When the old man suddenly sat up, all the guests were startled. Some of the women screamed frantically, losing their composure."It’s a zombie!"Shocked to the core, the crowd scattered in all directions. No one expected that the motionless corpse would suddenly spring to life.It was such a terrifying moment! "Dad? Y—you're not dead?" The middle-aged man pretended to be shocked."Yes, I'm not dead." The old man gave a forced smile. His voice was slurred as his dentures were knocked out. Combined with his swollen cheeks, the old man was a comical sight. "Oh my god! This young man could even revive the dead! How could this be?" "No words could express my amazement right now!""What a strange way to treat people! Are medical techniques nowadays getting more straightforward?" Staring at the old man, who was obviously alive and kicking, there was pandemonium in the hall. Some of the onlookers were shocked, and some were curious."Hey, I saved your father's life! Is it to
After a stormy event, the Harmon family’s press conference ended successfully. On the other hand, the influential Hummer family’s press conference ended in dismal failure. The emergence of Immortunol dealt a huge blow to the sales of Eternumax. Compared to another medicine with better efficacy and a cheaper price, Eternumax was regarded as garbage.The Hummer family’s Eternumax couldn't be sold at all. In the end, they were stuck with piles of rotting inventory. The meticulous game planned by Edwin was a complete failure. Although this disaster was unable to weaken the Hummer family’s foundation, it still caused them heavy losses. After the press conference, Dustin was about to say goodbye when he was stopped by Ruth at the door. "Dustin, I need a favor from you." "What is it?" Dustin asked suspiciously. "I'm going to a reunion with some of my classmates later, can you come with me and be my bodyguard?" Ruth was very straightforward. "The Harmon family has so many bodyg
"Ruth, when did you get a boyfriend? Why wasn’t I informed?" Nigel's face turned ugly as he stared at Dustin with hostility. "Do I need to report to you when I have a boyfriend? You really think too highly of yourself." Ruth rolled her eyes. She had already rejected Nigel multiple times, but he just wouldn't give up and continued to pester her."I'm just worried that you might be deceived. There are a lot of con artists these days who use their good looks to cheat people out of their wealth," Nigel said in a mocking tone."That's not true! Dustin is not a con man!" Sheila quickly defended him. When everyone fixed their gazes on her, Sheila realized that she had spoken out of turn and immediately shut her mouth."Ms. Murray, what's with the sachet on your neck?" Dustin suddenly noticed something unusual."Is there a problem?" Sheila picked up the sachet and examined it."Throw it away. It's a little suspicious." Dustin shook his head."Hey, what do you mean? This aromatic sach
"You attacked out of turn!" Nigel held his bleeding nose and scowled at the assassins' leader.Damn it, he didn't even have a chance to show off in front of Ruth! Where were his manners!"It’s your fault for getting distracted in battle! Are you tired of living?" The leader sneered."Scumbag, you are getting on my nerves! I'll give you one last chance to kneel and beg for mercy, otherwise, I will roundhouse kick you in the arse!" Nigel glared at him viciously. As he threatened, Nigel leaped into the air and did a somersault, looking quite impressive. "Arrogant fool!" The assassins' leader’s eyes were cold as he and his remaining men rushed toward Nigel at once. "Be careful, Mr. Lincoln!" The girls exclaimed in shock."Don’t overestimate yourself!" Nigel roared fearlessly as he took a step back to perform his special move. He spun around like a spinning top, attacking the assassins ferociously. His kicks were merciless and deadly; anyone who got close to Nigel was knocked
There was pin-drop silence in the private room. At a loss for words, everyone was aghast at what had happened. No one expected the twist of events. Just a minute ago, Nigel was their hero, flaunting his strength and skills, but now he was lying helplessly on the ground like a dead dog. How could this bald guy be so powerful? "H—how dare you hurt me? Do you know who I am? I'm Nigel Lin…""Shut the hell up!" With a crack, the bald man stepped on Nigel’s leg and broke it. Nigel wailed in pain, with cold sweat appearing on his forehead. "If you’ve got the nerve, tell me your names!" Nigel gritted his teeth, his eyes flashing with rage."Listen up! My name is Brent Garcia, and this is my brother, Wade Garcia!" The bald man in green announced loudly."Brent Garcia, Wade Garcia? Could it be...are you guys the Four Scoundrels?" Nigel's pupils shrank in fear."The Four Scoundrels!" Everyone was shocked at the revelation. The Four Scoundrels was a notorious group of merciless a
"H—how was this possible?!" Nigel gasped, his mouth wide and his face full of disbelief.He finally witnessed how formidable the Four Scoundrels were in person. Either one of them could quickly snuff him out.It was perhaps fate that an expert like himself had been crippled by a doctor they looked down upon.Such a thing was practically unheard of!"How is this guy so powerful?" Claudia's eyes widened in shock and bewilderment.Initially, she had assumed that Dustin was an unsavory character who only knew how to resort to using dirty tricks up his sleeve, so she hadn’t expected him to be so skilled in martial arts.He was miles better than her!He wielded such strength at such a young age, too. She was frozen on the spot once the revelation hit her that she was no longer a goddess among men."Dustin’s way too cool!" Sheila cheered as her eyes sparkled.After exchanging glances with one another, the rest of the girls also started looking at him in a different light. Not used
