Relationships and Power: Understated Dominance by by Marina Vittori

An Understated Dominance: By Marina Vittori​

Dahlia Nicholson and Dustin Rhys have been married for three years. After Dahlia achieves rapid success, she decides to end her marriage with Dustin, viewing him as a burden. Little does she know that all her accomplishments were actually thanks to him.​


CHAPTER 1
My wife is a CEO, she always hates me for being lazy and wants to divorce me. But she doesn't know that her success is bestowed by me.

“Dustin, here is the divorce agreement prepared by Ms. Nicholson. All you need to do is sign them.”

In the president’s office of the Quine Group, the secretary, Lyra Blaine, placed a piece of A4 paper on the table. A man sat opposite her, dressed in plain clothing.

“Divorce? What do you mean?”

Dustin Rhys was taken aback.

“Do you not understand what I’m saying? Your marriage with Ms. Nicholson is over. You’re not even on the same level anymore. Your existence is nothing but a smear on the president’s reputation!”

Lyra pulled no punches as she spoke.

“A smear on her reputation?” Dustin frowned. “Is that how she thinks of me?”

Back when they first got married, the Nicholson family was in ruinous debt. He was the one who helped them when they were at their lowest point. Now that they were rich, Dahlia Nicholson was ready to just kick him out.

“Something like that.” Lyra poked her chin toward the magazine on the table. A photo of a beautiful woman was printed on the front page. “Look at the headline on this magazine, Dustin. Ms. Nicholson’s net worth has hit one billion in the course of just three years, a feat no short of a miracle. She’s now the most desired woman in Swinton! With all this, she’s destined for greatness. But you, you’re just a regular joe. You don’t deserve her at all. I hope that you’ll see some sense and do the right thing.”

When Dustin remained silent, Lyra frowned.

“I know you’re not happy with this, but this is reality,” she continued. “You might have helped Ms. Nicholson when she was in trouble, but she has repaid you for everything you’ve done for her over the last three years. In fact, you’re the one who owes her now!”

“Is our marriage just a business deal to her, then?” Dustin took a deep breath to suppress the emotions within. “If she wants to divorce me, let her speak to me herself.”

“Ms. Nicholson is very busy. She doesn’t need to trouble herself with such trifling matters.”

“Trifling matters?” Dustin was stunned. Then he laughed bitterly. “Is that so? Is divorce a trifling matter to her? She can’t even find the time to speak to me. Truly, she’s that unattainable now!”

“Dustin, don’t delay this any longer.” Lyra pushed the divorce agreement toward him again. “Just sign here and you’ll get a car and a house as compensation. On top of that, you’ll also get eight million dollars. This is more than what you’ll be able to earn in your lifetime!”

“Eight million dollars is a lot, but…I don’t need it. I will sign the divorce papers if she comes personally. Otherwise, I won’t sign anything,” Duston said coldly.

“Don’t go too far, Dustin!” Lyra slammed her hand on the table. “Don’t say I didn’t warn you. With all her power and resources, Ms. Nicholson can divorce you easily. It’s only because she appreciates her past relationship with you that she’s allowing you to keep your dignity intact. Don’t provoke her!”

“My dignity?” Dustin was a little amused by that. She didn’t even want to speak to him directly to divorce him. What kind of dignity was that? Moreover, if she really did appreciate their relationship, then why was she threatening him now?

“I don’t think we have anything else to talk about, then.”

Unwilling to argue, Dustin stood up and made to leave.

“Dustin Rhys! You—”

Just as Lyra was about to lose her cool, a curvy woman in a long black dress walked in. Her skin was as white as snow, and her features were delicate. Her lofty aura and curvaceous figure made her look like a goddess right out of a painting.

“You’re finally here.”

Dustin felt complicated emotions when he saw the beautiful woman. They had been married for three years, during which they treated each other with care and respect. But this was how it ended. He still didn’t know what he had done wrong.

“I’m sorry for being late, I was caught up with something else.”

Dahlia Nicholson sat down. Her expression was as impassive as ever.

“You certainly are busy, if you need your secretary to help you deal with your divorce,” Dustin said.

Hearing this, Dahlia frowned slightly. However, she did not explain herself. Instead, she said, “Since you’re here, let’s get straight to the point. Let’s end this on a pleasant note. I’m sorry I have to do this to you, so you can have the car and the house, plus eight million dollars as alimony. How does that sound?”

At that, she placed a card on the table.

“Do you really think our relationship can be measured by money?” Dustin asked.

“Too little? That’s alright. Let me know what you want. I’ll give you anything within my power,” Dahlia said placidly.

“I don’t think you understood me. Let me rephrase my question. Are money and power that important to you?” Dustin was truly bewildered.

Dahlia went over to the windows and looked out over the city. There was determination in her eyes when she said, “To me, yes, they’re very important.”

“You’ve earned enough to feed yourself for the rest of your life. Why do this?”

“Dustin, that’s where you and I diverge in philosophy. You’ll never understand what I really want.” Dahlia shook her head in disappointment.

They weren’t just incompatible in status and power; they were also incompatible in their principles. Most importantly, she did not see any hope for the future in him.

“You’re right. How would I know what you’re thinking?” Dustin laughed bitterly. “All I know is to cook for you when you’re hungry, prepare your coat when it’s cold out, and carry you to the hospital when you’re sick.”

“There’s no point in going into this now.” Dahlia’s expression held complicated emotions, but it was soon covered up by determination.

“You’re right.” Dustin nodded without any emotion. “I heard that you’ve been close with the heir of the Nolan family. Is it because of him?”

Dahlia was about to deny it when she gave it a second thought. In the end, she nodded.

“You can say that.”

“Okay. I hope you’re happy with him.” Dustin smiled and signed the divorce agreement without any more hesitation. All he felt now was disappointment. Ironically, today was also their wedding anniversary. There was cruel humor in divorcing him on the day they had gotten married.

“I don’t want the money, I just want that crystal necklace back. My mother left it to me before she died so that I can give it to my wife.”

“Okay.”

Dahlia nodded and gave him the crystal necklace.

“From today onward, we will have nothing to do with each other!”

Dustin put on the necklace and left. He had no more gentleness in his expression; all that was left was distant aloofness.

“Did I do the right thing, Lyra?” Dahlia asked hesitantly.

Even though she was the one who asked for the divorce, she didn’t feel happy at all when it was finalized.

“Of course you did!” Lyra nodded. “You have the right to pursue happiness. Dustin does not deserve you at all. He’ll only bring you down with him. You’re destined to be the most powerful woman in Swinton!”

Dahlia did not answer her. As she watched Dustin leave, she felt as if she was losing something precious.

Night falls quickly. In the hotel, members of Margaret’s escort team returned to their rooms to rest early after dinner.

Only two groups of personal guards were left, taking turns patrolling and standing guard, just in case.


During this time in the Death Desert, they were physically and mentally exhausted.


Now that they are finally out, they can finally have a good sleep.

In a room on the second floor.

Dustin happily took a hot bath, then sat on the bed and began to close his eyes to rest and adjust his b o d y.

This mission has been successfully completed.

As for those so-called treasures, he was not interested at all, he only wanted a bottle of spiritual liquid.

He has never drank this kind of thing before, just for a taste.


At his current state, the improvement of spiritual fluid is actually not that big.

What’s more, he also has the most precious martial arts treasure, the Heavenly Spirit Pearl, and his cultivation speed can be said to be rapid.

There is not much demand for spiritual liquid or anything like that.

In fact, drinking too much spiritual liquid will put a great burden on the b o d y. In a sense, it will overdraw the b o d y ’ s potential in advance.

Although the spiritual liquid can improve one’s cultivation level in a short period of time, it can help people break through the realm.

But this kind of unpolished state is very unstable. On the one hand, it is easy to go crazy, and on the other hand, it is weaker than warriors who rely on their own breakthroughs.


Of course, these shortcomings are negligible compared to the benefits of spiritual liquid.

Just improving one’s cultivation and extending one’s life are enough to drive people crazy.

After all, for many warriors, it is difficult to break through a major realm in their lifetime.

It is simply a dream to be able to break through the realm and improve your cultivation with the help of spiritual liquid.

“Dong, dong, dong…”

Just as Dustin closed his eyes to relax, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Opening the door, he saw Lily Zhang standing outside with a charming smile.



At this moment, she was wearing a silver miniskirt, revealing two long black silk legs. She also had beautiful makeup on her face. She looked very s*xy and attractive.

No matter in figure or appearance, Lily Zhang has a classy appearance. After dressing up, she looks like a hibiscus, full of temptation.

“Do you have a problem with me?”

Dustin glanced up and down, but his expression did not change at all.

Lily Zhang is beautiful, but compared with the top ten beauties on the rouge list, she is still far behind.

Especially Margaret, who is at the top of the rouge list, even if she does not show her face, she still beats Lily Zhang in terms of attractiveness.

“Senior Brother Dustin, I have something to talk to you. Can I come in and sit for a while?” Lily Zhang said with a smile.

While speaking, she also stroked the black hair beside her ears, her movements were enchanting and charming.

“Sorry, it’s not convenient inside. If you have anything to say, just say it here.” Dustin said calmly.

“Inconvenient?”

Lily Zhang blinked ambiguously: “Is it possible that Senior Brother Dustin is hiding his beauty in the golden house, afraid that others will see it?”
 
Chapter 2034

“Ms. Zhang, I’m a little tired and want to go to bed early. If you have anything to say, just say it.” Dustin still had a cold face.

He really doesn’t want to have too much contact with such a scheming woman.

“Senior Brother Dustin, don’t be so cold.”

Lily Zhang showed a resentful look: “People come to you at night, don’t you understand? What are they thinking about? In fact, from the first time I saw you, I have been fascinated by your unparalleled charm. As soon as I close my eyes, my mind is full of your figure. Tell me, what should I do? Okay?”

As Lily Zhang said this, she moved forward and her slender hands naturally touched Dustin’s strong chest.

Those eyes full of spring water exude a faint light and are full of strange charm, as if they can swallow up people’s souls.

If ordinary warriors take one look at her, they will soon fall in love with her and be captivated by her.

This is Twisted Sisters’s signature charm technique, beauty is weapon!

The fact that Twisted Sisters has been able to establish itself in the southwest for many years and grow stronger is inseparable from the art of beauty drunkenness.

The more beautiful you are and the more advanced you are in the art of charm, the more attractive you will be to men.

Lily Zhang has been practicing the art of beauties since she was a child. It has been more than ten years ago and she has already achieved great success.

Coupled with her proud figure and appearance, few men can resist her.

Kevin Snow from the Golden Knife Sect was fascinated by her because of her charm skills.

She is confident that as long as Dustin has a hint of temptation or desire, she can seize the opportunity, break through the opponent’s inner defenses, and capture him completely.

“Hey, haven’t you had enough s*x? If you have had enough, go back and rest early, don’t hinder my sleep.”

Faced with Lily Zhang’s flirting, Dustin’s attitude Still cold, even with a bit of disgust on his face.

“Huh?”

Lily Zhang’s smile froze and she was a little unresponsive.

Her charm skills have always been tried and true. Even men with strong determination will have strange expressions as long as they are teased by her.

But Dustin has always been as cold as ice. Not only was he not aroused, but he also had a look of disgust.


She has never encountered this situation before.

“Senior Brother Dustin, I feel lonely and scared at night. Can you accompany me?” Lily Zhang pretended to be weak.

From the previous feeling of enchantment, it soon turned into pitiful.

“No.” Dustin said two words without politeness.

“Uh…” Lily Zhang’s eyes twitched and she couldn’t fix it.

Her charm skills have been used to the extreme. This man really has no desire at all!

At this moment, she could not help but begin to doubt her own charm.

She has always tried Uriah Atkins’s charm skills, but why did she have no effect on Dustin?

Could it be that…the other party doesn’t like women?

That’s right! That’s for sure!

Only a good man like Mickey Ellison would be indifferent to her.

No wonder she tried her best but couldn’t do anything to Dustin. It turned out that the other party had a special hobby.

