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
“No, we haven’t. Master Collins is very mysterious. He seems to have appeared out of nowhere, and with the Coopers trying to keep a secret, it’s even more difficult to find out anything about him.“Although…”“What?” John looked at the man murderously.The man hesitated before continuing, “Mr. Caleb and Mr. Huey died the same way Mr. Tyson and Mr. Harlem did. All their heads are gone.“That’s why I suspect that the Master Collins hired by the Coopers is the survivor of Green Hills Orphanage!”John flipped the table over in anger. “It must be him! It must be that little bastard! He’s the only one who could be so ruthless!”The Harrigans turned pale with fear.That survivor from Green Hills Orphanage had joined forces with the Coopers.Would this mean the end of the Harrigans?There was madness in John’s eyes. “Contact the Supreme Elder right now. Tell him that the Harrigans are in trouble. He has to return to Bactria and stop all of this!”…The old address of Green Hills Orp
"How did they die if I didn't kill them?" Chase shook his head coolly. "These garbage are not worth a mention.""You… You're really cruel…" The plump woman shivered. There was fear in her pretty eyes. She had a different expectation of someone like Chase. Someone like him should be a gentleman. How could he be someone so cruel and vicious?"Who are you? Why did you kill the Secret Sect disciples?" someone roared. There was a coldness in the voice.A group of martial artists in black walked into the restaurant. A black-robed man was in the lead—Huck Brennan.Huck was standing outside the restaurant. He was surrounded by people, but none of them dared to get within three feet of him. There seemed to be an invisible wall around him that put a distance between him and the people. He intimidated the crowd.Behind Huck were several martial monarchs. Each of them was powerful in their respective abilities, especially the peak martial monarchs. They were very close to becoming extreme mar
"Unfortunately, you shouldn't have crossed me."Not long after he said this, he dealt a kick. He kicked one of the men at the waist with great strength. The man flew several yards away, his spine breaking from the kick.There was one last person left. He was extremely frightened and turned toward the deep alley to run."Huh?"Chase raised an eyebrow.That man was attempting to escape. Could he have sensed danger at that moment and enhanced his power based on a last-minute judgment, which helped him escape?"I've said before that none of you can leave!" Chase said coldly. He leaped up and moved with great agility. His legs strode in the air, and a kick whipped out at the head of a man who was trying to escape.The martial monarch flew off about a dozen feet from the impact. He crashed into a row of tables, and half of his face had caved in. All his teeth were crushed."What witchcraft is that?" The remaining person turned pale."You're not good enough to know anything!" Chase w
The dagger was pulled out, and blood splattered everywhere."You…" Vaughn was so shocked that his eyes widened."This guy… He has strong willpower…"The others took a sharp breath with a wary look in their eyes. That man had come to them of his own accord and allowed them to stab him in the shoulder with a dagger. If this were some other person, that person would be howling with pain.However, this man did not make a sound. He even used the pain from the stab to erupt with power."I'll kill you!" Vaughn roared as his muscles swelled up. Energy erupted all over him as he raised his hand to hit Chase viciously on the head.Chase raised his palm to block the attack. He used force with his wrist, and a crack was heard. Vaughn's arms were broken. After that, Chase crushed his throat and he lost the chance to even struggle from the grip.A human head rolled to the ground."That's vicious!" Shocked voices began discussing this.Everyone watched on.Chase wiped the remaining blood fr
Chase was more than a hundred miles away from the small town at the foot of the mountain. He moved at the speed of lightning to get there. When he finally arrived at the small town outside the valley, it was noontime.Many martial artists were gathered at the foot of the mountain. Corpses of the Secret Sect disciples were strewn all over the streets."Looks like many people barged into the valley to save others last night, but they ended up in a heated fight instead." Chase shook his head.Among the corpses were those who were wearing uniforms of Secret Sect disciples while others were in ordinary village clothes. Some had blood and dirt on them. They had clearly died not too long ago."Huh?"Chase's gaze fell onto the chest of a corpse. The height and body of the corpse were not usual. There was also a unique tattoo on its chest.Chase stared at it for a while, and he slowly frowned. "That's the tattoo of the Secret Sect!"He recognized the tattoo. It was the mark of the Secret
