"You know nothing about martial arts, yet you dare to spout such nonsense?!""I'm just stating the facts," Chase replied nonchalantly."You...!" Francis flew into a rage and was about to beat him up.Seeing this, Bianca immediately stepped in and said, "Please stop saying such things, Mr. Collins. He's right. We're complete newbies here. We should keep quiet."Bianca was starting to feel annoyed at Chase as well.He did not even know anything about martial arts! Why could he not just shut up?Besides, Carter was representing the Coopers. Chase should be saying nice things about him, not words that would damage his reputation.William also said with a frown, "I agree with Bianca, Mr. Collins. Let's just keep quiet for now. We wouldn't want to risk Master Watson getting distracted."Still in the middle of the fight with Tyrone, Carter yelled angrily, "Just wait, you rude brat! I'll deal with you after I've won this fight!"Seeing that nobody would heed his advice, Chase fell sil
The sudden voice from afar had stunned everyone, even Tyrone.Directing their gazes toward the source of the sound, the crowd stared agape at Chase, eyes filled with shock and confusion.After a moment of silence, Huey burst into laughter and said, "Is it just me, or did he say that he can save Carter?""Hahaha! I think he just wants to boast a bit before he dies so that he can preserve some of his dignity!" Caleb laughed loudly as well.It was obvious that they did not believe Chase one bit.They had witnessed Tyrone's skills firsthand. Even Carter was easily defeated, not to mention someone like Chase.Carter, who was on the brink of death, opened his eyes and sighed helplessly when he saw that his 'savior' was Chase.He was dying here, yet Chase was still saying such things.Thinking that Carter did not hear what he said, Chase repeated, "If you're willing to apologize to me, Master Watson, I'll save your life!"Chase did not have a good impression of Carter. He thought of
“You’re asking for it!”Huey was enraged and he said savagely, “Cripple him, Mr. Lemmington. Don’t kill him. I just want him crippled. Otherwise, it would be no fun!”Tyrone locked in on Chase murderously. He licked his lips and said in a bloodthirsty manner, “I’m going to cut off all four of your limbs, you brat! I’ll soak your body in sulphuric acid and make sure you die a slow but horrible death!“Die!”He leaped off the ground, which cracked the moment his feet left. Tyrone used the momentum from the leap to shoot himself like an arrow straight toward Chase.Bianca, William, and the others looked horrified when they saw this.Oh no!Chase was done for.Carter shook his head in shame. He felt helpless to have caused Chase such trouble.When Huey saw Tyrone making a move, he got so excited that he roared excitedly, “Tremble before Mr. Lemmington, Collins! Let’s see who will come to your rescue this time!“You don’t need to worry. I’ll help you take care of that bitch, Quinn
Huey’s eyes were red. It was the look of extreme fear.Caleb fell weakly to the ground from fright. There was fear on his face.The expert fighter, who was also the Supreme Elder’s disciple, had come to help the Harrigans but had ended up dead. He was actually killed with one punch from Chase!This was ten times more unbelievable than an illusion. Huey was unable to accept this at all.Chase was nothing but an ant to him. If the Coopers and Quinn were not adamant about protecting him, Huey would have killed him long ago.However, reality told him that the ant in his eyes was really a martial arts expert whom even the Supreme Elder’s disciple could not defeat.How could Huey accept this truth?The heavens had played a horrible joke on him that was a million times more ridiculous than Mars crashing into Earth!Chase walked toward them stoically. “Are you very surprised?”Huey fell sitting on the ground in fear. He was trembling all over. “W-What should we do now, Uncle Caleb?”
Huey was not moving. His eyes were not open, and it looked like he had died just like that.Caleb was close to 50, and his physique could not compare to the younger generation. However, Huey spent his life indulging in alcohol and women. His health was not great for a person his age, and he was no match for Caleb at all.Bianca said with disdain, “What a horrible person. He's willing to kill his nephew just to survive.”Caleb ignored her sarcastic words and looked at Chase to grovel. “I’ve already killed him, Master Collins. You should keep your promise and let me go.”Chase replied tauntingly, “No, I won’t.” Caleb coughed up blood. “Are you playing me for a fool?“Liar! You’re a liar! You didn’t keep your promise!”“There's no need to keep any promises when dealing with the Harrigans,” Chase said with indifference.Caleb screamed hysterically, “You deserve to die, you little bastard! You’ll die a horrible death. The Harrigans will never let you off!”“What a coincidence. I w
Carter was no longer acting arrogant. All he had now was full respect and reverence for Chase.It was because Chase was a true master of martial arts!Chase smiled and said, “There's no need for such formalities, Master Watson.”The next moment, his palm reached out in lightning speed to grab Carter by the shoulder.Carter jumped at the sudden movement, but he next felt a warm sensation pouring into his body. It was repairing his injuries at great speed.“You kill with one hand while saving lives with the other. You’re an unpredictable one, aren’t you?”He was feeling even more in awe about this and quickly thanked Chase, “Thank you, Master Collins!”Chase finally turned to Bianca, who was looking terrible. He asked, “Are you alright, Miss Cooper?”“I… I feel much better.” Bianca nodded while looking pale.She had been used to the good things in life and had never witnessed such a scene before. She felt like her stomach had been emptied from all the throwing up.Bianca looked
