Chapter 5276The second round of competition took place three days later.After the first round of screening, the remaining contestants were all the best from their respective sects, their strength having been elevated to a higher level.David’s opponent was a disciple from the Fiery Sect named Zhang Kuang, a fourth-rank Earthly Immortal. He had mastered the “Fiery Sword Technique” to perfection, his strikes imbued with scorching energy, said to be capable of melting fine iron.“Boy, you’re lucky to have made it to the second round. Your luck ends with me!”Zhang Kuang wielded a crimson sword, a faint flame lingering on its blade, evidently imbued with the spiritual power of fire.David remained calm as he slowly drew his Dragon Slaying Sword.The moment the sword was unsheathed, there was no earth-shattering roar, only a gentle humming sound, like a dormant dragon awakening.But Hu Mazi, familiar with the Dragon Slaying Sword, knew the terrifying power contained within this seemingly mundane hum.“Oh? Finally drawing your sword?”Zhang Kuang sneered. “Alas, your sword will become nothing but scrap metal before me!”Before he finished speaking, he had already swung his sword. A crimson flash of light emanated like a fiery dragon emerging from the sea, surging towards David with a scorching heat.The audience felt a surge of searing heat, and many of the less advanced cultivators instinctively took a few steps back.“What a powerful inferno! This ‘Fiery Sword Technique’ truly lives up to its reputation!”“Then David is in trouble. Even the spiritual energy of the Scattered Immortal Realm is no match for this blaze!”Facing this powerful and devastating blow, David advanced instead of retreating.With a flick of his wrist, the Dragon Slaying Sword traced a strange arc through the air, like an antelope hanging its horns, leaving no trace.Wherever the sword flashed, the seemingly ferocious fire dragon seemed to have met its nemesis, instantly disintegrating.“What?”Zhang Kuang was horrified. He had never seen anyone so easily dispel his “Fiery Sword Technique.”noveldramaBefore he could react, David’s sword, like a venomous snake, was already pointing straight at his wrist. Sorry, there was an error loading the chapter content. WeThe sword’s angle was incredibly tricky, making it impossible to avoid.Zhang Kuang could only abruptly drop his sword, simultaneously clenching his left hand into a fist and striking David’s chest with searing spiritual energy. Knowinghis swordsmanship was inferior to his opponent’s, he sought to rely on his cultivation to fight head-on.A cold glint flashed in David’s eyes, and his body spun like a top, dodging the punch while sweeping across with the Dragon Slaying Sword.“Swish!”The sword flashed, neatly slicing Zhang Kuang’s sleeve, leaving a bloody streak on his arm.Had he not retreated quickly, the sword would have crippled his entire arm.Zhang Kuang was shocked and furious. He took a few steps back, clutching his wound, and looked at David with a look of fear in his eyes: “You… what’s the origin of your swordsmanship?”David did not answer, but stood there with his sword in hand, saying calmly: “Do you want to fight again?”Zhang Kuang looked at the seemingly ordinary iron sword in David’s hand, then at the wound on his arm. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, “I surrender!”After saying this, he picked up the long sword on the ground and walked off the stage in an embarrassed manner.The audience burst into thunderous cheers again.“Victory with one sword! David is too powerful!”“An eighth-grade Loose Immortal Realm defeated the fourth-grade Earth Immortal Realm; this is simply against the will of heaven!”“I now believe that he can make it to the end!”On the VIP platform, Qin Lie frowned even more tightly, and he said to Zhao Jingfeng beside him: “David’s swordsmanship is very strange. It seems plain, but he can always defeat clumsiness with cleverness. You must not be careless when you meet him.” Zhao Jingfeng saiddisapprovingly, “Don’t worry, Master, these are just some opportunistic tricks. If we fight head-on, he can’t even take my sword.”“This kid not only has high swordsmanship, but also very powerful sword intent. I have experienced it before…”“You must not be careless, be careful of a capsize in the ditch…”Qin Feng looked at David and remembered that when he was competing with Ling Xue in sword intent on the city gate, David’s sword intent attacked, separating the two of them.
