Everyone witnessed Bob stumbling a few steps back after the smoke and dust dissipated. Chase was still standing in the same spot with a hand behind his back. He did not move at all.“Did Bob Farley just suffer a hit?”“How is that possible…”All martial artists present stood up in shock. There was a stunned look on all their faces.Bob was a peak meridian-opening master, but Chase was able to hold his own against Bob and even got the upper hand. That proved Chase was more powerful than Bob was.He steadied himself with an extremely upset look on his face. “You have quite a hand. It’s no wonder you act so arrogantly.”Bob suddenly broke into a wide smile. “I now announce the end of this warm-up session. Your luck ends here!“Now, let me give you a taste of the most powerful martial arts technique my master has passed down to me!”He roared, and the vigorous energy around him began to move fluidly. His physique immediately heightened five more feet into the air. His clothes wer
“It’s my turn to attack!”Chase’s demeanor changed the moment he said this.He was no longer the young man who kept his powers hidden. He now looked like an emperor looking down at his subjects whose lives were in his hands.Everything looked small under his gaze. His towering finger stood proud and tall under the starry sky.It looked like Chase was the most powerful man under the sky!Even Bob was intimidated by Chase to the extent that he subconsciously wanted to bow down to Chase.Chase took a step forward and said, “My intention is to slice you with a sword!”He used his finger as a blade and sliced hard through the air.A bright flash appeared shockingly from his finger, and it flew straight in Bob's direction.The flash was about ten feet long, and it broke the ground in half. It was a clean cut as the ground was smooth and flat. It looked like he was slicing a vegetable.“My gosh, what’s that?”“Was it caused by some impact?”The people below the stage were still re
The world became silent so silent that everyone could hear a pin drop.Everyone’s gaze was focused on the proud figure standing in the arena.That figure stood tall like an emperor who held power over all the lands. It was a simple figure, but it was powerful enough to earn everyone’s respect.This recognition made everyone feel agitated.Most of them had thought that Chase would not be Bob’s match. He was too young, after all.However, the arrogant Bob had died in Chase's hands, and he had even begged for mercy before he died.What was true power?This was true power!Bianca stared at Chase with infatuation in her eyes.He was such a powerful man!The silence quickly broke with an exclamation, “Wow, Mr. Collins is incredible!”Carol, who was below the stage, gently patted her voluptuous bosom. Her cheeks were red, and she looked agitated.Vinny, Edward, and the others sitting next to her were all silent.They were now looking at Chase with shock, incredulity, respect, but
Chase stood alone in the arena with a stoic expression. “Clear the scene, Mr. Cooper.”“Yes, Master Collins!”William understood his intentions. He quickly turned to everyone below the stage. “Besides the five elite families, everyone else should leave.”The place was soon empty. Even Vinny, Edward, and the others were gone.Only Chase and the five elite families were left in the stadium.John seemed to notice something. He quivered violently and coughed up a lot of blood.“The Harrigans…”Chase walked down from the arena and approached the Harrigans slowly. “I bet you never dreamed this was how you would end.”Every Harrigan but John was kneeling and begging for mercy.John knew that their reign was over and roared in resentment, “You bastard! What I regret most is not cleaning up that mess better all those years ago. I should've made sure that you burned to death. The Harrigans wouldn’t have ended up this way if it wasn’t for you.”“Are you sure about that?”A cold look fl
However, all three of them were now lowering their heads at Chase and treating him with utmost respect.Chase said without beating about the bush, “I only have one request for the Norrises, and that is for Quinn to continue leading the family. You need to assist her in every way you can. Do you have any problems with that?”“No, no, we don’t.” All three of them quickly shook their heads in fear of Chase misunderstanding them.Reginald said with great caution, “Don’t worry, Master Collins. We’ll hold a family meeting after we get back to nominate Quinn as the matriarch of the Norrises.”“Very good. No one in South City City will dare touch the Norrises,” Chase said as he nodded. One sentence from him was enough for Reginald and his brothers to get emotional.A subordinate of the Coopers in charge of watching the doors came over and said respectfully, “There are four people out there asking to see you, Mr. Collins. The one leading them is a man called Edward Wright.”“It’s them?” C
