“If you do this again, I’ll kill you!”Chase’s statement stunned Edward and the group.Anna covered her mouth. She wanted to threaten him, but in the end, she did not dare to say anything. It was because Chase did not sound like he was joking. The consequences would be dire if she angered him.Vinny was not scared of Chase, but he did not want to cause a scene. He just said, “I’ll remember you!”Chase ignored them and turned to Carol. “Are you okay?”“I’m fine.” Carol wiped away her tears and shook her headAt this moment, the people at the scene suddenly started clamoring.“Look, Mayor Triton is here!”“Not only that, the richest man in Dark Cloud Town is also here.”Everyone hurriedly looked up and saw two groups of people walking out of two separate tunnels.On the left was Steve, the mayor of Dark Cloud Town. Behind him were John and others.On the right was Cash, the richest man in Dark Cloud Town. He was followed by William, Bianca, and others.“That's strange. Mayo
Chase was stunned. He did not expect that Vinny would suddenly mention him.“Master Collins?”Only Edward’s expression changed, and he suddenly exclaimed, “You mean the one who was recently rumored to have killed a martial artist with one punch and was also able to control thunder?”Edward’s father was the owner of Triumph Hotel, so he would often entertain many big shots in South River City. Therefore, he had also heard the rumors about Master Collins.“That’s right.”Vinny smiled contemptuously and said, “My master is here to deal with him this time.”“Vinny, I heard that Master Collins can control thunder. Can Master Rock defeat him?” Edward asked with disbelief.“Control thunder?”Vinny scoffed disdainfully. “Those are just rumors. How can a mortal have the power to control thunder?”“That’s what I thought.” Edward nodded in agreement and complimented, “Vinny, we'll make sure to witness how brave Master Rock is in a while.”“Sure, it’s a blessing to be able to see my mast
Norman opened his eyes slowly and said, “Don’t worry, John. Everything will be fine with me around.”“That’s good. Go ahead,” John said, hardly suppressing his excitement.Everyone thought Norman would go onto the arena in a cool way. He put his hands behind his back and walked slowly to the arena. He did not show any skills at all.The crowd, including Edward and his group, let out disappointed sounds.When Vinny saw this, he awkwardly explained, “My master has always kept a low profile.”“I get it. After all, he’s an expert. He sees no need to put on performative displays,” Edward quickly said.“That’s right. The more he acts that way, the more we'll think Master Rock is enigmatic and impossible to predict. That other guy in the arena can’t compare to Master Rock," Raymond and Anna chimed in too.Eventually, Vinny felt better.He peered at Chase coldly and said coldly, “Kid, watch closely. Watch how powerful my master is.”“I’m watching,” Chase said in amusement.Vinny huff
Carter’s punch broke Norman's teeth, causing Norman to spit out his blood and his teeth.When Carter was about to punch for the third time, Norman fell to his knees and pleaded, “Stop punching me! I admit defeat.”Immediately, the crowd plunged into silence.Everyone was looking at the scene in the arena with stunned looks on their faces.Vinny, Edward, and the group were also petrified.Was that the famous Master Rock? Was he truly that weak?Carter reached out to grab Norman's wrist and scolded him, “You don’t know martial arts at all! It’s such a pity that I used to admire you so much.”“You’re right, I don’t know martial arts.” Norman could not pretend anymore and came clean. “I… The reason I got so popular was because I hired people to put on an act.”After he said that, the audience inhaled sharply. They all thought they had heard him wrongly.After all that, this alleged master was actually just an actor.At that moment, the jaws of Edward, Raymond, and Anna dropped.
