The man raised the curved sword in his hand as he slashed it down at Bolt’s head.Right at that moment, an authoritative voice was heard. “How dare animals like you create havoc in Bactria?!”A figure appeared following that voice.It was Chase.Besides working on Ira’s movie, he had been spending time with Olivia, Enola, Quinn, and the rest in Imperial Dragon Bay. He was spending his days comfortably, except for the fact that someone was trying to assassinate him every night.He had just finished shooting and was on his way home.Chase was reminded of Caspian’s casual remark about someone about to be killed.He did not think much of it at first, but upon closer thought, it was not a good idea that he owned half of South River City and was not aware of the killings within the city.That was why he came rushing over.Chase did not expect the person to be one of his men.He ran full speed ahead at the crucial moment and appeared right by Bolt right before Bolt was about to be k
“You’re Basalt's Collins?” All three men were in black. They were in Eastern Ocean spy outfits. “What if I am? Are you the Heavenly Masters from Eastern Ocean?” Chase asked coldly.“How dare you be so condescending toward Heavenly Masters?” One of the men was about to attack.“Calm down, Master Dupont. Let me say something,” another man stopped him and said.“We can kill you anytime like how we killed your predecessor, Collins of Basalt. Have you any idea who the people standing right in front of you are?”He pointed to the man on the left and said, “That's Master Dupont, one of Eastern Ocean’s Eight Heavenly Masters. As for me, I’m also one of the Eight Heavenly Masters. My name is Anton Smoake!“I’m offering you an opportunity right now, Collins. Come over to Eastern Ocean’s side with the entire Basalt and we’ll forgive you for killing one of our Heavenly Masters. You’ll even live in unimaginable fame and fortune if you swear loyalty to us. How about it?” Anton said proudly.
Bolt could not believe that he and the Heavenly Kings had tried to challenge Chase before! He stared at Chase’s back and suddenly felt a chill go down his back.“Let’s return to Camland!”Chase noticed Bolt in a daze and slapped Bolt awake.“Oh… Yes, Chief Instructor. Let’s return right now. We might still be able to save the rest of Basalt,” Bolt quickly said after snapping out of it.“Don’t worry. I can sense that they aren’t dead, but we have to hurry,” Chase said stoically.Since getting Cyclone, Inferno, Thunder, and Bolt to cultivate the skill he had shared with them, Chase began sensing them. He could tell their locations and determine if they were alive or dead even if they were thousands of miles apart. Chase could even kill them instantly if he wanted to.That was how powerful that skill was.They flew in the air speedily, and Chase eventually ditched Bolt because he found Bolt too slow. Bolt was left flying slowly behind while Chase transformed into a flash of light a
The thought of Green Dragon successfully infiltrating Eastern Ocean and killing one of their Eight Heavenly Masters sent a chill down Leon’s back. It was fortunate that the Green Dragon did not target him. He was a level weaker than the one who died.Leon would not escape the Green Dragon if he were targeted.It would be a worthy trip if they were able to kill Chase. It would be even better if they could kill the Green Dragon if they found the members here.Leon thought about this gleefully.That was when something happened. A figure slowly entered the door of the training ground.“Huh? Is there anyone still alive at the Basalt base besides the people here?” Leon saw the young figure coming in and thought it was a young member of Basalt. He immediately leaped forward toward the figure speedily to kill him with a palm attack.That figure was Chase. He had rushed from South River City to the Basalt base in Camland. Even he had to use a few hours to get here. There was a huge distan
“Why did you throw in three useless things, you rascal?” Caspian immediately protested when three of them vanished just to appear not far from him.“I’m sorry, Caspian. Those three are my men. I’m worried I’ll accidentally hurt them if we start fighting. The only way to protect them is to hide them here,” Chase explained.Caspian did not object after listening to Chase. He only had one thing to say, “You won’t be able to defeat him when you only have half of your true energy left!”“I’ll still need to fight him. I have to kill him too!” Chase said murderously.“Then you’ll have to pay a little price for it,” Caspian continued.“What price?” Chase asked.“The price is a handphone for me. Get me one and I’ll give you a solution,” Caspian said with a gleeful look on his face. It was difficult to imagine that the Valiant King who was also known as the Boxing King could make such an expression.It was only because he had gotten to know Chase well.No one else would be able to see th
Chase and Cabe kept attacking each other. Meanwhile, Aaron had been physically blown away from the tremors of their fight.The entire place was destroyed due to their fight.Both men fought from the sky to the ground. The earth was shattered with numerous holes, and dust flew everywhere. It was not long before they were fighting in the air once again.Numerous explosions were heard from the fight, and after thousands of attacks against each other, Chase was suddenly hit right in the chest. He flew backward like an arrow shot out from a bow.He was coughing blood when he stood up, and there was finally some distance between him and Cabe.“Hahaha! I’m still better than you, Collins. You’ll pay with your life for the arrogance you’ve displayed. You refused to let me leave and made me stay, and now you’re wounded and not my match. You should die along with the entire Basalt." Cabe laughed when he saw Chase coughing blood from his attack.Cabe had won!Aaron was delighted to hear C
Cabe could not figure out the symbols even after staring at them for a long time.He waved Aaron over.“I heard that you have some understanding of Bactria’s formations. What formation is this and how do we undo it?!”Aaron had been studying the formation from the moment Chase activated it.He frowned at Cabe’s questioning. He gave it some thought before replying, “This is an Eight Trigrams Formation commonly seen in Bactria, but compared to the normal Eight Trigrams Formation, this particular formation is not used for attacking. "There are a few minor formations hidden within that are used to trap people. Activating any one of them will cause a chain reaction. I’m familiar with a few of them, but some of them have been modified—”“Cut the crap and tell me if you’re able to solve this!” Cabe interrupted Aaron.“I can probably do it if I have a few days,” Aaron replied timidly.“A few days? What’s the point of having you around?!” Cabe was within the formation and had nowhere t
“That’s because you’re pretty weak to me!” Chase replied coldly.“You!” Cabe was in disbelief.That sounded ridiculous to Cabe as they were both marquises of martial arts. How could Chase call him weak?“By the way, I think you don’t know this, so I’d better explain this. I let you land that palm attack on my chest on purpose just to make sure that you wouldn’t realize that I had to add my blood into the formation to activate it. Did you really think someone from a despicable little country like yours could ever beat me?”Chase continued taunting Cabe.“Anyone can brag, Collins. That’s all talk from you. How about fighting each other for real?” Cabe looked murderous as he said furiously.“I know you’re just putting on an act right now because you want me inside the formation,” Chase said nonchalantly.Cabe immediately knew that Chase had seen through him. Anyone who could cultivate into a marquis of martial arts could not be stupid. Cabe decided to forgo the pretense. He stared
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
