A Man Like None Other

Chapter 5230

“Be your servant?” David snorted coldly. “Even if you become my servant, I’ll still despise your lack of strength. A mere Fifth-Rank Earthly Immortal Realm is nothing!”

David wasn’t bragging. On that ladder to heaven, the people he rescued, Nan Batian, Li Chunfeng, Shen Zhiyan, Musha, and others, were all far more powerful than this Black Bear Taoist!

They’d all promised to serve him for centuries.

“Oh? Such a boast?” A sinister grin crossed Black Bear Taoist’s face. “Then don’t blame me for being rude!”

He flashed, and his massive fist slammed down on David with a whistling sound that tore through the air.

The aura of a Fifth-Rank Earthly Immortal Realm descended upon David like a mountain, making it difficult for him to breathe.

David didn’t dare to be careless. He held the Dragon Slaying Sword across his chest and blocked with all his might.

“Dang!” The fist and

sword clashed with a deafening roar.

David felt a surge of force, his arms numb, and he was thrown back repeatedly, blood oozing from the corners of his mouth.

“Seventh-rank Sanxian Realm? You can withstand my punch and survive. You’re quite capable, boy.”

The Black Bear Taoist was surprised, but then his expression changed to disdain. “But you’re still too weak against me.”

He advanced again, his fists raining down on David like a torrential rain.

David could only barely resist and was soon at a disadvantage, with new wounds appearing all over his body.

Hu Mazi tried to help, but was locked in by the Black Bear Taoist’s aura, preventing him from getting close.

He was frantic, but helpless.

Just as David was about to collapse, a resounding voice suddenly rang out: “Black Bear cub, bullying my Nan Batian’s benefactor, have you asked me?”

Before he could finish his words, a burly figure descended from the sky like a meteor, blocking David’s path. Nearly three meters tall, his muscles wielding a defiant smile, it was none other than Nan Batian!

“Nan Batian?” Taoist

Black Bear’s expression instantly darkened upon seeing the newcomer. “Why are you here?”

Nan Batian scoffed. “The Fifth Heaven is so vast, I can go wherever I please. Do I even need to report to you?”

He turned to look at David, a gentle smile on his face. “Mr. Chen, long time no see. How are you?”noveldrama

David stared at Nan Batian, a mixture of shock and gratitude filling his heart. “Nan Batian? You… How are you here? And your strength…”

He could sense that Nan Batian had now reached the peak of the Seventh Stage of the Earthly Immortal Realm, far more powerful than when he had ascended the Heavenly Ladder in the Celestial Realm.

After all, when Nan Batian ascended the Heavenly Ladder, his strength was suppressed, and he lacked the resources to cultivate.

Nan Batian laughed heartily and said, “It’s a long story. After leaving the Celestial Realm, I reached the Fifth Heaven and have been cultivating ever since. I didn’t expect to meet Mr. Chen so soon.”

“Mr. Chen’s strength is growing rapidly, too. He’s still fighting above his level, as always. He’s so impressive, reaching the Fifth Heaven from the Scattered Immortal Realm.”

“Shame on you, shame on you. I almost got beaten to death just now!” David said shamefacedly.

Nan Batian turned to look at the Black Bear Taoist, his face instantly turning icy. “Black Bear cub, what did you intend to do to Mr. Chen just now?”

The Black Bear Taoist looked at Nan Batian, then at David, stunned.

Nan Batian, a seventh-rank Earthly Immortal, actually addressed David as “Mr. Chen,” and the two seemed to be old acquaintances.

Now, thinking back to David’s words, the Black Bear Taoist no longer felt boastful.

“Nan Batian, don’t mess around! I’m the Lord of Black Wind Ridge, and I have someone behind me…” The Black Bear Taoist retreated, his eyes filled with fear.

“Even with your mother behind you, it’s no use!” Nan Batian interrupted him, and with a flash of his body, he appeared in front of Taoist Black Bear and knocked him out with a punch.
