"What do you need me to help you with?""You don't need to be in a hurry to reject me. If you agree to it, you can leave this place anytime once this issue has been settled. Also, you'll be compensated slightly," Chase said."Compensated?" Claude was taken aback."That's right. I'll help you elevate your cultivation," Chase said calmly. "Your cultivation has been completely destroyed, and you need to cultivate to stage five martial lord immediately to recover. Otherwise, you'll end up a useless man for life!""That's impossible!" Claude shook his head. He knew how difficult it was to cultivate a technique, much less achieve a breakthrough to stage five martial lord in a short time."You have no choice. You can choose to reject my offer, which means I'll kill you right now. Otherwise, you can only do what I say."You should know how deadly the poison inside a Pulse Crushing Pill is after taking it. You won't be able to bear it."Pulse Crushing Pills were a common poison that coul
Chase took out a few medicinal herbs and flung them at Claude."Do what I say. Otherwise, you're dead," Chase said coldly.Claude lowered his head and said nothing. There was a long silence. "I can help you, but you have to tell me how you're going to make me stronger," Claude looked up and asked with a savage look on his face."Back then, the last pavilion master died when his life essence was exhausted before he could become a martial arts overlord. He died right at the moment he was about to achieve a breakthrough to martial arts overlord. "I can help you achieve the state of martial arts overlord. As for how much you're able to elevate your cultivation, it would depend on you," Chase said calmly."Alright. I agree to help you," Claude nodded.Chase reached out his right index finger and drew in the air. A drop of blood flew out and shot right into Claude's forehead.Claude immediately felt a sharp pain in his head. It felt like something had shot into his brain. It was the
The middle-aged man in white was taken aback. He could not help asking, "Mr. Collins, are you planning on refining pills?""That's right. Don't worry. I won't cheat or lie since I'm here to work with the Night Pavilion. I'm not the kind of person who abuses my power to bully the weak," Chase said seriously.The man felt his heart sink when he heard Chase. His face turned cold as he said grimly to Chase, "THe Night Pavilion is an assassin organization. We would never do something like that. Are you here to see certain death?"Chase raised an eyebrow. "I'm not the kind of rich party boy who enjoys making up stories."The man's expression changed, and there was a flash of murder in his eye.Chase was not bothered to waste time talking to him and swung his hand. The man in white was instantly hit and flew into the air. His chest collapsed, and several of his ribs were broken. He fell to the ground and passed out."I don't have a great temper, and I kill easily. Don't try to anger me,
Chase looked at them coldly. He raised his leg and swept at them with a kick.Screams of pain were heard everywhere. The guards flew away from the impact of the kick. They slammed on the wall and coughed up blood.It took only a few seconds for the guards to be killed. They did not even have the time to react, but it was nothing to Chase.Chase clapped his hands and looked at the middle-aged man in white who was trembling. "Are you leaving, or do you want me to send you off?"The man knelt on the ground and said while crying, "Have mercy, Mr. Collins! I won't repeat this mistake. Please let me live…"Chase raised his hand and slapped him twice. "Remember my name. I'm Chase Collins. From now onward, if you dare disrespect me, you'll pay with your life! Get lost."Chase waved him off, and the man in white felt pardoned. He quickly got up and ran off. Any slower and he might be killed."Now that I'm back, I need some money to spend. I bet the Night Pavilion has lots of valuable thi
"I told you this has nothing to do with you. Get out!" Rouge's expression suddenly changed, and she glared viciously at the muscled man.The muscled man's expression stiffened. He opened his mouth but said nothing. He left silently."Hmph! You should know better!"Chase grunted coldly. It scared Rouge, making her turn pale. She could not stop shuddering as she quickly knelt to the ground. "Please forgive me, Mr. Collins!""Tell me who's the pavilion master of the Night Pavilion!" Chase said coldly, his tone quite intimidating.Rouge clenched her teeth. "Mr. Collins, you offended Capital City's Webers when you killed all their people. They'll come to you for revenge. Why not join the Night Pavilion? With capabilities like yours, we can help keep you safe from assassination attempts.""The Webers?" Chase broke out with a laugh. "The Webers can't do anything to me!"He gave a wave of his hand while he spoke, and some pills appeared on the table."Take them and bring me to see your
"That's nothing!"Chase focused as he counter-attacked with his palm. Powerful inner strength came shooting out.The old man flew backward at the impact and crashed into a row of tables and chairs. He held his hand to his chest and coughed a few times. He was stunned as he looked at Chase and was overwhelmed by shock.It was only one move, and he could already tell Chase's cultivation. He was a peak martial lord!This cultivation level was enough for him to suffer a loss!The old man took a deep breath, and there was a cautious look on his face. "Who are you? Why are you poking into the Night Pavilion's business?""I want to destroy the Night Pavilion and find the mastermind behind you!" Chase said coldly."How arrogant of you! The Night Pavilion has been here for centuries. You can't destroy us with just one word.""Cut the crap. If death is what you choose, I'll make your wish come true!"Chase launched an attack right away. He moved like lightning and appeared in front of t
