"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
"You're asking for it!" Toby sneered.The two exchanged a fierce punch.A visible shockwave spread from where their fists met, sending all the onlooking young family members flying backward. Some even spat blood. This was a battle between martial arts saints!Chase narrowed his eyes slightly. His strength was slightly inferior to the opponent's, but the opponent was clearly not skilled in fist techniques, so this exchange ended in a draw."You've broken through?" Chase's expression darkened.He had not expected that the Hawkinses had been hiding such an old monster!At their peak, the Hawkins family had barely reached the threshold of first-rate powers; their foundation was shallow and unstable. Yet now, it seemed the situation was completely different.Toby's cultivation had reached stage five of martial arts saint, making him one of the top experts even in all of Capital City."As expected of the Hawkinses! That old dog, Toby, is actually this formidable!""Heh, Chase, I adv
In the blink of an eye, the two figures left Hawkins Residence, with one chasing and one fleeing. They appeared on the streets outside. Toby suddenly accelerated, leaping dozens of feet to intercept Chase and block his path."Toby, you cowardly turtle. You finally dare to show yourself?" Chase roared, his eyes blazing with anger.This bastard had been hiding within Hawkins Residence, barely clinging to life. If it were not for his body refinement technique, he would have died long ago!Such humiliation was absolutely intolerable for Toby!"Chase, I admit your talent is high, but you're currently only at stage three of martial arts legend. You're no match for me!" Toby sneered as a mocking smile appeared on his lips. "If you kneel and beg for mercy, I might leave your corpse intact and let you die swiftly.""In your dreams!" Chase let out a cold laugh and threw a punch. His fist force surged like a raging storm, stirring up sand and dust everywhere."You reckless fool!" Toby said
Chase had indeed been hiding his true strength!Of course, besides the core members of the Collins family, almost no one knew this—even Chase himself was unaware."I'll kill you today, Toby Hawkins, and no one can save you!" Chase declared. His eyes were icy cold as he articulated each word deliberately.Upon hearing this, Toby's heart trembled violently. He suddenly realized that Chase's intent to kill was more terrifying than ever before. He truly intended to kill him!Toby turned and fled; he did not want to stay and wait for death. Chase dared to kill even stage-four martial arts saint. What was he, a mere stage-three martial arts saint, compared to that?However, Chase would not give him a chance to escape.Chase employed his movement technique, moving at incredible speed. His figure flickered unpredictably, and he closed the distance with each flash—all while unleashing palm strikes one after another."Chase, you dare kill me?" Toby roared hysterically.Chase executed the
Toby was utterly terrified. He was panicking and repeatedly begging for mercy."It's too late," Chase said indifferently before swinging his fist."Don't kill me!!" Toby screamed in sheer terror.However, it was all too late.Toby was decapitated. His head shattered, and scarlet blood splattered everywhere.Even in his last moments, Toby had questioned, "How dare you kill me? Are you insane? Do you really want to start a war with us Hawkinses?" Chase frowned slightly, murmuring to himself, "I'm not insane."He looked into the distance, his gaze deep and profound. He thought to himself, 'Though the Collins family hasn't treated me well, they're still my family and my roots. I won't allow others to tarnish or defile them!'Toby Hawkins violated my bottom line; he deserved to die! But I need to use his identity to cover my tracks a bit.'With that thought, Chase took out a black ghost mask from his storage ring and put it on. This was a special treasure that could alter one's ap
"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
