Meanwhile, Timor began using mystical techniques. He vanished from where he stood like a ghost."That's nothing. I'll take you down!" Chase grunted coldly and flicked out a thread of energy from his left hand.The next second, Chase's energy shot precisely at the silver-white long spear. A loud ringing was heard, and the strong impact knocked the spear in another direction. It brushed Chase right past his shoulder."That's really fast!" Tibor frowned and vanished once again. He appeared silently near Chase.Tibor attacked with his spear again. It aimed right at Chase's chest with a terrifying power.He was not as powerful as Abel was, but he was better at hiding himself and moved very fast. His attacks were precise and powerful. Once someone was hit by him, that person would be seriously wounded.However, the most shocking thing was Chase's quick reaction. No one expected that he could kick the spear and stop it in midair."Oh no!" Tibor's expression changed. He did not expect C
"What? How dare you destroy my protective energy field?!" Abel was shocked. The look on his face changed because if his protective energy field collapsed, his body would be burnt to a crisp.Timor took the opportunity to move several yards forward to appear instantly in front of Chase. He stabbed the silver-white long spear in his hand at Chase's throat.Chase's left arm reached out to grab Timor's right wrist. He pulled hard on it and took the spear forcefully from Timor. He flung Timor out hard, causing Timor to crash into dozens of rocks."You garbage!" Abel said with distaste. His figure shimmered, and he soon appeared in front of Chase. He raised his hand to slap Chase. The crisp sound of the slap echoed in the air."You're dead!" Chase's cheek was swollen, and a dark look appeared on his face. There was a vicious look in his eye. He wanted to tear Abel apart.Abel's action had enraged Chase.Chase touched his swollen cheek as massive true energy burst from him. The energy w
Abel chanted with one hand and growled, "Sword!"A loud clang was heard, and the sword on his waist flew out from its sheath. It shone with chilling light and shot into Abel's hand like lightning and with precision.Abel pulled the sword out from its sheath, and a sinister flash was seen as the sword swung down. When it collided with all four puppets, sword aura began to shoot out with a brilliant sword flash.The fight was intense. Every exchange resulted in an airwave that made the caves tremble continuously."What a lethal sword!" Chase's eyes narrowed when he sensed the power of the sword in Abel's hand. He did not expect Abel to have such a powerful weapon."Your sword-fighting technique is pretty good. No wonder you're brazen enough to challenge me."Chase grunted coldly and used his true energy once more. He moved with the speed of lightning and punched Abel right in the chest. The golden true energy on his fist poured along his arm into the sword.He swung the sword agai
Abel could not help coughing. He tasted blood in his mouth. That palm attack he suffered had caused him serious injury.Abel was about to leave the valley and return to his sect. He planned to take revenge on Chase another time. Just then, a dark figure suddenly appeared right in front of Abel. It was Chase.Chase did not waste time talking and dealt him a slap right away. He said coldly, "Where are you going, you worthless thing?""How dare you insult me, Chase Collins?! You're dead. The Secret Sect won't let you get away with this!" Abel clutched his burning cheek as he roared and glared at Chase.Chase gave him another slap and sneered, "The Secret Sect? Do you think I don't know what sort of set that is? You're just a group of despicable lowlives! You're the kind of garbage I despise!"His power had increased. In addition, Chase's physique had surpassed the strength of those with the same cultivation level he had. Even someone like Abel could not do anything to him.Abel fl
This time, Chase used every ounce of strength he had to punch Abel in the abdomen. Abel could hear the sound of his bones cracking.Chase raised his leg to kick hard at Abel. He stepped viciously on Abel's stomach. Abel grunted in pain.Abel coughed up a huge amount of blood.Chase grabbed Abel by the neck and raised him by the head. He shook Abel left and right while saying coldly, "If you want to play, I'll have fun with you until the very end."Chase's fist punched madly at Abel's face and head. The sound of the punches echoed in the air."Argh… Stop hitting me, Chase Collins! If you kill me, the sect master will not let you off!" Abel said furiously.Chase replied to him with a hard kick to the face. Abel was kicked off several feet away before crashing to the ground in a daze. He almost passed out.Abel was sprawled on the ground with a very swollen face as blood trickled down his mouth. He tried to stand up with difficulty. There was a vicious glint in his eye."You truly
"Be my slave? Do you think I'm stupid? I can kill you right now!" Chase said sardonically."No! You can't do that!" Abel howled with despair.Chase punched Abel in the chest one more time. Abel's chest collapsed, and a few of his rib bones broke. He coughed up a lot of blood as his body curled up."Did you understand what I said? All that's left for you to do is to die!" Chase said coolly. He reached out to press Abel's head down to make him lose his mind and turn him into a mindless zombie.It was then that a few figures suddenly appeared at a distance. Among them was Hero, who had not been seen for quite a while."Haha! Chase Collins! You didn't think I was still alive, did you? Look who I brought with me."Hero laughed savagely. A few disheveled figures appeared from behind. It was Chase's sisters, Quinn and Lyana, the Sosa Saintess. They had ended up in the hands of the Secret Sect.Not only that, but Hero was using them to threaten Chase."Your sisters are in my hands, Cha
