That smile looked brighter and more dangerous than before.
“Qualified? Of course you are qualified. Strength is a qualification. When your divine race was glorious and mighty, have you ever imagined that one day you would be trampled by a human cultivator who had fallen to the devil’s path?”
His gaze shifted from Jiang Xuelan to David.
“David, I’m giving you a chance. Leave now and I won’t make things difficult for you. My target today is the Divine Palace, not you.”
David shook his head. “The Divine Palace no longer exists. Jiang Xuelan is now with me. If you touch her, you touch me.”
Ning Zhi’s eyes narrowed slightly.
“So you will protect him?”
“Yes.”
Ning Zhi was silent for a moment, then sighed, looking as if she was looking at a stubborn child.
“David, you’re always like this. You sacrifice yourself for others. Last time it was for two ants from the god race, and this time for this woman from the god race. When will you learn to live for yourself?”
“You don’t understand.” David’s voice sounded calm and firm.
“I understand.” Ning Zhi’s smile turned bitter. “You think you’re doing the right thing, that you’re protecting something important. But have you ever considered whether what you’re protecting is worth the sacrifice of your life?”
He didn’t wait for David’s answer, and laughed self-mockingly.
“Forget it, there’s no point talking to you. That’s just the way you are, you can’t change it.”
He raised his right hand, and black demonic energy condensed in his palm.
“Then come on. Let’s see how much skill you’ve gained these past few days.”
Ning Zhi moved.
The speed was incredibly fast; His black figure left a trail of afterimages in the air, and his fist had already hit David’s door.
This blow was even fiercer than their previous encounter. Demonic energy condensed at the tip of his fist into a rapidly rotating vortex, sucking in the surrounding air and emitting an ear-piercing scream.
David didn’t shy away.
He also wanted to see how much his strength had increased after absorbing the Heart of the Northern Underworld.
The Dragon Slayer Sword was unsheathed.
The golden sword light combined with the purple chaotic power, turning into a sharp sword radiance that hit Ning Zhi’s fist directly.
explosion!
Fist and sword clashed, releasing an ear-splitting roar.
Terrifying shockwaves spread outwards, turning over the ground as if it was being plowed by a giant plow. Soil, rubble, and vegetation were all thrown into the air and then shattered into pieces by the violent energy.
David remained completely silent.
Ning Zhi was pushed back seven steps by the shock.
His expression changed.
In their last meeting, he was able to pressure David firmly.
But this time, David’s strength was obviously more than one level higher than before.
The feeling was like facing a completely different person.
“You’ve managed to penetrate the defense?” Ning Zhi’s voice was a little hoarse.
David didn’t answer, but held out his sword.
This sword attack was extremely fast, its light like lightning streaking through the night sky, aimed straight at Ning Zhi’s throat.
Ning Zhi gritted his teeth and punched out with both fists, condensing demonic energy into a black shield in front of him.
The sword shot out as it hit the shield, producing an ear-piercing scraping sound. Many cracks appeared on the shield, and Ning Zhi was pushed back several steps by the force of the sword.
“Impossible…” Ning Zhi’s eyes were filled with annoyance, “You were definitely not my match at that time…”
“Humans are always evolving.” David’s voice was calm, but his hands showed no mercy.
The second sword attack occurred instantly.
This sword attack was faster, more brutal, and more decisive than the first attack.
The sword light broke through the void, leaving behind dark cracks.
The spatial fragments at the edge of the crack shattered and annihilated under the impact of the sword energy, emitting ear-piercing screams.
Ning Zhi desperately mobilized the demonic energy within her body, and black demonic flames gushed out from within, condensing into a ferocious black fire dragon in front of her.
The fire dragon roared and charged towards David. Wherever it passed, the ground became scorched, leaving gullies several feet deep, and the ground melted into dark red magma due to the high temperature.
David did not dodge or dodge, but instead launched a sword attack.
The golden sword light clashed with the black fire dragon, releasing an ear-splitting roar.
The fire dragon struggled for a moment under the tip of the sword before being split into two. The black devil flames spread out and created countless craters on the surrounding ground.
Ning Zhi was struck by the shock of the sword strike, and a deep wound opened up on her chest, revealing bone, from which blood gushed out.
He staggered back, knelt on one knee, and gasped for breath.
