"This guy has some nerve, making someone from the Webers kneel and apologize!""Is he tired of living?"The bystanders murmured among themselves, astonished by Chase's audacity."You little bastard, what did you just say?!" The young man in fine clothes froze, his face turning a deep shade of red as he sensed the overwhelming energy radiating from Chase.What kind of joke was this? He thought Chase was just bluffing, hoping to intimidate him into leaving."I'll say it one more time—apologize, or die!" Chase's patience had run out. His gaze, now sharp as a blade, revealed his intent to kill without hesitation.Since the situation had escalated to this point, Chase decided to go all in. He was determined to make a statement."Haha! You little brat, you should worry about yourself first!" the young man sneered before leaping forward with a powerful kick aimed at Chase. The wind howled with the strike.Chase remained unfazed, his expression filled with disdain. "Trash like you dare
"I'll escort you ladies out of here," Chase said calmly while turning to his sisters."Chase, let us stay and help you," Quinn responded. Concern was evident in her voice."Don't worry. Trust me."Chase gave her a gentle smile, though reluctance flickered in his eyes. He insisted on seeing them off, ensuring they left safely.As the women's figures disappeared from sight, Chase exhaled slowly and whispered to himself, "I'm sorry. It's my duty to avenge the Collins family and my duty alone. I can't drag you into this."Chase was about to step into a restaurant close to the street when he heard a commotion at the entrance."Move! What are you blocking me for? Do you even know who I am? One call from me, and I'll have hundreds of men here to slaughter your entire family! Get lost!"A cobalt-blue Ferrari screeched to a halt in front of the establishment.Two young men emerged from the car. One of them, dressed in luxurious silk robes, wore a dark scowl. He was accompanied by severa
"Useless fools! What are you waiting for? Beat him to death!" Holden shouted.Inside the restaurant, many diners had been frightened by the commotion and quickly moved aside."That young man is in trouble!""Indeed. That's Holden from the Weber family. That guy is bound to suffer.""The Webers are a powerful family. Even martial lords have to think twice before crossing them..."The onlookers shook their heads in pity, casting sympathetic glances at Chase.From a nearby empty table, a middle-aged man in white let out a sigh and pulled out his phone. He dialed a number before speaking in a low voice, "Mr. Collins... Yes... It's the Webers. They're here. You'd better step in personally..."After ending the call, the man's expression shifted several times. He seemed conflicted but eventually made up his mind.Walking toward Chase, he said respectfully, "Mr. Collins, since the Webers are involved, it might be wise to avoid a confrontation for now.""Oh? And why is that?" Chase ask
In a flash, Chase appeared beside Holden like a phantom. His movements were simply ghostly and swift. Within a moment, he closed the distance and was already standing right next to Holden.Blood splattered through the air.A severed arm flew high into the sky, spinning before crashing to the ground. Holden's agonizing scream echoed throughout the restaurant."How dare you harm Mr. Holden?!"As Holden's cries filled the air, a group of muscular men stormed in from outside. Each one was built like a predator, with lean muscle and a fierce, beast-like aura radiating from their bodies.The spectators gasped, stunned by the sight before them.Holden... lost?"Damn you! Do you even know who I am? Do you know who my uncle is?!" Holden snarled through gritted teeth, clutching the bleeding stump where his arm had been. His face twisted with both pain and fury.The speed at which Chase had attacked left Holden terrified. Chase had moved like lightning.Before Holden could even react, hi
"Barry Weber?""I heard he's a martial lord!"The crowd gasped in disbelief. A martial lord, in the eyes of ordinary people, was like a deity—lofty, beyond reach, and almost divine."Heh. What does a country bumpkin like you know anyway?"This is Capital City, and the Webers hold significant power here! You dare to offend the Webers? You'll pay the price for that. I won't hesitate to send you to your grave personally!" Barry sneered. As Barry took a step forward, a powerful aura surged from him, sweeping over the entire space like a tidal wave.His figure vanished instantly."That speed! What kind of technique is this?""His movements are too strange!""Watch out! He's an innate-level master!"The crowd was overwhelmed with fear, dodging out of the way as cold sweat dripped down their faces.However, Barry's speed was beyond comprehension, leaving everyone stunned.Just when it seemed Barry was about to land a killing blow on Chase, a shadow flickered. Chase's figure sudde
Blades slashed through the air, swords gleamed, and fists shadowed the room in rapid succession.One of the Weber guards even brandished a massive metal hammer, aiming a devastating blow at Chase's skull. He was intent on killing Chase on the spot."Heh, just like ants," Chase muttered, shaking his head. He calmly raised his hand, caught the hammer mid-swing, and crushed it with a crack and another snap.Without missing a beat, Chase flicked his fingers, sending sharp, successive strikes the guards' way. One after another, they were flung to the ground. Their bones shattered, and they all groaned in agony."H-How is this possible?" Holden gasped in disbelief while stumbling backward. His legs were trembling beneath him.The guards were still alive, though their bodies were broken—proof that Chase had held back. If he had wanted to, he could have reduced them to nothing but pulp.A wave of regret crashed over Holden. What kind of fool had he been to provoke such a monster? Chase's
