An Understated Dominance

Eduardo’s death came as a complete shock to everyone.

When he unleashed the Shadow Killing Technique, the crowd was certain of his victory. This ancient, secret skill, long lost to time, was legendary in the martial arts world. It was known to be unbeatable against opponents of the same level and could even kill those more powerful. The Shadow Killing Technique bypasses physical defenses and energy shields, directly inflicting fatal damage on the soul. Only those with exceptionally strong mental strength could hope to withstand it.

At first, everything seemed to go as expected. Eduardo, using the Shadow Killing Technique, completely dominated Black Kong, leaving him with no chance to fight back.

But then, in a split second, Eduardo—who had seemed invincible just moments before—was suddenly stabbed through the heart and died instantly.

It all happened so fast that the audience didn’t even have time to process it.
