Quinn nodded in astonishment and fear.“I don’t believe you. Lead me there to see for myself.”Madam Snake’s expression changed several times. She grabbed Quinn by the shoulders, and her nails dug deep into Quinn’s flesh.She ignored the cries of pain from Quinn and dragged Quinn out with her as she leaped across the underground river that was more than ten yards wide. She headed straight for the bottom of the sinkhole.Quinn soon led her to where she had fallen. “It’s… It’s up there.”She was in complete despair right now.Quinn realized that Madam Snake was no ordinary woman. She was formidable, and Quinn could not escape from her control.Madam Snake looked up and saw the endless rising cliff. She hesitated before suddenly shaking the sleeve of her robe.A little green snake shot out from her sleeve and fell onto the ground. It bared its teeth at Quinn.Quinn screamed in fear.“Go up there to have a look,” Madam Snake ordered the little green snake.The little green snake
Quinn’s look of despair turned to delight when she saw both of them suddenly appear.Madam Snake frowned. She grabbed Quinn by a hand and retreated immediately more than ten yards away from them.Finn had landed safely on the ground.They had been waiting at the top in worry since Quinn came down the cliff.After some hesitation, they decided to come down to give her help.He looked at Madam Snake and said, “Let Miss Norris go, you old hag.”“What if I refuse to?” Madam Snake smiled sinisterly.“Then forgive me for being rude.”The look in Finn’s eyes darkened and he made the first attack.He was like a tiger as he took a step forward. His right hand was like a claw that went straight for Madam Snake’s arm that had Quinn in a grip.“You overestimate yourself!”Madam Snake grunted coldly. Her brittle right hand flew out from her sleeve to attack Finn.Finn’s hand quickly changed from claw-like to a straight palm as he took on her palm attack hard.Bam!One palm from her wa
“I’m… I’m fine for now.”Finn sat up and quickly pressed a few acupoints on his body. He said, “Go… Go after that old hag. She took a shot from you and couldn't have gone far.”Iris clenched her teeth and ran in the direction where Madam Snake escaped.Ten minutes later, she followed the bloodstains and reached the underground river.She had to stop and look around carefully. There was no sign of Madam Snake.“Damn that old hag!” Iris was furious.That was when she noticed someone lying on the ground right opposite the river.Iris flew over in a few steps and was shocked when she saw who it was. “It’s him…”She followed along the river to inspect it a few times but still could not find any signs of Madam Snake and Quinn. She returned to carry Chase and left the river.Finn was sitting cross-legged on the ground. His eyes were shut in meditation as he tried to suppress the venom inside him.He was taken aback to see Iris return with a man and he said with surprise, “Is that Ch
No one knew how much time had passed before Chase finally woke up.When he opened his eyes, he immediately saw two familiar faces.“You’re finally awake, Chase,” Finn said in delight.Chase sat up and looked around his unfamiliar surroundings. “Where am I, Finn?”“You’re inside the Basalt base. Don’t move. You haven’t recovered from your wounds yet,” Finn said anxiously.Iris said brusquely, “What’s with the advice, Finn? We shouldn’t stop him if he wants to die.”She got angry at the sight of Chase.It was because she was the one who had been carrying Chase all the way back.That was not the only thing. Her main anger stemmed from thinking that Chase had taken advantage of her while he was unconscious in the helicopter.If Finn had not stopped her, she would have pushed Chase out of the helicopter.Chase nodded and realized that his wounds were almost healed.He said gratefully, “Thank you both for saving me.” “We weren’t the ones who saved you. You saved yourself,” Finn
“You’re quite the knowledgeable man, Mr. Collins.” Howard looked at him in great astonishment. He nodded and said, “It’s lucky that Mr. Yardley is a martial arts powerhouse and is protected by true energy. That’s why you were able to withstand the venom until I helped extract it from you.”Finn looked fearful at the thought.Chase frowned and said, “Dr. Quinland, do you know the owner of the Nefarious Roach’s venom?”“I do.”Howard nodded and said, “From what I know, there is an old woman called Madam Snake who breeds Nefarious Roaches. She is wicked at heart and is a martial arts powerhouse. She has since killed many people with their venom and no one dares to offend her.”“Do you know where she is now?” Chase asked coldly.This old hag had hurt Quinn and Chase wanted her dead.“You overestimate me, Mr. Collins.” Howard shook his head and smiled bitterly. “This woman has always moved about mysteriously and she’s very good at putting on a disguise. No one has seen her real face
