Chapter 1339

Author: Shrimp in Trouble Waters
"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

    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

    "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

    "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'

    "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

    "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

    Outside the library, the guards were startled by the sudden commotion."Intruder alert!"Within moments, hurried footsteps echoed as guards approached the library in a frenzy.Chase casually tossed the long spear into the air and lightly pushed off the ground with the tip of his foot. His figure darted forward like a phantom.…Meanwhile, from the opposite direction of the library, two figures were rapidly closing in."The library is under attack!""I can feel a surge of energy that's far beyond the capability of a martial arts saint. Could it be a martial arts overlord?"These two stage-five martial arts saints were skilled fighters stationed by a branch of the Hawkins family to guard the area.As they rushed to investigate, a deafening explosion filled the air.The roof of the library collapsed, releasing a violent energy wave that swept outward, making their robes billow wildly."This is bad!"The two guards were furious. They rushed into the library, only to see a crims

    Chase emptied everything in there and prepared to leave. However, he suddenly sensed strong murderous intent from afar.There was a loud gush of the wind.He turned to look and saw a group of martial artists dressed in black coming at him in an attack. A young man was leading the group. The man stared sinisterly at Chase and asked coldly, "Were you the one who ambushed the Hawkinses' library?" He was tall and slender and had a good-looking face. He looked like a gentleman, but his eyes were cold and cruel."Are you Spencer Hawkins?" Chase narrowed his eyes and recognized the young man. "What do you want?""Cut the crap! You stole valuable books from the library. I have to detain you in the prison located in the Hawkinses' ancestral land. You'll suffer a fate worse than death!" Spencer said sinisterly.The prison was used to lock up members of the Hawkins family who committed crimes. Most of those locked up in that prison were guilty members or extended members of the Hawkins fam

    "You killed my brother, Chase Collins, and you took everything my father left to me. We need to deal with this sooner or later!" Spencer attacked while roaring.There was a sharp look in his eye as he clenched his teeth while saying, "If you want to kill me, I'll make sure you die with me!" Spencer shouted.Chase immediately sensed the energy within Spencer began to surge. Spencer was covered with lightning-like marks, which emanated powerful waves."Oh no!" Chase instantly guessed that Spencer must have taken some sort of pill that temporarily heightened his protective energy.A notion moved in Chase's mind. A soft, milky light glowed on his storage ring and eventually enveloped Chase. The next moment, a vast power descended to shield him, and it instantly shot out. Everything happened fast.Chase had reacted quickly, but Spencer was even faster.He could not continue to stay where he was in such circumstances. Chase decided to escape right away."Trying to run?" Spencer sneere

    "Is that so?"Chase glanced at the commander coolly. He raised his arm, and the Water-Breaking Sword in his hand flared with blinding flames. "Heaven Burning Finger!"Burning flames spread everywhere as if trying to burn everything in its path."What move is this? It looks more powerful than before." The commander realized something was wrong as he quickly put up his defenses. However, this move was too fast for the commander to evade, and there was a loud crack.A sword swung down sideways onto his shoulder. Blood splattered in the air as the commander's right arm was chopped off and hot blood flowed to the ground. The bushes around him began to shake violently, seemingly disturbed by something."Damn it!"The commander retreated in pain. He was furious as he said to himself, "That little bastard's swing clearly has power that surpasses a martial god. No wonder he's acting so brazenly. This can't do. I have to report this to the superiors immediately and get them to send some po

    "How is this possible?! I'm defeated!"The Iron Armor Squadron commander was in disbelief. His body stiffened as he stood where he was. He was covered in blood as his life drained quickly.He lowered his head to look at the deep sword wound on his chest. He mumbled, "Who exactly are you? Your sword technique is nothing ordinary…"While the commander was in a daze, a dagger suddenly shot out and stabbed viciously into his neck.The commander screamed in pain. He held his hands against his throat as blood splattered. He looked up with difficulty. His eyes were filled with hate and regret.Before he could say anything, life went out of him, and he fell crashing to the ground."Is he finally dead?"Chase stood breathless where he was as sweat dripped down his forehead. Chase was covered with wounds, especially his left arm. There were sword wounds all over it that had almost ended up with the left side of his body being sliced off.These were all caused by the commander's attack du

    The Iron Armor Squadron commander grunted coldly as well. His arms were numb, and his face was pale. He kept retreating backward."How is this possible? I'm actually defeated!"The commander's eyes dimmed. He looked at Chase thoughtfully and suddenly noticed something. His face turned even grimmer than before.He realized that Chase's aura was much weaker than before. It must have been exhausted extensively. After suffering a punch from the commander, the protective energy within Chase was completely gone."Damn it! He tricked me!"The commander's face fell as he said furiously, "You cunning bastard. You were pretending to be weak so that I'd make a wrong judgment. You wanted to use the opportunity to your advantage. I won't allow that!"He put his hands together for an incantation. True energy was channeled from his body and into the halberd, making it glow in a dark light as threads of dark runes appeared.The commander held up the halberd and rushed forward like a demonic kin

