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

    However, this did not scare off the other martial artists. They continued lunging at him fearlessly in attack. All of them knew that if Chase escaped, the Webers would suffer a horrible loss.The sound of a strong impact rang in the air.Chase evaded the attacks with shocking speed and retaliated purely with physical strength. It was immensely powerful!Not long after the stand-off, the remaining martial artists died from the strong impact on their hearts and lay fallen with blood spurting out of their mouths.Bodies lay strewn all over the ground. The field was red with their blood.Chase stood among the corpses with a calm expression. He did not even bother to wipe off the sweat on his head."How dare they try to assassinate me with so few men?!" he shook his head as he said tauntingly. He strode away and returned to his room to rest."What? Dead?!" Inside the Weber residence, Mountain's expression changed after hearing the news."Dad, Chase Collins is a cunning man! We can't

    "We should retreat, Mr. Hero!"The Webers' guards quickly came over to protect Hero."Do you think you're able to stop me, you rascals?!" Hoss roared. Immense power shot out from his finger, which had a gold ring on it. It shot through the chests and abdomens of many men, who fell dead to the ground.Painful howls were heard echoing through the courtyard.This fight lasted for more than half an hour before ending.Hero had brought along five to six martial artists, and they were all killed. Only one martial artist in a black robe was left, but he was covered in wounds. He knelt on the ground while trembling."I-I surrender. I'm willing to be your slave!" The martial artist in black begged for mercy as he trembled."You can't even take down one fighter, you good-for-nothing! What's the point of you living?" Hero went up and kicked him.Chase watched the fight from his room. He could not help chuckling in his heart. "What a petty group of people."It was apparent how weak the We

    The gold saber in Lou's hand broke piece by piece. Lou went flying backward and crashed into a wall. He fell into the garden in a disheveled manner. Lou struggled to stand but failed. There was a dent in his chest, and a few of his rib bones were broken. He was covered in blood.Hero's expression changed as he quickly went up to help him. "Lou! How are you feeling? Can you be saved? What's wrong with you?" Hero's face turned pale. He quickly took out a pill and fed it to Lou. It was not long before Lou's wounds stopped bleeding, and his breathing stabled.He opened his eyes slowly. Focus gradually returned to his eyes. He growled, "Hmph! You're dead, Chase Collins!""Do you think these tricks can hurt me? But I must admit that I'm impressed with the Webers. You have a martial arts saint among you. It looks like it'll be a fight to the death with me." Chase shook his head. He was not surprised about this.He knew that there was someone powerful behind the Webers. Otherwise, they w

    "But…" Hero refused to give in. "He deserves to die. He should be torn apart!"Mountain frowned and roared coldly, "Shut up! I have my considerations. There's no need for you to say anything else."Hero sighed and bowed as he retreated out of the room.Once everyone was gone, Mountain raised his head to look outside the window. He gave an inaudible sigh and mumbled, "Collins… Chase Collins… The Collinses…"A blurred face appeared in his mind as he began to reminisce……In a remote courtyard of the Weber residence, the house was lit brightly.The dim, yellow light shone through the cracks and into the room. It shone at a man next to the table.He was a muscular man who had healthy copper-colored skin. He had armor on and a rifle slung over his shoulder. There was an intimidating air about him. He looked like a fierce warrior on the battlefield.The man was seated cross-legged next to the table with a book in his hand. He was reading it quietly.Just then, someone knocked on hi

    A ghostly figure suddenly appeared behind him, wielding a dagger in a vicious strike aimed at the young man's life.A sharp collision sounded abruptly. The young man in green extended two fingers, catching the attacking dagger. The sharp blade sliced into his palm, with bright red blood dripping down his hand."What?!" The assailant was greatly shocked, feeling his right arm tremble violently as if an immense force were crushing his wrist, causing intense pain.Accompanied by the sound of bones snapping, the dagger shattered into a heap of iron fragments. The young man's two fingers remained intact and motionless, like a work of art forged from steel."How is this possible?!" The man in black was utterly astonished. His eyes were wide as he stared at the young man in disbelief.Although he was a genuine stage-eight martial arts legend, he could not even withstand the opponent's single hand just now."Who on earth are you?" the man in black growled through gritted teeth. He swiftl