“Senior Brother Dustin, in fact, our Twisted Sisters Sect not only has beautiful female disciples, but also some handsome male disciples. If you like them, I can call them over and let you choose as you like. “Lily Zhang smiled ambiguously, with an “I understand you” look.

“Huh?”

Dustin frowned, finally lost his patience, and said impatiently: “Lily Zhang, let me make it clear to you. I’m not interested in men, and I’m even less interested in you. I don’t care what plans you have, it’s best to give up your thoughts as soon as possible. Now, please leave immediately!”

The last words fell, Dustin’s b o d y With a slight shock, a powerful energy burst out, knocking Lily Zhang back a few steps and almost falling to the ground.

With a “bang”, Dustin slammed the door directly and went back to the room to sleep.

Lily Zhang, who had been rejected, her originally kind face quickly turned gloomy, and her eyes flashed fiercely.

She asked herself that she had tried her best, even betraying her appearance.

However, Dustin didn’t give her any face and kicked her out.

This is simply a naked humiliation!

“Okay! Since you don’t drink wine as a penalty, don’t blame us for being cruel!”

Lily Zhang slowly clenched her fists, and finally left angrily.

Chapter 2035 - Chapter 2040

Dustin Closed The Door And Was About To Go To Bed To Meditate When He Suddenly Saw A Woman In The Room.

The Woman Is Wearing A Hood And Veil, So Her Appearance Cannot Be Clearly Seen, But Her Eyes Are Very Lively.

Her Whole Body Exudes A Noble And Gentle Temperament, The Kind That Makes People Unable To Take Their Eyes Away From Her At A Glance.

The Person Who Came Was None Other Than Margaret.

“Huh? When Did You Come In?” Dustin Was Slightly Startled, A Little Strange.

He Had Been Entangled With Lily Zhang Just Now, And He Really Didn’t Notice Her.

“Senior Brother Dustin, I Feel Lonely And Scared At Night, Can You Accompany Me?”

Margaret Imitated Lily Zhang’s Coquettish Tone Before And Joked With A Smile.

“You Are The Princess Of A Country After All, Can You Be More Serious?” Dustin Rolled His Eyes.

“Giggle… Dustin, Dustin, I Didn’t Expect You To Be Quite Popular. There Are Beauties Taking The Initiative To Throw Themselves Into Your Arms.”

Margaret Couldn’t Help But Laugh Out Loud: “If It Were Me, I Would Have Just Gone With The Flow. , Anyway, Don’t Give It Up For Free, And You Won’t Be Suspected Of Having Any Special Hobbies.”

“Haha… Do You Think I Am Such A Casual Man?”

Dustin Smiled, And Poured Two Cups Of Tea. The First One The Cup Was Handed To Margaret: “Tell Me, Why Are You Looking For Me So Late At Night?”

“It’s Nothing, Just A Reminder That We Are Being Watched.”

Margaret Picked Up The Hot Tea, Blew It Gently, And Then Said : “When Uncle Wang Was Patrolling Just Now, He Found That Someone Was Sneaking Around The Hotel Where We Were Staying To Check The Situation. It Was Obvious That He Had Evil Intentions.”

“Oh? Really?”

Dustin Walked To The Window And Gently Lifted A Corner Of The Curtain. Peeking Out Through The Gap, He Saw Several Figures Wandering Around The Hotel.

As If Stalking.

“Who Are These People?” Dustin Asked Smoothly.

“It’s Not Clear Yet, But It’s Most Likely That They Are Paid To Do It. In Short, Be Careful Tonight And Don’t Get Plotted.” Margaret Took A Sip Of Tea.

“Hmph! You Dare To Take Advantage Of Us, You Are So Impatient!” Dustin Narrowed His Eyes Slightly.

From The Moment Lily Zhang Came To Visit, He Sensed Something Was Wrong.

Now, He Is Basically Certain That This Matter Has Nothing To Do With Lily Zhang.

…

At This Moment, On The Other Side, In A Private House With A Yard.

The Masters Of The Twisted Sisters Sect, Headed By Caroline Thorne, Were Gathering In The Main Room To Wait For The News.

After A While, Lily Zhang Walked In The Door With A Gloomy Face, Bowed To Caroline Thorne, And Said Helplessly: “Master, The Disciple’s Beauty Trap Has Failed. The Young Master Is So Incompetent That He Didn’t Put Me In Any Place At All.” In The Eyes.”

“To Become A Martial Arts Master, One’s Mental Perseverance Is Far Beyond Ordinary People. It Is Normal For Your Charm To Fail.”

Caroline Thorne Nodded, Not Too Surprised, And Continued: “You Don’t Have To Worry About This Matter. Come On, My Master Has Already Made A Follow-Up Plan, Which Is Guaranteed To Be Foolproof.”

“Oh? I Wonder What Master Plans To Do?” Lily Zhang Was A Little Curious.

“I Have Contacted Many Forces, Including The Golden Blade Sect, And Plan To Form An Alliance With Them To Win The Treasure Together. After Success, We Only Need The Spirit Beads, And The Rest Will Be A Small Profit. It Doesn’t Matter If We Leave It To Outsiders.” Caroline Thorne Said. Logan

“Good Idea!” Lily Zhang’s Eyes Lit Up: “If There Is Danger, Let Them Go First, And We Will Reap The Benefits. This Way We Can Avoid Losses And Maximize The Benefits.”

“It Is Not Enough To Combine Forces From All Parties To Ambush. To Be Sure, I Also Prepared Knockout Blow Powder, Specially Used To Deal With That Young Master.”

As Caroline Thorne Spoke, She Took Out A Black Porcelain Bottle From Her Arms And Sneered: “With This Treasure, Even The Young Master’s Abilities Will Be Of No Avail!”

Knockout Blow Powder Is A Colorless And Odorless Drug. , Is Very Famous In The World, Specializing In Restraining Martial Arts Masters.

As Long As He Is Hit By Knockout Blow Powder, No Matter How Strong The Master Is, His Hands And Feet Will Be Weak, Unable To Raise The Slightest Strength, And He Can Only Be Slaughtered By Others.

“I Didn’t Expect Master To Be Prepared In Advance. It’s Great!” Lily Zhang Looked Happy: “With This Bottle Of Knockout Blow Powder, Our Plan Will Be Foolproof!”

Among Margaret’s Team, Only Dustin Is The Most Threatening. Without The Other Party, The Others Are Not Of Concern.

“Master, The People From The Golden Blade Sect Are Here!”

At This Time, A Twisted Sisters Sect Disciple Came Into The Main Room To Report.

“Please Come In Quickly.”

Caroline Thorne’s Eyes Lit Up And She Signaled Her Disciples To Invite People Into The Room.

Soon, A Group Of More Than Ten People Walked Through The Door, Led By Twisted Sisters Sect Disciples.

The Leader Was A Sturdy Middle-Aged Man.

The Middle-Aged Man Was Carrying A Golden Sword, With A Rough Face And An Imposing Manner. He Carried A Powerful Pressure With Every Step, Forcing The Disciples Of The Twisted Sisters Sect To Retreat One After Another.

The Person Coming Is None Other Than The Leader Of The Golden Knife Sect, Reid Gang!

Afterwards, The Masters Of The Golden Blade Sect Followed, Including The Chief Disciple Kevin Snow.

“Master Reid, Long Time No See. How Are You?”

Caroline Thorne Smiled Slightly And Led Everyone Forward To Salute.

Reid Gang Was Better Than Her In Terms Of Strength And Prestige, So She Had To Be Polite.

“Master Thorne, You And I Are Old Friends, And The Disciples In The Sect Often Get Married, So There Is No Need To Say Polite Words. If You Need Anything, Just Ask, Our Golden Sword Sect Will Never Refuse!” Reid Gang Smiled Arrogantly.

Every Year, Twisted Sisters Would Give Him Two Beautiful Female Disciples To Enjoy, And At The Same Time, He Could Practice The Method Of Dual Cultivation.

Now That Twisted Sisters Is In Trouble, He Naturally Has To Help.

“Okay! With The Words Of Master Reid, I Feel Relieved!”

Caroline Thorne Nodded And Went Straight To The Topic: “The Main Purpose Of Inviting Master Reid Here This Time Is To Work Together And Win The Treasure Together. I Believe That Master Reid We Already Know That Apart From Our Two Families, There Is Another Force That Has Gained The Most From This Trip To The Death Desert.” Dustinrhys.In

“Are You Referring To The Team Led By Miss Margaret?” Reid Gang Raised His Eyebrows Slightly.

His Eldest Disciple, Kevin Snow, Has Already Fully Recounted His Experiences These Days.

He Had A Certain Understanding Of The Woman Surnamed Margaret And The Grandmaster Surnamed Dustin.

“That’s Right!”

Caroline Thorne Nodded And Lowered Her Voice: “The Things Our Two Families Got Can Only Be Regarded As Petty Profits. The Real Treasure Has Been Taken Away By The Woman Named Margaret. I Feel That We It Should Be Recaptured!”

“To Be Honest, That’s Exactly What I Meant. Southwest Is Our Territory, How Can We Let Outsiders Take Advantage Of It?”

At This Point, Reid Gang Suddenly Changed The Topic: “It’s Just That I Heard That The Grandmaster Surnamed Dustin Is Very Powerful, I’m Afraid It Won’t Be Easy To Deal With Him.”

According To Kevin Snow, Dustin Is Stronger Than Ralph Haynes, The Leader Of Flying Sect, Even If He Joins Forces With Caroline Thorne, He Will Not Be Able To Defeat Him. It Will Definitely Be Won.

“Don’t Worry, Master Reid, I Have Already Prepared.”

Caroline Thorne Smiled Slightly And Handed Over The Black Medicine Bottle In Her Hand.

“This Is… Knockout Blow Powder?”

After Taking A Closer Look, Reid Gang Couldn’t Help But Look Happy: “Okay, Okay! With This Bottle Of Treasure, And With The Combined Efforts Of You And Me, This Will Definitely Happen!”

Without Knockout Blow Powder, Reid Gang would not dare to act rashly. But now, with this bottle of treasure, together with the masters from the Golden Blade Sect and the Twisted Sisters Sect, it is enough to catch Dustin and others in one fell swoop.

“After everything is done, how about you and I share the proceeds equally?” Caroline Thorne asked with a smile.

“No problem!” Reid Gang agreed.

Naturally, he would not refuse such a good thing to gain the maximum benefit with the minimum risk.

“Wait!”

At this time, Kevin Snow, who was standing behind, suddenly said: “Master, Brother Dustin and Miss Margaret were once our partners, and they were also kind to us. It is inappropriate for us to plot against them now. Right?”

He has always been clear about grievances. If Dustin and Margaret hadn’t protected them during this trip to the desert of death, they might have died, let alone get so many treasures.

Now he started repaying kindness with hatred as soon as he came out. His behavior is really despicable.

“What’s inappropriate? We’re not close friends with them, and we can’t do anything too much.”

Reid Gang said righteously: “Besides, the jungle is the law of the jungle. They have stolen so many treasures, and they can’t control them at all. Even if we don’t take action, there will be other forces secretly coveting it, which may lead to death. But we only seek wealth, not life, which is already a gift to them.” “

But Master, you have taught us since childhood. We must be upright, with no shame in our hearts and no shame in heaven and earth, but look at what we are doing now, what is the difference between us and those despicable villains?” Kevin Snow argued with reason.

“Presumptuous!”

Reid Gang got a little angry and slapped Kevin Snow on the face, shouting: “You have become more and more bold after a few days of wandering around. You dare to talk back to my master. Have you let me, my master, go?” In your eyes?!”

“Master, I’m just telling the truth.” Kevin Snow was a little dissatisfied.

“You——!”

Reid Gang got angry and raised his hand to hit him, but Caroline Thorne stopped him and advised him: “Master Rong, calm down. Kevin Snow is just a child and not sensible. He should be educated more in the future.”

“Huh! I haven’t seen this kid for a while, and his wings are getting harder and harder!” Reid Gang said with a stern face.

