    Ao Lie’s dragon ws were covered in fine wounds, and blood dripped through the cracks, making a sizzling sound as it hit the ground.

    His breathing became erratic, as the energy consumed by his dragon form far exceeded his expectations. Yet, David’s breathing remained steady, as if the fierce battle hadn’t affected him at all.

    “Impossible! You can’t possibly be only a First-Rank Earth Immortal!” Ao

    Lie roared with red eyes. He simply couldn’t ept this fact—that a Dragon hybrid at the peak of the Ninth-Rank Earth Immortal Realm had been outmatched in physicalbat by a First-Rank Earth Immortal cultivator.

    David wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. He hadn’t escaped unscathed from Ao Lie’s w strike, but this injury was insignificant to him.

    He looked at Ao Lie with an icy tone, “Realm is only a measure of cultivation, not the essence of strength. You only possess the ninth level of the Earthly Immortal Realm, but don’t know how to truly control your power. Your defeat is unjust.”

    “Bullshit!”

    Ao Lie waspletely enraged. He opened his mouth abruptly, and a stream of cyan dragon breath gushed out, carrying a temperature that could scorch the heavens and boil the seas, hurtling straight towards David.

    This dragon breath, the source of his dragon bloodline, was far more powerful than ordinary magical powers. Even a cultivator of the ninth level of the Earthly Immortal Realm would be instantly reduced to ash if struck.

    The surrounding imperial guards retreated in fear, and Zi Yuan’s face paled. She tried to intervene, but it was toote.

    Facing the roaring dragon breath, David’s eyes shed with a fierce look.

    He took a deep breath, his spiritual energy surging frantically, gathering it in his fists. Simultaneously, he activated the “Concentration Heart Technique,” mobilizing a trace of chaotic energy to entwine his fists.

    In an instant, David’s fists glowed with a faint gray light. Though seemingly insignificant, it contained the power to annihte heaven and earth.

    “Break!”

    David shouted, and punched forward with both fists. A huge gray fist print appeared out of thin air and collided fiercely with the blue dragon breath.

    “Boom!”

    A deafening roar echoed, and a terrifying energy shockwave spread out from the two of them. The stone pirs at the edge of the martial arts arena copsed, and huge cracks appeared in the ground. Smoke and dust filled the air, obscuring the sky.

    The surrounding Imperial Guards were thrown back by the shockwave, mming to the ground, blood spurting from their mouths.

    Zi Yuan quickly channeled her spiritual energy to shield herself, watching the smoke and dust in the center of the arena with a frantic anxiety.

    The smoke and dust gradually dissipated, revealing two figures.

    Ao Lie was covered in blood, his dragon wings shattered, and most of his scales shed. He copsed to the ground, barely breathing, clearly no longer able to fight.

    David, on the other hand, stood there, virtually unharmed save for some ripped clothing, though his face was slightly pale. The previous attack had consumed a considerable amount of Chaos Energy.

    A hushed silence fell over the entire arena, and all the Imperial Guards stared at David in amazement, their eyes filled with awe and fear.

    They no longer dared to underestimate him. This cultivator, seemingly only at the first level of the Earthly Immortal Realm, was nothing short of a monster!

    Zi Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, quickly stepped forward, and bowed to David, saying, “Fellow Daoist Chen, excellent skills! Commander Ao…”

    “I ept defeat,” David interrupted, ncing at Ao Lie. “Commander Ao, when will I get the one million immortal stones?”

    Ao Lie struggled to get up, but his entire body was powerless. He could only re at David resentfully. “I… I ept defeat! I’ll send someone to deliver the one million immortal stones to your residence!”

    He was filled with resentment, yet he had to admit that he had beenpletely defeated—whether using weapons or not, he was no match for David.

    “It seems you’re still a little unconvinced?”

    David asked, looking at Ao Lie!

    Ao Lie remained silent. He was indeed a little unconvinced. He believed that David was deliberately concealing his strength and showing weakness, then suddenly exploding, catching them off guard.
