A ferocious tiger stood before him.It was as massive as a small mountain. Its speed was lightning-fast as it charged forward with wild force, uprooting trees and shattering stones beneath its feet.The sheer impact rumbled like thunder, sending up a thick cloud of dust.Around it, wild beasts scattered in terror, bolting from the tall grass and dense underbrush as they fled for their lives.Chase, however, stood motionless, not even taking a single step back. He simply watched the rampaging beast with a calm, almost mocking smirk on his lips.This tiger was no ordinary beast—it was a fierce predator. Its strength was overwhelming, and its defense was nearly impenetrable. Even peak-level martial artists would have no choice but to retreat in the face of such a monster.Unfortunately for the tiger… This time, it had run into Chase.The tiger lunged at Chase, raising its razor-sharp claws. It was ready to slam down with a lethal strike.Yet Chase still did not move, nor did he bo
Chase had now inherited the Undying Demon Ancestor's legacy—a terrifyingly powerful soul cultivation technique that would grant him combat strength rivaling the strongest warriors in the days to come."This Undying Demon Ancestor was truly formidable. Even in death, he left behind such an intricate and deadly restriction. If I hadn't mastered certain special techniques, breaking through it would have been impossible."A chill ran down his spine at the thought, yet he still felt very fortunate.Had it been anyone else, it would have been useless even if they possessed this pendant. They would not have been able to comprehend its soul-based inheritance.After all, the soul power of a supreme being was immensely terrifying. Even if only a trace remained, the sheer barriers within the inheritance itself would prevent anyone from exploring it."He truly was a schemer..." Chase murmured, his eyes flickering with thought.It became increasingly clear to him that the Undying Demon Ancest
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
“If that’s what you think, you can go ahead and buy what you need on your own.” Riley left after saying this coldly to Chase.Chase shrugged and walked away to hail a taxi by the road. “Take me to Emgrand Group.”Riley entered a Starbucks and sat down. The more she thought about it, the angrier she was. She took out her phone and sent a message to her chat group: [This sucks! This really sucks!]There were only five people in the chat group, and they were all colleagues who got along with Riley.It was not long before a woman named Anna Clayton replied to her message: [What’s wrong, Riley? Who upset you this time?][My dad found some random country bumpkin and made him my fiancé.] Riley finally found someone she could vent to.[What?][Woah! Are you for real?]The group chat immediately became active.[Why would I lie to you?]Riley typed angrily: [The worst thing about this is that my dad is making me get him a job at our company. My dad claims that it would be easier for hi
“Sir, the Quaids had their eyes on the land of Green Hills Orphanage 12 years ago. They tried everything they could to convince the orphanage director, Gideon Hills, to give up the orphanage, but he wouldn’t budge. "In the end, they burned down Green Hills and grabbed the opportunity to take the land…“The Quaids later became one of the five elite families of South River City because of that land!“I’ve received information that the Quaids will be attending an auction three days later to bid on an emerald. Rumor has it that the emerald is a remnant from Green Hills Orphanage that is supposed to be magical.”Chase looked like he was ready to murder them. Sam felt as though an invisible pair of hands was strangling him, and it sent chills down his spine.“The Quaids have to pay for this!” Chase smiled, but there was a chilling look in his eyes.They had murdered 108 people in that fire for a piece of land.He immediately instructed, “Make preparations. I'll attend that auction in
Quinn’s pretty face lit up. “Mr. Collins, I’d like to find out if the miracle doctor is as good as you say. Is he able to treat ALS?”She had asked this question because her grandfather, Charles, was suffering from ALS. It was known as one of the top five terminal illnesses in the world. ALS patients normally would only have three to five years to live.The symptoms included muscle atrophy, stiffness of limbs, and paralysis. It even affected the respiratory muscles, which would cause the patient to die of respiratory failure.Charles' condition was at the late stage, and he could die at any moment.“ALS?”Sam was taken aback. He replied seriously, “If it was some other doctor, there might not be hope, but it shouldn’t be a problem if it's the miracle doctor who treated me five years ago.”Quinn felt as though something had gone off in her mind, and her breathing got a little more ragged.If it were someone else, she would not have believed it. She might even think she was being

"I surrender as well. Please give me a chance to live…"Another person knelt on the ground as he begged. He was filled with humiliation and regret."Stop begging him. We're all men who should never bend against our will!"A man next to the corpse of the leader clenched his teeth. The look in his eyes was cold as he stared at Chase. "Stop dreaming, young man. Once news of what happened tonight gets out, you won't be able to escape. You won't leave this place alive.""Hoho. Is that so?" Chase smiled. He placed his sword back in its sheath and turned to walk toward the leader's corpse. His tone was filled with sarcasm and taunt."What do you mean?" The guard who asked the question suddenly had a bad feeling about this.Chase ignored him.When he was about three feet away from the commander's corpse, Chase suddenly made a move.He pulled out the sword from his waist and stabbed hard into the leader's throat."You! You…" The companion of the leader was shocked, his expression fille
