There was one main path that led to every hot spring, and it was a long, winding path.Chase took a glance and saw that there were dozens of hot springs in front of him.It was close to night at the time. That might be why most of the hot springs were empty.Chase tested the spring water with his hand. It was nice and warm. They were really hot springs. There might be something unusual under all of these hot springs, though.Shea noticed what Chase was doing and could tell that Chase was interested in the hot springs.He spoke up right away, "Honorable sir, the hot spring where the branch leader is would be the best one here. If you're interested, you can try it out." "Oh, really?"Chase showed his interest when he heard this.He needed to see the branch leader anyway, and he decided to take the opportunity to find out what was special about the hot springs.It was not long before Shea led Chase to the end of the path.There was a hot spring that could fit four to five peopl
"Stop right there. Where do you think is? Do you think you can come and go as you please?" Jimmy gave a look to his men after saying this. The men in black went to each side of Chase to stop him."Shea is a small gang leader with Yorels Organization. Even if he were a normal member, you wouldn't be able to force him into anything with just one word. Tell me the price you're willing to pay for this."Jimmy said this with full confidence.He had expected this.This man from Bactria was already retreating the moment he saw Jimmy."I can pay him a tourist guide fee," Chase replied nonchalantly.He had requested Shea to take him to East Capital, which was similar to what a tourist guide would do. It was enough to make it up to Shea with the payment.If this were some other place, he would have already beaten these people up for offending him."Are you kidding me? Do you think we look like people who need money?" Jimmy was angered by Chase's reply."What do you want?" Chase asked.
"Hahah! You have guts! You're the first person who dares challenge Yorels Organization in Ozark. Men!"Jimmy shouted an order.A bunch of men in black appeared around them. It looked like there were at least a hundred of them at a glance.Each of them had a gun in their hand.Chase had heard before that loyalty and integrity were important values in Eastern Ocean, especially among triads. It looked like it was true.He was tightly surrounded in a blink of an eye."Now, do you still have the courage to say what you did? I'd be very impressed if you repeated your words now," Jimmy said.A hundred men opened up a path for Jimmy.He had a curved longsword in his hand as he got closer to Chase. Everyone thought that Chase did not dare to fight back."Mr. Fields, it wouldn't be great if he's killed. He's from Bactria, after all," Shea tried to talk Jimmy out of it as he followed behind Jimmy."It doesn't matter where he's from. Do you know how many people from Bactria have died in
The gunshots continued for quite a while.Someone finally called out for a ceasefire.Everyone eventually stopped firing when that person spoke.Even then, a few among the hundred men were hurt in the crossfire, and three died from the rain of bullets.There were more than a hundred guns, and it would be impossible that anyone would come out of this safe with such a close distance firing.They stared at the huge black ball in front of them, which was made of bullets.Someone spoke up."Is he dead?""I have no idea.""You… Yeah, you! Go up there and check if that man is dead!"Someone went up and began to move the bullets away with the tip of the gun muzzle.That was when something happened.Chase smiled and said softly."It's my turn now."The bullets turned to face everyone else as they shot toward where they came from.They moved faster than when the shots were fired.Screams were heard everywhere.Less than three seconds later, it was silent everywhere.There was n
"Alright. You can leave now. Also, stop calling me 'honorable sir.' Just call me 'boss.'"Chase instructed Shea before getting him to leave.Even though the huge firefight between two of the biggest triads in Eastern Ocean was caused by Chase, he did not feel burdened by it at all. To put it simply, Eastern Oceanians were not people to him.…At a hot spring hotel on the other side of Ozark was Sonar Organization territory."There's an attack!" a voice shouted out loud.There was suddenly a group of men in black running into the hotel with guns in their hands.Gunfires were heard next.The gunfire finally ceased.There was a mess everywhere as the hotel was strewn with corpses.Even those who could still stand were covered with wounds.Mick Skoda was leaning against the wall as he coughed up blood."What the hell?! Has Yorels Organization gone crazy? How dare launch such a big attack on us? Do they think we're good-for-nothings?"Mick was the branch leader for Ozark's Sona
Mick was enraged. All he wanted was to destroy Ozark's Yorels Organization. He could not let his men die for nothing.This is even after they had killed all of the Yorels Organization members who attacked them.However, the sudden attack from dozens of men from Yorels Organization killed almost 200 people from Sonar Organization.That was equivalent to four people from Sonar Organization dying for every one person dead from Yorels Organization.Mick could not accept such a result.He was prepared to go all out to destroy the Ozark Yorels Organization branch while leading hundreds of men behind him.Yorels Organization's hot spring hotel was right in front of him.Mick was about to charge in attack.That was when someone spoke up."Mr. Skoda, there is a phone call for you."One of his subordinates interrupted him.This was a crucial moment, and it only infuriated Mick further.The man who spoke got shot in an instant and was dead just like that.Everyone fell silent. The on
