Chapter 4604
“Senior, can you help me deal with this arrogant fool?” Kai pleaded with the Red Cloud Demon Lord.
The Demon Lord raised an eyebrow. “Just a fourth-grade cultivator in the Mahayana Realm? Can’t you handle him yourself?”
Kai explained his reservations, and after listening, the Red Cloud Demon Lord nodded. “Alright, I’ll help you, but I can’t possess your body. I’m not a beastman, and attaching myself to you would make it too obvious.”
“Then how exactly will you help me?” Kai asked, puzzled.
“Don’t worry. If I say I’ll help, I will. Just focus on the fight,” the Red Cloud Demon Lord replied confidently.
Kai nodded reluctantly. Despite his concerns, he felt reassured. Facing a fourth-grade Mahayana cultivator, Kai knew he had to keep his composure.
The challenger, exuding arrogance, stepped forward with his aura flaring. The room filled with ripples of spiritual power as his energy surged. “Boy,” he growled, “I’ll show you today that the gap between realms isn’t so easily bridged.”
Kai remained calm, narrowing his eyes slightly. “Please, enlighten me,” he replied, his voice steady.
Without further ado, the challenger darted toward Kai, his hand glowing with condensed spiritual power. He struck with ferocious intent, aiming directly for Kai.
The onlookers watched with bated breath, convinced Kai would struggle against the ferocity of the attack.
But Kai moved with precision. At the last moment, he sidestepped smoothly, allowing the attack to miss entirely.
The challenger froze momentarily, startled by Kai’s agility. He quickly regained his composure and launched another strike. This time, streams of spiritual power snaked toward Kai, coiling like living entities.
Kai smirked faintly. With a casual wave of his hand, an invisible force shattered the incoming spiritual streams with ease.
The room grew tense as the challenger’s expression darkened. He hadn’t expected Kai to neutralize his attacks so effortlessly. Gritting his teeth, he decided to unleash his strongest move.
The guest let out a thunderous shout, his spiritual power erupting in a violent surge. Behind him, a massive phantom of a ferocious beast materialized, radiating an oppressive aura that struck fear into everyone present.
With both hands thrust forward, the guest directed the roaring phantom to charge at Kai.
The audience held their breath, their faces tense with worry for Kai.
Yet Kai remained unfazed. Calmly, he raised his right hand, and a golden light began to form in his palm. With a gentle push, the light transformed into a radiant golden dragon that roared as it rushed toward the phantom beast.
The two forces collided with a deafening explosion, sending powerful energy ripples through the hall, causing it to tremble slightly.
All eyes were fixed on the clash, the tension palpable.
The golden dragon, fierce and unstoppable, tore through the phantom beast with ease, dispersing it into nothingness.
The fourth-grade Mahayana cultivator staggered backward under the force of the backlash, his face pale and shaken.
Kai, however, stood unmoving, his composure undisturbed, as if the clash had been nothing more than a minor inconvenience.
The hall fell into stunned silence, the weight of disbelief heavy in the air.
General Xing’s eyes widened in shock as he stared at Kai. Moments ago, he had doubted Kai’s abilities, but witnessing him effortlessly overpower a fourth-grade Mahayana guest left him reevaluating his assumptions.
The other guests were equally speechless. None had imagined that a ninth-grade Tribulation Realm cultivator could so decisively defeat someone at the fourth rank of the Mahayana Realm.
Kai broke the silence with a faint smile, offering a courteous, “Thank you.”
The room’s occupants snapped out of their daze, their initial skepticism replaced by awe.
It became clear to all that this seemingly unremarkable dragon had a strength far beyond what anyone had anticipated.
