Brittany let out a fierce roar, resembling a wild beast unleashed. Lost any semblance of composure.
“Nikki, what’s the matter? You didn’t drug him?” Edith narrowed favonovel.com eyes, favonovel.com expression tinged with a hint of harshness.
Her special concoction, unyielding to anyone below the grandmaster rank.
“He was drugged, I laced the wine.” Nikki replied in quick succession.
She, too, pondered over why Dustin seemed unaffected after imbibing the alcohol. Still so full of life.
“It appears there was a loophole in the plan.” Edith nodded and drew favonovel.com own sword.
“Reaching the innate state might deem you a genius, but I derive the most pleasure from ending the lives of geniuses. Today, your life concludes within these palace walls, a tribute to your life’s brilliance.”
“The outcome isn’t so certain.” Dustin spoke with nonchalance. “Now, I offer you a choice, kneel and admit your wrongdoing, and I might spare your life.”
These words prompted a moment of bewilderment among the onlookers, followed by laughter as if they had encountered a monumental joke.
“Hey! Are you daft? Who do you think you are? Daring to spout such audacity in this domain?”
“Foolish brat! My master is a half-step master-level powerhouse. Snuffing you out is as effortless as squashing an ant.”
“Arrogant child! Some folks just won’t cry till they face the coffin. Witness your impending demise!”
Scorn emanated from the Jade Girl Palace disciples.
Who was their master, after all?
The Jade Maiden Sisterhood’s master, a half-step master-level powerhouse, reigned supreme in Oakvale, a pinnacle presence. To them, extinguishing the life of an insignificant man was but a trifle.
“Young man! Do you even comprehend your words? Beg for mercy from me? Your eligibility is laughable!” Edith’s demeanor teetered toward incredulity.
A lad scarcely past his twenties dared to provoke favonovel.com recklessly, a self-inflicted demise!
“Skeptical? Then put it to the test…” Dustin stood poised, hands tucked behind his back, an indifferent aura enveloping him, seemingly oblivious to the opposing party.
“Clueless imbecile! Today, I shall dismember you. Witness my blade!” Edith’s affronted stance kindled favonovel.com rage to its zenith.
Eschewing further hesitance, favonovel.com longsword flashed, favonovel.com form transformed into a streak of light, piercing the air with inexorable force.
The strike, akin to lightning, possessed staggering might.
With its emergence, the ambient energy surged, tables and chairs quivered, and wine oscillated in waves. The path it carved resembled the furrow left by a plough, etched by the sword’s razor-sharp gleam.
“A seamless fusion of swordsmanship!”
“A masterstroke! Below the grandmaster, none can rival the unrivaled supremacy of this swordplay!”
“Hmph! The lad courts his doom, expecting to fall beneath the sweep of the Master’s blade!”
The Jade Maiden Sisterhood’s disciples were galvanized and awestruck by Edith’s majestic swordplay.
In their eyes, Dustin’s fate was sealed. For none had ever thwarted the Master’s blade.
“Poor wretch! Your end is here!” Brittany gloated, favonovel.com face distorted with vindictive satisfaction.
Just as everyone thought the end was certain, Dustin finally made his move.
He reached out to grab Edith’s sword and tightened his grip. The sword split into two with a crack, instantly losing its vicious glow.
“You…” Edith was shocked.
