Georgia and Bridget were furious. They were about to launch another attack when Scarlet raised a hand to stop them.

"You're no match for him. Let me handle it." Scarlet stood up slowly. She swept a cold gaze across the room.

A chill was sent down the laughing crowd's spine, and they turned silent. For some reason, they felt like death was staring them in the eye.

"Oh, I didn't expect to see such a gorgeous woman here. I'm in luck."

Joel's eyes lit up in delight upon seeing Scarlet. His lips curled up into a sly smile.

"It seems like you people look down on women." Scarlet said impassively, "I'll give you a chance. If you can defend against three moves of mine, I'll let you go alive."

"You'll let us go alive?"

The group was momentarily stunned. Then, they howled in laughter.

"Hey, girl, I think you haven't realized the situation yet. You're at our mercy, not the other way around!"

"You're pretty but pretty dumb."

"Hey, beautiful. If I manage to defend against three of yo

    "Let him go, or die!" Seeing Dustin held hostage made Scarlet see red. The temperature seemed to drop a few degrees. Even the lights started flickering. The Zen Order disciples who were on the ground shivered in fear.Scarlet had only intended to teach them a lesson, but she was now filled with murderous intent. Dustin was her boundary, and anyone who dared to cross that line would face her wrath, no matter where they might try to hide in the world. "I'm warning you! Don't make any sudden movements, or I'll kill him!" Joel threatened. He never expected Scarlet to be so strong. He knew he wasn't a match for her. His only chance was to use the hostage in front of him to turn the situation around."If you release him now, I won't kill you. But if you lay a finger on him, I'll destroy your entire guild!" Scarlet threatened coldly."Cut the crap! We're in control now!" Joel glared at her. "I order you to step back!"Scarlet took a deep breath, trying to suppress her anger, b

    "Y-You … How dare you humiliate me?" Joel erupted in fury. "I might not be stronger than her, but I'm surely stronger than you!" He shouted, "I'm going to show you the Heavenly Immortals' terrifying power! Die!" Joel aimed his palm at Dustin's back. "No!" The three women's expressions shifted, but they couldn't stop Joel in time. They could only watch helplessly as the forceful strike hit Dustin's back. A resounding explosion echoed through the room. However, Dustin remained seated, completely unaffected. Instead, Joel was sent flying backward like a rocket. He crashed through the windows and plummeted from the second floor, landing right by Daniel's feet. "Joel?" The group was shocked to see him fall and quickly helped him to his feet. Didn't he say he was going to hold them off? Why did he end up sprawled at their feet?"Are you okay?" Daniel asked.Joel spat out a mouthful of blood on Daniel's face, as if mocking him for even asking. He then pointed a trembling f

    Meanwhile, back at Full Moon, Joel flying away had everyone looking dumbstruck. Joel was a senior in the Zen Order. He was also a strong fighter on the Heavenly Immortals. Someone like him could split rocks open with just a palm of his hand. Under normal circumstances, Dustin would have been seriously injured or even killed by his attack. However, the situation was reversed instead. What exactly happened? "Dustin, are you alright?" Scarlet rushed forward after a momentary daze. She took a good look at him."I told you, that childish brat can't hurt me. There was no need to worry." Dustin smiled."You scared me. I thought …" Scarlet didn't continue. She seemed afraid of offending him.Georgia stared at him in disbelief. "How are you so strong?" She was aware of Joel's skills. She and Bridget weren't his match. If Scarlet didn't get involved, they wouldn't have been able to take him down. They were certain that Dustin was as good as dead earlier. They didn't expect such a

    "As long as you have time, you can join." Dustin smiled and nodded."That's great!" Scarlet's face lit up with joy.Obviously, she wanted to join, not to watch the tournament, but to spend more time with Dustin. She didn't know how much longer she could stay with him. … The following day, Dustin met up with Scarlet and the others. Together, they went to the martial arts alliance branch. It was located on the edge of the city. A single large building was its base, boasting modernized facilities. The martial arts alliance had two major sources of income. One was charging new students high tuition fees. The other was to put up commissions and take a percentage of the rewards. In this world, wealthy and high-ranking officials frequently needed protection from martial artists. The alliance became the top place to seek protection. They had a lot of expert fighters available. The rewards were also generous. So, plenty of martial artists were eager to accept the tasks. After

    "Hey! Where are your manners? How can you all just cut in line like that?" A young martial artist who was pushed aside immediately expressed his dissatisfaction. He had waited in line for a long time. Naturally, he was unhappy to be just cut in line like that. "Why not?" With a cold smirk, a chubby woman slapped the young martial artist. She declared, "I can because I'm capable!" Her arrogant and overbearing attitude would make anyone furious. "You … How dare you slap me?" The young martial artist was stunned. Then, his anger flared. "You bitch! Take this!" He raised a fist, ready to attack. But before he could hit the woman, a muscular man quickly stood in front of her. He blocked his attack. With a loud thud, the forceful punch from the young martial artist landed solidly on the muscular man's chest. The muscular man remained completely unfazed. However, the force of that punch sent the young martial artist stumbling back. His arm hurt from the impact. He felt as

