was about to hit David, David suddenly raised his right hand and slammed Ao Lie’s fist hard.
“Bang!”
A deafening roar resounded, and a golden spiritual energy shockwave spread from the two of them. The stone pillars at the edge of the martial arts arena trembled violently, and the crystal balls at the top emitted a buzzing sound.
The surrounding imperial guards were shaken back by the shockwave, their faces filled with shock.
They thought David would be knocked down by one blow, but they didn’t think the two would be evenly matched.
Ao Lie couldn’t believe it. He felt a tremendous force emanating from David’s fist, causing his arm to go numb and his knuckles to crack. He took three steps back before finally regaining control.
He looked at his fist which was red, swollen, and painful.
“How is this possible? How can your spiritual power be this strong?”
Ao Lie asked in a low voice. A cultivator at the first level of the Earth Immortal Realm had spiritual power even stronger than him, a cultivator at the peak of the eighth level of the Earth Immortal Realm? This simply went against common sense in cultivation!
David didn’t answer. He took advantage of the victory and chased after him. In an instant, he came in front of Ao Lie and launched a lightning-fast blow with his left hand, right at Ao Lie’s chest.
Ao Lie immediately raised his hand to block. With a “bang,” he was pushed back again, and a burst of intense pain erupted from his chest, as if he had been struck by a boulder.
He felt terror in his heart, and quickly mobilized his spiritual power to protect his chest, while fighting back, his fists hitting David like a storm.
David responded calmly, his figure moving between the shadows of Ao Lie’s fists, sometimes dodging, sometimes countering.
