    The martial arts arena fell silent. The Imperial Guards, who had just been mocking David, were now stunned, their smiles frozen.

    How could a cultivator of the first rank of the Earthly Immortal Realm defeat a captain of the seventh rank of the Earthly Immortal Realm so easily? Thispletely overturned their understanding!

    A faint smile yed across Zi Yuan’s lips as she looked at Ao Lie and said, “Commander Ao, do you still think Fellow Daoist Chen isn’t worthy of a sparring match?”

    Ao Lie’s expression was extremely grim. He stared at David and said in a deep voice, “Not really! Shi Hu clearly showed mercy just now! He was afraid of really hurting you, so he didn’t kill you, and that’s why you took advantage of him! If he had used all his strength, you wouldn’t have stood a chance!” As soon as

    these words came out, even Shi Hu on the ground couldn’t help but want to refute them—he had clearly given it his all just now, but he couldn’t even touch the corner of David’s clothes. How could he have shown mercy?

    But he didn’t dare to disobey Ao Lie’s orders, so he could only lower his head and tacitly agree with this statement.

    Hearing this, David showed a trace of contemptuous smile on his face: “Oh? So, I won unfairly?”

    “That’s right!”

    Ao Lie said with his neck stiff, “You are just lucky! If it was a life-and-death fight with real swords and guns, you would have be a dead soul under Shi Hu’s knife!”

    “Okay.”

    David nodded, his tone was calm but with a hint of coldness, “How about a life-and-death fight? There are no restrictions, and it will continue until one side falls.

    However, since it is a life-and-death fight, there must be some bet, right?

    I bet one million immortal stones. If I lose, the immortal stones belong to you; if you lose, you also take out one million immortal stones, how about it?”

    One million immortal stones is not a small number. Even amander of the imperial guards like Ao Lie would need to umte it for decades to get it together.

    But he was infuriated by David’s attitude, and coupled with the previous humiliation, he agreed without hesitation: “Alright! I’ll make a bet with you! I want to see how a cultivator of the first rank of the Earthly Immortal

    Realm, like you, can fight me to the death!” The surrounding imperial guards were excited and gathered around, eager to witness a life-and-death battle between a cultivator of the first rank of the Earthly Immortal Realm and a cultivator of the ninth rank of the Earthly Immortal Realm.

    Zi Yuan tried to dissuade him, but David’s eyes stopped him. He wanted topletely subdue Ao Lie and convince the entire Divine Kingdom that he was worthy of cooperating with them on equal terms.

    Ao Lie strode to the center of the martial arts arena, his silver spear twitching, the tip pointed directly at David. “Boy, don’t use me of bullying you! Make the first move!”

    David cut short his words, and with a flick of his right hand, the Dragon ying Sword materialized.

    Silver lightning shed from the de, and a chilling, murderous aura permeated, sending shivers down the spines of the surrounding imperial guards.

    “So you rely on weapons!”

    A hint of disdain shed in Ao Lie’s eyes. “I thought you had real skills, but you relied on a fine sword!”

    Before he could finish his words, David had vanished.

    Startled, Ao Lie swung his silver spear, forming an imprable defense.

    However, the moment the silver spear and the Dragon ying Sword collided, a crisp snap rang out, and the silver spear in Ao Lie’s hand was severed by the Dragon ying Sword!

    “What?”

    Ao Lie’s pupils constricted, his face filled with disbelief.

    His silver spear was made of a thousand-year-old ck iron and was indestructible. Even if a cultivator of the ninth level of the Earthly Immortal Realm attacked with all his strength, it might not leave a mark. How could it be cut off by David’s sword?

    David did not give Ao Lie time to react, and pointed the Dragon

    ying Sword directly at his throat. Ao Lie was so scared that his soul was about to be shattered that he quickly dodged to the side, barely avoiding the fatal blow, but the sword wind still left a bloody mark on his neck.

    “Stop!”

    Ao Lie shouted and retreated repeatedly, “It doesn’t count! This doesn’t count at all! You used a magic weapon, and I only used an ordinary ck iron spear. You have too much advantage in weapons, so thispetition does not count!”

    The surrounding imperial guards also echoed, thinking that David had indeed relied on weapons to win, and that the victory was unfair.
