Chapter 5440 of the Dragon Emperor’s Order: Too Slow
Hearing Lingxi’s words, David’s face turned even redder.
Actually, seeing Lingxi merge her bloodline with the Medicine King Sect’s disciples wasn’t a big deal; after all, it was just for cultivation.
But David fawning over Ziyuan was a bit embarrassing.
Seeing David’s face redden even more, Lingxi’s smile widened.
“You should recuperate in the God King Palace first. If you want a woman, you can ask Yunxiu to accompany you. She’s already an adult,”
Lingxi said to David.
Yunxiu’s face immediately flushed red upon hearing this, and she lowered her head slightly, though she still secretly shot David an angry glance.
It was clear that Yunxiu had secretly witnessed David’s boldness.
“No, the people of Sixth Heaven are still waiting for me. I can’t just abandon them…”
David shook his head, deciding to leave.
“In your current condition, let alone helping them, you won’t even be able to survive the Void Passage.”
“Recover well. After you recover, if you can block one of my swords, I promise you a trip to Sixth Heaven!”
Lingxi said!
Upon hearing this, David nodded in agreement, then stayed in the God King Palace to recuperate!
The spiritual energy in the Jingchen Pavilion of the God King Palace was so rich that it almost turned into substance. The floor was paved with cool chalcedony that could warm the soul, and ambergris, which could calm the mind, burned in the corner of the room.
David sat cross-legged on the jade bed. The healing pills Ling Xi had sent him transformed into a continuous stream of spiritual power, slowly flowing along his damaged meridians. Combined with the pure spiritual energy from the Eighth Heaven, the injuries in his body healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Three days passed in a flash.
When the first rays of morning sunlight shone on David through the window, he suddenly opened his eyes, and golden dragon patterns flashed in his pupils.
The meridians within his body had fully recovered, and the power of his dragon bloodline had become even more concentrated. Not only had his cultivation returned to the second level of the Earthly Immortal Realm, but he even showed signs of reaching the third level.
He stood up and held the Dragon Slaying Sword at his side. Golden light shone on the blade, seeming to resonate perfectly with his aura.
“You’ve recovered very quickly,”
Lingxi’s voice suddenly echoed from the doorway. She was still dressed in her pale blue palace attire, casually holding an emerald branch in her hand
, her eyes filled with joy. Yunxiu, standing behind her, saw David in good health, a glimmer of joy in her eyes.
David, gripping the Dragon Slaying Sword tightly, bowed to Lingxi, “Thank you, Fourth Palace Master, for the healing resources. I’m ready.”
Lingxi chuckled softly and slowly walked towards the open space of the Silent Dust Pavilion. “Attack! Remember, as long as your sword touches me, you win,”
she said, holding the branch against her body, her movements casual yet exuding indescribable power.
David took a deep breath, channeling all his spiritual energy into the Dragon Slaying Sword. The golden sword energy instantly surged a meter high. “Fourth Palace Master, be careful!”
Before he could finish his words, he shot out, charging towards Lingxi like an arrow from a bowstring. The Dragon Slaying Sword slashed through the air with a clang.
The attack was as fast as lightning, condensing all his current strength and speed. But Lingxi merely leaned to the side, lightly tapping the blade of her sword against a branch.
With a soft “ding,” David felt a gentle yet overwhelming force. His arm went numb, and he nearly let the Dragon Slaying Sword slip from his grasp.
He took advantage of the momentum to retreat several steps, filled with shock—Lingxi’s speed was so great that he couldn’t even see its trajectory.
Without waiting for his balance, David struck again, his sword movements changing with unpredictable movements, sometimes like a dragon’s tail sweeping through the army, sometimes like a spirit snake emerging from a cave, stabbing at a vital point.
However, no matter how strong his sword momentum, Lingxi was always able to easily neutralize it with the branch. Her figure was like a catkin in the wind, always maintaining an inch away from him, and his sword couldn’t even touch the hem of his clothes.
“Your speed is too slow, and your power is too scattered.”
Lingxi’s voice carried a hint of instruction. With a light flick of the branch, she once again deflected the Dragon Slaying Sword. “You haven’t fully unleashed the power of your dragon bloodline.”
