An Understated Dominance Chapter 1200
Ronald leaped up high and suspended himself in the air. Under the sunlight, the golden armor that he wore gleamed brilliantly. It caught everyone's attention. "I call this swordplay the Ethereal Slash. I learned it during my three years spent in seclusion. Until today, I have never displayed it in front of others. "It will be your greatest honor today to die by this technique!"Now, watch me!" Ronald's golden sword suddenly shook. He then transformed into a golden streak of light and descended rapidly. His momentum was tremendous, destroying everything in its path. "How fast! What a terrifying swordplay!""Oh my goodness! Is this divine retribution? It's so frightening!""No one can withstand this strike of his when unleashed. At least the young grandmaster will die an honorable death!" Ronald's astounding swordplay sent shockwaves throughout the arena. The martial artists were left in awe. That golden streak of light was as radiant as the sun and left people utterly def
An Understated Dominance Chapter 1201
"Im-Impossible!" Ronald's eyes widened in disbelief as he gazed at his injured body. He never could have imagined that he would be defeated so badly. After all, he had the power of the Infinite Aura Technique and the Ethereal Slash assisting him. Why? Why did it turn out like this? That was his strongest move!Nobody was able to defend against his move, let alone launch a counterattack, in the whole of Balerno! He was supposed to be unparalleled! How? How did Dustin manage to defeat him? Ronald's body trembled, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. Then, his knees gave way. He knelt on the ground, his face ashen. Dustin's terrifying slash had not only severed his arm but a lot of his circulatory pathways were also damaged. At that moment, Ronald's body was in ruins. He had no strength left to continue the fight. Ronald fell to the ground, severely injured. The entire arena fell into a deathly silence. It was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. Everyone was stunne
An Understated Dominance Chapter 1202
However, at that moment, that mountain had collapsed. Ronald's legend and glory were completely shattered. "He won! Dustin won! That's amazing!" After being momentarily stunned, Lyn cheered. "As expected of the man I've set my eyes on. He's truly unparalleled!" Josie was thrilled and excited. Her face began to redden.Although she wasn't sure what happened, she was certain Dustin had won. And brilliantly at that! In front of thousands of people, he had defeated the martial arts alliance leader. The one and only Ronald Reeds. From that moment on, he had successfully made a name for himself. He would stand uncontested, leaving everyone in the dust. "Excellent! What a magnificent victory!" Even the shrewd Emery couldn't help applauding the win. Ronald had suppressed him for a whole decade. With Dustin's unexpected victory and a severely injured Ronald's fall from grace, it was a joyous occasion. Finally, he could seize this opportunity to assume the position of alliance

"Stop!" Just as Dustin was about to kill Ronald, a booming voice yelled. At the same time, an arrow shot out at an incredible speed, carrying tremendous force. With a loud clang, it accurately struck against the Celestial Sword."Hmm?" Dustin's body quivered, stopping his actions. At the same time, he cast a cold gaze below stage. Unbeknownst to him, Woody had already stood up, holding a powerful bow in his hand. He had fired that arrow. "Sir Bolts, what do you mean by this?" Dustin frowned slightly. "Dustin, you have won. Don't overdo it."Woody's expression was cold. "Don't be so eager to burn bridges and make things difficult lest it backfires!""Sir Bolts, our duel was a fight to the death. Only one can emerge alive in the battle ring. That is the rule of the martial world," Dustin said coldly. "The Martial Arts Union establishes the rules of the martial world. I hold the highest position here and wield the ultimate authority!" Woody's tone was extremely overbearing.

If Ronald died, Theodore would probably be next. "Hmph! With the union backing Ronald, what can that brat do? Even if he's powerful, he still has to listen to orders obediently." Quincey grinned widely. He had believed the Reeds family was on the verge of ruins moments ago. Thankfully, Woody had intervened just in time to save the situation. "What a shame. I was almost there." Emery sighed, shaking his head in regret. Today would have been perfect if Woody hadn't turned the situation around."As expected of the Martial Arts Union. They were able to intimidate Dustin with just a few words." "Haha … Even the most formidable figures had to bow down to the union!" Many of the martial artists in the audience breathed a sigh of relief. Although they couldn't accept Ronald's defeat, the current outcome was far from disastrous. After all, Ronald was safe now. Nobody would be that foolish to go against the union. "Dustin, I must admit that you are strong and skilled. Unfortunat
An Understated Dominance Chapter 1205
With all eyes on him, Dustin suddenly lifted his blade and cut Ronald's head off.Everything had happened without warning, and he did it without any hesitation.With the slashing of his blade, one of the greatest leaders in the martial world was slain. He had been one of the best martial artists in the Balerno martial world! Dustin's actions were so swift that Ronald's head was already at his feet while he remained standing.His expression was one of shock, fear, and, for the most part, disbelief.Even until death, Ronald did not expect Dustin to dare cross the Martial Arts Union. To kill a person was a serious violation of their regulations."He … He really killed him? Am I mistaken?""Mad! He's gone utterly mad! How dare he commit murder when the head of the Martial Arts Union is present? That's outrageous!""How brutal! He's trading life for life!""In all my years, I've never seen anyone challenge the Martial Arts Union like him! The brat is so ignorant that he doesn't fe

