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
The assassin got even madder at Chase's words. He kept spitting blood while dancing about with his short blade and dark dagger. He rushed toward Chase, launching an attack. He made three attacks at Chase, but they were all blocked.With every move he made at Chase, the assassin could feel his palm hurt as if it had just been hit by iron. It was intensely painful, and he was shocked by the experience. "Who exactly is this man? He's no less powerful than I am. His agility and strength are also more powerful than mine! I need to get away from here no matter what."The assassin was determined as he made his next move. He flew forward in the direction of escape.Chase narrowed his eyes and leaped as he went after the assassin. This man had to die for what he did, regardless of whether it was because he had been spying on Chase in the dark and looking for a chance to ambush Chase or his attempts at assassinating Chase."There's no escape!" Chase roared and channeled his true energy.
"It's you!"Chase's eyes narrowed. This time, the attack did not come from a random assassin.Martial artists came running out from all corners of the streets. All of them were in armor and held battle spears in their hands. They stood in line as they surrounded Chase in the middle."You didn't expect this, did you?"The man in black with a spear in his hand smiled sinisterly. "These are elite warriors from the Night Pavilion. All of them have been trained to kill with the spear. They're much more powerful than I am. You'll die here today."Get him!""Nothing but weaklings. Kneel before me and die!"Chase roared. Ripples appeared in the air, and Chase's aura burst with extra power. He had ascended to peak martial arts overload."What?!""How could you hide your true powers?!"The expressions of the Night Pavilion assassins changed."Kill him!"Everyone made the move almost instantly. All of them lunged forward to attack Chase courageously. Spears, bows and arrows, and numerou
"Hmph! How dare you barge into the Salvatores' mansion?! You're asking for it!"A roar was heard almost immediately as a sharp sword flash came swinging down. Chase turned to look and saw several young men and women gathered at the mansion's entrance. Standing among those young men and women was a muscular young man in green. He had a sword in his hand and looked proud and arrogant."Get lost!" Chase roared coldly."Who do you think you are?! How dare you insult us?!" The man in green, who seemed to be their leader, shouted angrily.He suddenly stepped forward with his sword and swung it. It was apparent he had been trained in sword fighting as several sword shadows formed into a net to fall on Chase. It blocked all Chase's routes for escape.The sword flash flashed everywhere. It looked like it was about to cut everyone around into pieces.Meanwhile, the remaining assassins conducted their attack as they hit Chase with every skill they had."These are garbage moves. I can't b
"Y-You're the sole survivor of the Collins family?!"This sudden shout was filled with viciousness, hatred, and despise.Chase's eyes narrowed when he heard this. "You know me?""Of course, I do! How can I now know you?!" The man in green's eyes turned bloodshot as he clenched his teeth. There was a thick stench of blood on him. A huge wound was on his chest as the attack nearly stabbed into his chest."I'm Falcon Salvatore!" Falcon glared viciously at Chase. "You must be the one who killed the Salvatore Saint!"There was a muffled explosion in the sky.Falcon looked up. Dark clouds were gathering as lightning and thunder struck. Each purple lightning that struck down was thick and vicious. They were like wild beasts clawing at the earth. Thunder and lightning came down on them next.Chase's eyes narrowed. He could sense the environment changing. He seemed to have been pulled into a strange formation.Chase waved them off and said coolly, "The few of you should leave first. Rem
"Those are the Martial Arts Alliance's guards!""The Martial Arts Alliance's guards are here!" "Gosh! Even the Martial Arts Alliance's guards are here. Are they really here to destroy the Salvatores?"The martial artists nearby stopped walking and looked up at the sky."They must've gotten into big trouble!"A man in a black robe looked pale as he shivered."It's over for the Salvatores!""Falcon Salvatore might not be the greatest of talents, but the Salvatores put a lot of emphasis on him. Now that they're being obliterated, their anger will be directed at the sole survivor of the Collins family. After all, Falcon is an elite of the younger generation. Dying at the hands of a Collins will only earn the wrath of the Salvatores."Every passerby began discussing this.Chase frowned at the sight and sighed quietly. If only he knew that the Salvatores were acquainted with the Martial Arts Alliance. He would have allowed Falcon to live instead of killing him.The air tremored.
