The silver-striped giant python smiled sinisterly before lunging for the kill once more. It bared its fangs like it was about to tear her apart with one bite."I'll fight you to the death!"There was determination in the young woman's eyes. She suddenly channeled whatever remained of the true energy in her body and condensed it in a blade flash which was several feet long. She swung it down hard.That was when it happened.Her blade flash broke apart, and the young woman flew off while coughing up a vast amount of blood.The python opened its mouth. Its bright red tongue kept flicking. It looked excited. "You're too weak. You're nothing but a lowly ant.""You're right. I am an ant."The python was taken aback to hear a cold voice echoing in its ears. It turned to look in that direction and saw a man in a black robe."Huh?" Chase raised an eyebrow. "Looks like you've recovered."He did not expect the python to be a late-stage martial deity."Who are you?!" the python growled.
"My name is Cora Lacroix," she replied."Cora Lacroix? That's a nice name." Chase nodded and added, "You're seriously wounded right now. You should stay here for a while and rest."He turned to leave after that."Wait!" Cora quickly called out to him. "If you don't mind, please stay here and cultivate with me. I'm willing to serve you."Chase paused in his footsteps when he heard her. He shook his head. "That's not necessary. You should focus on getting better."Even though Cora was extremely beautiful, Chase was not interested in her nor did he want to incur further trouble. He rejected her offer and went off."Jerk…"She bit her lips as she watched Chase leave. The look in her eyes turned dim."Cora Lacroix…"Chase felt slightly conflicted. "The rules are cruel in this world. The weak are meant to be stepped on by the strong. This applies to everyone regardless of gender."…Night came, and a bonfire burned furiously deep in the mountains.Chase was lying on a heap of gra
"Don't worry. I know what I'm doing." Chase smiled and reached his hand out to press on Cora's legs.Cora exclaimed softly as her entire body stiffened. She could feel Chase pressing on her calf, and a warm flow of true energy went into it. She felt shy as her heart thumped. She was secretly overjoyed.Not long after, the true energy dissipated.Cora was relieved. Her pretty face was blushing as she quickly lowered her head. She did not dare look at Chase.Chase did not notice this. He continued closing his eyes and speaking in a low voice, "Your injury is quite serious. If I'm right about this, you were stung with snake venom. I need some time for my cultivation to recover. Once I'm done cultivating, I'll take you home."Cora felt disappointed to hear that.However, Chase's next words perked her up."You have to come with me for now." Chase opened his eyes to glance at Cora. "Your physical attributes have been affected by the venom, which has caused your blood and energy to dep
"Thank you! We should leave now," Cora quickly reminded him.Chase nodded. "Now that you're fine, we should go."They prepared to head off as they left the barren mountains.However, that was when Cora suddenly stopped. She pointed to a distance away, "There seems to be a light coming from the top of that mountain."Chase turned to look. There was a pearl the size of a fist on the peak that was shining with the glow of the moonlight."That's strange. Why is that pearl glowing? Chase mumbled as he stared at it for a while. He could not figure out the reason."Forget about it. Since we've found something interesting, we should go take a look. But even if there's an opportunity, it might not be meant for us.""You're right. But that pearl is filled with thick spiritual energy and doesn't look ordinary. It must be something quite mystical." Cora looked quite excited. "If there's an opportunity, I'll achieve a breakthrough in my cultivation.""Let's have a look."They continued the
This material was for refining weapons and was known as the Silver Soul Silk. It was something that was rarely seen anywhere. Even the various guides and books Chase had on pills did not have much information on them.The Silver Soul Silk was a precious material that could only be created under special circumstances.Chase did not expect to accidentally stumble upon such a rare item by accident."Is the Silver Soul Silk valuable? What do you plan to exchange it for?" Cora asked carefully.Chase was taken aback to hear that and he had no idea how to react. He replied, "Are you planning to rip me off right after I saved your life, Cora?"Cora paused for a moment. "What do you mean?""I just saved your life, which means I'm actually a good person. But you can't bear to give me even one thread of the Silver Soul Silk right after I saved you?"Chase's lips twitched. He was speechless for a while before finally commenting, "You really love money, don't you?"He flicked his finger gen
Chase was momentarily stunned by this but grunted coldly, "I see you're a martial god.""It's no wonder that your physical strength is equivalent to the power of a spiritual treasure."Chase took a deep breath. His heart rate heightened as his blood boiled. His physical strength had achieved greater heights than before after his experience in the mountains."You're quite powerful yourself, but I don't want to waste any more time. Let's get this over with quickly." Chase immediately used his mythical technique to attack.His body began to glow with blinding gold light as golden electrical currents covered his body. It looked like he was wearing armor made out of gold."What a powerful Might of Thunder and Lightning!"Cora's pretty eyes widened. She had heard her father, Tate Lacroix, talk about it before. This was the legendary spiritual protective energy."A martial god? I can't believe you're a martial god." The man in black looked shocked, but he quickly resumed his calm."Ho