Everyone in the room was flabbergasted as they stared at Xavier, who’d been mercilessly battered and bruised.No one had expected Dustin to be so bold as to slap Xavier. Everyone knew that the Horst family was among the five most powerful families in the Southern province. They were the top of the top! They were essentially untouchable!As an immediate heir, he was the rising star of the Horst family.So, no matter where he went, he’d have the stars laid out at his feet.No one had ever dared to humiliate him in public like this, much less slap him like a maniac so many times.Was this guy batshit crazy?"Y—you dare hit me?" Xavier asked rhetorically. The corners of his eyes started twitching as he tried to put on a fierce expression."I'm not just going to beat you, I'm going to make sure you can never use your hands ever again!" Dustin snorted and proceeded to stomp on his wrist, breaking it."Argh!" Xavier wailed in pain as he broke out in a cold sweat, his expression twis
"S—so that was a charm after all?"Everyone at the scene was frozen in place as they stared at the red snake that Xavier vomited. One by one, their faces showed looks of disbelief. No one could’ve ever imagined that the esteemed heir of the Horst family, who had a bright and promising future ahead of him, had stooped this low just to court someone."Xavier, I never thought you’d be like this!" Claudia yelled angrily in shock.Who knew that she’d be the one who would be deceived by trusting him too much in the end? She almost became an accomplice in his schemes too!"I—" Xavier was at a loss for words as his face turned pale. The truth was already laid bare for all to see, so even if he still insisted on denying it, his attempts would be absolutely futile. "Hmph, It’s a good thing Dustin has a good eye to see through your evil schemes. Otherwise, Sheila would’ve fallen right into your trap!" Ruth spat, her expression full of contempt.She hated despicable and shameless men li
"Take a guess." Willard didn't answer. Instead, he took another sip from his flask.His cultivation had been sealed, but his strength came from the wine in his hand. The wine was refined with valuable herbs and contained dense spiritual energy, which he could absorb and convert into combat power.In short, every sip made him stronger. Even with his cultivation sealed, he could still execute powerful techniques."It's the wine, isn't it?" Garrett's gaze landed on the flask, and a quick realization set in. Willard drank before and after every attack, which hinted at something suspicious."Bingo. But no prize for you." Willard smirked and launched forward with a palm strike aimed at Garrett. Though his strength wasn't at its peak, the attack remained a deadly threat to the already injured Garrett."Mr. Styles, save me." Garrett knew he had no chance of blocking it and cried for help."Go to hell, traitor!" Hank saw the internal commotion unfold and threw a powerful punch at Willard
With a longsword in hand, Dustin plunged into the crowd like a tiger among sheep and cut down his enemies with brutal efficiency.Though he couldn't tap into his mystical energy, his physical strength far outstripped that of an average martial artist. His speed, power, reflexes, and combat skills crushed anyone in his path.Every swing of his blade was precise and targeted the enemy's vital spots with deadly accuracy, which left no room for defense.Under his relentless assault, the assassins were helpless. The air rang with their screams as bodies fell one after another.Unlike the tournament match, Dustin now unleashed his full power in this life-or-death fight. His attacks were becoming more brutal and relentless than ever."This kid's tougher than I thought." Hank frowned as he watched his men struggle.He hadn't expected Dustin to have such formidable combat prowess, even with his sealed cultivation. If an unmatched genius like Dustin couldn't be made an ally, he had to be e
"Step forward, and you're dead!" Facing the onslaught of desperate assassins, Dustin showed no mercy. With a swing of his long sword, a dazzling sword aura swept through the darkness like a crescent moon and briefly illuminated the night sky. The assassins only saw a flash of white light and instinctively stopped in their tracks. When the brilliance faded, those at the front stood frozen as if struck by a paralysis spell.A moment later, heads tumbled to the ground, like ripe fruit falling from a tree. The headless bodies stood upright for two seconds before collapsing, blood splattering everywhere.The gruesome sight shocked everyone. They exchanged uneasy glances and were hesitant to move forward. No one had anticipated Dustin's sword to be so fast that the fallen couldn't even defend themselves.The assassins who had just been killed were among the elites. Yet, none of them could block even a single strike. The difference in strength was clear."What are you standing aroun
The people who emerged from the fog wore masks that hid their faces, but each had the Hall of Gods emblem on their bodies. Among them was a small group led by Dustin.After sensing a battle nearby, Dustin had deliberately left his team behind to investigate alone. He hadn't expected another group to lead them out of the fog formation."What's going on? Why are there so many bodies scattered around?" "Looks like they ran into a strong enemy. Stay sharp, everyone!" The sight of scattered corpses put everyone on edge. Their eyes darted between Dustin and Aven."Dustin, what are you doing here alone?" The leader of the group recognized him immediately.The Hall of Gods had recruited several teams, each marked by different colored masks, with team leaders wearing a distinctive emblem."Hank?" Dustin narrowed his eyes as he recognized the voice. "What happened here?" Hank asked tentatively."I don't know. I just stepped out of the fog formation." Dustin shook his head."Really?"
