Chapter 614

Author: Shrimp in Trouble Waters
Malachi James' discordant appearance had already attracted the attention and comments of passersby.

The two men's attire was so different that if the man had not spoken up, no one would have guessed they were together.

"Mr. Jovers, I'm only responsible for your safety. I don't concern myself with other matters!" Even when mentioned directly, the man in the priest's attire remained expressionless and unconcerned.

Hearing this, Cian was not annoyed but approached Chase and Enola, his gaze sweeping over Chase briefly before lighting up when he saw Enola.

"Ms. Langdon, you're even more beautiful in person than on TV. Let me introduce myself. I'm Cian Jovers." The man confidently extended his hand, assuming that his introduction would command respect.

"There he is, Cian Jovers!"

"Who's Mr. Jovers?"

"You don't know who Mr. Jovers is when you're in Joverton?"

"I'm here on vacation. I really don't know."

"I see, that explains it. Well, Cian Joverton is the wealthiest man in Joverton.

    Chase was speechless.How could everyone act like this?Had Bactria not banned firearms long ago?It seemed it was time for some reform.Although guns were mere toys to him, their deterrent effect on ordinary people was still significant.True enough, when the man pulled out the handgun, the already dispersing crowd fled in complete panic. There were only a few brave souls who dared to watch from a distance.Seeing that the onlookers had scattered, Chase turned around and calmly said to Cian, "Do you realize how serious a crime it is in Bactria to illegally possess firearms and have a private army?"Cian responded with exaggerated laughter. "Colin, is he threatening me? He wouldn’t go and report me, would he? I'm so scared! I'm terrified, really!"Hearing the laughter, Chase remained unflustered and continued, "Do you really have no regard for Bactria's laws at all?"Cian laughed even more wildly at Chase's remark. "Colin, did you hear that? He's talking to me about the law. K

    With a flick of his fingers, Chase had severed several heads.As the pale cyan sword aura approached, Cian could sense his death approaching and fell to his knees with a thud. He pleaded repeatedly, "You can't kill me! I'm a big shot in Joverton. I've made so many contributions to Joverton, so you can't kill me. My dad is Joverton's..."Before he could finish, Malachi appeared in front of Cian with an ancient sword already drawn from its sheath. He struck down with one blow.Although it was just a casual strike from Chase, it still killed several people. The strike even caused the ancient sword to vibrate continuously."Master Collins, you really can't kill him!" Malachi had recognized Chase's identity by then.With such terrifying strength and such youth, who else could it be but the famously notorious Master Collins?"Are you saving him, Father James?"Chase's icy gaze fell on Malachi, instantly doubling the pressure on him."It's an order from my sect, so I have no choice al

    As the two departed, the onlookers who had secretly watched from a distance were instantly in an uproar."The chairman of Farwide Group, Cian Jovers, was killed just like that! Even his body was left right here. This is huge! Let’s hurry and leave!"The ordinary folks dared not linger in the area any longer and quickly fled the scene of trouble.The news spread as rapidly as the dispersing crowd.Soon, it reached the ears of the mayor of Joverton."What? Cian was killed on the spot? By a suspected martial arts master? The murderer hasn't even fled and is still at Dragon Tiger Mountain?"I don’t care who the hell that martial arts expert is! How dare he kill my son and show such disregard for me? Notify the Joverton police to besiege Dragon Tiger Mountain. Turn it inside out if you have to, but find the murderer and bring him to justice!" Jeremiah Jovers, the mayor of Joverton, roared hysterically.Putting down the documents he was handling, Jeremiah recalled that the suspect was

    "Malachi, I only sent you down the mountain to gain experience, not to get involved in these matters. It's best if you can stay out of it. How could you allow yourself to get deeply entangled in this?" the elder said in a lecturing tone."But, Master—" Malachi wanted to say more."Enough. No need to say more. Just watch," the elder interrupted him.Despite being surrounded by police, Chase was calm and composed. He was merely waiting for the person in charge to arrive.Sure enough, before long, Jeremiah appeared at the scene, accompanied by a whole troop. The police surrounding Chase stepped aside as some of them, armed with guns and a couple with RPGs, secured the perimeter.Seeing that Chase was already surrounded, Jeremiah walked past the officers, ignoring the attempts of Sage Cox and the others to stop him. He simply approached Chase to confront him. "Did you kill Cian?"Chase glanced at Jeremiah and responded indifferently, "What if I did?""May I ask why?""Because he