Chase frowned. "Cut the crap and tell me the answer."The muscular man sniggered and said, "If you're interested, I can let you have a look, but let me finish my work first."Chase knew that he was being played for a fool again.However, he did not lose his temper. He smiled instead and said, "If you're busy, we can chat another day."Chase turned to leave after that."Hah! Mr. Collins, you're quite a reasonable man," the man said in a low voice. He immediately buried his head into his documents and focused on scribbling once more.Chase left the study and prepared to return to his house."Huh?"He suddenly sensed danger.Chase stopped walking immediately and looked around him warily. The next moment, he heard a chilling and eerie laugh. It sent chills down one's spine."Hehehe… The pavilion master must have mentioned that I'm the Night Pavilion's top assassin, Death Hunter!"A few masked men dressed in black rushed toward Chase at lightning speed right after he heard the vo
"No! I don't want to die!"The pitiful screams echoed on the empty streets, scaring many passersby.Chase stared coldly at them. "You should've known how you'd end up if you chose to join the Night Pavilion."Not only did they rob commoners, but they even slaughtered villages!Chase had a bad impression of the Night Pavilion. If it were not for the sake of Capital City's security, he would have destroyed the Night Pavilion and stopped their evil acts.The purple flames cracked and formed a huge lotus shape. It enveloped all the men in black.Their screaming suddenly stopped. When the purple flames vanished, the ground was filled with corpses. That was when noises could be heard coming from afar."Huh? What's that?""I think a fight just happened over there.""Come on, let's go take a look!"It was not long before dozens of passersby came crowding. They saw Chase standing among the corpses nonchalantly. They looked at each other.Was there a problem with this young man?Was
Meanwhile, Chase was glowing in gold light, looking like a God of War.He was dressed to hunt, and there was a cold look in his eye. He displayed no emotions, acting like all he had done was kill an ant.Chase pulled out his sword, where blood was dripping down the blade.He turned to leave and headed to look for the Webers. Now that he was done with the Starks, it was time to take care of the Webers.Chase thought about this as he walked there. The Starks were one of the most wealthy families in Capital City. It did not bother him to destroy the Starks, but he had to find a good reason to do so or it might make others suspicious."Forget about it. I'll destroy the Weber Secret Sect first before thinking about this."Not long after, Chase arrived at the door of the Weber Secret Sect. He pushed the door open and strode in.The guards of the Weber Secret Sect saw Chase barge in and shouted, "Who dares come into the Weber Secret Sect?!" Chase kept silent as he continued walking i
"Who exactly is that young man? Why haven't I heard of him? The Starks are finished for making such a powerful enemy."Chase was decisive and resolute. He was ruthless, which frightened many of the Starks' guards.He closed his eyes to rest. Thin, black smoke began wafting out of his body and it eventually covered everything around Chase. No one was able to get near him.This was a lonely mountain peak that was far away from the bustling city.After some time, a car came by and parked near the mountain."Bastard!"Someone roared in misery. Theo Stark jumped out of his car. He was furious and roared with great anger.He looked at the abandoned house in front of him. Sorrow, fear, and revenge consumed him. His roars echoed all around."Chase Collins! Where is my son, Tank?!"He ran toward the ruins crazily.Just as Theo was about to get inside, he suddenly sensed a great danger. The next thing he knew, the mountain began shaking. It felt like the sky was about to fall. Theo was
Something sped by in the air, and several powerful auras were coming in close."Who are you? How dare you slaughter the Starks?"The man in the lead grunted coldly. He had a spear in his hand and came speeding over in a flash to stab Chase in the back.Chase did not look back. He raised his left hand and flicked his finger. There was a loud bang, and the spear broke into pieces. Turning back, he waved his hand. The dagger shot out midair and stabbed right between the man's eyes."H-How is this possible…" The man's eyes widened as he looked at Chase in disbelief. His mouth moved as if trying to say something, but his body gradually turned cold and stiff. This happened in a flash.By the time the other powerful auras appeared, the man with the spear was dead."Who are you?!" The two men were shocked. They were looking at Chase in great astonishment."I should be the one asking who you are," Chase sneered, his eyes narrowing.The two old men stepped forward and said in a deep voic
