"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
"Your strength is impressive. I admit defeat. Farewell!" Chase gritted his teeth, preparing to activate a secret technique to escape."You can't escape," the old man said with a faint smile. "Surrender and come with me, or I'll resort to the cruelest methods to extract what I want from you."Behind the old man floated an ancient cauldron, its surface inscribed with intricate runes that emitted faint dragon roars.As the cauldron rotated, it unleashed waves of powerful energy, surging like a boiling ocean.Chase's expression darkened. He sensed the cauldron's overwhelming restriction sealing the courtyard, leaving him no route of escape.'Damn it, how did I provoke such a monster?' Chase cursed internally.Realizing that escape was impossible, he chose to sit cross-legged and close his eyes. He focused on gathering the true energy in his navel region and directing it to his left arm.Suddenly, his left arm trembled. A radiant glow emerged from his skin, enveloping his entire arm
"Hmph! Do you think I'll surrender so easily?" Chase scoffed coldly.Suddenly, a radiant glow erupted from his pores, and a crystalline purple-red rune surfaced on his body, emanating a brilliant golden light that formed an armor-like barrier."Martial Arts Codex, Martial Overlord Divine Armor, shield me!" Chase bellowed, activating the secret treasure gifted by Lyana."It's just a small trinket. It's hardly worth mentioning," the old man sneered dismissively.Just then, the golden light from Chase's body intensified. The purple-red rune expanded rapidly, transforming into an exquisite golden armor that enveloped every inch of his body.The old man's attack landed with a deafening impact on the Martial Overlord Divine Armor, creating a shockwave that rippled through the air.A sharp sound echoed as the divine armor shattered, but it successfully withstood the old man's fearsome strike."This is impossible!" the old man exclaimed, his eyes wide with disbelief. "How can a mere pea
Suddenly, the old man let out a furious roar, releasing an overwhelming aura that radiated from his body. It was clear he was ready to unleash his full power and eliminate Chase once and for all.A martial monarch expert!Chase's expression shifted in shock. He had not anticipated that this old man had already reached the martial monarch realm, which explained his terrifying strength and ability to effortlessly destroy the formation's binding chains.In the blink of an eye, the old man stepped forward at astonishing speed.A tremor rippled through the air as his massive hand reached for Chase's head, enveloping him entirely.The power of a martial monarch was overwhelming, as if the very heavens and earth were bearing down on Chase.Blood spattered everywhere.The sheer force of the old man's strike was devastating, and even the Martial Overlord Divine Armor could not withstand it. Chase's arm was shattered, his bones and tendons were snapped, and blood poured from the wounds.
"Thank you for your guidance, sir," Chase replied with a salute."Are you new to the Nefarious Deity Sect?" the old man asked."Yes. I've only just arrived here and hope that you'll be able to give me a pointer or two, sir," Chase said."I've been in the Nefarious Deity Sect my entire life. I know all of the sect's rules better than you." The old man brushed his snow-white beard with his hand while he was speaking. He went on and on."You're new here and must not know how powerful the Nefarious Deity Sect is. Our sect might not be the most powerful, but our power cannot be ignored. As long as you're part of the Nefarious Deity Sect, you'll have a strong backing behind you."Chase listened intently and kept nodding. He knew that this was a land where the strong ruled. Chase had gotten used to this long ago."It's been said that the master of the Nefarious Deity Sect is a martial god genius. He's an incredible man."To be honest with you, a talented young man like you will be nurt
"He's bullying me, Lyndon!" Chip turned and yelled at the battle vehicle.A big, muscular man came out of the vehicle.This man was huge and had a thick beard on his face. He looked quite ferocious."How dare you touch my people, you bastard? Which sect's disciple do you belong to? Don't you know the rules of the Nefarious Deity Sect? All personal duels have to be registered at the Enforcer's Hall. If someone tries to protect you, they'll be punished as well!" Lyndon sneered."Hoho! Are you telling me that stupid guy is under your protection?" Chase's lips curled.He did not hide his identity. After all, he was now aware of the Nefarious Deity Sect's rules.Moreover, he wanted to see for himself how great the Nefarious Deity Sect's top genius was. He wanted to see how powerful that person was to gain so much respect from these ants."You're dead!" Lyndon was enraged. He suddenly burst with speed as he ran toward Chase.The sound of weapons clashing echoed everywhere. A fierce b
"Who did this?!" Doug looked around angrily.Chase stood up and glanced at Doug. He saw that Doug was only a stage-one martial god."Did you do this?!" Doug glared ferociously at Chase.Chase shook his head. He did not really want to talk to Doug.A lowlife like him was not good enough to talk to Chase."Hmph! You have no idea what's good for you. I'll kill you today!" Doug roared coldly.He pulled his sword out from the sheath."Is death what you're looking for?"Chase narrowed his eyes."Haha! My big brother is almost here. Kneel and beg if you know what's good for you. I might consider sparing your life.""You talk too much!"The look in Chase's eyes was cold, and he gave Doug a nonchalant glance. Such a character would not affect him much. Chase was not interested in this man at all."You…"Chip watched all of this with fear in his wide eyes. "How dare you hit me?! My big brother won't let you get away with this.""Shut up!"Chase gave him a backhanded slap that land
A smile broke out on Chase's face. Such a quality pill made a huge difference in the attack skills of early-stage martial gods. It could even help a mid-stage martial god temporarily recover peak form.There might be some spiritual herbs in the vault of the Nefarious Deity Sect that were extraordinary, and Chase could not afford any of them with his current wealth. Besides that, he had to buy a set of suitable guides to further solidify his martial arts skills.Chase mumbled to himself, "I have to get a pill that can overhaul my bones and veins to improve my physique and make it go through a rebirth before I can continue enhancing my level."He thought about this."Die, you thief!"A roar was suddenly heard behind him.Someone in a green shirt came running toward Chase.It was a young man who did not expect Chase to move so fast. Chase lost him in the blink of an eye, and this angered the young man in the green shirt. "You won't escape me!"There was a sound of something flying
"Listen up! I won't destroy my skills because lowlives like you aren't good enough to be my enemies!""What arrogance!"A powerful negative energy exploded from the young man in black."Don't you know anyone who said that died in the end?"The young man in black waved his hand, and a black saber appeared out of thin air. It glinted with a chilling flash."A precious weapon!"Chase's eyes brightened. He had heard someone talk about the treasure vault of the Nefarious Deity Sect. This weapon seemed to have been taken from there."Die!" the young man roared, and the black saber slashed down the air.A vast sword flash shone with brilliance and came down at Chase like a raging storm that wanted to crush Chase to pieces."You're a mere martial god ant. How dare you act so arrogantly in front of me?"Chase grunted coldly. He swept the red battle spear in his hand across at his opponent.There was a series of explosions that caused tremors everywhere. The sword flash vanished and f
"Let's go!"The bearded man stood up with difficulty while glaring fiercely at Chase. "Mark my words! This grudge between us isn't settled. I won't let you off!"With those words, the group of seven quickly retreated while supporting the bearded man. In the blink of an eye, they disappeared from view.…"Did something happen here?" A while later, the sound of footsteps echoed nearby.Two young men in green robes approached, and as they took in the scene before them, their expressions froze in shock."What's going on here? I can see signs of battle. Could it be that powerful warriors were fighting here?" one of the youths asked, feeling perplexed."Wait, I smell blood! Could it be that someone was killed in a fight here?" the other exclaimed in alarm.Following the scent of blood, the two came across the bodies of several fallen guards lying on the ground. Among them, the bearded man was now barely clinging to life."It's him!"The two youths recognized the bearded man instant
"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
