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
Quinn blurted out his name because he was the only one she knew who was a Collins.Realization dawned on Mandy as she said, “You’re right. Why didn’t I think of him?”“Mandy, are you saying that Chase is Master Collins?” Quinn asked.“It might not be him. I’m saying that it might be possible that it could be him. Regardless, he’s someone we should be looking into.”Mandy shook her head and said, “By the way, where is he? Take me to see him.”“I… I have no idea where he is either…” The look in Quinn’s eyes dimmed as she slowly explained to Mandy about her situation with Chase.Mandy frowned after listening to her. “Are you telling me that he was gone during the deaths of Caleb and Huey Harrigan?”“I… I think so.”“That would make him the biggest suspect. Hurry up and contact your friend. Maybe she knows where he is.”Mandy could not wait any longer as she pushed Quinn to make the call. She felt that she was getting closer to the truth.Quinn picked up her phone and gave it som
Bianca suddenly smiled and glanced at Chase, who was about ten steps away from her.The next moment, she yelled out daintily and took a step forward to punch Chase.She was wearing high heels and stumbled as she ran. She looked quite comical.Chase shook his head in exasperation.How smart she was to be wearing high heels to train.As expected, Bianca tripped when she got near to Chase. She fell right onto him.“Are you alright?” Chase held her around the waist in reflex. He was afraid that she would expose herself if she fell.“Urm… My feet hurt…” Bianca said painfully.Chase looked down and realized that her high heel had broken. She must have broken it when she ran.“Can you stand?” Chase asked.“No, I can’t. It really hurts…” Bianca tried to stand up but felt a sharp pain. She fell into Chase’s arms again.The next moment, her face flushed red.They were in an awkwardly intimate position.Moreover, they were very near each other, and she caught a whiff of the nice scen
"What has this got anything to do with me?"Chase could not understand the woman in front of him. Why would she say all these in the arena?"Before that, allow me to share a secret with you. The male and female phoenixes were supposed to be one."Chase was about to say something when Yara interrupted him, "The Rising of the Phoenix is not only about enhancing power after rebirth; it's a process of a male turning into a female and vice versa."But since the Dragon and Phoenix Calamity, the Phoenix Deity is the only Phoenix Demon Saint left, and he lost his power from the Rising to switch genders. He's unable to recover to his original power as well."However, he predicted that someone would be able to break him out of his suffering while wading in the river of fate."Yara looked into Chase's eyes with a smile."Is that person… me?"Anyone could tell the answer at this point.Chase was aware of what Yara was trying to tell him, but he still found it unbelievable when he asked the
Chase was the only person qualified to judge if there was murderous intent as he was the opponent in the arena.When Yara played the flute, it sounded like a beautiful melody from above the Ninth Heaven at first. If one listened closely, one could identify the vague signs of murderous intent.Chase scoffed at this. He thought it to be childish for one to hide murderous intent that way.He did not know music at all, but even he could tell what Yara was doing. Yara was looking down on him by doing this.When Chase was about to make his move, he was suddenly pulled into an illusion by the opponent. Chase was on a floating cloud above the Ninth Heaven in the illusion. It was just as Carla had said.He was initially flustered. How was he going to defend himself against the next killing move with such a powerful technique?While he was gathering all the vital energy within him, a sweet, melodious voice was heard. "Please don't retaliate, Mr. Collins. I bear no ill will."A tall, slen
"History scrolls don't really help with my cultivation. They make me drowsy every time, so I don't read them," Ford continued explaining without holding back. It did not seem wrong to him.However, his words made an impression on those listening.Ford was able to pick up the dragon clan's mystical techniques after reading them once. He even claimed it was not necessary to read them a second time. Was he even human? Oh, wait. He was a dragon. Tiana stared at him, not knowing what to say next.The Saintess of Emerald Lake Holy Land had not only fought with her talents yesterday but also with her hard work.When Tiana first entered Emerald Lake Holy Land, her master told her that her talents were upper-middle at best. She was considered extremely lucky to be accepted to the sect.Emerald Lake Holy Land was one of the top five sects in this world. It was second only to Sky Dragon Holy Land among the Four Holy Lands. Every disciple was the cream of the crop.Tiana grabbed attention t
