"Just leave this to me." Glenn waved Hadley off after that.Hadley felt relieved and said, "I'll leave this to you, Dad. I'll return to the party now."…It was a peaceful night.Chase left the hotel and drove back to the suburbs."Master." Black Panther lowered its head and asked, "Who's Hadley Stark? How dare he attack you?"Chase ignored it. He did not come to Capital City only to look for spiritual herbs. He had another reason. Chase needed a Breakthrough Pill.The Starks had one, and Chase decided to make a trip there."Where are we going, Master?" Black Panther continued asking.Chase kicked it and replied with indifference, "Get me information on the Coopers.""Huh?" Black Panther was puzzled. "Information on the Coopers?"Chase nodded. "I trust your capabilities.""Umm… Yes, Master!" Black Panther quickly nodded.It was not stupid. It knew how powerful Chase was. If it angered Chase, it might be turned into minced meat!Not long after, two sedans drove to a house
Chase was astonished. "What's going on? Is this because of the Element-Gathering Herb?"Black Panther said in a low voice, "The Element-Gathering Herb has caused a strange occurrence that affected the flow of elements in heaven and earth. This has resulted in the vitality in the sky and earth to become chaotic to the point of this strange occurrence happening." "Are things really that serious?" Chase was shocked."Yes."Black Panther nodded grimly. "I remember reading past records of it. It's taboo for cultivating martial artists to be emotional. If their mental state gets damaged, they'll be unable to achieve a breakthrough if the backlash isn't serious. Serious cases would see the person explode in death." The look on Chase's face changed when he heard this.A damaged mental state would result in one being unable to achieve a breakthrough if the backlash was not serious. Serious cases would see the person explode in death?Chase suddenly realized something.The Starks had lur
Hadley glared viciously at Chase and roared savagely, "You'll be dead when my father arrives!"Not long after Hadley declared this, a look of delight appeared on Hadley's face because he had already seen a Lincoln limousine slowly driving in.The car door opened.Glenn got out of the car and was followed by other core members of the Starks."Dad! Help me!" Hadley quickly shouted.Glenn frowned and looked over. His eyes widened at the sight in front of him.Outside the Starks' mansion was a young man of about 17 or 18. He was standing with one hand behind his back and had a cold look in his eye. He looked like he was waiting for Glenn."Is that the sole survivor of the Collinses?"There was a glint in Glenn's eyes. He observed Chase carefully as his heart beat with fear. It was hard to determine how powerful his cultivation was! "What did you do?!" Glenn looked at the pitiful state his son was in, and his expression darkened."Dad, I want that little bastard killed!"Hadley'
"How insolent!""You're just a country bumpkin! How dare you make trouble at the Starks? You must be tired of living!"Dozens of figures suddenly appeared. They had a strong aura and looked like wolves going for the kill. They were not afraid of death.However, all of them fell and howled from pain the moment they got within a hundred yards of Chase. They coughed up blood and got seriously injured.It only took one palm attack from Chase to take down all his enemies."Huh…"Glenn took a sharp breath. He was terrified.He could tell from this slight release of aura that this young man was a semi-saint!Semi-saints were a rare existence. They were considered royalty in Capital City.Martial artists of such level had specialized missions within the Martial Arts Alliance and enjoyed generous income and benefits. A semi-saint rarely bothered about the common world, much less got involved with gaining profit.However, the young man in front of him was not only ready to murder, bu
"It's too late!"Chase's expression was cold, and he was not about to spare Glenn. He waved his finger through the air and flung it down hard as a gale of wind whistled down along with it."No! Help me!"The Starks ended up in chaos. They were in fear and tried running away with all their might. They were not brave enough to stop Chase.Chase's attack came down heavily like a comet crashing toward the Earth. The destruction was immense, instantly suppressing everything.Glenn's eyes widened as he turned as pale as a sheet. He tried everything in his power to evade the destruction but was too slow.With that, blood splattered everywhere.Chase pointed at him and poked a hole through Glenn's body.Glenn was in shock as he howled painfully. The patriarch of the Starks, one of the wealthiest businessmen of his generation who had swept the world's feet and conquered all, had ended up beaten badly in the garden of his own mansion."Dad!""Grandpa!"A few Starks broke down crying.
"Spare your lives?"Chase glanced at them with disdain. He then said with a cold grunt, "You want me to spare you? Have you thought about how you treated me just moments before?""I…"The Starks were rendered speechless.He was right. They had treated Chase like a slave and insulted him. That was not all, they even threatened to break his leg and feed him to the dogs!"You're nothing but an ignorant group of people." Chase shook his head. He was not bothered to say much to them.He stepped forward. Every step he took created cracks in the ground under his feet. His footprints dug deep into everyone's hearts which were already brimming with fear.He leaped into the air and moved as quickly as lightning. He leaped thousands of feet into the air and landed on a rooftop.Chase punched down hard, and the building collapsed. There was dust everywhere. The dust settled down very soon.Everyone turned to look and saw most of the high-ranking Starks had passed out. As for the pretty ma
"You're dead!"Jerome was furious. He strode forward and aimed for the kill.He dealt a punch forward, and energy surged. It was like a clash of lightning as a thunderous roar reverberated in the air. It almost felt like the energy could tear anything apart.This was the power of a martial arts saint that suppressed all opponents.However, Chase remained composed and even had a look of disdain on his face. "I have nothing to prove."Chase clenched his hand into a fist, and power surged from it. He suddenly transformed into a mighty demon that was thousands of feet tall. His palm then hit the ground.It was a huge palm.His palm covered the sky and shadowed every corner. The entire mansion was under it.Jerome coughed blood and flew backward. He crashed hard into the garden's wall and destroyed several walls upon impact."This is impossible!"The Starks stared wide-eyed. They could hardly believe it! He was supposed to be a martial arts saint!Such a powerful person could rel
"Impossible! This is impossible!"Ellen Stark screamed.It had never occurred to her that she would one day meet a man more powerful than Jerome was and that man was right in front of her!Chase grabbed Jerome by the neck and crushed it."A martial arts saint is weak!"Chase kicked Jerome into the air like a ball, sending him crashing into a stone tablet. Jerome kept coughing up blood.Chase was not in a hurry to kill Jerome. It was because he knew very well that there was still use for Jerome. It was not the right time to kill him."Who exactly are you?!"The expression of the Starks changed. Chase was more powerful than they imagined. Jerome was a martial saint but he could barely fight Chase."You ask too many questions." Chase shook his head and strode forward. Every step he took caused a wave in the air that made others anxious."Get out!" someone suddenly said. There was a sinister look in Ellen's eyes. She shouted daintily and pointed her pretty finger into the air. Tw
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
