Inside a deep forest in the suburbs of South River City, the thick scent of blood filled the air. The ground was covered with more than 20 dead bodies.It was apparent that a big fight had just happened here.Sam, who was in a general’s uniform, looked at the bodies on the ground and asked in a deep voice, “How many times has this happened?”“This is the seventh time, Mr. Collins,” a right-hand man of his said as he wiped the blood off his face and lowered his head at Sam.“The seventh time?!”“They’re all here for the Chief!”Sam mumbled in frustration. “Why did the Chief reveal his identity as the Medical Saint of Hell’s Gate? These people have been flooding into South River City crazily.“Even though the Chief doesn’t care about ants like you, I can’t tolerate any threat toward him!”Sam’s eyes narrowed, and there was coldness in his voice.His phone suddenly rang. After he was done with the call, a look appeared in his eyes. He snapped his fingers and said, “Prepare the
“That’s… just as well,” the ‘Medical Saint of Hell’s Gate’ said with a nod as he put up an unwilling look and relented.Tom was overjoyed and quickly prepared to make their escape.There was no way Chase would allow them to leave. He stopped them. “We haven’t even settled the issue of determining our true identities. What’s the rush in leaving?”“You…” The ‘Medical Saint of Hell’s Gate’ trembled, but no one knew if it was out of anger or fear.“Let’s wait a little longer. Sam Collins is about to arrive soon,” Chase said with a smile.The faces of both the ‘Medical Saint of Hell’s Gate’ and Tom turned pale. Unfortunately for them, Chase refused to let them go, and they were not able to leave.Quinn could not take it any longer. She could not bear to see them that way. “Let them go, Chase. There's no need to make things difficult for an elderly man.”“I can’t let him go when he’s pretending to be me,” Chase said as he shook his head.Quinn frowned and said, “Do you really want to
Sam then pointed at the fake Medical Saint of Hell’s Gate and said, “This is the real Medical Saint of Hell’s Gate!”After he said that, the two 'medical saints' stopped in their tracks, their faces stunned.Did they hear him right?Sam acted as if he did not see their expressions and walked forward. Then, he walked to the 'Medical Saint of Hell’s Gate', grabbed his hand, and cried excitedly, “Doctor, thank you for curing me five years ago!“Why didn’t you tell me that you’re in South River City? I would've loved to host you."The 'Medical Saint of Hell’s Gate' was utterly confused as he looked at Sam’s excited face.However, he regained his senses and said calmly, “You don’t have to thank me. I never ask for anything in return after I save someone.”“Your righteousness touches me, doctor!” Sam was getting more and more emotional.“Doctor, this is the key to one of the villas under my name. Its name is Serpent Bay, and it costs more than 30 million. You can move in any time you
“Bianca, get someone to protect Dr. Collins in secret. If anyone dares to seek revenge against him, kill them with no mercy.”“Alright, Grandpa.”Bianca nodded and went to make arrangements.At this moment, Sam was kneeling on one knee in front of Chase at South River Clubhouse. He was too heartbroken for tears. “Sir, please let me explain. The only reason I called that fake the Medical Saint of Hell's Gate was all for your sake.”“Go on. If I'm not happy with what you have to say, you'll know the consequences.” Chase fiddled with a clay teapot in his hand and stared at Sam with murderous intentions.Sam was worried that Chase would throw the teapot at him in anger, so he quickly explained, “Sir, ever since you exposed your identity at the Coopers’ appreciation banquet, seven groups of people came to South River City to take action against you in just half a day.“Among them are mercenaries sent by an enemy country who want to kidnap you to treat their president, international as
Chase was utterly stunned as he looked at the hatred on their faces.Did they start hating him just because he refused to treat their father?What was this mindset?“What are you looking at, kid? Tell us!” Bane put his dagger on Chase’s neck.“Alright, don’t be impulsive.”Chase pretended to look scared and blurted, “I’ll tell you. He’s at Serpent Bay Villa 8!”The thugs were overjoyed.Bane was still skeptical, so he asked, “You're not lying to us, are you?”Chase said sincerely, “How would I dare lie to you? You can ask around if you don’t believe me!”One of the men said, “Bro, let’s just bring him along. If he’s lying, we can just kill him on the spot.”“Yeah, let’s do that.”Bane patted his head and pushed Chase into a van that they had stolen before driving to Serpent Bay Villa 8.On the way over, Chase found out that these four were the Jackman Four. They had been hiding overseas this entire time and only recently came back to the country.Their father was a bandit