"Let Abel go, Chase Collins! Do you want your sisters to die here? I'll give you a few hours to consider this. Once your time is up, don't blame me for ruining them!" Hero grunted coldly.He waved his hand, and a few martial artists picked up Abel to drag him away from Chase.Chase seemed to decide on something. He knew that there was no way of escape. His only chance might be to use his mystical techniques. Once he used this mystical technique, he would end up in a weakened state for several days.However, he no longer cared about this as long as he could save his sisters. There was no better time to use this forbidden mystical technique."Kill Chase Collins!"Hero suddenly raised his hand, and a few martial artists attacked at the same time with swords in their hands.Chase roared and used the mystical technique. He was enveloped in a greenish-black light, and an eerie pattern appeared on his skin.The pattern looked like a slithering snake that was savage and evil. Chase's bo
"I admit that you're quite powerful, Chase Collins! But there's still a huge gap between us! You're not my match. I'll cut your head off personally!" Hero roared madly.His sword swung onto Chase's left shoulder.However, when his blade sliced into Chase's shoulder bone, only a chilling thread of flash was seen. All it did was create a shallow wound on Chase. It failed to slice through the defenses of Chase's solid flesh."What?" Hero's eyes widened in disbelief.Chase smiled. His body suddenly tremored, and he dislocated Hero's wrists. Hero's right hand released the grip on his sword, letting it fall to the ground.Chase reached out his left hand and slapped Hero. Hero's body shot out like a cannonball and crashed heavily in the mountains far away.There was a loud crash. His knees were on the ground, which cracked like spiderwebs under the impact. His body quivered violently.Abel struggled to stand from the crushed rocks. Half of his face was swollen badly, and blood dripped
Suddenly, the void rippled as if disturbed by waves. Two large doors materialized and slowly opened. A hunched old man in gray robes stepped out from within, leaning on a cane. His presence exuded an air of ancient decay and twilight.Chase's gaze sharpened as he observed the elder."A stage-nine martial monarch," Chase murmured, his tone laced with surprise.The elder's appearance puzzled Chase. He had no recollection of this figure, only a faint impression of his withered and sunken face."Youth is a precious gift. To reach the early martial monarch stage at such a young age is extraordinary. If you're willing, join me, and I'll accept you as my disciple," the elder said as his gentle eyes rested on Chase.The elder's voice was calm and reassuring, as though he had long been acquainted with Chase."Apologies, but I'm not interested in joining any sect or faction," Chase replied flatly.Martial deity-level opponents did not concern him; he could fight them head-on. However, m
Blood sprayed through the air, painting it red. The man let out a pained scream as he staggered backward.However, Chase gave him no chance to escape. With Phantom Nine Steps, Chase closed the gap instantly. Swinging his left hand, he released the Slay Immortal Blade, which arced gracefully through the air.Blood erupted as the blade sliced clean through the man's neck. His head flew into the air, spinning before crashing to the ground.Chase extended his tongue and licked his finger, his cold, indifferent gaze locked on the lifeless body."Did you really think I'd be easy to bully?" he muttered.Without sparing another glance, Chase stepped forward.Along his path, corpses littered the ground—each one belonging to Secret Sect elders or martial masters. They were all killed with a single, decisive strike.Chase moved with ruthless efficiency, and his strikes were swift and lethal. Before long, he reached the vicinity of the library.His piercing gaze seemed to cut through all o
"Additionally, this Secret Sect Library contains numerous precious texts, including manuals on artifact refinement, alchemy, swordsmanship, and even divine martial arts techniques," the old woman explained slowly. "These are the very foundations that sustain a martial sect's existence."'So, that's it! No wonder the people of the Secret Sect are so eager to target me!' Chase realized.Martial techniques, divine abilities, cultivation methods, treasures—Secret Sect disciples who lacked talent could only choose techniques suited to their abilities, limiting their progress to higher levels of cultivation.Only through great fortune or direct inheritance could one hope to obtain advanced techniques and divine abilities. The Secret Sect was structured around this principle, fully aware of the limitations of their methods."You Secret Sect people are far too greedy, daring to set your sights on me!" Chase's anger surged.The sheer value of these cultivation texts was unimaginable. A sin
