Ashton landed on the ground with the beautiful woman still shielded behind him. Then, he turned to Corwin
“Earlier, you said you wanted to drag me back to the Heavenly Medical Pavilion and use me as a test subject for your drugs. If that’s the case, then you should already be prepared to die,” he said indifferently.
Ashton understood clearly that if he wanted to bring Xena under his control, the first thing he needed to do was to break this arrogant woman’s pride and make her fear him.
“You’ve misunderstood…”
Corwin looked at the shattered Culling Formation, and a chill ran down his spine. Realizing Ashtofr was far stronger than the intelligence reports had indicated, he quickly backed away several steps.
If Ashton were allowed to live, the Heavenly Medical Pavilion would face a serious threat.
“There’s no misunderstanding,” Ashton replied. “Just consider me settling part of the score with the Heavenly Medical Pavilion.
With that, he burst forward with explosive speed. He closed the distance in an instant and forced Corwin into his attack range before the latter could retreat.
Ashton’s fist turned pitch-black as different forces fused within it. Then, he drove the Sixfold Draconic Fist straight toward Corwin’s head.
The explosion of force sent a deafening shockwave through the hall.
It was visible to the naked eye that Corwin’s defenses and strength were completely unable to withstand Ashton’s fist pressure, and he was quickly overwhelmed.
A moment later, his head burst apart and was completely obliterated. Blood rained down across the hall, turning the entire space
crimson.
The terrifying scene left the criminal underworld figures of Lavora nearly paralyzed with fear. They immediately retreated, none of them daring to get anywhere close to Ashton. To them, he was like a Grim Reaper walking among the living.
Ashton withdrew his fist and landed a short distance from Xena.
She staggered back several steps, her heels tapping sharply against the ground. She kept swallowing as she retreated.
The spiritual energy of the pinnacle of the semi-divine realm surged rapidly in front of her, forming a defensive light barrier.
Γ She stared at Ashton in full vigilance, while the fear kept building inside her.
“You scared?” Ashton asked with a grin. “Fear is the first step to submission. Next comes pain. Are you ready for it?”
“How dare you!” she snapped.
Her eyes flared with chilling killing intent. At the same time, she unleashed her strongest divine technique without hesitation. Her energy at the pinnacle of the semi-divine realm surged forward in overlapping waves toward him.
For Xena to become the ruler of Lavora’s criminal underworld, it was enough to prove she was no weakling. Her mastery of divine techniques was extremely refined. Within the semi-divine realm, she had rarely encountered anyone who could challenge her
So even though Ashton had already displayed terrifying combat strength, she still believed she had a chance of defeating him. “Is that all you’ve got?” He smirked. “Then, watch closely. This is what real power looks like.”
Ashton didn’t bother defending at all. He clenched his fist again and barked, “I’ve got a punch that counters anything you throw at me.”

The Drakeborne lineage surged within him as he unleashed a barrage of punches. Each strike broke through the divine technique she had formed.
“What?”
Xena’s eyes widened again. She watched helplessly as her divine technique shattered before her. Panic finally set in as she realized she was facing a true powerhouse.
Before Xena could react, Ashton slammed his body forward, tearing straight through her defenses. He spread his fingers and clamped his hand around her throat.
“Do you submit now?” he asked in a low voice.
