Hero was taken aback and went out after Chase.He later realized that Chase was nowhere in the hotel."Damn it!" Hero cursed out in anger. "That bastard made a run for it.""Calm down, Hero," Hoss advised. "I'm guessing that Collins must have been afraid of us seeking revenge and ran off. It's not surprising. Maybe this is a good thing. We don't need to waste time sending men after him."Hoss was calm and did not look angry at all. "Not only that, we have the opportunity to go public with what he did."He took out his cell while speaking. "I've booked a flight ticket for tomorrow at 8:30 am. I'll return right now."With that, Hoss turned to leave."Hey, hey, don't go. Let me play host and bring you around for some fun!" Hero quickly stopped him. "Don't worry, I'll make sure you have the best treatment. You won't be sorry."Hoss hesitated before nodding. "Alright. I'll take you up on your offer. I hope you'll be able to keep your promise.""Of course!"Night came, and they qui
They were the Hawkinses' trump card. Besides that, Hero had also recently achieved a breakthrough to semi-saint.He stood where he was and watched as the dozens of bodyguards lunged at Chase and did not join the fight. Hero trusted in the abilities of these dozens of bodyguards. They were enough to take care of Chase.However, Hero's eyes widened the next second. His eyes nearly popped out of his sockets.The bodyguards flew off backward the moment they touched Chase. They fell unconscious to the ground in one move!It only took Chase one move!Hero was stunned. How was that possible? Was Chase really so powerful?He did not display any ancient martial arts technique and did this with pure strength. His physical prowess was powerful enough to handle ordinary martial arts legends! What was even more unbelievable about this was that the bodyguards had guns on them.It was hard to tell what Hero was thinking by looking at his face. It was not delight nor sorrow."Your bodyguards d
Anyone who was able to pick up this skill could burst out with power several times stronger than normal people. It was powerful enough to break bones.Hero was stunned. Hoss lost to Chase because of this move.That was when he felt a chill down his spine. Hero turned back to look with difficulty. He saw Chase standing not far away, and his heart was filled with fear."W-What do you want?"Hero's body stiffened, and his face turned pale.What did he just see?A thin, golden thread was coiled around Chase's right hand.Chase's hand quivered slightly, and the golden thread suddenly straightened. It shot as quickly as lightning right into Hero's shoulder. Everything happened too fast.Hero's eyes widened as he tried his best to evade the attack. However, it was too late.Hero's shoulder was cut with a wound that was about three inches long by the golden thread."Argh—"The intense pain crawled throughout his body, causing Hero to howl. The veins on his temple throbbed. Hoss took
"I'll keep you in here while waiting for the Webers to come get you. Trust me, they'll be willing to pay any price!"Chase left after that.Hero was left lying on the ground in a daze. He watched as Chase left, and he showed no signs of stopping him."What exactly is going on?"It was quite a while before Hero managed to move again. He rubbed his head and looked in a daze. All of a sudden, a vicious look appeared deep inside his eyes."I want revenge! I want to kill you! I want you dead!" Hero roared in a frenzy. He could only lie on the ground as he was too seriously injured. He was unable to stand.After a while, Hero seemed to remember something, and a sinister glint flashed in his eyes. "Just you wait, Chase Collins! I'll kill you with my own hands one day!"…Chase had no idea that Hero was making plans to murder him because he was in a pretty bad situation.When he used the mystical technique, it activated a hidden bloodline within him. Even though he had temporarily pos
"That might not be necessary. The Webers' Supreme Elder is a martial arts overlord. It doesn't matter how arrogant that brat is, he wouldn't dare go up against a martial arts overlord," someone spoke up."That's enough!" A roar rang throughout the hall suddenly. Everyone turned in the direction of the voice. Everyone looked stunned and fearful.Right on the main seat in the house was the new Weber patriarch, Mountain Weber. He looked serious and composed. He swept a glance across the hall. "If you've said enough, it's time to hear me speak."The Webers are one of the top families in Capital City. We've been standing tall for a hundred years in this country! Since my grandfather's day to our current generation, we've survived for five generations. The Webers are one of Capital City's influential families. "I admit that brat is quite capable. He took down the Webers' guards, and even Hero was defeated in his hands. But don't forget that he wasn't born and bred in Capital City. We ha
However, Mountain looked astonished when he stepped into the house. Despite the house being bare, there was a huge statue meant for worship inside. A few orchids were placed below the statue."That's a temple offering!" Mountain's eyes widened. He was familiar because he was religious and was familiar with the rituals. "Could this be the old address of the Brennans' old patriarch, Arvin Brennan?"Mountain's eyes narrowed, and his heart beat a little faster.Even though he was not exactly familiar with the place, he had a gut feeling about it.He knew he was in the right place.The Webers and the Brennans were both influential families of Capital City and had an aggressive rivalry. The Webers had always hoped to outdo the Brennans.If they had the opportunity to do so, Mountain would earn a more prestigious reputation."It's no wonder that the Brennans are the top family of Capital City. Even if they aren't as renowned, they're still able to build such an extensive empire!" Mount
"Damn you! Kill him!" The leader of the muscled man was covered in sweat as he shouted hysterically.When the rest of the muscled men heard him, they lunged forward."Get lost." Chase flicked a few drops of vital energy at them.Each of the muscled men was blown backward. They fell unconscious to the ground and bled from their noses and mouths.The remaining muscled man was left alone and stood where he was. There were holes in his legs, and his pants were wet with blood. Blood was still running down his legs, and his veins were almost bursting from the intense pain.He did not expect all it took was a look from Chase to stop all the men he had brought along. He nearly died as well."Y-You're a peak martial arts legend? That can't be right. How can a martial arts legend be so powerful?" the muscled man stammered."How dare a martial arts lord like here come here to your death?" Chase gave him a condescending glance before turning to return to the house to continue cultivating.
