Chapter 5365

Zi Yuan’s face darkened slightly, she knew Ao Lie’s temper.

His status as the tenth on the martial arts list made him extremely conceited, and he never took cultivators of lower realms seriously.

But she also understood Kai’s strength, and immediately said in a cold voice: “Commander Ao, the king has ordered, you only need to follow. If you feel that it is too cheap to compete with Fellow Daoist Chen, then send one of your men down to give it a try.”

Ao Lie thought about it and felt that sending a subordinate would not only complete the king’s order but also maintain his status, so he waved to the edge of the martial arts field and said, “Shi Hu, come here!”

A burly, ferocious captain of the Imperial Guards quickly stepped forward and knelt on one knee, “Commander!”

Although Shi Hu is a seventh-grade cultivator in the Earthly Immortal Realm and is well-known for his bravery among the Imperial Guards, an ordinary eighth-grade cultivator in the Earthly Immortal Realm may not be his match.

“I’ve got a task for you.”

Ao Lie pointed at Kai and said casually, “Have a spar with this fellow Daoist Chen. Remember, be gentle and don’t hurt anyone. After all, he’s only a first-grade cultivator in the Earthly Immortal Realm. If anything goes wrong, you won’t be able to bear the blame from the king.”

“yes!”

Shi Hu stood up and looked at Kai with contempt, as if he was looking at an ant that could be crushed to death at any time.

He moved his wrist, and the bones made a “crackling” sound. He grinned and said, “Boy, if you know what’s good for you, just admit defeat. Otherwise, I’ll beat you down and make you lose face.”

Kai glanced at him indifferently without saying a word. He walked straight to the center of the martial arts field and made a “please” gesture to Shi Hu.

“I don’t know what’s good for me!”

Shi Hu snorted coldly, and his body flashed, pouncing forward like a tiger, his fists clenched tightly, and the golden spiritual power condensed into the shape of sharp claws on his fists, smashing towards Kai’s chest with a whistling sound.

The punch was powerful and heavy, and it was obvious that he did not hold back. In his opinion, there was no need to go all out to deal with a first-level cultivator in the Earth Immortal Realm.

The surrounding imperial guards held their breath. In their opinion, if Kai didn’t die from this punch, he would be seriously injured.

Zi Yuan, however, looked calm. She had seen the speed with which Kai cut off Wei Feng’s arm, and she knew that Shi Hu’s seemingly fierce punch might not hurt Kai at all.

Sure enough, just as the fist was about to hit Kai, Kai’s figure suddenly disappeared from the spot.

Shi Hu’s punch missed and he was shocked. Before he could react, he felt a pain on the back of his neck and was hit by a powerful force. He flew out like a kite with a broken string and fell heavily on the black iron stone ground with a “bang”, stirring up a cloud of dust.

“What?”

A hint of surprise flashed in Ao Lie’s eyes. He didn’t even see Kai’s movements clearly.

Shi Hu struggled to get up, with an expression of disbelief on his face.

He touched the back of his neck, where he felt a sharp pain. It was obvious that if the blow had been a little harder, his cervical vertebrae would have been broken.

“Boy, you dare to attack me!”

Shi Hu roared angrily and pounced again.

This time, he didn’t dare to be careless anymore. The golden divine patterns around his body lit up, and a long spiritual sword condensed in his hand. The sword light flashed and swept towards Kai.

Kai remained calm and composed, his figure moving through the sword light like a ghost. No matter how swift Shi Hu’s sword was, it could not touch the corner of his clothes.

Occasionally, Kai would throw a punch or a kick, each time accurately hitting Shi Hu’s weak spot.

“Bang!” “Snap!” “Ah!”

Screams continued to ring out, and Shi Hu’s body was soon covered with scars. The spiritual long sword was also kicked away by Kai.

Finally, Kai grabbed Shi Hu’s wrist and twisted it gently. With a crisp “crack” sound, Shi Hu’s arm was broken.

“I lost…”

Shi Hu could no longer hold on and collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath, his eyes filled with fear as he looked at Kai.