Chase got someone to bring him some pots and pans after entering the room.He had successfully found the Centennial Blood Root and Sky Spirit Flower from his trip to Rochester. The only thing left to do was to refine the Life and Nature Pill.The illness Myra was suffering from the Body of Mystical Ice could only be cured by the Life and Nature Pill.Chase had no pill furnace and could only make use of the pots and pans to refine the pill.Even though it was less efficient, it would be enough for refining the pill.He took out the Centennial Blood Root and the Sky Spirit Flower. After that, he turned on the electric stove.The electric stove does not have the function of pill refining. All it could do was provide heat. The real refining work came from the true energy within Chase’s body.He did not hesitate as he placed all the ingredients for the Life and Nature Pill into the pot according to the correct sequence of the formula.As the pot began to boil, the ingredients cooked
This was the first time Myra had been able to watch him so closely in 12 years.She had to admit that he was a handsome man. He looked even better than those pop idols seen on television and was quite manly as well.Myra wondered which woman would end up stealing his heart.She mumbled to herself.Myra was suddenly reminded of something and her face flushed red immediately.When they were young, all seven of them had insisted on marrying Chase and giving him lots of children.That might have been a childish promise made between innocent children back then.However, it still caused Myra’s heart to flutter over it.She stared at Chase’s face and suddenly leaned down. Her luscious lips were about to touch Chase’s.That was when Chase suddenly opened his eyes.Myra froze.They looked each other in the eyes.Myra’s face blushed furiously, and her heart thumped wildly.Just when she had no idea what to do, Chase closed his eyes again.Myra immediately looked up and turned her f
Everyone walked out of the villa when they heard that voice. They saw two military Jeeps parked right outside the door.A young man surrounded by a few muscled men was standing in front of the Jeep. He was the one who had been yelling outside.Myra’s expression changed at the sight of the young man. There was a cold look on her pretty face.“Mr. Collins, they…” Rebecca looked at Chase like she had just seen her savior.“I’ll take care of this.”Chase shook his head before looking at the young man. “Who are you? Don’t you know you can’t be yelling in front of someone’s home?”“You don’t need to know who I am.”The young man sneered with disdain. He turned to look at Myra, who was behind Chase. “Do you think it will help by hiding from me, Myra Kollins? Come with me right now to get married.”Myra froze and walked out while saying coldly, “I didn’t promise to marry you, Logan Hampton. All I did was say I was willing to give you a chance when I borrowed your father’s authorization
"I know," Chase replied."Alright. I should be leaving." Chase stood up.A dim look flashed in Quinn's eyes. "Are you really leaving, Chase?"Chase paused in his footsteps."W-Would you be willing to marry me?" Quinn's lips were trembling, and there was sadness in her voice. She stared at Chase as if she was trying to see deep into him."I…" Chase opened his mouth but slowly shut it after a while. "I'm not thinking about this right now, Quinn. You should rest. I'll get going."His back faced Quinn as he walked out of the cave.Suddenly, a thunderous explosion rang out. The Might of Thunder and Lightning raged as it swept across the mountain peak.Chase frowned. "What's going on?""Hurry! We should go!"That was when a loud commotion was suddenly heard from afar.Chase saw a group of martial artists come rushing toward them."Who are you?" Chase roared."Haha, you rascal. How dare you return?" A stage-five martial monarch laughed sinisterly as he walked in the air toward th
"I'm so sorry, Chase. I didn't manage to protect Lyana and our other sisters…" Quinn cried guiltily.Chase was silent."Thank you for saving me, Chase." Quinn looked up and wiped away her tears before forcing a smile."Don't speak, Quinn. Your cultivation has seriously regressed. Let me help you get your health back first. Once you get better, we'll leave."He took out various precious ingredients from his bag and built them into a small pile.Quinn was taken aback."W-What are all these?""You can take them without worries." Chase pushed everything in front of Quinn calmly."Are you really giving me such precious spiritual medicine?" Quinn's pretty eyes widened. She was astonished, and for good reason. Every one of these spiritual medicines was worth a lot of money. Even an ordinary martial monarch might not be able to afford them.Yet Chase had placed everything in front of her to have as she pleased.Quinn was touched. "I owe you too much…""We don't need to say thanks b
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
