"You damned thing! How dare you act so brazenly in front of me. You're asking for it!"Hero was enraged. His physique was like a giant bear as it exploded with astonishing strength. He hit hard at Chase, causing sparks to fly.Chase did not budge at all. As for Hero, he stumbled several yards back."How is this possible? How can his physique be so solid?"Hero was shocked and in complete disbelief.Chase was a stage-nine martial arts saint! This was not a level an ordinary martial artist could attain.Hero pondered this. His physique should be strong enough to fight a peak martial arts saint."Who exactly are you? How did you possess such a powerful physique?" Hero questioned with clenched teeth."All you have is a mere mortal's physique."Chase shook his head and smiled tauntingly. "I remembered the Hawkinses aren't as weak as you.""You arrogant bastard!" Hero could no longer hold back his temper when he heard Chase's words. His body suddenly exploded with great power.The
"This bastard has to die!" Hero's mind quickly turned. He was more determined than before to kill Chase."Get back! Let me handle this!"Hero growled as he released yellow protective energy. His right fist punched out. It was powerful enough to collapse mountains, and destructive energy waved over the place."Huh? Peak martial arts saint?" Chase's eyes widened. "You do have something up your sleeve."Chase held the saber and sliced through the air. The blade sliced down with great stability and power. It felt like heaven and earth were coming down together at the enemy.Both men collided in the moment.Their weapons clashed, and a brilliant flash of protective energy rippled through the air. It was astonishing."It doesn't matter that you're a peak martial arts saint. You're just an ant in my eyes."Chase's words were extremely cold. While he was attacking with his palm, a scarlet pill appeared in it. He flicked his fingers, creating a burning flame as it shot out.There was a
"Hmph! You're powerful, but too bad your cultivation is too low compared to mine. Even though your blade technique is mysterious and unpredictable, it's still not good enough."Hero sneered. He knew where his strong suit was. As long as he could keep Chase busy and get the remaining Webers' guards to attack, they could kill Chase.Several of the guards came attacking. They pulled out their weapons and worked with Hero to attack Chase.The situation changed in an instant.Chase had the upper hand before, but he was now in immediate danger. He was surrounded in attack by seven or eight martial arts saints. It was a deadly situation."Stop resisting, Chase Collins! You aren't a match for me!" Hero laughed savagely. "Weren't you arrogant before? Why aren't you arrogant now?"Do you think you're able to look down on the Webers with minor abilities like these? You're just garbage to me! If you're determined to die, I won't hold back. I'll kill you sooner or later!" Hero roared with a c
A stage-nine martial arts saint actually had such powerful energy and blood. This was unheard of. Hero had never heard of a martial arts saint possessing such strong waves of energy and blood."Die! Mad Thunder Claw!"Hero roared furiously as he clenched his right hand into a fist. The energy from it whistled in the air as something surged madly in the air. It was like an eagle's claw came attacking viciously.However, Chase was not afraid. He stared straight at Hero with a burning look in his eye."What a strong aura!"The look in Chase's eyes brightened."You have interesting blood essence. It's mine!"Chase broke into a smile and shimmered. He ran straight toward Hero and gave him a hard kick on the shoulder.Hero howled in pain, the whipping kick sending him flying a few yards away."Mr. Hero!"Several of the Webers' guards were shocked and quickly went up to help Hero.Hero was covered in blood, and his body trembled violently. The look on his face was savage. He had us
"I don't care where garbage like you came from. If you dare try to do anything to me, I'll make sure you'll regret coming into this world."There was a chilling look in Chase's eyes, and his intent to murder got more intense."Please don't kill me!"Hero was filled with fear and quickly begged for this life.Chase did not listen to him, and his grip on Hero tightened.Hero bled from all orifices. His eyes popped out of their sockets, and his face was filled with pain and fear."I'm…" Before he could finish, Hero's head fell limp to the side and he died right away.Chase released him, and his corpse fell to the ground.Two other martial arts saint guards were shocked by Chase's savage and vicious tactics. They could only stare in fear.Chase shook his head.Martial artists killed each other in fights, especially when life and death were involved. A slight loss of concentration meant absolute death. Hero had made that mistake."Do you want to die too?" Chase's gaze turned towa
The old man did not expect Chase to ignore his advice.He grunted coldly. His sleeve began to expand, and strong true energy surged from it. It formed into an airwave as it shot out to crush Chase's punch."Huh?"Chase was taken aback."Haha! How dare a criminal like you be so arrogant? Ignorant garbage!"The old man in black taunted, "A good-for-nothing like you should open your eyes. I'm an elder of the Webers. I'm in charge of watching over the martial arts domain. You've caused great trouble today. I'll make sure to report this to our patriarch. He'll tear you apart and turn you to dust. You'll suffer even in death!""You talk too much!" Chase's eyes turned cold. He launched a palm attack without hesitation.The air quivered as raging true energy gathered in his palm. It was like a gigantic hammer that came down, and the old man groaned from the attack. Blood dripped from his mouth."You're a martial arts overlord too?!" The old man was shocked. "You're not a peak martial a
The old man in black took a deep breath and turned to run. He did not care if the others lived or died. He was a smart man. He knew that staying behind would only cause more deaths."Do you think you can escape?"Chase glanced coldly at him. He stepped forward, and there was a shimmer as he quickly caught up to the old man. He grabbed the old man by the shoulder."Argh! Let go of me! What do you want?!" the old man shouted in panic."Since you're an elder of the Webers, you should have information on them. Tell me, who sent you here to kill me?"Chase's tone was calm.The old man was taken aback, and his expression quickly turned savage. "Trying to get information out of me, you little bastard? No way!"His body suddenly expanded, and cracks appeared on his skin. He was about to self-destruct!Chase frowned. He released the old man as he quickly retreated.There was a loud explosion, and the old man's body was blown to smithereens. Blood splattered everywhere, and the air was
