With an apologetic look on his face, Zeke said, “I’m sorry. It’s my fault for not killing you back then. It must be torturing having to wait for so long. Let me make up for my past mistakes by killing you right now so you don’t have to keep suffering.”
How arrogant!
Zeke’s words angered General Wilson. “Are you still treating me as the weakling I was five years ago? I am now a Platinum Archduke, and my powers are comparable to yours when you were at your peak. On the flip side, you are now a useless scum. What right do you have to act all high and mighty?” he said furiously.
Zeke scanned General Wilson up and down, then said, “No matter the past, present, or future, you will always be a small weakling to me!”
Ahhhhhhhh!
General Wilson gnashed his teeth and snarled, “You ba****d! You will pay for your arrogance today!”
Right after that, he charged towards Zeke.
He picked up speed swiftly like a cheetah hunting its prey, and the air displaced by his lightning speed blew up grains of sand from the ground.
That same moment, Zeke made his move.
He stomped his right foot on the ground, kicking up grains of sand and pebbles until a sand barrier formed in front of him.
Then, with great force, he punched the sand barrier, and a big ball of sand flew in General Wilson’s direction.
Looking disdainful, General Wilson did not even try to dodge the ball of sand.
How powerful can a handful of sand be?
A split second later, the pile of sand hit him head-on.
His whole body froze as if he had been turned to stone.
Then he collapsed onto the ground.
There was a hole the size of a fist on his chest, and his heart was almost visible.
Blood mixed with sand squirted out of his chest!
There was dead silence, and everyone’s eyes almost popped out after witnessing what just happened.
Flying sand piercing through a human body was simply incomprehensible!
Damn, which fool said the Great Marshal’s life force is depleted and that he is now an ordinary human?!
He is not damaged at all and is actually much stronger than before.
In just one move, he killed a Platinum Archduke!
To be precise, it was only half a move since the two parties did not have physical contact with each other at all.
Zeke shifted his gaze from General Wilson to the crowd present at the scene.
“Now it’s time for us to settle our scores,” he said.
Zeke’s death stare sent a cold shiver running down everyone’s spines.
His stare was like a powerful drug that drew out the deepest fears in their hearts.
As the group of fighters backed away from Zeke subconsciously, someone suddenly shouted loudly, “My brothers, do not be afraid. Together, we should not fear anyone, not even the Platinum Archduke. There is no way this guy can be stronger than the Platinum Archduke. General Wilson merely underestimated his opponent just now.”
The man’s battle cry had an instant effect.
The fighters pushed their fears aside and regained their courage.
“You’re right. As long as he is not a King Class warrior, we should not be afraid of him. So far, it is still not confirmed whether the King Class level actually exists, so he is certainly not a King Class warrior! Kill the Great Marshal and avenge General Wilson. America will definitely reward us well,” one of them cried out.
Their hatred towards the Great Marshal and the deSire for rewards from the America pushed them to take a risk in battling Zeke. So, they surrounded him in preparation to fight.
Zeke said coldly, “You idiots! You’re making the stupidest decision of your lives!”
Clenching his fists tightly, he took a deep breath and accumulated strength quickly.
Then, his arm started expanding so quickly that one could easily see the changes in the size of his arm.
His arm expanded to the point where it ruptured his clothes.
This meant that he had achieved great strength.
