An Understated Dominance Chapter 900
Dustin stared at Nikki in disbelief from across the table. He couldn't believe that she had been the person who drugged them. "Why is it you?" Cornelius' widened eyes were full of dismay, confusion, and anger. He never imagined that the traitor would be Nikki, whom Dustin had treated so well. "I'm sorry … I'm sorry." Nikki looked away guiltily and kept her head down. "Why?" Dustin could only ask.Because of Nelson, Dustin treated Nikki like his sister and tried to do everything in her best interest. He even reigned in his temper in front of Jade Maiden Sisterhood just to free her, so he never imagined that she would betray him in return. "Jade Maiden Sisterhood is my home, and they are my family. I—I didn't have a choice. I'm sorry …" Nikki apologized as she repeatedly shook her head. She felt guilty toward Dustin but couldn't go against Edith and the Jade Maiden Sisterhood's wishes."I just don't get it. Why are you still so determined to stay when they mistreated you? J
An Understated Dominance Chapter 901
Nikki couldn't bear to see anger in Dustin and the others' eyes and wanted to leave. "There's no rush. The show's just begun," Edith sniggered. "This bastard insulted us and hurt Brittany. There's no way I will let him off so easily."Dustin knew too many secrets, including the Jade Maiden Scripture. Edith was determined to keep the information inside the scripture to herself. No one else could have it. So, she must kill Dustin. "Madam Edith, you promised me you wouldn't hurt him." Nikki suddenly felt uneasy. Although she had betrayed Dustin, she didn't want to see him hurt either. "Really? I don't remember promising that, though." Edith feigned ignorance. "Nikki, if blood makes you queasy, you can leave first. I won't blame you for that.""Madam Edith, you wanted the scripture and have it now. Please let him go!" Nikki begged, aware that Edith intended to kill Dustin. "Nikki, you should know that you're a Jade Maiden Sisterhood disciple, so you should only be thinkin
An Understated Dominance Chapter 902
Nikki staggered toward Dustin with her sword, feeling torn. However, her sword fell to the ground with a clang before she could reach him. "I—I can't do it! I just can't do it!" Nikki turned around and sobbed, guilt written all over her face. "You piece of shit!" Pissed, Edith slapped Nikki across the cheek, causing her to fall. "What use do I have of you when you can't even kill a man?""Madam Edith, she may be unable to do it, but I can!" Just then, Brittany emerged from the crowd, limping to the front. She shot Dustin a glare. It was bad enough that he hit her, but she couldn't stand him being unfazed by her beauty. "Good. This man is yours to kill." Edith nodded, pleased. As expected, no one made her as happy as Britanny. "I bet you never thought you'd end up like this, did you, Dustin?" Brittany sniggered. She drew her sword and limped toward him. "How dare a shitty, measly man like you defy me! I'll make sure to castrate you in front of everyone tonight!"If s

"You fucking asshole! How dare you hurt me! "You better fucking die! Madam Edith, kill him for me!" Brittany screeched."What? Didn't you drug him, Nikki?" Edith narrowed her eyes, displeased. Only someone stronger than a grandmaster could be unaffected by the drug she made. "I did. I put the drug in his wine," Nikki replied. She was confused as well. She watched Dustin drink the wine earlier, so why was he completely unaffected?"I was careless." Edith nodded and drew her sword. "You must be a genius if you've already achieved divinity. However, I love killing geniuses. You'll have the honor of being killed by me tonight.""I might not be the one who dies," Dustin responded calmly. "I shall give you a chance now. You can grovel for forgiveness, and I'll spare you life."The Jade Maiden Sisterhood disciples were surprised and burst out laughing. "Hey, are you crazy? Who the hell do you think you are? How could you say something so foolish?""Stupid man! Madam Edith i
An Understated Dominance Chapter 904
"Um …" Those from Jade Maiden Sisterhood were astonished as they stared at Edith. They couldn't believe that Edith, who was the head of the Jade Maiden Sisterhood, a semi-grandmaster, and one of the best sword arts martial artists, had been defeated by Dustin with a single move. There was no way this was real. "Madam Edith lost? H—how is that possible?""M—my eyes must be playing tricks on me. There's no way she would lose!""Why? How did things turn out this way?"There was an uproar as the disciples struggled to accept that their invincible leader had lost."Who … who are you?" Letitia was aghast.Although Edith had been injured, she was still much stronger than most. "You caused a ruckus in my territory, yet you ask who I am?" Dustin's expression was murderous. "That's impossible! You're no match for Madam Edith! You must have used one of your tricks!""How dare that shameless bastard use tricks on Madam Edith! He's disgusting!"Edith's disciples began yelling.

