An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 811

"Hah! What a bold statement! I'd like to see what you're capable of!"

Alan couldn't hold back any longer. He took a step forward, raising his broadsword high. Then, he brought it down at full force, slashing mercilessly at Dustin.

It was a powerful strike, almost possessing a force capable of splitting the earth. As the broadsword slashed toward Dustin, the lake surrounding the platform rippled from the force.

"Impressive swordplay!"

The onlookers were surprised. The Heavenly Immortals lived up to their name. It was amazing how just a casual move had such terrifying power.

Dustin shook his head. Instead of backing off, he pressed forward. While dodging the strike, he threw a heavy punch at Alan.

"That was quick!"

Alan's eyes narrowed as he reflexively blocked the punch with the back of his broadsword. Dustin's fist landed heavily on the sword, making a dull thud.

Instantly, Alan was sent flyings several feet away, his sword still in hand. When he landed, he needed a few moments to steady himself.

"How is that possible?" Alan paled.

He felt numb along the length of his arm, and his blood boiled. The back of his broadsword, made of darksteel, had bent from the force of Dustin's punch.

He no longer dared to underestimate his opponent and took the fight seriously.

The punch had taught him a lesson. He might have been seriously injured on the spot if he had not deflected the blow with the back of his sword.

His opponent's strength was truly terrifying!

"My gosh! That bastard has actually gained the upper hand?"

"No wonder he can afford to act so arrogantly. He does indeed have several tricks up his sleeves!"