    Night fell, and the stars shimmered brilliantly.Chase returned to his residence. He knew that both the Hawkinses and the Webers were hunting for him, intent on killing him. However, he had already avenged the Collins family for their massacre at the hands of the Webers and the Hawkins.He now needed to intensify his cultivation.Hero possessed brute strength but lacked intellect, while Hoss was a sinister and cunning individual. Although they appeared to be in a cooperative relationship, they each had their own hidden agendas.After the Collins family was wiped out, the Hawkins family definitely did not let matters rest and would have dispatched experts to investigate secretly.Given Chase's special identity, he could not easily reveal his whereabouts.Therefore, he decided to continue keeping a low profile. Once Chase had cultivated enough, he would seek out Weber Group and Hoss to settle the score.The next day, spies from both the Hawkinses and the Webers received secret rep

    "How could it not be here?" Chase muttered, narrowing his eyes. He was certain the Hawkinses' treasured manuals should be stored in this library.Suddenly, his expression shifted as he sensed something unusual.A faint breeze seemed to manifest out of nowhere, followed by a soft green glow that gradually expanded, forming a hazy barrier.Chase focused his mental energy, triggering a subtle yet profound ripple from the depths of his consciousness."Break for me!"His spiritual force surged like thunder, tearing through the barrier in an instant."So, the library not only holds cultivation techniques but is also protected by a spiritual restriction formation! For an ordinary martial arts saint, even someone at the peak stage, breaking through this would be impossible!"With a cold snort, Chase strode confidently toward the center of the library.There, in the heart of the room, sat a skeleton cross-legged. Its surface glowed faintly with a greenish hue, and it radiated a powerful

    "Hmm? Someone's approaching," Chase muttered, his brows furrowing together.He sensed several figures drawing near, their presence becoming increasingly apparent."It seems some people aren't ready to give up. Fine. If they've come, they won't be leaving," Chase said, a glint of cold determination flashing in his eyes.Without warning, Chase leaped out of the window and slammed his foot into the ground.The courtyard erupted in a cloud of dust and debris."Chase, prepare to die!"Several figures in black emerged, their auras sharp and menacing. All of them were martial arts saints who were exuding lethal intent.Four blades streaked toward Chase, each gleaming with deadly precision."Child's play," Chase remarked with a sneer. With a casual wave of his hand, he deflected the incoming attacks.The sheer force of his strike was overwhelming, like the weight of a mountain crashing down.In an instant, two of the martial arts saints exploded into clouds of blood and gore, leaving

    "Fine! As long as you spare my life, I swear eternal loyalty to you. I'll serve as your slave or servant if that's what it takes!" Luis declared without hesitation. He knew too well that if he refused, death would be his only outcome.Luis was not afraid of dying—he simply could not accept defeat. A lifetime of prestige was ruined in an instant."I, Luis Hawkins, swear to the heavens that I'll submit to Chase Collins and never betray him. Should I break this oath, I vow to meet a terrible end!" Luis raised his hand and spoke in a firm, resolute tone.Chase scoffed, his expression tinged with disdain. He had no intention of believing Luis, and the mockery in his eyes was evident. "Luis, you think I don't see through your games? Do you think I'm unaware that you're merely stalling for time?""H-How do you know that?" Luis narrowed his eyes, a murderous glint flashing within them.Chase chuckled coldly. "Luis, I've dealt with countless schemers and liars. Your petty tricks? They don'

    "You can try," Chase said with a faint smile."You…" Luis was consumed with rage.Suddenly, a pitch-black spear shot out from the side. It was aimed directly at Chase.Chase's expression shifted. With a light tap of his toes on the ground, he leaped back several yards, creating distance between himself and the attacker."I see the Hawkinses really are cunning!" Chase's gaze turned icy. "But since you're so desperate to die, I'll gladly oblige."Sword energy erupted, sharp and unforgiving. A single flash pierced through the head of a guard."Y-You're breaking your word!" Luis roared, his face turning an ashen shade.He had planned to use the family members as leverage against Chase, but instead, Chase had struck preemptively."I won't lay a single finger on your family," Chase said coldly. "But as for the others... Don't blame me for what's about to happen."He stared at Luis, his expression devoid of emotion. "Do you really think I care about the Hawkinses' wealth? To me, your