Chase said casually, "If he hadn't been cleaned up properly, you're stepping on him right now.""What?! Jimmy's dead?"Chase's words shocked Mick.He had thought that the attack was Jimmy's idea. Now that Jimmy was dead, Mick realized that this was planned by someone else.That was when Shea walked out from the side."Shea, it's you. You were behind this?"Mick knew who Shea was.Shea ignored him.He went straight to Chase and called him 'Boss' respectfully."It's all been arranged, Boss."Chase grunted a reply.Mick watched all of this incredulously."Are you crazy, Shea? Why are you listening to someone from Bactria? Where's your dignity as the top triad of Eastern Ocean?"Mick could tell right away that the young man was not an Eastern Oceanian."How did you know that I'm not from Eastern Ocean?" Chase asked in fluent Eastern Oceanian.That was strange. How did these people know that he was not Eastern Oceanian in just one glance? What was different about him?"That'
The Dragon Abyss Sword formed into a fragment of a shadow. There was a long flash, and it killed dozens of men in an instant.This extraordinary sight convinced Mick that the young man was no kidding.He was a legendary martial artist!Not only was he powerful, but he also owned a mysterious treasure. If Mick could get his hands on it, it would grant him greater power.Mick got excited at this thought."Open fire! Kill him!" Mick ordered right away.Even a martial artist would be riddled with holes at such a close distance.Once this man from Bactria died, the weapon would belong to Mick.Mick thought about this gleefully.The next second, bullets came flying.Chase waved his hand, and a light screen appeared right in front of him.A true master of martial arts was able to stop bullets with true energy while a marquis of martial arts was able to stop ordinary missiles. A martial lord could even evade an attack from nuclear weapons.What could normal bullets do to Chase?Al
The Sword Manual was extremely difficult to understand. Chase had spent close to two days on it before he could grasp the surface-level information it contained.He figured that it would take at least one month for him to be able to completely cultivate the first stance. As for the second and third stances, as well as the most powerful killing move, he did not dare to have much hope for now."I wonder if there are valuable medicinal herbs in this mountain range," Chase wondered.A sword flash brushed past suddenly, cutting off a huge chunk of a rock.Chase's eyes widened. He stopped and looked toward somewhere not far off.A dark, green venomous snake that was more than 20 feet long was slithering about, emanating a dangerous aura as it stared at Chase."A venomous dragon python?" A grim look appeared in Chase's eyes.The venomous dragon python was a rare snake-type ferocious beast. It was covered in lethal venom, and even a stage-four martial god would die instantly if he cam
However, Chase was not about to let him get away. He went after Thorn while wielding his sword.The sword's blade sliced Thorn's skin, causing blood to splatter everywhere. He was once again seriously wounded, and the slash on his chest looked horrible.That was a vicious swing of the blade. It had destroyed Thorn's core, and his basic martial arts skills were gone."No! This isn't possible…!" Thorn was chilled to the core. He fell to the ground and was close to death. His eyes were wide with disbelief. He had never expected to lose to a human martial god.This was a great humiliation!"The Black Feather Guards will tear you apart and turn you to dust!" Thorn cursed at Chase with clenched teeth."Exotic races like you are pretty dumb." Chase shook his head. "If I'm killed, your people will die with me. There are many factors to consider in this world. You need to be aware of the consequences."Chase spoke unfeelingly. The next moment, he lifted his leg and kicked Thorn in the th
"Scared? Haha!"Thorn threw back his head and laughed with a condescending look in his eye. "Human martial artists are nothing but ants. You only managed to obtain resources and heritage from what was left behind by your ancestors. It's because of mere inheritances that you think you're superior and know no fear. I'll teach you a lesson today about how weak humans are!"Chase grunted coldly, and the Thunder Sword appeared in his hand. Stepping forward, he lunged for the kill and swung his sword down.Weapons clashed, and sparks flew.Thorn's expression changed as he stumbled back a step. His arm was numb."The sword technique of a human is indeed exquisite. But such an unruly technique can only be used on low-level dark beasts. It won't be able to do anything to me." Thorn put his hands together, and a dark battle spear formed. The spear kept flashing with light like a venomous snake flicking its tongue.He moved quickly and lunged at Chase for the kill.The look in Chase's eye