“Master Reid, let me persuade him.”

Caroline Thorne winked and then smiled at Kevin Snow: “Kevin, this world is not as simple as you think. Not everything is right or wrong. The reason why your master is doing this is to strengthen the Golden Blade Sect and protect you disciples.

It is not easy for the Golden Sword Sect to develop to this point. Your master has shouldered too much. As the chief disciple, in the future, the Golden Sword Sect will Heir to the Sword Sect, you should understand your master.

No matter what your master does, he is always paving the way for you and considering the development of the Golden Sword Sect. I hope you can understand your master’s painstaking efforts.

In addition, I also express my gratitude here. Personally, after this event is completed, we will make every effort to prepare for the wedding of you and Lily, so that you two lovers can finally get married.

I will use part of the treasure obtained this time to give Lily as a dowry. You should not Will you refuse?”

At the end of the sentence, Caroline Thorne patted Kevin Snow on the shoulder with a meaningful smile.

“This…”

Kevin Snow was speechless for a moment and didn’t know how to respond.

Because he really likes Lily Zhang and hopes to get married soon.

Now that he heard Caroline Thorne’s statement, his firm belief could not help but be shaken.

“Senior Kevin, for me and for the sake of our two sects, will you agree?” Lily Zhang grabbed Kevin Snow’s arm and shook it gently, with a bit of coquettishness.

Kevin Snow opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but finally chose to remain silent.

“Senior Kevin, if you don’t say anything, I will take it as your promise!” Lily Zhang climbed up the pole.

“Kevin Snow, if you don’t like it, you don’t have to participate in this operation and go back to rest.” Reid Gang said coldly.

“Farewell, disciple!”

Kevin Snow bowed deeply and turned to leave.

After all, he still couldn’t go against his true intention and do something to repay kindness with hatred.

“Master Reid, you are a great disciple, you are too upright, I’m afraid you will suffer a loss in the future.”

Looking at Kevin Snow’s leaving figure, Caroline Thorne couldn’t help but sigh.

“This child has been like this since he was a child. Unless he has experienced some bloody lessons, he will not know the dangers of the world.” Reid Gang shook his head, looking a little helpless.

“Lily, if you have time, communicate more with your senior brother Kevin. From now on, we will be a family.” Caroline Thorne said.

“Disciple understands.” Lily Zhang nodded slightly.

Unable to seduce a genius like Dustin, she had no choice but to settle for Kevin Snow.

No matter what, Kevin Snow is considered a leader among the younger generation.

The most important thing is that the other party is easy to handle and she can control it better.

“Master Waylon, please tell me the specific plan. When will we start?” Reid Gang once again introduced the topic.

“There’s no rush now. It won’t be too late for us to take action when it’s late at night and they all fall asleep.” Caroline Thorne said with a smile.

She sailed the ten thousand year ship carefully, even if there were ten fragrant cartilages scattered in her hands, she would not dare to hold it in order to avoid any mistakes.

…

The night is getting darker.

The lights in every room in the hotel have basically been turned off.

Dustin sat on the bed, hiding in the darkness and closing his eyes to rest.

After being reminded by Margaret, he was already on guard.

Of course, he didn’t take ordinary thieves seriously.

“Phew!”

At this moment, a slight sound broke through the air suddenly from outside the window.

Dustin suddenly opened his eyes!

Immediately afterwards, there was only a “pop” sound, and a hidden arrow shot through the glass and was nailed to the wall of the room.

And at the end of the hidden arrow, there was a rolled up note hanging.

Dustin stepped forward, took off the note and looked at it. There were four big words written on it: “Be careful of ambush!”

Dustin turned around and glanced out the window, and a familiar figure flashed past.

“Kevin Snow?”

Dustin raised his eyebrows slightly, a little surprised.

He didn’t know the origins of the people who were sneaking around outside before.

Now it seems that it should be related to the Golden Knife Sect and the Twisted Sisters Sect.

Otherwise, Kevin Snow does not need to secretly send a signal to remind him.

No matter what, tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

In the early hours of the morning, a group of men in black began to approach the hotel as they surrounded them.

These people moved very lightly, without making any strange noise, like a pack of hunting wolves, cautious and hiding murderous intent.

At this moment, there were two members of the escort standing guard at the main entrance of the hotel.

However, due to the darkness under the lamp, the members of the escort were blocked from sight and did not notice anything strange around them.

“Hoo~!”

At this time, a gust of breeze blew by, bringing with it a faint smoke and a special fragrance.

The next second, the two escort members felt dizzy. Before they could react, their vision went dark and they fainted on the spot.

After taking down the two vigilant escort members, masters from the Golden Blade Sect and Twisted Sisters Sect wearing night clothes quickly surrounded the hotel.

In order to avoid alerting the enemy, the masters of the two sects did not directly launch a strong attack, but continued to use poison to explore the way.

They sprayed a stream of poison through the cracks in the doors and windows into every room in the hotel.

This kind of intoxicating medicine is a secret recipe of Twisted Sisters Sect. It is rare in quantity, but it is extremely effective. Once it is taken, even an innate warrior will lose the ability to move.

“Master Reid, how’s it going? Are you done?”

After administering the poison, the two forces met at the entrance of the corridor to exchange information.

“All these little fish and shrimps have been knocked down, and now only the Grandmaster named Dustin is left.” Reid Gang lowered his voice and spoke.

“I’ve already inquired. Dustin’s room is at the east end of the second floor. I’ll put out Knockout Blow Powder later. You can seize the opportunity and inflict heavy damage on him. Everything will be fine by then!” Caroline Thorne said softly.

“Understood.” Reid Gang nodded.

Caroline Thorne said no more, made a gesture, and then tiptoed upstairs with a few masters.

Reid Gang and others followed closely behind.

They left most of the warriors downstairs to deal with emergencies.

And those who can follow upstairs are all half-step master-level experts.

Reid Gang and Caroline Thorne are both martial arts masters, and together with six half-step masters, this force is more than enough to take on Simon Bishop, the best master in the southwest.

The group of people gathered their breath, walked up to the second floor quietly, and stood at the door of the easternmost room.

Caroline Thorne and Reid Gang looked at each other and nodded to each other. Caroline Thorne carefully took out a bamboo tube from her arms, then stretched it under the crack of the door and blew it gently.

“Hoo~!”

A stream of translucent smoke spurted out from the bamboo tube, poured into the room, and spread rapidly.

What is placed in the bamboo tube is Knockout Blow Powder. After being catalyzed by Caroline Thorne, it has turned into smoke, which is colorless and odorless.

Especially at night, it is even harder to detect.

After releasing the Knockout Blow Powder, Caroline Thorne and Reid Gang immediately took out the prepared masks and put them on their faces.

This kind of mask can not only cover your appearance, but also isolate the Knockout Blow Powder to prevent yourself from getting infected.

After waiting at the door for three minutes, when the effect of the medicine was fully exerted, Caroline Thorne suddenly made a gesture: “Break the door!”

Without any hesitation, Reid Gang kicked open the door and led several masters to kill Dustin first. Go in.

However, halfway through the rush, he was stunned by the situation inside.

Because he found that the entire room was actually empty!

“What’s going on? Where’s the person?”

Reid Gang’s eyes widened and he looked back at Caroline Thorne who followed the door.

Caroline Thorne was also confused, looking left and right, looking around, but saw no trace of Dustin.

“Master Caroline, are we looking for the wrong room?” Reid Gang asked with a frown.

“Impossible!”

Caroline Thorne refused: “I have sent Lily to investigate in advance. Dustin lives in this room.”

She has always been cautious, how could she make such a stupid mistake?

“If he lived in this room, why didn’t anyone see him? He wouldn’t go out to poop at night, right?” Reid Gang said angrily.

Damn, I was on tenterhooks all the way, but when I opened the door, I didn’t see any ghosts, and I wasted half a bottle of Knockout Blow Powder.

What a fuck.

“Hey, are you looking for me?”

A cold voice suddenly sounded from behind.

Several people were startled, and when they looked back, they found that at some point, there was another person at the door.

This is their target tonight, Dustin!

“You…why are you behind us?” Caroline Thorne was surprised and confused.

Dustin’s elusiveness made her feel inexplicably uneasy.

“I live next door, and when I heard some noise here, I naturally had to come over and take a look.” Dustin said calmly.

As soon as he said this, Reid Gang’s expression darkened, and he glanced at Caroline Thorne with an idiot look.

Didn’t you say you didn’t get the wrong room?

Grass! He lives next door!

What a pig teammate who succeeds more than fails!

Regarding Dustin’s answer, Caroline Thorne couldn’t help but start to doubt herself.

Could it be that she really made a mistake?

The fact is that Dustin changed rooms early just in case, and now it can be regarded as a mistake.

“What are you doing standing still? Take action!”

Caroline Thorne couldn’t help but let out a soft drink as she was unable to dismount.

Although my judgment was wrong, at this time, I had to bite the bullet.

“Kill!”

The two half-step master-level experts near the door pulled out their swords without any hesitation and slashed towards Dustin.

As the saying goes, strike first to gain strength, strike later and suffer disaster.

Such a close distance and a sudden attack would make it difficult for even a martial arts master to react without any precautions.

“Qiang! Qiang!”

The two men’s knives struck Dustin’s shoulders firmly.

Dustin stood motionless and was not hurt. On the contrary, the two men’s knives were so shocked that they broke on the spot.

“Ah?!”

Looking at the broken knife in their hands, the two of them were dumbfounded.

Their swords were so refined that they could cut iron like clay. However, when they struck Dustin, his skin was not even scratched.

How strong is the opponent’s protective aura?

“I don’t know whether to live or die!”

Dustin snorted coldly, raised his hand and slapped him twice.

“Bang! Bang!”

Just two explosions were heard, and the two of them flew dozens of meters away on the spot, smashed through the walls and windows, and finally fell heavily outside the hotel.

The bones all over his body were broken into pieces, blood spurted from his mouth and nose, and he was dying.
 
Chapter 2041 - Chapter 2044

“What?!”

Everyone was shocked when they saw two half-step master level experts being slapped away by Dustin.

After all, with the strength and foundation of the two just now, they are definitely capable of fighting against ordinary martial arts masters.

However, now, after just one meeting, the two of them were severely injured and on the verge of death.

This shows how terrifying Dustin’s strength is!

It seems that the opponent’s defeat of Ralph Haynes, the leader of Flying Sect, was not based on false rumors.

“Come together!”

Caroline Thorne and Reid Gang looked at each other and took action at the same time, attacking Dustin one from the left and the other from the right.

Caroline Thorne uses a short Twisted Sisters knife, which is mainly dexterous and cunning. The knife goes straight to the vital point, making it difficult for people to guard against it.

When used, it is like a butterfly passing through a flower, beautiful and dangerous.

Reid Gang used a golden sword. The sword cut iron like clay and blew hair to break it. It was a treasure passed down from the ancestors of the Golden Sword Sect.

And after being tempered and nurtured by three generations of masters, it can also increase your cultivation level when used. Especially when paired with the unique sword technique of the Golden Knife Sect, its power is doubled.

Every move carries immense power, as if it can open up the world.

Its power is so great that even those with stronger strength have to avoid the edge temporarily.


When Caroline Thorne and Reid Gang started to attack, the other half-step masters were not to be outdone and launched attacks one after another.

From all directions, they attacked Dustin together.

Facing the siege, Dustin suddenly stomped on the ground, and his whole body instantly rose into the sky, like a cannonball, directly hitting the roof and disappearing from everyone’s sight.

“Where did he go!”

The attack failed. Caroline Thorne and Reid Gang immediately stood up from the ground, crossed the hole in the roof, and chased outside.

The rest followed closely behind.

When the group of people chased them out of the hotel, they discovered that Dustin did not run away, but stood still in the yard and waited quietly.

“Surround them up!”

Caroline Thorne ordered.

The figures of several strong men immediately flashed and formed an encirclement again, trapping Dustin in it.

