"No!" The old man's scream echoed through the air as his face contorted in pain and disbelief.He could not understand how this mere martial arts overlord could unleash such terrifying power. It defied everything he knew.In an instant, the two figures clashed within the desolate ruins, exchanging brutal blows.Chase's fingers formed a sword. A razor-sharp energy emanated from him, piercing the sky like a divine blade. His attacks were overwhelmingly fierce, every move embodying the essence of advanced martial techniques.The sheer intensity forced the old man to retreat repeatedly, leaving him no room to counter."How is this possible? This brat has mastered such an advanced and profound sword technique!" the old man muttered through gritted teeth as his heart seethed with hatred."If this continues, I'll have no choice but to flee. Better to live and fight another day!"A glint of madness flickered in the old man's eyes as he suddenly let out a thunderous roar. His true energy
The old man roared in fury, raising his hand to strike as surging true energy erupted from his body. It was wild and unrestrained.Their fists collided with a resounding impact.The old man felt a powerful force ripple through him, shattering his fist and dislocating his entire right arm.He let out a piercing scream of agony.Before he could recover, Chase's left leg swung out, his knee slamming into the old man's abdomen.The dull sound echoed as the old man was sent flying backward, landing heavily on the ground. Blood spurted from his mouth in thick droplets.He struggled to get up, and his face was pale and twisted with rage."You brat! How dare you ambush me? I'll tear you apart!" the old man screamed furiously.Chase shook his head calmly. "Old fool, is that all you've got? I haven't even used my full strength, yet you can't handle it?""What did you just say?" The old man's face turned red with anger, almost causing him to cough up blood again. "You insolent wretch! I'
"Burning blood essence to gain temporary power?" Chase scoffed. "That's a reckless method."He understood that martial monarchs of martial arts could ignite their blood essence to unleash power far beyond their limits. However, doing so required an extensive recovery period and inflicted irreversible damage on their bodies.The old man's intent was clear—he wanted to drag Chase down with him.'He's insane!' Chase thought grimly.Realizing he could not hold back any longer, Chase activated his sword essence. Sword light burst forth, slicing through the old man's last line of defense.Blood splattered everywhere.The old man's chest was pierced, and his body collapsed to the ground like a broken ragdoll. A wooden hairpin punctured his heart through his chest, leaving the old man utterly powerless. His eyes widened in disbelief, filled with venomous hatred."I curse you! I curse you to eternal damnation…" Before he could finish his words, he let out his final breath.Chase approac
Suddenly, a crimson blade arc slashed through the sky, hurtling toward Chase."Get back!" Chase barked, swinging his sword and unleashing a burst of sword energy that obliterated the blade arc.Leaping into the air, Chase nimbly dodged the man's relentless attacks.Sparks flew as metal clashed repeatedly, creating a cacophony of sharp, ringing collisions.As Chase evaded, he felt the terrifying intensity of the man's strength. Each attack narrowly missed him, heightening the sense of peril.The man's punches and kicks carried immense force, each blow capable of exerting tens of thousands of pounds of pressure. Some strikes reached nearly double that strength, enough to crush even martial supremes into pulp, leaving not a single bone intact.Despite the overwhelming power, Chase's body remained resilient. His skin glowed faintly, as if forged from golden steel. Though the man's strikes caused some pain, they failed to inflict serious damage.Meanwhile, Chase observed his opponent
At that moment, the man in black unleashed his full power, amplifying the technique's terrifying might.Chase's face paled as he realized the danger. Without hesitation, he activated a secret technique.Pure and potent true energy surged through his body, merging into his flesh and meridians. His aura surged, reaching unprecedented heights.A series of thunderous crashes echoed as Chase's fist tore through the overwhelming tide of true energy, obliterating it into nothingness.Simultaneously, he pushed his speed to the limit. He transformed into a blurred shadow as he charged forward."This lunatic dares to attack head-on? Does he have no fear of death?" the man in black thought. He was momentarily bewildered. Before he could react, a massive fist loomed in his vision, hurtling toward him.He raised his fist to block, colliding directly with Chase's strike.In an instant, an overpowering, unstoppable force surged through him like a tidal wave. The sheer impact sent the man in bl
"Get lost!" Chase's body twisted unnaturally like a phantom as he slipped to the side. He stepped forward swiftly, launching a devastating punch into the man in black's abdomen.The sound of ribs shattering echoed in the air as the man was sent flying once again.At this moment, rage no longer clouded the man's mind—it was replaced by fear."How is this possible? How can his speed be this fast? I clearly locked onto his movements..." He was baffled, unable to comprehend how anyone could achieve such blinding speed. Even after exhausting himself and burning his true energy essence, he still lost track of Chase.Footsteps echoed. They were slow, deliberate, and unyielding.Chase approached him. His expression was impassive and cold, and there was a faint smile playing on his lips. "You like playing with fire? Then, let's see how you handle the Flames of Heaven."A flicker of flame leaped forth.Chase opened his mouth, exhaling a crimson spiritual flame that morphed into a fiery lo
This was the culmination of the man in black's years of training, his most powerful trump card. He knew that if he did not stake everything now, his fate would be sealed with death.A wave of murderous intent surged through the forest like a tidal wave.The man's body swelled. His once gaunt frame transformed into a hulking, muscular figure. His bulging tendons radiated a terrifying pressure.The man charged forward like a raging bull, exuding ferocity, brutality, and unrestrained destruction."Die!" he roared as his fist barreled toward Chase like a falling meteor."The one dying today is you." Chase's lips curled into a cold smirk.In the blink of an eye, he leaped forward, meeting the attack head-on with a single punch.The deafening impact shattered the ground beneath them. Both figures were blasted backward, and blood spattered into the air.The man spewed blood from his mouth and nose, his chest caving inward. His ribcage was shattered, leaving his torso a grotesque, sunk
Chase extended his hand, catching the item that fell from the man in black's robes. He smashed the man's skull with a single palm strike without hesitation.This was the second time he had encountered someone from the Coopers."The Coopers?" Chase sneered coldly.He would not tolerate anyone provoking him. The Coopers wanted him dead, but he also had every intention of wiping them out.…Cooper Manor was located in the eastern district of Capital City. Kolson Cooper, head of the Coopers, sat in the main hall. To his right was an elderly man with a gaunt face and gray, wiry hair.At that moment, the elderly man was resting with his eyes closed. Suddenly, his eyes shot open."Mr. Kolson, there's been trouble," the butler announced as he hurried into the hall.Kolson asked with furrowed brows, "What happened? Don't tell me that item has been stolen?" His tone remained calm. The Coopers had amassed immense wealth after years of operating in Capital City. As a martial arts overlor
"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