    "Hah! Guess you won't cry till you see death in the eyes!" Gianna glared at the young martial artist. She said haughtily, "Devon, since this guy won't respect us, let's teach him a lesson!""Alright!" With a smirk, Devon stepped forward. He lifted the young martial artist off the ground and above his head. "Let me go!" The young martial artist struggled wildly, but it was in vain. Compared to the muscular Devon, he seemed like a weak chick. He was absolutely powerless."Don't want to give in? Well, I'll make sure you will with my fists!"Devon held the young martial artist tightly with both hands. He spun him around a few times before moving to slam him down forcefully. If the young martial artist was lucky, he would only sustain serious injuries the moment he hit the ground. "He's done for!" Many in the crowd looked on sympathetically. Just as the young martial artist was about to meet his end, a hand appeared and caught him gently. It skillfully neutralized the force o

    "Ahh!" Devon screamed in despair, seeing the sword coming at him. He never could have expected the charming woman to act so ruthlessly out of nowhere. It was evident she held absolutely no regard for Boulderthorn. "Stop!" "No!" The unexpected turn of events shocked the Boulderthorn disciples. However, it was too late for them to stop her."Don't kill him, kid," Dustin said just in time. There was a sharp whistle as Scarlet's blade stopped mere inches from Devon's throat. A thin line of blood formed as it grazed his skin. Had Dustin spoken out a second later, Devon would have been lying in a pool of his own blood. Devon gulped. His face turned pale. Cold sweat trickled down his forehead. The terror in his eyes never went away. He had very nearly met his end. Just where did this crazy bitch with such hatred come from? They weren't even enemies. It was scary. "Do that again, and I will send you to hell," Scarlet said icily. Devon shivered involuntarily. A wave o

    "Now, who is going first?" "Me!" Gianna approached the strength tester machine confidently. The strength tester machine was made from metal. It had a flexible punching pad right in the middle designed to absorb and measure the force of the strike. Upon delivering a punch, the display screen would present the amount of strength."Guys, I'll try it out for you first." Gianna took a deep breath before delivering a powerful punch, smashing the punching pad. With a heavy thud, the punching pad slammed into the tester machine. At the same time, the red digits on the display screen fluctuated rapidly and settled at 1250."No way! A woman punched 1250 pounds of force? That's stronger than me!" "She's impressive to hit those numbers without internal energy." Whispers and murmurs spread among the crowd, expressing their surprise. It was impressive to achieve those numbers as a young lady not older than 18. "See that? This is what I am capable of!" Gianna chuckled proudly. She eve

    While Dustin was away, Natasha couldn't help but worry about him. She would always keep an eye out for any news about him. But no matter how much she missed him, she wouldn't call him. She didn't want to distract or cause him to lose focus on the important matters concerning the nation's affairs. Understanding how busy he was, she kept her feelings in check and buried herself in work to keep her mind occupied.But when Natasha finally saw Dustin again, all the emotions she had bottled up came rushing out. Months of longing turned into overwhelming affection, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.Her assistant, Tanya, watched in shock. She had no idea Natasha—typically the poised, decisive, and commanding chairwoman—was in a relationship. What surprised her even more was how different Natasha seemed around Dustin. The usually unshakable "queen" now appeared soft and tender in his presence.Tanya couldn't help but watch Dustin more closely. His looks and charisma were u

    Dustin had boarded the plane back to Oakvale. His trip to Sacred Wrym Summit had been full of ups and downs. From the Combat Tournament to the invasion of the Hall of Gods, his journey had been perilous. Thankfully, the outcome was favorable. He had won the championship at the tournament, acquired three Dracan essences, and ultimately foiled the Hall of Gods' plan. In every way, the mission had been nearly flawless.After bidding farewell to his newfound allies, Dustin joined Grace on the return flight. Four of the five Dracan essences had already been gathered, leaving only one remaining. According to Grace, the last essence had been located, and the person holding it was in Oakvale. Though their identity was still unknown, she suspected it was most likely one of the three princes.With the position of heir to the throne still uncertain, the three princes were all eager to secure their power. Whoever obtained the Dracan essence would be blessed with fortune and have a higher c

    The chaos of the night quickly settled.By morning, as the first light of dawn broke across the horizon, Sacred Wrym Summit had regained its usual tranquility. Yet, the bloodstains across the ground and the wreckage of buildings stood as grim reminders of the previous night's violence.The military forces summoned by Grace had already taken the Hall of Gods' prisoners into custody.Rumors spread like wildfire, fueling gossip throughout the martial world as all the major guilds watched with keen interest. After all, very few in history had ever dared to challenge Sacred Wrym Summit, and a bold invasion aimed at destroying it was nothing short of unprecedented.The outcome was clear to all who bore witness. After many years, the world had come to recognize the true terror of Arion. He was no mere mortal—he was almost a godlike figure.…Inside the Hall of Gods' headquarters in Streuqua, the core members were gathered, seated in two rows on either side of the grand hall.On the thr