“He only had one bulletproof vest on and one machine gun. He killed whoever stood in his way!“As for guns, it’s true that they pose a threat to him. After all, a true master of martial arts isn’t God.”Carter paused a moment before continuing, “But a true master of martial arts has a predictive ability for danger.”“Can he tell the future?” Bianca asked.“Not exactly.” Carter smiled and said, “You can interpret it as a sort of a speedy muscle response. For example, if you have a gun pointed at a true master of martial arts, he or she will immediately sense that bullet the moment you pull the trigger and dodge it.“Of course, this will only apply under certain circumstances. If you put the gun to his or her head, they won’t be able to dodge the bullet.“However, even if the bullet does hit them, the vigorous energy within them will push the bullet away from critical organs like the heart.”Carter sighed at this point and added, “Think about it. If you can’t kill them with a bu
John felt like his mind had just exploded. He said in disbelief, “What are you saying? That my brother and Huey are d-dead?“Ye… Yes, Master John,” the man stammered.John suddenly kicked him to the ground. “That’s bullshit! How can they be dead with Mr. Lemmington with them?”“Master John, even… Even Mr. Lemmington is dead…”“No! I don’t believe this!” John roared.It was not long before several more men returned with news.Their news was the same as the first man who reported it.John froze. He became motionless and looked like he was not breathing.After several seconds, he suddenly coughed up blood and roared hysterically. “The Harrigans will never let this go, Coopers!”Darkness overcame him after that, and he passed out. “Get the doctor! Master John has fainted.”The Harrigans were a complete mess at that moment.It was not long before news of Caleb's and Huey’s deaths shocked South River City.Everyone felt a chill over this news.South River City was about to fal
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
Chase knew that among all the shadow beasts in the region, these creatures provided the greatest challenge for honing his strength.The more powerful the beast, the stronger its physique, and its blood essence carried immense energy. Consuming it could bring tremendous benefits to a martial god.However, the area where he had just fought was still on the outermost edges of the Forbidden Zone, meaning there were no truly formidable shadow beasts nearby.Another deafening beastly cry shattered the silence, shaking the heavens.A massive shadow loomed over Chase, blocking out the sunlight and forcing him to squint against the darkness.His brows furrowed, and when he looked up, his pupils contracted sharply.A colossal black eagle soared above, its wings flaring like razor-sharp blades, dominating the skies with imperial arrogance.This shadow beast's aura was even more terrifying than that of an ordinary martial god-level beast!It had reached the peak of stage-nine martial god!
"Stay… Stay back!"The white-robed young man was terrified, stumbling backward in panic."What are you all standing there for?! Save me!" He screamed, his voice filled with desperation.Finally snapping out of his daze, the black-robed martial artist lunged at Chase, his palm slicing through the air in a powerful strike. However, he underestimated Chase's strength.With a single impact, the man's entire arm shattered into dust. He let out a miserable scream as his body was sent flying!Chase's attacks were too swift, too fierce. Even with the two of them working together, they could not withstand his power!"Run!"The last remaining martial artist in green robes was so frightened that his soul nearly left his body.He turned to flee without hesitation.Chase chased him down in an instant, delivering a powerful whip-like kick that knocked him unconscious on the spot.Then, he grabbed both lifeless bodies and tossed them into the undergrowth. Only after dealing with them did he
Hearing this, Chase immediately understood the situation. They were trying to rob him!He spread his hands casually. "Oh, that thing? I already ate it."Beside him, Emilia nearly burst out laughing. This guy was too good at bluffing!Chase rolled his eyes. "If you want it so badly, why don't you come take it?""You refuse to cooperate? Fine, I'll make you regret it!" The young man in white robes grew furious, his expression turning ice-cold. "You little bastard! Don't think I'm afraid of you just because you practice martial arts! If you don't hand it over, I'll break your damn legs today!""Oh? Is that so?" Chase grinned, showing his teeth. "In that case, why don't we spar a little?""You're asking for death!" The white-robed young man charged at him, his companion following closely behind.A terrifying surge of spiritual energy exploded outward.Chase narrowed his eyes. With one punch, he sent both of them flying backward with a loud bang!"W-What?! This is peak… martial god
The young woman's face flushed red as she hastily pulled her collar together, her wary gaze locked onto Chase."Are you a body-refining martial artist? Attacking me like that was despicable, shameless, and downright vile! I'll kill you to uphold justice!" she shouted indignantly.Chase let out a helpless chuckle. "Miss, I just saved your life, yet instead of thanking me, you call me despicable?"The woman stiffened, her lips parting as if to argue. In the end, however, she lowered her head and muttered an apology, "I lost my composure. Please forgive me."After saying this, she retrieved a dagger from her robe and handed it to Chase. Her expression seemed sincere."My name is Emilia Larsen. This was left to me by my parents. Consider it my way of repaying you for saving my life. I hope you won't refuse it. This dagger is exceptionally sharp—it can slice through iron like it's mud. Keep it safe and don't lose it.""Oh?" Chase raised an eyebrow as he accepted the dagger, examining