"Get lost!" Chase shouted coldly, his arm muscles bulging as he swung his hand fiercely. With a single slap, he sent several Secret Sect elders flying with blood spraying through the air.The onlookers were stunned, and their expressions were filled with disbelief.Those elders were supposed to be top experts of the Secret Sect, yet they crumbled like paper dolls under Chase's casual blow. Even their bodies were half-destroyed."How annoying," Chase muttered while furrowing his brow.He had not failed to notice the subtle energy fluctuations in the area as he pursued his targets. It seemed these individuals had planned an ambush, but Chase detected them in advance and used the opportunity to trace them back to the Secret Sect itself."Sir, please follow me. The sect master wishes to speak with you," the old woman said, bowing respectfully."Oh? What does he want?" Chase asked in a skeptical tone as he grew more cautious. Something about the situation felt off, and he suspected th
Chase glanced at him coldly, then casually struck out with a palm. A purple dragon shadow materialized, transforming into a ferocious dragon-headed handprint that obliterated the man on the spot, leaving nothing behind.Gasps of horror rippled through the crowd.The sheer power of the technique was terrifying, like something out of a nightmare. The remaining onlookers trembled uncontrollably, their hair standing on end.This was supposed to be the Secret Sect's strongest defense, yet it had been destroyed effortlessly. At that moment, they fully understood what kind of monstrous enemy they had provoked."My friend, perhaps we can talk this through," came an aged voice that was calm yet deliberate.An elderly woman emerged from the depths of the Secret Sect. Her hair was white, her frame hunched, and she leaned on a cane, appearing frail and close to the end of her days.Despite her unassuming appearance, her slightly clouded eyes radiated wisdom, as though she could see through t
"So, this formation is a bit clever," Chase remarked while narrowing his eyes and smirking slightly. "But you lot are nothing more than vermin, hiding in this pitiful place, clinging to life. Today, I'll send you all to your graves!"With those words, Chase extended a finger, unleashing a force so powerful it tore through the void like a pillar supporting the heavens. It then descended with unparalleled might.The grand array trembled violently, rippling with energy. A deafening explosion followed, and the formation shattered completely."What?!"Deep within the Secret Sect, the elders widened their eyes in disbelief as their faces twisted in fury and shock. For generations, this formation had stood firm, unshaken even by martial monarchs. Only the ancestors of the Secret Sect had ever been able to manipulate it. Yet now, a young stranger had obliterated it with ease, injuring many of their members in the process."You're courting death!" a white-robed elder roared, leaping into
"Me?"Chase gave a cold smile and suddenly pressed his hand onto Elias' shoulder. Instantly, a surge of domineering energy condensed like a towering mountain and crushed down violently.The sound of bones shattering filled the air as Elias' entire arm was pulverized. Overwhelmed by the excruciating pain, he let out a wretched scream."W-Who are you?!" Elias shouted through gritted teeth, trying desperately to endure the agony while channeling his energy to resist the oppressive force."I'm Chase Collins. Today, I'll cleanse this sect and extinguish it!" Chase replied with an icy and grim expression.He raised his other hand, his palm radiating light as strands of energy coalesced to form a thunderous sword form. Its sharp edge seemed capable of cutting through anything.With a sudden motion, Chase swung the sword.The blade descended like a streak of lightning, moving so fast it resembled a meteor streaking across the sky. In an instant, it sliced through Elias' throat."I won'
Terrifying figures rushed out from all directions.Among them were high-ranking members of the Secret Sect, elders, and even core disciples. Each was consumed by fury, and their killing intent was surging."Scram!"As the powerful forces of the Secret Sect charged toward him, Chase let out a cold shout and flicked his hand.A brilliant arc of light shot forward like a blade, slashing through the crowd.Screams filled the air. Several arrogant martial monarchs were torn to pieces in an instant."Kill him!"One martial monarch roared and unleashed his martial skills with desperate fury.To Chase, however, their techniques were pitifully weak. With a casual reach, he crushed them effortlessly, obliterating their attacks.Chase moved fluidly, darting left and right. In the blink of an eye, three martial monarchs were shattered into pieces, and their remains were strewn across the ground.It all happened so quickly.In just moments, 12 martial monarchs were reduced to nine corpse
The scene left the Secret Sect disciples horrified.Who could have imagined that Chase possessed such godlike power? Even the strongest among the Secret Sect could not withstand a single strike from him.What kind of monster was this man, and where did he come from?"Kill him!"Suddenly, a furious roar echoed. A crimson war spear pierced the sky, hurtling toward Chase with lightning speed, closing the distance in an instant."Another insect," Chase said coldly.He raised his hand as he caught the spear mid-flight. His fingers clenched tightly.A surge of overwhelming power poured out, and the spear shattered inch by inch, disintegrating into iron fragments before exploding into dust with a boom!A Secret Sect elder staggered backward, coughing up blood. His face was etched with terror as he stared at Chase, his pupils contracting violently.How could anyone be this strong? It was as if a god or demon had descended upon the earth."This is bad—he's far too powerful!""Retreat
