His words clused a stir among the crowd. It that man on the stage crazy? Does he think Master Antoinewill still show him mercy after he covertly provokes Master Antoine? If Master Antoine takes aggressiveaction
“He’s indeed a boasting fool with a death wish, yet you still intend to help him? Stannis, you better quitmeddling in his business in the future. You can’t stop anyone who enjoys courting troubles.” Daphneuttered derisively.
Stannis had also heard Alex’s speech, and he shared Daphne’s opinion that Alex was seeking death.Hence, he didn’t refute her.
Antoine was undoubtedly the most terrified person at the scene at that moment. Alex’s formidable auradid frighten him, but as long as he could launch an attack, he still had absolute confidence in knockingAlex off the stage.
“If I fail, will I need to stand one meter from the edge of the stage for you to carry out your attempt too?”
Despite being sufficiently confident, he couldn’t guarantee that nothing unexpected would happen, soAntoine thought it was better for him to clarify with Alex.
Alex nodded. He had wanted to tell Antoine to stand anywhere he liked, but on second thought, hedecided not to be so ostentatious. His goal was just to teach Antoine a lesson.
Although Antoine couldn’t fathom Alex’s strength, he reckoned that matter would be resolved once thelatter was knocked off the platform.
Antoine held his breath and focused intently. His expression turned exceptionally grave, and he eventook out a black pill from his pocket and put it into his mouth.
That was a pill given to him by the abbot of the monastery, which could double his Mortal Force for ashort period. However, the severe side effect would render him weak and powerless for ten days.
Even though Alex didn’t reveal his abilities in front of Antoine, the latter had to practice extra cautionbecause Alex invoked a sense of inscrutability within him.
Alex watched Antoine consume the pill but was unfazed. He figured there was no way a martial artistcould defeat a third-phase Master like him regardless of what miraculous elixir Antoine ate.
Once the pill exerted its effect, Antoine’s aura escalated to twice its initial intensity. His fear significantlydecreased as he faced off against Alex now.novelbin
Antoine laughed mockingly and scoffed as he took in Alex’s casual demeanor. “You’re too arrogant,young man. Let me teach you a lesson about the importance of humility today.”
“Quit yapping and just make your move!” Alex responded impatiently.
Antoine was enraged. He’s unrepentant even on the verge of death. I shan’t waste my breath onsomeone like him. Antoine closed his eyes, feeling the doubled power circulating in his elixir field.
Channeling Mortal Force to his palm, he abruptly opened his eyes and roared, “Fal!!”
Immediately afterward, the Mortal Force on his palins burst forth and struck Alex.
The resulting shockwave was tremendous. The crowd below the stage could already envision Alexbeing sent flying backward after getting hit by Antoine’s attack.
However, to everyone’s surprise, Alex remained rooted to his spot, curling his lips into a faint smile. Hisfigure didn’t even budge a little.
Seeing that, Antoine widened his eyes in utter astonishment and muttered continuously, “H-How is thispossible? T-This is impossible. There’s no way this is happening. How can he be completelyunharmed?” Everyone below the stage gasped. Among them were people who had come many timesjust to watch Antoine perform his divine powers, and that was the first time they’d seen him fail.
Alex sneered while walking up to Antoine, gently patted the latter’s shoulder, and uttered frostily, “Sinceyou’ve already made your move and I didn’t fall off the stage, is it my turn now?”
At that moment, Antoine had already collapsed on the ground. To outsiders, Alex’s gentle pat onAntoine’s shoulder didn’t seem like much, but as the party concerned, Antoine was the only one whocould feel its real magnitude.
The seemingly light taps on his shoulder actually felt as if someone had forcefully swung asledgehammer at him twice.
Even under the influence of the pill’s effect, he couldn’t withstand it. This man is indeed not as initiallythought! simple as I have
