The Lizard Progenitor King Daxiaxi's strength was terrifying indeed. By the time Han Shuo and Emily reached Selt, they saw Daxiaxi kick him into the air like a ball.
Selt's thick knight armor was certainly no ordinary piece of sturdy equipment, but under Daxiaxi's attacks, it was no better than scrap metal. A single kick left a huge dent in it, and the crisp sound of breaking bones came from inside his body.
The Violet Thorn Knights who had followed Selt were utterly loyal to him. Even facing Daxiaxi, they charged forward recklessly, fearless of death as they bought Selt time to escape.
Unfortunately, the gap between their strength and the Lizard Progenitor King Daxiaxi's was too vast. Daxiaxi barely exerted himself before his punches and kicks shattered the internal organs of more than a dozen Violet Thorn Knights, killing them on the spot. The battle aura shooting from their swords and spears could do no damage at all to a being of Daxiaxi's level.