“Our CEO’s name is Chase Collins.”Sandy was slightly taken aback and glanced at Quinn in surprise. “Both of you lived together for quite a while. Didn’t he tell you that he's the CEO of La Fleur?”She said this clearly.Quinn’s mind began buzzing from Sandy’s words. She looked like she was in a daze as she stayed silent for a long time.It took her so long to realize this. Chase was Mr. Collins, the CEO of La Fleur. To think that she had tried every way she could to meet him before this.In the end, it was the man she had looked down on so many times who had saved her by approving the two billion investment.Quinn suddenly remembered something, and she turned pale from the memory.Chase had told her before that he was the CEO of La Fleur.However, both she and Elaine did not believe him. They even made fun of him for making such a brag.Quinn suddenly felt horrible about this. She was so embarrassed that she wished the ground could just swallow her.When Sandy saw her lookin
The Harrigans immediately got every subordinate working under them to return to the residence and protect the Harrigans. They were afraid of Chase barging in again.All of the Harrigans had gathered in the meeting room.A woman burst out asking, “John, Master Collins wants us to be at Mount General Cemetery in three days to kneel to the dead and ask for their forgiveness. What… What should we do now?”She was John’s younger sister, the fifth in the family. Her name was Wendy Harrigan.Every member of the Harrigan family was looking fearfully at John.Someone helped John up, and he stared back at them with a swollen face as he said, “Contact the Supreme Elder immediately. Make a request for him to return to the country and help the Harrigans.“That little bastard will be dead once the Supreme Elder returns. The Coopers and every other family on their side will all die!"John said this savagely with a crazed look on his face.Someone asked cautiously, “Mr. John, what… if the Supr
“Who could it be?” Chase frowned.“You’ll find out when you see her,” Kim Mayson said.Chase looked around and suddenly sniggered. “What if I refuse?”Dozens of dark figures appeared instantly all around him. They were all in masks, and they were pointing their guns at Chase.“What is this? Are you trying to kidnap me?” Chase was unperturbed as he said with one hand behind his back.Kim frowned and roared, “What are all of you doing? How dare you act so impudently toward Mr. Collins! Back away, right now!”Everyone retreated from the shock of the true energy reverberating from her order.Peak inner strength!Chase looked at her thoughtfully.Kim looked to be in her 40s. A woman like her had actually achieved peak inner strength.Chase suddenly developed an interest in meeting the person she wanted to take him to. “Show me the way.”She soon led Chase to a private mansion.Chase had just stepped inside when several snipers aimed at him from the dark.“I can’t believe there
The man was only at stage three, where each punch possessed a weight of 30,000 pounds.Besides that, as the Nefarious Deity Sect's signature fist technique, it possessed the Nefarious Deity Energy. It could invade the opponent's spirit and soul upon contact.It was also the perfect complement to the Nine Mirage Ecstasy.However, Chase seemed completely unaffected. He seemed to have managed to defend himself against that punch.The middle-aged man knew that he had lost all opportunity at survival when he failed to hurt Chase with the punch. He quickly maneuvered to defensive mode. Black smoke billowed from his body and formed into a protective armor around him."Nothing but a party trick!"Chase checked himself for any injuries caused by the man.Thirty thousand pounds worth of strength was nothing but a drizzle to him.As for the Nefarious Deity Energy and harm that came with it, Chase was now able to withstand the evil power after using the Thunderfruit Core to strengthen his
The middle-aged man was scared speechless after witnessing Chase brutally kill the muscled man. He kneeled right away to beg for his life."Please let me off! I still have Mirage Dragon Tiger Pill that's perfect for martial nirvanas to refine their physiques. It's what you need right now."Mirage Dragon Tiger Pill?Chase frowned. He was aware that normal monsters and medical herbs did not have much effect on martial nirvanas who were also body refining cultivators.He knew that a Steel Dragon Tiger Pill was a unique profound-grade pill that was refined with an exclusive method that combined the Steel Technique with ingredients such as a dragon or tiger monster's inner core, dragon and tiger bones, and other rare supplements. It was refined using a special flame and required 49 days to complete. It could enhance one's physique tremendously.However, what was a Mirage Dragon Tiger Pill?"What's the difference between your Mirage Dragon Tiger Pill and the Steel Dragon Tiger Pill?" C
There might only be a difference of one word between martial gods and martial nirvanas, but both were totally different concepts."Cut the crap! I'll show you the holy technique of the Nefarious Deity Sect!"The muscled man suddenly put his hands together, and a ghostly wail was heard echoing in the air. A savage spirit appeared. It was holding a rusty, iron sword in its hand. It was filled with a murderous rage as it lunged at Chase."Possession Technique?" Chase's eyes narrowed. He was not a stranger to such unorthodox techniques. He had even fought numerous people using such techniques."Die!" the man roared as he controlled the spirit. A black sword flash tore through the air as a chilling glint came slashing at Chase."That's nothing." Chase shook his head and flung out a silver needle.The silver needle shot through the air and went between the eyes of the spirit. Blood splattered instantly as the spirit's massive body evaporated. It formed into a wisp of green smoke and va
