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?"
This punch hit Troy right in the stomach. He flew out from the impact, breaking through the roof of the room. He ended up falling into the garden.The other Night Pavilion members panicked when they witnessed this.They never thought that Troy would be defeated.Troy had the highest cultivation and was the most powerful fighter among all of Night Pavilion's disciples. Troy was a martial arts legend, but even he could not take Chase's attack.What was even more unbelievable was that Chase was just a peak martial lord!"H-How is he so powerful?!""Run! Something isn't right about him. Don't fight him head-on!""We should report this!"The rest of them were scared silly and quickly ran out."Trying to escape?" Chase sniggered. He vanished in a flash.All of them instantly fell into a pool of blood, but the painful screams did not stop.Troy was on the ground with his hand pressed to his bloody chest. He was in great pain. He was humiliated and enraged.Chase stepped on Troy's
Since Troy was a core member of the Night Pavilion, Chase could not kill him right away, which delayed him a bit. If Troy had not foolishly delivered himself to Chase, Chase would not have even bothered with him."I'll ask you once more—who sent you here?" Chase's icy gaze swept over the remaining four men, his tone cold and unforgiving.He was puzzled. Why had members of the Night Pavilion suddenly come to the city, and why were they targeting him specifically?"Don't think you can trick us into talking. Whether you kill us or let us go, just do as you please!" The men drew their blades in unison, bracing themselves for a desperate fight."So, you prefer to do it the hard way."Chase shook his head, appearing disappointed.In an instant, he flicked his fingers, sending sharp gusts of energy that pierced the foreheads of the four Night Pavilion members.At that moment, Chase was like the God of War—unstoppable and exuding an overwhelming presence.The outcome proved fruitful fo
"If I want to kill, a single palm strike is enough to end a life!" Chase gazed calmly at the unconscious Troy, his eyes devoid of emotion.The only reason he spared Troy was to use him to uncover the mastermind behind all of this. Chase's hunch was correct. The Night Pavilion was targeting him because he took a bounty from their reward board. It was worth millions, which was a significant amount even for the Night Pavilion."Troy, I know you're awake. Open your eyes and cooperate, or else!" Chase commanded coldly, gripping Troy's face to force his mouth open.Immediately, Chase's mind was filled with information about the Night Pavilion—their power structure, the location of their headquarters and bases… Everything was documented clearly."So, they're near North County City," Chase murmured while narrowing his eyes.This location of the Night Pavilion only had around 50 members, with the rest scattered in various locations to complete missions. They also deployed patrol squads a
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