Dustin was unmoved by this, standing with his hands behind his back, his expression calm and indifferent, as if he didn’t take these people seriously at all.

In fact, the reason why he rushed out of the hotel just now was simply because the space was small and he couldn’t use it.

If you can’t hold back, it’s easy to accidentally injure friendly forces.

But it’s different now. The yard is very spacious and surrounded by walls, which is enough for a battle.

“You are from the Golden Blade Clan and the Twisted Sisters Clan, right?”

Dustin glanced around and said coldly: “I have no enmity with you, so why do you want to secretly kill me?”

“Huh?”

Dustin said. When his identity was revealed, several people couldn’t help but be secretly shocked.

They all had masks on their faces and were wearing night clothes. How did the other party recognize them?

“Everyone is innocent of the crime of harboring a jade. As long as you hand over all your treasures and are captured without restraint, we can spare your life!” Caroline Thorne said in a low voice.

“It turns out that they came here because of the treasure.”

Dustin shook his head: “Unfortunately, you are already late. All the treasures we obtained have been shipped out, and now we are penniless.”

“Peniless?” Caroline Thorne snorted coldly: “Do you think we will believe it?”

She has been sending people to keep an eye on the hotel secretly, and any troubles cannot be hidden from her eyes and ears.

She was certain that no one from Margaret’s team had left the village.

“Boy! If you are wise, hand over the treasure. It will be good for everyone. There is no need to lose your life in vain for some external possessions!” Reid Gang raised the golden knife and said with bright eyes.

“It seems that there is no way to be kind today.”

Dustin’s momentum gradually increased: “I don’t want to go on a killing spree, but if you are aggressive, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”

He doesn’t want to cause trouble, but he is not afraid of it either. .


If these people retreat now, he can pretend that nothing happened.

Otherwise, all you can see is blood.

“Huh! You’re stubborn!”

Caroline Thorne’s face darkened, and then she winked at Reid Gang and the others: “Do it!”

“Kill!”

After receiving the signal, Reid Gang shouted low, holding up the golden knife in both hands, and his whole body was agitated. He jumped up and struck Dustin on the head.

As soon as Reid Gang moved, Caroline Thorne seized the opportunity and immediately stepped forward, slashing at Dustin’s neck with the Twisted Sisters knife on the left and right.


With the two grandmasters taking the lead, the other strong men also used their methods, and various attacks kept coming at Dustin.


In an instant, Dustin became the target of public criticism.

In response to this, Dustin did not dodge, and his body shook violently.

“Boom~!”

There was a loud roar, and a powerful body-protecting energy burst out instantly, forming a translucent protective shield.

The protective shield swelled when exposed to the wind and spread rapidly. In the blink of an eye, it expanded to a radius of three meters, like a huge egg shell, protecting Dustin inside.

“Crack!”

Several people’s attacks hit Dustin’s protective shield, making a burst of explosions like fried beans, accompanied by a large number of sparks.

Whether it was Reid Gang’s golden sword, Caroline Thorne’s Twisted Sisters sword, or the attacks from others, they were all blocked by Dustin’s protective energy.

Didn’t hurt him at all.

“What?!”

Reid Gang’s pupils shrank, showing surprise.

He just struck the protective shield with his knife, which only caused the protective shield to vibrate a few times, but did not cause any substantial damage.

Without weapons, he was able to block his attack with just his inner cultivation.

This strength is really terrifying.

“Master Reid! Cover me, I have a way to break his protective energy!”

After the attack failed, Caroline Thorne immediately sent a message in a low voice.

Reid Gang glanced at Caroline Thorne, without hesitation, he raised his knife again and launched a crazy attack.

This time, he no longer held back and used all his strength.

The muscles all over his body increased dramatically, and the energy spurted out like a landslide and a tsunami.

The golden sword in his hand shone brightly and became extremely dazzling.

“Eighteen Styles of the Golden Sword!”

Reid Gang roared, waving the golden sword with both hands, and directly used the unique skill of the Golden Sword Sect.

There are eighteen styles of the Golden Sword, each one is stronger than the last, and its destructive power is extremely terrifying.

As long as he is allowed to fully display his power, he will be invincible. Even Simon Bishop, who is known as the best master in the southwest, will have to avoid his edge.

The only drawback is that it takes time to brew.

Of course, dealing with some warriors who are good at defense is the best choice.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

Reid Gang stabbed Dustin fiercely with one knife after another, causing ripples in circles.

“Ice Needle!”

Taking advantage of Reid Gang’s attention, Caroline Thorne suddenly reached out and flicked out a blue ice needle, directly piercing Dustin’s protective shield and shooting to the back of his head.

“Huh?”

Dustin raised his eyebrows, feeling alarmed.

He really didn’t expect that Caroline Thorne could actually break his body-protecting energy.

At this moment, he didn’t dare to be too bold, so he immediately pulled out the Sky Sword and blocked it behind him.

“Qiang!”

The blue ice needle hit the Sky Sword, instantly bursting open, and a blast of extremely cold air erupted.

This extremely cold air spread rapidly along the Sky Sword, swallowing Dustin’s entire arm in an instant.

Dustin’s arm and sword were directly blocked by ice, and his movement was temporarily blocked.

“Good opportunity!”

Caroline Thorne’s eyes lit up, and she immediately took out the remaining half bottle of Knockout Blow Powder and sprinkled it in Dustin’s face.

One hit!

When Caroline Thorne sprinkled the Knockout Blow Powder, Reid Gang’s Eighteen Styles of the Golden Sword had already reached its peak.

Every sword strike is extremely ferocious and unstoppable.

At this moment, Dustin’s body-protecting energy had been broken, and his right arm and sword were still frozen. Coupled with Reid Gang’s crazy attack, he could no longer avoid Caroline Thorne’s sneak attack and could only hold his breath subconsciously.

“Wow~!”

Knockout Blow Powder turned into white smoke, lingering around Dustin.

Although he held his breath in time, the white smoke penetrated everywhere, directly penetrated the skin and hair, and kept drilling into his body.

“Hmph!”

Dustin stomped his feet, causing the ground to sink three inches.

A powerful wave of energy instantly erupted centered on his body.

For a time, sand and rocks were flying, and the wind howled.

The Knockout Blow Powder was directly evaporated and destroyed, and Reid Gang’s continuous offensive was also washed away by the air waves, and the whole person was forced to take several steps back.

Caroline Thorne, on the other hand, was blown away more than ten meters by the air wave. After landing, she “kicked, kicked, kicked” and took several steps back before she could barely stabilize her body.

She felt as if a huge boulder was pressing on her chest, and her blood was surging even more.

Just an explosion of true energy was so powerful that she had to admit that Dustin was much stronger than she expected.

“You are so strong in inner cultivation. It seems that we have underestimated you.”

Caroline Thorne took a deep breath and a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth: “But it is a pity that it is useless no matter how powerful you are, because you have just been hit by ten Knockout Blow Powder, even if you hold your breath, Knockout Blow Powder can still penetrate into the body through your skin. Now, do you feel that your whole body is weak and the energy of the body is getting weaker and weaker?” “

Hahaha… Well done, Master Caroline!”

Hearing this, Reid Gang couldn’t help laughing out loud: “This kid is very weird. The true energy that just burst out is really powerful. Thanks to Master Caroline’s wit, she used Knockout Blow Powder, otherwise If we had a head-on confrontation, we might not be able to get a good deal.”

Just now, he had reached the peak of his strength with the Eighteen Golden Sword Styles, but in the end, he failed to capture Dustin and was knocked back by his powerful energy.

If the fight continues, he won’t get the slightest advantage.

Things were different now. Dustin had been poisoned by Knockout Blow Powder, and even if he had extraordinary abilities, he could not perform even a ten thousandth of it.

After all, Knockout Blow Powder was specially developed for martial arts masters and was extremely precious and rare.

The critical moment is enough to turn the tide!

“You think you can bring me down with just this little poison? If so, you are too naive!”

Dustin still stood firmly, expressionless.

“Haha… Stop pretending. You are at the end of your strength now. In a few moments, you may not even be able to stand up. If you know what to do, surrender immediately. Otherwise, you will only die!” Caroline Thorne said with a sneer.

“You’re right!”

Reid Gang held the golden sword on his shoulder and said with great momentum: “Boy, it’s really rare for you to have such cultivation at such a young age. We can’t bear to kill the genius, so we plan to give you a chance, as long as you are willing Surrender and hand over the treasure, and we will let you leave safely!”

“Hmph! That’s nice to say, but if I really hand over the treasure, I’m afraid I will be killed and silenced by you!” Dustin said coldly.

These so-called decent people from well-known families will do anything for the sake of profit.

Now that the treasure has not been obtained, the other party is still worried. Once it is actually handed over, he will immediately turn his back on him.

How can he be a person who keeps his word if he can commit murder and swindle goods?

“You have no choice now. You have to agree to our request. Otherwise, not only will you die, but everyone in this hotel will also die!” Caroline Thorne shouted sternly.

“From what you say, do you think you’re going to kill me today?” Dustin raised his eyebrows slightly.

“Otherwise? Why do you think I’ve been nagging you for so long? Isn’t it just to make the medicine work better? The longer it takes, the better it is for us, and you will only become weaker and weaker.” Caroline said triumphantly.

Although Dustin was hit by Knockout Blow Powder just now, his strength will not dissipate instantly. If he is too anxious to attack, he may be counterattacked by the opponent before his death.

It’s different now. The delay is enough for the medicine to take full effect.

The boy in front of her has become a piece of meat on her chopping board.

“Since you are so confident, why not give it a try?”

Dustin slowly raised his sword, pointing the tip of the sword directly at Caroline’s frown.

“Hmph! Pretend to be a ghost! I don’t believe you can make big waves!”

Caroline Thorne stepped forward suddenly, her whole body instantly turned into an afterimage, and she took the lead in attacking.

He turned his hands, and two arc-shaped mandarin duck knives immediately shot out, slashing toward Dustin’s neck like a hidden weapon.

Anyone with a keen eye will notice that there are two special steel wires hanging on the handles of the two Twisted Sisters knives.

“Headmaster Caroline! I’m here to help you!”

As soon as Caroline Thorne moved, Reid Gang was not far behind. He suddenly jumped up, holding up the steel knife in his hand, and slashed with force, and slashed at Dustin’s head.

The two of them moved in tandem, making deadly moves, and the timing of their attacks was so tacitly coordinated that it was difficult to look at the beginning and the end.

“Don’t overestimate your capabilities!”

Dustin flicked his wrist, and the Sky Sword swept away instantly.

“Whoosh!”

A half-moon-shaped black sword light shot out instantly.

The black sword light swelled when it encountered the wind, and spread to nearly ten meters in length in the blink of an eye. Like a huge death sickle, it enveloped Caroline Thorne and Reid Gang at the same time.

“Qiang! Qiang!”

Caroline Thorne’s Twisted Sisters Knife bore the brunt of the attack and was strangled into pieces by the sword light, as easily as cutting tofu with a knife.

“What?!”

Caroline Thorne’s expression changed, and she had no time to think. The huge sense of crisis made her body twist in the air.

While she was making dodge movements, the terrifying black sword light had already passed by her body.

Although there was no direct contact, the cold air on the sword still made her feel like she had fallen into an ice cellar, and she had goosebumps all over her body.

She was certain that if she hadn’t dodged in time, she would have been cut into pieces!

“Fuck!”

Although Caroline Thorne escaped, Reid Gang was in extremely dangerous danger.

Because he really didn’t expect that the sword light swung by Dustin, who was hit by Powder, would be so sharp and terrifying, as if it could destroy the world.

When he raised his sword to chop, his body was still in mid-air and he couldn’t dodge at all. He could only switch from offense to defense, protecting the golden sword in front of him, and at the same time activating the gang energy throughout his body to build a thick protective shield. .

“Bang!”

There was an explosion.

The sword light struck the golden sword fiercely, and the huge force directly bent the golden sword into a bow.

There are even the slightest cracks on the blade that has been tempered for thousands of times.

