"What do you intend to do?" Chase's expression grew wary.He fixed his gaze on the figure slowly approaching him. The man stopped just three feet away, his eyes narrowing as if he were trying to piece together a memory."Your aura… It feels familiar, as if I've encountered it before," Jaden murmured. His brows furrowed as he struggled to recall the sensation. Suddenly, his eyes widened in shock."Could it be…" His voice trembled with a trace of fear. "You're Chase, the last remnant of the Collins family?"Chase smirked coldly. "Since you already know, there's no need for pretense. I came to your pharmacy today to seek justice—nothing more."Narrowing his eyes, Chase released a chilling aura that pressed down on Jaden like a crushing wave.Jaden's body trembled uncontrollably, unable to withstand the overwhelming pressure. He fell to his knees in an instant.Ryker, who was standing nearby, was dumbfounded. His father was the commanding steward of the pharmacy, yet he had just kne
"Dad, what are you doing?" Ryker yelled. "I'm the steward of this pharmacy, and you're asking me to kneel and apologize to some backwater nobody? I—"Before he could finish, a resounding slap landed on Ryker's left cheek, leaving it red and swollen."You ungrateful fool!" Jaden seethed with rage as his face twitched in fury. "Didn't you hear what I said? He's a martial arts master!""What?!" Ryker froze for a moment before his eyes widened in disbelief. "No, that's impossible! He doesn't look older than 20. How could he possibly be a martial arts master?""Hmph! This world is full of prodigies. I might not want to believe it, but the terrifying strength he displayed is no lie!" Jaden growled in a low voice."This incident must be contained. Write a resignation letter immediately and send it to headquarters. Say that your old illness has flared up, and you're requesting leave to recuperate at home.""What?" Ryker was dumbfounded.His father was asking him to resign? After toiling
The wind whistled in the air as slash after slash of the sword swung down on Chase.Every swing was followed by a blood splatter."H-How is this possible?!"Jaden's eyes widened in disbelief.The guards he brought with him were elites of the Larsens. The one with the lowest cultivation among them was a stage-five martial arts saint.Such a team would be able to take down a castle anywhere."You're nothing but ants. How dare you even dream of killing me?!"Chase's dark hair billowed in the wind as he punched into the air. The power of the punch created a tremor that reverberated to every corner. A huge air wave surged, and all the guards collapsed.He clenched his fist. There was a bright, silver spear in his hand. He flung it out hard, and it shot through a wall ten feet away. It pinned Jaden on the shoulder.Jaden screamed and fell kneeling to the ground. His face contorted from the intense pain, and huge beads of sweat dripped from his forehead. There was a bloody hole on hi
Chase roared at the sky, and it echoed for several miles.He leaped into the air and swung his arm, crushing a man-made hill next to him. It then collapsed into pieces."How powerful!" Chase was delighted.He had a feeling he could easily crush a huge piece of wood in his hand right now."The power of a stage three martial monarch is strong, indeed," Chase muttered. He had absolute confidence right now that he could kill garbage like Jaden with one punch."Huh?"Chase looked up all of a sudden and frowned slightly. "Why are there people here?"He could see two figures coming toward him in the dark. They were coming closer to where he was."That's quick of them." Chase narrowed his eyes. He did not hide away but went up to them instead."You're being rash with this, young friend," one of the men said in a low voice. "The Larsens are a big family, and you've angered their patriarch and many of their elders. You're in deep trouble.""Oh?" Chase could no longer hold back when he
There was a loud bang when the palm hit Chase and he fell hard to the ground. Blood dripped from his mouth."That's a powerful palm attack!"Chase's eyes widened slightly, and his heart beat fast. He almost died from that attack. Fortunately, Chase had used his steel physique to block the attack at the crucial moment.Otherwise, he would not have been able to take the attack with his current cultivation level. He would have ended up seriously wounded.Chase clenched his teeth. His body hurt immensely. The power of that palm attack might have been softened by his shield, but it was still enough to hurt his internal organs and make his energy and blood boil."That attacker was really powerful. Could he be a powerhouse?"Chase was quietly astonished. However, he was not afraid. He had just achieved a breakthrough in his cultivation, after all. Moreover, his cultivation was at its peak as his power had increased tremendously.Myra's petite body trembled when she saw Chase fall to th
