An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 2156

At that moment, Predator transformed into a terrifying bladestorm with his giant sword. Wherever the storm swept, man or object would be torn to shreds without mercy.

The two warring parties, previously locked in fierce combat, were scattered and forced to stop fighting in the face of the relentless onslaught.

This indiscriminate attack showed no mercy, sparing neither friend nor foe. Anyone caught in its path was doomed to certain death, a fate everyone desperately avoided.

With each passing moment, the bladestorm intensified, growing larger and swirling faster as it approached Dustin.

"Hmm?" Dustin's eyebrow arched in surprise.

Predator's move unleashed devastation that surpassed Dustin's cultivation. If used on the battlefield, it would be a deadly weapon capable of wreaking havoc.

Even in one-on-one combat among the grandmasters, only a few could withstand such an attack. Dustin couldn't help but admit that Predator was indeed skilled.

"Cross Slash!" Dustin immediately raised his hand and countered the howling bladestorm with two strikes.

Two white sword auras shot out simultaneously, converging to form a cross-shaped attack aimed at the bladestorm.

With a deafening explosion, energy surged, and sword aura scattered. Upon impact, Dustin's cross-shaped sword aura exploded into a shower of sparks.

At that moment, powerful shock waves radiated outward in all directions, resembling a tidal wave. Darkness enveloped the sky as sand and stones were sent flying.

The martial artists and the black-clad assassins were forced to retreat as neither side dared to draw near.

Soon after, the storm gradually subsided, leaving the area within a 100-foot radius in ruins. The once solid rocky ground had been transformed into a funnel-shaped crater.

At that moment, Dustin stood stoically at the edge of the pit. His pristine white clothes were dust-free, and he radiated a suave charm like a dashing gentleman.

In contrast, Predator stood raggedly within the pit and panted heavily. The giant sword in his hands remained defensive in front of him. It trembled slightly from the residual energy from the earlier encounter.

Unexpectedly, a cross-shaped bloodstain marred Predator's chest. The wound was deep, nearly exposing bone, with blood flowing from it.

Predator had been defeated, and his injuries were severe after the last clash.

"What? How is this possible?" The man in black's eyes widened in disbelief.

Predator wasn't just the leader of The Fangs. He was one of the top assassins in the organization and ranked among the top five in terms of strength.

The man in black had anticipated that Predator's deadly bladestorm move would kill Dustin. However, Dustin's "Cross Slash" technique shattered the bladestorm and inflicted severe wounds on Predator.

Despite this outcome, the man in black couldn't comprehend how someone in their 20s like Dustin could possess such incredible strength. Even the toughest beasts on the Legendary List paled in comparison to Dustin.

At that moment, shock spread beyond the man in black to the other assassins. They all wore expressions of utter disbelief. They never imagined their undefeated leader would lose so miserably.