Chase slapped him, beating his mouth to a pulp."You talk too much!" Chase grunted coldly.He crouched and began to slap the old man in black left and right. The old man's face swelled up, and his nose kept bleeding.Chase was vicious with his moves as every slap tore the old man's face. His bones could be seen through the wounds, and he kept howling in pain."Argh… Please have mercy. Spare my life. If you spare my life, I'll be your servant from now on. I'll do everything you say without complaints…" the old man sobbed and begged for his life pitifully."Tell me the truth," Chase stopped and said coolly."Yes, yes… Ask me anything, master. I'll tell you everything!" The old man quickly banged his head on the ground. He was now servile and had lost all air of a martial arts overlord. He knew that if he did not tell the truth, the young man in front of him would not hesitate to kill him."What other powerhouses are with the Webers?" Chase's eyes narrowed."Umm… I… I don't really
"That's right! Kill him!"The remaining warriors gritted their teeth, their faces twisting with rage as they spread out and surrounded Chase.Although they were wary of Chase's strength, there was not a trace of fear in their expressions."I don't enjoy killing unnecessarily," Chase said calmly as his gaze swept across the group. "If you leave now, I promise not to harm any of you.""Stop wasting your breath!" the bearded man roared. Brandishing a long blade, he charged at Chase. "Kill him! Kill this beast!"In an instant, icy flashes of blade light sliced toward Chase.These attackers, all at the mid-stage of martial god, unleashed their sharpest attacks without hesitation. Each move was deadly and decisive, aiming to give Chase no chance to retaliate.However, Chase simply raised his palm and struck. With each punch, he unleashed an overwhelming force that shattered all the incoming blades of light.The last attacker was blasted into the air, coughing up a mouthful of blood b
'This place must have more monsters. I'll return later to collect them. If other warriors grab the spoils, it'll be a huge loss,' Chase thought to himself.He stood up, his gaze sweeping across the distant warriors. "Scram," he said coldly.At that moment, the sound of rushing wind echoed in the distance. Eight warriors dashed forward at incredible speed, landing near Chase in the blink of an eye.These eight individuals were all martial gods, and among them were two particularly powerful elders who had already reached the mid-stage of martial god.The two leading figures radiated the most imposing aura. One wore a purple crown while the other had a thick beard and piercing, sinister eyes."Where's Lysander? What happened to him?" the bearded man demanded."He's dead," Chase replied indifferently."What?! Who dares to kill him?!" The bearded man erupted in rage, his eyes burning with fury as he glared at Chase.The other warriors were equally shocked. Lysander, an early-stage m
Lysander's body trembled as he gathered all the martial god energy within him, channeling it into his legs. He unleashed a flurry of kicks, each imbued with the force of his energy.At that moment, Lysander appeared like a masterful fighter. His movements were sharp and relentless.Each kick was faster than the last, and every punch carried a force that could shatter mountains as it slammed into the wild tiger's abdomen.The tiger howled in pain as its massive body slid several feet to the side. Its stomach was dented and bleeding profusely.However, Lysander's situation deteriorated rapidly. His body was drenched in blood, and his injuries became critical.The tiger lunged again, its jaws clamping down on Lysander's shoulder with a sickening crunch. Bones shattered, and blood sprayed in all directions, soaking his clothes."Help me!" Lysander cried out desperately."Run! Just run!" shouted the remaining martial artists who had not gotten far.The scene resembled a nightmare, l
The next day, Chase continued his journey.Suddenly, the ground began to tremble violently. In Chase's line of sight, a massive tiger-leopard hybrid came barreling toward him, its enormous paws smashing trees into splinters as it charged forward.This beast was akin to a martial god-level wild tiger, with a hulking frame, fur as tough as iron, and an aura radiating intense negative energy.The wild tiger let out a deafening roar. Its soundwaves reverberated in all directions, shaking the earth and instilling sheer terror in anyone who heard it."Damn it! That beast is back again!" a young martial artist cursed through gritted teeth.His left arm hung limp, shattered, and his chest bore a gruesome gash. He had nearly died from the tiger's earlier attack."Run! If we don't run now, we're dead!"The remaining five or six young martial artists turned and fled in panic.This wild tiger's strength was overwhelmingly powerful. Even elite martial god-level warriors would avoid a direct
The giant ape's massive club swept through the air, creating a terrifying gust that caused the crowns of nearby ancient trees to tremble violently.Meanwhile, Chase executed the techniques of his secret codex with agile movements. His figure flashed like lightning as he dodged the attack with precision.He surged forward without hesitation and delivered a fierce punch directly to the ape's abdomen.This strike was even more powerful than before, twisting the ape's intestines into a mess and splattering blood across the ground.The giant ape howled in anguish, thrashing wildly in an attempt to shake off its pain.Out of the corner of his eye, Chase noticed a crimson serpent coiled nearby. It slithered sinuously, measuring around ten feet long, with a body that released a pungent stench.The snake's cold, piercing gaze was fixed on Chase. It emanated a chilling sense of oppression. Its forked tongue flicked out menacingly as it launched itself at him.Chase's expression hardened.