If Myra refused to say anything, Chase would ask her about it after they took care of this troublesome group.Swords clashed, and they were the only things that could be seen during the fight.Myra was quite formidable, but even she could not fight so many guards. There were too many of them; even the weakest was a stage-three martial artist."Why are you choosing the hard way, Myra? Do you think you can defeat so many of us?""Haha! I heard that you're a talented genius, Myra Kollins, but you don't really seem like it. How dare you go against the Larsens? You're asking for it!""Hehe! How about having a wedding? Marry me and we can live together as husband and wife. Doesn't that sound great?""Hoho! Why are you wasting time talking to a cheap thing like her, Mr. Jove? She's asking to be punished. Let's take turns enjoying her later. We'll make sure that she can't have enough of us later. Hahaha!"Myra's pretty face turned grim. She was furious. How dare those damned things insu
Jove's eyes widened from extreme shock. He had seen everything Chase could do and was stunned.Jove knew very well that this fight had to end soon. If that elder of his returned, things could take a worse turn.Jove used his most powerful technique and channeled the thick true energy within him crazily. He condensed the energy in this fist and punched it hard at Chase's sword.There was a violent clang. It hurt Chase's hand so much that he almost released his sword."This must be how powerful a stage-nine martial arts overlord is." Chase's eyes narrowed upon experiencing the powerful strength. "This is good timing. It's a good opportunity to practice my new cultivation level."Stage nine martial arts overlord!That was equivalent to peak martial arts overlord.Only two people among the younger generation had been able to achieve stage nine martial arts overlord. Jove had not let down his status as Saint."Kill him!"The remaining three guards were gleeful to see Chase suppress
"Thunder Flame!" Chase growled.Balls of purple fire began gathering from all around, fusing into the vines. Numerous vines began burning furiously. They cackled from the flame and slithered like pythons toward the guards who were trying to escape."No! Save me!""Please! I don't want to die…"Their desperate screams echoed throughout the forest and mountains.It was soon before peace and quiet returned. There was nothing left of the place besides a pile of burnt corpses. All of the guards sent out by the Larsens were dead.Chase was the only one left, and his clothes were white as snow. He stepped forward slowly toward three corpses and lit them on fire.The next moment, flames surged into the air as they cackled furiously. All three guards' corpses vanished quickly in the sea of flames before turning to dust."Not bad. Not bad at all."There was a bright glint in Chase's eye.The three guards had used joint attack martial arts and were quite powerful. Even though they were
"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
The next day, Chase continued his journey.Suddenly, the ground began to tremble violently. In Chase's line of sight, a massive tiger-leopard hybrid came barreling toward him, its enormous paws smashing trees into splinters as it charged forward.This beast was akin to a martial god-level wild tiger, with a hulking frame, fur as tough as iron, and an aura radiating intense negative energy.The wild tiger let out a deafening roar. Its soundwaves reverberated in all directions, shaking the earth and instilling sheer terror in anyone who heard it."Damn it! That beast is back again!" a young martial artist cursed through gritted teeth.His left arm hung limp, shattered, and his chest bore a gruesome gash. He had nearly died from the tiger's earlier attack."Run! If we don't run now, we're dead!"The remaining five or six young martial artists turned and fled in panic.This wild tiger's strength was overwhelmingly powerful. Even elite martial god-level warriors would avoid a direct
The giant ape's massive club swept through the air, creating a terrifying gust that caused the crowns of nearby ancient trees to tremble violently.Meanwhile, Chase executed the techniques of his secret codex with agile movements. His figure flashed like lightning as he dodged the attack with precision.He surged forward without hesitation and delivered a fierce punch directly to the ape's abdomen.This strike was even more powerful than before, twisting the ape's intestines into a mess and splattering blood across the ground.The giant ape howled in anguish, thrashing wildly in an attempt to shake off its pain.Out of the corner of his eye, Chase noticed a crimson serpent coiled nearby. It slithered sinuously, measuring around ten feet long, with a body that released a pungent stench.The snake's cold, piercing gaze was fixed on Chase. It emanated a chilling sense of oppression. Its forked tongue flicked out menacingly as it launched itself at him.Chase's expression hardened.
