Dalen smirked at Ruby.Ruby snorted, "Hmph! What's so impressive about that? That brat was just testing the waters. He didn't even unleash his full strength. Even a pig could defend against it!"Dalen merely smiled in response. However, Miles, who was beside them, had a strange look on his face. Even though he knew she was referring to Dustin, her words felt particularly cutting. After all, he had been defeated by a single strike. Didn't that imply he was less capable than a pig? It was a stinging remark."Dragonmarshian, you're stronger than I thought. However, it's a pity that today, you are still going to suffer defeat!" Marco was momentarily stunned before quickly composing himself with seriousness. Despite unleashing 70% of his power in that last strike, Dustin had effortlessly defended against it. This proved that Dustin was a formidable opponent, even more so than Vincent from the earlier rounds. Vincent only had exceptional spear techniques and failed to put any pres
"I didn't expect Marco to be the successor to Jump Force. Dalen, it looks like your friend is in danger!" Crystal's gaze hardened, and she grew particularly solemn. Luca had a widely renowned reputation, even in Dragonmarsh. If Marco had direct knowledge of the skill, he was basically already in part a Sword Sage. It was obvious that he had visited Dragonmarsh and called for a public duel to make a name for himself. "No wonder he's so formidable. It turns out that he's a disciple of the strongest Sword Sage in Kimboku. It was reasonable that I lost." Miles straightened his chest, appearing proud. If he had lost to an unknown person, it would have significantly impacted the Sword Union's reputation. However, it would be a different story if he lost to Luca's direct disciple.Luca's prowess was equivalent to Dragonmarsh's top ultimate grandmaster, and his influence was comparable to the Sword Union's leader, Cyrus Hadley. Since Cyrus's direct disciple was Glenn Hadley, Marco's
When everyone could see what was happening, Marco had already appeared behind Dustin. Plus, the former was slowly sheathing his Demon sword.To Marco, the slash just now was enough to eliminate Dustin. There was no need to strike for the second time.This was how confident he was with his ability and his sword."What happened? Did it end already?" Seeing the furious Marco standing straight there, everyone exchanged confused glances.Everything happened way too fast just now. From Marco leaping into the air and drawing his sword to sheathing his sword, it happened in the blink of an eye.Before the crowd could react, the battle had ended."That's the rumored Jump Force, alright. He's way too quick!""That guy isn't dead, right? I don't see him moving!""I heard the corpse can still continue to move even if the head is cut off, provided that the sword reaches its peak speed.""Looks like he's dead. They should get ready to bury the corpse."The crowd whispered among themselves.
Without any warning, Dustin raised the branch and slapped Marco's face with it.Marco, who was chanting an incantation, was shocked. He widened his eyes and stood there at a loss. Meanwhile, there was a bloody mark on where the branch hit. The surrounding area of the bloody mark was instantly swollen."W-What?" Everyone was stunned by the sudden turn of events.Nobody expected Dustin to be fine from Marco's sword-cut technique, not to mention the former even hit his face."What happened? What exactly happened just now?""No way. Did that dude actually manage to dodge Jump Force?"Everyone exchanged glances and whispered suspiciously. When they saw Marco putting away his sword, they were sure that Dustin was dead. Their thoughts were confirmed when Marco kept chanting the word "Fall".However, Dustin wasn't injured at all despite Marco's chanting for so long. Dustin even managed to hit Marco's face. Everyone was taken aback by such a hilarious scene.Although the way Marco m
With a huge bang, the ground started to crack.A blood-red knife aura stemmed from the ground. Then, it headed straight toward Dustin while following the direction of the crack.Wherever the knife aura passed, a huge amount of debris shot out. Then, it rained toward Dustin like bullets.The intensity of the attack was like a relentless storm, overwhelming and unavoidable.Dustin sneered and stood his ground. With a light stomp, a semi-transparent true energy sphere formed out of mid-air and blocked before him like a shield.Debris from all directions hit the true energy sphere. However, it only created subtle ripples and didn't break the energy sphere.Meanwhile, the blood-red knife aura forcefully slashed toward Dustin's protective sphere.An explosion sounded.The protective sphere trembled, and ripples emanated from the point of impact."What? He managed to block it?" The butler was stunned.Although Dragon Flash was not as fast as the sword-cut technique, it was way more
When Marco summoned the ultimate attack, nine ferocious blood-red knife aura shot toward Dustin from all directions.The attack was unstoppable and overwhelming!"How petty!" Dustin sneered. Without dodging, he waved the tree branch in his hand.Using the same movements, Dustin slashed toward Marco nine times. Instantly, nine white sword aura popped out. Then, it collided head-on with the nine blood-red knife auras Marco summoned.When the sword aura collided with the knife aura, an explosion sounded. Two different kinds of energy collided using the same attacking method.As the white and red lights flickered, a powerful shockwave spread toward the surroundings from the point of impact like a tidal wave.Wave after wave appeared, with one overpowering the next.In an instant, dust and debris filled the air within a radius of 300 feet.All the onlookers were blown back, unable to open their eyes. Some weaker martial artists turned pale from the impact, feeling unwell."You're d
While beating Marco, Dustin questioned, "You like cursing, right? How about your Jump Force and Nine-Headed Dragon Flash? "Aren't you Luca's distinguished mentee? How dare you call us eastern scoundrels and open challenges at Sacred Wrym Summit?" Dustin's hits got quicker and faster. With every strike, he would ask a question.The once proud Marco found himself whipped and battered from the tree branch, screaming in agony.In the end, he rolled around on the ground from how painful the hits were. He no longer cared about his image.The crowd went silent after seeing Marco being beaten up. There were no other sounds except for the sound of the tree branch whipping Marco.Everyone was taken aback by what was unfolding before them. The onlooker stood there with their mouths agape in disbelief.Some even questioned their own eyes. They kept rubbing their eyes to make sure they were seeing clearly.The butler was especially stunned. He stood frozen in place, not knowing what to do
"Crystal… Is the person rolling on the ground actually the brat?" Ruby widened her eyes as she looked at the unbelievable scene.At this moment, Dustin was still whipping Marco continuously. The duo seemed funny yet absurd."It… It should be." Crystal looked carefully before nodding.She never expected Dustin to win, not to mention winning by a landslide. She found it hard to believe that Luca's mentee, an ace in Jump Force, was being to a pulp. "What the heck! This is seriously shocking. How is he so capable?" Miles gulped, looking stunned.Those who had never fought Marco before didn't know how capable he was.Even if Miles tried his best, he was still defeated by Marco in a strike. Not only him, but even Vincent, was not even close to beating Marco. Marco didn't even go all out when dealing with the both of them.On the contrary, Marco unleashed all his deadly moves when battling Dustin. The former even used Jump Force's ultimate technique.However, Marco still lost despite
