Chapter 5366

The martial arts arena suddenly became quiet. The imperial guards who had just been mocking Kai were now stunned, and the smiles on their faces froze.

A cultivator of the first rank of the Earthly Immortal Realm could actually defeat a captain of the seventh rank of the Earthly Immortal Realm so easily? This completely overturned their cognition!

Zi Yuan raised a faint smile and looked at Ao Lie, “Commander Ao, do you still think that Fellow Daoist Chen is unworthy of sparring?”

Ao Lie’s expression was extremely grim. He stared at Kai and said in a deep voice, “It doesn’t count! 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 the opportunity! If he had used all his strength, you wouldn’t have had a chance at all!”

As soon as these words were spoken, even Shi Hu on the ground couldn’t help but want to refute – he had clearly tried his best just now, but he couldn’t even touch the corner of Kai’s clothes, how could he be considered merciful?

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

Upon hearing this, Kai smiled disdainfully, “Oh? So, I won unfairly?”

“That’s right!”

Ao Lie stiffened his neck and said, “You’re just lucky! If it was a real life-or-death fight, you would have been killed by Shi Hu long ago!”

“OK.”

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

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

I’ll bet one million immortal stones. If I lose, the immortal stones belong to you. If you lose, you also have to pay one million immortal stones. How about that?

One million immortal stones is not a small number. Even a commander of the imperial guards like Ao Lie would need decades to accumulate it.

But he was angered by Kai’s attitude, and coupled with the humiliation just now, he agreed without thinking: “Okay! I bet with you! I want to see how you, a cultivator of the first rank of the Earthly Immortal Realm, can fight me to the death!”

The surrounding imperial guards became excited and gathered around, wanting to watch a life-and-death battle between a first-grade Earth Immortal and a ninth-grade Earth Immortal at the peak.

Zi Yuan wanted to dissuade him, but was stopped by Kai’s eyes – what he wanted was to completely convince Ao Lie and let everyone in the Kingdom of God understand that he was qualified to cooperate with the Kingdom of God on an equal footing.

Ao Lie strode to the center of the martial arts arena, shook the silver spear in his hand, and pointed the spear tip directly at Kai: “Boy, don’t say I’m bullying you, you make the first move!”

Kai stopped talking nonsense and flipped his right hand. The Dragon Slaying Sword appeared out of thin air in his hand.

Silver lightning flashed on the sword, and a cold murderous aura spread out, making the surrounding imperial guards shiver.

“So it’s by weapons!”

A trace of disdain flashed in Ao Lie’s eyes, “I thought you had real skills, but I didn’t expect you were just relying on a good sword!”

Before he finished speaking, Kai’s figure had disappeared from the spot.

Ao Lie was shocked and quickly swung his silver spear to form an impenetrable defense.

However, at the moment when the silver spear collided with the Dragon Slaying Sword, there was a crisp “click” sound, and the silver spear in Ao Lie’s hand was actually cut in half by the Dragon Slaying Sword!

“What?”

Ao Lie’s pupils suddenly shrank, and his face was full of disbelief.

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

Kai did not give Ao Lie time to react, and pointed the Dragon Slaying Sword directly at his throat.

Ao Lie was so frightened that he quickly dodged to the side, barely avoiding the fatal blow, but the sword still left a bloody mark on his neck.

“stop!”

Ao Lie yelled and retreated repeatedly, “It doesn’t count! It doesn’t count at all! You used a divine weapon, and I only used an ordinary black iron spear. You have a huge advantage in weapons, so this competition doesn’t count!”

The surrounding imperial guards also echoed this sentiment, thinking that Kai had indeed won by relying on weapons, and that his victory was unfair.