Master Farley?When the audience saw what the Harrigans did, they all turned their heads to the entrance of the stadium.A middle-aged man in a black outfit and cloth shoes had appeared unbeknownst to them.The man was like an ancient tree. He did not exude any vital energy and looked very ordinary.However, a lot of the martial artists’ pupils contracted when they looked at each other.They had no idea when this man appeared.As martial artists, they should be very sensitive to the fluctuations of vital energy. By right, nothing should escape them.However, the middle-aged man seemed to appear out of thin air, so it was a huge shock to them.He was a master!A true master!“Hmm?”A hint of shock appeared in Chase’s eyes when his gaze landed on the middle-aged man.This was the first time he met a true master after he came out.While everyone was watching, the middle-aged man put his hands behind his back and took a step forward. In the blink of an eye, he teleported five
The Supreme Elder of the Harrigans? The look on William’s face changed.He had an impression of the Harrigans having a Supreme Elder, but that man had been gone for many years to travel the world and cultivate. News of him was rare.Most people, including William, had thought he had gone off to live the life of a priest.William did not expect him to have nurtured such a formidable disciple!Bob flashed an intimidating look at him and said, “I heard that the Coopers were recently associated with a Master Collins. It’s because of him that the Coopers are able to exert pressure on the Harrigans and even kill my junior, Tony.“Sir, the Coopers have never done anything to oppress the Harrigans. As for your junior’s death…” William’s eye twitched as he tried to explain.Bob chuckled and interrupted him. “I don’t care about the grudge between you. I’m giving the Coopers a chance right now. Hand over Master Collins and pledge your loyalty to the Harrigans. Do that, and I’ll spare you
Vinny was shocked to see Chase standing up. He burst out saying, “What are you doing? They’re asking for Master Collins, who's helping the Coopers. Not you!”“I am Master Collins.” Chase smiled calmly and started to walk up the stage.“Is there something wrong with him, Edward? He really believes he’s Master Collins,” Anna and Raymond said, wide-eyed.Edward was shocked as well. However, he later sniggered.Chase must have suffered a hard blow to the head to think that he would be able to pull off pretending to be Master Collins!Who did he think Master Collins was? He was someone whom the Coopers pledged allegiance to and a man whom the Harrigans feared.Rumor had it that he was not only a martial genius, but he could also control thunder and lightning. He was no different than God.Chase was just an ignorant young man. He could never attain such achievements even if he started training since he was in his mother’s womb.Carol tugged at the corner of Chase’s shirt. Her pretty
“I’ve cultivated my entire life to achieve only inner strength. How am I supposed to save him?”Amos sighed.Ann was in despair.She had no idea what to tell Quinn if anything happened to Chase. She would have to live with this guilt.In the seats not far from the arena was a middle-aged man in a suit. He pointed at Chase and exclaimed, “Reggie, look at that guy. Isn’t he Chase Collins?”The two men next to him quickly looked up with incredulous looks on their faces.“It really is him. Is he crazy?”“I heard that Quinn had an argument with him. Is he trying to kill himself because he’s depressed about it?” Those three men were Quinn’s Uncle Reggie and other core Norris family members.Meanwhile, in the Harrigans’ seats, John was staring at Chase.Could this young man really be Master Collins?Those who had seen Chase before said, “Mr. John, isn’t that Chase Collins, the person who had an argument with Mr. Huey?” “Are you sure?” John’s face fell.“It’s definitely him.”“
Although there was no physical damage, the soul damage was very real. It was exactly that soul damage that allowed Chase to subdue Walter."Master, has the soul damage on your Greedy Wolf increased again?" Walter asked.Soul damage? How could a blade cause soul damage?Willow and Cyril were both stunned.With their current strength, neither of them had experienced it directly and had no idea that Greedy Wolf had already awakened a spirit—specifically, a star spirit aligned with slaughter.Hearing Walter's question, Chase suddenly recalled that the spirit within Greedy Wolf—Silly Husky—possessed astonishingly strong soul power.When they first met, it had disguised itself as a deadly blade spirit, radiating a terrifying killing intent that had completely fooled Chase.Fortunately, his own soul was resilient enough not to be tricked. He had eventually seen through Silly Husky's bluffing and recognized it as more bark than bite.Now, Chase wondered if Dominic could have been affec
Being the only one who had previously faced Chase's Greedy Wolf, Stone stood frozen in disbelief.He had always believed that as a stage-nine martial god, the gap between himself and Dominic, a peak martial god and an elder of the Nefarious Deity Sect, was merely half a step. Yet now, he had witnessed something that shattered his assumptions.His most powerful dark beast, the Crimson-Scaled Nether Serpent, was electrocuted to death in an instant. Then, even when he gave it everything he had and struck with Greedy Wolf, he still ended up at a disadvantage.Meanwhile, Dominic had taken on Chase's full three-pronged assault—including a direct strike from Greedy Wolf—with nothing but his bare skull and stood his ground.It was at that moment that Stone finally understood. The gap between him and Dominic was far larger than he had ever imagined.There was simply no comparison.He and Cherry had once considered challenging for the Supreme Elder title at the sect's year-end assembly, ho
This should be easy enough!"You brat! Dying at my hands is your greatest honor. Save your breath!" Dominic shouted as he launched the Nine Nefarious Holy Fist.His body swelled in size, his shirt bursting open to reveal muscles that were as hard as stone. They gleamed under the morning sun. The sight left Willow and Walter utterly stunned.An opponent who exploded out of his shirt right at the start? That was rare enough. However, to see a Supreme Elder doing it against a junior… Was this not a bit overkill?Facing him directly, Chase wore a serious expression. His consciousness detected an overwhelming vitality radiating from Dominic, so dense it even suppressed the aura of killing intent.After easily defeating Stone earlier, Chase's impression of the Nefarious Deity Sect had dropped a notch. He had thought that after so many rounds of body refinement and reinforcement by the Dark and Light Emerald Lotus, his physical strength should be at the top tier.Yet this Dominic, the s
