The night passed quickly.The following day, all the members of the Kirin Gang were dressed in mourning suits. They stood at the entrance to the House of Heroes.The House of Heroes was where they kept the ashes of the Kirin Gang members.All disciples who died in the line of duty were regarded as heroes. They would then be kept in the House of Heroes for others to visit.One reason was to cherish their memory; the other was to serve as a warning.The Kirin Gang would care for the friends and family of those who make it to the House of Heroes. Their family would receive timely financial support to help with living costs.This way, the Kirin Gang members wouldn't have to worry about their families if they pass away one day.Dustin stood at the entrance of the House of Heroes. He held two human heads dripping with blood and walked to the memorial plaque in the middle of the room.The words, "In memory of Nelson Horst, guildmaster of the Flame Dragon Guild," were engraved on it.

The woman's eyes widened. Knowing she was in trouble, she used her sword to block.The white beam hit the blade, forcing the woman backward. She almost tripped and fell.Blood dripped from her mouth. The hand that was gripping the sword was numb. She couldn't move."Who are you? Why are you stopping me?!" The woman frowned with a dark expression.She didn't know such a skilled martial artist would be hiding in this lowly Kirin Gang."I'll kill you for trying to assassinate our gang leader!" Cornelius was about to attack again when Dustin stopped him. "Young lady, who are you? Why did you try to kill me when you got here?""You killed my brother! I'm here to take revenge!" the woman said indignantly."Your brother? Are you from the Killian family?" Dustin's eyes flashed coldly."The Killian family? My name is Horst, Nikki Horst!" the woman shouted."Nikki Horst? Then your brother must be …" Dustin's eyebrows knitted."My brother is Nelson Horst!" Nikki's words shocked the au

"If you don't stab me today, you won't get the chance again," Dustin reminded Nikki.As he spoke, he slowly pulled out the sword in his abdomen and tossed it back to her."Hmph! I don't need you to tell me what to do! I'm here to say goodbye to my brother, so I'll let you live to see another day. When I'm in a bad mood again, I'll come to end your life!"Nikki elbowed past Dustin and stormed toward the House of Heroes."Sir Rhys, why didn't you dodge just now? That woman is horrible. What if you got hurt?" Cornelius was very concerned. "I owe her that." Dustin shook his head while looking serious.Every time he remembered Nelson's horrible death, he felt remorse and guilt.At least he felt slightly better after that stab."Sir Rhys, let's bandage your wound." Cornelius sighed softly. Then, he waved a disciple over and asked him to treat Dustin's injury.As the gang leader, Dustin was deeply caring and loyal. Of course, that was a good thing.But to become a hero and lead the

There was only one possibility. Nikki and her group must have arrived in the Southern province much earlier."You guessed it right. I have come to Balerno for an important matter." Nikki didn't deny it and started to glance around the area."You have a nice, spacious place here. The Jade Maiden Sisterhood needs a place to stay for the time being. Do you mind if we stay here?""We do have plenty of space. You can settle down here if you want. I'll have someone make arrangements," Dustin agreed readily. He wondered if guilt made him feel obligated to agree to all her requests. "Hmph! Smart move!" Nikki nodded in satisfaction and took out a red pill. She told him, "Here, this is Haemotrol. It not only helps you recover, but it also boosts your internal energy and cultivation. Since you got injured, it should help.""Thanks." Dustin flashed her a weak smile. He could tell Nikki wasn't a bad person. "No problem. Consider it payment for accommodations." Nikki then took out her ph

"Excuse me, miss. Please get your facts straight. This is my territory. I'm the one giving out orders here." Dustin pushed Brittany's sword away with a finger. He demanded stoically, "You can only stay if I say so. If I don't allow it, then you need to leave. Understand?""How dare you? You dare refuse us?" Brittany glared at Dustin."I'm the Jade Maiden Sisterhood's lead disciple. I'm a goddess everyone looks up to! Do you know how many outstanding men line up to impress me every day? I'm giving you a chance. Don't be ungrateful."Because of her status, men fawned over her everywhere she went. Nobody dared to go against her will. "I'm sorry, I'm not like your fanboys. I'm not interested in you at all. Please don't think so highly of yourself," Dustin responded impassively."You—!" Brittany seethed in anger. It was the first time a man was not fawning over her beauty. How dare he ignore her?"Hey, I'm warning you! Nobody has ever rejected Brittany's request! You better not m

