Not long after, Chase raised his hand to swing down his sword.Wyman could only watch as the sharp blade came down at him. His chest tightened. He could feel the threat of death.Just then, something happened to change this.A grayish-white figure suddenly lunged forward from a dark corner with a saber that clashed with the sword swinging down.Both weapons collided, and sparks flew with a loud clang.The old man in gray grunted as his arms tremored from the impact. His hand tore open, and blood splattered.Chase reacted while the old man was distracted. He moved his wrists and swung the sword around. It moved in a curved trajectory, slitting Wyman across the throat. Hot liquid gushed out from it.Wyman's eyes widened with disbelief. Everything happened too fast. He had been defeated in a blink of an eye. Wyman had been absolutely defeated.How did that happen?Chase was only a martial arts overlord. How did he burst out with such terrifying power?"You…" Wyman grabbed his ne
"A martial monarch can create huge waves with just a flip of a hand. They can do anything and are indestructible."Chase mumbled, "But… What does that have anything to do with me?" His voice was extremely cold. It was chilling.Chase had once looked forward to becoming an unbeatable powerhouse who took the world by storm, but reality was cold and cruel."Haha! Scared now, aren't you?" The masked man in the black robe began laughing tauntingly at him. "Get lost if you're scared or you'll end up losing your life.""You're wrong." Chase shook his head. "You're nothing but garbage to me. You're no better than an ant.""Still acting stubborn when you're about to die, huh?" The man was enraged.He vanished the next instant. His abilities were strange and unpredictable. Chase was unable to grasp his next move.It happened all of a sudden.The man attacked Chase from the back. He clawed at Chase from behind, his nails digging deep into Chase's skin. Blood gushed out from the wounds."
Even the normal sword techniques Chase used were equivalent to a second or third-stage martial monarch's attack. There was no way a mere martial monarch could stop his attack.It did not matter if he was a martial monarch. This was considered an opportunity now that Chase was facing the situation.The look in his eyes burned with determination.A purplish-red flash glinted in his eye. He channeled the blood and energy in his body and tuned his true energy to peak performance. He moved both his palms and shot out hundreds of shadow fragments from them. The explosion was deafening to the ear.Every palm attack contained incredible power as they exploded in the air, causing the space to collapse. It swallowed the masked man in black.Thunderous explosions were heard everywhere.Chase's attack had the man cornered. Millions of incoming punches rendered him helpless to fight back, and nothing he did helped him.After a while, the punches stopped and vanished.Chase stood tall where
Chase's combat skills were too sharp. He could sense the difference immediately and did not hesitate to initiate the attack. He made sure to go for the kill."Too bad." Chase shook his head and sighed. After that, he turned his gaze toward a forest not far away.He could sense a few hidden auras in that direction. Powerful figures seemed to be hiding in the dark, watching him.Chase's consciousness instantly sensed that group of people. He continued moving forward and headed straight to where they were.Seven figures immediately leaped out from the forest. All of them had weapons in their hands as they surrounded Chase."Did you kill Black Five?"All of them were in green shirts and had powerful auras. It was obvious that they came from the same organization. They were prepared to fight side-by-side and worked well together."Who's Black Five?" Chase wondered."Are you playing dumb?"One of them grunted coldly and said, "Are you trying to deny what you did after killing him in
"How dare a mere absolute martial monarch dare offend me?" Chase burst out with a laugh. He slapped the young man, and he fell rolling to the ground.After that, Chase punched him and destroyed his core."No!" the young man screamed."Chase Collins!" "How dare you?!"The remaining people exclaimed, and three of them immediately lunged forward to attack Chase. They were all late-stage martial monarchs.Powerhouses of such cultivation levels were not considered very powerful in the martial domain, but in the common world, they were considered superpowers. Normal martial arts organizations were not their match.The three men joined forces and surrounded Chase. If it were any other martial artist, this was a dangerous situation, but Chase was not afraid."Get lost!" Chase roared. He channeled true energy within him, which shot out in the form of a huge airwave. It shot out with great power.Deafening explosions followed, and the three martial monarchs' attacks were vanquished ins
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.”
Half an hour later, Chase found the Turners’ Residence according to the address given to him by the old man.Henry Turner, who was close to 50, smiled as he finished reading the letter given to him inside the living room. “It’s true. It’s the writing of that esteemed man.”“Now do you believe who I am, Uncle Henry?”Chase asked, “The old man told me that you asked for his help right before he died. He requested that I protect your family. Can you tell me what happened?”Henry sighed. “It’s like this, Chase. A business competitor wrote me a letter anonymously to tell me that he would kidnap my daughter.“I’ve hired five bodyguards for her, but she has been spoiled by me since young. All five of them have been chased off by her.“After giving this thorough consideration, I decided to ask for your master’s help.”Henry smiled at Chase. “Your master has given me the solution in the letter you brought me. You need to be my daughter’s fiancé. That will give you a good reason to protec

"You little bastard, just die!" Wyman's eyes were cold and filled with murderous intent.This strike carried all his true energy. If it landed, it would undoubtedly be fatal.Chase frowned slightly as he turned to glance at him. Then, with a flick of his finger, sparks flew, and the dagger snapped instantly.The assailant's eyes widened in disbelief. His face was full of terror. "Impossible!""Get lost!" Chase growled, delivering a powerful kick. The man's ribs cracked as he was sent flying several yards. He crashed through the wall of the front yard and landed deep inside Cooper Manor."What's going on?!" A furious shout echoed from within Cooper Manor. "Protect Mr. Wyman!"Immediately, several guards appeared.However, these men were no match against a martial arts overlord like Chase.With a single wave of his hand, golden glowing talismans shot forward, suppressing the guards in an instant.Explosions erupted in succession, and with a burst of blood mist, the guards were b
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 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
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