The man in black, who was the leader, grunted coldly. He pulled a saber from his waist and came attacking Chase."You're dead!"A murderous look shot out of Chase's eyes.Chase rushed forward with the speed of lightning. He was like a cheetah on the hunt and was soon fighting with the man in black. They had only just started fighting.An arm broke, and blood gushed out. The blood stained his chest, and he flew about three to four feet away.The man in black looked frightened. He could not believe it. He was a martial deity. How did he get defeated by garbage who was just a mere martial monarch?"How is this possible—"Before he could finish, Chase swept a vicious kick at him. He kicked the man right in the head. His brain exploded with blood and pieces of his brain matter splattering everywhere."Kill him!" The remaining people were angered. They came attacking Chase at the same time.Chase faced them coolly. He slaughtered them quickly as he moved around them like a phantom g
"Chase Collins?"Upon hearing his name, the expressions of the man and woman in green shifted dramatically."That's right, it's me," Chase replied coolly."How did you find us?" the man asked sharply.Chase scoffed without offering an explanation. It was clear they recognized him, so he saw no reason to waste his words."If you know me, then answer one question," Chase said, fixing his piercing gaze on the man. He spoke slowly, enunciating each word, "Where is she?"Quinn, Lyana, and his other sisters were his family. Their safety was paramount to him.The man's expression flickered between hesitation and uncertainty."I don't know what you're talking about," he finally said while shaking his head slowly."Heh, so you refuse to answer?" Chase's eyes narrowed sharply. "If that's the case, don't blame me for what happens next!"He raised his arm, and a brilliant silver light began to radiate from his palm.The man's face paled, and he quickly shouted, "Stop! I admit it! We k
Time slowly passed.Three hours later, a muffled sound resonated as the energy in Chase's body surged dramatically. His cultivation had advanced to the next stage of the martial monarch realm, and his vitality was brimming with unmatched strength."I've finally reached this stage of the martial monarch realm!"He exhaled deeply and stood up.After stabilizing his current progress, he resumed alchemy, intending to take advantage of his momentum to refine three more Spirit Gathering Pills.Half an hour later, the pills were complete.Chase swallowed one without hesitation. A surge of potent medicinal energy coursed through his body, refining his flesh and bones.A guttural growl escaped him as his pores opened, expelling impurities from his body like a coiling serpent. As time went on, the energy around Chase gradually stabilized, and his complexion regained its healthy glow."Phew... It's finally done," Chase murmured in relief. He then carefully stored the remaining two pills.
"The rarer the spiritual herb, the greater its potency. For refining a Spirit Gathering Pill, the primary ingredient is the Three-Striped Purple Sun Herb. In addition to that, six supplementary herbs are needed. If I gather them all, it should be enough," Chase mused before forming a plan."My body has been tempered to a considerable degree. Refining a batch of Spirit Gathering Pills shouldn't pose much of a problem," he said with a confident smile.'Alchemy is indeed effective, but the mental energy it consumes is enormous. At my current state, I can refine, at most, five pills a day. Still, even five Spirit Gathering Pills a day is an incredible fortune,' Chase thought with satisfaction.With that in mind, he sat cross-legged, retrieved his pill furnace and the required herbs, and followed the instructions in the Emperor's Alchemy Codex to begin refining.Everything went smoothly.In just a short while, a perfectly round and glistening Spirit Gathering Pill was produced."This
Moments later, silence settled over the area.Chase rose from the ground and dusted himself off."Huh? Did I just break through?"He suddenly realized that his strength had increased yet again. The sensation was peculiar but unmistakable—his cultivation had advanced to another level.'No matter. I need to leave first,' he thought.Chase turned and began to walk away. Just as he was about to leave, he stopped abruptly."Hmm?" His brows furrowed together as he detected an unusual fluctuation in the surrounding energy. He paused, tilting his head and focusing his senses.After a moment, he opened his eyes and smirked coldly. Through his heightened perception, he had noticed someone—a small fry—spying on him."Haha, you little brat, I've finally caught you!"A sinister laugh echoed, and a man dressed in black battle attire emerged. His expression was twisted with rage.Meanwhile, his eyes locked onto Chase, and they were brimming with killing intent."You killed my senior, Kit L