“I can give you 30% at most. Or else, we can part ways.”“It’s too little! You gotta give me 40% at least!”As Tom and Andrew were fighting over the profits, they heard hurried footsteps outside.“Stop fighting. Put on your wig. They’re here to send us money again.” Tom had a look of joy on his face.Andrew quickly put on his wig and pretended to be a person of foresight.In the next second, the Jackman Four rushed in and yelled at the two, “Which one of you is the Medical Saint of Hell’s Gate?”“I am.” Andrew put his hands behind his back and nodded calmly.“I'm his student,” Tom replied.Then, the two looked at the Jackman Four and frowned.They came empty-handed.When the two were about to say something, each of the Jackman Four took out a shiny chopper from behind their back.“Kill them!”Bane yelled as he waved his chopper at the two.Andrew's and Tom’s faces fell.At that moment, they realized these four people were not here to send them gifts. Instead, they were he
Charles nodded.He was at the end of his life, so he wanted to make some arrangements before he died.“Alright, I’ll call him now.” Quinn quickly went out to call Chase.At this moment, Chase just got back from Serpent Bay. When he saw Quinn calling him, he hesitated for a while before answering.“Chase, where are you? Come to my house. My grandpa wants to see you,” Quinn said into the phone.“Alright.”Chase nodded and headed to Norris Villa after hanging up.When he saw Charles again, he saw the intense aura of death on top of his head.Charles was about to die.Seeing this, Chase shook his head.Quinn walked to the side of Charles’ bed and whispered, “Grandpa, Chase is here. What do you want to tell him?”Charles seemed a little more energetic now. He waved his hand to dismiss Quinn as he had something to tell Chase.After Quinn left, Chase said, “Mr. Charles, I promised to save you three years ago, but I failed. It’s my fault. Just tell me if you have any last words. I'
“No way! That brat is a bastard child the old man brought back. How can she take over the family?”“Yeah, ask her to give the token back!”Everyone was pissed and immediately started arguing.Charles’ three sons—Reginald, Roger, and Rowan—looked at each other and then decided inwardly to snatch the pendant back before fighting for the position of the head.Reginald took a step forward and put his hand in front of Quinn. “Quinn, give us the pendant. You’re not the right fit to be the head of the family.”“Uncle Reggie, Grandpa gave me this before he died. He’s the one who asked me to be the head,” Quinn said, her expression changing slightly.She was not after the position, but she could not go against Grandpa’s wishes.Reginald smirked coldly and said, “You’re still young, and you’re not a Norris. How can you be the head of the family?”“Quinn, Reginald is right. You should have over the pendant,” Roger chimed in.“Yeah, Quinn. We’re family, so please don’t make this hard,” Ro
"Castiel can only rely on his own luck now. Ivana, we should leave," Turk, the white-robed man, sighed."I suppose there's no other choice," Ivana replied, casting one last glance in the direction Chase had flown. There was a hint of reluctance in her expression.In the end, she activated her movement technique and soared away.Turk had been paying close attention to Ivana. When he noticed the lingering look in her eyes as she gazed after Chase, his expression darkened, though his thoughts remained unreadable.Once Ivana had taken flight, Turk flicked his fingers, sending a small black sphere rolling into the cave before he turned and departed.Not long after, Chase reappeared."Interesting," he mused, watching the direction Ivana and Turk had gone. A smirk played on his lips.With his heightened spiritual awareness, his perception far surpassed others of his level. The two stage-three martial god weaklings were nothing to him.After confirming that they had truly left, he step
Four black tentacles shot out from the cave, heading straight for the four of them.The boorish man, still reeling from his earlier clash with Chase, had no time to react before the tentacles wrapped around him. He let out a series of agonized screams as he was dragged into the depths of the cave.The white-robed man and the woman in purple stood farther away and managed to dodge the attack, their figures flashing as they leaped to safety.Chase, however, remained in place, completely entangled by the tentacles.The white-robed man halted, initially showing concern for the boorish man being captured. But upon seeing Chase ensnared as well, his expression shifted to delight. He assumed the beast would eliminate this troublesome opponent for him.Yet despite the tentacles stretching taut, Chase remained utterly unmoved. It was as if he had taken root in the ground.Feeling the strength of the tentacles, he realized they were far more powerful than those that had restrained the boor
What?!Chase felt incredulous.He dodged the attack and retreated about three feet away."What is this?!" Chase asked."Did you release monsters into this cave?" the woman in purple yelled angrily with her sword raised in the air."Monsters?" Chase glanced at the cave entrance in bewilderment. He saw a long, black tentacle appear from the cave as it reached out for the woman."Look out!" The two men behind the woman shouted as they defended her at the same time.Sword stances filled the air as the man in white helped the woman stop the tentacle. The boorish man picked up his blade and leaped into the air. He slashed down the back of the tentacle.Black-colored blood splattered onto a rock. Hissing sounds were heard coming from the plants as holes appeared in them due to the corrosion. There was lethal venom in the monster's blood.Chase was shocked to see this. The wailing he heard must have come from the monster. It looked quite powerful. He felt lucky about not entering the