    After dealing with the Hall of Gods' elite fighters, Arion disappeared in a blur. When he reappeared, he was hovering above the forbidden ground of Sacred Wrym Summit.The scene at the entrance to the forbidden ground was one of utter carnage. Bodies lay strewn across the ground, and rivers of blood flowed freely. All members of the Hall of Gods, including Hank, lay motionless on the ground.Dustin and Willard, both covered in blood and exuding killing intent, had fought fiercely. After a long, grueling fight, they succeeded in defending the forbidden ground of Sacred Wrym Summit. They had thwarted the Hall of Gods' plan to destroy the Dracan force.At that instant, Dustin seemed to sense something and suddenly looked up. Through the mist and darkness, he pinpointed Arion's figure hovering above. Arion smiled faintly and nodded at Dustin before disappearing again.Crossing several mountains in mere seconds, Arion arrived above the Sacred Wrym Summit's grand hall. Below, the discipl

    When the dust finally settled, Arion was the only one left standing.Bailey, Willem, Anthony, Batuul, the three elite assassins from Eskus, and several gods from the Hall of Gods were either dead or gravely injured.Willem's body had been blasted into countless pieces. Each fragment wriggled on the ground as it struggled to piece together. Batuul fared even worse. He was utterly obliterated, leaving no trace behind, not even ashes. On the contrary, Bailey and the three Eskus assassins had both their arms severed and were gravely wounded. Though Anthony's limbs were still intact, his crushed internal organs left him coughing up blood. The backlash from the demonic blade had also taken a devastating toll on his body. He now appeared decades older, his face gaunt and hollow, his hair gray. His frail frame made him look like a man standing at death's door."H-How is this possible? No… this can't be happening!" Bailey's expression was a mixture of shock and disbelief as he stared a

    Arion's sudden appearance caught everyone off guard. They stared, wide-eyed and slack-jawed. What was going on? Wasn't Arion already dead? How could he be standing there in front of them? Could it be a ghost?They exchanged baffled looks, and their faces were filled with disbelief. They couldn't make sense of it. How could Arion possibly be alive? It was beyond their comprehension."You… you're not dead?" No one was more shocked than Willem. After all his effort, he had finally found the chance to bite into Arion's neck and drain every drop of his blood.He was certain Arion had died—there was no way he could have survived. But if Arion was dead, who was this person standing before them?"Everyone, calm down!" Bailey spoke up. "Arion's body is still over there. This person must be an imposter."At his words, everyone turned to look at the corpse lying nearby.Bailey was right. The body was still there, and there was no way Arion could still be alive. So, the person in front o

    As the Snow Maiden attacked, Batuul's illusory Elephantine stirred into action. With a mighty roar, it charged forward and slammed into Arion. Its tusks, sharp as spears, aimed directly at his chest.Caught in the swirling snow, Arion couldn't avoid the attack and quickly invoked the Glow Incantation to shield himself. The tusks collided with the barrier in a deafening crash. The impact sent Arion flying, and the golden light surrounding him shattered like glass. Clearly, the illusory Elephantine's strength had far exceeded the Glow Incantation's limits.As Arion was tossed into the air, the three-headed, six-armed Chimera Wrath seized its moment. With six different weapons in hand, it launched a relentless assault.Arion swung his sword to block but was driven further back with each blow. With no solid footing in midair, his agility was useless against the onslaught.After several exchanges, one of the Chimera's weapons struck Arion squarely in the chest, sending him crashing to

    After a prolonged battle, Anthony and the others finally realized the gravity of the situation.Arion wasn't just a sword master but also had unpredictable agility. No matter how they attacked, they couldn't even land a single hit. On top of that, his sword was a constant threat.If this deadlock continued, the situation would only worsen. So, when Bailey spoke, they knew it was time for decisive action, and there was no turning back. It was either kill or be killed.At that moment, Anthony, who had been holding back, finally decided to use his ultimate technique. He bit his finger and smeared the blood across his blade. His lips moved quickly as if whispering an incantation."Snow Maiden, arise!" As soon as the words left his mouth, he swung his sword. A white figure shot out and hovered in the air. It was a woman with fair skin and mesmerizing beauty. Her long hair cascaded like a waterfall, her dress was as white as snow, and her eyes had a sinister gleam.The moment she appe

    "How many tricks does this old geezer have?"The impact of the divine talisman explosion left everyone both shocked and enraged. No one had expected that Arion would still manage to unleash such a powerful supreme divine power even after the Glow Incantation was broken and the lightning strikes failed to cause any harm.The impact of the thousands of divine talismans exploding at once was terrifying. Only the strongest fighters—Willem, Bailey, and Batuul—could withstand it. The rest of the group was severely injured. At that moment, they finally realized the terrifying strength of Dragonmarsh's strongest man."Impressive," Willem said, landing smoothly after being thrown back. His withered skin was now covered in cracks, and blood oozed from it.Most of the shockwave from the explosion had hit him directly. Despite his impressive defense, he still took some damage. However, these injuries were nothing to him. His wounds had already healed within a few seconds, as if nothing had hap
