"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.
The old man's body shuddered violently, his face turning deathly pale as he spat out a mouthful of blood.His knees buckled, and he collapsed heavily to the ground."Old fool, I told you—today is the day you die," Chase said coldly.As he spoke, his figure vanished. In the next instant, he appeared directly behind the old man."What!" The old man's eyes widened in shock as he swung a desperate punch behind him.Chase barely flinched. His body wavered for a moment before steadying again. With a flick of his wrist, he unleashed a whipping kick, sending the old man sprawling to the ground.The old man spat out another mouthful of blood, his body convulsing as he stared at Chase in disbelief.How could this be? This youth's physical strength had surpassed his own?It made no sense. He had refined his body during his martial sovereign days and possessed a vast reservoir of true energy.Even an ordinary martial monarch of martial arts experts would struggle to match him. Yet this bo
Chase's figure glinted in the air as he evaded the attack of the venom. He reached out and grabbed a Ganoderma in his hand.The Ganoderma was light green and had a soft fragrance.Chase sniffed it and was immediately refreshed and energized. He felt great all over."This Ganoderma is really effective!" Chase's eyes brightened.He continued punching with both fists and exerted great strength as he attacked wildly.An explosion was heard as Chase swept a kick that struck the python on the abdomen.There was a loud bang, and the sound of bones cracking was heard. This massive creature had been beaten to a pulp by Chase.Chase breathed heavily as he turned to look at the black-striped crocodile.This crocodile was harder to deal with compared to the python. Even though Chase could easily beat back this ferocious beast, he would not be able to kill it."Looks like I need to use an ultimate technique…"Chase slowly closed his eyes. A technique appeared in his mind as he channeled t
Chase frowned, looking cautious.From his understanding of monsters, only a monster with golden fur, a giant, muscular body with great strength, and could spit flames would be at this level."Could this monster be another form of a powerhouse?"Chase quietly called himself stupid at this point. If it was really a powerhouse, there would be no ferocious beast here.This particular creature must have entered the land by accident and bumped into Chase coincidentally."But this monster is too powerful. I won't be able to take it down by myself."There was a bright glint in Chase's eye.If his guess was correct, there had to be other powerful beings in the forest besides this ferocious beast. Otherwise, this beast would not be prowling around this area."I'll fight it out!"Chase made the decision after some thought.Chase stepped hard on the ground and leaped into the center of the valley.Another angry roar was heard from the other side. It was a black bear that was about seven
A brilliant sword flash glowed, and Chase instantly retreated with a burst to put some distance between them.A muscular man in darkness surrounding him stood there with a blade. He was staring sinisterly at Chase. The robe covered the man completely, hiding his face. Chase could sense immense pressure from the man."A stage-four martial god!" Chase narrowed his eyes as he observed the man.From the aura emanating from his man, Chase determined him to be a stage-four martial god with a powerful physique and spirit. His physique was extremely strong."You became a stage-four martial god at such a young age. Not bad! Too bad you happened to bump into me!"The black-robed man sneered. His right hand, which was yielding his blade, was sliced. Blood gushed out from it, drenching the black iron blade.There was caution and grimness in his eyes. He did not expect a young stage-three martial god to be slightly more powerful than he was.Strong wind began to gale, and Chase's clothes b
Chase could not help gulping at this thought as his heart beat wildly. "I'll go for it!"He clenched his teeth as he made the decision and headed toward the Flood Dragon.It was nighttime, and he was in front of a quiet cave. He stood out front with a grim look. Chase observed the place for a long time. After confirming there was no danger, he entered the cave.A giant corpse was lying right in front of him—the Flood Dragon.Its body was cold and missing some scales. It was covered with blood stains, looking like it had died a horrible death.The Flood Dragon's body was cut up badly. Only its abdomen was in perfect shape. The Flood Dragon must have protected it before dying.Chase crouched in front of the dragon. He reached out to look through its skin, and a translucent green crystal appeared in front of him."This must be the Flood Dragon's emerald bone. The quality is incredible…"Chase inspected it carefully. This piece of Flood Dragon emerald bone must be its Life Treasure
"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
