An Understated Dominance Chapter 2030 [4059 – 4060]-When Maryam sprinkled the SNG-Cartilage Powder, Josue’s Eighteen Styles of the Golden Sword had already reached their peak.

Every sword strike was extremely ferocious and unstoppable.

At this moment, Dustin’s body-protecting energy had been broken, and his right arm and sword were still frozen. Coupled with Josue’s crazy attack, Dustin could no longer avoid Maryam’s sneak attack and could only hold his breath subconsciously.

“Wow~!”

SNG-Cartilage Powder turned into white smoke, lingering around Dustin.

Although Dustin held his breath in time, the white smoke penetrated everywhere, directly through the skin and hair, and kept drilling into the body.

“Hmph!”

Dustin stomped his feet, causing the ground to sink three inches.

A powerful wave of energy instantly erupted, centered on his body.

For a time, sand and rocks were flying, and the wind howled.

The air waves directly evaporated and destroyed the SNG-Cartilage Powder, and they also washed away Josue’s continuous offensive, forcing him to take several steps back.

The air wave, on the other hand, blew Maryam more than ten meters away. After landing, he “kicked, kicked, kicked” and took several steps back before he could barely stabilize his body.

She felt as if a huge boulder was pressing on her chest, and blood was surging inside her body.

Just an explosion of true energy was so powerful that she had to admit that Dustin was much stronger than she expected.

Maryam took a deep breath, and a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth. “You are so strong in your inner cultivation. It seems that we have underestimated you. But it is a pity that it is useless no matter how powerful you are, because you have just been hit by SNG-Cartilage Powder. Even if you hold your breath, SNG-Cartilage Powder can still penetrate into the body through your skin. Now, do you feel that your whole body is weak and that your body is getting weaker and weaker?”

Hearing this, Josue couldn’t help laughing out loud. “Hahaha… well done, Master Tait! This kid is very weird. Master Tait, Thank you for your wit; you used SNG-Cartilage Powder; otherwise, if we have a head-on confrontation, we may not be able to get a good deal.”

Josue had just executed his eighteen best golden sword moves, but in the end, Dustin eluded him and knocked him back with his powerful energy.

If the fight continued, he wouldn’t get the slightest advantage.

Things were different now. Dustin had been poisoned by SNG-Cartilage Powder, and even if he had extraordinary abilities, he could not perform even a tenth of it.

After all, SNG-Cartilage Powder was specially developed for martial arts masters and was extremely precious and rare.

The critical moment was enough to turn the tide!

“You think you can bring me down with just this little poison? If so, you are too naive!” Dustin still stood firmly, expressionless.

“Haha… Stop pretending. You are at the end of your strength now. In a few moments, you may not even be able to stand up. If you know what to do, surrender immediately. Otherwise, you will only die!” Maryam sneered.

“You’re right!” Josue held the golden sword on his shoulder and said with great momentum, “Boy, it’s really rare for you to have such cultivation at such a young age. We can’t bear to kill the genius, so we plan to give you a chance, as long as you are willing to surrender and hand over the treasure, and we will let you leave safely.”

“Hmph! It’s nice to say, but I’m worried that if I really hand over the treasure, you’ll kill me and silence me. Dustin said it coldly.

These so-called decent people from well-known families would do anything for the sake of profit.

The treasure had not been obtained, and the other party was worried. Once it was actually handed over, he would immediately turn his back on him.

How could he be a person who kept his word if he could commit murder and swindle goods?

“You have no choice now. You have to agree to our request. Otherwise, not only will you die, but everyone in this hotel will also die!” Maryam shouted sternly.

“From what you say, do you think you’re going to kill me today?” Dustin raised his eyebrows slightly.

“Otherwise? Why do you think I’ve been nagging you for so long? Isn’t it just to make the medicine work better? The longer it takes, the better it is for us, and you will only become weaker and weaker.” Maryam said it triumphantly.

Even though Dustin received a hit from SNG-Cartilage Powder, his strength did not immediately fade. Before dying, the opponent might counterattack him if he is too eager to attack.
