Glock was shocked as he quickly retreated.His powers surpassed Rick's, but compared to the young man in front of him, it was like comparing the light of a firefly to the moonlight. There was no comparison."My sword was refined by the Webers' master blacksmith's mystic technique! Normal warriors can't withstand its blade! Damn it! How did you manage to withhold it?!"Glock clenched his teeth. He was filled with hatred.No wonder that blade was so sharp. Chase was slightly astonished as he could not help being impressed by the Webers' great wealth."Stop struggling," Chase said with a taunting smile. He dealt a punch, and Glock was immediately beaten back. Glock crashed into a wall which crumbled from the impact, and he fell to the ground.Chase did not kill Glock.It was because Chase knew that there was someone powerful behind Glock and that person would not be easy to deal with."Who exactly are you? How dare you create trouble at the Weber residence?!" A pitiful howl co
Chase kicked the man away, and he died right away.The remaining black-robed old men looked utterly shocked. "You… You're a peak martial lord, a martial arts master?""Hmph!"Chase did not reply. He stepped forward and moved like a flash of lightning. He appeared right in front of the man who spoke and slapped hard. The old man fell to the ground."It doesn't matter if you're a martial arts master. The Webers have many powerful people. An outsider like you can never imagine their power."The last black-robed old man roared as dozens of silver needles floated in the air. The needles filled up every space around, shooting straight at Chase."This is nothing but a party trick. Are you trying to show off in front of me?" Chase sneered as he leaped, dodging a round of silver needles."What?!" The old man's eyes widened. This was his most powerful attack. He did not expect Chase to dodge it so easily.Chase moved in a flash. He was like a phantom as he suddenly appeared at the side o
"I'm begging you, please save me. If you save me, I'll give myself to you!" the woman said with clenched teeth."Oh?"Chase glanced at her in astonishment. There was a taunting look in his eye. "Since you've put it that way, it seems I have no choice but to save you."The woman lowered her head shyly.Realization dawned upon Chase. She was trying to seduce him.After all, even if someone were demoted in the Weber residence, many influential and wealthy parties would still fight to butter them up. If any young heir became interested in her, she would step up in life with a bright future!Chase contemplated this.He was interested in the woman. After all, he needed money to buy medicinal herbs. It would even be better if he could get himself a lover and have children.While he was thinking about this, the woman suddenly stood up.She moved fast and slipped behind Chase's back. A dagger flashed in the light as it came down at Chase.Chase grunted coldly and turned back to grab t
Chase was unfeeling and cold."I told you that I won't kill you today."He slapped Francesco almost immediately. He screamed as his teeth flew out of his mouth.Chase reached out to grab Francesco by the collar and raise him up.Francesco's face turned pale as he quickly begged for mercy, "Please let me go…""Let you go?"The entire Weber residence went on high alert almost instantly as guards began flowing in."It's Mr. Francesco Levi!""He's hurt! Which scoundrel did it to him?""That's impossible. Our security is tight here. No one can come in here easily."All of the guards began discussing this. They were all frightened at the sight of how horribly Francesco had ended up."Didn't you say you wanted to kill me, Francesco?" Chase said calmly while standing at the door.Francesco looked fearful. "I was wrong. I shouldn't have offended you!""It's too late to admit your mistake now." Chase shook his head. He sighed and said, "You chose to go against me, so I'm just return
"The Webers have been strong for hundreds of years and are a renowned traditional family. Aren't you afraid of dying by coming here to offend the Webers?" Hyde asked coldly."You're just a minor family. If you're gone, you're gone," Chase said calmly."What arrogance!" Hyde shouted. He continued speaking haughtily with his hands behind his back, "Do you have any idea that the Webers' ancestors used to have a martial monarch during the establishment of the Webers? His cultivation level is unfathomable."How dare you create trouble here if you know that?!" Hyde roared."A martial monarch… Is that very powerful?" Chase laughed as he shook his head."You…" Hyde was enraged."I would advise you to kneel right now. I might consider sparing your life and letting you live," Chase said calmly."How impudent!" Hyde was infuriated. "The Webers won't be fooled about by you!"Hyde suddenly burst with strong true energy, sending reverberations through the air. The true energy formed two sh
Hyde's arm dislocated as it fell limply at the side. His expression was contorted from the pain."How dare you maim my arm?!" Hyde roared as he looked up. There was a vicious look in his eye."I've dominated this world for hundreds of years, and no one has ever dared to say a word against the Webers. Who do you think you are to maim me?!"Be prepared for what I'll do to make you suffer a fate worse than death. I'll make sure that you get a taste of the world's most cruel torture and that you'll end up dying with immense pain!"The Webers are powerful and have a long history. Our people have various rare and miraculous spiritual herbs. Even if you're physically strong and powerful, you won't win against the Webers!"Hyde looked like he had gone mad.It was not only because the Webers' ancestors had passed down knowledge that made them powerful; it was also because they possessed an immense wealth of treasures that included many rare pills and various mystical techniques. If they
All of the martial artists watching this were astounded by the sight. Their eyes widened with dazed expressions as they looked on in disbelief. Was this really the Hyde Weber they knew?"Hyde Weber is kneeling on the ground because of one swing of the metal bat.""That's too exaggerated!""Who exactly is that young man?"Everyone was shocked. It was simply unbelievable!Such a thing was too incredulous! Hyde was a martial artist! He was also a midway martial artist saint!However, Chase had defeated Hyde easily."You're dead!"Hyde was utterly humiliated. He wished fervently he could be buried in a deep hole.What an insult! This was an absolute insult!He was wounded by a young man and was even kneeling in front of him.Chase laughed coldly."I told you that I came here to destroy the Webers."There was a loud thunderous boom that rang throughout the Weber residence.Chase's legs exerted strength as he sprinted speedily. His metal bat came swinging with ruthless power.
