With an icy cold facial expression, Billy said, "Gilbert Nolan, this is between you and me! It has nothing
to do with the others! Let them go, and we'll settle this once and for all!"
So, it turned out that this middle-aged man was Gilbert Nolan.
Gilbert glanced at Billy, and he chuckled.
"Surely, there'll be an end for our grudges.However, I have no choice but to fulfill their death wishes,
considering they dared to stop me.Young man, do you know that there's a price to pay for standing up
for others at will?"
In the midst of joking, Gilbert made his moves again.
With crazy speed, he launched his deadly attacks on Matthew again.
While sustaining Gilbert's attacks, Matthew gritted his teeth.
He bent his legs slightly and concentrated the energy of his whole body on his right fist.
Just as Gilbert was about to rush in front of him, Matthew took a half step forward.
Then, he stomped and growled, followed by punching out his right fist.
Half-Step Fist! A bright light flashed in Gilbert's eyes.
He did not dodge the attack.
Instead, he punched Matthew abruptly.
With this punch from his fist, Matthew took a step back.
Meanwhile, Gilbert took a half step back! At once, everyone in the house widened their eyes.
Even Gilbert had a look of disbelief.
"Half-Step Fist? How can it be so powerful? W-What did you do?"
Gilbert shouted anxiously.
However, no words escaped from Matthew's lips.
Truthfully, Matthew had silently consumed the energy pill when he stepped back just now.
As of this moment, his strength had doubled.
Otherwise, there was no way for him to be able to go up against Gilbert! Seeing that Matthew did not
speak, Gilbert could not help but get annoyed.
"Young man, I really underestimated you! However, this strength of yours is far from enough after
all.Today, I'll show you the inimitable skill of the Nolan Family!"
With that, Gilbert let out an angry howl.
Then, he took a step to the left with his left foot and thrusted his foot against the ground.
However, his whole body was actually charged directly toward Matthew's right side.
It was a diversion tactic, and the speed was as fast as greased lightning.
There was not enough time for Matthew to think of a counterattack.
He could only rely on the combat experience stored in the jade pendant to withstand Gilbert's attack.
The two instantly fought, and they exchanged more than 10 martial arts moves.
Each time, Matthew could barely block Gilbert's attack.
Needless to say, Gilbert's strength was really terrifying.
I fought against Phoenix, whose strength is slightly inferior to Gilbert's.
Even though I have taken the energy pill, my strength is still nothing in front of Gilbert.
Not long after the two fought, Matthew sustained a few more attacks.
However, this battle also gradually enriched Matthew's combat experience.
Even though his strength was still inferior, Matthew was able to find an opportunity to counterattack
gradually amid Gilbert's stormy attack.
Gilbert's face was full of surprise.
He did not expect that a person could gradually become stronger in such a battle.
It was rare for Gilbert to encounter the talent possessed by Matthew in martial arts in his life, and this
further triggered his thoughts of wanting to kill Matthew.
With that in mind, Gilbert's attack had gotten even more swift.
He charged toward Matthew at full force, trying to take his life with his attack.
In the meantime, Billy sat on the ground.
Seeing that he was severely injured, it was impossible for him to launch a single attack.
Wishing to help Matthew, Ken rushed over twice, but he was kicked away by Gilbert.
At this moment, he also collapsed to the ground and could no longer fight.
Finally, Gilbert seized the opportunity and sent Matthew flying with the force of one palm.
At this moment, Matthew also felt that the energy in his body was gradually depleting.
In other words, the effect of the energy pill was about to fade away.
By the time the effect of the energy pill was almost gone, Matthew would completely lose his
resistance.
A complacent look filled Gilbert's face after he saw he had succeeded in defeating Matthew with just
one attack.
Then, Gilbert looked down at Matthew condescendingly.
"Young man, with your strength and talent, I'm afraid I won't be your opponent in a few more years.But,
it's a shame that you won't have the chance to live till then!"
As he said those words, Gilbert immediately raised his hand, preparing to kill Matthew.
Enraged, Billy and Ken bawled loudly.
Yet, Gilbert merely sneered.
He ignored them and slammed his palm toward Matthew.
At this moment, a buzzing sound suddenly came from all around.
Then, a yellow cloud descended from the sky and directly blocked the fatal blow from Gilbert's attack!
