He now had all the makings of a middle-aged man in his 30s. Even someone who knew him well would not be able to tell his real age.Only a strong powerhouse with powerful deduction skills could see through him. Others would never be able to see Chase's true appearance."I just need to end the Welches now and take care of the Salvatores while I'm at it."Chase took a deep breath. There was murder in his eyes.Sword intent shot out from him.He swung his hand in the air, and the sword intent slashed through it. A man-made hill in front of Chase was cut in half, and its remnants filled the air."The Seven Swords of Sosa is really powerful. This martial arts technique contains so much power!"Chase was delighted. This was Lyana's second gift to him. It was the Sosa Clan's secret technique that was never meant to be passed down.There were seven stances in the Seven Swords of Sosa. Each contained the Power of Five Elements. Once the five elements became one, a Sword Soul could be cre
The martial arts core continued expanding at such a great speed that Chase's physique was finding it a little difficult to assimilate to the rapid change."This can't continue. I'll end up bursting!"The look on Chase's face changed."Forget about it. I'll risk it!"Chase clenched his teeth and channeled whatever remained of his true energy toward his martial arts core. The expanding core instantly decreased its expanding speed.A few thin cracks appeared on the martial arts core. It was about to break because it could not withstand such huge pressure."Oh no!" Chase was shocked.There was no time for him to think at such a crucial moment. He forced his martial arts core to continue expanding.His martial arts core broke and turned into flashes of bright lights that were seen everywhere.Meanwhile, Chase's martial arts core had turned back into the size of a fist. It was glowing with silver light."I've finally become a martial monarch!"Chase was excited.However, he frown
This was quite incredulous."Who are you? Why are you trespassing on my home?" Chase asked with a frown. However, both guards did not reply. Instead, they raised their hands simultaneously to swing their swords down at Chase. A sharp sword aura instantly shot out and tore through the air."Huh?"Chase focused. He reached out his right hand and flicked with his index finger. True energy struck the sword aura.The sword aura exploded and fell to the ground in pieces.Chase's expression changed. "That's really powerful true energy."Even though he had just achieved a breakthrough, Chase did manage to cultivate the very powerful Seven Swords of Sosa. It should be no surprise that he was able to break the guards' move."Hmph!" Chase sneered. If these people dared to give him trouble, he would not hold himself back.It happened in an instant. Chase stepped forward and appeared in front of them almost immediately. His feet hit the air with great gusto, causing whistling in the air.
Both men knelt before Chase to express their gratitude.However, Chase suddenly turned to them and raised his hand. Wind suddenly galed around them.There were muffled grunts, and a bloody mark appeared on the guards' necks. The next moment, their heads rolled to the ground. They were dead."What a joke. Did you really think I'd spare your lives? Hoda Welch! How dare you send people to take my life when I haven't even approached you?" Chase sneered.He was not a bloodthirsty man. After all, he had witnessed too many killings and slaughters.In all that he had experienced, most of those doing the killing abused their power when in big groups and bullied those who were weaker. They were despicable garbage who forced the weak into submission. They were not good enough to be his enemies."Do you think I'd let you get away scot-free to enjoy the luxurious life given by the Welches?" There was coldness in Chase's eyes. He stepped into the garden and said quietly to himself, "The Welc
However, just as he reached out, Chase suddenly lifted his finger and flicked toward the man's hand.The sound of bone cracking was heard. His arms fell limp to the side as his wrist became dislocated. This sight scared the man in the robe tremendously.Even though he did not attack with full strength, he did exert 70% of his powers. Even so, he could not defend himself against one flick from Chase."Who is that man?"The man in the robe felt a chill down his spine and chose to retreat without hesitation.Chase's arm formed into a whip as he hit the man viciously on the shoulder. The crisp sound of bone cracking filled the night sky. His right shoulder bone cracked and exploded. Flesh and blood splattered everywhere.The man screamed. He held his wound and tried to escape while holding back the pain. He ran ten yards in an instant."Huh?" Chase was slightly taken aback. He did not expect the man to be this decisive."It's no wonder he could become a death soldier of an influent
The long spear was forged out of bronze, and it glinted with a chilling light. The spear was covered with mysterious marks and seemed to be of ancient origin."The Slayer's Spear?"Chase glanced at the spear and sneered, "Do you think you can hurt me with your spear technique? Dream on!""How insolent!"Chase sniggered."Go back to where you came from!"He moved forward and grabbed the Slayer's Spear with an iron grip. Chase gripped it with great force.The assassin howled in pain and began struggling like a snake in pain."How is this possible?" There was a look of shock on the assassin's face as his eyes widened.Chase's palm was like steel. It was extremely strong and destroyed all hopes of escape. The assassin's spiritual weapon was stopped purely by Chase's strong physique."You… Damn it!" The assassin roared shrilly. "I'll take you down with me!"There was a hoarse roar. True energy filled the assassin, and he suddenly exploded like a volcano. Everything happened so fa