The answer soon revealed itself.A sizzling noise rang out as the Crimson-Scaled Nether Serpent lunged at Chase with its jaws wide open, clearly intending to end his life in one bite.It thought to itself smugly, 'This fool is too slow. He's dead for sure.'However, to everyone's surprise, the serpent suddenly spasmed mid-air. Electric arcs danced across its scales as smoke began to rise from its body. Twitching uncontrollably, it looked like it had been struck by lightning. It fell straight to the ground like a thick rope within seconds, utterly limp.Stone stood there, dumbfounded.He had not expected his Crimson-Scaled Nether Serpent to be defeated so quickly. Sensing that the serpent was now truly and completely dead, his eyes flared with rage.Chase actually dared to kill his dark beast?!His expression turned grim. Black energy spirit surged from his body, and the demon-headed broadsword on his back gleamed with a menacing red light, eager to be unleashed. Even those nearb
Over the years, after being backstabbed by Ricky more times than he could count, Dominic had come to understand that when facing an unknown enemy, it was best to bide one's time and act cautiously."Stone, go test his strength," he ordered."Yes, sir," Stone replied.Dressed in a black robe, Stone rarely spoke, but his towering frame—nearly six foot five inches tall—and the massive demon-headed broadsword strapped to his back made it clear to anyone that he was not someone to mess with.Of course, there was no record of this person in Cyril's sect's registry either. The moment Cyril laid eyes on him, he knew this newcomer was a powerful force.He even considered warning Chase and the others to flee. However, seeing Chase step forward without the slightest hint of fear, he immediately understood that these people who were not listed must have come from a higher realm. He then silently shifted closer to Willow and Walter."Go ahead," Chase said calmly.Though his voice was not l
"I was originally at the martial god level, but after arriving in this world, my strength was suppressed down to martial monarch," Chase explained calmly."So... you came from a world where there's a higher realm?" Cyril was utterly shocked. The events of today had truly broadened his horizons.First, he was betrayed by a fellow outer disciple, then rescued by a stranger, who turned out to be a martial god!"You could say that," Chase replied, not willing to elaborate. After all, this world was only the third level of the Dark and Light Mineral Ore.Whether it was an illusion or a real world created by the Light Divine Pearl, no one could be sure. Everything would have to wait until they reached the ninth level of the defensive formation.Just then, a roaring sound came from the sky. They looked up to see three armed helicopters circling overhead."This is the ground unit. You're surrounded. Raise your hands and surrender immediately, or else—"Before the voice could finish, Cha
After carefully studying the appearances of the three, Cyril sifted through his memory.Before descending the mountain, his nine mentors had compiled a list of the strongest individuals in the current world. It included rankings in combat ability, strategy, physical strength, medical skill, and other crucial categories—listing the top 300 names.Yet he could not find any entry that matched these three people standing before him.That puzzled him greatly. Based on the data his mentors gave him, they had basically covered every top-tier power in the world. For these three to be so powerful and yet completely unrecorded… was hard to believe.After a moment of hesitation, he spoke solemnly. "I'm Cyril Stent, a disciple of the Miracle Doctor Sect. I came down the mountain on my mentors' orders."I didn't expect to run into this mess and drag you all into danger. I truly apologize. As the saying goes, each kind deed should be repaid. If you ever run into any trouble in the future, just
"Alright, go ahead," Chase said, noticing Willow's eagerness.After all, throughout their journey, she had spent most of her time being a burden. She probably felt bad about it.Now that she finally had a chance to contribute, of course, she wanted to prove herself—not just to them but to herself. What she did not know was that Chase was also highly skilled in medicine.Willow activated her cultivation technique, her eyes glowing violet. This was the Purple Shadow Divine Eyes, a secret technique from the Evil Shadow Sect's Great Impermanence Mystical Shadow Technique.It allowed her to perceive the flow of various extraordinary energies—vital energy, spiritual energy, sick energy, vitality, ghost energy, and more.At this moment, within her field of vision, Cyril's meridians appeared as clearly as if under an X-ray.She suddenly cried out, shutting her eyes tightly as if they were being scorched."What's wrong?" Walter and Chase asked at the same time.Chase quickly focused h
This thing… Was it not the Nine-Sea Giant Squid?Had it reincarnated?What mattered more was that Chase was currently only at the martial monarch level. Now that they were inside a plane, if things escalated even a little, the aircraft would definitely explode. Yet on the other hand, their flying abilities were restricted at the moment, so they were essentially just waiting to die.Chase immediately found himself in a dilemma.While he hesitated, Klondike—also known as the Nine-Sea Giant Squid—extended three or four more tentacles, wrapping them tightly around Cyril. It looked like it was about to stuff him into its mouth. There was no choice. Chase had to go all in.Chase activated the Passive Concentration Technique. On one hand, it hid his spiritual presence from detection, and on the other, it launched a direct soul attack against Mia's group and the Nine-Sea Giant Squid.Then, Greedy Wolf struck.Now that he had reached the martial monarch realm, Chase could control it wi