The massive ape spread its enormous wings that spanned 25 feet in width, creating a dark shadow that blocked out the sunlight like two great black clouds.The ape let out a deafening bellow, a primal roar that resonated with the ferocity of an ancient beast.In an instant, the surrounding area—nearly 300 feet in radius—was swept by fierce winds. Sand whirled through the air, grass was uprooted, and trees swayed violently as their branches rattled and leaves scattered.The air was heavy with a menacing energy."A monster!" Chase muttered, narrowing his eyes as he took a defensive stance.The aura emanating from this creature was suffocating, its strength comparable to that of a martial god at its peak."Perfect! Let this serve as a lesson to all those fools that I'm not someone to be trifled with!"Chase launched himself forward without hesitation, closing the distance with the towering beast.His fist collided with the air, creating a sharp sonic boom that reverberated through
A sharp blade appeared in Chase's hand.This was a spiritual artifact named Azure Edge, forged by a renowned swordsmith after considerable expense and effort.A flash of cold light swept across, instantly felling over a dozen ghostly creatures.They stood no chance against Chase's strikes. Their throats were slit, and their heads separated cleanly from their bodies.A crimson crystal dropped into Chase's palm.It appeared unremarkable at first glance, but it contained a thick, viscous vitality and was more potent than ordinary blood. A faint spiritual essence seemed to pulse within it, emanating an almost sentient energy."Is this a ghost crystal?" Chase's eyes lit up with excitement.He immediately sat down cross-legged, focusing on restoring his depleted vitality.Within his core, his Sea of True Energy roiled and churned. Vitality surged as waves of energy coursed through his bloodstream, refining his muscles and bones."This ghost crystal is incredible. It's allowing my bo
Chase's pupils contracted as he sensed the impending danger.He unleashed a barrage of punches in an instant, executing the most powerful technique from the Dominion Codex.The void trembled and cracked as Chase staggered back several steps. Despite the force of his strikes, his attack barely grazed the massive beast's claws, leaving only minor scratches.The beast howled furiously, its eyes filled with unrestrained violence.Chase fixed his gaze on it, and he asked in a wary tone, "Who… or what are you?"The creature's aura was pure savagery. Its heavy, steel-like scales were nearly impenetrable. Chase's full-strength attacks barely left a mark, let alone inflicted critical damage.The beast let out a deafening roar and leaped forward, spewing a foul, dark liquid at Chase.Where the liquid hit the ground, it immediately began to corrode, releasing an acrid stench. The substance seeped into the soil like acid, causing nearby plants to wither and die almost instantly.Chase reac
"Damn it! What kind of mysterious medicine is this? The pain is unbearable!"Moments later, Chase calmed down, and his expression was dazed as he muttered to himself, "That scene… Could it have been an illusion?"Chase refused to believe it was merely an illusion. After all, if it were, how could he have seen that towering, majestic mountain?That night, Chase stayed in the cave instead of leaving. He continued to study the Dominion Codex, determined to master the technique as quickly as possible and ascend to a higher realm.…Meanwhile, a man clad in armor stood suspended in the air in another location.The man's posture was upright, his features sharp and striking, with eyes as deep and vast as the cosmos. He exuded an overwhelming aura of sharpness and power."So, it was an illusion?"The man frowned slightly, sensing a faint aura belonging to the Ghost King bloodline emanating from Chase. This discovery puzzled him."Something feels off," he murmured. "This human's bloodl
