An Understated Dominance Chapter 2357 – “Die!” Jude Leith roared as he attacked Briggs.

Nine identical figures darted across the ring, blending real and fake so quickly that it was impossible to tell which one was Jude. His teleportation-like movement, combined with his clone technique, made it even harder to figure out.

Seeing this, Briggs quickly used his energy to form a white protective shield around himself.

“Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang…”

Jude’s fists rained down like a storm, pounding the shield repeatedly. Each punch made the shield shake violently.

As the punches kept coming, the shield swayed like a boat in a storm, looking as though it could shatter at any moment.

“Do you think you can stop me? I’ll tear you apart!” Jude yelled, venting his anger with every punch.

For Jude, a master on the Legendary list, being injured by an unknown fighter was humiliating. He couldn’t afford to lose face today or his reputation in the martial arts world would be ruined.

Briggs didn’t fight back. Instead, he focused on using his energy to keep the shield as strong as possible. Jude had too many clones, making it impossible to identify the real one. Even worse, each clone disappeared immediately after striking, leaving Briggs no chance to counterattack.

If this went on, even though Briggs was strong, he wouldn’t be able to hold out much longer.

“Oh my god! Teleportation and clones—who can stand up to that?”

“As expected from a master on the Legendary list! Even injured, he’s still terrifying. Incredible!”

“Briggs was so close to winning, just one step away. What a shame.”

As the audience watched Briggs take blow after blow, their reactions were mixed. Some admired Jude’s strength, even while injured, while others felt sympathy for Briggs, who almost pulled off an upset.

Earlier, Briggs had impressed everyone with his strategy, but now it looked like Jude’s overwhelming power would win out.

“What can we do? Master Either is in real danger!” Halle said anxiously, watching the intense battle.

Just a moment ago, Briggs’s combo had stunned the audience, and it seemed like he might win. But now, Jude had regained control and launched a fierce counterattack.

“Jude is furious, and he’s showing why he’s a Legendary list master. It’ll be really tough for Either to win,” Rivka said, shaking her head.

Even though Jude was injured, his foundation was strong. His teleportation and clone techniques made him nearly invincible. Briggs, defending as best he could, was still getting hit over and over. The only way out was if Briggs had a powerful trick up his sleeve.

“Die, die, die!” Jude roared, his attacks growing even more intense as his energy surged.

Jude’s fists and clones bombarded Briggs’s shield, which soon began to crack. Seeing this, Jude pushed harder, knowing that once the shield broke, he could finish Briggs off.

But in the face of this crisis, Briggs didn’t panic. Instead, he did something unexpected: he closed his eyes.

Jude’s clone and teleportation techniques made it impossible to track him with the naked eye. Only a powerful sense of perception could follow his movements. Though this was extremely difficult, Briggs had no other choice.

“Bang, bang, bang…”

Jude’s punches continued, and the cracks in Briggs’s shield spread like a spider web.

“You want to die? Then I’ll make it happen!” Jude shouted, gathering all his energy for one final punch.

“Bang!”

With a loud crash, the shield shattered.

Jude seized the moment, controlling both his clones and his real body to strike Briggs’s vital spots. But just as he closed in, Briggs opened his eyes.

Instead of defending or dodging, Briggs suddenly turned and pointed at one of the figures.

This seemingly simple move carried immense destructive power, distorting the space around him.

“Bang!”

Jude’s punch landed heavily on Briggs, sending him flying over ten meters. When Briggs finally stopped, blood dripped from his mouth and nose—Jude’s punch had done serious damage.

But Jude wasn’t unscathed. After Briggs’s finger strike, he stood frozen, a look of shock and disbelief on his face.

Jude’s clones disappeared, leaving only his real body standing, still in shock. He hadn’t expected Briggs to pinpoint his location so accurately despite his teleportation and clone techniques.

“You… you…” Jude stammered, raising a hand toward Briggs. But before he could finish, blood gushed from his mouth, and he collapsed, unconscious.