At the same time, the energy contained in the sword light exploded, passing directly through the golden sword and hitting Reid Gang’s chest heavily.

“Ah~!”

Reid Gang screamed, and was ejected ten meters away on the spot. A mouthful of blood spurted out high, spraying a mist of blood in the air.

Shocked everyone.
 

Chapter 2046​



“What?!”
Seeing Reid Gang being slashed away by a sword, the expressions of the other masters changed drastically and they were stunned.
Reid Gang is the head of the Golden Knife Sect, one of the five ultimate Grandmasters in the Southwest, and is extremely powerful.
It’s incredible that such a being can’t even block a sword beam.
How strong is this kid in front of me? !
“Wow~!”
After hitting the ground, Reid Gang’s body trembled, and he spurted out a mouthful of blood. His face was like gold paper, and he couldn’t stand up for a while.
“How… how is it possible? You… haven’t you been hit by Knockout Blow Powder?!”
Reid Gang raised his hand tremblingly and pointed at Dustin, his face full of disbelief.
He had seen clearly before that Dustin was indeed intoxicated by the smoke made from Knockout Blow Powder. By this time, the effect of the medicine should have been fully exerted.


Normally speaking, Dustin was at the end of his strength at this moment and couldn’t make any big waves at all.
However, the sword the opponent had just slashed was not only not weak at all, but also had the power to destroy the world.
It’s absolutely terrifying!
what happened?
Why was Dustin still able to exert such powerful strength after being hit by Knockout Blow Powder?
“Who told you that I was hit by Knockout Blow Powder?”

Dustin held the sword in one hand and looked coldly.

Not to mention his profound cultivation, he is not afraid of Knockout Blow Powder, just his invulnerable physique is enough to neutralize the effects of the medicine.
In this world, except for the ten strange poisons, there is no poison that can threaten his safety.
“You…you weren’t poisoned?” Reid Gang was shocked.
Looking left and right, his eyes finally settled on Caroline Thorne.
He couldn’t understand. Could it be that Caroline Thorne just missed it?
 

Chapter 2047​



“No! Impossible!”
Caroline Thorne immediately shook her head and objected: “I clearly saw that Knockout Blow Powder has invaded your skin. There is no way you will be unscathed. What tricks did you play?!”
Knockout Blow Powder has invaded your skin. Powder is different from ordinary poison smoke, but is specially developed for martial arts masters.

Just a little bit of it is enough to lower your cultivation level.

Dustin’s body-protecting energy had just been broken, and it was impossible to withstand Knockout Blow Powder.
Unless the other party has an antidote!
“I disappoint you. I am invulnerable to all poisons, and the poison of Knockout Blow Powder is useless to me.” Dustin said expressionlessly.
“What? Invincible to all poisons?!”
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked shocked.
They had calculated countless times, but they never expected that Dustin actually had the ability to ignore the effect of Knockout Blow Powder.
Is this guy human?
“You’re lying!”

Caroline Thorne shook her head crazily, not daring to accept it: “You’re immune to all poisons, it’s just fart! I’ve never heard of such a person in the world!”
“Believe it or not, I’m too lazy to nag you. , I will return all the words you gave me before. As long as you hand over the treasure, I will spare your life, otherwise, I will kill you without mercy!” Dustin said coldly.


Hearing this, everyone looked at each other in shock, as if facing a formidable enemy.
If Dustin was not poisoned, judging from the power of the opponent’s sword just now, it would be enough to wipe out all of them.
Today they are afraid that they will steal the chicken but lose the rice.
“Hmph! Don’t be bluffing! Don’t think I don’t know. That sword blow just now was just a reflection of your glory. Now, I’m afraid you have run out of gas!”
Caroline Thorne’s eyes were cold, as if I have seen through you appearance.

“Really? If you think I’m exhausted, you might as well step forward and give it a try.” Dustin said sarcastically.
 

Chapter 2048​



“You think I don’t dare?”
Caroline Thorne said with a gloomy face: “Master Reid! This guy is just showing off. Don’t be scared by him. If you help me again, we will definitely win!” “
…”
Reid Gang’s eyes twitched. He was so angry that I almost couldn’t help but curse her mother.
I’ve already been seriously injured and vomiting blood. Why the hell do you still want me to push you up? Are you really treating me like a villain?

Besides, looking at that kid’s lively appearance, how can he look like he’s running out of gas?
If another shocking sword attack breaks out, will I have to burp on the spot?
“Head Reid! You, the head of the Golden Sword Sect, are so powerful that you are afraid of this kid, are you?”
Seeing that Reid Gang didn’t respond, Caroline Thorne couldn’t help but resort to provocation.


If someone could take the lead for her, she would naturally not risk her own life.
“Master Caroline, I’ve been seriously injured. I’m afraid I won’t be able to fight anymore, so I can only fight for you from the side.”

Reid Gang coughed a few times, pretending to be weak and said: “Since you are sure that this boy is at the end of his battle, your Twisted Sisters Sect is strong enough to take him down, so I won’t do anything more.”

Damn it! If I want to fuck you, don’t use me as a scapegoat!

“Master Reid, don’t you believe what I say?” Caroline Thorne frowned.
“It’s not that I don’t believe it, it’s that I’m helpless.” Reid Gang covered his chest and started coughing violently again.
Obviously he doesn’t want to take any more risks.
“Okay! Since Master Reid refuses to take action, then we will come in person!”
Although Caroline Thorne was dissatisfied, she could not get angry. She could only order to the two Twisted Sisters Sect masters beside her: “You two come together, Attack from the front, I’ll wait for the opportunity from behind!”
“Ah?”
Hearing this, the two Twisted Sisters Sect masters’ expressions froze and they were a little panicked.
Even Reid Gang, the head of the Golden Knife Sect, was seriously injured by Dustin’s sword, let alone them?

If Dustin was really not poisoned, wouldn’t they be asking for death if they stepped forward now?
 

Chapter 2049​



“What? You don’t even listen to what I say?!” Caroline Thorne’s face darkened.
“Master, are you sure…that man is really poisoned?” A Twisted Sisters Sect expert asked tentatively.
“Nonsense! When did I deceive you? Hurry up and do it! If it drags on any longer, his strength will be restored soon!” Caroline Thorne urged.
The medicinal effect of Knockout Blow Powder cannot last long for a powerful martial arts master.


Dustin tried to get through by knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger, but she would definitely not give him this chance.
“Let’s fight!”
The two Twisted Sisters masters looked at each other and rushed towards Dustin with a bit of determination.
Caroline Thorne held the Twisted Sisters knife and stood still, waiting for the opportunity.
Whenever Dustin was even the slightest bit weak or tired, she would immediately rush forward and deliver a fatal blow!
“Die!”

Two Twisted Sisters masters, one on the left and one on the right, drew their swords at the same time and attacked Dustin’s upper and lower three roads at extremely fast speeds.
Dustin had no expression on his face and simply swung his sword forward.
“Whoosh!”
A half-moon-shaped black sword light shot out again, slashing at the two Twisted Sisters Sect masters with lightning speed.
This sword was so fast that even though the two Twisted Sisters masters were on guard, they couldn’t react at all.

They felt a flash of black light in front of their eyes, and the sword light had already passed through their neck, making no sound.
Weird and deadly.
The bodies of the two Twisted Sisters masters suddenly stiffened as they sprinted, then their bodies separated and their heads fell to the ground.
Those two pairs of wide eyes were staring directly in Caroline Thorne’s direction, as if they had untold grievances.
 

Chapter 2050​



Two Twisted Sisters masters were killed by Dustin with one sword, and they died with their eyes open.
Seeing the heads of the two elders rolling to the ground, Caroline Thorne’s eyelids jumped with fright, and cold sweat broke out instantly.
She always thought that Dustin was at the end of his game, and those harsh words just now were just a bluff.

But now, she truly realized how powerful Dustin was.
Being able to kill two half-step master-level masters with one sword was obviously not a sign of being hit by Knockout Blow Powder.
Could it be that the other party is really invulnerable to all poisons?
“Damn! Fortunately, I wasn’t impulsive just now, otherwise I would have been cold!” Reid Gang swallowed.
The eyes looking at Dustin were full of fear.
He has never encountered such a powerful person, who is in his twenties, but has such terrifying strength.
Even Simon Bishop, who is known as the number one man in the southwest, may not be able to get any advantage from the other party when fighting alone.
“You…how could you…”
Caroline Thorne was too shocked to speak complete words, and her body began to tremble slightly.
The two swords that Dustin just slashed were really terrifying.

The first sword severely wounded Reid Gang, the leader of the Golden Knife Sect.

The second sword directly killed two half-step master-level masters.
With just two sword blows before and after, he easily broke the situation and forced her into danger.
For a moment, she didn’t know what to do.
“You are very clever. If you don’t do it yourself, you will let two subordinates die in vain. You are really the leader.”
Dustin held the sword in one hand and began to slowly approach forward.
“Go to hell!”
Caroline Thorne suddenly waved her sleeves as if facing a formidable enemy, and took the lead in attacking.
“Whoosh whoosh…”
A large number of hidden weapons shot out, pressing towards Dustin like a violent storm.
Among these hidden weapons, there is also an ice needle.

The Ice Divine Needle is a treasure passed down from the ancestors of the Twisted Sisters Clan. It has huge destructive power and also has a freezing effect.

Even a martial arts master, if he is hit by the ice needle, his meridians will be immediately sealed and his body will freeze.
It’s just that the number of Ice Needles is too small, only three in total.
She had used one years ago when she was in danger.
In order to break Dustin’s protective energy, she used the second one just now.
Now, it was the last one and her only chance to make a comeback.

As long as this ice needle hits Dustin, she can still turn defeat into victory.
So what if it is invulnerable to all poisons?
In front of the Ice Divine Needle, it was still in vain.
“Whoosh!”
Facing the many hidden weapons coming towards him, Dustin didn’t waste any time, raised his hand and struck out with another sword.
The black sword light ejected again, cutting many hidden weapons into powder with a devastating force.
However, just as the black sword light swept across, a blue ice needle emitting a faint light, like a spiritual snake emerging from the water, bizarrely penetrated the sword light and shot towards Dustin’s eyebrows.
“You are so proud to die under my ice needle!”
Seeing this scene, Caroline Thorne couldn’t help but sneer at the corner of her mouth.
The Ice Divine Needle specializes in breaking through all kinds of aura, so it can easily penetrate the sword light.

At this time, Dustin had already swung a sword and was unable to make any dodge movements. Coupled with the special ability of the Ice Divine Needle to break the true energy, as long as it hit the target, it would basically be a one-hit kill!
So Caroline Thorne decided that Dustin would definitely die!
“Huh?”
At the critical moment, Dustin frowned, raised his hand like lightning, and clamped the ice needle that was close at hand with two fingers.
Just a little bit, almost hit.
I have to admit that this hidden weapon is really weird, silent and hard to guard against. It can also ignore the sword’s slashes and can only be captured with physical strength.
If he didn’t have keen perception, he might not be able to catch it.
 

Chapter 2051​


Moreover, even if the ice needle is clamped, the coldness emanating from it still penetrates deep into the bone marrow.
Dustin’s fingers and arms began to freeze at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Any frozen location cannot even lift a trace of true energy.
It is not an exaggeration to say that if this thing were shot into the body, it would be frozen directly into an ice sculpture, and no matter how deep the cultivation level was, it would be of no use.
Although he didn’t take Caroline Thorne and the others seriously, the methods the other party used surprised him.

First came the Knockout Blow Powder, followed by the Ice Divine Needle, and various killing moves emerged in endlessly.
If it weren’t for the suppression of his realm, he really wouldn’t necessarily have gotten a good deal.
Sure enough, you can’t underestimate any enemy, maybe one day you will capsize in the gutter.
“Crash~!”
Dustin’s body shook, and the ice on his arms shattered and fell to the ground.
“How is that possible?!”
Caroline Thorne was startled, with a look of horror on her face.
The situation just now was a fatal situation. Normally, no one could react.