    If it was truly him, the statements made just now were indeed correct. Gregory decided to clarify things first.Gregory quickly responded, "I'm General Gregory Maverick of the Joverton Military Region. Are you Basalt's Collins?"Chase ignored Gregory’s query and retorted, "Since when can a mere mayor control the military?"This response further confirmed Gregory's suspicion.It really was Basalt's Collins himself. Gregory immediately broke out in a cold sweat.This was the man who had command over military movements not just in Joverton but across all of Bactria.Realizing that Gregory had almost ordered an attack on Basalt's Collins, he regretted it deeply. After all, this was Basalt's Collins, a true master of martial arts who had slain several of the Eastern Ocean's Heavenly Masters and made monumental contributions to Bactria."I, Gregory Maverick, pay my respects to Chief Instructor Collins!" Gregory immediately saluted respectfully."Salute to Basalt's Collins," the sol

    Chase turned around and said calmly, "Didn’t you hear him? He claims to be the law in Joverton. Who else in Joverton can judge him? But since you're pleading for him, let me ask you one question—and answer me truthfully—is he truly innocent?”Faced with Chase’s gaze, Sage recalled Jeremiah’s reputation in Joverton and immediately fell silent.If Jeremiah had been clean, Farwide Group would not have dominated Joverton. Over the years, more than half of the cases in court involved Farwide Group, and each time a case escalated, it disappeared without a trace.As the head of the police, Sage was all too aware of this.Seeing Sage's expression, Chase understood it well. “I know you're somewhat discontent with my direct approach, thinking even if Joverton can't judge him, appealing to Capital City might work. But have you thought about this? "After all these years, he remains the top official in Joverton. Why is that? Do you think no one has reported him to the capital? Besides, is it

    "In the current world, spiritual energy only allowed cultivators to cultivate up to the peak of a true master of martial arts. To progress further, one must find a place where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth converges or seek remnants of the old world, namely secret realms. "You're constantly on the run, so how could you have time to practice and make breakthroughs?" Assassin Five was absolutely puzzled.Chase was not inclined to clarify anything for his enemy, so he replied coolly, "Guess?""According to legends, some powerful beings could assimilate secret realms into their bodies. But it's clear you can't possibly do that. So, there's only one possibility left—you have a spiritual crystal formed from gathered spiritual energy on you, right? "Hand it over and I might spare your life," Assassin Five speculated, feeling he had guessed correctly.Spiritual crystals were rare, but they did occasionally exist in the world."A spiritual crystal? I did have one, but I've al

    Thunder techniques?What a coincidence.Upon hearing this, Chase casually said, "Thunder!"Suddenly, the previously clear sky was instantly shrouded with dark clouds. A storm was brewing rapidly as fierce winds kicked up. Within the clouds, brilliant flashes of light moved like dragons made up of electricity, racing through the sky."You actually know thunder techniques?" Caspian exclaimed in surprise within Chase's mind."Just a little," Chase replied, recalling the Five-Thunder Technique the old man had taught him. He had not expected that using it with his current level of cultivation would manifest such divine power.The unusual sight in the sky did not go unnoticed by two priests watching from a distance.At this moment, the two were already dumbfounded."Master, isn't that the Heavenly Master Mansion's thunder technique?" Malachi muttered in disbelief."It's a thunder technique, but even I, or even Phineas, can't produce such a phenomenon when using it," Malachi's master

    As Clive had gained quite a lot, he decided to let it be. He allowed himself to let go of things. However, that being's consciousness began to open up to Clive, and that was when Clive realized how powerful the being was.It was one against the 12 Primal Treasures, and the universe was its target. It had existed for millions of years. The result of allowing it to take over was Clive losing complete control of his body. It was a projected image that vanished after Chase defeated it.However, Clive's body had been modified by it, and Clive's mind and soul were unable to control his own body. This was what had caused Clive to look like he was in a daze right after the match.Rania then used a mystical technique to transmit her cultivation and combine the powers of both parties. It triggered a lost talent within Clive that merged all of the swordsmanship he cultivated to form an unknown sword form that had never been seen before.Clive felt like he had been revived.He looked at the Ni

    Inside the halved corpse, faint outlines of Rania and the coachman's bodies could be seen. They were twisted and contorted.Foul-smelling digestive fluid bubbled and hissed, corroding their bodies.Rania appeared to retain a shred of consciousness. "Cli... Clive... Clive... Help me... Save..."Her voice was faint, tremulous, and laced with sorrow. It stirred pity in the heart.In truth, even before she had spoken, Clive had already detected her presence through his spiritual consciousness. He raised his sword. His face was tormented as if he wanted to put a swift end to things. Yet in the end, he let out a long sigh and released a surge of true essence, pulling both the coachman and Rania from River's corpse.The coachman's cultivation was far too low, and his clothes were made of ordinary fabric. They offered no resistance to the corrosive and toxic digestive acid inside River's body.Half of his body was already unrecognizable, with the bones and internal organs exposed. His b

