Chapter 2119 by Marina Vittori
An Understated Dominance
âAnyone who doesnât want to end up six feet under, clear out! Donât blame me if you get caught in the crossfire and push daisies!â
With that warning, the Bloodfiery Legion disciples cleared the area, preparing for the impending duel.
They were all too familiar with the bone -chilling might of Kendricks. His blade aura alone could claim lives.
As shouts erupted, the spectators scattered. Only Dustin and Kendricks stood within 300 feet apart, facing each other.
One stood proudly as the eighth- ranked legend, a powerhouse in his own right. The other had recently defeated Marco, a rising star in their domain.
Excitement surged as news of the impending duel spread. It even attracted numerous martial artists eager to witness the outcome firsthand.
âEveryone, whatâs your take on Dustinâs chances against Kendricksâs blade?â
âIâm not so sure! Kendricks is eighth on the Legendary List. Heâs formidable. If heâs daring enough to issue the challenge, he must be confident in his victory!â
âYouâre right! I remember seeing Kendricks wield his sword once, and let me tell you, it was mind-blowing. Dustin doesnât stand a chance.â
âIâm not so sure. I saw Dustin defeat Marco yesterday, and heâs surprisingly strong.â
âDustin doesnât stand a chance against Kendricks. I mean, come on, theyâre not even in the same league! Kendricksâs spot on the Legendary List speaks volumes. Dustin? Heâs nowhere near that level!â
Excitement filled the air as the spectators chattered eagerly, anticipating the fight. Many were confident in Kendricksâ victory, while a few still held onto hope for Dustinâs resilience against his opponentâs skillful blade.
âWhat are you waiting for? Draw your sword.â
Dustin stood with his hands behind his back, calmly observing Kendricks before him. His expression remained steady, unwavering.
Kendricks scanned Dustin, noting the absence of a weapon, and asked, â Planning to face my blade empty- handed?â
Dustin shrugged. âWhy not?â
His casual response made Kendricks frown, his demeanor turning icy. âKid, are you trying to provoke me? Iâll make sure you regret it!â
âEnough talk, letâs get on with it. Iâve got things to do and no time to waste on you,â Dustin urged.
Once again, his daring words ignited the crowdâs enthusiasm.
They thought that Dustin didnât know his limit. Despite facing someone as formidable as Kendricks, he boldly stepped forward, oblivious to the danger ahead.
Kendricks chuckled with anger, his voice dripping with sarcasm. âKid, youâre quite cocky, arenât you? But mark my words. Soon, youâll learn the cost of such arrogance.â
With a deliberate motion, he withdrew the weapon strapped to his back. It was a simple black blade, its edges worn and chipped, hardly more than an inch long, resembling an ordinary dagger.
However, appearances were deceiving, for this unremarkable blade had been his faithful companion, guiding him to countless victories without ever knowing defeat.
âKeep your eyes peeled! This blow is going to be the end of you!â Kendricks tightened his grip on the hilt with one hand while steadying the blade with the other.
After a brief pause, he lunged forward with lightning speed. âCity Crusher!â
As he charged forward, he paused briefly to draw a deep breath. With a mighty swing, his black blade sliced through the air with ferocity.
Instantly, a menacing crescent-shaped blade aura burst forth, pulsating with a destructive energy capable of annihilating everything in its path.
It surged relentlessly toward Dustin, spanning over 30 feet long. This towering force resembled an unstoppable giantâs blade, poised to cleave through anything in its path.