Chase opened his eyes. His clothes had been wet but were now dry.He channeled his skills, and strength circulated him. He got rid of all impurities and felt invigorated.After that, he stopped using his skills and punched into the air using pure physical strength. He could vaguely hear the sound of a sonic boom.The effects of the Mirage Dragon Tiger Pill on body refinement were not bad at all. He estimated that he could achieve an upper level if he could take another three to five more pills.It seemed like a visit to the Nefarious Deity Sect was now inevitable.Chase turned to leave.Right after leaving, dark smoke began to billow from the middle-aged man's corpse, forming into a man. "Damn it. I can't believe I can only escape using Nefarious Deity Form. But I've managed to obtain your mind and soul's aura. The next time we meet, I'll make sure you'll suffer a fate worse than death. I won't let you die so easily."The man, who was in Nefarious Deity Form, began to glow green
The man was only at stage three, where each punch possessed a weight of 30,000 pounds.Besides that, as the Nefarious Deity Sect's signature fist technique, it possessed the Nefarious Deity Energy. It could invade the opponent's spirit and soul upon contact.It was also the perfect complement to the Nine Mirage Ecstasy.However, Chase seemed completely unaffected. He seemed to have managed to defend himself against that punch.The middle-aged man knew that he had lost all opportunity at survival when he failed to hurt Chase with the punch. He quickly maneuvered to defensive mode. Black smoke billowed from his body and formed into a protective armor around him."Nothing but a party trick!"Chase checked himself for any injuries caused by the man.Thirty thousand pounds worth of strength was nothing but a drizzle to him.As for the Nefarious Deity Energy and harm that came with it, Chase was now able to withstand the evil power after using the Thunderfruit Core to strengthen his
The middle-aged man was scared speechless after witnessing Chase brutally kill the muscled man. He kneeled right away to beg for his life."Please let me off! I still have Mirage Dragon Tiger Pill that's perfect for martial nirvanas to refine their physiques. It's what you need right now."Mirage Dragon Tiger Pill?Chase frowned. He was aware that normal monsters and medical herbs did not have much effect on martial nirvanas who were also body refining cultivators.He knew that a Steel Dragon Tiger Pill was a unique profound-grade pill that was refined with an exclusive method that combined the Steel Technique with ingredients such as a dragon or tiger monster's inner core, dragon and tiger bones, and other rare supplements. It was refined using a special flame and required 49 days to complete. It could enhance one's physique tremendously.However, what was a Mirage Dragon Tiger Pill?"What's the difference between your Mirage Dragon Tiger Pill and the Steel Dragon Tiger Pill?" C
There might only be a difference of one word between martial gods and martial nirvanas, but both were totally different concepts."Cut the crap! I'll show you the holy technique of the Nefarious Deity Sect!"The muscled man suddenly put his hands together, and a ghostly wail was heard echoing in the air. A savage spirit appeared. It was holding a rusty, iron sword in its hand. It was filled with a murderous rage as it lunged at Chase."Possession Technique?" Chase's eyes narrowed. He was not a stranger to such unorthodox techniques. He had even fought numerous people using such techniques."Die!" the man roared as he controlled the spirit. A black sword flash tore through the air as a chilling glint came slashing at Chase."That's nothing." Chase shook his head and flung out a silver needle.The silver needle shot through the air and went between the eyes of the spirit. Blood splattered instantly as the spirit's massive body evaporated. It formed into a wisp of green smoke and va
Chase had not gone far when he heard a furious roar. A dark figure lunged right at him for the kill.It was a ferocious black wolf that had fur as dark as ink and extremely sharp teeth."How dare a mere stage-four martial nirvana monster ambush me?" Chase grunted coldly and moved his arm. A bronze saber appeared in the air, and a slash was heard. Just like that, the wolf was sliced into two.The wolf was left with half a body. Its soul appeared from the other side of its body, and it vanished instantly."Huh? It still managed to escape?!" Chase frowned. The look on his face suddenly changed as he ran toward the valley.A loud explosion was suddenly heard. It was as deafening as an avalanche.He saw a mushroom-shaped cloud of smoke appear in the air as stone and dust flew about. Numerous trees collapsed while bushes were flattened."Haha! I've finally caught you, you rat!" A sinister laugh was heard. A muscled man in armor walked out as he stared at Chase coldly. He had a huge bu
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
