Chapter 5369 I think you are a little dissatisfied
Ao Lie’s dragon claws were covered in fine wounds, and blood dripped through the gaps, making a hissing sound as it hit the ground.
His breathing became erratic, the energy consumption of his dragon form far exceeding his expectations. However, David’s breathing remained steady, as if the intense battle had no effect on him at all.
“Impossible! You can’t be just a First-Rank Earth Immortal!”
Ao Lie roared, his eyes bloodshot. He simply couldn’t accept this—a dragon hybrid at the peak of the Ninth Stage Earth Immortal Realm, utterly defeated by a First Stage Earth Immortal cultivator in a physical battle.
David wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth—he had not escaped unscathed from Ao Lie’s claw attack, but this wound was nothing to him.
He stared at Ao Lie coldly, “Realm is merely a measure of cultivation, not the essence of strength. You’re only at the ninth level of the Earthly Immortal Realm, yet you don’t know how to properly control your strength. Your defeat is well-deserved.”
“Nonsense!”
Ao Lie was truly furious. He opened his mouth suddenly, and a jet of blue-green dragon breath shot out, carrying a temperature that could scorch the sky and boil the ocean, shooting straight towards David.
This dragon breath, the source of his dragon bloodline, was far more powerful than ordinary magical powers. Even a ninth-stage Earthly Immortal Realm cultivator would be instantly reduced to ashes if struck by it.
The surrounding imperial guards retreated in fear, and Zi Yuan’s face paled. She tried to intervene, but it was too late.
Facing the roaring dragon’s breath, David’s eyes flashed sharply.
He took a deep breath, his spiritual energy surging wildly, gathering it into his fist. Simultaneously, he activated the “Concentrated Heart Technique,” summoning traces of chaotic energy to envelop his fist.
In an instant, David’s fist emitted a faint gray light. Although seemingly insignificant, it contained the power to destroy heaven and earth.
“Destroy!”
David shouted, thrusting his fist forward. A large, gray fist imprint appeared out of thin air, clashing heavily with the blue dragon aura.
“Boom!”
A thunderous, earth-shaking roar resounded, and a terrifying energy shockwave spread from the two of them. The stone pillars at the edge of the training ground collapsed, and large cracks appeared in the ground. Smoke and dust filled the air, obscuring the sky.
The imperial guards around him were thrown back by the shockwave, crashing to the ground, blood spurting from their mouths.
Zi Yuan quickly channeled her spiritual energy to protect herself, eyeing the smoke and dust in the middle of the training field with burning anxiety.
The smoke and dust slowly cleared, revealing two figures.
Ao Lie was covered in blood, his dragon wings shattered, and most of his scales torn off. He fell to the ground, barely breathing, clearly unable to fight any longer.
David, on the other hand, stood there, barely injured except for a few tears in his clothes, though his face was a little pale. The previous attack had also drained quite a bit of his Chaos Energy.
The entire place was silent. All the imperial guards stared at David in amazement, their eyes filled with awe and fear.
They didn’t dare hold back any longer. This cultivator, who seemed to be only at the first level of the Earthly Immortal Realm, was truly a monster!
Zi Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, quickly stepped forward, and bowed to David, saying, “Fellow Daoist Chen, your abilities are extraordinary! Commander Ao…”
“I accept defeat,” David interrupted, glancing at Ao Lie. “Commander Ao, when will I get my one million immortal stones?”
Ao Lie struggled to stand, but the force was too great. He could only glare at David angrily. “I… I admit defeat! I’ll send someone to your residence to get one million immortal stones!”
He was filled with frustration, but had to admit his defeat was absolute—with or without a weapon, he was no match for David.
“Are you still a little doubtful?”
David asked, looking at Ao Lie.
Ao Lie remained silent. He was indeed a little doubtful. He was certain that David had deliberately concealed his power and then suddenly exploded, surprising them.