However, it was different for Cora. She was just an ordinary person. Any slight contact with the lethal poison would kill her.Chase did not have time for further consideration. He quickly used a divine technique to crazily absorb heaven and earth's spiritual energy to make up for the true energy he had exhausted.The man in black held his hand to his chest with a wary look as he asked Chase coldly, "Who are you?" "Why do you care who I am?" Chase smiled coldly. "You should be prepared to pay the price if you're trying to kill me.""Hmph! Are you trying to kill me?"A sarcastic look appeared on the man's face as he continued, "You're too arrogant for your own good. Even though you're a martial god, you should listen to my advice and kneel to beg for mercy. Otherwise, you'll only end up regretting coming here."The man took out a black bead slowly while he spoke.A cold wind galed while he spoke, and a pitiful wail was heard echoing through the mountains."What's that?" Chase n
Chase said nothing.He had already noticed how the man in black got even more powerful after using his mystical technique."I'll kill that woman first!"The man laughed sinisterly as he raised his arm to slap right at Cora."No…" Cora howled dejectedly as she shut her eyes. However, the pain she was expecting did not come. Instead, she felt a cool air around her. She opened her eyes to see Chase standing in front of her. He reached out his arm to stop the slap from the man in black.This slap was extremely powerful as it contained raging strength.If it were some other person, their bones would have been broken. However, Chase's arm remained unhurt. His muscles swelled and it took the man's attack head-on."How did you do that?" The man's eyes widened."You talk too much." Chase shook his head and sighed. A look of pity appeared in his eyes as he stepped forward to press his hand down hard on the man.There was a loud bang. The man fell hard to the ground from Chase hitting do
The blade contained powerful sword intent, and it sliced open a horrible wound on the Black Iron Demon Crocodile's belly. Blood gushed out from it.The crocodile roared furiously as it struggled. However, it could not escape as the blade had cut its veins, which immobilized it.Chase exhaled. He went forward and kicked the crocodile's head.A series of crisp cracks were heard before the crocodile ended up in a pool of blood. It was a horrifying sight.It was a martial nirvana beast, and even though it had been seriously hurt, it could still move. Chase did not dare waste any time. He took out some rope he had prepared earlier and wrung it around the crocodile's neck. He dragged it out of the underground palace."This Black Iron Demon Crocodile's body is massive. It must've consumed the blood essence of many human martial artists. I wonder what other surprises it has for me."Chase chuckled as he prepared to leave.However, that was when Chase paused in his footsteps and suddenly
The sinister and moist aura became stronger. Chase could even detect the rotting stench of dead bodies in the aura."Could there be more than one dead body buried in this place?" Chase contemplated this, but it did not bother him too much as victory was the only thing crucial to him.He leaped into the dark. Chase would come to some crossroads along the way, but he chose to keep going straight. The path led him underground.He had stepped into the tunnel for less than 15 minutes when he caught the sound of fighting. It did not come from outside but from below.He was puzzled and quietly snuck over.There was a loud bang, which was followed by the clanging of weapons.A massive dark shadow was on all fours in the middle of the underground palace covered in rubble. It had four limbs and a huge head. It had terrifying teeth and sharp claws while its back was covered with dark scales.It was crouching, and its red eyes looked vicious and violent. It could lunge forward and eat some
"Damn it!"Chase was enraged. He growled while madly absorbing the pure vitality and heaven and earth's spiritual energy from all around him.He sat down with great pain. He put his hands together to guide the vitality to condense it into lightning form.Purple lightning struck suddenly, tearing through the air and wrapping around the golden light.Chase's forehead was covered in sweat, and his entire body stiffened."This thing is tough to deal with. Why is it so hard to absorb it?" Chase clenched his teeth. The golden light contained incredibly powerful energy."I don't believe that you can take this."There was a cold look in Chase's eye. Thick veins throbbed all over him while limitless energy poured from within his body and into his hands. The energy gathered in his arms.The Might of Thunder and Lightning was an extremely powerful attack technique that was unbeatable.Chase was relieved to see the lightning and light vanish. Even though this was a powerful move, it exhau
