Chapter: 477
Today was a good opportunity for him to make a name for himself and rise to prominence!
“So what? If you don’t let her go today, I will kill you!” Dustin was stone–faced. It was as if he was looking at a dead man.
“Kill me?” Joshua scoffed.
“Kiddo, it seems like you haven’t realized the gravity of the situation. Since you don’t seem to value your life, allow me!”
With that, he waved his hand, and a burst of violent energy ripped toward Dustin with full force. Dustin didn’t dodge it, allowing the burst of energy to crash into him as he stood unmoved.
“Hmm?” Joshua narrowed his eyes, looking slightly surprised.
When a divine–level martial artist manifested energy externally, even a minor attack was not something a low- level martial artist could take on. Since his opponent could use his body to hold off the attack, it meant he was. highly skilled.
“I didn’t expect you to have such abilities up your sleeves. No wonder you were able to kill Judge. But it’s too bad that you have to go up against me! Today, I will let you witness the difference between low–level marital artists and divine–level martial artists. Watch me!”
Joshua grunted lightly as his body soared into the air like an eagle, aiming a slap toward Dustin’s forehead.
The wind howled fiercely as his clothes fluttered in response. Under his terrifying prowess, the crowd retreated once again, afraid of being entangled in the conflict.
Isfrid and her team, who were standing behind Dustin, had it worse. They had difficulty breathing and staggered backward involuntarily.
“Is this what a divine–level martial artist is like? How frightening!”
The crowd looked at each other in apprehension, silently worried.
“Fool.” Dustin sneered coldly at Joshua’s oncoming attack and made a move, landing a fierce slap on his face. The thunderous slap sent Joshua into a backflip in the air, and he landed head first onto the ground.
At that moment, everyone was stunned into oblivion.
“What the fuck!”
Everyone was shaken by the abrupt scene. No one could have imagined that the previously heroic Joshual would fall by Dustin’s slap, and they wondered if it was a coincidence or an accident.
“Josh!” Jade and Tina’s expression paled as they rushed up to him. They helped him up to his feet while he was still feeling dizzy.
*Josh, are you alright?” Jade was taken aback and worried.
“What happened just now?” Joshua shook his head, appearing dazed. Everything happened so suddenly that he didn’t notice Dustin’s movements. He only felt his sight go dark, and the next thing he knew, he was thrown to the ground.
“You were beaten to the ground by that bastard,” Jade explained with a strange expression.
“No! That’s impossible!” Joshua could never believe it.
“How could he have hit me? I must have slipped and fell on my own!”
“That’s right! You must have slipped!” Tina nodded furiously beside him.
“Kiddo! That didn’t count. Let’s go again!” Joshua couldn’t admit defeat. With a tap of his feet, he launched himself out again.
