Chase chuckled coldly and questioned, “Why didn’t you tell me when I asked you?”Brad shook under his gaze. “Because I’m also after the Sky Spirit Flower, so I don't want others to know where it is.“Chase, why don’t I tell you where it is and you spare me?”Brad could not care about anything else anymore and started pleading for his life.“Sure,” Chase said.Brad’s hand shook. A second later, he handed a map to Chase. “It’s on the red target on this map.”Chase took it over and took a look. He asked again, “You’re not lying to me again, right?”“I swear! If I lie to you, I'll live a life worse than death. Also, you'll definitely come back and kill me if I lie to you, right? I’m not that dumb.” Brad chuckled bitterly.“You’re pretty smart.”Chase put away the map and left.While he turned around, he released some vigorous energy and chopped off Brad’s right arm.Chase then warned coldly, “This will be a warning for you.”Brad clutched his arm and wailed in pain, almost pass
Now that Chase had healed him, Warren could live for another 20 years. How could he not be excited?“You’re too kind.”Chase shook his head and then looked at Waylon next to him. “Mr. Hayes, thank you for hosting me in Rochester. May I know if you want anything?”He had always believed in repaying kindness and returning enmity. He never wanted to owe anyone anything.“Master Collins, you speak too highly of me. I didn’t do anything much. Moreover, you cured Master Shoal, so I'm already very thankful for you,” Waylon shook his head and said.“Alright, I’ll get going, then,” Chase nodded and said.“Right, Master Collins. You have to watch out for the Gilligans,” Waylon suddenly reminded him.“You killed Jerry, so I’m sure the Gilligans will not be willing to let this rest. They have a true master of martial arts in their family.”“They do?” Chase asked in surprise.“That’s right.”Warren nodded and said, “Outsiders often assume that the Gilligans are merely business magnates, b
Quinn looked at the hustle and bustle of the streets and sighed in relief.Even though the environment was foreign, she could finally relax her tense heart.Her body would shake whenever she recalled the danger she encountered on the way.That woman pretended to be her mother, and after she dragged Quinn to a secluded place, three more strange men emerged.The three wanted to assault Quinn the moment they saw her. After that, they even tried to traffic her to the Northern Mainland.Quinn did not think something as despicable as this would happen in a lawful society.While she struggled, she kicked one of the men in the crotch, which successfully enraged them.In that critical moment, Bianca's bracelet was activated and sent one of the men flying. Then, the man hit the back of his head on a rock and passed out immediately.The others thought the man had died, so they abandoned Quinn to run away.Quinn was horrified as well. She thought she had killed someone, so she called the
Randall Greggs burped before looking around the room. His eyes lit up when he saw Quinn. “That’s a good-looking woman. I like her.“I’m taking her with me. I’ll pay you for her. I have lots of money”“Please have some self-respect, sir,” Brian said while shielding Quinn behind him.Randall slapped Brian and yelled, “Don’t poke your nose into this!”“You…” Brian was about to hit him when three of the man’s subordinates held Brian down.Randall lunged toward Quinn. “I’m coming for you, woman.”“Please have some self-respect. I already have a boyfriend. His name is Chase Collins,” Quinn said as her face turned pale with fright.“To hell with your boyfriend!”Randall smiled with disdain. “I’m your boyfriend from now onward. Dump that whatever Chase Collins you’re talking about. I’m a million times better than him…”He acted arrogantly as he went forward to grab Quinn’s hand.Quinn picked up a bottle and smashed it on his head without hesitating. Blood splattered everywhere.Rand
Waylon quickly appeared with his men the next moment.Melvin quickly pointed at Quinn and said, “Mr. Hayes, that’s Master Collins’ girlfriend.”He glanced coldly at Randall, who was on the ground. “This dirtbag had a little too much to drink and attempted to molest her.”Randall turned white immediately.Waylon took a few steps toward Quinn and asked respectfully, “How should I refer to you, Miss?”“My… My name is Quinn Norris,” Quinn replied.“Don’t worry, Miss Norris. No one would dare touch a single hair on you if you’re Master Collins’ friend.”Waylon nodded before turning to look coldly at Randall. “How dare you, Randall Greggs? How dare you touch the woman of an important guest of mine?”Randall felt an explosion going off in his mind. He was so scared that he peed in his pants. “It’s all a misunderstanding, Mr. Hayes. It’s really just a misunderstanding. I had no idea that she’s the girlfriend of this Master Collins. I wouldn’t have touched her no matter how brazen I was
Little Rocky was still on his own now that they were trying to cure Myra.Quinn was his so-called sister, yet she was so useless. She could not give him any help at all.She held back her tears and said, “Mr. Hayes, you mentioned that he… went to Shantal?”Waylon nodded and said, “That’s right. Master Collins told me before he left that the medical herb he was looking for was in Shantal.”Quinn bit her lip and pleaded, “Mr. Hayes, can I ask for your help?”“Please feel free to tell me what you need, Miss Norris. I’ll do everything in my power to help you,” Waylon said with a smile.“I… I’d like to trouble you to get me a car to take me to… Shantal,” Quinn said with hesitation.Waylon turned silent.It was not because he was not willing to help. He was worried that Quinn would meet with danger while traveling alone. If Chase returned and found out about it, how would Waylon explain this to him?However, he could tell that Quinn was a stubborn woman. If he did not agree to help