Chase stomped the ground right after announcing that.The foundation of the house immediately began trembling violently. Numerous stones and sand began falling.Chase stepped into the house with quick agility and appeared instantly in front of the assassin. He used his palm like a knife and hit the assassin right on the head. The assassin was sliced into two.There was a flash of sword light, and another person suffered a horrible death. It took only a short while for Chase to kill two other peak martial arts overlords.Every move Chase made was unpredictable, and all of them were extremely exquisite. Each of them possessed a unique rhythm that displayed a hidden special technique that caught his opponents by surprise.Chase was in a good mood.Even though his enemies were at the same cultivation level as he was and had their unique fighting styles, there were still minor gaps between them. This was also considering that his opponents were proficient in certain combat methods.T
These assassins appeared with furious and vicious looks on their faces. They were deeply cautious at the same time. It was because they could sense that Chase's cultivation was only at martial arts monarch.How did a mere martial arts monarch manage to discover them? This was an incredulous situation.However, the assassins quickly let it go. They made a direct attack as they lunged toward Chase for the kill. All of their eyes glinted with bloodshot glee in anticipation of the violence."Nothing but a bunch of ants."Chase smiled tauntingly and lifted his hand as a mark appeared in the air. He opened his hand and made a grabbing gesture at the group of assassins in black. There was a sudden violent tremor in the air.This was followed by several explosions, and the assassins in black flew off as they screamed. They coughed up blood, and their faces were pale. Their auras weakened considerably.The next second, Chase glared at them with a sharp look akin to a powerful divine sword
"I'll continue slaughtering!" Chase stood up once more.Meanwhile, the Flood Dragon had recovered. It roared and lunged toward Chase with terrifying power.This time, Chase's body quivered slightly, but he still managed to block the dragon's attack."Not bad. There's thick dragon energy in this Flood Dragon's flesh and blood. If I use it to refine pills, the effects would be incredible!"Chase was excited about this. It was the same delight he felt when discovering a spiritual herb. It was due to hunting a dragon and obtaining its energy.There was a deafening explosion.Chase rode on the dragon's neck while inside the valley. He had a sword in his left hand while his right hand was clenched into a fist. He was using all of the skills and techniques he had learned.Chase punched the dragon right in its eyes.The dragon was filled with pain as it threw its head in the air and howled in misery. Meanwhile, Chase swung a punch with his other hand and struck the dragon right in the
The Flood Dragon howled with pain. A piece of scale on its head was indented. It was almost crushed."Looks like the strength of a Flood Dragon's physique exceeds the limitations of an ordinary martial artist. Otherwise, I would've crushed half its head with one punch."Chase's eyes narrowed with a cold look in them. "But this Flood Dragon is too big. It's perfect for training! Die!" He roared and lunged at the dragon again.Man and creature collided. Chase continued forward to attack. His fists punched the dragon again and again.Every punch rang with a loud metallic clang. Chase punched harder and harder as he fought wilder and wilder."What sort of martial arts technique is that?"The dragon began to sense danger and turned to escape."Where do you think you're going?!"Chase grunted coldly and stepped on the ground as he leaped into the air like an agile monkey. He landed right on the dragon's back."Time for you to get down!"Chase growled as he grabbed hard on the drago
"We should team up to kill that little bastard no matter what price we have to pay!"The three remaining middle-aged men suddenly stood up. Murder was in the air."No. He isn't our target. Our target is the Flood Python. We shouldn't cross that man if he's still alive." The old man tried to stop them."Damn it!"Everyone was unhappy about this but they also knew that if Chase was still alive and they approached him, it would only incur his wrath. Things would get complicated if that happened."Forget about it. We should let that little bastard be. Once we get our hands on that Flood Python, we'll tear him apart," the young man in extravagant clothes said unhappily."He's right. We can't let that little bastard leave the lake alive.""I don't believe an ordinary man can survive that lake. He must have sunk deep inside and drowned.""We'll wait until tomorrow to get that python and take its crystal core!""Let's go!" Everyone left the cave after discussing this. They continued
