Chapter 5368 Dragon Transformation
His fists felt slow, but each punch landed right on Ao Lie’s weakest point, with incredible force, making Ao Lie’s blood boil.
“Bang!” “Dad!” “Tong!”
The two engaged in a fierce battle on the martial arts arena, golden spiritual energy flying everywhere, and their footprints carving deep holes in the black ironstone ground.
The surrounding imperial guards were stunned. They had never witnessed such a spectacular battle—a cultivator at the first level of the Earthly Immortal Realm was able to fight Ao Lie, a peak eighth level Earthly Immortal Realm cultivator, on equal footing, and even had a slight advantage!
Zi Yuan’s heart finally settled. She could see that David was not only fast and strong, but also extremely experienced in combat. Every attack was perfectly timed, completely suppressing Ao Lie’s rhythm.
Ao Lie became increasingly frightened and furious as the fight progressed.
He felt like he was punching cotton, his strength was powerless. David was too fast for him to keep up with, and his strength was too great, causing his arms to go numb with each impact.
What made him even more frustrated was that David always anticipated his attacks, dodging or countering them first.
“Ah! I will fight you!”
Ao Lie roared, his dragon blood surging. His body instantly swelled, his skin turned blue-green, a pair of giant dragon wings grew from his back, his hands transformed into dragon claws, and his eyes glowed crimson.
“It’s a dragon transformation! Commander, be serious!”
“Great! That kid is dead now!”
“The commander’s strength will at least double after the dragon transformation!”
The surrounding imperial guards erupted in joy. Dragon Transformation was Ao Lie’s trump card; once unleashed, it could defeat even a ninth-stage Earth Immortal cultivator.
Zi Yuan’s expression tensed again. She knew how terrifying Ao Lie was in dragon form, and she immediately called out, “Fellow Daoist Chen, be careful!”
David stared at the changed Ao Lie, a little seriousness in his eyes, but more like joy.
Ao Lie flapped his dragon wings, soaring through the air. Two giant balls of golden light condensed from his claws, emitting a destructive aura.
“Son, prepare to die!” He threw the ball of light at David, which broke into dozens of small balls in the air, showering him like raindrops.
David tapped the ground with his feet and jumped into the air, rolling in the air to avoid most of the balls.
He smashed the remaining balls with his fist. However, as he landed, Ao Lie appeared before him, his dragon claws whistling towards his head.
“Right time!”
David shouted, and instead of retreating, he thrust his fist forward, colliding with Ao Lie’s claws.
“Bang!”
Another loud bang, this time sending David back five steps, a wave of excruciating pain shooting through his arm.
Ao Lie also felt unwell. It felt like his dragon claws were gripping solid diamond, the shock numbing his entire arm and slowing the flapping of his wings.
“How is this possible? How can your body be this strong?”
Ao Lie asked again, his voice trembling. After transforming into a dragon, his physical strength far surpassed that of ordinary cultivators. Even divine weapons might not be able to harm him in the slightest. How could he be so embarrassed by David’s fist?
David didn’t say anything. He shook his numb arm and charged towards Ao Lie again.
This time, he did not dodge, but instead directly faced Ao Lie.
The two men’s fists and dragon claws clashed continuously, and golden spiritual power and cyan dragon energy intertwined. The entire martial arts arena was enveloped in terrifying energy fluctuations.
The surrounding imperial guards were stunned, their hearts pounding. This wasn’t a sparring match, but a life-and-death battle!
“Bang!”
Another hard impact, David
… “Bang!”
Another loud crash, David and Ao Lie took a few steps back, and deep cracks were stamped out in the black ironstone ground beneath their feet.