"Please leave if you don't believe me." Dustin's patience had run thin, and he drove them out. This woman's narcissism was beyond his tolerance. "Still playing hard to get? You're so childish." Brittany scoffed, shaking her head. "Fine, I'll play with you since you want to play. Hopefully, you won't regret it. Let's go!" Brittany walked out while she spoke. "Hmph, Brittany gave you a chance, but you didn't appreciate it. She's angry now, and it's too late to do anything!""If you had any sense, you'd apologize to her immediately. She still might consider forgiving you."The Jade Maiden Sisterhood disciples observed the situation as if watching a melodrama. They were expecting Dustin to be sobbing regretfully soon. However, the more they laughed, the more they sensed something was amiss. Dustin remained unusually calm. Even when Brittany had left the meeting room, he still hadn't shown any reaction. It was as if he didn't care. "Hey! I'm really leaving!" Brittany stopped b
An Understated Dominance Chapter 858
"What?" Dustin's words left the Jade Maiden Sisterhood disciples dumbfounded. They had expected Dustin to be begging them to stay and crying regretfully. But, goodbye? That shouldn't be a part of his script!"Dustin, what are you doing? Are you provoking Brittany on purpose?" Nikki glared at him. She had asked him to make her stay, not send her out!"Y—you're too much!" Brittany was livid after coming to her senses. Right now, she couldn't care less about maintaining her goddess-like demeanor. She took out her sword instantly, ready to kill. When has she ever been treated like this? It was humiliating!"What are you guys doing?" Just then, an authoritative voice rang out. Everyone saw a 30 to 40-year-old woman dressed like royalty walk in. An elderly woman accompanied her. The middle-aged woman had a curvy figure and exuded charm. Her gaze was sharp and full of pride. She appeared like someone who kept people at a distance. On the other hand, the elderly woman behin

Brittany snorted and followed the group inside."What a bunch of lunatics." Dustin shook his head as he mumbled to himself. He finally realized where Brittany's confidence came from. How could their disciples be any better if they had such an arrogant leader? "Well, my teacher has a cold personality. Please don't take it to heart." Brittany was feeling awkward."Forget about it. I'd rather not argue with women." Dustin waved his hand dismissively. He would have driven them out much earlier if it wasn't for Nikki. He was indebted to Nelson and could only repay him by helping his family. "Thank god." Nikki breathed a sigh of relief before changing the subject. She asked, "By the way, I want to ask you something. Since you're the boss here, have you ever heard of the Jade Maiden Scripture?""Jade Maiden Scripture? What's that?" Dustin's brows furrowed."The Jade Maiden Scripture is the Jade Maiden Sisterhood's long-lost treasure. "Madam Edith hasn't been able to break thro

It would spark a fierce battle for dominance."Dr. Rhys! Good luck!"

"H-Hold on! I-I surrender!" Abigail said urgently. With the sword inches away from her throat, she decisively raised both hands in a gesture of surrender.She didn't expect herself to win the match. Her goal was simply to take this opportunity to test Dustin's strength and also gauge her own progress. But now, it was clear that there was still a sizable gap between them."You've done well. In a few more years, I might not even be able to keep up with you." Dustin smiled and lowered his Celestial Blade. His words weren't flattery; he genuinely saw potential in Abigail.The dark Phoenix flames carried a corrosive power that even his mystical pure energy couldn't resist. In other words, Abigail's black flames were the bane of any martial artist.Her journey in the martial world was still short—barely two years. She hadn't unlocked the full potential of her Phoenix bloodline yet. But with more training and experience, the sky was the limit for her."Don't try to console me, Sir. I'm n

With a resounding bang, the golden light erupted with a burst of terrifying energy wave. In an instant, the earth trembled, and fierce winds whipped through the air.Dustin and his sword were sent flying several yards. After landing, he stumbled back several steps before finally steadying himself.He looked up and saw that Abigail's body was now covered in a layer of golden armor, though he couldn't tell when it had happened. The armor glowed brightly, and it made her look imposing and striking.It was clearly a divine artifact.The Mystic Arts Order had been around for centuries, with deep roots and countless treasures. As the Grand Sorceress, Abigail would obviously have several divine artifacts for protection.Dustin wasn't surprised, but the armor's counterforce caught him off guard. Not only did it protect her, but it also had offensive capabilities.When his sword struck the armor earlier, the blow didn't leave a scratch. Instead, the armor absorbed the hit and sent the for