The atmosphere was a little gloomy in the rental car on the way to Shantal.The man sitting in the back seat looked at Chase at the front and asked curiously, “Are you going to Shantal for a holiday?”“Sort of. Are you going for a holiday too?” Chase turned back with a smile.Before the man could reply, the woman in the back grunted coldly and said, “We’re not going there for a holiday. We’re there to capture someone.”“Ahem…” The man quickly made a sound to hint at her.The woman realized she had let slip her tongue and glared at Chase. She ignored him after that.Chase knew that they were hiding something, but it did not bother him as long as they were not here for the Sky Spirit Flower.The man was quite chatty and got along very well with Chase.That was how Chase found out their names. The man was called Finn Yardley, and the woman was called Iris Weathers.They were hiding their identities well, but it took only one glance for Chase to know that they were martial artists
“You…” Kevin was infuriated.Even Elena said coldly, “There's no way I'd ever like you, Chase. Just give it up. I helped you out before this because of my cousin.” It was clear that she thought Chase liked her too.“Elena is right. You shouldn’t be aiming so high and courting Elena when you’re not good enough, Collins,” Kevin said with a laugh.He was feeling quite delighted. If Elena was not interested in Chase, it meant that Kevin had a chance.Chase was annoyed by Elena’s words. He looked at her and said, “I’m really curious if all women now are as confident as you are. Do you think every man who comes close to you is interested in you?”Elena grunted coldly and said, “Say whatever you want, you’re still not good enough for me. My man has to be someone legendary like Master Collins.”“Master Collins?” Chase was taken aback.“That’s right!”Elena said with admiration on her face, “Master Collins is like God Himself. A legendary man like him is a true hero. Any woman would l
By the time Chase noticed, a swarm of venomous creatures had gathered around him.Among them were common species like black mambas, golden-ringed snakes, green pit vipers, seven-step vipers, crimson scorpions, and long-tailed centipedes, but mixed in were also rare and deadly breeds such as Nether Vipers and Thousand Calamities Azure Snake.What was going on? Wait… Nether Vipers?!A familiar voice suddenly echoed above him. "Go to hell!"Chase looked up and saw a figure hovering in the air.Sure enough—it was the man with small eyes. He was still alive!Chase glanced at the corpse he had just slain moments ago. What lay there was not a real body but a pile of beast bones, blood, and shredded fur—a decoy.How careless of him. The warriors of the Nefarious Deity Sect were as troublesome as ever.He let out a quiet sigh.The man with small eyes, on the other hand, was seething with hatred.Back at the Nefarious Deity Sect, the three brothers had initially dismissed the Nefarious
The fierce storm-like assault proved effective.The man with small eyes managed to land a few cuts on Chase's skin, leaving faint traces of blood. Delighted, he sneered, "You brat, you've been poisoned! Just accept your fate and die!"Chase let out a low snort.He had allowed the venomous green dagger to graze him intentionally. The blade barely cut through his skin, and after a slight wisp of black smoke, the wounds healed instantly.Earlier, Chase had estimated that the man with small eyes was, at most, a stage-six martial god. Unlike the boorish man from before, his strength seemed to lie in his speed and use of poison.However, after undergoing multiple rounds of body refinement, Chase's physique had become virtually immune to ordinary toxins. This venom was just too weak!Chase shook his head in disappointment.The smirk on the man with small eyes faded as he watched the wounds he inflicted disappear in an instant.That dagger—the Heaven's Poison Dagger—was forged from t
Zacharias sighed as he spoke, his tone laced with regret.Chase furrowed his brows and asked, "Why did they spare the Nine-Sea Giant Squid?""Orin, the Abyssal Ape, Lysand, the Black Monk, and Elijah, the Skinscraper, were all martial cultivators. The Nine-Sea Giant Squid's flesh has immense benefits for body refinement, even for those at the peak of the martial god realm."So, they carved out a small lake here, set up a restrictive formation, and kept it captive. Every 50 years, they would return to harvest its flesh. That's the only reason I've been able to survive."Chase narrowed his eyes. "How long until their next harvest?"Zacharias calculated for a moment before replying, "It should be happening any day now."Chase glanced at the massive squid still writhing in the lake, seemingly not fully dead. He formed a new plan in his mind. The Nefarious Deity Sect practiced body refinement too. Perhaps this thing could serve as some bait?He pondered for a moment before asking, "
A stage-eight martial nirvana beast, clearly one with a physique-focused specialization, yet possessing an innate talent for mind and soul attacks?Chase was momentarily surprised.Then, a smug voice echoed within his sea of consciousness."What a powerful body! This is a heaven-sent opportunity! Finally, I don't have to be trapped in that slimy squid anymore! These past few centuries have been absolutely disgusting!"Hearing this, Chase immediately understood.This was not an innate mind and soul attack from the Nine-Sea Giant Squid; this was the remnant soul of a long-lost great cultivator attempting to seize his body."Who are you?" he asked."Kid, you should be honored! I've chosen you, so just enjoy the ride!"Before Chase could get more answers, the entity launched a full-scale mind and soul assault.A black shadow rampaged through his sea of consciousness, colliding violently and emitting waves of soundless sonic attacks, sending waves of dizziness through Chase's mind.
