Feeling the overwhelming aura, Emlyn couldn’t help but hold his breath.? He could clearly sense that this aura could crush all life in the vicinity.
The? Shadow Ape and the Lightning Leopard also sensed the danger and quickly looked up.? David emerged from the void’s fissure, his fist surrounded by the power of the Milky Way.
In the next moment, his fist smashed directly into the two super beasts.? “Boom!”? The entire forest began to tremble violently.? Trees fell around them, and boulders from the mountaintops rolled down.? It felt like an earthquake had just struck, causing the world to change dramatically.? Amid the thunderous roar, dust billowed into the air.
Once the dust settled, Emlyn quickly looked up.? He saw David standing alone, but at his feet was a crater about five meters in diameter.
“This punch…? is too ferocious!”? Emlyn gasped in amazement.? He felt that David’s punch could have instantly killed him.
David remained in place, the aura of the Milky Way still expanding around his fist, like a blazing fire.? With this Milky Way Shattering Fist, David had shattered the ground beneath his feet.? Both the Lightning Leopard and the? Shadow Ape were thrown into the deep pit along with David’s punch.
Staring into the abyss, David didn’t hurry to leave.? Instead, he stood there as if waiting for something.? This puzzled Emlyn.? A punch of that magnitude should have been able to destroy everything.? Could those two super beasts still be alive?? As confusion crossed Emlyn’s face, an angry roar echoed from within the pit!
Then, a streak of yellow light shot out from the abyss, heading straight for David’s face.? This yellow light was none other than the Lightning Leopard!? Thanks to the timely intervention of the? Shadow Ape, which used its body to shield the Lightning Leopard from David’s punch, the leopard’s life was spared.
The? Shadow Ape, however, didn’t have time to mount a counterattack and was obliterated by David’s punch, its body crashing into the pit.? Even so, the Lightning Leopard was weakened, clinging to life by a thread, using its last ounce of strength to launch a final attack on David.
Just as the Lightning Leopard launched its sudden assault, the Battle Lizard, which had been recuperating nearby, sensed that the time was right.? It leaped out, revealing its sharp teeth in a full-mouth grin.
With the two super beasts attacking from opposite directions, David seemed to have no escape.? Emlyn suddenly grew nervous.? Even when he was only fighting the Battle Lizard, he couldn’t manage to divide his attention.? Now, with David caught between two super beasts, it seemed he was on the brink of life and death.
Emlyn couldn’t help but feel a sense of pity.? It was a shame that this young man who had surprised him might die right before his eyes.
Yet, Emlyn had underestimated David’s strength.? As the two super beasts closed in, David’s body spun, deftly dodging their attacks at a tricky angle.? His speed was so astonishing that even the Lightning Leopard failed to react. .
Then, a faint golden defensive layer began to radiate from David’s body, and his fist was now covered in a dazzling golden hue, enhancing the ferocity of the Milky Way Shattering Fist.
“Die!”? David yelled, his fist smashing toward the Battle Lizard’s head.? A burst of colorful golden light appeared before Emlyn’s eyes.? “Bang!”? He only heard an explosive sound before he reopened his eyes.
The Battle Lizard had transformed into a headless corpse, its body lying straight on the ground.? The surrounding boulders were splattered with flesh and brain matter.
Emlyn couldn’t help but swallow hard.? But David wasn’t done yet.? After shattering the Battle Lizard’s head with a punch, he aimed his alloy short knife at the Lightning Leopard’s body.
“Roar!”? The Lightning Leopard roared, extending its sharp claws and pouncing, but David was faster.? A blur streaked by, and David appeared behind the Lightning Leopard.? He sheathed the alloy short knife and brushed the dust off his hands.? He looked at Emlyn, who was already stunned in place, and said with a smile, “Done.”
Huh?? Emlyn was taken aback and quickly looked at the Lightning Leopard.? As his gaze landed on the creature, it split in half from front to back and crashed to the ground.? There was not even a sound of agony;? it had turned into a lifeless corpse!
“I can’t believe it!? This…? this is too terrifying!”? Emlyn felt sweat on his palms.? David’s actions had utterly shocked him.
When Emlyn turned his gaze to David, he found David missing.? He felt a jolt!? Then, a chilling sensation crept up his neck.? Emlyn, who had just recovered the God of Infancy not long ago, couldn’t help but shudder.
David emerged from the void, alloy short knife pressed against Emlyn’s neck.? He leaned in, his voice cold as he asked, “Well?? Am I worthy of being your master?”
This battle had been specifically arranged by David for Emlyn.? He knew Emlyn would betray him, so he had to quash his arrogance.
Feeling David’s overwhelming killing intent, Emlyn broke into a cold sweat.? Now he finally understood why Clive had sent him here.? Because only David was truly his master.
After a brief hesitation, Emlyn finally lowered his head and called out, “Master.”? This call was something he had never used for anyone else, and it came from the heart.? He knew that if he held any objections, David would not hesitate to sever his head.? It wasn’t submission but respect and allegiance to David.
Emlyn turned and knelt before David, bowing his head.? Seeing Emlyn like this, a slight smile tugged at the corners of David’s mouth.? “If you ever entertain such thoughts again, I won’t mind sending your body to Clive.”
With that, David summoned the spear.? Emlyn respectfully nodded and without further ado, stepped into the spear’s projection.? He fully believed David’s words.
Putting away the spear, David smiled faintly.? He had his own way of dealing with someone like Emlyn.? Anyone attempting to play the hero before him, like a mantis trying to catch a cicada, was doomed to fail.
Two lifetimes as a person had taught David that one had to be ruthless to stand firm.? He could have easily killed Emlyn just now, but doing so might have damaged Clive’s reputation.? So, after a moment’s consideration, David decided to spare his life, viewing him as a subordinate.? The spear slowly faded and returned to the circular jade pendant.
David put away the pendant and approached the bodies of the Lightning Leopard and Battle Lizard.? He looked at the two super beasts, their miserable deaths, and shook his head.
Meanwhile, the system’s voice echoed in his ears.
