Dominic Taylorâs face was filled with provocation and schadenfreude.
Seeing his expression, Ethan Smith couldnât help but laugh, âDominic Taylor, I remember the first time I saw you, you were an elegantly dressed young man with a gentle demeanor.â
âI thought you were a worthy heir of the Taylor family.â
âBut now it seems, youâre both sly and lecherous.â
Ethan shook his head helplessly, disappointment written all over his face.
Dominicâs eyes narrowed slightly, and he snorted coldly, âIt doesnât matter what you think of me. But itâs hard to say if youâll survive tomorrow.â
With that, he turned and walked away.
Ethan didnât bother to argue with him either.
His intentions were impure; claiming to let his apprentice challenge Ethan was just an excuse to take advantage of the situation.
Regardless of the outcome of fighting Broderick, Ethan would definitely be injured.
By then, Ethan might not even be a match for Dominicâs apprentice.
âThat Dominic Taylor is really cunning and crafty!â the man with the mustache couldnât help but curse.
Ethan waved his hand dismissively, saying, âIt doesnât matter.â
â¦
The next day.
Before Ethan had even woken up, two people were waiting at his door.
Upon seeing Ethan, they walked over quickly.
âMs. Hayward asked us to tell you that she will be waiting for you at Qinvor Mountain,â they said.
After saying that, they turned and left without looking back.
Ethan scratched his chin and murmured, âQinvor Mountainâ¦a good place to bury someone.â
After making some simple preparations, Ethan took Clare Richardson and the man with the mustache to Qinvor Mountain.
By this time, the area near Qinvor Mountain was already crowded with people.
These people came from all over, drawn by the news to watch the battle.
People from the Martial Arts Academy had gathered here early, waiting for this long-awaited battle.
In the crowd.
A young manâs face was full of anger as he watched the scene before him; he couldnât help but clench his fists.
It was none other than Dexter Blair.
âHow did he get to where he is todayâ¦â Dexter gritted his teeth.
Unknowingly, he had been left far behind by Ethan.
Mr. Tenny, donât be angry. People like Ethan emerge every once in a while, but their endings usually arenât good,â a nearby attendant consoled.
Dexter remained silent, but his heart was filled with rage.
Since losing to Ethan, Dexter had been in decline.
Even though he was desperate to recover, his progress was slow.
The once top-ten fighter had long since vanished from the ranks.
âLook, Broderick is here!â someone in the crowd suddenly exclaimed.
Glancing over, they saw Broderick standing at the top of Qinvor Mountain.
He was dressed in black, with his clothes fluttering in the breeze.
âWhat a powerful aura!â
Even from a great distance, someone inexplicably praised him.
âTsk tsk, you really know how to flatter. From so far away, can you even feel the aura of a feather?â someone sneered.
âYou donât understand, the aura radiating from him goes straight to the heart.â
âJust keep flattering, maybe if you do a good job, heâll reward you with a bone.â
âWho are you scolding?â
âWhoeverâs guilty knows!â
Before Ethan and Broderick even began to fight, the spectators below were already arguing.
âEthan is here!â
At that moment, someone shouted, and everyone looked over in unison.
Ethan, the man with the mustache, and Clare Richardson were getting out of a taxi.
Compared to Broderickâs âposingâ on the mountain top, Ethan seemed much more grounded.
He was wearing an ordinary tracksuit, looking nothing like an elite fighter.
âSee, compared to Broderick, isnât Ethanâs aura much weaker?â
âGo fuck yourself, is your aura only determined by your clothing?â
âIf you canât speak well, shut your anus!â
âBroderick is way more handsome than that Ethan, Broderick must win!â
âAre you fucking kidding me? Are we judging the victory based on looks?â
âAppearance is justice!â
The crowd seemed to have split into two factions.
Supporters of Broderick and supporters of Ethan were arguing incessantly.
âThere sure are a lot of people,â Ethan said, frowning slightly as he looked at the sea of faces.
Clearly, Ms. Hayward had deliberately leaked the news.
Her purpose was to draw more spectators.
Seeing this, Ethan narrowed his eyes slightly. âIt seems Ms. Hayward is quite confident.â
In that case, Broderick must have some extraordinary trump card.
âYou are finally here,â Ms. Hayward said as she approached Ethan.
Ethan glanced at her and sneered, âOld beast, if I hadnât come, how could I slaughter your precious beast?â
âYou little beast! Youâre still arrogant even when facing death!â Ms. Haywardâs aged face was filled with rage.
Ethan snickered, âTell him to jump down from the mountain, whatâs he doing posing up there?â
Ms. Hayward looked at Broderick, who was atop the mountain, and said with a mock smile, âBroderick is destined to stand at the summit, and you will be just a stepping stone!â
âIs that so?â Ethan raised his eyebrow.
With a clench of his fist, Golden Light burst forth!
Immediately, Ethan swung a fist in Broderickâs direction!
Terrifying Golden Light covered the sky, rolling towards him!
âHe started!â someone excitedly shouted!
âBoom!â
All that was left after the Golden Light hit the mountain top was a pile of shattered rubble!
Broderick leaped down from the mountain.
âOld beast, it looks like the summit you speak of is quite fragile,â Ethan taunted.
Ms. Hayward gritted her teeth. Knowing she couldnât get an advantage, she said no more.
âEthan! Iâve been waiting for a long time!â Broderick suddenly shouted, his voice filled with Inner Strength that rolled in and made peopleâs ears ache.
Ethan gave Broderick a cold look, then stepped towards him.
âEthan, beâ¦careful,â Clare said softly, tugging on his arm.
Ethan smiled, âDonât worry, killing him will be as easy as crushing an ant.â
With that, Ethan surged forward, soaring into the air.
In an instant, he was face-to-face with Broderick.
Their eyes met, mere feet apart.
Although neither made a move, their breaths collided in the air.
âCrack!â
The ground beneath them couldnât withstand the pressure, and cracks spread like spiderwebs.
A whirlwind suddenly erupted between the two fighters!
âIâve been waiting for this day,â Broderick said coldly.
Ethan scoffed, âI really admire your willingness to face death.â
âYou talk too much!â Broderick roared. His body trembled, and the black robe shattered!
With that, Broderickâs dark fist hurtled towards Ethan!
