An Understated Dominance (Dustin Rhys)

Abigail moved with lightning speed, and her figure weaved in and out like a shadow. Her swift movements left a blur of afterimages that was hard for anyone watching to keep up.

On the contrary, Dustin stood still without making any movement.

“Fallen Fist!”

After closing in, she unleashed a flurry of strikes-dozens of black palm shadows slamming toward his body, and each one was like a bullet aimed at its target.

Abigail practiced a unique martial art, and it was imbued with voodoo-like properties that could kill anyone who made contact with her. But Dustin’s body was immune to all poisons, so it was a perfect counter to her deadly attack.

As the shadow palms closed in, he remained unshaken and thrust his palm forward.

A fierce gust of wind surged and ripped through the air with unrelenting force. It collided with the black palm shadows.

Abigail’s black palm shadows exploded. on impact and disintegrated into thick clouds of dark mist that quickly spread. Within moments, the mist engulfed nearly the entire battle ring and trapped them inside.

“What is this? Poison mist?”

“She attacked with internal energy but released poison mist. That’s a rather unusual technique.”

The spectators below murmured in surprise as they eyed the poison mist swirling around.

The use of poison was nothing unusual for the Mystic Arts Order. Unlike the Dawson Clan’s hidden weapons, the Mystic Arts Order’s poisons were far more devious and unpredictable. Many people who were poisoned didn’t even realize what had happened until it was too late.

If Dustin hadn’t sensed the threat in time and used his palm wind to dissipate the black palm shadows, he would have never had a chance to react once they closed in. When facing members of the Mystic Arts Order, staying on guard at all times was a must.

Abigail swam like a fish in the thick poison mist, and her movements were so fast that the spectators couldn’t even spot her. They could only see faint ripples in the air marking her path.
