a Man Like None Other Chapter 7142 He’ll apologize another day
“Capture this brat! Reclaim the Daoist essence! Severely punish the thief!”
“How dare you steal my Heavenly Palace’s most precious treasure! You’re courting death!”
Countless angry shouts rose and fell, and spiritual energy filled the sky, locking onto David, with a heavy killing intent pressing down on him.
Faced with the enraged crowd and the looming threat of death, David remained calm, undaunted, and fearless.
He finally stopped hunching over, stopped pretending with his head down, and stopped being timid and hesitant.
He slowly straightened his back, and the timid and bewildered look in his eyes completely disappeared, replaced by a deep, indifferent, and detached coldness.
There was no arrogance, no conceit, no pride, only a hint of helpless composure and apology.
He raised his eyes to look at the two enraged elders before him, and finally fixed his gaze on Su Qingyuan, whose expression was calm but whose eyes were full of inquiry. He apologized sincerely and frankly, without a trace of sophistry:
“Please calm down, everyone. I did not intend to steal the opportunity or repay kindness with enmity.”
“This true Dao of Heaven is an unparalleled opportunity, a treasure for enlightenment, and an aid to cultivation for you. But for me, it is the foundation of my life the foundation of my life, an essential part of my destiny, and the only foundation that can reshape the Dao of Heaven.”
David’s voice was calm and clear, devoid of the timidity and naivety he had displayed along the way. It lacked the deliberate pretense of humility and fear, and instead possessed a vastness and weight that far surpassed the world around him.
The faint light that had just absorbed the true essence of the Dao had not yet dissipated from his body. Strands of ancient Daoist energy lingered around him, seemingly gentle, yet possessing an unparalleled foundation that commanded the utmost respect from all the heavens. This caused the surrounding spiritual energy and killing intent locked onto him to subtly give way in instinctive fear.
The entire Heavenly Palace crowd, who were furious, were all taken aback upon seeing this.
David was completely different at this moment.
No longer was that lowly rogue cultivator who relied on a human body, was timid and fearful, and would only shrink behind Su Qingyuan when trouble came. He was tall and straight, with clear eyes and a wealth of Dao insights and ancient vicissitudes hidden in his eyes. It was a kind of accumulation of years and understanding of rules that even the Immortal Lord Ancestor did not possess.
“rhetoric!”
The elder in green robes still harbored murderous intent, his brows were tightly furrowed, and his spiritual energy trembled incessantly. His tone was icy and chilling: “Whoever has the opportunity will have it!”
This Daoist essence is the supreme Dao fruit that my young lady Qingyuan fought tooth and nail for, and it has absolutely nothing to do with you! Your attempt to forcibly take it for yourself is theft and plunder!
“If you do not regurgitate all your Daoist essence today, we will surely cripple your cultivation, imprison your soul, and take you back to the Myriad Laws Heavenly Palace to suffer eternal imprisonment!”
