Chapter 314

"Don't ever show up in front of me!" Maximus kicked Luther aside and

proceeded to leave.

"Got it…" Luther put on a fake smile. When Maximus turned his back

against Luther, the man had a gleam in his eyes as he picked up the sword

on the floor and plunged it into Maximus' body.

"Look out!" Dustin yelled, and Maximus jumped aside at the final

moment. Although Maximus wasn't critically wounded from the stabbing, the

sword left a long, gaping wound that oozed blood

on his waist.

Luther was taken aback when he realized that his ambush failed. Then,

he threw the sword away and frantically pleaded, "Max! I'm wrong! I'm

definitely in the wrong! I was blinded for a moment just now. Please

don't take it to heart!"

"You stubborn old donkey!" Fuming, Maximus took out his sword and

attempted to slash Luther, this time showing no mercy at all.

"Stop!" a thunderous roar sounded out of the blue Next, a majestic

figure descended from the air and shielded Luther.

The man, in his thirties, gave off a powerful air, and his eyes

twinkled with a sharp and aggressive look. He was as grand as a mountain

when he stood in the ring. The man was the so-called " Fanatic Blade"-

Tatum Thunders!

Tatum bellowed when he noticed that Maximus did not stop, "I told you

to stop!" He lifted a hand, and the figure of a palm appeared from thin

air, punching Maximus in the chest. Almost. immediately, Maximus coughed

up a mouthful of blood and was thrown out ten feet away. It was clear

that he was no match for Tatum.

"Shit! It's Tatum Thunders!"

"He's the ace of Royal Valor indeed! With a punch, the ace, who's

ranked as one of The Heavenly Immortals, has severely injured his

opponent."

"Pretty good of that young man to beat Mr. Williams, Too bad he ran

into Tatum Thunders!"

"Tatum lives up to the nickname of Fanatic Blade!

The crowd murmured in shock at Tatum's presence. From the first move,

he demonstrated the awe -striking capability of The Heavenly Immortals,

something that The Hundred Immortals could only dream of.

"That's our Tatum! He's so cool!" Abby clapped furiously while gaping

at the man on the platform with looks of adulation. It was her lifelong

dream to be ranked as one of The Heavenly Immortals. Thus, her future

partner must be one of them as well.

"Hmph! How dare you hurt your mentor in public! How terribly wicked

of you to do so! There's no point keeping a piece of trash like you in

the martial arts field. Today, I shall carry out God's will!" After

giving his self-righteous speech, he hurled a punch at Maximus again with

the intent to kill.

"Oh no, that guy's done for!" Everyone shook their heads

sympathetically. Although Maximus was talented and capable, he wasn't at

Tatum's level. Just when Maximus was close to meeting his fate, a figure

hopped onto the platform and fended off the incoming punch.

The winds from the punch died down, replaced by puffs of smoke.

Dustin cast an icy glare at Tatum. "Boulderthorn disciples are all the

same-shameless."

"Who are you? How dare you stop me?" Tatum narrowed his eyes, looking

hostile.

"I'm the Dustin Rhys that you wish to battle," Dustin replied.

"What? Is that Dustin Rhys?" The crowd froze in shock. Abby and Ralph

gaped at Dustin. They had

no idea that the martial art genius they kept discussing was right

beside them all along.
