In an instant, everything changed. Elysia's icy breath sent chills down the spine. Everything within 30 feet became solid ice, and even Dustin became an ice sculpture."Haha! Frozen solid! This bastard is a goner!" Scott laughed, clearly enjoying the spectacle.After Dustin pummeled Cooper with a punch, he couldn't help but feel a bit shaken. Now, witnessing his opponent frozen, his confidence soared."True to Elysia's reputation, her tricks are something else." The astonished crowd noted.It was downright terrifying to freeze a martial artist master with a breath."Die!" Elysia, wide-eyed and merciless, threw a punch at Dustin's chest. Freezing was her ultimate move; anyone she froze would shatter when hit.An explosion echoed as Elysia's fist hit Dustin's chest. The ice shards scattered, but to Elysia's surprise, Dustin remained intact, not a tear in his clothes."H-How is this possible?" Elysia's eyes widened, struggling to believe her mystical arts did not affect Dustin."G
Scott's eyes twitched as he took a few steps back.Acold sweat dripped down his body, and his hair stood on end. At that moment, he finally realized the severity of the situation. Dustin's strength far exceeded his expectations. For Dustin to take down the Undead Hexcasters with a single move showed that he wasn't just some divine master but a true grandmaster martial artist! Fuck! How could an unknown kid be this powerful?"Hey, pal, I appreciate your skills. I'm giving you a chance to rise to the top now." Anders, who had been watching coldly, suddenly spoke, "As long as you're willing to join me, I can overlook today's events. "Not only that, I'll get you into the military and give you a high position. From then on, everything will be under your control!""What?" Scott's expression changed instantly upon hearing this. He hastily said, "Sir Anders, this bastard is a ticking time bomb. Keeping him around would be asking for endless trouble!"After all, Scott and Dustin had
Scott trembled, his smile frozen as a blinding flash left him bewildered. Before he could comprehend what was going on, the light had vanished."What just happened? What's going on?" Panic gripped him as his heart raced. He felt a chill on his neck. When he touched it, his hand was covered in blood.Why was there blood? How was that possible? His thoughts were interrupted as the world around him spun.A jarring thud of something hitting the ground caught his attention. In the next second, Scott was startled to see the back of his own body from the ground.He was wearing a suit and standing tall, but there was no head on his shoulders. He had turned into a headless body."Where's my head? Where is it?" Scott tried to scream, but there was no sound. All he could do was watch as his headless body fell to the ground. Darkness enveloped his vision, and he succumbed to unconsciousness.Just like that, Scott was dead. His head had been severed in one swift move by Dustin.Everything
Lana had died because of them. Dustin planned to take Scott's severed head to show he had avenged her."You're dead meat!" Dustin's indifference and disdain annoyed Anders, leading him to throw a punch without exchanging further words. A scorching golden light shot out like a missile toward Dustin.Dustin raised his hand without dodging or evading, releasing a burst of blinding white light.The golden light and white brilliance collided with each other, resulting in a deafening roar. The collision caused overwhelming waves of energy that were like a tidal wave.There was a strong blast of wind. It hit the crowd like a tornado.The collision between two grandmaster-level experts was far beyond what an ordinary person could endure, even if it was just the aftermath of their battle.Realizing the danger, people scattered immediately to keep a safe distance."This bastard is indeed a grandmaster martial artist! No wonder he's so confident." Anders squinted his eyes. Even though
Once the dust settled, a massive crater appeared at the center of the explosion. It was roughly 30 feet in diameter, resembling a dried-up pond. It was a devastating sight. At the edge of the crater, Dustin and Anders locked eyes from a distance. Dustin was expressionless, his gaze indifferent, still holding Scott's severed head. Anders had a serious expression, facing a formidable opponent.The two stood in a tense standoff, neither making any sudden moves."Wait, did this bastard block Sir Anders' earth-shattering strike just now?" someone exclaimed."Not only did he block it, but he also looks like he hasn't suffered any injuries," another added."Wow! Since when did Oakvale have a genius who can go head-to-head with the Veros Warrior? That's pretty unbelievable!"As the two contenders battled it out, members of the Moseys looked at each other in surprise.Anders had long been an idol to everyone. In Dragonmarsh, only a few could be compared to him, and each was a top-tier
Anders shot the bald man a stern look. The bald man quickly apologized and ran away. He had intended to curry favor with Anders but was instead shot down by Anders."Men! Come here!" Anders gestured, and two guards rushed over, asking, "What are your orders, sir?""Deploy all resources and conduct a thorough investigation on Dustin Rhys. I want to know everything about him!" Anders commanded with a stern tone."Yes, sir!" The guards responded and promptly departed."Acting recklessly on my turf. Let's see who you really are!" Anders muttered, his expression cold.Knowing the opponent was a crucial part of a battle. With comprehensive information about his enemies, Anders believed he could deal with Dustin easily.…Dustin held Scott's head and confidently exited Jadeleaf Manor.He knew that his bold actions might lead to problems in the future, but he couldn't concern himself with that at the moment. His priority was to avenge Lana's death using Scott's death. It wouldn't
"What did you just say?" Matteo, who was still grieving, roared at Eleanor and Elena. His sorrow transformed into anger.Seeing things were getting out of hand, two of the Camron family members by his side quickly held Matteo back.One of them whispered, "Matteo, these two are heiresses from the high society. You can't afford to make a scene. Just let it slide.""Yeah, they're trouble. If something happens here, it will affect our whole family," another chimed in.Taking a deep breath, Matteo reluctantly suppressed his emotions."Mr. Camron, no need to get all worked up. You should watch your temper. It's not good for your health," Eleanor said, smirking.She was prepared for the occasion. She wasn't about to let the Camron family intimidate her."What do you want? My daughter's gone, and you're here to add insult to injury?" Matteo shouted."Hey, Mr. Camron, don't just accuse us like that. Lana was like a sister to us, and her passing genuinely saddens us," Eleanor said, prete
The Camron family members were in a frenzy, trying to figure out how they had attracted the attention of the Moseys. As a second-tier family, the Camrons knew they couldn't match the influence of a powerhouse like the Moseys. The Camrons knew that if the Moseys wished to, they could easily wipe the Camrons out overnight.Matteo's expression soured as he asked, "What do you want?" Despite his reluctance to admit it, the Camron family was still in serious trouble. They hadn't fulfilled the conditions promised to Scott. Even with his daughter's death, the threat loomed over them."Mr. Camron, no need to worry. We're here to help you through this tough time." Eleanor smiled."Yeah. Given our deep connection with the Moseys, if we vouch for you, the Camron family will be spared," Elena added confidently."Why are you helping us when we're not even related?" Matteo asked sternly. He wasn't buying their seemingly kind acts."Well, that brings us back to the deal I mentioned earlier