"Alright, I'll give it some consideration." Chase nodded and turned to walk into the house."See you around, Mr. Collins!" A vicious look appeared on Mountain's face the moment Chase disappeared. "Hmph! I've never thought about letting you off. You'll have to accept that money whether you want it or not!"Hero watched this unfold at the side and clenched his fists."Dad, why don't we just take Chase down since we have so many men with us?" Hero asked Mountain."Take him down and snatch his mystical guides? Hah! Let me tell you something. Chase Collins' mystical guides aren't as simple as you think. He may look unguarded, but the more composed he is, the more powerful he could be. We can't be rash with this!"Mountain continued grimly, "But don't you worry. I've come up with a plan. If we succeed, we'll be able to obtain greater wealth and power!"Hero nodded. He had worked by Mountain's side for years and knew his father very well. If his plan worked out, it would be the end of
The blade contained powerful sword intent, and it sliced open a horrible wound on the Black Iron Demon Crocodile's belly. Blood gushed out from it.The crocodile roared furiously as it struggled. However, it could not escape as the blade had cut its veins, which immobilized it.Chase exhaled. He went forward and kicked the crocodile's head.A series of crisp cracks were heard before the crocodile ended up in a pool of blood. It was a horrifying sight.It was a martial nirvana beast, and even though it had been seriously hurt, it could still move. Chase did not dare waste any time. He took out some rope he had prepared earlier and wrung it around the crocodile's neck. He dragged it out of the underground palace."This Black Iron Demon Crocodile's body is massive. It must've consumed the blood essence of many human martial artists. I wonder what other surprises it has for me."Chase chuckled as he prepared to leave.However, that was when Chase paused in his footsteps and suddenly
The sinister and moist aura became stronger. Chase could even detect the rotting stench of dead bodies in the aura."Could there be more than one dead body buried in this place?" Chase contemplated this, but it did not bother him too much as victory was the only thing crucial to him.He leaped into the dark. Chase would come to some crossroads along the way, but he chose to keep going straight. The path led him underground.He had stepped into the tunnel for less than 15 minutes when he caught the sound of fighting. It did not come from outside but from below.He was puzzled and quietly snuck over.There was a loud bang, which was followed by the clanging of weapons.A massive dark shadow was on all fours in the middle of the underground palace covered in rubble. It had four limbs and a huge head. It had terrifying teeth and sharp claws while its back was covered with dark scales.It was crouching, and its red eyes looked vicious and violent. It could lunge forward and eat some
"Damn it!"Chase was enraged. He growled while madly absorbing the pure vitality and heaven and earth's spiritual energy from all around him.He sat down with great pain. He put his hands together to guide the vitality to condense it into lightning form.Purple lightning struck suddenly, tearing through the air and wrapping around the golden light.Chase's forehead was covered in sweat, and his entire body stiffened."This thing is tough to deal with. Why is it so hard to absorb it?" Chase clenched his teeth. The golden light contained incredibly powerful energy."I don't believe that you can take this."There was a cold look in Chase's eye. Thick veins throbbed all over him while limitless energy poured from within his body and into his hands. The energy gathered in his arms.The Might of Thunder and Lightning was an extremely powerful attack technique that was unbeatable.Chase was relieved to see the lightning and light vanish. Even though this was a powerful move, it exhau
"It's a voodoo bug!"The look on Chase's face changed. He instantly realized what it was and quickly waved his arms to release a raging wave of strength that caused numerous trees around him to fall.A swarm of green bugs, with each the size of a thumb, emerged in hordes. They were like swarms of locusts that filled up every space in the air.Massive sword flashes instantly sliced through them, and the bugs were crushed to dust. However, Chase had disturbed other ferocious beasts laying low in the forest with this move.In an instant, piercing howls were heard.Various beasts and birds came lunging at him.Chase's expression turned dark. He formed into a shadow fragment as he dodged the attack of these animals.He did not choose to escape because he could sense many wild dark beasts in this area.Chase had to get used to being in battle mode.That was the only way he was able to get into the rhythm of fighting the enemy while slowly training himself to uncover a combat techniq