"No wonder they're an ancient lost species. They have powerful bloodlines. My power is just enough to stab this snake, but I was able to destroy the defenses of this lizard with eagle claws."Chase frowned. The bloodline of these monsters was too powerful. If it were not for the help of mystical powers, he would have lost if he had relied only on his cultivation and physique."If that's the way this is, I'll use the opportunity to improve my sword technique…"The look in Chase's eyes turned cold. His mental energy condensed into a sword aura that instantly chopped off the head of the snake.As for the eagle-clawed lizard, it tried to struggle for its life. Even though its abdomen had a hole in it, it tried to fight back stubbornly and refused to die. It even tried to escape by running into the lake to hide.However, Chase did not let the lizard have its way.Chase took a breath to swallow true energy. The lake was instantly filled with true energy that surged and boiled wildly. I
Chase's eyes widened. He knew he was no match for this enemy.Even with his current stamina, he could only explode with a maximum strength equivalent to the weight of six thousand pounds. That middle-aged man could punch through a house with one move. If they got into close combat, Chase was bound to lose."How dare you barge into this forbidden land?"The middle-aged man spoke coldly. He glanced at the corpse and blood on the ground and immediately understood what had transpired. "I'd advise you to leave right away or you'll be sure to die."Chase laughed tauntingly."You're asking for it!" The middle-aged man was enraged. He suddenly made a move and lunged forward to kill Chase.However, a bright red sword slashed through the air as it aimed for the man's throat. The man frowned and reached out to grab the blade of the sword, causing sparks to fly everywhere.The man sensed a horrifying attack on him. His hand was torn and was almost dislocated."Your physique is extraordinar
"Oh no! I must've gotten poisoned!"Chase looked grim and quickly sat cross-legged on the ground as he began channeling his skills to stop the poison from spreading.Chase's clothes ruffled despite it being a windless day. He closed his eyes and focused his mind to meditate. He was attempting to communicate with the innate golden elixir.However, he was shocked to discover that everything he did helped nothing.He was like a statue as he maintained the pose for one hour. However, nothing happened during that time. Nothing unusual happened at all."What's going on?"Chase opened his eyes. He was bewildered as he mumbled, "True energy is the source of power for martial artists. Why am I unable to connect to it?"He looked away at a distance. The pretty man had vanished. Chase sighed."Looks like I can only give up cultivating for now."Chase could only rely on consuming normal food to maintain his life. He had to do this for quite a while. However, it was better than going hungr
"You're dead!"The pretty young man looked sullen. With an angry roar, his spear reverberated in the air. It kept buzzing as if gearing to tear a wound through the air and stab right into Chase's heart.However, Chase did not budge. He clenched his fist and punched out hard with a loud bang. The spear was immediately bent like a bow and began to break apart inch by inch. The spear had now turned to garbage."What?!" The man's eyes widened with shock.He never thought that his precious spear would be destroyed with one punch."Do you still think you're powerful?"Chase shook his head. "You're nothing in my eyes. I can kill you with one finger!"He swung another punch while speaking. He was so fast that his punch created a strong wind.A scream echoed in the air as the man flew off from the impact. There was a deep, bloody dent on his chest. Blood kept gushing out of it. He looked absolutely pitiful."This man… He's a monster!"The man clenched his teeth and stared hatefully at
Chase quickly raised his blade to block the attack.Both men's positions were swapped, and Chase was beaten back. His shirt was torn, and his muscled upper body was exposed."Are you stupid? Don't you know how to put on more clothes?!" The pretty young man attacked while shouting condescendingly.He came closer and closer to Chase. "Looks like this is all there is to you. Just surrender already."While he was speaking, the man twisted his wrist, and his black spear changed direction. It was now aimed at Chase's heart.There was a sharp whistle in the air when the spear stabbed forward. The air exploded from it.Such an attack would cause even a peak martial god to be instantly riddled with stabbing wounds.Chase grunted coldly before suddenly exploding with a roar. As true energy surged from his body, his muscles rippled and his physique expanded.Palm and fist collided to create a huge bang."Huh? How did your physique turn stronger?" The man was astonished. He was quite surp
However, there was no green poisonous gas coming from his body. The gas was unable to reach Chase because he was able to shield himself with the lightning-protective energy.This series of battles only happened within a short time.It took only about half an hour for Chase to kill everyone and for the group to escape in a fluster.The sinister mist vanished from the valley and the Thousand Soul Ghost Tree remained quiet once more.However, Chase's brows furrowed deeper. He had seen a figure appear at the border of the valley. It was standing there with crossed arms and admiring the view in a carefree manner."You… You're not dead."It was a young man.He had beautiful features and was smiling. He was as pretty as a woman. At one point, Chase thought he had entered another different world."Huh?"The beautiful man turned to look at Chase with an astonished look. "You came out of this alive! This is where the Thousand Soul Ghost Tree resides. If you didn't die, that means you ha
