An Understated Dominance - Chapter 187
Ten minutes later, the Horst Dojo was filled with groans of pain. Dustin stood in the middle of the crowd, radiating an aura that felt both powerful and frightening.
Some people in the audience were frozen in shock, staring wide-eyed as if they had seen a ghost. Everyone was amazed by Dustin’s strength; he had taken down the entire dojo all by himself!
It’s important to note that these warriors were the best of the best, each capable of fighting ten opponents at once. Yet, within just a few minutes, Dustin had defeated them all. It was unbelievable! “Wow! He’s that strong? He’s on a whole different level!” someone exclaimed.
“Where did this demon come from?!” another person gasped. Nigel and the others were left speechless, especially a few girls who covered their mouths in surprise.
Dustin faced off against a hundred soldiers, defeating them effortlessly from every direction. It was truly astonishing!
“The Horst dojo is nothing,” Dustin declared confidently, his eyes fixed on Gabriel.
Gabriel, impressed yet determined, replied, “I must admit, kid, you’re impressive. I didn’t give you enough credit before.” He removed his coat, revealing his muscular physique and the long sword at his side.
“But this is where it ends. Today, I will take your life!” he announced as he slowly drew his sword, a cold gleam flashing around him.
“Sir Gabriel is about to unleash his full strength. This kid is in trouble!” Nigel said eagerly, watching the scene unfold.
“Have you heard of the Hundred Immortals?” someone asked.
“Of course! The Hundred Immortals is a ranking list in the martial world. In Dragonmarsh, there are millions of martial artists, but only one hundred can make it onto that list.”
“Hundred individuals are the best of the best, the top experts!”
Nigel proudly raised his head and said, “Just so you know, he is one of the top ten of the Hundred Immortals.”
“What? Top ten of the Hundred Immortals?” The others gasped in shock.
They knew Gabriel was strong, but they never imagined he would be ranked so high on the Hundred Immortals list. Getting on that list was tough, and being in the top ten was even harder. Anyone in the top ten could easily defeat all the martial arts dojos in Swinton.
“It seems I underestimated Sir Gabriel’s power. He is truly a master of martial arts, born into a family of martial artists!”
“That poor guy, he actually dared to challenge Sir Gabriel. He’s asking for trouble!” The onlookers exchanged worried glances, feeling sorry for Dustin, who looked like he was already in over his head.
“I heard Sir Gabriel’s sword is faster than a bullet, and no one can block it. Is that true?” a girl in a yellow dress asked suddenly.
“Absolutely! Sir Gabriel’s sword is famous for its speed, especially his ultimate move, ‘Eclipse Strike.’ No one has ever survived it!” Nigel boasted.
“Wow, that’s incredible! I hope we get to see Sir Gabriel’s ultimate move today,” the girl exclaimed, her eyes shining with admiration.
“Look! Sir Gabriel is about to make his move!”
As the crowd buzzed with excitement, Gabriel stood on stage, his presence growing stronger, radiating a powerful energy.
“Kid, it’s an honor to die by my sword!” Gabriel announced.
“Now, let me show you what it means to break all laws with a single sword strike!” With that, Gabriel leaped high off the stage.
As Gabriel landed, he crouched slightly, gathering his energy. Then, he sprang forward like an arrow, racing toward Dustin.
“Eclipse Strike!” Gabriel shouted, unleashing his most powerful move. The air filled with the shine of his sword and the rush of wind.
“Here it comes, Sir Gabriel’s strongest sword strike!” someone in the crowd exclaimed.
“It’s no surprise it’s his ultimate move! It looks amazing!” another person added.
“No one can survive the ‘Eclipse Strike’!” a third voice called out.
The crowd gasped in awe and excitement. Gabriel and his sword shimmered in a burst of light, aimed directly at Dustin’s chest.
Just as it looked like the blow would hit, a light “ding” rang out. Out of nowhere, two fingers appeared, gripping the sword tightly. With a simple twist, the sword snapped in half.
“Clang!” The wind stopped, and the light faded away.
“Huh?!” Gabriel was shocked, standing frozen, unsure of what to do next.
“My famous move was blocked just like that? And with just two fingers?” he thought, stunned.
“How is this possible?!” Nigel cried, his face turning pale.