Chase saw that the entire living room was covered in blood. The walls were filled with various frightening torture tools."Is this how the Starks treat their guests?" Chase's expression was cold. He said this slowly and carefully, making sure every word was heard.The Starks!They were crossing the line!"Who's there?!"An angry voice was heard from deep inside the house. It was followed by violent coughing.A young man with messy hair struggled to stand. He was covered in blood. An arm fell limply below his shoulders. The cut on it was clean, and it was a horrifying sight to see.His eyes were bloodshot as he stared at Chase. "You worthless ant, you—pfft!"He only managed a few words before his throat caught something and he coughed up blood."Who are you? The Starks have never crossed paths with you. Why do you want me dead?!" He was a member of the Starks, and he questioned Chase with clenched teeth.A name immediately appeared in Chase's mind at the sight of this Stark fa
The elder was furious with what the Gold Devouring Voodoo Bug did."Damn it! You destroyed everything I had!"He was filled with anger. His eyes were red as he yelled hysterically. His voice was shrill, and it sounded like the shrill of a banshee."Did you think you were the only one who knew how to use voodoo?" Chase grunted coldly."Impossible! How could you know restricted mystical techniques?" The elder was in disbelief. Only a direct descendent of the clan was qualified to cultivate the Gold Devouring Voodoo Bug."Nothing is impossible in this world," Chase said with conviction.He flicked his fingers after that, and a green talisman appeared. It exploded with a loud bang and formed into a burning ball of flame.Two balls of flame came flying over and sat on each side of Chase's shoulder. The flames burned furiously as they formed into fire armor that covered him. His defense increased."You must die…"The elder laughed crazily.He waved his hand, and two wooden puppets
Chase's eyes narrowed as he observed the mountain of gold and jewels gleaming before him. They were treasures of immense value.He cast a cold glance at the glittering heap and shook his head. "These baubles are worth less than your pitiful insects. They don't even qualify to buy your life."Before his words faded, Chase extended his hand, unleashing a sharp burst of sword energy.The sword energy tore through the treasure, shattering the gold and jewels into dust, leaving not a single piece intact."I told you, you'll die a miserable death." The elder clenched his teeth while his fists trembled with rage.Suddenly, the space around them became distorted. A strange and eerie energy weaved itself into a cage that encased Chase."Devouring Spirit Ghost Domain!" the elder roared, his bloodshot eyes wide with madness. "You're doomed! I'll make you suffer every imaginable torment before you die!"Chase felt the oppressive atmosphere around him intensify, the air thick with the mournf
"You're doomed!" the elder spat venomously, his eyes ablaze with hatred.The Gold Devouring Voodoo Bugs were not so easily eradicated. Their corpses would transform into sustenance for dormant eggs within them, allowing the swarm to regrow stronger and more voracious than before. Eventually, they would consume their hosts' life essence entirely."I'll make sure you'll die without even leaving a corpse behind!" the elder bellowed, his voice tinged with madness.The desolate front yard crumbled under the destructive force of their battle, leaving not a single brick or stone intact.The elder's tattered robes fell apart, revealing a body covered in deep sword wounds. Blood gushed out from every gash. Yet he persisted, his resolve remaining unshaken. He believed Chase was merely a newly-ascended peak semi-saint, far from being a match for him."You won't win—not while I have the Gold Devouring Voodoo Bugs!" he roared, his bloodshot eyes burning with frenzy. "As long as they exist, I'l
A golden rune floated in Chase's palm, shimmering with radiant energy.The rune collided with the rusted blade, scattering dazzling sparks into the air."What?!" the elder exclaimed, his pupils constricting."Do you think a piece of worthless scrap metal can harm me? How laughable." Chase shook his head. He flicked his fingers, and the golden rune expanded to the size of a hand. In an instant, it transformed into a blazing flame that radiated intense heat. It spread in all directions."What kind of technique is this?"The elder's face twisted in fear. He leaped back, trying to escape, but the golden flames spread rapidly as they devoured everything in their path. Grass and leaves turned to ash in moments, and even the soil melted under its heat.When a single ember touched the elder's body, smoke began to rise from his flesh, causing him immense pain. The flames were not just hot—they burned through flesh and blood with ease."No! This fire is too dangerous. I can't let it touch
The elder was utterly astonished, unable to believe what he had witnessed.The Nine Dragons Shield was a forbidden technique that consumed immense amounts of vital energy to activate. Even martial arts saints who used it would suffer grave consequences, potentially causing their cultivation level to permanently regress."Who are you?" he demanded."Who I am doesn't matter," Chase replied, his tone calm yet piercing. "What matters is that I can kill you."Another bolt of lightning crashed down from the heavens.Chase stood still, unmoving, letting the lightning strike his body.Blood spattered as his clothes were shredded. His shoulders and back bore scorch marks from the impact. He smirked and said, "Not bad. This level of lightning barely affects me."As soon as he spoke, Chase launched a punch. The force of his strike condensed into a tangible blast. It was like a meteor crashing down, slamming into the elder's chest.A dull thud echoed as the elder's body convulsed violently