Though Marcell was momentarily stunned, he still explained patiently, "This man is the guardian of the Forbidden Ground. If we kill him, we'll be able to take the treasure." He was gravely wounded and had to rely on Dustin to deal with Aven, so he needed to be persuasive."We can talk about the treasure later. Right now, it's time to settle some old scores." Dustin stretched out his hand, and the long sword on the ground shot up into his grasp."Settle old scores? What are you talking about?" Marcell blinked in confusion, especially when he saw the sword in Dustin's hand. A feeling of unease spread through him."You and that big guy planned to use me as bait. Then, you sent me into the fog to clear the way for you," Dustin said flatly. "Did you really think I didn't hear that? Since you want to harm me, don't blame me for being ruthless.""What… What are you going to do?" Marcell panicked. "We're both working for the Hall of Gods. There's no need for this kind of betrayal. If thi
When the black death energy entered his body, Aven felt as if his entire being was being ripped apart. The pain was unbearable, as though a swarm of venomous insects was gnawing at him from the inside. It wasn't just his body that suffered, but his soul was being torn apart as well."Curse you! Get out of my body!" he roared in fury as he tried to force the black death energy out of his system.The death energy seemed to have burrowed deep into his bones. It was invasive and siphoned away his life force with every passing second. Even his internal energy was being drained to feed it. If this continued, he would be completely drained in less than three minutes."Won't leave, huh? Fine. We'll die together!" Aven's anger boiled over, and he went all out in his attack.He raised his hand, and dozens of Divine Talismans shot into the air to form a formation above his head. As it spun, a massive black thundercloud began to take shape. Lightning flashed, and thunder rumbled with terrifyin
The once frail Marcell began to undergo a rapid transformation. His muscles and bones grew at an astonishing pace. In the blink of an eye, his height jumped from five feet three inches to nearly six feet, and he kept growing.His once skeletal frame rapidly filled with dense muscle, and his skin stretched taut as if it might tear. His hunched back straightened, and his entire frame became incredibly imposing.Within just a few seconds, Marcell had transformed into a completely different person. Standing close to six feet five inches, his muscles bulged, his eyes burned with bloodlust, and he radiated a terrifying presence. If he had once been a frail wildcat, now he was a ruthless tiger.At that instant, Marcell was surrounded by swirling dark energy. His face twisted into a menacing and bloodthirsty expression. He looked like a demon straight out of hell."It is so delicious." Marcell licked his lips after absorbing the surrounding death energy and resentment.The Soul Abyss Tech
The poisoned needles zipped through the air with blinding speed. They were impossible to avoid, and each was aimed directly at vital points. One hit meant certain death."Hmph! What a simple parlor trick." The gray-robed elder, Aven Foyer, stood motionless. A sudden burst of golden light flared around him. The needles struck the light but bounced away, which left him completely unharmed."Glow Incantation?" Marcell seemed to have expected this. He smirked but didn't stop attacking. With a quick motion, his hands moved in rapid succession. A new wave of poison needles poured out like a torrential storm and swept toward Aven."Get him!" Marcell shouted as he signaled his men to attack.He knew well that the guardian of Sacred Wyrm Summit's forbidden ground wasn't someone he could take down alone. So, he had no choice but to overwhelm Aven with numbers."Kill him!"Without hesitation, the two groups of men drew their weapons and charged toward Aven in a coordinated assault. Pois
"Open up!" Danny roared as he slammed his fist into the bronze door. A surge of internal energy exploded from his body.The door shook with a deafening boom, and dust scattered, but nothing unusual happened. The symbols on its surface flickered briefly before fading."Hmm?" Danny froze as he stared at the undamaged door in disbelief. With his natural strength and the power his techniques granted him, he had expected the bronze door to shatter easily. But what he saw before him completely defied his expectations.The murmurs behind him only added to his unease. He had boasted so confidently about smashing the door open, yet it hadn't budged an inch. His face flushed with embarrassment."I don't believe it!" Danny took a deep breath and channeled all his internal energy into his fists before striking the bronze door again.Another loud crash echoed as the bronze door trembled, and the dust fell off. The mysterious symbols on the door glowed once more. Like before, the door remain