    "Pathetic."The Nine-Sea Giant Squid that River had transformed into spoke with a human voice, then opened its gaping maw and swallowed her whole.The coachman, who had leaped off the horse the moment River transformed, scrambled and sprinted away. He was already dozens of feet out.Just then, a dark blur flashed past, and one of River's tentacles shot forward at incredible speed, snatching him back and devouring him in a single gulp as well."Disgusting. That woman tasted better," he muttered while slithering toward the carriage on his tentacles.Suddenly, an explosion echoed from within his belly, and faint glimmers of light shone through the surface of his body."That woman's protective artifact is so weak. Looks like she wasn't treated well in the Norths, after all."River examined himself carefully and found that it was indeed Rania's protective talisman that had just detonated. Yet his body remained largely unharmed. With some minor healing over ten days to half a month, he

    Outside Light Divine City, Rania sat inside a carriage with Clive."Clive, say something, will you? You staying silent like this is really worrying me," she said while wiping the sweat from Clive's forehead and letting out a sigh.As a collateral descendant of the Norths, Rania's life had never been particularly easy. She had thought she had finally snagged a golden opportunity with Clive, only for him to fall into a daze after just one match.What was she supposed to do now?Everyone had witnessed their behavior during the tournament. Though some might look down on them, they would undoubtedly see the two of them as a pair by now.If she abandoned Clive at this point, she would surely be labeled a heartless woman.Just then, the carriage came to a halt. They had only left the city less than an hour ago and were still far from Universal Holy Land. Was someone blocking the road? Rania frowned and lifted the curtain.Sure enough, there was someone standing in the way.She looked c

    Even though the match had ended, Lisa still could not fully escape the lingering terror.The slimy, wriggling tentacles covered in suction cups and jagged teeth, stretching out toward her… Such images were seared into her mind. The impact had been too great.Though she was a direct descendant of the dragon clan—an authentic ancient lineage and one of the top races in the entire world—she had been completely overpowered then.Normally, her bloodline would exert natural suppression over most others. However, at the time, she was almost crushed by another.She could not even begin to imagine what kind of race could do that."It tried to eat you?" Walter exclaimed in shock.As a great beast himself, he understood just how powerful the dragon clan's pure bloodline was.Even though the incident with the Lightning Dragon kneeling to Chase had dulled some of the mystique around dragons, it remained undeniable that they were a superior bloodline."For a creature to make a dragon feel lik

    "Pfft, what Saints or Saintesses? They're just titles. They don't have any real skills to speak of!""Exactly. These so-called Saints who suddenly emerged probably got their status through shady means. The moment they enter a duel, their real strength shows."Amid the chorus of cheers and congratulations, a few jarring voices remained, and one of them was Rania's. Although she was a social climber herself, hearing the crowd ridicule Clive after his defeat made her deeply uncomfortable."That's not true. Clive is not like that," she repeated again and again. Those were the only words she could manage.Several in the crowd recognized her as the one who accepted a gift from Clive earlier and began to mock her."She's the perfect example of a shallow woman. The moment she accepts a gift, she loses her sense of judgment. It's pathetic.""Right? The truth is right in front of her—Clive is just a big show-off with no real skills. And yet she keeps lying to herself.""Hmph. They really a

    Later, a certain senior of the sect discovered a secret technique of the Nefarious Spirits.It was to meditate on the image of a divine beast or an overwhelmingly powerful immortal being the embodiment of one's soul. As the level of visualization deepened, one's spiritual soul strength would grow accordingly.This method of cultivating Nefarious Spirits was a hybrid of corpse refining and body cultivation.However, while corpse and body cultivation focused on physical bodies, Nefarious Spirits cultivation trained the intangible—the spiritual consciousness and the mind and soul.After this discovery, they even improved the methods of refining corpses and bodies using it.When refining the body, practitioners would visualize fierce beasts like bears or wolves or celestial warriors, generals, and even gods. The subjects of their visualizations would match with their nature and temperament, making them their own Nefarious Spirits.Fallon's Nefarious Spirit was an ancient giant ape. It

    As for Fallon and Carla on the high platform, they clearly sensed that the ominous gaze from above had lessened significantly.Clive, who was facing Chase directly, also felt that his seemingly unstoppable sword strike had suddenly stalled in front of Chase. It could not push forward any further. This shocked him greatly.After all, even when sparring with his own master, he had never encountered this sensation. His master had even praised him for his good fortune after obtaining a peerless sword and for mastering a sword technique unparalleled in this generation. If not for the looming limit of his life span and the need to break through to gain more years, his master would have wanted to cultivate that technique himself.This sword strike, which Clive considered to be the culmination of all his understanding of the sword path, was the most perfect attack he had ever executed since beginning his cultivation journey.Even so, this nameless opponent had forced it back with a single