"You shouldn't have left the sect like that, Chloe. What if the elders punish you?""This is all because of me, Kara. If I didn't leave, you would've gotten into trouble too…""Don't be silly. You're my junior. I can't stand by and watch you die."The women's words caught Chase's attention."Huh? It's them…"He raised an eyebrow, not expecting them to be hiding deep inside the valley.However, Chase quickly realized something, and a glint flashed in his eyes. He quietly said to himself, "They're martial artists too! Even though they're only early-stage martial gods, they possess the Energy of Drago Tiger. They must have taken some spiritual herbs and refined them."These were no ordinary women. They had a powerful background, so it was not unusual for them to possess some treasures. After all, a martial god had a long lifespan. Common herbs that were easily found would not be able to fulfill their needs."I don't care how unhappy you are, reveal yourself right now," Chase said
The lion's massive body flew off into the air.Chase lunged forward. His left hand was curved into a claw as he grabbed the lion's head. He pulled hard with his hand despite having a sword in his right.Blood splattered everywhere.Using sheer strength, he separated the lion's head from its body and flung it to the side.This caught the attention of many dark beasts that were martial gods."Huh? This human martial god looks really powerful. If we can get such a young elite to be our servant, we can make use of him for quite a while."Chase's slaughtering had crossed the line of most of these dark beasts.Powerful demon energy immediately burst from every corner of the valley. It gathered within the valley and formed into a dark chain of demon energy that came falling on Chase like a net to kill him.Chase swung the Purple Lightning Blade. The blade's flash exploded to every corner and destroyed the demon energy.There was a sharp look in Chase's eyes as he noticed something st
Chase knew that among all the shadow beasts in the region, these creatures provided the greatest challenge for honing his strength.The more powerful the beast, the stronger its physique, and its blood essence carried immense energy. Consuming it could bring tremendous benefits to a martial god.However, the area where he had just fought was still on the outermost edges of the Forbidden Zone, meaning there were no truly formidable shadow beasts nearby.Another deafening beastly cry shattered the silence, shaking the heavens.A massive shadow loomed over Chase, blocking out the sunlight and forcing him to squint against the darkness.His brows furrowed, and when he looked up, his pupils contracted sharply.A colossal black eagle soared above, its wings flaring like razor-sharp blades, dominating the skies with imperial arrogance.This shadow beast's aura was even more terrifying than that of an ordinary martial god-level beast!It had reached the peak of stage-nine martial god!
"Stay… Stay back!"The white-robed young man was terrified, stumbling backward in panic."What are you all standing there for?! Save me!" He screamed, his voice filled with desperation.Finally snapping out of his daze, the black-robed martial artist lunged at Chase, his palm slicing through the air in a powerful strike. However, he underestimated Chase's strength.With a single impact, the man's entire arm shattered into dust. He let out a miserable scream as his body was sent flying!Chase's attacks were too swift, too fierce. Even with the two of them working together, they could not withstand his power!"Run!"The last remaining martial artist in green robes was so frightened that his soul nearly left his body.He turned to flee without hesitation.Chase chased him down in an instant, delivering a powerful whip-like kick that knocked him unconscious on the spot.Then, he grabbed both lifeless bodies and tossed them into the undergrowth. Only after dealing with them did he
Hearing this, Chase immediately understood the situation. They were trying to rob him!He spread his hands casually. "Oh, that thing? I already ate it."Beside him, Emilia nearly burst out laughing. This guy was too good at bluffing!Chase rolled his eyes. "If you want it so badly, why don't you come take it?""You refuse to cooperate? Fine, I'll make you regret it!" The young man in white robes grew furious, his expression turning ice-cold. "You little bastard! Don't think I'm afraid of you just because you practice martial arts! If you don't hand it over, I'll break your damn legs today!""Oh? Is that so?" Chase grinned, showing his teeth. "In that case, why don't we spar a little?""You're asking for death!" The white-robed young man charged at him, his companion following closely behind.A terrifying surge of spiritual energy exploded outward.Chase narrowed his eyes. With one punch, he sent both of them flying backward with a loud bang!"W-What?! This is peak… martial god
The young woman's face flushed red as she hastily pulled her collar together, her wary gaze locked onto Chase."Are you a body-refining martial artist? Attacking me like that was despicable, shameless, and downright vile! I'll kill you to uphold justice!" she shouted indignantly.Chase let out a helpless chuckle. "Miss, I just saved your life, yet instead of thanking me, you call me despicable?"The woman stiffened, her lips parting as if to argue. In the end, however, she lowered her head and muttered an apology, "I lost my composure. Please forgive me."After saying this, she retrieved a dagger from her robe and handed it to Chase. Her expression seemed sincere."My name is Emilia Larsen. This was left to me by my parents. Consider it my way of repaying you for saving my life. I hope you won't refuse it. This dagger is exceptionally sharp—it can slice through iron like it's mud. Keep it safe and don't lose it.""Oh?" Chase raised an eyebrow as he accepted the dagger, examining