Dustin raised his hand as the black feathers rained down on him. A white energy shield flared into existence to form a wall before him.The feathers slammed into the shield and sent ripples across its surface but failed to break through. However, the black flames on the feathers spread across the shield and burned through its energy at a visible pace. In the blink of an eye, the once impenetrable barrier cracked open and left a gaping hole.Dustin couldn't hide his surprise. His mystical pure energy was far stronger than the average grandmaster's internal energy in offense and defense. It was meant to be impenetrable. He hadn't anticipated it couldn't hold up against Abigail's phoenix flame.Seeing the raw strength of her bloodline, he knew he couldn't afford to take any chances. As the black flames spread, he swiftly waved his hand to summon a furious gust of wind that sent the feathers and flames flying."Glaring Wings!" Abigail wasn't done yet. She quickly formed hand seals and

Abigail moved with lightning speed, and her figure weaved in and out like a shadow. Her swift movements left a blur of afterimages that was hard for anyone watching to keep up.On the contrary, Dustin stood still without making any movement."Fallen Fist!"After closing in, she unleashed a flurry of strikes—dozens of black palm shadows slamming toward his body, and each one was like a bullet aimed at its target.Abigail practiced a unique martial art, and it was imbued with voodoo-like properties that could kill anyone who made contact with her. But Dustin's body was immune to all poisons, so it was a perfect counter to her deadly attack.As the shadow palms closed in, he remained unshaken and thrust his palm forward.A fierce gust of wind surged and ripped through the air with unrelenting force. It collided with the black palm shadows.Abigail's black palm shadows exploded on impact and disintegrated into thick clouds of dark mist that quickly spread. Within moments, the mist e

The whole arena suddenly fell dead silent. Everyone stared blankly, and not a soul dared to breathe. Alloy shot to his feet in the main spectator seats, and his face was tense with worry. Yet, he didn't dare make a sound. He feared it might startle Glenn into making a mistake that could cost Fenley's life.After all, Fenley represented the future of the Celestial Alliance. Alloy had invested all his effort into Fenley, and he provided him with endless resources. If Fenley were to die in the match, it would deal a devastating blow to the entire guild.While Alloy was gripped with worry, Cyrus and Penelope cheered silently. They secretly hoped Glenn's sword would strike Fenley. If that happened, the Celestial Alliance would take at least a decade to regain its former glory.Fenley's body stiffened as he stared at the Fang Master hovering inches from him. A shiver ran through his spine as goosebumps prickled his skin. Sweat trickled down his face, and each drop hit the ground with a

"Glenn had only seven swords in the past. I didn't expect that in just one year, two more divine swords would recognize him as their master. This punk is much better than I was back then," Cyrus remarked. He stroked his chin with a look of surprise and approval. He had always believed in Glenn's potential, but Glenn's performance had still exceeded his expectations.After all, the more swords Glenn wielded, the stronger he became. He had already topped the Legendary List with just seven swords. Now, with nine, his strength had grown even more overwhelming."He truly is the Chosen One." Even Kaden couldn't help but sigh.The nine divine swords recognized their master and responded with ease. Glenn's talent and cultivation were leagues ahead of his peers.Every generation brought forth new talent, and the old had no choice but to step aside for the new generation. Compared to their time, today's youth were on another level—monsters in their own right."Now, this is going to be int

Compared to the second green sword, Glenn's third sword was even more powerful. As it descended, accompanied by the fury of a fire dragon, it carried the destructive force of a world-shattering storm.Fenley, whose energy flow was disrupted earlier, watched the fiery red long sword streak toward like a falling meteor. His heart raced and was gripped by a sudden sense of impending doom.With a roar, he risked the backlash effect and unleashed a powerful surge of internal energy. The ethereal divine spirit behind him instantly transformed into a figure with three heads and six arms. This was the complete form of the Four Elements of God's Technique.At that instant, he threw everything he had into the fight. He controlled the spirit to slam its giant arms into the flaming sword. With a loud explosion, the sword tore through the spirit's palms and continued its unyielding path toward Fenley. But its speed had slowed slightly.Without hesitation, he controlled the spirit to strike ag

When the spectators heard the match was about to begin, the excitement reached a fever pitch. Half of them cheered for Fenley while the other half chanted Glenn's name. Both were the Chosen Ones, and their popularity was undeniable. Everyone had been waiting for their face-off in the battle ring.Though Fenley ranked slightly below Glenn on the Legendary List, his fame and influence as the successor to the Celestial Alliance's guildmaster outshined Glenn's. Ultimately, the question of who was stronger could only be answered in the ring."I've been waiting for this day, Glenn." Fenley stared at him intently. His voice was powerful and commanding. He continued, "Others say I'm not your equal, but I refuse to believe it. Today, we'll find out whether your sword is faster or if my Four Elements of God's Technique is superior.""The moment you said that, you've already lost. Your doubt shows you lack the confidence to defeat me," Glenn replied calmly. If this were a fight-to-the-deat