The Sword Manual was extremely difficult to understand. Chase had spent close to two days on it before he could grasp the surface-level information it contained.He figured that it would take at least one month for him to be able to completely cultivate the first stance. As for the second and third stances, as well as the most powerful killing move, he did not dare to have much hope for now."I wonder if there are valuable medicinal herbs in this mountain range," Chase wondered.A sword flash brushed past suddenly, cutting off a huge chunk of a rock.Chase's eyes widened. He stopped and looked toward somewhere not far off.A dark, green venomous snake that was more than 20 feet long was slithering about, emanating a dangerous aura as it stared at Chase."A venomous dragon python?" A grim look appeared in Chase's eyes.The venomous dragon python was a rare snake-type ferocious beast. It was covered in lethal venom, and even a stage-four martial god would die instantly if he cam
However, Chase was not about to let him get away. He went after Thorn while wielding his sword.The sword's blade sliced Thorn's skin, causing blood to splatter everywhere. He was once again seriously wounded, and the slash on his chest looked horrible.That was a vicious swing of the blade. It had destroyed Thorn's core, and his basic martial arts skills were gone."No! This isn't possible…!" Thorn was chilled to the core. He fell to the ground and was close to death. His eyes were wide with disbelief. He had never expected to lose to a human martial god.This was a great humiliation!"The Black Feather Guards will tear you apart and turn you to dust!" Thorn cursed at Chase with clenched teeth."Exotic races like you are pretty dumb." Chase shook his head. "If I'm killed, your people will die with me. There are many factors to consider in this world. You need to be aware of the consequences."Chase spoke unfeelingly. The next moment, he lifted his leg and kicked Thorn in the th
"Scared? Haha!"Thorn threw back his head and laughed with a condescending look in his eye. "Human martial artists are nothing but ants. You only managed to obtain resources and heritage from what was left behind by your ancestors. It's because of mere inheritances that you think you're superior and know no fear. I'll teach you a lesson today about how weak humans are!"Chase grunted coldly, and the Thunder Sword appeared in his hand. Stepping forward, he lunged for the kill and swung his sword down.Weapons clashed, and sparks flew.Thorn's expression changed as he stumbled back a step. His arm was numb."The sword technique of a human is indeed exquisite. But such an unruly technique can only be used on low-level dark beasts. It won't be able to do anything to me." Thorn put his hands together, and a dark battle spear formed. The spear kept flashing with light like a venomous snake flicking its tongue.He moved quickly and lunged at Chase for the kill.The look in Chase's eye
"You shouldn't have left the sect like that, Chloe. What if the elders punish you?""This is all because of me, Kara. If I didn't leave, you would've gotten into trouble too…""Don't be silly. You're my junior. I can't stand by and watch you die."The women's words caught Chase's attention."Huh? It's them…"He raised an eyebrow, not expecting them to be hiding deep inside the valley.However, Chase quickly realized something, and a glint flashed in his eyes. He quietly said to himself, "They're martial artists too! Even though they're only early-stage martial gods, they possess the Energy of Drago Tiger. They must have taken some spiritual herbs and refined them."These were no ordinary women. They had a powerful background, so it was not unusual for them to possess some treasures. After all, a martial god had a long lifespan. Common herbs that were easily found would not be able to fulfill their needs."I don't care how unhappy you are, reveal yourself right now," Chase said
The lion's massive body flew off into the air.Chase lunged forward. His left hand was curved into a claw as he grabbed the lion's head. He pulled hard with his hand despite having a sword in his right.Blood splattered everywhere.Using sheer strength, he separated the lion's head from its body and flung it to the side.This caught the attention of many dark beasts that were martial gods."Huh? This human martial god looks really powerful. If we can get such a young elite to be our servant, we can make use of him for quite a while."Chase's slaughtering had crossed the line of most of these dark beasts.Powerful demon energy immediately burst from every corner of the valley. It gathered within the valley and formed into a dark chain of demon energy that came falling on Chase like a net to kill him.Chase swung the Purple Lightning Blade. The blade's flash exploded to every corner and destroyed the demon energy.There was a sharp look in Chase's eyes as he noticed something st
