Chapter 1165: Calming The Thunderstorm
“Kill me?”
Upon hearing this, Erik was first stunned, then burst into laughter as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.
The people around also wore mocking expressions, looking at him as if he were an idiot.
“Is this guy crazy? He actually dares to speak to The Thunderstorm like this? Isn’t he afraid of death?” Mia exclaimed in disbelief.
“Hmph! This ignorant fool dares to challenge Erik publicly. Does he not fear death?” Evan sneered.
Who was Erik?
He was an elite disciple of the Balermo Martial Alliance, and he had mastered the true inheritance of Lord Reeds, making him a genius figure.
“Erik fought against a hundred opponents and suppressed the entire field. Such a person is doomed to die!”
Evan and Mia both wore triumphant smiles.
“Serves him right! See if he’s still so arrogant after he’s beaten to a pulp!”
Florence and the others looked on coldly, their expressions filled with schadenfreude.
Just now, Erik had slaughtered everyone with overwhelming power, and everyone had seen it.
Now, with Dustin provoking him like this, wasn’t he seeking death?
“Erik! This guy actually dares to look down on you? Kill him for me!”
Up in the rear, Brayden shouted provocatively, his eyes filled with malice. Having been coughing up blood since he was kicked by Dustin earlier, he was harboring a deep grudge.
“Hahaha! This guy must be insane! He actually dares to speak to Erik like that? Doesn’t he know what the word ‘death’ means?” Florence wore a surprised expression.
“Hmph! A young fool who doesn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth, provoking Erik openly. He deserves to die!” Evan sneered.
“Acting all high and mighty just because he knows a little bit of martial arts. In my opinion, if he dies, it’s his own fault!” Aunt Victoria mocked.
Erik had just single-handedly defeated everyone in his path and was unstoppable.
At this moment, Dustin stepped forward to provoke him. Wasn’t he just looking for trouble?
“Ha! This guy dares to challenge Erik in public? Does he not fear death?” Julie shook her head, looking at Dustin as if he were a dead man.
“Hmph! Erik used his full strength to attack right from the start. This guy is doomed!” Evan and Mia both revealed triumphant smiles.
“He deserves it! Let’s see if he’s still so arrogant after this!” Florence and the others watched coldly, ready to watch a show.
Faced with the simultaneous attacks from both sides, Dustin remained calm. Instead of retreating, he stepped forward and avoided the heavy hammer-like strikes aimed at him.
“Ha! This time, you’re dead for sure!” Brayden sneered, looking at Dustin as if he were already a corpse.
Dustin didn’t change his expression despite the two huge mallets swinging toward him. He moved forward, dodging the strikes.
Then, he suddenly lifted his knee and forcefully struck Erik in the abdomen.
“Ugh!”
Caught off guard, Erik was bent into a prawn shape, his face turning bright red.
His entire body was lifted off the ground, and he lost his balance.
After the first blow, Dustin suddenly lifted his leg above his head and brought it down like an axe, striking Erik’s shoulder forcefully.
“Argh!”
Erik, who had just been lifted off the ground, was slammed back down. He knelt heavily on the ground, creating a pit with his knees.
His knees were bleeding and his bones were shattered, leaving him crippled.
“You—”
Erik had just opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, a mouthful of blood sprayed out of his mouth.
He looked utterly dejected, and his body was heavily injured.
“Ah?”
Seeing this scene, everyone was stunned.
Everything had happened so quickly, in the blink of an eye.
They hadn’t even seen clearly what had happened, and Erik was already kneeling on the ground, defeated.
It was unexpected.
“How… how could this happen? Erik actually lost?”
Brayden widened his eyes in disbelief.
Erik’s strength was well known to him.
As an elite member of the Balermo Martial Alliance and the nephew of Ronald Reeds, he was considered one of the top talents among the younger generation, both in terms of talent and strength.
Normally, Erik should have easily crushed Dustin. Why was he suddenly defeated?
