“I misunderstood! It was my mistake! It's my fault!” Black Bear replied hurriedly.
However, judging from the crowd's expressions, it was evident not many believed Calix's explanation.
Quickly changing the subject, Calix said to Zeke, “Are you sure you're not going to kneel before me, brat? Very well, then. Since you prefer death, I'll grant your wish. However, I'll still drain you of all your blood. Hahaha!”
Zeke glanced at Apollyon before saying, “That's enough. Cut the cr*p, and let's begin.”
Apollyon stepped forth from among the crowd and gazed at Calix coldly. “Come on, then. Prepare to meet your end.”
Wait a minute.
Calix frowned. “Aren't you Apollyon? What the f*ck do you mean by this?”
“You're not worth my leader's time. Hence, I decided to deal with you myself and teach you a good lesson,” Apollyon responded.
What the... F*ck you!
Calix flew into a rage at once.
That greenhorn dared to say that I'm no match for him! How utterly insulting and humiliating! This b*stard has gone too far. He has crossed the line and must die. He has to die!
Calix was so enraged that he started becoming a little unhinged. “Ah, Apollyon. The opponent I defeated back then with just one strike. I can still vividly recall how you got on your knees and begged me. That scene... Hahaha! I can't wait to witness it once again! However, you're no longer worthy as my opponent. Black Bear, kill him.”
The burly Black Bear stepped forward and fixed Apollyon with a scornful gaze. “It has been a while since we last met. Do you know that all your wife talks about since Mr. Calix took her away is you? It's about time we got rid of you so she can give up all hope on you and be with Mr. Calix wholeheartedly.”
At the mention of Calix stealing his wife away, Apollyon's eyes reddened, and his blood rushed to his face.
For him, that was a painful past that would haunt him forever.
Die! He must die! Go to hell, you b*stard!
Apollyon charged toward Black Bear as though he were in a frenzy.
Not to be outdone, Black Bear also dashed toward Apollyon.
Black Bear's advantage lay in his well-built body and explosive strength.
He planned to kill Apollyon by ramming his body into the latter, so he did not have any other offensive moves.
However, what surprised everyone was that Apollyon would also decide to attack Black Bear head-on.
Apollyon was thin, so ramming into someone was not his strong suit.
Isn't pitting one's weakness against another's strength a recipe for disaster?
The two men finally collided into each other.
A dull thud rang out, reverberating in the crowd's ears.
Then, a second later, something truly unbelievable happened.
Black Bear, the person with the incredible explosive force, was sent flying backward through the air by the impact. His body got stuck on a tree branch where it swayed in mid-air.
His chest was sunken in, and the air pressure forced out from his chest drove his eyeballs to bulge and his tongue to protrude. It was a truly gruesome sight.
As for Apollyon, he remained where he had been standing, unscathed and with an ugly smile on his lips.
Everything turned quiet as a deathly silence fell over the entire place.
Everyone could not believe their eyes.
After all, Black Bear was one of Calix's strongest subordinates. In fact, his capabilities were only second to Calix's.
However, he didn't even survive one of Apollyon's attacks. Was Black Bear too weak or Apollyon too powerful? Even a fool can tell it was because Apollyon was too powerful. How could an ordinary person possibly knock Black Bear into the air and even cause his eyes and tongue to stick out?
Calix's eyes widened, and he finally turned to face Apollyon squarely.
It hasn't been that long since we last met, yet this b*stard has gotten so much stronger.
Noticing that the Centuria appeared uneasy and shaken, Calix knew the only way to resolve the crisis was to take action himself.
He stood up slowly and gazed at Apollyon with a malicious expression. Then, he said with a chuckle, “I underestimated you. Indeed, you're a little stronger than you were. Alas, that's about as much as you can do. You're still no match for me. You'll die today!