Not only was Dustin fine, he even clamped the Ice Divine Needle.

She really couldn’t understand how the other party did it?
“You like sneak attacks so much, don’t you? Then I’ll give it back to you!”
Dustin narrowed his eyes and flicked his finger.
Hearing a soft cry, the ice needle on his fingertips shot towards Caroline Thorne at a faster speed.
Unlike Caroline Thorne’s silent attack, the ice needle reflected back by Dustin was extremely overbearing and had the sound of wind and thunder.
Wherever it passes, it is destroyed, and nothing can stop it.
Caroline Thorne screamed in fright, and quickly took out two short knives and held them in front of her chest.
“Bang!”
There was an explosion.
The Ice Divine Needle easily shot through the two daggers, and then hit Caroline Thorne hard on the chest.

Immediately afterwards, Caroline Thorne felt as if she had been hit by a train, and was instantly ejected more than ten meters away. Blood spurted from her mouth and nose, and her face was ashen.
If she hadn’t been wearing protective soft armor, the injection just now would have been enough to kill her.
However, even if she was not dead, the terrifying power carried by the Ice Divine Needle and the special power of true energy still caused her to be seriously injured and her meridians were damaged.

That look was a bit more miserable than Reid Gang’s.
“You…who are you?!”
Caroline Thorne was half lying on the ground, barely supporting her heavy body with her arms.
In addition to shock, the charming face still showed fear.
Dustin’s strength far exceeded her expectations.
The coercion displayed by the opponent and the power to destroy the world have exceeded the limits of a master.
Even Simon Bishop, the top master in the southwest, cannot reach this level, let alone such terrifying oppression.
A terrible thought suddenly came into her mind.
Could it be that this guy in front of me has reached the realm of a ultimate Grandmaster? !
A grand master in his twenties…is he still a human being? !
“It doesn’t matter who I am, what’s important is that you shouldn’t have murderous intentions.”
As Dustin spoke, he slowly raised the Sky Sword.
“Don’t… don’t kill me!”
“Lead a line in your life so that we can meet again in the future.”
“As long as you promise to let me live,
I will immediately give up the Twisted Sisters’s treasures!”
Caroline Thorne panicked and began to beg for mercy in various ways. .
“I gave you a chance, but you didn’t cherish it. In that case, don’t blame me for being cruel.”
Dustin was unmoved. Just when he was about to strike with a sword, he suddenly remembered the sharp shout.

“Stop! If you dare to act recklessly, I will kill this woman immediately!”
 

Chapter 2052​



“Stop! If you dare to mess around, I will kill this woman immediately!”
A sharp shout sounded from behind.
Dustin looked back and saw a group of masters from Twisted Sisters and Golden Knife Sect holding Margaret hostage and walking out of the hotel.
Lily Zhang’s knife was placed on Margaret’s neck, and her eyes were particularly fierce.
Dustin frowned slightly, murderous intent began to brew secretly.

He finally figured out that the sudden attack on Twisted Sisters and Golden Knife Sect tonight was most likely related to Lily Zhang.
This woman is really incorrigible.
When she was besieged by the Fantasy Sea Alliance, Lily Zhang would have died if Margaret hadn’t come to the rescue.
Now, it’s good that the other party didn’t know how to be grateful, but actually returned the favor and put a knife on Margaret’s neck.
Damn it!
“Why are you still standing there? Put down the sword!”
Lily Zhang carefully hid behind her, with the blade in her hand close to Margaret’s carotid artery.
She knew that Dustin had feelings for Margaret and would definitely not leave her alone.
“Bang!”
Dustin threw the Sky Sword directly to the ground without hesitation.
To deal with these people, it doesn’t matter whether you have a sword or not.
“Kick the sword over and pay attention!”
Lily Zhang ordered again.
Dustin nodded and kicked the hilt of the sword.
The Sky Sword slid against the ground for tens of meters, and finally stopped in front of Lily Zhang.
Seeing this scene, everyone couldn’t help but let out a long sigh of relief.
The power of the swords that Dustin had just wielded was so terrifying that even the two masters could not withstand them.


If the opponent has a sword in hand, all of them combined are just moths drawn to the flame.
Only after Dustin’s sword was removed, their uneasiness became somewhat calmer.
“Okay, okay! You are indeed my good apprentice, you did a great job!”
Seeing that there was a hostage in hand, Caroline Thorne couldn’t help but look overjoyed.
Just now she thought she was going to die, but at the critical moment, Lily Zhang took hostages and stepped forward to save her from danger.

Sure enough, she had not raised this apprentice in vain.
“Master, are you okay?”
Lily Zhang asked aloud.
“You can survive as a master.”
Caroline Thorne stood up staggeringly and stared at Dustin with piercing eyes: “This kid is very weird. You must not take it lightly.”
“Master, just don’t worry, as long as I have this woman in hand, Even Dustin can’t make any big waves!” Lily Zhang said confidently.


As the saying goes, it is difficult for a hero to be a beauty. No matter how strong Dustin is, he still has corresponding weaknesses.
And Margaret is the opponent’s weakness.
“Lily Zhang, you are playing with fire and burning yourself.”
Dustin said coldly: “I advise you to release the person immediately, so that you can save your life. Otherwise, you will definitely die today!” “
You dare to threaten me? “
Lily Zhang stretched the knife in her hand forward a little, and shouted: “Now that your woman is in my hand, I will let you go east, and I will let you go west. Why do you fight with me?”
” Do you really think you have a chance to win?” Dustin narrowed his eyes slightly.
“Otherwise?”

Chapter 2053​



Lily Zhang smiled coldly: “Now that I have a hostage in hand, I don’t believe you dare to mess around!”
“You will regret your behavior.”
Dustin glanced at Margaret who was being held hostage, and did not act rashly .
“Master Reid, I heard that your Golden Sword Sect has a secret method that can seal a person’s eight extraordinary meridians. Now, please take action and control this person first.” Lily Zhang spoke loudly.
Although Dustin lost his sword, his advanced cultivation was still hard to resist.

She must seal his meridians and curb his cultivation, so that she can have some sense of security in her heart.
“You two, go up and try.”
Reid Gang turned around and winked at the two Golden Blade Sect elders behind him.
“Ah?”
The two of them swallowed and became nervous instantly.
The fate of the Twisted Sisters Sect before was still fresh in their minds. If they stepped forward now, wouldn’t it be a narrow escape from death?
“Why are you panicking? We have a hostage in hand, and he definitely doesn’t dare to resist!” Reid Gang encouraged.
The two Golden Blade Sect elders looked at Margaret who was being held hostage, and then at Dustin who was motionless. After hesitating for a few seconds, they finally bit the bullet and walked up.

Now in this situation, they are in a difficult position.
If Dustin is not dealt with, let alone snatching the treasure, he may even lose his life.
No matter what, they had to give it a try.
As long as Dustin’s eight extraordinary meridians are sealed, the opponent will become a useless person and no longer a threat.
“Dustin, don’t worry, just take action.”
At this time, Margaret suddenly spoke.
Naturally, she didn’t want Dustin to take risks for herself. Besides, in a situation like this, she had plenty of ways to escape.
“Shut up! You bitch, if you dare to say another word, be careful I’ll scratch your face!” Lily Zhang shouted sternly.
“Miss Zhang, you made a fatal mistake. You thought you were holding me hostage. In fact, I was just playing with you. But now, I have lost interest.” Margaret said lightly.

As she spoke, she formed a seal with one hand and said secretly: “Hidden!”
As she said the word “hidden”, Margaret suddenly disappeared, as if she had evaporated out of thin air.

“What happened? Where is the person?”
“Strange! How come the person who was here just now disappeared in the blink of an eye?!”
The sudden change shocked everyone.
Especially Lily Zhang, her eyes widened in disbelief.
The knife in her hand was still in the air, but the hostage in her arms had disappeared.
“Look! She’s there!”
At this moment, a sharp-eyed person suddenly pointed at the door of the hotel.
Everyone followed the sound and saw a beautiful figure walking slowly, it was Margaret.
It’s just that her current location is dozens of meters away from Lily Zhang and her party.
“No! Catch her quickly!”
Lily Zhang’s expression changed and she shouted quickly.
The experts from the Twisted Sisters Sect and the Golden Sword Sect did not dare to hesitate and immediately swarmed up and rushed toward Margaret.
They knew very well that once they lost this hostage, Dustin would be a tiger out of the cage, unstoppable.
“Uncle Wang.”
Facing the besieging pack of wolves, Margaret just said two words lightly.
“Old slave is here!”
A loud shout was heard.
An old man with a stooped figure jumped down from the second-floor window and stood firmly in front of Margaret.
At this moment, Uncle Wang changed his honest look before, his eyes became particularly sharp, his whole aura was fully activated, and his whole body was covered with a layer of blood.

That’s a ferocious aura that has been condensed to the extreme!
Like abyss and like a devil!
Shocking!
“Anyone who offends my young lady will die!”
Uncle Wang took a deep breath, raised his right palm high above his head, and then smacked it down.
Boom!
In an instant, the sky and the earth changed color, and thunder exploded.
A huge red palm shadow suddenly descended in the sky, and then pressed heavily on everyone like a mountain.

When the palm shadow is pressed down, the house shakes, the ground cracks, and the big tree breaks.

It can be said that it is overwhelming and nothing can stop it!
Before most of the martial arts masters could react, the shadows of their palms were suddenly pressed down and turned into blood mist.
No bones left!
With just one palm, most of the masters from the Twisted Sisters Sect and the Golden Sword Sect were killed or injured!
 
Chapter 2054


After a palm strike, Uncle Wang stood majestically, as if a god had descended into the world, with unparalleled domineering and majesty.
In front of him, a five-finger deep pit with a diameter of thirty to forty meters appeared out of thin air!
The pit was full of broken limbs and broken arms, with flesh and blood flying everywhere. There was not a single complete skeleton in sight. It was like a hell on earth.
This is the power of Uncle Wang’s palm.
With one palm strike, not only was a five-finger-shaped pit dug out of the ground, but many martial arts masters under the palm also died and turned into flesh.
Although the remaining few people were lucky enough to survive, they were blown several meters away by the palm wind and fell to their knees.
However, when they stood up again, they were stunned by the sight before them.
Especially the tragic situation in the five-finger-shaped pit made the survivors’ scalps numb, cold sweat breaking out, and silence.
Most of the masters of the Twisted Sisters Sect and the Golden Sword Sect, from the elders to the deacons, were all lost in an instant!
“I…did I read that correctly? How is this possible?!”
“Dead… all dead… dozens of masters from the two sects were slapped to death with one palm. Is this still a human being? This is clearly a devil!”
“The Twisted Sisters Sect Gate and the Golden Blade Gate…are in danger!”
More than a dozen survivors stood frozen on the spot, looking horrified and trembling.

The power of Uncle Wang’s palm left them with no courage to fight, leaving only fear in their hearts.
“Grand Master? This old man is actually the Grand Master?!”
Reid Gang’s eyes widened and his lips began to tremble.
The palm that Uncle Wang just took was like a divine punishment coming to the world. It was unrivaled and not something that ordinary masters could achieve.
Only a great master who stands on top of the world can reach such a terrifying level.
Dustin was already extremely difficult to deal with. Unexpectedly, an unheard-of great master would appear now.
Encountering two top experts in a row, I really don’t know if they are lucky or unlucky.
“thump!”

Tao Mochou collapsed on the ground, her face ashen.
At this moment, she was completely desperate.
At this moment, she was completely desperate.
There is a wolf in front of her and a tiger behind her. She has no way to escape now and can only sit and wait for death.
“No…impossible! Absolutely impossible!”
Lily Zhang was so frightened that she backed away and shook her head, her pretty face full of fear and horror.
She never imagined that the obedient old servant beside Margaret would actually be a legendary martial arts master!

He could make Dustin, a peerless talent, a bodyguard, and a great master a servant.
That woman…what is her identity? !
“Miss, there are still some fish that have slipped through the net. Can we deal with them together?”
Uncle Wang’s sharp eyes swept over the dozen survivors one by one.
Anyone who came into contact with his gaze felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar and shivered inexplicably.