Chase had not gone far when he heard a furious roar. A dark figure lunged right at him for the kill.It was a ferocious black wolf that had fur as dark as ink and extremely sharp teeth."How dare a mere stage-four martial nirvana monster ambush me?" Chase grunted coldly and moved his arm. A bronze saber appeared in the air, and a slash was heard. Just like that, the wolf was sliced into two.The wolf was left with half a body. Its soul appeared from the other side of its body, and it vanished instantly."Huh? It still managed to escape?!" Chase frowned. The look on his face suddenly changed as he ran toward the valley.A loud explosion was suddenly heard. It was as deafening as an avalanche.He saw a mushroom-shaped cloud of smoke appear in the air as stone and dust flew about. Numerous trees collapsed while bushes were flattened."Haha! I've finally caught you, you rat!" A sinister laugh was heard. A muscled man in armor walked out as he stared at Chase coldly. He had a huge bu
The blade contained powerful sword intent, and it sliced open a horrible wound on the Black Iron Demon Crocodile's belly. Blood gushed out from it.The crocodile roared furiously as it struggled. However, it could not escape as the blade had cut its veins, which immobilized it.Chase exhaled. He went forward and kicked the crocodile's head.A series of crisp cracks were heard before the crocodile ended up in a pool of blood. It was a horrifying sight.It was a martial nirvana beast, and even though it had been seriously hurt, it could still move. Chase did not dare waste any time. He took out some rope he had prepared earlier and wrung it around the crocodile's neck. He dragged it out of the underground palace."This Black Iron Demon Crocodile's body is massive. It must've consumed the blood essence of many human martial artists. I wonder what other surprises it has for me."Chase chuckled as he prepared to leave.However, that was when Chase paused in his footsteps and suddenly
The sinister and moist aura became stronger. Chase could even detect the rotting stench of dead bodies in the aura."Could there be more than one dead body buried in this place?" Chase contemplated this, but it did not bother him too much as victory was the only thing crucial to him.He leaped into the dark. Chase would come to some crossroads along the way, but he chose to keep going straight. The path led him underground.He had stepped into the tunnel for less than 15 minutes when he caught the sound of fighting. It did not come from outside but from below.He was puzzled and quietly snuck over.There was a loud bang, which was followed by the clanging of weapons.A massive dark shadow was on all fours in the middle of the underground palace covered in rubble. It had four limbs and a huge head. It had terrifying teeth and sharp claws while its back was covered with dark scales.It was crouching, and its red eyes looked vicious and violent. It could lunge forward and eat some
"Damn it!"Chase was enraged. He growled while madly absorbing the pure vitality and heaven and earth's spiritual energy from all around him.He sat down with great pain. He put his hands together to guide the vitality to condense it into lightning form.Purple lightning struck suddenly, tearing through the air and wrapping around the golden light.Chase's forehead was covered in sweat, and his entire body stiffened."This thing is tough to deal with. Why is it so hard to absorb it?" Chase clenched his teeth. The golden light contained incredibly powerful energy."I don't believe that you can take this."There was a cold look in Chase's eye. Thick veins throbbed all over him while limitless energy poured from within his body and into his hands. The energy gathered in his arms.The Might of Thunder and Lightning was an extremely powerful attack technique that was unbeatable.Chase was relieved to see the lightning and light vanish. Even though this was a powerful move, it exhau
"It's a voodoo bug!"The look on Chase's face changed. He instantly realized what it was and quickly waved his arms to release a raging wave of strength that caused numerous trees around him to fall.A swarm of green bugs, with each the size of a thumb, emerged in hordes. They were like swarms of locusts that filled up every space in the air.Massive sword flashes instantly sliced through them, and the bugs were crushed to dust. However, Chase had disturbed other ferocious beasts laying low in the forest with this move.In an instant, piercing howls were heard.Various beasts and birds came lunging at him.Chase's expression turned dark. He formed into a shadow fragment as he dodged the attack of these animals.He did not choose to escape because he could sense many wild dark beasts in this area.Chase had to get used to being in battle mode.That was the only way he was able to get into the rhythm of fighting the enemy while slowly training himself to uncover a combat techniq
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