With nothing but his bare hands, Chase effortlessly defeated more than a dozen peak body refinement martial artists. The crowd watching was left stunned, their faces filled with disbelief.In Capital City, martial artists were not uncommon. Many people with martial arts backgrounds chose to train as disciples, but those who could step onto the true path of cultivation were rare, like diamonds in the rough.A martial artist as young and powerful as Chase was even rarer."Hm?"Wells frowned, giving Chase a sharp look. A thought crossed his mind. 'There's something strange about this young man.'Still, Wells remained fearless. With a swift movement, he swung his metal hammer at Chase with all his strength.Chase calmly extended his right hand, spreading his fingers wide as he caught the hammer's handle mid-swing.A wave of immense force burst from the hammer, pressing down on Chase like a tidal wave.Chase's arm trembled slightly, and the seemingly indestructible hammer shattered
A piercing whistle cut through the air as Wells' arms bulged with muscles like coiled dragons. In an instant, he swung his metal hammer with brutal force, aiming directly at Chase's head.However, the seemingly fierce and deadly attack was effortlessly blocked by Chase, his movement almost casual."What?!"Wells' pupils shrank in disbelief, terror gripping his heart. He could not comprehend how this young man's strength could surpass his own. It defied reason!The Weber family's martial arts were renowned throughout Capital City. In a world where spiritual energy was scarce and cultivation was difficult, it was rare to achieve such strength.How could someone so young be stronger than him? Yet the truth stood before him, undeniable."Damn it! How dare you obstruct the Webers? Today, I'll make you pay!"With a roar, Wells attacked again, his speed now far greater. He replaced the hammer with a long spear that was nearly eight feet in length and moved like a serpent as it sliced
The young woman's face flushed red as she hastily pulled her collar together, her wary gaze locked onto Chase."Are you a body-refining martial artist? Attacking me like that was despicable, shameless, and downright vile! I'll kill you to uphold justice!" she shouted indignantly.Chase let out a helpless chuckle. "Miss, I just saved your life, yet instead of thanking me, you call me despicable?"The woman stiffened, her lips parting as if to argue. In the end, however, she lowered her head and muttered an apology, "I lost my composure. Please forgive me."After saying this, she retrieved a dagger from her robe and handed it to Chase. Her expression seemed sincere."My name is Emilia Larsen. This was left to me by my parents. Consider it my way of repaying you for saving my life. I hope you won't refuse it. This dagger is exceptionally sharp—it can slice through iron like it's mud. Keep it safe and don't lose it.""Oh?" Chase raised an eyebrow as he accepted the dagger, examining
The sword shadow was incomparably sharp, moving at blinding speed.Caught off guard, Chase felt a sharp sting as a cut split open his shoulder, sending blood splattering through the air.Pain shot through him. The attack was so fast that he could not even see who had launched it.At that moment, Chase clasped his hands behind his back, his gaze cold and indifferent. Then, he raised a hand and flicked his fingers.A purple-gold flame ignited!The fire landed directly on the white sword shadow. In an instant, it was engulfed in roaring flames, disintegrating into ashes within seconds!"What?!" A shocked gasp echoed from the darkness.Chase sneered, his figure flickering forward like lightning. With a swift kick, he sent the hidden figure sprawling to the ground."Who are you?" A woman's voice shouted in both fear and disbelief from the darkness."You tried to ambush me?" Chase looked down at her, his expression unreadable."H-How did you know?"The figure gasped, her hands fly
In an instant, Chase transformed into an unrivaled demon lord, his mere gestures capable of shattering the void!One by one, the beasts collapsed, all falling beneath Chase's iron fists. Their bodies were reduced to pulp as they died in pools of blood!"T-This… This is insane! Just two punches and he slaughtered eight Ghost Boar monarchs and a tiger-like creature!"A young martial artist watching from a distance was completely dumbfounded. His jaw was hanging open, and he nearly swallowed his own tongue. He had never seen anything so brutal!These were Ghost Boar monarchs, each as powerful as a ferocious beast, yet not a single one could withstand even a single punch. Their skulls were shattered in an instant, with blood spraying in every direction.Chase was not human. He was like a rampaging beast from an ancient wilderness, overflowing with sheer brutality.In the end, only one Ghost Boar monarch remained, the one whose spine Chase had crushed with a single stomp.It lay dyin