Yara placed his flute to his lips and warned Chase, "I'll be making my move, Mr. Collins.""Please go ahead." Chase waved his hand casually and indicated for Yara to go ahead.It was the third round, and everyone at this stage was not to be underestimated. A powerhouse with a musical instrument for a weapon was rare. Chase looked forward to exchanging hands with him.The melodious sound of the flute was soon heard. All of the spectators could feel the atmosphere become more relaxed."Why is this Musical Technique non-lethal?""This can't be right. How did Yara Fries get into the third round? There's nothing formidable about this piece of music.""Is there anyone here who can explain?""He used his flute as a weapon in the previous rounds and knocked out his opponents with a couple of moves. He didn't play any music then.""Is he giving leeway to the opponent?""Could he be hinting at the opponent with his music that they're soulmates? They might end up being taken with each oth
As Clive had gained quite a lot, he decided to let it be. He allowed himself to let go of things. However, that being's consciousness began to open up to Clive, and that was when Clive realized how powerful the being was.It was one against the 12 Primal Treasures, and the universe was its target. It had existed for millions of years. The result of allowing it to take over was Clive losing complete control of his body. It was a projected image that vanished after Chase defeated it.However, Clive's body had been modified by it, and Clive's mind and soul were unable to control his own body. This was what had caused Clive to look like he was in a daze right after the match.Rania then used a mystical technique to transmit her cultivation and combine the powers of both parties. It triggered a lost talent within Clive that merged all of the swordsmanship he cultivated to form an unknown sword form that had never been seen before.Clive felt like he had been revived.He looked at the Ni
Inside the halved corpse, faint outlines of Rania and the coachman's bodies could be seen. They were twisted and contorted.Foul-smelling digestive fluid bubbled and hissed, corroding their bodies.Rania appeared to retain a shred of consciousness. "Cli... Clive... Clive... Help me... Save..."Her voice was faint, tremulous, and laced with sorrow. It stirred pity in the heart.In truth, even before she had spoken, Clive had already detected her presence through his spiritual consciousness. He raised his sword. His face was tormented as if he wanted to put a swift end to things. Yet in the end, he let out a long sigh and released a surge of true essence, pulling both the coachman and Rania from River's corpse.The coachman's cultivation was far too low, and his clothes were made of ordinary fabric. They offered no resistance to the corrosive and toxic digestive acid inside River's body.Half of his body was already unrecognizable, with the bones and internal organs exposed. His b
"Pathetic."The Nine-Sea Giant Squid that River had transformed into spoke with a human voice, then opened its gaping maw and swallowed her whole.The coachman, who had leaped off the horse the moment River transformed, scrambled and sprinted away. He was already dozens of feet out.Just then, a dark blur flashed past, and one of River's tentacles shot forward at incredible speed, snatching him back and devouring him in a single gulp as well."Disgusting. That woman tasted better," he muttered while slithering toward the carriage on his tentacles.Suddenly, an explosion echoed from within his belly, and faint glimmers of light shone through the surface of his body."That woman's protective artifact is so weak. Looks like she wasn't treated well in the Norths, after all."River examined himself carefully and found that it was indeed Rania's protective talisman that had just detonated. Yet his body remained largely unharmed. With some minor healing over ten days to half a month, he
Outside Light Divine City, Rania sat inside a carriage with Clive."Clive, say something, will you? You staying silent like this is really worrying me," she said while wiping the sweat from Clive's forehead and letting out a sigh.As a collateral descendant of the Norths, Rania's life had never been particularly easy. She had thought she had finally snagged a golden opportunity with Clive, only for him to fall into a daze after just one match.What was she supposed to do now?Everyone had witnessed their behavior during the tournament. Though some might look down on them, they would undoubtedly see the two of them as a pair by now.If she abandoned Clive at this point, she would surely be labeled a heartless woman.Just then, the carriage came to a halt. They had only left the city less than an hour ago and were still far from Universal Holy Land. Was someone blocking the road? Rania frowned and lifted the curtain.Sure enough, there was someone standing in the way.She looked c
Even though the match had ended, Lisa still could not fully escape the lingering terror.The slimy, wriggling tentacles covered in suction cups and jagged teeth, stretching out toward her… Such images were seared into her mind. The impact had been too great.Though she was a direct descendant of the dragon clan—an authentic ancient lineage and one of the top races in the entire world—she had been completely overpowered then.Normally, her bloodline would exert natural suppression over most others. However, at the time, she was almost crushed by another.She could not even begin to imagine what kind of race could do that."It tried to eat you?" Walter exclaimed in shock.As a great beast himself, he understood just how powerful the dragon clan's pure bloodline was.Even though the incident with the Lightning Dragon kneeling to Chase had dulled some of the mystique around dragons, it remained undeniable that they were a superior bloodline."For a creature to make a dragon feel lik