More and more guilds joined in on the mission to kill Dustin.At a glance, the place was jam-packed with people. The arena was so tightly surrounded that there was no way out.In an instant, Dustin became the enemy of the entire martial world. He was now a villain that everyone was out to get rid of.Ronald had been the leader of the Balerno martial arts alliance for many years. He was well-received and respected by all, with a strong following that rallied behind his every call. Now that he'd been murdered, it was a given that they'd all be angered.But of course, the most important reason behind their agitation was that the Martial Arts Union had now declared Dustin a criminal.No matter what, Dustin would have to pay for what he had done. That was how things were in the martial world."Dustin! You have ignored our laws and committed a heinous crime! Surrender immediately and follow me to receive your punishment! "If you do not, you shall be killed on the spot!" Woody roare
An Understated Dominance Chapter 1207
Dustin stood on the stage with his sword in hand. He alone was enough to intimidate all the other martial artists. They all stood around hesitantly, not daring to be the first ones to make a move.But such a reaction from them angered Woody to no end."Hey! What are you all afraid of? Powerful as he may be, he's just one person!"If you all attacked at once, you can easily slash him into pieces!"Seeing that he failed to stir a reaction among them, Woody turned his attention to the leaders of the various guilds. He started calling them out one by one, "Sir Crane, Sir Williams, Father Orson, Sir Rosen, and Sir Bilmet."As leaders of the martial arts scene, you should stand up and be role models for the rest. Lead your disciples and get rid of the criminal!""Uh …" When they heard what Woody said, Theodore and the rest looked around awkwardly.They could hype others up and support the Martial Arts Union verbally. But they'd think twice about putting their lives on the line an

"Your Royal Highness, it's an honor to have you here," Jonathan said.Upon seeing the distinguished guest arrive, he quickly pulled himself together and aside his grief. He led his family to greet Tristan, and they bowed in respect.Before they could finish the gesture, Tristan raised a hand to stop them. "No need for such formalities," he said. "The deceased deserves our respect."He turned to Jovian's portrait, which was displayed in the mourning hall, and sighed deeply.Tristan continued, "Mr. Jovian's untimely passing is truly a great loss to Dragonmarsh. May his soul rest in peace. My condolences to your family during this difficult time."Jonathan's eyes were filled with tears as he bowed his head slightly. "Thank you, Your Highness, for your kind words. My family is heartbroken over my brother's tragic death."Tristan nodded slightly. His gaze quickly swept across the hall before asking, "I've heard that Duke Lachshire fainted from grief. How is he doing now?"Jonathan

The unrest in West Lucozia finally ended with the capture of Warrick.Every official who was his accomplice was thoroughly investigated. Those who needed to be arrested were taken into custody, and those who deserved to be punished were executed.After the purge, more than 300 officials in West Lucozia were removed from their posts. Those guilty were arrested, and those whose crimes were severe were executed.Under Austin's iron-fisted reforms, West Lucozia's government underwent a complete overhaul. Corruption, bribery, and the tangled web of illegal deals were swept away like dust in the wind.The citizens quickly noticed the difference. When they visited government offices, they no longer faced delays, refusals, or demands for bribes.Long-neglected public issues began to move forward, thanks to the organized efforts of newly appointed officials. Things were improving across the board.Instead of fearing the crackdown, the citizens welcomed it. The corrupt officials who had dr

Austin's expression also turned serious as he saw the doubt in Dustin's eyes. He knew Dustin wouldn't worry over nothing.There were many strange beings in Streuqua, including vampires, werewolves, and the like. These supernatural species were notoriously hard to kill. Even after being decapitated, they weren't necessarily dead.Austin wasn't sure if Poseidon had that kind of ability. After all, the Hall of Gods and its so-called royal gods were still a mystery to most people in West Lucozia.To play it safe, they needed to recover Poisedon's head for their own peace of mind.Out on the water, Jaxon led a team of soldiers and ship crews to comb the sea in search of Poisedon's severed head.At the docks, all eyes turned to Warrick, Mulder, and the others. They had been tied up and were now being dragged before Dustin and Austin one by one.Warrick looked pale, but there was a certain defiance in his eyes. He knew his fate was sealed. After Dustin killed Poseidon, Warrick knew his