"This is for looking down on others."This is for breaking your promise."This is for being a shitty mentor."This is for being an ungrateful wench."A crisp slap accompanied each of Dustin's remarks.Edith's face was swollen beyond recognition when he was done. "Um …" The Jade Maiden Sisterhood disciples had been rendered silent. Fear was written all over their faces.They initially assumed Dustin must have used a dirty trick to defeat Edith. However, the sight before them made them realize how wrong they'd been. Although Dustin continued smacking Edith, none of her disciples tried to stop him since they knew they were no match for him. "Stop!"Edith was on the brink of death when Nikki ran forward and threw herself over Edith.With a determined look, she said, "You can hit me, but not Madam Edith!""What?" Dustin frowned and raised his hand. Suddenly, Nelson's face appeared in his mind. Dustin could only lower his hand. "I know I betrayed you, Dustin. But she's m

"Unreasonable? Oh, Nikki. You're more biased than I expected!" Dustin laughed out loud. "Why didn't you try to reason with Edith when she broke her word? Or when she stabbed me in the back or ordered you to drug us? "And why didn't you tell her to be reasonable when she tried to kill me earlier?"Dustin sneered, "You're only telling me to be reasonable because you're going to lose. Don't you think the way you're acting is repulsive?"Nikki kept quiet when he was in danger. However, now that Edith was in trouble, Nikki jumped out and tried to guilt him into letting Edith go. How disgusting."I …" Dustin's rapid-fire questioning rendered Nikki speechless. She ran out of excuses and could only put on a tough front. "I'm doing this for you, Dustin! Madam Edith is well-known in the martial world. Being on her bad side would mean that you have more enemies. "That'll just be dangerous for you.""I've already become enemies with most of them anyway. What's one more?" Dustin sho
An Understated Dominance Chapter 907
Ever since Dustin defeated him, Terry had been steadily recovering, biding his time. And now, it was finally time for revenge."You're weaker than you were last time. How are you going to fight me?" Dustin sized up Terry. Although Terry's core had been restored, his cultivation was nowhere near what it was before. Now, he was merely a low-level martial artist."I never said I would fight you. The one who's going to fight you is my mentor!" Terry humphed. "And who's that?" Dustin asked. "Listen well. My mentor is the famous Augustus Kline!" Terry declared proudly.Everyone was shocked. "What? Augustus Kline? Isn't he a grandmaster?""That's right! Augustus Kline is well-known in the martial world. He's one of the five ultimate grandmasters of Balerno!""Holy shit! Who the hell is this guy? How did he become Augustus Kline's disciple?"The Jade Maiden Sisterhood disciples were shocked. They saw grandmasters as beings that resembled God. The martial world also believed tha

"Since Madam Penelope has spoken, I’ll follow her lead," Alloy said with a smile. "What about Mr. Hadley and Sage Foyer?""I'm in if you want to make a bet," Cyrus replied coolly."It's not every day we get an opportunity like this. Let me stir things up a bit." Kaden nodded with a grin.Once the three had agreed, Penelope waved for Abigail to come over.Soon, Abigail approached them with a wide grin. "Esteemed guests, I hear you want to bet. The current odds are—bet on Dustin to win, and you'll get 1.6 times your stake. Bet on Glenn, and it's only 0.4."She continued, "And no worries—if you win, I'll exchange your winnings for celestial stones." Abigail smiled brightly, and the other parties' eyes gleamed with the unmistakable shine of greed.Many had already placed their bets with her. Though she couldn't control the match's outcome, she knew how to adjust the odds to her advantage. Over time, that could turn into a huge fortune."I'm betting on Glenn to win." Cyrus quickly

"We're ready for the ultimate showdown of this tournament. The winner will be crowned the Combat Tournament Champion. Now, let's welcome both contestants to the ring." Oron's voice thundered as he stepped onto the battle ring.There was thunderous applause and cheers from the audience.The long-awaited showdown was finally at hand. Today's outcome wasn't just about personal glory, but it would also decide the future of the martial world.If Glenn triumphed and claimed the crown, the Sword Union would rise as the undisputed guild. The Celestial Alliance and the Mystic Arts Order would have no choice but to bow to their supremacy.But if Dustin won, it would be even more sensational. A dark horse, without any guild affiliation, defeating the elite disciples of the major guild—such a story would send shockwaves through the martial world.Once that happened, every major guild would fight tooth and nail to claim him. 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
