Chapter 5026

“Kai, I support you—you can do it!” Hu Mazi cheered for Kai.

The cultivators of the Cangxuan Continent, however, all looked at Kai in disbelief.

In their eyes, a first-level Scattered Immortal fighting a fifth-level Scattered Immortal was impossible. To put it politely, it was like an egg trying to smash a rock.

Even though Kai had displayed impressive strength earlier, the gap between the two realms was simply too large.

“Alright, I’ll take you on! It seems that if I don’t show my true power, you won’t understand just how strong I am!”

Huo Zhao stepped forward, releasing a terrifying wave of pressure.

But Kai only smiled coldly. With a flick of his hand, he dispersed the pressure with ease.

He then instructed Mo Qingyun to keep a close eye on Huo Jingjing to prevent her from escaping.

Kai didn’t dare entrust Hu Mazi with Huo Jingjing—he worried that Hu Mazi wouldn’t be able to resist making a spectacle of it in front of tens of thousands of people, and that could cause a lot of trouble.

Given Huo Jingjing’s temper, she might just explode on the spot.

Kai drew the Dragon Slaying Sword, soared into the sky, and faced off against Huo Zhao from a distance.

“Go ahead, make your move.” Kai gestured at Huo Zhao.

“Hold on!” Huo Zhao raised his hand. “Kai, let’s fight fair. You’re not allowed to be possessed by anyone else. If you do, it’s not really your own strength.”

“No problem,” Kai replied with a nod.

He knew Huo Zhao feared the Red Cloud Demon Lord taking over his body, but even without that, Kai was confident he could defeat Huo Zhao.

Kai still had several powerful treasures, the Fire Qilin, and the unpredictable little Swallowing Beast on his side—he was certain he wouldn’t lose.

“Come at me!” Huo Zhao shouted, launching his attack at Kai.

Boom!

Thunder rumbled through the sky as Huo Zhao’s figure blurred, leaving a shadowy afterimage. In an instant, he appeared a hundred feet above Kai’s head.

Forming seals with both hands, he channeled a surge of spiritual power that boiled like magma. The clouds within a hundred miles were obliterated by his overwhelming aura.

“Tiangang Divine Palm!”

With a roar, Huo Zhao’s right palm slammed downward with immense force.
In an instant, a golden giant palm materialized in the air, so vast it seemed to blot out the sky. Its lines were clearly visible, and each groove radiated terrifying, destructive power.

Even before the palm fell, the ground beneath began to collapse. Countless rocks were crushed into dust under the overwhelming pressure.

“Fellow Daoist Chen, be careful!”

Mo Qingyun cried out in shock, clenching her fists so tightly that her nails dug deep into her palms.

She could clearly sense the terrifying power contained in the palm—she, a peak third-grade Scattered Immortal, knew she could never withstand it.

“It’s over… it’s over.”

The cultivators of the Cangxuan Continent were pale with dread, many already collapsing to the ground.

An elderly man, his hair and beard white as snow, trembled as he muttered, “This palm’s power could flatten a thousand miles in an instant.”

Just when everyone thought Kai was finished, his tall figure suddenly moved.

“Break!”

Kai shouted, and the Dragon Slaying Sword in his hand erupted with a dazzling, blood-red glow.

The sword hummed as if a dragon roared, the blade trembling with raw power.

Kai gripped it with both hands, thrusting it upward to meet the giant descending palm head-on.

A blood-red arc shot into the sky, trailing like a rising blood moon.

Boom—!

A deafening explosion echoed across the heavens.

The blood-red sword light clashed with the golden giant palm in mid-air, erupting in a blinding flash.

A violent shockwave of spiritual energy rippled outward in all directions, tearing through every building within several miles and leaving them split in half.

As the smoke and dust settled, everyone’s eyes widened in shock—the seemingly unstoppable giant palm had been split in two!

“What?!”

Huo Zhao’s pupils shrank in disbelief, and the muscles on his face twitched involuntarily.

He stared at Kai, his voice trembling, “You’re only a first-grade Scattered Immortal… How could you possibly break my palm?!”
