Not far away at a restaurant, an old man in green was standing at the window of the second floor. He was staring down with interest at the fight happening below."That's not bad. He knows to borrow the power of vital energy to escalate his fighting potential. This young man is a genius at martial arts." The old man brushed his beard with his hand while watching Chase with a smile.Even though he was only an early-stage martial arts saint, he had a sharp eye and noticed Chase's uniqueness with one look. Bodies were strewn all over the ground not long after. Chase was covered in blood, looking like a mess.He wiped off the blood from his lips. There was a cold glint of murder in his eyes. "The Hawkinses? If you insist on making this mistake, don't blame me for massacring you."He flashed past and picked up a corpse on his shoulder before quickly leaving."Who is that young man? How is he so powerful?"The old man in green frowned thoughtfully in the restaurant. He sensed someth
Chase had killed five men continuously in a blink of an eye. The rest of the Hawkins family were frightened and turned to run."Trying to escape?"A sarcastic smile appeared on Chase's face.Two flashes flew out like lightning, stabbing through two of the men's throats. Blood splattered as they fell limp to the ground.It took only a few breaths for all of the martial artists in black to be killed. Only Spencer was left."You…"Spencer looked white as a sheet. There was shock and fear in his eyes. He was shocked by Chase's vicious tactics."You shouldn't kill me. The Hawkins family won't let you off!" Spencer's voice trembled as he roared. He roared hysterically like a wild beast in fear."Is that so? I'd like to see what the Hawkinses have up their sleeves!" The look in Chase's eyes was calm, but there was a chilling murderous intent.He took a step forward and raised his hand to slap Spencer. The crisp slap rang in the air. Spencer's mouth bled, and his teeth fell out from t
At the same time, a powerful aura swept over them. This aura was extremely strong and vast, and it had reached the level of a peak martial arts saint!Spencer's face twisted into a sinister smile. "My grandfather will be here soon. Do you dare to kill me?"After speaking, his expression became even more ferocious.He believed that as long as his grandfather intervened, he would surely suppress Chase and rescue him.Chase still did not respond, continuing to stride toward the main hall of Hawkins Residence.Seeing this, Spencer became even more smug. "Heh, you little brat, you're doomed. My grandfather definitely won't let you off easily."Suddenly, accompanied by the sound of footsteps, an elder in a gray robe strode out from the pavilion ahead. His cold eyes were fixed on Chase."Grandpa, save me!" Upon seeing who it was, Spencer seemed to grasp a lifeline. He started screaming excitedly."You've got some nerve, boy!"Sunny's eyes flashed with a cold light as he stared intent
Sunny furrowed his brows together. He sensed that something was amiss.Chase was so composed that one might even describe him as calm and unhurried."Heh, arrogant and overbearing?" Chase sneered, his gaze sweeping over the experts of the Hawkins family. "You Hawkinses are bullying an ordinary citizen. What do you have to say about that?""An ordinary citizen?"Upon hearing this, Sunny's expression turned grim.He finally realized his mistake. Chase was no ordinary person!How could a commoner dare to cause trouble at Hawkins Residence?Moreover, Chase's attire did not resemble that of a rural villager. He looked more like a scion from a prominent family."I'll ask you one more time. Will you hand over Spencer or not?" Chase's tone was icy, carrying an aggressive edge."We will not!" Sunny gritted his teeth as his eyes filled with rage."Very well. Then I'll fight until you guys hand him over." Chase's figure blurred as he charged toward Sunny."You're courting death!" Sensi
"You little brat, you dare cripple my grandson's navel region?""You Hawkinses are really trash! I'll destroy the Hawkins family today. Who here dares to stop me?" Chase declared as he stood proudly, his eyes were cold and sharp. As he stepped forward like a soaring dragon, he charged at Sunny once again.Just then, Sunny suddenly threw back his head and let out a furious roar. A vast and powerful aura surged from his body."Peak stage-nine martial arts saint!" Chase narrowed his eyes slightly. With a quick thought, he deduced Sunny's cultivation level."Hmph! So, you're a peak stage-nine martial arts saint. That explains your arrogance! But unfortunately for me, a peak stage-nine martial arts saint is still too weak!"Chase then let out a cold laugh. Stomping his foot in mid-air, his body suddenly vanished. When he reappeared, he was already behind Sunny.A crisp sound echoed as Chase's palm struck Sunny's face, sending him flying.Sunny's head tilted three inches to the side,
Chase curled his fingers into a claw and grabbed Sunny's neck, lifting him like a helpless chick. Then, he slapped him across the face. With a smack, another slap followed."You little brat, I'll make you pay today!"Sunny's eyes were bloodshot; he had never imagined he would end up like this. When he once dominated Capital City, who would have thought he would suffer such humiliation today?"Just you wait! One day, I'll take your head!" Sunny roared in fury. His eyes were filled with intense malice.Chase ignored his words, delivering slap after slap to his face. Soon, half of Sunny's face was swollen and bruised."What did you say? Say it again. I didn't catch that," Chase sneered."I said, I'll definitely get my revenge on you!" Sunny gritted his teeth. He hated Chase to the core. He would surely make him pay for this."Haha... Good, very good! I hope you can reach that level soon. Otherwise, I suppose you won't ever be able to avenge yourself."As he spoke, Chase suddenly e
"You little bastard, I'm telling you, I won't just cripple your navel region. I'll dig out your heart, extract the marrow from your body, and turn you into a bag of bones!" Chase's eyes were blood-red, like a fierce demon."I... was wrong. Please... spare... me..." Sunny pleaded weakly, feeling his life force rapidly slipping away.Chase was truly intent on killing now, and Sunny was utterly terrified.However, what awaited him was another kick from Chase. With a loud bang, Sunny was sent flying after several of his ribs were broken. His body collapsed limply on the ground."Haha, you're scared now? What a coward! Weren't you arrogant before? Come on, keep being arrogant! Keep boasting! I love seeing you like this—it's so satisfying!" Chase laughed wildly.He stepped on Sunny's chest with a mocking gleam in his eyes. "So, have you yielded now? If so, kneel down and admit your mistakes. Maybe I'll consider sparing you. How about that?"As he spoke, he bent over and looked down at
In an instant, the once-clear waters began to emit thick smoke.This toxic smoke was extremely potent; anyone who came into contact with it would become dizzy and fall into a deep sleep.Sunny lay on the ground, laughing hysterically toward the sky."You scoundrel!"Chase was furious and seething with rage. Sunny had resorted to releasing poison in a suicidal attack at this critical moment. It was utterly despicable.Although he was unharmed, it had given him quite a scare."Chase..." Nearby, another young Hawkins family member approached hesitantly."What? Are you trying to stop me?" Chase glanced at him."I wouldn't dare, Chase. Please calm down. We're just worried that if you push him too far, causing mutual destruction, it might attract the attention of the Hawkins family's higher-ups. At that point, I'm afraid..." The young man seemed somewhat fearful of Chase.They had come here to eradicate the Hawkins family completely. If they angered the Hawkinses and provoked a larg
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