    This man was a peak stage-eight martial god. He could achieve a breakthrough to become a stage-nine martial god at any time."It's the commander of the Iron Armor Squadron. What is he doing here?"The Iron Armor Squadron was just like their name.The guards were always in heavy iron armor and had incredible defense techniques. Ordinary martial artists would not be able to touch them. However, what was one of them doing there?"How dare you snatch the Iron Armor Squadron's treasure, you little bastard? Die!" The commander was furious and shot out at Chase like a cannonball. Energy waves filled the air."You're pretty lucky today."Chase's eyes narrowed as he saw a steel dagger behind the commander's back.The dagger flew toward Chase in a flash, as quick as lightning.Chase was prepared. He reached out his hand to grab the dagger and used a sword technique with it.Their weapons collided, and the screech of metal was heard.Chase could feel his hand go numb with pain and quick

    The giant ape roared furiously. It was huge and could not move very fast. It could only watch as Chase flew toward the Flaming Ganoderma. Chase reached out to grab it, and that was when the Flaming Ganoderma suddenly shot out a burning light.A thread of flame coiled around the Flaming Ganoderma, tugging on the herb and plucking it out from the ground. The flaming thread coiled tighter around the herb to tie around it and pulled it up by the roots."What?!" Chase's eyes widened with disbelief. He had no idea what just happened.Meanwhile, the giant ape came near, and its gigantic punch hit the ground with massive strength.The ground and mountains shook. As dust blew up into the valley air, huge rocks flew into the air from the impact. These flying rocks in the air hit the Flaming Ganoderma, causing sparks from the collision.Meanwhile, Chase was fully focused on controlling the flaming thread on the Flaming Ganoderma while dodging the giant ape's attack. He was trying to move a

    Dark-colored blood dripped down his mouth, and he was hurt badly."Get lost!" the short, young man roared. Bright, golden light shot out from his body. He put his hands together in incantation and pushed out a golden palm print. This golden palm print collided with the giant ape's big axe, blocking the ape's mad attack."Huh?" Chase was slightly surprised as he carefully observed the fight. "That short man's martial arts technique is pretty unique. Is that a type of mystical technique he's using?"The giant ape, which was hundreds of feet tall, roared into the air. It howled like a wild beast, and its arm muscles swelled as if they could explode at any time. As it stepped forward, the entire mountain seemed to quake.It raised its giant axe once more to sweep it viciously at the young man."Oh no!" Chase became anxious.The man was about to be completely exhausted. He could not sustain such an attack.The axe fell, instantly cracking open a ditch that was more than ten feet long

    "Someone actually dares to rob us of the things in our storage rings! That person deserves to be torn apart!""Damn it! We can't let this go. There was a grade-seven spiritual pill in there!"All three of them were furious. They swore revenge against the culprit who had robbed them. They wanted that person to suffer a fate worse than death.Chase perked up at the news.A grade-seven spiritual pill was extremely valuable to a Pill Refining Master. It was enough to exchange it for rare and valuable ingredients."Could they be Pill Refining Masters?" Chase frowned and began thinking about this. "Hmm… They might be Pill Refining Masters pretending to be martial artist disciples. It'd be easy for them to disguise themselves as one." Chase's eyes narrowed, and there was a glint in them.If they were Pill Refining Masters, he did not mind silencing them by killing all of them.After all, a Pill Refining Master was a sensitive existence to him. They could not be offended. Any wrong move

    The man turned pale, fear and an unwillingness to die evident in his eyes.A short moment later, the black-robed man sat limp on the ground. He was emanating heat. His skin had become dry, and he looked like a dried-up corpse."My cultivation didn't improve." Chase frowned.He had absorbed a portion of the man's primordial spirit energy, but his cultivation level remained the same."Could his primordial spirit possess just a minor fraction of cultivation?" Chase wondered.However, Chase soon let this go. After all, this was an ancient and unorthodox technique that was used only to absorb evil energy for cultivation. This was not suitable for normal cultivation but for other types of cultivation."Forget about it. I don't want to overthink this. I'll just focus on recuperating." Chase shook his head and closed his eyes. He began to cultivate the vitality he got and use it to refine his physique.It was a quiet night.…The next day, Chase woke up from cultivating.He huffed, a

    "What?!" The black-robed man was shocked. He turned only to see the eerie face of a ghost.The face had a similar color to the purple lightning, and even the waves of aura coming from it were similar."This… This isn't possible!" The man was filled with fear. He could feel his hair stand on its end.He retreated quickly with a burst, but it was too late. Chase's right punch came crashing down on his head like a comet.His skull was crushed, and blood splattered everywhere. The man screamed in pain as he flew off into the air and crashed into a wall nearby. The wall collapsed from the impact.Chase walked over to him. He was covered in blood, and his eyes were bloodshot. He looked like a vicious demon that was emanating with thick intent to murder. He went straight toward the black-robed man who was on the ground."Have mercy… Please… Don't kill me…"The man's voice was quivering. He could see that Chase's eyes had no trace of humanity in them. They were filled with a cruel thirs