At that moment, Chase swung his iron rod like a windmill, effortlessly knocking down three bodyguards. Hyde barely had a chance to catch his breath.The last bodyguard, frozen with fear, turned to flee. He never imagined that this young man in black could possess such overwhelming strength!Before the guard could take another step, a punch landed squarely on his chest.With a muffled groan, the bodyguard was sent flying backward and crashed hard onto the ground."No!" Hyde's heart pounded with terror and disbelief. A proud disciple of the Webers could not even handle a mere boy? If word got out, it would be utterly humiliating!"I'll kill you!"Hyde's enraged roar echoed throughout the entire restaurant. He gritted his teeth and summoned every ounce of strength he had left, channeling his true energy.The air vibrated violently as a brilliant light emerged behind him, forming a fierce, snarling wolf with razor-sharp fangs. It lunged toward Chase as if it wanted to devour him.T
"I know I'm not your match," Ford said, bowing his head. "So, I willingly admit defeat. But I still want to see the Holy Path with my own eyes. That is why... I'm making this shameless request."His explanation actually made sense.Chase and the others already knew that Sky Dragon Holy Land was founded by the dragons who had ascended from the lower realm. It was not difficult to believe that they had the secret techniques needed to transmit battle footage.It also meant that all the rumors about Chase being a mysterious hidden expert were probably a joke among the major Holy Lands and sects. At least, among those sects that had close ties with Sky Dragon Holy Land, they probably already knew about Chase's true strength.Maybe all the Saints and Saintesses who had shown up at this little tournament in Light Divine City were actually here just to test Chase's abilities.Realizing this, Chase chuckled quietly and said, "Of course, you can come along, Ford. But first, I have to actual
After stepping down from the stage, Chase did not waste any time on unnecessary words.He quickly avoided the crowd of onlookers who acted like crazed fans and returned to the reserved inn room with Willow and the others."Tomorrow, your opponent will be the Saint of Sky Dragon Holy Land, Ford," Walter said excitedly."They say Sky Dragon Holy Land was established by the dragons who ascended from the fifth level. You thrashed the Lightning Dragon back on the fifth level the last time, so this time should be just as easy.""Where'd you get such reliable information?" Willow asked, feeling a little surprised.After all, with Walter's rather fearsome appearance—looking every bit like a bandit—most people would not want anything to do with him."I have dragon blood, remember?" Walter patted his chest proudly."Last time, after absorbing the Poison Dragon's core and a good amount of blood essence, the concentration of my dragon lineage became strong enough to catch Sky Dragon Holy La
On the main stage, Chase watched the sea of runes flying toward him. Suddenly, a spark of understanding struck him.He channeled his vital energy into the right index finger that had fused with the divine bone. Recalling the sword manual techniques, streaks of lightning-infused vital energy shot forth as sword energy.He moved his finger through the air, as if painting across the void. Each stroke unleashed a brilliant sword aura, razor-sharp and unstoppable, shattering everything in its path.Jade's rune barrage was broken apart one by one. Fragments of spiritual light and shattered runes drifted through the air.Every slash of Chase's sword aura was executed with such precision that not a single movement was wasted. The angles and trajectories were so perfect that each attack struck the runes at their most vulnerable points, maximizing impact.Among the spectators, only Carla, Fallon, and Ford—who had just rushed over—could truly appreciate the brilliance of his swordplay.More
"But the Light Divine Pearl is a creation-grade treasure. It's still only at the martial god level. It's far from being fully awakened," Fallon said with a frown.While the two spoke, Jade and Chase had already clashed head-on. Jade had unleashed her Thousand Eyes and Flowers.Countless ancient runes, shining with brilliance, shot out from the light screen behind her. Each rune faintly contained the essence of martial arts, distorting the space as they passed.If one's cultivation was insufficient, one's mind and soul would likely be shaken first, followed by one's body being pierced by the runes.As the rain of runes blasted toward Chase like a raging storm, the spectators below gasped as they were finally witnessing a truly grand spectacle.Willow and the others were awed by the sheer momentum of Jade's ultimate move. Although they knew Chase would not be harmed, they could not help but feel anxious."Can Chase block it?" Lisa asked worriedly while glancing at Willow."My mast
