Thump! Thump!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He staggered back three steps, his right arm completely numbed by the impact!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, the young man stood still, unmoved from his spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is that so? Well, I’ll pay the tuition, but let’s see if you dare to collect it!” Julius Reed smiled faintly, his body darting out like lightning!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another punch!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maurice Springs couldn’t even react in his shock, and his distraction caused him to hesitate for a moment with his counterstrike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was that moment of hesitation that Julius Reed seized, smashing hard against his shoulder!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thump!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maurice Springs stumbled backwvard, flying through the air and crashing to the ground, instantly rolling to absorb the impact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You are strong!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Maurice Springs showed a grave expression: “But sadly, you’re still a bit weak. Just now was your best chance to defeat me, yet even so, you failed to injure me seriously!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He licked the blood at his mouth and showed a fierce grin: “Is this all the strength you have? I’m rather disappointed! You’ve missed your best chance. Now, you will bear my wrath!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having defeated Miles Cook and Quantez Springs, and intimidated those disciples from taking action, Maurice Springs had already estimated Julius Reed’s strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But only during the exchange did he realize that the opponent was really strong, and that he had underestimated him somewhat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, Maurice Springs remained confident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the branch leader of the Far East Division, if he didn’t have this much capability, how could he lead his troops?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, Willson Pavilion’s branch leaders tell into two categories: one was the War God faction like Maurice Springs, responsible for combat and handling disputes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whenever there was a mission, these people would charge at the forefront and fight against overwhelming odds!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other was responsible for managing the gang’s affairs and overseeing the big picture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That would be what’s referred to as the Think Tank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the strategists were also strong fighters, compared with the War God faction, there was a significant difference.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come at me, and hopefully you won’t disappoint me too much!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed wasn’t provoked but instead stood casually with his hands behind his back, looking down from the hill with a superior air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heh, truly a young and rash one. Not bad, with your skill at such a young age, you indeed have the right to be proud. But do you know there’s always someone out there who is better?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maurice Springs didn’t rush to make a move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, even as adversaries, he had to admit the young man was a prodigy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With such skill at a mere teen, his potential was unlimited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Maurice Springs, powerful as he was, wasn’t half as good as Julius Reed when he was that age.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in real combat, no one cares about your age.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The victor is king.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The loser… dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you hadn’t injured my son Quantez, perhaps I would have considered taking you as a disciple and nurturing your talent thoroughly!” Maurice Springs said with regret as he looked at Julius Reed: “But now, you must be eliminated! Given time, you would certainly become a huge problem! Young man, be more prudent in your next life!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In another ten years, the young man’s cultivation might even surpass his own, so Maurice Springs would certainly not spare him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a monstrous talent, if not killed, would definitely become a major threat!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you know why I didn’t kill your son?” Julius Reed still remained calm, asking coldly from his vantage point on the hillside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as if facing such a powerful opponent, he was still completely confident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was only when Julius Reed asked this that Maurice Springs came to his senses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Quantez Springs hadn’t died, he was extremely close to death. Was this merely a coincidence, or had heaven intervened?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, it seemed more like the doing of the young man before him. Being able to control one’s strength so precisely was absolutely no accident!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Because sometimes, living is more painful than dying.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed said softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Quantez Springs had died in his coma, it would have been too easy on him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, being disabled for life, even unable to walk, was this not the ultimate cruelty towards a young man?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one knew how painful this really was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without having experienced it, one couldn’t understand such difficulties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re asking for death!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Maurice Springs was thoroughly enraged!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quantez Springs was his Achilles heel, untouchable by anyone!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thump! Thump! Thump!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blind with rage, he charged forward, his fists pounding down with force!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By then, Julius Reed had already sensed the overwhelming intent to kill and the extremely strong presence!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, Maurice Springs had clearly held back, but now, he was letting it all out!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, Julius Reed still did not move an inch, as if frozen by fear, standing with his hands clasped behind his back upon the hillside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fist arrived before Julius Reed in the blink of an eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, he thrust out his right hand with lightning speed and fiercely grabbed Maurice Springs’ wrist!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He twisted it hard!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crack!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After breaking Maurice Springs’ wrist, Julius Reed sidestepped and flew past his body!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tree behind Julius Reed was instantly broken in two!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One could only imagine how a punch that could break a tree would have crushed a man!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ssss!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The intense pain spread instantly throughout Maurice Springs’ body. Even though he was very strong and his endurance was at its limit, this was a broken bone!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had it been someone else, they would have passed out long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That Maurice Springs was still standing in front of Julius Reed showed just how strong he really was!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I underestimated you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maurice Springs looked at his exposed bone and a slight smile spread across his lips. “But, you must die!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, Maurice Springs bolted out like lightning!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his hand, a dagger flashed coldly!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swipe!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed dodged to the side and hastily retreated baclwards!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that deadly strike, Maurice Springs slammed heavily into a tree, cutting a tree trunk half a meter thick clean in half!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Again!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shouted, roaring with fury as he chased after Julius Reed once more! As the head of the Eastern Branch Pavilion, Maurice Springs had been undefeated in battle!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, his arm had been broken by a teenager!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If word got out, it would be an enormous disgrace!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, the other must die!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If one of us must die, it can only be you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius Reed narrowed his eyes and charged toward Maurice Springs!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He suddenly kicked forward, striking directly at Maurice Springs’ injured arm!\u003C\u002Fp>",1286,"2026-06-06T17:04:44.710Z",1,"novelbin.me","b4f7bed71c2684924692ed7a1f27c2e4f80af11a175b2c052926d1b815ed5c97","legend-of-dragon-son-in-law-chapter-179","legend-of-dragon-son-in-law-chapter-177",2546,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Flegend-of-dragon-son-in-law-cover.jpg"]
