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
“Don’t do it!”The look on Finn’s face changed as he quickly said, “Tell us. What should we do for you to release him?”“Simple. Let me leave safely,” Shaun said as he laughed savagely.“That’s not possible!” Finn shook his head.Shaun had committed multiple crimes in Bactria.Besides that, Eastern Oceanians were known to be untrustworthy. Even if Finn agreed to the terms, the boy would end up getting killed.“If that’s your choice, I’ll kill him,” Shaun said as he started to kill the boy.“Stop!”Iris suddenly roared, “Aren’t you always claiming to be a noble man? You’re a great admirer of traditional principles and conduct, aren’t you? Why would you torture a child like that if you’re such a man?“Take me as a hostage instead and let the boy go.”“Iris…” Finn wanted to stop her.She ignored him and continued, “Are you telling me you’re afraid of a woman like me? If that’s true, you should just kill yourself right now, Shaun Franklin, because you aren’t a man!”“Shut up!”
Besides him, there were eight other people next to him. They were all martial monarchs who had strong and long-lasting auras. They were midway martial arts overlords.Such powerful people were considered top-notch fighters even in the Secret Sect. After all, only a handful of people in the martial domain had martial arts monarchs."I'll never surrender!" Quinn's pretty face was pale. She ran with all her might, and her skirt had turned bright red."If I'm right, that woman has something valuable on her.""Hahaha! Consider this my lucky day!"All of the martial artists shouted excitedly with lust in their eyes.It happened suddenly. Three flying daggers flew by and shot through the throats of three martial artists. They died horrible deaths instantly."Who is that?!""He's dead!"The rest of the martial artists were enraged.Chase was seen standing in the air at the next moment with a golden sword in his hand. Both his hands were behind his back as he stared coolly at the grou
He could not accept this! How could he?! The Secret Sect was supposed to be the official sect of Bactria! It was supposed to be a holy land for martial arts!"Tell me, where's the real location of the Secret Sect?" Chase crouched and stared calmly at Huck while asking.Huck clenched his teeth. "You're dead, you little bastard. How dare you offend the Secret Sect?! My father won't let you get away with this!""Oh?" Chase raised an eyebrow.He raised his hand and gave Huck a hard slap. The crisp sound of the slap echoed in the air, and Huck passed out right away. Chase would never be on the same side of the Secret Sect. He was not afraid of them either.His physique had long surpassed the standard of a martial monarch."Traveling millions of miles has not been a waste." Chase got up and turned to walk out of the restaurant."Hey, friend, wait a minute!" A middle-aged man blocked Chase's way."What do you want?" Chase frowned while asking."You've misunderstood me, young friend.
"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.