Jade gritted her teeth as she gathered all her vital energy, preparing to unleash her ultimate move. It was the very origin of her title—Thousand Eyes and Flowers.Behind her, a vital energy screen spread open like a peacock fanning its tail.The surface was covered with intricate patterns, resembling the eye-like spots on a peacock's feathers.These patterns were not mere decorations. Each one was an ancient rune, capable of releasing a devastating vital energy attack.When Jade unleashed this move, everyone below gasped in shock."No way, this is just a friendly tournament match. Does Jade really need to go this far?""Should we reinforce the arena's defensive array? I'm afraid someone might get caught in the crossfire.""Tsk, tsk, it's been so long since we last saw Jade lose her temper. She's even more stunning when she is angry!""You're such a pervert. If you get hit by that move, there will not even be a corpse left of you!""You don't understand. There are worse ways t
Inside Universal Holy Land, Clive and his master were facing off against the woman suspected to be the Dark Divine Pearl. Meanwhile, at Light Divine City, Chase's fourth round at the tournament's semifinals had already begun.His opponent was Jade, the Saintess of Modest Lady Holy Land, also known as Thousand Eyes and Flowers.It was already extremely rare for two contestants with such a rare same surname to appear in the same tournament. They belonged to different factions yet both were advancing to the final few rounds. Not to mention, if Yara had revealed his phoenix bloodline and inheritance, he might have very well made it to the finals too.The people with the surname Fries were terrifying beyond words!These were the thoughts running through Chase's head for no particular reason. On the other hand, after Jade saluted, she launched her attack without hesitation.Chase, still a bit distracted, was startled by the ferocity of her strike. Such a name and demeanor, paired with
Skyler spoke proudly.Clive kept having the feeling that something did not seem right when he heard Skyler's words."The Holy Path will only open after winning the tournament championship. Only those selected by the champion can enter. I was already eliminated in the second round…" Clive stammered."Won't you become the champion after killing the current champion? Isn't killing Chase Collins what you want to do?" Skyler was frustrated with Clive.Clive finally realized what felt wrong about all of this."You're not Skyler," he said coldly.The Universal Element Priest had also locked down on Skyler with his vital energy at this point. "Reveal yourself. Who are you? What did you do to Skyler?""Oh? How did you know?" Skyler was taken aback but quickly calmed down and asked the question. "What's wrong with my charisma and appearance?"He looked at his body and clothes while asking the questions with curiosity and calmness. This person had admitted to pretending to be Skyler."Fir
"His will is a blur." Clive sounded helpless when he added, "But it's a will that is extremely frightening and evil."He had the right to this opinion as someone who had faced Klondike directly.When Klondike's will was directed at him, Clive could feel unlimited fear and helplessness. Any second more of facing Klondike might make him lose his mind.He could barely take the energy pumped into him. He only managed to get through it because of his guilt for Rania and his desire to live.The thought of begging Klondike was equivalent to seeing death.There was one reason why he was brave enough to talk about Klondike with the Universal Element Priest and Skyler. It was because Klondike was in a stage of being half awake and half asleep. Clive only dared to discuss Klondike when he was asleep.However, speaking of anything that crossed the line would attract his attention, and Clive was not willing to see that happen.The Universal Element Priest and Skyler glanced at each other. The
Both of those disciples thought they could see Skyler lose his temper, but he reacted calmly. The attempts to fan the situation seemed to have failed. Had they lost credibility with Skyler for their misguided actions?They broke into a cold sweat from fear.Those disciples had offended the previous and current Saints. It looked like they had just made life tougher for themselves.They glanced at each other and gave a long sigh.…Inside Universal Element Palace, Clive had placed Rania down on a training mat while he knelt in front of his master, the Universal Element Priest. "Master, please save Rania North. I'm willing to pay any price without regrets!"He spoke with great determination, and there was a grim look on his face."Silly boy." The Universal Element Priest glanced at Clive and sighed."Rania North seems to have been poisoned by a vicious curse and an extraterritorial poison. I can temporarily save her life, but her face…" He shook his head."I'm grateful enough that