"It's a voodoo bug!"The look on Chase's face changed. He instantly realized what it was and quickly waved his arms to release a raging wave of strength that caused numerous trees around him to fall.A swarm of green bugs, with each the size of a thumb, emerged in hordes. They were like swarms of locusts that filled up every space in the air.Massive sword flashes instantly sliced through them, and the bugs were crushed to dust. However, Chase had disturbed other ferocious beasts laying low in the forest with this move.In an instant, piercing howls were heard.Various beasts and birds came lunging at him.Chase's expression turned dark. He formed into a shadow fragment as he dodged the attack of these animals.He did not choose to escape because he could sense many wild dark beasts in this area.Chase had to get used to being in battle mode.That was the only way he was able to get into the rhythm of fighting the enemy while slowly training himself to uncover a combat techniq
The Sword Manual was extremely difficult to understand. Chase had spent close to two days on it before he could grasp the surface-level information it contained.He figured that it would take at least one month for him to be able to completely cultivate the first stance. As for the second and third stances, as well as the most powerful killing move, he did not dare to have much hope for now."I wonder if there are valuable medicinal herbs in this mountain range," Chase wondered.A sword flash brushed past suddenly, cutting off a huge chunk of a rock.Chase's eyes widened. He stopped and looked toward somewhere not far off.A dark, green venomous snake that was more than 20 feet long was slithering about, emanating a dangerous aura as it stared at Chase."A venomous dragon python?" A grim look appeared in Chase's eyes.The venomous dragon python was a rare snake-type ferocious beast. It was covered in lethal venom, and even a stage-four martial god would die instantly if he cam
However, Chase was not about to let him get away. He went after Thorn while wielding his sword.The sword's blade sliced Thorn's skin, causing blood to splatter everywhere. He was once again seriously wounded, and the slash on his chest looked horrible.That was a vicious swing of the blade. It had destroyed Thorn's core, and his basic martial arts skills were gone."No! This isn't possible…!" Thorn was chilled to the core. He fell to the ground and was close to death. His eyes were wide with disbelief. He had never expected to lose to a human martial god.This was a great humiliation!"The Black Feather Guards will tear you apart and turn you to dust!" Thorn cursed at Chase with clenched teeth."Exotic races like you are pretty dumb." Chase shook his head. "If I'm killed, your people will die with me. There are many factors to consider in this world. You need to be aware of the consequences."Chase spoke unfeelingly. The next moment, he lifted his leg and kicked Thorn in the th
"Scared? Haha!"Thorn threw back his head and laughed with a condescending look in his eye. "Human martial artists are nothing but ants. You only managed to obtain resources and heritage from what was left behind by your ancestors. It's because of mere inheritances that you think you're superior and know no fear. I'll teach you a lesson today about how weak humans are!"Chase grunted coldly, and the Thunder Sword appeared in his hand. Stepping forward, he lunged for the kill and swung his sword down.Weapons clashed, and sparks flew.Thorn's expression changed as he stumbled back a step. His arm was numb."The sword technique of a human is indeed exquisite. But such an unruly technique can only be used on low-level dark beasts. It won't be able to do anything to me." Thorn put his hands together, and a dark battle spear formed. The spear kept flashing with light like a venomous snake flicking its tongue.He moved quickly and lunged at Chase for the kill.The look in Chase's eye
"You shouldn't have left the sect like that, Chloe. What if the elders punish you?""This is all because of me, Kara. If I didn't leave, you would've gotten into trouble too…""Don't be silly. You're my junior. I can't stand by and watch you die."The women's words caught Chase's attention."Huh? It's them…"He raised an eyebrow, not expecting them to be hiding deep inside the valley.However, Chase quickly realized something, and a glint flashed in his eyes. He quietly said to himself, "They're martial artists too! Even though they're only early-stage martial gods, they possess the Energy of Drago Tiger. They must have taken some spiritual herbs and refined them."These were no ordinary women. They had a powerful background, so it was not unusual for them to possess some treasures. After all, a martial god had a long lifespan. Common herbs that were easily found would not be able to fulfill their needs."I don't care how unhappy you are, reveal yourself right now," Chase said
The lion's massive body flew off into the air.Chase lunged forward. His left hand was curved into a claw as he grabbed the lion's head. He pulled hard with his hand despite having a sword in his right.Blood splattered everywhere.Using sheer strength, he separated the lion's head from its body and flung it to the side.This caught the attention of many dark beasts that were martial gods."Huh? This human martial god looks really powerful. If we can get such a young elite to be our servant, we can make use of him for quite a while."Chase's slaughtering had crossed the line of most of these dark beasts.Powerful demon energy immediately burst from every corner of the valley. It gathered within the valley and formed into a dark chain of demon energy that came falling on Chase like a net to kill him.Chase swung the Purple Lightning Blade. The blade's flash exploded to every corner and destroyed the demon energy.There was a sharp look in Chase's eyes as he noticed something st