    Luis was utterly stunned upon hearing Chase's words. He had never imagined Chase's appetite would be so insatiable. He wanted the entirety of the Hawkins family's assets!"Mr. Collins, pardon me for being frank, but if it's money you want, the Hawkinses are not lacking in that. I can offer you five times the amount you desire," Luis said, attempting to negotiate.Chase chuckled. "Mr. Luis, you've misunderstood. Money means nothing to me." He then added while shaking his head, "I'm after more than just your resources. What truly interests me is the Hawkinses' forging techniques. Surrender those, and I might spare your life.""The forging techniques?!" Luis's eyes widened with disbelief. "Impossible! Absolutely impossible! The Hawkinses' ancestral rules strictly forbid passing those techniques to outsiders. We can only offer you finished products!"The forging techniques were a legacy painstakingly developed by generations of the Hawkinses' forebears. They were the family's lifeblo

    "Young man—no, Mr. Collins—please, let's talk this through. There's no need for violence," Luis pleaded. His dignity as the head of the Hawkins family had all but vanished. The Hawkinses had been a cornerstone of Bactria, influencing its entire power structure. Now, however, Luis saw that everything could change with Chase. He needed to bring Chase to their side no matter what it took.After all, Chase's talent was extraordinary, and his potential for growth was limitless. If the Hawkinses could recruit him, they would gain a formidable martial arts saint. They could elevate their standing to unprecedented heights.Luis said, his face stretching into a fawning smile, "Mr. Collins, on behalf of the Hawkinses, I'm willing to compensate you with any resources you need. I can even offer you an entire mine to aid your refining pursuits.""You think I need your resources?" Chase scoffed, his tone dripping with mockery. "And from the Hawkinses? I doubt you can provide anything worthwhile

    "What… What's happening? Why are these swords flying on their own? Such powerful sword energy! Are these... black iron swords?!"Everyone was stunned, their eyes wide with shock. The event unfolded so abruptly that none of the Hawkinses' guards could react in time.In an instant, countless black iron swords tore through the air, forming a dense cloud that surged toward the guards like a tidal wave."This is bad!" Luis roared in fury. "Block them!"A massive surge of energy exploded from him, forming a white fist aura that smashed into the incoming sword energy."Hmph! A mere insect of a martial arts saint dares to intercept my black iron swords? You people are courting death!" Chase sneered.With a wave of his right hand, the swarm of black iron swords merged into a single massive blade that slashed down toward Luis.A terrifying sword light split the air. Luis hastily countered with a punch, but it was not enough to escape unscathed. A gruesome gash tore across his chest, blood

    "Reckless fools," Chase muttered coldly.He raised his hand and struck out, unleashing a golden palm strike that swept through the air like a tidal wave, enveloping a radius of dozens of feet. Everything in its path was utterly destroyed.The golden imprint descended, shattering every weapon it touched. Bones snapped, flesh tore, and blood splattered in all directions. The power of a single strike crushed everything in its wake."Run for your lives!""No…""Help me!"Agonized screams echoed through the air as bodies fell lifelessly to the ground.Luis' face turned ashen at the sight. He involuntarily stepped back while trembling. "You… Who are you?!"Chase did not bother to respond. Without sparing Luis another glance, he strode toward the Hawkinses' grand estate.It was a sprawling complex of magnificent architecture that exuded opulence and grandeur.Inside, the family members were already alerted to the attack. They had gathered in the main hall, and they whispered nervous

    Despite his exhaustion, Zion pressed on as he was convinced that Chase would eventually falter."Seventh Form!" he roared, unleashing a blade strike that seemed to split the heavens and earth.Yet even as the towering blade descended, Chase remained unmoved. With hands clasped behind his back, he stood still and made no effort to dodge or block the attack.An arm fell to the ground, blood splattering everywhere.Zion's eyes widened in utter disbelief as he stared at the scene. His most powerful strike had severed an arm, but it was not Chase's."T-This can't be… H-How is this possible?" he stammered. Zion looked lost, unable to accept the reality before him."It doesn't make sense! How could you withstand my blade? This defies logic!" he muttered, his voice tinged with confusion and despair."You're just too weak," Chase replied calmly while casting a cold glance at Zion.Flicking his finger, Chase sent a pill into his mouth. The pill dissolved instantly, replenishing his deple
