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
In Chase's navel region, his true energy churned and coalesced into a swirling vortex of liquid energy, circulating powerfully within.He clenched his fists tightly, and his skin glinted with a metallic sheen.Every part of his body—his skin, bones, internal organs, and even his Sea of True Energy—was infused and refined by the true energy surging through him. His strength surged, increasing severalfold."Although my power has improved, it's still lacking a critical edge," Chase muttered with a faint smile."The martial monarch realm…" With a casual wave of his hand, a streak of true energy shot forth, smashing a distant wall.A thunderous explosion erupted, reducing the wall to dust and rubble."The destructive power still isn't enough," Chase noted, narrowing his eyes as a sharp glint flashed across them. "My true energy is still too weak.""It seems I'll need to pay the Coopers a visit," he murmured to himself.For Chase, the martial monarch realm—the next stage after martia
Blood sprayed across the ground, staining it crimson.Chase stood where he was. His clothing was immaculate, and his expression was calm. Even his heartbeat was steady as if nothing had happened."Hmm?" Inside Cooper Manor, Wyman Cooper abruptly woke from his slumber.He draped on a robe, opened the window, and gazed toward the street's end before letting out a cold snort. "As expected of the remnants of the Collins family. You dare storm into the Coopers' domain, ignoring my authority?"A shadow streaked across the air.Wyman leaped from his room, gracefully stepping along rooftops. He crossed over 30 feet in an instant, landing just steps from Chase."Chase, long time no see," Wyman said with hands clasped behind his back. His gaze was fixed on Chase. "Last time we met, you weren't even qualified to face me. And now, you dare come looking for trouble?""You want to kill me?" Chase asked indifferently."Kill you? Of course!" Wyman sneered. His expression was venomous. "I spare
In the CEO’s office of Blizzard Group in South River City, Quinn Norris’ eyes widened as she looked at the young man in front of her in disbelief. “What did you just say? You’re my fiancé?”“That’s right. Your grandfather promised your hand to me three years ago. This is the agreement. Read it for yourself.”The young man’s name was Chase Collins. He took out a marriage agreement and passed it to Quinn.Quinn wanted to die when she finished reading the agreement.She was sure that the agreement was real because it was the writing of her grandfather, Charles Norris. It was even stamped with his personal seal.Quinn took a deep breath. Her expression was cold as she asked, “Your name is Chase Collins?”“That’s right.Chase nodded. He could not help but stare at her.She had a beautiful face and nice, fair skin. Even though she looked tense all the time, she could still easily mesmerize men around her.Quinn was wearing business attire, which accentuated her voluptuous body, espe
Quinn stared straight at Chase. There was an arrogant look on her face.Her secretary, Elaine Parker, looked at Chase in disdain. How could a penniless man like him be good enough for their CEO?“Sure.”Chase replied nonchalantly, “Although, that won’t be up to you to decide. This marriage was decided by your grandfather. You can wait until I’ve cured your grandfather so he can dissolve this marriage personally. If he's willing to do so, I will honor his decision.”Quinn felt even more disdain for him when she saw him refusing to give up. “I’ll be in charge of my own marriage. Also, I’ll figure out my grandfather’s situation. There is no need for you to worry about it.”She quickly scribbled on a check. “Here's a check for five million. If you’re willing to dissolve the marriage between us, this money is yours.“Five million is nothing to me, but for those in the lower tier of society like you, it’s enough for you to survive your entire life. I believe you won’t reject my offer.”

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
"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
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'
