Everyone exclaimed in shock when they saw the face of the figure that had flown off from the impact.“It’s Tyrone Gilligan? He's actually defeated?”“How is that possible? He’s a true master of martial arts who has a long-standing reputation!”Everyone looked at Tyrone, who looked disheveled from defeat while Chase stood where he was with a hand behind his back. There was shock in their eyes.Chase was the younger man, but he had defeated a renowned true master of martial arts.No one would have believed it if they did not see this with their own eyes.Tyrone stabilized himself with slight difficulty. There was a twitch in his eye as he looked at Chase again. “Who exactly are you?”Even true masters of martial arts had different levels of power. Chase had to have achieved the Convergence of Three Flowers and the Invigoration of the Five Energies.Tyrone had been training in isolation to study martial arts for more than ten years. It took him a lot of work to finally achieve the
An off-road vehicle stopped by the roadside outside of Vast Nine Lake.“Miss Norris, we've arrived at Vast Nine Lake." The driver walked to the backseat and opened the car door. After getting out of the car, Quinn looked around in confusion and said gratefully, “Thank you. You may leave now. I'll look for Chase by myself.”“Miss Norris, I think we should stay with you. Mr. Hayes ordered us to ensure your safety at all costs," the driver pleaded. “It’s fine. I appreciate your kindness, but I've already been such a nuisance. I can’t trouble you anymore,” Quinn quickly refused. She started her journey from Rochester and would not know how she could have made it here without these people watching over her.After all, they did not know her and had been very kind to do all this for her. How could she continue to cause them more trouble?“Alright then, Miss Norris. Please be careful.”The driver stopped and did not insist anymore. After that, he turned to get back to the car and dr
The onlookers shook their heads and sighed when they saw Chase's situation. At the same time, they had looks of pity on their faces.Iris said anxiously, “Finn, what should we do?”Even though she disliked Finn, he had helped them capture Shaun, so they were indebted to him.How could she watch Chase die in Tyrone’s hand?However, Finn chuckled bitterly and said, “I can’t do anything. After all, this is the fight of true masters. We’re just amateurs, so we’re nothing to them. There’s nothing we can do.“Even if we mention Basalt, I don’t think Tyrone will be scared.”Iris’ heart sank after hearing that.Meanwhile, Elena and Kevin also looked nervous.Elena looked at Chase above the lake and clasped her fingers together. “Oh, Chase, you can’t lose! Even though we have some misunderstandings, I still hope you’ll win.”“Hahaha!”While everyone was looking at them, Tyrone laughed as he looked at Chase in restraints. “Gosh, Master Collins, this is what you’ll get for offending me.
Tyrone had gone mad after his repeated losses.At this moment, the only thing he wanted to do now was to kill Chase so he could regain his face.“Dragon Thunder Slap!”Tyrone growled and then transported all of his energy to his right palm. Immediately, a blue light appeared in his palm, making it look like he was holding thunder.It seemed that he was attacking Chase with just one slap, but in reality, he had already slapped Chase more than ten times in the blink of an eye. His attacks were all aggressive and as fast as lightning, like thunder and wind in a tumult.“Dragon Thunder Slap? I guess Tyrone’s really anxious now that he’s bringing out all his ultimate moves.”On land, Finn’s pupils contracted, and he said, “Chase has forced Tyrone to such a state, so it doesn’t matter what the outcome of this battle is. Chase has already won.”He took a deep breath and displayed endless passion in his eyes, “After this battle, his name will reverberate through the world. Master Collin
Chase could not stop Tyrone if he decided to seek revenge against these people.Just as he said, Tyrone had to die today.Tyrone did not think Chase would reject him so quickly, so he roared, “Let’s see if you can kill me!”He then punched himself in the chest. While he vomited blood, his body zoomed forward at lightning speed. He was even faster than he was before.“Blood Release Technique?”Chase’s pupils contracted, and he took a step forward. Immediately, a light halo appeared in the void, making it look as if he was stepping on stars as he chased after Tyrone.The Stride of the Nine Heavens was a very advanced technique.“Did Tyrone just escape?”The onlookers looked at each other and could not believe what they saw.“Come, let’s go see!”Finn brought Iris along as they chased after Chase, who was a long way ahead.They had to find out the result of this battle and report it.…More than ten minutes later, Tyrone fell to the ground after Chase punched him. It created
Thankfully, Iris was quick to catch Quinn’s body.She asked, “Finn, who is she?”“No idea.”Finn looked at Quinn and shook his head. “Judging by how nervous she is about Chase, I think she might be his girlfriend.”‘Girlfriend?’ Iris wondered as she looked at Quinn.Ultimately, she had to admit that Quinn was gorgeous, even more than her.However, when she saw Quinn’s hands, she exclaimed, “Look at her hands!”Finn looked over and noticed how mangled Quinn’s fingers were. All of her nails were broken, and some were still bleeding.Finn frowned. “I think she must have crawled here. All of her nails are broken, and her hands are scratched.”Iris said in distress, “Does she want to die? Is Master Collins so important to her?”“Let’s treat her. If not, she might lose both of her hands.”Finn shook his head and took off his shirt, putting it on the ground. Then, he asked Iris to put Quinn down.He then took out the special medicine from Basalt from his first aid kit to start tre
“Is that possible?” Quinn smiled bitterly.The sinkhole seemed bottomless. It might be at least a thousand meters deep. Even a stone would break into pieces after falling in, let alone a human.At this moment, Finn walked over and said, “He might. After all, Master Collins is a true master of martial arts. He’s incomparable to a normal human.”After he said that, Quinn froze, and she lifted her head to look at the two. “Really?”Her eyes lit up with hope again.Iris nodded and continued, “Yes, so don’t be so pessimistic. We’ve called for help and are now waiting for them to arrive.”“When will they arrive?” Quinn asked, crying from happiness.“I have no idea.”Iris said with a troubled look on her face, “However, they will need at least four hours. After all, it’s inconvenient to airlift a lot of the equipment, so they can only walk.”Four hours?Quinn finally felt a glimpse of hope, but it was distinguished again.Four hours was too long. No one knew what could happen in th
Finn carefully sent Quinn down from the side of the sinkhole.Iris was highly nervous.Even though Quinn had the rope around her, she was worried that Finn would also slip and fall.In the end, Quinn disappeared before the two of them.Finn then sat on the ground and sighed as if he had been relieved of a heavy burden. “Let’s hope she can return safely.”He then lifted his head and saw Iris staring blankly into the sinkhole.“What are you thinking?” Finn asked.After Iris returned to her senses, she said, “Finn, is love really that powerful?”Finn was curious why she would ask that.Iris continued, “I must say that seeing Miss Norris touched me a lot.“A frail woman like her came all the way to Vast Nine Lake just to look for Master Collins. When she couldn’t walk anymore, she decided to crawl. She even broke all of her nails.“Even when she knew that Master Collins had fallen into the sinkhole and was unsure whether he was alive or dead, she did not hesitate to go down rega
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
