    David looked at Ao Lie, the contempt on his face growing even stronger.

    He slowly put away the Dragon ying Sword and ced it back into his storage bag. He said coldly, “Okay, then I won’t use any weapons and will fight you with just my fists. If I can still beat you this way, what else do you have to say?” Ao Lie was stunned, then a look of ecstasy crossed his face. “Are you serious? Without weapons?”

    In his opinion, David was able to defeat Shi Hu and sever his silver spear, most likely because of that magical weapon. If he didn’t use any weapons, a cultivator of the first rank of the Earthly Immortal Realm, no matter how fast he was, would not be his opponent.

    “Of course it’s true.”

    David flexed his wrist. “But the stake remains the same: one million immortal stones. If you don’t dare, you can surrender now. Just give me one million immortal stones.”

    “Why wouldn’t I dare?”

    Ao Lie was enraged. His spiritual energy surged, unleashing the aura of a peak ninth-grade Earthly Immortal Realm cultivator without reservation. The air in the entire martial arts arena seemed to freeze.

    He clenched his fists, golden spiritual energy condensing within them, forming two dazzling orbs of light. “Boy, you asked for this! Don’t me me for being ruthless!”

    Zi Yuan stood by, looking nervous. She knew David was exceptionally powerful, but Ao Lie was, after all, a peak eighth-grade Earthly Immortal Realm cultivator, and a dragon half-blood. His physical form was incredibly formidable. Without weapons, David might not be able to gain the upper hand.

    “Take it!”

    Ao Lie roared, charging at David like a sh of golden lightning. He threw both fists at David’s head with devastating force.

    He threw this punch without holding back, mobilizing all his spiritual power, clearly intending to secure a victory with one strike and save his reputation.

    The surrounding imperial guards cried out in shock; they could sense the terrifying power of this punch. If they were hit, even a small mountain would be razed to the ground.

    Faced with such a ferocious blow, David remained unfazed.

    He spread his feet slightly apart, lowering his center of gravity

    . The spiritual energy within him slowly circted, gathering in his fists.

    Although his realm was only the first level of the Earthly Immortal Realm, his spiritual energy, after numerous refinements, far surpassed that of cultivators of the same level, even more powerful than Ao Lie’s.

    Just as his fist was about to strike David, he suddenly raised his right hand and collided fiercely with Ao Lie’s fist.

    “Bang!”

    A deafening roar echoed, and a golden spiritual energy shockwave spread out from the two of them. The stone pirs at the edge of the martial arts arena shook violently, and the crystal balls at their tops emitted a humming sound.

    The surrounding imperial guards were shaken back by the shockwave, their faces filled with shock.

    They had expected David to be sent flying by a single punch, but they hadn’t expected the two to be evenly matched.

    Ao Lie was in disbelief. He felt a powerful force radiate from David’s fist, causing his arm to numb and his knuckles to crack. He took three steps back before regaining his bnce.

    He looked down at his fist, which was red, swollen, and aching.

    “How is that possible? How can your spiritual power be so strong?”

    Ao Lie asked in a lost voice. A cultivator of the first rank of the Earthly Immortal Realm could possess spiritual power even more powerful than a cultivator at the peak of the eighth rank? This simply defiedmon sense in cultivation!

    David didn’t answer. He pressed on, his figure shing, and he was in front of Ao Lie. His left fist flew out with lightning speed, heading straight for Ao Lie’s chest.

    Ao Lie quickly raised his hand to block, but with a “bang,” he was knocked back again, a sharp pain in his chest, as if struck by a huge rock.

    Terrified, he quickly channeled his spiritual power to protect his chest while counterattacking, his fists raining down on David like a violent storm.

    David responded calmly, weaving in and out of Ao Lie’s fists, sometimes dodging, counterattacking.
