The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 222

Woods burst into raucous laughter, his head thrown back as if he owned the world. Once he finished, he looked down at Ryan with sheer disdain, his face dripping with scorn.

"Ryan, have you got a death wish? Coming up here to challenge me? With that laughable fighting style of yours, I suggest you'd be better off at home babysitting the grandkids!"

"Big talk!"

Ryan, feeling insulted, charged forward with his fists at the ready. But before he could land a punch, Woods reached out with his clawed hand, aiming straight for Ryan's chest. Ryan quickly backed away, narrowly escaping the brutal strike. However, Woods's tiger claw still managed to leave several deep cuts across Ryan's chest.

Struck by the poisoned claws, Ryan felt fierce pain, followed by a wave of dizziness. Anyone caught by Woods's claws would weaken instantly and become unable to continue the fight.

"You're despicable, Woods! Poisoning your claws?" Ryan bellowed in realization.

No sooner had Ryan spoken than Woods lunged forward, grasping Ryan's neck with his clawed hand and hissed a cold threat.

"Going to throw in the towel? If you don't yield, I'll snap your neck in one twist and leave you dead in this ring!"

Seeing this, Jacob immediately jumped onto the ring.

"Let's take him down together! The presidency of Martial Club United must not fall into the hands of this vile fiend!"