Nowadays, they are just fish on the chopping board and can only be slaughtered by others.
“Don’t… don’t kill me! I know I was wrong! I will never dare to do it again! Please forgive me, please, and let me go!”
Reid Gang panicked and fell to his knees with a “thud” and began to howl for mercy.
Facing Dustin, he felt that he still had the courage to fight, but the appearance of Uncle Wang directly made him despair. He no longer had any unnecessary thoughts in his heart, except begging for mercy to survive.
“Spare your life! My hero, please spare your life!”

With Reid Gang taking the lead, the others also knelt down and kowtowed in various ways.
“You know you’re afraid now? Why did you go so early?”
Uncle Wang’s face was cold and murderous.
He had no sympathy for these guys who were trying to kill people and sell goods.
“We are ignorant and have offended a few of you. We are willing to hand over all the treasures and ask you to let us live!” Reid Gang cried sadly and kept kowtowing.
At this moment, he no longer has the dignity of the leader of the Golden Knife Sect.

“That’s all, we didn’t lose much, so we don’t need to kill them all.” Margaret said calmly.
 
Chapter 2055

“yes.”
Uncle Wang responded, his momentum instantly restrained, and he retreated behind Margaret honestly.
Back hunched, head lowered, submissive, he became an inconspicuous old servant again.
If they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, no one would have believed that the unknown old man in front of them turned out to be a powerful master.
“Thank you, Miss Margaret! Thank you, Miss Margaret!”

Seeing that they were expected to survive, everyone looked overjoyed and kowtowed in thanks.
“Don’t be too happy too early. Although I won’t kill you, it doesn’t mean I will let you go. You people can escape death penalty, but you cannot escape living penalty.”
Margaret said in an indifferent tone: “Uncle Wang, seal their acupuncture points, tie them up, and hand them over to the Zhenwu Division for disposal.”
“What? Zhenwu Si?!”
Upon hearing this, everyone panicked.
The Zhenwu Division is the official organization of the Dragon Kingdom, which is specially used to manage people in the martial arts world. All major martial arts alliances and various sects must obey the orders of the Zhenwu Division.
Anyone who commits great crimes will be captured and imprisoned by the Zhenwu Division.
For various sects, Zhenwusi is definitely a terrifying existence.

“Miss Margaret! Please let us go and don’t alert the Zhenwu Division!”
“Once we are captured in the Zhenwu Division, we may never be able to get out!”
Everyone cried and howled and began to kowtow and beg for mercy.
The Zhenwu Division imprisons all kinds of extremely vicious people in the world. Once they enter, it can be said that they have a narrow escape from death.
It would be fine if you only commit a small crime and you only need to suffer some physical pain. If you do something outrageous, you will suffer all kinds of torture and your life will be worse than death.
“Tie them up!”
Uncle Wang ignored everyone’s pleas for mercy, and immediately stepped forward, sealing everyone’s eight meridians, and then ordered the members of the escort team to tie up all the survivors of the two sects.
“Miss Margaret, wait!”

Reid Gang said wisely in his haste: “It will not do you any good to capture us into the Zhenwu Division, but as long as you let us go, we will only follow your lead in the future! We are at your disposal!”
“That’s right, that’s right! We are willing to serve you as your sole authority and wait for your orders!”
“That’s right, that’s right! We are willing to serve you as your sole authority and wait for your orders!”
The others nodded in agreement.
They have no other choice now. If they want to survive, they can only surrender.
“Oh, is it so?”
Margaret raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Dustin: “What do you think of this proposal?”
“Their strength is only so-so. It’s not bad to use it for your own use. But in terms of loyalty, it can be ignored. How to do it is up to you?” Dustin shrugged, as if it didn’t matter to him. Hanging look.

According to his style, he might just kill them all, and there would be no need to alert the Zhenwu Division.
However, even though Margaret had spoken, it was hard for him to refute her face.
“Don’t worry about loyalty, I have a way to control them.”
Margaret winked, and Uncle Wang quickly understood. He took out a medicine bottle from his arms and gave everyone a poison.


Poison is a royal secret, specially used to control spies and prevent defections.
People who are poisoned must take the antidote every month, otherwise they will suffer the pain of being eaten away by thousands of insects.
“I will give you a chance to live, but I hope that from now on, you can change your mind and start a new life.” Margaret glanced around.
“No problem, no problem! We will definitely change our ways and never do anything harmful to nature again!” Reid Gang nodded repeatedly.
Naturally, the others did not dare to refuse.
“so be it.”
Margaret said no more and waved his hand to signal everyone to leave.
“Thank you Miss Margaret!”
If everyone was granted amnesty, they got up and ran away.
“etc!”
Dustin suddenly stood in front and said with an indifferent expression: “You can leave, but she can’t!”
As he spoke, he slowly pointed at Lily Zhang.
 
Chapter 2056
,
“I?”
Lily Zhang was stunned when Dustin pointed at him, and subconsciously asked: “Why?”
We were having a good conversation just now, but why did we suddenly change our minds?
“Because I hate people who repay kindness with hatred. Is this okay?” Dustin said coldly.
He has always looked down on Lily Zhang’s behavior, but because the other party did not affect him before, he turned a blind eye.

But it’s different now. If Lily Zhang hadn’t been a hindrance, why would there be today’s trouble?
If they were not strong enough, they might have been killed and cheated.
So he couldn’t forgive Lily Zhang for what he did.
“Senior Brother Dustin, please listen to my explanation. This matter has nothing to do with me. I am also forced to have no choice!”
Lily Zhang panicked and looked pitiful.
“It has nothing to do with you? We are forced to do nothing? There are only a few people who know that we have treasures. If it is not you, who else can it be? Who can be associated with the Yuanyangmen and the Golden Knife Sect?” Dustin asked.
“It’s not me…it’s really not me!”
Seemingly thinking of something, Lily Zhang said quickly: “It’s Kevin Snow! Kevin Snow is behind it, adding fuel to the fire. I’m just following orders. If you have any dissatisfaction, go find trouble with Kevin Snow. It’s none of my business!”
Empty sophistry is hard to convince, and a scapegoat must be found.
Now that Kevin Snow is not present and is involved in this matter, he is the most suitable candidate to take the blame.
“Um?”
Hearing the word Kevin Snow, Reid Gang couldn’t help but frown slightly, but didn’t say anything.
In the current situation, it is not suitable to be a leader. The best way is to protect yourself wisely.
“Kevin Snow?”
Dustin smiled coldly: “Do you think I’m an idiot? If it has something to do with Kevin Snow, why isn’t he here now?”
Not to mention that Kevin Snow had secretly sent him a secret message before, even if he hadn’t, he would not have suspected Kevin Snow.
“He just saw that the situation was not good and had already escaped!” Lily Zhang continued to quibble.
“Really? Since Kevin Snow has escaped, you will bear the blame. If you don’t die, I will feel uneasy.”
Dustin looked indifferent and grabbed the Cangqiong Sword in the distance.
Dustin looked indifferent and grabbed the Cangqiong Sword in the distance.

With a “swish” sound, the Cangqiong Sword lying dozens of meters away instantly turned into a black light and returned to Dustin’s hands.
“Don’t…don’t kill me…”
Lily Zhang panicked and begged repeatedly: “As long as you spare my life, I can do anything you ask me to do. I can work as a cow or a horse for you, as a slave!”
Seeing that Dustin was unmoved, Lily Zhang looked at her master Caroline Thorne and cried: “Master, please beg for me! I’m still young and I don’t want to die yet!”
“well……”
Facing the disciple’s call for help, Caroline Thorne just sighed and did not dare to say anything.
Now that she can’t protect herself, she still has the ability to care about the life and death of others.
“If I had known today, why bother? It’s time to hit the road!”
dahlia stopped talking nonsense and just raised his sword to strike.
“Keep someone under the sword!”
Suddenly, a loud shout sounded outside the hotel.

Dustin raised his brows and looked sideways, only to see Kevin Snow running towards this side in a hurry.
While running, he yelled: “Save someone under the sword! Save someone under the sword!”
Kevin Snow rushed forward as fast as he could and stood in front of Lily Zhang. He opened his hands like a hen protecting her cubs and begged nervously: “Brother Dustin! Zhang is just confused for a moment. Please don’t remember the child.” If someone passes by, open the net and spare her life!”
“Brother Kevin, this woman has a heart of snakes and scorpions, why do you want to protect her?” Dustin frowned slightly.

He somewhat admired Kevin Snow’s character and style, so he didn’t want him to get stuck in the quagmire.
“Brother Dustin! Zhang is my fiancée. I have the responsibility to protect her. Please consider our mutual treasure hunt and let her go!” Kevin Snow knelt on the ground directly.
“Brother Kevin, do you know that she just put all the blame on you? It’s okay to not want such an ungrateful woman!” Dustin said.
“Brother Dustin! All the mistakes are my fault. I didn’t persuade Qing Qing to stop. If you want to kill me, kill me. I am willing to atone for Qing Qing’s sins!” Kevin Snow said seriously.
“What’s the matter with you?” Dustin was a little helpless.
I have seen infatuated people, but I have never seen such infatuated people.
Even though he knew that Lily Zhang had been using him, he still defended him so wholeheartedly.
It’s really hopeless.
“Brother Dustin! I have never begged anyone before, so I am begging you this time!”
“Brother Dustin! I have never begged anyone before, so I am begging you this time!”
Kevin Snow leaned down and ink knocked his head heavily on the ground.
“That’s all, for your sake, I will spare her life today.”
Dustin shook his head and finally put down the Sky Sword.
“Thank you, Brother Dustin!” Kevin Snow looked grateful.

“Thank you, Senior Brother Dustin, for not killing me!” Lily Zhang looked overjoyed.

“Don’t be too happy yet. Although I won’t kill you, it doesn’t mean I will let you go easily.”
As soon as Dustin finished speaking, he hit Lily Zhang in the abdomen with a palm from the air.
Lily Zhang groaned, took a few steps back, then his knees gave out, and he collapsed directly on the ground, bleeding from his mouth and nose.

“You…you actually ruined my cultivation?!” Lily Zhang covered her abdomen, shocked and angry.
“If I don’t destroy you, won’t you have to do evil again in the future?”Dustin said matter-of-factly.
Lily Zhang gritted her teeth, not daring to speak out in anger.
“Go away!” Dustin snorted coldly.
“Zhang, let’s go!”
Kevin Snow did not dare to hesitate and immediately supported Lily Zhang and left with one staggering step.
“Let’s all disperse!”
Margaret waved his hand, and the survivors of the two sects immediately dispersed.
The turmoil in the hotel alarmed many forces.
However, when they saw the masters from Twisted Sisters Sect and Golden Knife Sect fleeing, their scalps were numb with fear.
Being able to suppress so many masters of the two sects is enough to prove that there are unfathomable powerful people hiding in the hotel.
Anyone who dares to be greedy will undoubtedly be seeking death.
After the storm, it was a peaceful night.
The next day, early morning.
Dustin had just gotten up when a shocking news suddenly reached his ears.
 
Chapter 2057


“Dong dong dong…”
In the early morning, Dustin heard a knock on the door as soon as he got up.
When he opened the door, he saw Margaret standing outside with a breakfast in his hand.
Soy milk, steamed buns, fried dough sticks, tea eggs, etc. are all available.
“Let’s have something to eat first. I want to talk to you about something.”

