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
"Ouch!""What a powerful man! He maimed two men in black with one move!""He has incredible skills and a strong body. What level is this body training skill?"The passersby who crowded around were stunned and looked shocked.Chase ignored their comments and continued heading toward the alley. When the passersby saw this, they immediately ran after him to stop him. They shouted, "Stop right there!""Get lost!" Chase frowned and said coldly."You rascal! Don't think you're so great just because you defeated both of them. There are three helm masters with the Night Pavilion. You'll die no matter how powerful you are!""Just hand over what you have and I guarantee that you'll stay alive.""If I report this to the helm masters, they'll skin you alive and turn you to dust!""Do you think I'm stupid? You want me to hand whatever I have to you? Even a dumb person would know that you're lying. Moreover, I'm not stupid!" Chase laughed at them tauntingly.Everyone's expression changed s
The man in black howled with pain.He had wanted to use this attack to pull closer to Chase and kill him with one move! The man did not expect Chase to react so quickly and defend himself against the attack with one palm move.This young man's power was terrifying!'Damn it! No! I'm not his match! I have to inform the others right now!' the man in black thought with clenched teeth as he stared at Chase. After that, he made a run for it without looking back.Chase smiled coldly with disdain. He stood on his toes and leaped as he flew over.The man in black turned back, only to feel a huge pain in his chest. The next thing he knew, he was sent flying off.He coughed up blood, drenching his mask in it."What's going on?""Where is that man?""Is he gone?"Everyone looked around and saw a corpse lying on the ground not far away. He was covered in blood and was no longer breathing."Is he dead?""Did that man do it?" Everyone was stunned and in shock.Chase put down his hand
Chase launched a palm attack immediately after, which hit Troy in the abdomen.Troy coughed up blood and crashed into the wall like garbage. His body was contorted as it twitched. His face was flushed red, and he felt so horrible that he almost passed out."Don't be in such a hurry." Chase smiled brightly. "My mission is to save people, after all. If you don't want to be beaten up, get lost.""You…" Troy struggled to stand up and glared viciously at Chase.They were here today to find out who Chase really was and to teach him a lesson. They wanted him to understand that the Night Pavilion was not an entity a nobody like him could offend."I'll beat up however many people you send today!"Chase's declaration was shocking. He announced with great flair, "Of course, you can choose to run, but you might have to pay with your life!"Troy and the other five members looked at each other before bursting out laughing."How can an ant who's only a martial lord say something so arrogant?"
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
The man had just commented to his junior when a sharp sword aura came swishing toward him. It sliced off half of his fringe, and his knees buckled from fear. If the sword had moved an inch further, his skull would have been sliced off."Shut your trap!" Clive's cold voice was heard. It was filled with murder. He had ignored all the criticisms directed at him. However, he pulled his sword out when the man insulted Rania."This is my woman. Insult her again, and I promise you will not see the sun rise tomorrow." Clive turned and continued walking forward without looking back.When he finally vanished from sight, a tall, dashing man came forward with a sword behind his back."Is Clive around?"He asked the two Universal Holy Land disciples who had just seen Clive."Clive just went inside to see the master, Skyler," one of them replied respectfully."Oh. What a coincidence. Um… What happened to your hair?" Skyler suddenly noticed the fringe of the disciple answering him had been slic
"If everything goes as planned, I'll be heading to the Holy Path with Chase Collins." Yara put the small, white bottle into his storage pouch as he spoke in a low voice."There's no hurry for this. I need to make proper arrangements at the Evil Shadow Sect first. Carla secretly set up the Severance Formation at the locations where Norm Weber and I were cultivating in isolation. She wanted to trap us inside and see us dead! I must have my revenge for that."The Holy Path won't happen immediately. You'll make it there eventually. Don't worry too much about it."Tack's eyes turned sharp at the mention of Carla. He and Norm had taken pains to nurture and groom Carla to become the sect master of the Evil Shadow Sect.Yet she showed ingratitude to their efforts by trying to kill them just to be with that rascal, Fallon Locke.Carla was a heartless woman who had no loyalty or filial piety. Such a vicious woman should find it lucky if all they did for revenge was to kill her.Tack saved N
Yara returned to his room at the inn after exiting the tournament venue. He checked the room carefully for any signs of intruders entering his room. He then took out a talisman from his storage pouch and blew gently on it.The talisman started to burn, and gentle smoke slowly billowed in the air. A formation formed instantly, and the entire room was cut off from the outside world.After that, Yara took out a messaging talisman. He touched the image of an old man on it. The next moment, the old man's image projected in front of him. He looked to be about 50 or 60. The old man had a head of white hair and a white beard. He was also wearing a big, red robe as he held a chowrie in his hand."Chase Collins took the bait, master," Yara said respectfully to the old man."Good job. You'll be rewarded well once this is done." The old man whisked his chowrie and laughed. He added, "Get his primordial essence, understand?"He lowered his voice when giving the instruction. When he bent his hea
After all, Chase had to bring Yara along if they were really going to the Holy Path.Chase would not be able to hide it from them then. It was better to be honest with them from the start."What? He needed something from you? Will he come over to see you tonight?" Willow's question had Lisa and Walter exchanging a glance.Chase had no idea how to respond. "What are you thinking, Willow? Sweep those dirty thoughts out of your mind."He berated Willow.Willow realized what she had just said and quickly apologized. "Oh, that's not what I meant. I just wanted to ask what you meant by him needing your help."Chase sighed. "To put it in a nutshell, Yara has phoenix bloodline and requires the Light Divine Pearl's help to receive the Rising powers of the Phoenix Deity. He knows that I have hope of getting the Light Divine Pearl, which is why he came to me."Willow and Walter were stunned."The Phoenix Deity? Isn't that one of the Five Major Demon Saints who holds the same standing as th