A golden ripple spread through the air from where both men were exchanging attacks. Anything touched by the ripple was turned to dust.While they were fighting, Chase could sense an overwhelming strength coming toward him ferociously.It was just energy, but it was strong enough to flip him away from where he was."That's really powerful. Is this the power of a martial monarch?"Chase was shocked.A martial monarch was more powerful than a martial arts overlord.Even a stage-nine martial arts overlord could not be compared to a martial monarch. There was a huge gap between both cultivation levels, so it was incomparable."Is this the power of a martial monarch? I underestimated how powerful it could be. If I'm able to achieve a breakthrough to a martial monarch, I can use my advantage in terms of skills and techniques to conquer the common world!" Chase took a deep breath as his eyes brightened.There was another collision. The powerful strength rippled all around, causing th
The pieces did not fall but floated in the air.No one expected this.This included the officer who was guarding the corpse. His eyes widened at this incredible sight.Chase could sense spiritual energy gathering at the corpse."Could it come back to life?"He guessed what would happen.The giant's imagery suddenly opened his eyes as if answering Chase's question and got up.That was when the floating crystal pieces fell to the ground. They glittered like fragments of diamonds.The giant stood up, looking like a colossal spirit.Fortunately, the round hall, which had a radius of about 165 feet and was about a hundred feet high, was just enough to fit him."You… are… dead."The giant spoke one word at a time very slowly, but everyone heard him.It was a relief to the officer to see the giant pointing his fingers at Chase. The giant belonged to the Worthingtons and recognized who was the enemy.Chase and the others were surprised too. The only thing real on this giant was it
"A god's corpse?"Chase did not think this was possible. After all, this world's limit was a martial monarch. A god?Even though Chase would become a martial god again after leaving this world, his abilities were still far from a real god. There had to be something unique about that corpse for others to think that it was a god.This was Chase's initial thought.Walter and Willow did not believe it either."Could it be the corpse of an ancient giant beast?" Walter guessed.As a Two-Headed Giant Python, many ignorant humans he met mistook him for a Snake God or even a dragon. Weaker humans who met cultivators would also mistake them for gods."Talking about this doesn't help. Why not just lead us there?" Chase said to Cyril."Alright."Cyril led the group into the ancestral home. The place was surrounded by guards who looked like they were in a daze. All of them were equipped with sophisticated tools. Most of them had guns and grenades on them.A portion of these men possessed
That was too bad!Chase sighed when he saw what had happened.Greedy Wolf's blade intent was newly formed and not perfect enough. It could only suppress the minds and souls of ordinary people. Anyone with slight cultivation could fight against it.However, Chase had at least achieved a small part of his plan. This time, he channeled his vital energy and swung down his blade. A giant image of Greedy Wolf roared behind him.An image of a colossal wolf walking in the snow under the moonlight appeared in everyone's consciousness. It lunged at the defensive formation shielding the Worthingtons' ancestral home. The officer and everyone else inside the ancestral home heard a loud crack. It was shrill to their ears.That was impossible!The officer could no longer hear anything from the outside world. There was only fear and anger in his eyes.How did Chase break the defensive formation when its energy source had not been exhausted?He could only roar about this silently. There was n
The swing of his blade created a ripple in the air, and everyone watching was astonished.The officer realized that there was no vital energy used in that swing after sensing it via the formation. That was pure physical strength. However, the defense formation was sustained using stored vital energy.Below the base of the ancestral home was a giant space storing Dark and Light Emeralds and spiritual stones. They were mainly used to replenish the formation.According to reports from below, they had exhausted a hundredth of the reserves just to defend against one swing of the blade.That would mean Chase could exhaust the first level of the defense formation's reserve energy if he swung his blade at the formation a hundred times.The office was shocked at the data. However, upon further thought, he figured Chase would not last if he were to attempt swinging his blade down a hundred times. After all, he had clearly put in full energy for that one swing of the blade. There was nothing