Chase remained stoic as he raised his foot and crushed the commander's head. He placed the body into his storage ring before turning to leave.Not long after, he heard the sound of horse hooves.Numerous great horses with shiny coats came galloping. There was an Iron Armor Guard on each horse, and more than 20 of them were there."Brother!"A guard who had just arrived looked at Chase furiously. He seemed to be their leader.He immediately stopped his horse and leaped off of it. He was filled with fury, pain, and sadness.The commander Chase had killed was his biological brother. How did he die just like that?"I'll tear you apart!"The leader of the guards roared as he rode his horse toward Chase. He waved a black steel hammer in the air threateningly, and it whistled furiously in the air.A blinding flame suddenly appeared, burning the air until it crackled and became contorted in the eyes of others.The commander suddenly screamed painfully as his body rolled about in the
"Is that so?"Chase glanced at the commander coolly. He raised his arm, and the Water-Breaking Sword in his hand flared with blinding flames. "Heaven Burning Finger!"Burning flames spread everywhere as if trying to burn everything in its path."What move is this? It looks more powerful than before." The commander realized something was wrong as he quickly put up his defenses. However, this move was too fast for the commander to evade, and there was a loud crack.A sword swung down sideways onto his shoulder. Blood splattered in the air as the commander's right arm was chopped off and hot blood flowed to the ground. The bushes around him began to shake violently, seemingly disturbed by something."Damn it!"The commander retreated in pain. He was furious as he said to himself, "That little bastard's swing clearly has power that surpasses a martial god. No wonder he's acting so brazenly. This can't do. I have to report this to the superiors immediately and get them to send some po
"How is this possible?! I'm defeated!"The Iron Armor Squadron commander was in disbelief. His body stiffened as he stood where he was. He was covered in blood as his life drained quickly.He lowered his head to look at the deep sword wound on his chest. He mumbled, "Who exactly are you? Your sword technique is nothing ordinary…"While the commander was in a daze, a dagger suddenly shot out and stabbed viciously into his neck.The commander screamed in pain. He held his hands against his throat as blood splattered. He looked up with difficulty. His eyes were filled with hate and regret.Before he could say anything, life went out of him, and he fell crashing to the ground."Is he finally dead?"Chase stood breathless where he was as sweat dripped down his forehead. Chase was covered with wounds, especially his left arm. There were sword wounds all over it that had almost ended up with the left side of his body being sliced off.These were all caused by the commander's attack du
The Iron Armor Squadron commander grunted coldly as well. His arms were numb, and his face was pale. He kept retreating backward."How is this possible? I'm actually defeated!"The commander's eyes dimmed. He looked at Chase thoughtfully and suddenly noticed something. His face turned even grimmer than before.He realized that Chase's aura was much weaker than before. It must have been exhausted extensively. After suffering a punch from the commander, the protective energy within Chase was completely gone."Damn it! He tricked me!"The commander's face fell as he said furiously, "You cunning bastard. You were pretending to be weak so that I'd make a wrong judgment. You wanted to use the opportunity to your advantage. I won't allow that!"He put his hands together for an incantation. True energy was channeled from his body and into the halberd, making it glow in a dark light as threads of dark runes appeared.The commander held up the halberd and rushed forward like a demonic kin
This man was a peak stage-eight martial god. He could achieve a breakthrough to become a stage-nine martial god at any time."It's the commander of the Iron Armor Squadron. What is he doing here?"The Iron Armor Squadron was just like their name.The guards were always in heavy iron armor and had incredible defense techniques. Ordinary martial artists would not be able to touch them. However, what was one of them doing there?"How dare you snatch the Iron Armor Squadron's treasure, you little bastard? Die!" The commander was furious and shot out at Chase like a cannonball. Energy waves filled the air."You're pretty lucky today."Chase's eyes narrowed as he saw a steel dagger behind the commander's back.The dagger flew toward Chase in a flash, as quick as lightning.Chase was prepared. He reached out his hand to grab the dagger and used a sword technique with it.Their weapons collided, and the screech of metal was heard.Chase could feel his hand go numb with pain and quick
The giant ape roared furiously. It was huge and could not move very fast. It could only watch as Chase flew toward the Flaming Ganoderma. Chase reached out to grab it, and that was when the Flaming Ganoderma suddenly shot out a burning light.A thread of flame coiled around the Flaming Ganoderma, tugging on the herb and plucking it out from the ground. The flaming thread coiled tighter around the herb to tie around it and pulled it up by the roots."What?!" Chase's eyes widened with disbelief. He had no idea what just happened.Meanwhile, the giant ape came near, and its gigantic punch hit the ground with massive strength.The ground and mountains shook. As dust blew up into the valley air, huge rocks flew into the air from the impact. These flying rocks in the air hit the Flaming Ganoderma, causing sparks from the collision.Meanwhile, Chase was fully focused on controlling the flaming thread on the Flaming Ganoderma while dodging the giant ape's attack. He was trying to move a
