Chapter 2069 A Duel With Old Mr. Bane


    "Matt, mind if I ask who your master is?" questioned the curious Old Mr. Bane as he warmed up.


    Matthew shook his head. "I mainly self-taught Eight Fists and Joint Technique. As for the others, I only


    have scanty knowledge of them."


    He did not belong to any sect, hence the self-taught journey, which made the corner of Old Mr. Bane''s


    eyes twitch. Those two techniques are deadly, though.


    "I practiced martial arts ever since I was young. It has been over sixty years. Shall we begin, young


    "I''ll be in your care, Old Master Bane."


    The conversation ended, and they approached each other at full pelt. Their fists met and left mere


    shadows in midair. After a few counters, Old Mr. Bane suddenly turned sideways. It happened so


    quickly that Matthew''s punches missed their target. Damn it!


    It was toote when he was going into defense mode, for Old Mr. Bane''s arm had hewed onto


    Matthew''s wrist like an axe, hitting right at his muscles!


    Ouch! Matthew''s jaw tightened at that hit.


    Meanwhile, Old Mr. Bane withdrew his hand and retreated. He was discontent with Matthew''s careful


    advances. "You don''t have to pull your punches, boy. I am old, but my joints are still in their prime."


    "Fine. I will excuse courtesy for now and grant your wish, Old Master Bane." Matthew''s arms shook as


    his aura changed.


    Only then did Old Mr. Bane nod in satisfaction. "Attaboy! Show me what you got!" He crouched slowly


    before charging forward. That ferocious air around him morphed him into a wild beast that intimated


    others with its sheer presence.


    Matthew was aware that Old Mr. Bane was taking it seriously from then. Gathering his thoughts, he


    mustered every ounce of nimbus in him. "Watch out, Old Master Bane. Punches don''t look where they


    go." He bulldozed forward and utilized the Shield Technique to approach Old Mr. Bane before attacking


    with Eight Fists.


    The experienced Old Mr. Bane had gone through many fights, so he saw through Matthew''s n


    readily. Once the distance between them drew closer, he folded his knees and attacked Matthew''s


    lower limb. Although the Shield Technique was known for its attack-defense attribute, its shoring


    was exposing the originator''s lower limb.


    Noticing that Old Mr. Bane had grasped his intention, Matthew had no option but to duck the attacks


    while changing his technique. Still, would Old Mr. Bane give him the chance to do so?


    Not in the slightest.


    No matter how strong Matthew''s defense was, the switch of techniques in between was bound to give

    openings to vulnerability. Moreover, mixed martial arts, as practiced by Old Mr. Bane, trained one to be


    a versatile sucker-puncher.


    In less than ten techniques, Old Mr. Bane discovered an opening for an attack. He flung a heavy punch


    right at Matthew''s stomach. On the other hand, Matthew was aware he could not defeat Old Mr. Bane


    in terms of skills and experience. Thus, he opted to suffer pain to gain an advantage. Gritting his teeth,


    he endured the throbbing pain and counter-attacked with Shoulder Strike immediately.


    Now, though…


    Subsequently, he dodged Matthew''s elbow by turning his body like a shadow. Just as he was about to


    quell the fight with one final blow, a sharp pain prated his chest, and beads of cold sweat trickled


    his forehead.  Draмanоvеls


    At that moment, Matthew noticed something wrong and withdrew his attacks to support Old Mr. Bane.