Moments later, the once-turbulent sea finally calmed. All that remained was a dense cloud of steam. Like a giant beast, it slowly drifted across the water, as if telling the tale of the heart-pounding battle that had just taken place.Dustin stood on the surface of the sea with the Celestial Blade in hand. His face was grim as he looked ahead. His clothes were torn, and his body was covered in cuts and bruises. Blood streamed from his wounds and dyed the water beneath him red.Suddenly, a headless corpse floated to the surface. Covered in blue scales, it had torn, ragged wings on its back. The body was riddled with gaping wounds as the dark blue blood seeping from it dissipated into the water.The body belonged to Poseidon."H-He's dead? How is that possible?"Looking at the headless corpse floating on the sea, Warrick and the others couldn't help but stare in shock. They never imagined Dustin could slay one of the world's mightiest royal gods with a single blow. If they hadn'

Poseidon slowly rose from the seawater, his wound now fully healed. A flicker of madness flashed in his eyes. The severe injury he just sustained not only failed to make him retreat but instead ignited an even stronger fighting spirit within him.He sneered. "Logan, you've surprised me. But you're still going to die today."Poseidon spun his trident wildly, and the already turbulent sea grew even more violent. The waters swirled around him and formed a massive vortex. It expanded rapidly and soon reached nearly 1,000 feet wide. The surrounding waters were sucked in with terrifying force.The suction was so powerful that even Warrick, Mulder, and the others, watching from a distance, had to brace themselves to avoid being pulled in."Hmm?"Dustin frowned as he felt an overwhelming pressure closing in. The force of the swirling vortex before him was terrifying, as if it could swallow everything in its path. But he didn't flinch. In a flash, he launched forward like a streak of

Poseidon scoffed. "You're so full of yourself." The surrounding seawater surged violently. It transformed into countless razor-sharp water spikes and whistled toward Dustin. The deadly edges glinted under the sunlight. Like a silver rainstorm, the barrage swallowed every inch of space around him.Dustin's sharp gaze locked onto the incoming strikes. With a light swing of the Celestial Blade, a streak of black sword aura shot out. Every water spike in its path shattered into mist and rained down in a cascade of droplets.However, Poseidon refused to relent. His attacks came in endless waves, an unbroken torrent.He gripped his trident with both hands and spun it, creating several blue energy rings. Each one expanded rapidly and surged toward Dustin like crashing waves.Dustin's figure flickered and vanished from his spot. The next second, he reappeared just outside the energy rings.Hovering in midair, he spun at incredible speed. The Celestial Blade in his hand turned into a b

"Logan, I have to admit that you're stronger than I thought. I never expected you'd push me this far," Poseidon said.His arms slowly spread wide, and his blue eyes glowed with murderous intent. "As a mark of respect, I will give it everything I've got. You'll witness the true extent of my power."With a flick of his hand, he made a grabbing gesture. His trident, which had fallen to the bottom of the sea, shot back up through the water and landed firmly in his grasp.Compared to his earlier arrogance, Poseidon now stood with a newfound seriousness. It wasn't just Dustin's strength that had him on edge but his terrifying potential.At only 20, Dustin already possessed this level of strength. If he continued to grow, he would become a serious threat to the Hall of Gods. Hence, Poseidon resolved to eliminate him today."Watch closely," he said.Poseidon slowly raised his trident and gripped it like a javelin. While channeling his energy into the weapon, it pulsed with an intense blu

Dustin was Dragonmarsh's elite prodigy, while Poseidon was the famous royal god of the Hall of Gods.Every move they exchanged unleashed destructive power. Within moments, the area within a 300-foot radius was reduced to wreckage.Dustin wielded his true energy-infused longsword. Each swing unleashed a blinding flare of light as if it could split the sky apart with the Celestial Blade.On the contrary, Poseidon's trident commanded the winds and rains. Each strike could summon huge rolling waves as if he were a god reigning over the forces of nature.Sword aura clashed against walls of water and plunged the entire area into chaos.Warrick and the others watched with rapt attention. Their eyes were locked on the battle ahead as they tried to make sense of the chaos.But Dustin and Poseidon were moving so fast that their actions were almost impossible to follow. Their movements blurred together, and they could only catch flashes of two figures constantly clashing. Their strikes ca

"Let me correct you," Dustin said.As his hand slowly tightened into a fist, a white longsword formed from his true energy. "In Dragonmarsh, there is no 'God. ' We only have the Lord of the Dead."The moment the words left his mouth, a tempest of sword aura exploded outward. Within a radius of several dozen yards, the winds howled, sand and stones were sent flying, and the waves along the shore grew even more violent."Such overwhelming pressure. That sword aura is insane. Is this Logan's actual strength?"Feeling the surge of energy, Warrick and the others couldn't help but turn pale. It was then they realized that Dustin hadn't been fighting seriously before. Or perhaps, with their strength, they hadn't even earned the right to make him fight for real. They figured only someone of Poseidon's caliber could force Dustin to go all out."Interesting… truly fascinating." Poseidon suddenly laughed. "I thought you were just a pup, but it turns out you're a hungry wolf. Now, this is s