The remaining beasts froze in place, their eyes wide with horror. They simply could not comprehend how a frail-looking human could possess such overwhelming strength. The scene before them shattered their understanding of reality."You fools! What are you standing around for? Get over here!"Chase's thunderous voice echoed, filled with unmatched dominance and ruthlessness.One of the Ghost Boar monarchs let out an enraged howl before charging straight at him.The remaining dozen or so followed close behind, snarling viciously as they stormed forward. To them, Chase was nothing more than prey!"You want to die?" A cold glint flashed in Chase's eyes, his killing intent surging.He said nothing more. His figure vanished in a blur as he shot forward like lightning while his fist swung down with devastating force!The first charging Ghost Boar monarch was sent flying, its body instantly flattening as blood splattered across the ground.Without pausing, Chase stepped forward and smas
Despite his recent breakthrough, Chase's attention was drawn elsewhere. He was more concerned that the corpse of the massive Ghost Boar had been completely devoured!Not just that, but three other Ghost Boar carcasses nearby had also been torn apart, likely taken down by someone else."Since I'm already here in this valley, I might as well take a look."Muttering to himself, Chase's figure flickered, and he rushed down from the hilltop in the next instant.One of the remaining Ghost Boars let out a violent roar the moment Chase appeared.His expression remained calm. With a swift motion, he swung his fist downward.A deep, muffled impact echoed.The Ghost Boar staggered backward with blood seeping from its mouth!Enraged, the Ghost Boar howled and charged straight at Chase, aiming to ram into him with its massive bulk.Chase's eyebrow twitched as he effortlessly dodged aside.Then, in one fluid motion, he leaped onto the boar's back, grabbing a fistful of its bristly mane bef
Chase lifted his leg and kicked a Ghost Boar into the air.On the other side, a towering Ghost Boar charged at him, its body covered in thick armor-like skin. Even for Chase, taking it down in one strike would not be easy."Get lost!" Chase snorted coldly, delivering a sharp palm strike to the boar's neck. He sliced it clean through, severing its entire arm!The Ghost Boar shrieked, stumbling away in agony. However, Chase chased it down, stepped on its tail, and twisted hard.A piercing wail echoed through the battlefield.Grabbing the boar's tail, Chase swung it into the ground, shaking the earth beneath them. At that moment, several more Ghost Boars approached, but this time, they halted their advance. Standing three feet away, they refused to take another step forward."What's this? You're afraid now?" Chase smirked.Despite his fierce battle, he had exhausted a great deal of energy. His true energy was nearly depleted. He needed to replenish it.One of the smaller, weaker G
"You're just a mere beast! Get lost!" Chase let out a sharp breath, kicking the Ghost Boar in the stomach.The boar let out a miserable shriek, its body hurtling dozens of feet away. It smashed through countless ancient trees before it finally came to a stop.Suddenly, from atop a small hill, a snow-white fox with wings sprouting from its back lunged toward Chase. Its presence was even more menacing than the Ghost Boar's, and its speed was terrifyingly fast.The moment it opened its mouth, razor-sharp teeth gleamed like knives, ready to tear him apart.It moved too fast! In the blink of an eye, it closed in on Chase, its fangs already aiming for his throat!Just then, a fair hand smacked down on the fox's head. With a single slap, Chase sent it soaring through the air! He felt a rush of excitement in his chest."What incredible strength!"This was the first time he had executed a martial technique.Yet even relying solely on his physical body, he could tell that he had grown tw
Chase had indeed spotted a treasure, but he also sensed the danger that came with it. He did not dare to act rashly, fearing that he would not be able to withstand its power and might lose his life instead."Heavenly treasures like this often contain immense energy fluctuations. This orb… It might help refine my true energy and strengthen my martial veins…""This brat… He's still alive?" Just as the warrior was about to continue his hunt, he was stunned to see the supposedly unconscious Chase slowly getting back on his feet, staggering toward him."You're still standing?" His brows furrowed in surprise before his expression turned cold."Well, since you survived, I'll use you as a sacrifice!"Before the words even fully left his mouth, his steel whip lashed out, streaking through the air like a venomous serpent, striking straight at Chase's throat!"You're courting death."Chase let out a cold laugh, his hand shooting out to seize the whip. With a forceful yank, he sent the warr
Suddenly, a terrified howl echoed from deep within the forest. A white blur shot out from the trees, fleeing in panic. It was a gray wolf—one of the jungle's fastest predators.The moment Chase saw it, his expression shifted sharply. Without hesitation, he activated Wind Stride, his figure flickering as he dodged the incoming attack from the wolf beast.The young warrior riding the panther beast caught sight of the commotion by the riverbank. His gaze sharpened."A stray mutt dares to steal my food?"He spurred his mount forward, raising his arm. His spear lunged forward like a venomous serpent, streaking toward the riverbank."Get lost!"Chase's heart pounded. With no time to think, he clenched his iron fists and swung with all his strength.The spear snapped in two. A sharp, numbing pain shot up Chase's arm as his palm was torn open with blood dripping from his fingers.The mounted warrior smirked, his lips curling with mockery."A mere mortal dares to challenge my spear?"
