“Grandma Snake, please let me help Chase.”An old woman and a young woman were on a ferry in the middle of the river. It was Madam Snake and Quinn.“Even though you’re incredibly talented, you’ve only been cultivating for a short time. You’re not a true master yet. You’re no match for Wilfred Harrigan. Maybe you should choose another lover.”Madam Snake shook her head as she watched Quinn beg her.“You’re dead, Collins!”The people of the Martial Arts Alliance were on another ferry. Jayden clenched his fists when he saw this.If Chase died, he would be able to own South River City.All the humiliation he suffered would be repaid tenfold.There was also Myra. How dare she belittle him? He would finally have her and have his way with her.Chase had not moved at all since the fight began. That was until Wilfred rushed toward him.Chase smiled nonchalantly. “What a clown!”His slender right hand reached out as he pushed out his palm. Green energy flashed from his palm with great
“Who do you think you are to want to get Master Collins on your side? I want to be his disciple.”“Well, who do you think you are? Do you think you’re worthy to be his disciple? You’re better off as his dog.”“I’d be happy to be his dog.”Most of the martial arts powerhouses finally realized how invincible Master Collins was despite his young age.…“How did this happen? I must be dreaming!”The smile on Jayden’s face froze. It finally sunk in that he had offended someone he could not afford to.“Where’s Master Levington? Didn’t he promise to be here? I don’t see him anywhere.”Jayden finally remembered his master in his fluster.…“How did Chase become so powerful?”Quinn covered her mouth in disbelief.She had thought that if she worked hard enough, she would be able to catch up to Chase in power. She could stay by his side and protect him, but now it looked like she was nothing but a joke. He was even able to defeat the person Madam Snake could not handle.However, it w
20 minutes had passed. Saber River’s estuary was where the river was connected to the sea. Further out was the middle of the sea.Chase managed to stop Wilfred once more and kicked Wilfred into the sand.Wilfred was at his wit’s end after running all the way.“I repeat what I said, Wilfred Harrigan. Tell the truth about what happened back then and I’ll leave your body intact!”“Haha! Never! You were tricked, you little bastard!” Wilfred suddenly calmed down and said viciously. “It’s time for you to appear, Elders!”Two figures appeared not far from the beach.It was Jasper with two elders in traditional gear.“How did you end up in such a mess, Master Harrigan?” The elder in the lead frowned slightly while asking.“The Collins boy hid his real ability. I’m not his match,” Wilfred resented the defeat but replied honestly. “But with Master Lovitz and Master Eunus here, Collins is dead.”Wilfred was filled with confidence when he saw all three of them.Chase did not panic when
They had to get the spiritual herb, so both men wounded the owner lethally deep inside the mountains. Then, they took the herb just like that.“That was my master. You'll pay with your life for killing him. I forgot to tell you that I’ve killed all of the Eunuses!” Olivia picked up her sword and attacked again.Olivia was fueled with the need for vengeance at the thought of how her master had brought her up. Her sword stance got even more powerful and lethal than before.Alfred was losing.“Oh no!”Cecil quickly rushed over to help when he saw this.Two figures collided in the air. Chase and Cecil had hit each other with their respective palms, and Cecil stumbled backward.“What are you doing sticking your nose into someone else’s revenge?” Chase was smiling.Alfred would be dead in a few more moves.Just as expected, after three moves, Alfred did not manage to evade in time and Olivia stabbed him right in the chest. He died right on the spot.“Good sword work!”Chase burst
“I’ll talk, I’ll talk. I’ll tell you everything.”Wilfred’s legs turned to jelly as he fell kneeling to the ground.“What happened then was…”Before he could finish, Wilfred’s head fell limp to the side. He had stopped breathing.“Not again!”A cold look flashed in Chase’s eyes.It looked like whoever was behind this was much more vicious than he thought.Everyone about to reveal the truth died instantly.There was much more than met the eye behind the fire at Green Hill Orphanage. At this thought, Chase had a feeling that the fire was targeted at him. Everyone else from the orphanage was collateral damage.“Grandpa Gideon, my friends, don’t worry. I swear I will avenge you no matter how hard it is!” Chase promised solemnly. He cut off the heads of both men and left.Not long after he left, a few figures appeared in the air.They were the powerhouses who were true masters of martial arts who had been watching the fight secretly at Saber River.“Over there. There are three
“Quinn.” Chase gave Quinn a complicated look. Something about her was different.“You’re such a naughty boy, Little Rocky. Why didn’t you tell me you were Little Rocky?” Quinn said angrily.“It’s because you didn’t believe whatever I told you. We were already divorced. Besides, I had no idea that you were my seventh sister,” Chase said awkwardly as he rubbed his head.Quinn’s face turned red when she heard this.She had married Chase as she promised when she was young, but they ended up getting a divorce.“How long have you been waiting here?” Chase changed the topic and asked.“About ten minutes,” Myra replied after some thought.“Did you see anyone strange here?” Chase continued asking.“Strange? Nope. We didn’t see anyone. What’s wrong, Chase?”“Nothing.”Chase shook his head and stopped asking. He was probably overthinking it.He brought them back to Imperial Dragon Bay after that.Julia was overjoyed to see Quinn. She got Rebecca to prepare a room for Quinn and told Qu
The plane landed safely at Chitara City Airport.A young man in short sleeves and short pants walked into the departure hall in slippers.It was Chase.Chase had arrived at Chitara City with only a bank card Sam had pushed into his hand at the last minute. He had no luggage, which was why he skipped the luggage collection. He headed straight to the departure hall and prepared to leave on the airport bus.“Hey, handsome!” A voice called out from the front.Chase looked over and saw a woman wrapped up tight in a face mask, sunglasses, and a cap on this hot, summer day. She seemed to be looking at him. Chase looked left and right. He pointed at himself.There was no one else there but Chase. The crowd had moved to the luggage collection area.“That’s right. I’m talking to you, handsome. How about giving me a hand?”The woman was pleading with him.“What help do you need?” Chase did not reject her.“Can you help me with my luggage?” The woman took out a plane ticket from her po
Chase lowered his head to look at his shirt. He did not see anything wrong with how he dressed. How was it shabby?“He’s my friend.”Fortunately, Enola flashed a card in her hand right in time before the situation escalated.“I’m sorry. Please come this way.” The waiter immediately apologized when he saw the black card.This was a black card that was accessible to all banks in Bactria. It had almost no limit. That card could not only be used at the restaurant, it could even buy the entire Four Seasons Hotel.They found a window seat with a great view at a corner.Enola passed the menu to Chase. “Order anything you want.”“Hot dog,” Chase replied without looking at the menu.“Um… Alright. Two hot dogs!” Enola informed the waiter.No one had ever ordered hot dogs here before.It was the first time Enola had met someone like Chase. She was curious about him and lowered her guard. She took off all her disguises.Her gorgeous face immediately appeared. She took off her cap and he
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
