"As the deputy chief of Harmony Clinic, I, Dickson Marlow, will not walk back on my promise," Dickson swore.
The Maximus family members chortled at his reply.
They knew for a fact that As was an early-stage Transcendent Realm martial artist. On the other hand, Felix was just a martial artist in the Physical Refinement Realm. The oue was already obvious.
The Maximus family would prefer to bring Felix with them withoutying a finger on him.
After all, it wasn''t their intention to offend those from Harmony Clinic, as that would mean insulting most alchemists in the industry. That might impede the growth of the Maximus family members in martial arts.
Dickson''s prior analysis was on point—even if he got into a fight with the Maximus family, they wouldn''t kill him. The most they would do was to paralyze him so they could take Felix.
If they killed Dickson, they would get into huge trouble with Harmony Clinic. "Do you agree with that, Felix?" Dickson seemed exasperated after seeing the threatening look in As'' eyes.
"What else can I do? You''re forcing me into a corner," Felix said.
Dickson and the five elders of the Maximus family immediately made way for Felix, each having their own thoughts.
The Maximus family was confident in As''bat skills. On the other hand, Dickson was aware of Felix''s capability to fight the Skeletal Demon.
Despite being injured, the Skeletal Demon was in the middle-stage of the Transcendent Realm. Dickson feared that As would be in for a tough ride.
"Felix, in our first battle, I left youpletely powerless to fight back. This time won''t be any different!"
As started the attack. A cloud of demonic ck smoke appeared atop his head after he waved his arms, but it vanished soon.
Felix also made his move with the Shadow Strike, followed by the Rising Dragon to face his enemy. His energy shed with the ck cloud from As.
As was undoubtedly one of the geniuses who made it to the Top Ten Menaces of Martial City. Hisbat power was not to be underestimated.
Without warning, As leaped into the air with the ck smog underneath him. He shed against Felix''s Hidden Dragon move.
At the same time, As waved his right arm, causing a massive ck arm to form in the air and wing toward Felix.
"The eyes of the dragon!" Following Felix''smand, two massive dragon eyes abruptly formed in the sky. The silver rays shooting from that pair of eyes immediately
pierced through As'' ck v
swney
"The growl of the dragon!" Taking advantage of As''nding, Felix suddenly charged at him and bellowed, sending a thunderous sound across the air.
"Hmph! He certainly has a trick or two." As remainedposed. Some of the ck smog settled on his ears.
He dashed toward Felix. "Oh, you want closebat? I''ll give you that!"
When they collided, a cloud of dust erupted around them. Not a single tree in the area remained standing. Cracks spread across the ground, widening with each passing moment.
As Felix unleashed the Dragon Fist, As wasted no time in fully engaging in the battle.
Dark smog billowed into the air with every powerful swing of his limbs, radiating a terrifying energy.
"Felix Zeller is a practitioner of Dragons Destroyer for sure! He''s able to battle those from higher realms!"
"So what? I bet As has had enough fun. It''s time he brings out the ultimate weapon."
The other elders of the Maximus familymunicated with each other via telepathy. Obviously, they had confidence in As, judging by how they sent him to the battle despite knowing that Felix was trained in the Dragons Destroyer technique.
"Felix Zeller, I don''t have time to y these games with you." Without warning, As used the momentum from their sh to his advantage. He swiftly retreated, thenunched a powerful punch upward.
He yelled, "Obsidian Sky!"
For the first time, the ck smog thickened beyond imagination. It spread out around Felix and rose about 300 feet above him, covering him tightly like a web.