"Castiel can only rely on his own luck now. Ivana, we should leave," Turk, the white-robed man, sighed."I suppose there's no other choice," Ivana replied, casting one last glance in the direction Chase had flown. There was a hint of reluctance in her expression.In the end, she activated her movement technique and soared away.Turk had been paying close attention to Ivana. When he noticed the lingering look in her eyes as she gazed after Chase, his expression darkened, though his thoughts remained unreadable.Once Ivana had taken flight, Turk flicked his fingers, sending a small black sphere rolling into the cave before he turned and departed.Not long after, Chase reappeared."Interesting," he mused, watching the direction Ivana and Turk had gone. A smirk played on his lips.With his heightened spiritual awareness, his perception far surpassed others of his level. The two stage-three martial god weaklings were nothing to him.After confirming that they had truly left, he step
Four black tentacles shot out from the cave, heading straight for the four of them.The boorish man, still reeling from his earlier clash with Chase, had no time to react before the tentacles wrapped around him. He let out a series of agonized screams as he was dragged into the depths of the cave.The white-robed man and the woman in purple stood farther away and managed to dodge the attack, their figures flashing as they leaped to safety.Chase, however, remained in place, completely entangled by the tentacles.The white-robed man halted, initially showing concern for the boorish man being captured. But upon seeing Chase ensnared as well, his expression shifted to delight. He assumed the beast would eliminate this troublesome opponent for him.Yet despite the tentacles stretching taut, Chase remained utterly unmoved. It was as if he had taken root in the ground.Feeling the strength of the tentacles, he realized they were far more powerful than those that had restrained the boor
What?!Chase felt incredulous.He dodged the attack and retreated about three feet away."What is this?!" Chase asked."Did you release monsters into this cave?" the woman in purple yelled angrily with her sword raised in the air."Monsters?" Chase glanced at the cave entrance in bewilderment. He saw a long, black tentacle appear from the cave as it reached out for the woman."Look out!" The two men behind the woman shouted as they defended her at the same time.Sword stances filled the air as the man in white helped the woman stop the tentacle. The boorish man picked up his blade and leaped into the air. He slashed down the back of the tentacle.Black-colored blood splattered onto a rock. Hissing sounds were heard coming from the plants as holes appeared in them due to the corrosion. There was lethal venom in the monster's blood.Chase was shocked to see this. The wailing he heard must have come from the monster. It looked quite powerful. He felt lucky about not entering the
Chase opened his eyes. His clothes had been wet but were now dry.He channeled his skills, and strength circulated him. He got rid of all impurities and felt invigorated.After that, he stopped using his skills and punched into the air using pure physical strength. He could vaguely hear the sound of a sonic boom.The effects of the Mirage Dragon Tiger Pill on body refinement were not bad at all. He estimated that he could achieve an upper level if he could take another three to five more pills.It seemed like a visit to the Nefarious Deity Sect was now inevitable.Chase turned to leave.Right after leaving, dark smoke began to billow from the middle-aged man's corpse, forming into a man. "Damn it. I can't believe I can only escape using Nefarious Deity Form. But I've managed to obtain your mind and soul's aura. The next time we meet, I'll make sure you'll suffer a fate worse than death. I won't let you die so easily."The man, who was in Nefarious Deity Form, began to glow green
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
