Chapter 190
This was Darius' first time actually harnessing this energy and trying to make it reach someone's exact location. Naturally, he failed, and the energy landed on the car next to the martial artist, making it explode. Once again, the tar was blown to smithereens.
There was a flash of panic in the martial artist’s eyes, but it quickly disappeared. His gaze turned disdainful as he looked at Darius.
‘Your energy's powerful, but the fact that you can't control it means it's basically useless to you." As he spoke, his body seemed to waver.
Darius sensed the martial artist appearing before him, but something weird happened in the process-he could clearly see every single action the martial artist made, including how he came over.
Another thing that surprised him was that everything around him seemed to happen in slow motion when the energy flowed through him. This accidental discovery was a good one, and it made him smile uncontrollably.
The martial artist thought he was mocking him and scowled. Soon, however, he pushed this thought out of his mind because he sensed Darius attacking him again. He'd thrown a huge portion of his power behind it this time. He believed this to be the remainder of his strength. If it wasn’t... that was a scary thought.
Then, he found that he didn't have the chance to verify this because there was no way he could stop Darius’ attack from causing him harm. He spat out a mouthful of blood.
Darius put his hands behind his back after his attack, not expecting this to happen. He'd only used a small portion of his power, but it had already sent the martial artist flying. He shook his head and sighed.
"I thought you were powerful, but it seems that we were both mistaken about your true capabilities. You're nothing special, really.”
It had been years since the martial artist had last received such feedback. However, he couldn’t deny it, and his face turned blotchy with embarrassment.
He got to his feet, not saying a word as he looked at Darius. Then, he turned and ran. He was already moving as quickly as possible, but he was still no match for Darius.
The moment he started to move, Darius had already caught him and knew what he was going to do.
So, Darius moved just as the martial artist did. He ran to block the martial artist, stopping him from going elsewhere. The martial artist skidded to a stop when he saw Darius standing in his way.
Of course, it wasn't as if he had a choice. He squatted and pressed his head to his knees, saying tremulously,
"I've lost, and I want to leave now."
"Do you think you have a choice here?" Darius asked coldly.
The martial artist trembled, unable to accept this. He looked at Darius and said,
"If you're willing to let me go, I'll owe you one. You can bring up any condition you have, and I'll do everything to satisfy you."
