"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
The stick had been stained with blood. Chase had picked it up from the ground.At this moment, when Chase pulled the stick out of Jerome, Jerome fell limp to the ground. This martial arts saint was maimed.All of the other Starks were scared silly as they screamed. Did their martial arts saint get defeated just like that?Chase remained composed. He swept a glance at the rest of the Starks, and his gaze finally fell on an old woman dressed in black.The old woman was hunched over and looked haggard. There was no light in her eyes. She looked like a frail old woman, but Chase noticed that every time he looked at her, her dim eyes would suddenly brighten.Chase realized that she was hiding her cultivation.Ellen's weapon was not to be trifled with, and even Chase was wary of its threat. If he had defended himself with just his pure physique, he would have ended up getting hurt.However, the Starks seemed to have mistaken Chase for using pure strength to destroy the weapon. Chase
A deafening roar erupted as violent energy waves swept in all directions, resembling a catastrophic landslide and tsunami. Ellen's face lit up with a triumphant grin—she was convinced Chase was doomed.Yet Chase remained calm. His expression betrayed neither fear nor anxiety. With a swift motion, he reached out and snatched the wooden staff from its wielder before swinging it powerfully.A sharp metallic resonance echoed through the air. Chase moved with blinding speed, his footsteps as quick as a thunderbolt. He swung the staff in a wide arc.Bodies exploded one after another, blood splattering everywhere. Each victim's skull shattered, painting a horrific scene of carnage.The onlookers drew sharp breaths as their faces pale with terror."No… That's impossible!" Ellen screamed, her voice trembling with disbelief.Chase was like a butcher on a rampage. Alone and wielding just a wooden staff, he had brutally slaughtered three martial arts saints."No, you're a demon!" Jerome shr
In an instant, spiritual energy surged around Chase like a tide before converging at his fingertip. A brilliant golden light burst forth, sharp and dazzling like the edge of a blade."Finger Sword!" he intoned, his voice calm yet commanding.With a simple thrust of his finger, blood sprayed out as it pierced straight through the forehead of an elder. The man's eyes widened in disbelief before he collapsed lifelessly to the ground, not even able to scream.Meanwhile, the remaining two elders launched simultaneous attacks from above.Chase raised the wooden staff to block a spear strike, its impact reverberating through the air. At the same time, his left hand shifted into a palm strike that landed squarely on the chest of the second elder.A dull thud echoed as the elder's internal organs shattered into pulp. Blood oozed from his orifices, and his lifeless body crumpled to the ground.Throughout the skirmish, Chase remained rooted to his spot. With nothing more than a wooden staff
As Isaiah's words fell, he suddenly surged forward with his steps accelerating sharply. He threw a devastating punch, his fist glowing with runic markings that amplified its power severalfold. Clearly, Isaiah had employed some kind of secret technique to boost his strength."Hmm?" Chase frowned but remained calm. He raised his palm and met the blow with a steady strike.The moment their attacks collided, Isaiah stumbled back several steps, his face pale and drained of color."How is this possible?" Isaiah gasped in disbelief. "I activated a secret art! My strength now surpasses that of an ordinary martial arts saint. Why can't I defeat him?"It defied logic. Though Isaiah was young and had reached the martial arts saint level, his achievements were not entirely due to raw talent.The Stark family's unique cultivation techniques artificially elevated their martial arts practitioners, requiring all martial arts saints within the family to study their inherited methods. Without these
Isaiah stared at Chase with wide, terrified eyes. His entire body was trembling. He tried to plead for mercy, but as he opened his mouth, his tongue slipped out and fell to the ground.Ellen froze momentarily, then realized what had happened—Isaiah had gone mad from sheer fear."Y-You actually scared him insane?" she stammered, her voice shaking with disbelief.Isaiah, insane? Whether it was true or not, this incident would undoubtedly create an uproar. The Stark family, one of the most powerful martial arts families in Capital City, had been utterly humiliated. This was a severe blow to their reputation."Chase, you should leave now! The elders will return at any moment," Ellen shouted urgently, her voice tinged with panic.Chase simply shook his head. There was a faint, calm smile playing on his lips. He showed no intention of fleeing. The Stark family might be a towering entity in the eyes of others, but to him, they were insignificant.If he so wished, a mere flick of his fin
"Heh, you can try," Chase said with a faint smile, turning to step back into the room.As he crossed the threshold, a sudden crack resounded. Easton had smashed a wooden table with his hand, his expression turning icily cold."Young one, you shouldn't be so arrogant," Easton said with a chilling tone. "At such a young age, you refuse to repent, and you even dare to provoke the authority of the Secret Sect. You're courting death!"His piercing gaze seemed to freeze the air around him as the temperature plummeted. Easton extended his hand, and a gleaming dagger appeared in his grip. It emanated a sharp, chilling aura that locked onto Chase."Your strength isn't bad," Easton sneered. "But compared to the high-tier techniques of the Secret Sect, you're leagues behind!"With a flash of light, Easton darted forward, with the dagger aimed directly at Chase's heart. His confidence was unwavering—he was certain Chase could not evade this strike. The dagger moved so quickly that it reached
"No need for your reminder," Chase said indifferently, casting Easton a fleeting glance before turning to push open the door and leave the courtyard.Once Chase stepped out of the residence, Ellen seemed to snap back to reality. She shrieked, "Stop him! Don't let him get away!"Two Stark family guards bolted from the courtyard in pursuit. But in a flash, Chase's figure disappeared into the darkness, leaving no trace."Useless!" Easton bellowed angrily."Mr. Easton…" One of the guards hesitated. "That man is strange. His cultivation level is clearly below yours, but the power he displayed surpasses even yours. I suspect he's using some secret technique or specialized martial arts.""Hmph, it doesn't matter what he's practicing. Tonight, he won't escape the Stark family's grasp!" Easton sneered. "Spread the word—dispatch a squad to hunt him down! Killing the son of the Starks is an unforgivable crime, and we'll deliver justice!"Hearing this, Ellen let out a sigh of relief."Still
"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