Margaret smiled slightly, put breakfast on the table, and then found a chair to sit down.
“Thanks.”
Dustin was not polite. After sitting down next to him, he started eating and drinking.
Although it is some ordinary food, it tastes surprisingly good.
“If you have anything to say, just say it, I’ll listen.”
Dustin took the initiative to ask while chewing on the fried dough sticks.
“This morning, I received some news. Taken together, there are three main things.”
Margaret stood up and brewed two cups of fragrant tea, one for himself and one for Dustin, and then continued: “The first thing is, Longhu Mountain has been experiencing frequent strange phenomena in recent days. My people suspect that it is Because of the dragon’s energy!”
“Oh?” Dustin raised his eyebrows slightly and said thoughtfully: “Longhu Mountain is a blessed place. It is not surprising that it can attract the energy of the dragon source.”
“The second thing is that there is news that a martial arts competition will be held in Longhu Mountain in five days. The winner will get the secret treasure of the Heavenly Master!” Margaret spoke again.
“A martial arts tournament?” Dustin was a little surprised: “Longhu Mountain has always been low-key and not concerned about worldly affairs. Why is it holding a martial arts tournament this time? In addition, what is this Heavenly Master’s secret treasure?”
“That’s what I’m curious about.”
Margaret took a sip of tea and said: “Longhushan has never interfered with Jianghu affairs, but this time it did the opposite. It is really surprising, and all forces in the Jianghu are also very shocked by this.
As for the Celestial Master’s secret treasure, no one knows about it. The only thing that is certain is that the thing that Longhu Mountain attaches so much importance to is definitely not a mortal thing.

So as soon as the news came out, all forces went straight to Longhu Mountain. “
There are only two places that can make the royal family fearful.
One is Xiliang Prince’s Mansion, and the other is Longhu Mountain.
One is Xiliang Prince’s Mansion, and the other is Longhu Mountain.

The former has an invincible army, and the latter has Zhang Xuanji, the best person in the world, at his command.
Although these two places are within the territory of Dragon Kingdom, they are not under the jurisdiction of the royal family.
Mainly can’t control it.
“When something goes wrong, there must be a demon, maybe it’s related to the vision in Longhu Mountain.” Dustin analyzed.
“How about the specifics? Let’s take a trip to Longhu Mountain to find out.” Margaret smiled faintly.

“Oh, by the way, what’s the third thing?” dahlia asked.

“The third thing is just a rumor, but it is not confirmed.” Margaret continued: “There are rumors that the old Celestial Master Zhang Xuanji has reached the realm of heaven and human beings and will become an immortal.”
“Become an immortal?” Hearing this, Dustin couldn’t help but fell silent.
Zhang Xuanji is a legendary figure and a recognized land god.
Its lifespan is nearly two hundred years old.
At this time, the news that he was going to become an immortal was like thunder to the world, whether it was the world or the temple.
“Guess…has the old Heavenly Master really become an immortal? Or has his time come?” Margaret asked in return.
“have no idea.”
Dustin shook his head: “The realm of the old Heavenly Master has reached a level that is difficult for all of us to understand. If anything weird happens to the old Heavenly Master, I think it is normal.”
“That’s true.” Margaret nodded in agreement.
Although many masters in history so-called becoming immortals, they are just deceiving people.
But when it comes to Zhang Xuanji, it’s completely different.
To all living beings, Zhang Xuanji is a god-like existence.

Even if a miracle happens, people will take it for granted.
 
Chapter 2058


“When should we set off?” Dustin asked.
“I will arrange for two people to send you to Longhu Mountain to explore the situation first. As for me, I have to go back to Yanjing first to properly place the spirit beads and handle some personal matters. But don’t worry, I will definitely come before the competition. Rush to Longhu Mountain and meet you.” Margaret said.
“Okay, it’s settled then!” Dustin nodded in agreement.

He longed for Longhu Mountain, but he never had the chance to visit.

This time, I can take advantage of the martial arts tournament to go shopping.
“Spring flowers, autumn moon.”
At this time, Margaret shouted towards the door.
Soon, two dashing female guards in elegant attire walked in.
Dustin took a closer look and found that they were twins.
The two women are about twenty years old. Not only are they beautiful and tall, but their strength has also reached the level of late-stage congenital people.
In all major sects, he can be regarded as the best.
“You two accompany Mr. Dustin to Longhu Mountain. You must take good care of him on the way and obey his instructions.” Margaret ordered.
“yes!”
“yes!”
The two female guards of Chunhua Qiuyue clasped their fists at the same time.
“What do you mean?” Dustin looked strange.
“It’s nothing. It’s a long way from Longhu Mountain. It’s a long journey. You have to have someone to take care of you.”
Margaret said with a faint smile: “Chunhua Qiuyue is my personal guard. After special training, there is no need to worry about loyalty. If you have any trivial matters, you can trust them to handle them.”
“Okay, let’s do that.” Dustin nodded and said no more.
After breakfast, Margaret packed up and left the desert village with a large force.


Dustin and the others went straight to Longhu Mountain from another direction.
Two days later.
Two days later.
Longhu Mountain, Shangqing Ancient Town.
Dustin took Chunhua Qiuyue and the two of them into a restaurant called Chunfengzui.
This restaurant has three floors. The building is antique and has a certain flavor.
The first and second floors are places for drinking and eating, and the third floor is for accommodation.

At this moment, the spring breeze is intoxicating and the place is already overcrowded.
Some of them are tourists, and some are people from all walks of life who come here because of the martial arts competition.
“Mr. Dustin, the room has been reserved in advance. Let’s find a seat and have something to eat first?” Chunhua suggested.
“Can.”
Dustin nodded and took the two of them to find an empty seat at the table and sit down.
Then I ordered some signature dishes and listened to the whispers of people around me while eating and drinking.
Anyone in the martial arts world basically talks about martial arts tournaments.

After all, this is the first time something like this has happened in Longhu Mountain. For the sake of the Heavenly Master, warriors from all walks of life will flock here.
“The three of them look a little unfamiliar. Could it be that they are also here for the martial arts competition?”
While eating and drinking, a crisp voice sounded beside him.
Dustin looked up and found a fair-skinned, handsome young man standing in front of him.
The young man was dressed in white, holding a folding fan, and had a jade face and red lips. He was even more breathtakingly beautiful than a woman.
So after Dustin saw the young man’s appearance, he couldn’t determine the gender for a while, so he could only subconsciously glance at his chest.
Well, Yi Ma Ping Chuan should be a man.
It’s just that this man looks a little too attractive.
 
Chapter 2059


The appearance of the handsome young man can’t help but make Chunhua Qiuyue’s eyes light up.
Although they have received professional training and will not be easily tempted, they have to admit that the man in front of them is really beautiful.
They are so beautiful that even as women, they feel a little ashamed of themselves.

If the other person had another gender, he would definitely be at the top of the rouge list.
“Who are you?”
After Dustin looked up and down, he asked coldly.
Longhu Mountain is different from other places. There are hidden dragons and crouching tigers here, and strong people emerge in large numbers.
Especially people with unknown origins need to be cautious.

“I’m Yan Buqi, a person from Songjiang. I heard that Longhu Mountain is going to hold a martial arts competition, so I came here to join in the fun.”
The handsome young man named Yan Buqi clasped his hands in his fists and smiled, which was really charming.
Most of the guests eating around him, regardless of gender, had their eyes on him.
Yan Buqi’s appearance is really outstanding, and Dustin and Chun Hua Qiu Yue are also very good-looking.

With so many handsome men and beautiful women together, it is naturally very eye-catching.
“Songjiang? Yan Buqi?”
Dustin raised his eyebrows slightly and asked tentatively: “Could it be that you are a disciple of Yama Hall?”
“Oh? How did this dear friend see it?” Yan Buqi was a little surprised.
“My husband is very resourceful. It’s not surprising to see who you are.” Chunhua said rather arrogantly.
“Yam Luodian is the tyrant of Songjiang, with influence all over the world, and as long as the disciples who join Yama Luodian have to change their surname to Yan. Based on the above two points, you can guess one or two.” Qiuyue added.
“So that’s it.”
Yan Buqi nodded suddenly and said with a smile: “This dear friend is well-informed and observant. I admire you.”
“It’s nothing, I just happened to see your badge.” Dustin said suddenly.
“ah?”

Yan Buqi was slightly startled, and subconsciously looked down, and sure enough he found that the waistband he had hidden in his pocket had fallen out.
On the front of the waistband, there is a big word “Yan” engraved on it.
On the front of the waistband, there is a big word “Yan” engraved on it.
This is exactly the status badge of a disciple of Yama Palace!
“Ahem… This dear friend is quick to talk, bold and open-minded. I admire you even more!”

Yan Buqi hurriedly hid his waist badge, a look of embarrassment flashed across his face.

“Forget the polite words, what do you want from me?” Dustin asked straight to the point.
“It’s nothing, I just think the three of you are destined to me.”
Yan Buqi smiled and said: “As the saying goes, you rely on your parents at home and your friends when you go out. One more friend will provide you with a new path. If possible, I would like to make friends with the three of them and have a meal together.”
“Sorry, not interested.” Dustin refused.
Yama Luodian is huge, especially in recent years, it has developed extremely rapidly, second only to Wu Gu Sect, Sword Sect and Tianxiahui.
In the Songjiang area, one hand covers the sky.
However, although Yama Luodian is powerful, its reputation is not very good, and he does not want to get involved with it.
“My dear friend, don’t worry. I don’t have any ill intentions. On the contrary, I can help you get things done.” Yan Buqi said with a half-smile.
“help me?”
Dustin said with an indifferent expression: “All the people from the martial arts world gathered in Longhu Mountain are here for the martial arts competition. You are like this, and so am I. In other words, the two of us are now in a competitive relationship, so what’s the point? Help word?”
“I just said that I came here just to join in the fun and make some friends. I have no interest in the rewards from Longhu Mountain. If you want to participate in the competition, I will definitely help you!” Yan Buqi said seriously.
“Yeah?”
Dustin smiled meaningfully: “You and I are not relatives, so why should you help me? What good will it do to you if you help me?”
 
Chapter 2060



He is not a dazed young man who has just entered the world, so naturally he will not be gullible.
“It’s fate that you and I met today, and we are friends if we have fate. Do you need a reason to help your friends achieve success?” Yan Buqi looked heroic.
“Friend?” Dustin only found it a little funny: “You don’t even know who I am, so you dare to make friends with me?”
“Heroes are all brothers regardless of where they come from!”
Yan Buqi blurted it out first, then clasped his hands into his fists, leaned forward and asked, “May I ask this dear friend his name?”

“The surname is Lu, and the name is Chen.” Dustin did not hide it.

“It turns out to be Brother Dustin. Nice to meet you.”
Yan Buqi smiled: “I see that Brother Dustin is a talented person and has a magnificent aura. He must be no ordinary person. I am truly lucky to be able to make friends with Brother Dustin today. Come on, let me toast Brother Dustin first!”
After speaking, without waiting for Dustin’s response, he quickly poured himself a glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp.
“Hey! You…”
When Chunhua was about to say a few words, Dustin raised his hand to stop her.
He didn’t know whether Yan Buqi was really bold or fake.
Anyway, he had nothing to do, so he was lucky enough to play with the other party and see what kind of medicine this kid was selling in his gourd?

“Waiter! Bring me all the good wine and food. I want Brother Dustin and I to stay here until we get drunk today!”

Yan Buqi shouted and ordered a bunch of food and wine to be served.
Looking at the enthusiastic look, those who didn’t know thought the two were close friends who had known each other for many years.
“Mr. Dustin, this person’s origin is unknown, so be careful.”
While Yan Buqi raised his head to drink, Qiu Yun whispered to Dustin to remind him.
“It doesn’t matter, I have my own sense of discretion.” Dustin smiled lightly.


There are still three days left before the martial arts competition at Longhu Mountain.
He could use Yan Buqi’s familiar personality to inquire about some things.
“Senior brother! Senior brother!”
While Yan Buqi was working hard to eat and drink, five men and women of different shapes dressed in black rushed in in a hurry.
One of them is as tall as a mountain, one is as short and fat as a ball, one is as thin as a bamboo pole, one is as beautiful as a flower, and one is as ugly as a pig.
As soon as these five people appeared, they attracted the attention of the whole restaurant.
Especially some old Jianghu, after seeing the appearance of the five people, their expressions changed drastically. They were so frightened that they did not even dare to eat, and ran away without daring to stay for a long time.
That posture was like seeing the god of plague.
