An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori Chapter 1189
“I can’t believe he got the Three Guardians to appear. Quincey has really gone all out!”
“It’s rumored that the Three Guardians are all martial arts grandmasters. Although Dustin is skilled, it would be hard to go against three of them alone.”
“Is this how the martial arts alliance conducts itself? Dustin came to challenge the leader. Instead, they are trying to intimidate him with numbers. “What a blatant disregard of our martial ethics!”
The crowd clamored at the sight of the three black-clad figures in masks. The Three Guardians were the alliance’s hidden strength. They ranked higher than the elders and third only to the leader and assistant leader.
They would never be deployed unless the alliance was in grave danger. Nobody knew how strong they were or what they looked like. Those who had seen their faces never lived to tell the tale.
The last time the Three Guardians were dispatched was ten years ago. It was during Ronald’s inauguration as the alliance leader. That day, a group of rebellious martial artists had conspired to disrupt the ceremony.
The Three Guardians had swiftly stopped the uprising with sheer force. They defeated all the rebellious martial artists with ease.
From that moment on, they became infamous. They were seen as a powerful defense by the entire alliance. No one could break through that defense and shake the alliance’s foundation.
Now, the alliance didn’t hesitate to use the Three Guardians in an ambush against Dustin. It was a truly heavy- handed move.
“The Three Guardians?” Dustin’s expression grew cold as he glanced around.
“Quincey Reeds, so this is your hidden card?” With his keen eyesight, he could tell that the Three Guardians were no ordinary grandmasters. They practiced the dark arts!
Not only did they exude a chilling aura, but they had fierce gazes and carried a strong scent of blood. Those who practiced the dark arts could enjoy rapid cultivation. However, it came with significant drawbacks. One of them included having to drink. human blood regularly.
That was the only way to control the dark energy inside them and keep it from running wild. The unique smell they gave off confirmed it.
In other words, the so-called Three Guardians were actually three notorious murderers. Many people had died at their hands.
The martial arts alliance should be setting an example for the martial world. Instead, they were rotten to the core. They had broken ethics and rules for power and status, secretly nurturing these demons for their own use.
“What? Afraid already?” Quincey grinned.
“If you’re afraid, kneel and surrender. You just might be able to lessen your suffering!”
“Afraid?” Dustin sneered, “They are just three pieces of trash that practice the dark arts. Do you really think they can touch me?”
Although those practicing the dark arts grew rapidly, their cultivation level was unsteady. It was due to the lack of foundation. As long as Dustin found their weakness, defeating them would be easy.
“Brat! Seems like you won’t learn your lesson until you meet death in the eyes! Quincey said sarcastically, “Since you’re seeking death, let me fulfill your wish! Three Guardians, I order you to kill Dustin!”
“Wait!” Just then, Josie stepped forward. With her voice raised, she said, “Mr. Reeds! Grandmaster Rhys has come forward to challenge our leader.
“How could you send the Three Guardians to fight him before the challenge even starts? Don’t you think you’ve gone too far?”
“That’s right! We’re here to watch their duel, not to see you people bully the weak!” a few martial artists chimed in behind her.