What was the point of having such a strong defensive formation? They were like ragdolls to someone as powerful as Chase.Willow was proud of this. She was now a resident fan and Chase's groupie. She had started making plans to turn Chase into her slave and bodyguard.The others moved quickly to get inside during the short moment when the defensive formation was broken. Bright lights suddenly burst out from inside the Worthingtons' ancestral home.They watched as flashes of brilliant lights displayed formations in the air like electric currents. After the lights connected, the defensive formation was strengthened once more. The cracks on its formation lines were repaired, and the shield became thicker than before.Chase attacked with a rain of swords. The usual clanging from the attack turned into muffled sounds.It looked like the Worthingtons had placed a lot of effort into their defense. Their defense formation was unexpectedly strong.Chase saw how the rain of sword attacks di
When Willow and Cyril saw Walter attack, they both thought he had acted too recklessly. As expected, alarms blared throughout the Worthingtons' ancestral home.Warning lights flashed wildly as the guards swarmed out of the compound like ants from a nest.Chase stared in disbelief.In the programming world, there was a popular principle known as the Duck Test. If it walked like a duck, quacked like a duck, looked like a duck, and pecked like a duck, then it was probably a duck.This so-called ancestral home, aside from its exterior resembling a military base, had military-grade alert systems and personnel. By the duck principle, without a doubt, this was a military base."Is this ancestral house hiding some kind of secret? Why is the defense so tight?" Chase asked Cyril.Cyril was equally stunned by the scene. "My mentors just told me the Worthingtons' ancestral home is very important. I don't actually know what's inside… But now, it seems I underestimated how much it means to the
In Walter's understanding, even among ape-type beasts, it was nearly impossible to move so effortlessly between high-rise buildings using only physical strength—let alone doing so with such speed, like Chase just did.Willow, being a practitioner focused on soul-based and spiritual techniques, had also trained her body somewhat recently. However, she was nowhere near Walter's level and definitely far below Chase's.When she sensed that Chase had surpassed her even while she was fully employing both her movement techniques and vital energy without using any vital energy at all, she went numb inside."Chase is just a genius. I can't compare…" she said to comfort herself.In the end, even with her top-tier body movement techniques, she arrived at Cyril's location more than ten minutes later than Chase. Seeing everyone already waiting on her, she felt slightly embarrassed."Sorry, I was too slow.""It's fine. We were just taking a break anyway. What's ten minutes?" Chase waved it off
Chase and his group arrived at the rooftop of a tall building next to the Worthingtons' headquarters."That whole building over there belongs to the Worthingtons," Cyril said, pointing to the rooftop across from them where the giant words for 'Worthington Group' were displayed.For Willow and Walter, this was their first time seeing the high-rise buildings of modern society. Everything felt fresh and fascinating. They were curiously scanning the surroundings.Chase glanced at the crowds below and frowned. "This isn't a good place to fight them. There are too many civilians around. One misstep and it'll be a disaster.""Is that a problem?" asked Walter, the Water and Fire Two-Headed Giant Python. Although currently in human form, he still carried a beast's mindset and did not see anything wrong with the idea.Cyril, hearing Chase's concern, immediately understood he did not want to harm innocents. However, Walter, as Chase's contract beast, seemed surprisingly indifferent to human
In the Worthingtons' headquarters, Ricky looked at Dominic, who was still stunned from the earlier battle, and shook his head.Dominic clutched his throbbing head and asked, "Is there really no way to get all this weird junk out of my mind?""To clear it out, I'd have to work with Carla and treat you for nearly a full year. And that's only if we return to the nether realm. Here? It's practically impossible," Ricky snorted."You're a peak martial nirvana cultivator, and you've already mastered the Nine Nefarious Holy Fist, a top-tier yellow-ranked technique. You even have the Two Evils of Hell by your side, so why did you insist on fighting that kid one-on-one? Wasn't his destiny aura bright enough for you to realize who you were dealing with?"After explaining the difficulty of healing him, Ricky could not help but scold Dominic in a tone full of frustration. From his perspective, their side had been at a disadvantage ever since entering this so-called Dark and Light Mineral Ore.
