Chase began chanting quietly, and the will of the heavens seemed to help him take control of the thunder and lightning.The sky turned dark instantly as strong wind began to gale. Loud rumbles of thunder were heard coming from the skies.Everyone quickly looked up and saw dark clouds forming in the sky. Thunder continued rumbling from the skies.Faced with the majestic intimidation from the heavens, all living beings began to instinctively bend their knees.“Isn’t that the Five-Thunder Technique from the Celestial Master Path? Isn’t this technique lost?“Impossible! This is impossible!”The gleeful look on Einswald's face instantly changed to fear. He turned and ran without hesitation.However, the next thing he knew, five strikes of lightning the width of an arm struck down from the sky. They hit the vicinity of where Einswald and the torturous evil spirits were.The earth moved immediately, and the entire area was bright with the flashes of lightning. Every evil spirit howled
Before Mo had the opportunity to pull the trigger, a small stone flew through the air and pierced through his forehead.“Sir.” Sam broke out in a cold sweat. He almost died. “Let’s go.”Chase shook his head slightly and left with all three people.Not long after they left, thousands of men arrived at the scene to seal it. They also detained everyone who had witnessed the incident.The Coopers and Sam had taken action.Both of South River City’s most powerful people sealed up everything to stop the news from leaking in order to protect Chase.…Back in Nine Dragon Tower, Myra had just hung up the phone and was silent for a long time.“Master Collins is a powerful man. He’s not only formidable when it comes to martial arts cultivation, but he's even proficient in wizardry.”Multiple ideas flashed in her mind before she finally made the decision. “I need someone like that on my side. I'll be able to destroy the Harrigans with his help!”Even though Sam and the Coopers had work
John suddenly roared, “Fletcher!”“M-Mr. John, I… I’m here…” An old butler appeared in trepidation.“Have you found out who Master Collins really is?” John stared at him with red eyes.Fletcher quivered and fell kneeling to the floor. “I… I've failed… you. I still... haven’t… figured out who he really is…”“Why don’t you just die if you know you’re useless?”John smiled pervertedly as he picked up a stool and bashed him up crazily.Fletcher screamed. His voice gradually turned into a whimper, and he was eventually beaten to death.Everyone was afraid of being the next Fletcher.That was when John’s phone rang.He picked it up for a few seconds, and an eerie laugh suddenly erupted from his throat.“Hahaha! The Harrigans are saved. The Supreme Elder’s first disciple is on his way over. He'll arrive tomorrow afternoon!“He said we can begin making plans. Once he arrives, he'll destroy the Coopers and kill Master Collins. After that, we’ll take over South River City!”His words
“As for the wizardry school, ordinary people won’t usually be aware of them. They're the ones who have true abilities.”Chase explained things in detail, “The wizardry school is split further into five branches—Mountain, Medical, Life, Face, and Fortune. This is commonly known as the Five Techniques of Metaphysics. What you know as martial arts medical skills, divination, fortune telling, and location analysis techniques originated from these five branches."All three of them were astonished at this. They had learned something new from Chase’s explanation. It never occurred to them that there was so much knowledge hidden in this concept.Sam asked, “There's something I don’t understand, Sir. Why won’t those in the wizardry school show themselves?”“This question is a little too complicated to answer. You might not understand it even if I explained it to you.”Chase elaborated casually, “Let me put it this way. They can’t show themselves so blatantly to the world because this world
After William left with Bianca, Chase, and Sam went to the homestay where they had settled in Julia.“Watch the door. Don’t allow anyone to enter without my permission.”Chase gave Sam the order before stepping into the homestay.Julia had been staying inside her room. She was still afraid of lights, especially fire.She cowered in a corner the moment Chase turned on the lights. She hid under the covers and trembled as she looked at Chase.Her condition had not improved since the last time he saw her, but her clothes were cleaner than before, and she looked healthier as well.“Don’t be afraid, Miss Julia. It’s me, Little Rocky. I’m here to treat you.”Chase wanted to go to her but was afraid he would scare her. He comforted her patiently.It took some difficulty, but he managed to calm her down. Chase stopped hesitating as he took out the Clear-Headed Talisman and gently flung it at her.At the same time, Chase gently chanted, “Appear!” A strange sight appeared when he said
“Don’t worry, Miss Julia. The Harrigans are about to meet their doom. I won’t let anyone who was involved with the orphanage’s fire get away with it,” Chase promised.Julia choked back a sob and said, “You’re a good boy. I know that you’re quite capable, but you still need to take good care of yourself. You have a long life ahead of you, and you shouldn’t let revenge blind you.“Moreover, I believe your Grandpa Gideon and the others would never want you to endanger yourself.”“Don’t worry, Miss Julia. I can do it.”Chase crouched in front of her as he tried to be on level with her height. He asked again, “By the way, Miss Julia, I found out that my sisters are still alive. Have you any idea where they are?”“I… I have no idea either.” The look in Julia’s eyes turned dim. She shook her head and said, “You were sent away after that fire. The girls and I thought we were dead for sure.“Your Grandpa Gideon reminded us of the dried-up well in the garden at the crucial moment and got u
Inside Room 802 of the Emgrand Hotel, Bernard was excited to see Quinn appear as promised. “I thought you wouldn’t come, Quinn.”“Don’t read too much into this. I’m just here to discuss the medical prescription with you,” Quinn replied. There was a tinge of sorrow deep inside her eyes.Since she had witnessed how intimate Chase and Bianca were, she had been gloomy and feeling sad about it.Quinn was wearing conservative casual clothes. Even then, her clothes were unable to hide her slender figure.“I know, I know.”Bernard nodded. His gaze kept slithering all over her body as his heart burned with lust.Quinn was voluptuous and had a pretty face. She was a great specimen of a woman.There was also a light scent coming from her as she had just taken a bath. Bernard almost lost control of himself.He quickly looked away and put up a gentlemanly demeanor. “Have a seat, Quinn. We can take our time discussing this.”Bernard got up to open up a bottle of wine after Quinn sat down. “
Quinn’s body quivered slightly, and she later became motionless and stiff.Bernard looked at her carefully before asking, “What's your name?”“My name is Quinn Norris,” Quinn replied in a robotic tone.“What do you call me?” Bernard got excited.“Master.”Bernard burst out laughing agitatedly. “I did it. The Supreme Ultimate Conjugation Talisman Master passed down to me really works!”The Supreme Ultimate Conjugation Talisman was also known as the Trance Talisman. It could control a woman to sleep with a man while she was in a blank state.It was better than drugging a woman as she would obey the person who put the talisman on her even though she was paralyzed mentally. In short, she would do whatever the person told her to.This was why Bernard had made the effort to invite Quinn to the hotel.As for the prescription, it was all just his ploy.After the death of Lucas, all he wanted was to sleep with Quinn. He took a plane out of the country overnight.Bernard looked at Qui
"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
