However, Shea knew very well that all this was possible only because of the man before him."I'll hand everything over to you now," Chase instructed before disappearing in a flash.He next appeared in the presidential suite of the hotel."Are you alright, Master Collins?"Bianca quickly went toward him when she saw Chase had returned.Just as she was about to get near Chase, she suddenly stopped."What's wrong?" Chase asked when he saw this."Mr. Collins, it… feels like a lot of killing and bloodshed has happened to you. It's frightening!" Bianca was stammering.How did she know?Chase wondered about this.She did not see what had happened at the back. If she had not seen it, she would not be able to know how many people he had killed."Her Dragon Song Physique is starting to awaken. The killing intent on you has lost control after you killed so many people. It's only normal that she's able to see it. "Now that her Dragon Song Physique has started to awaken, she'll die in
In the dead of night, there was a knock on the door.Chase, sensing who was outside, immediately knew it was Bianca."Bianca, what's the matter?" he asked without opening the door.At that moment, Chase was still enveloped in strong murderous intent and didn't want to face her directly.However, his hesitation made Bianca even more concerned. She thought something might be wrong with him and quickly asked, "Mr. Collins, are you alright?""I'm fine. Don't worry," Chase reassured her, thinking that would be the end of it.To his surprise, Bianca paced back and forth outside the door a few times before mustering the courage to speak, "Mr. Collins, you can come to my room anytime you want. I'll be waiting for you!"Chase was momentarily stunned by her words before he explained, "Ms. Cooper, really, there's no need to worry. I'm fine."I just killed a lot of Eastern Oceanians today, so my murderous intent is a bit out of control. It's the red mist you saw earlier."It doesn't affec
A woman who was being manhandled by men in black suits shouted loudly, "Let me go!"The men ignored her and tossed her out of the mall without hesitation."How dare you?! Do you even know who I am? I'm the heir of the Orienta family, and you dare treat me like this? You must have a death wish!" Another young man, dressed only in pants and bare-chested, was dragged out by the men in black.He had been trying on clothes when he was suddenly thrown out.The sight enraged the young man immediately invoked his family name. The Orienta family was a notable force in Ozark, but the men in black remained indifferent and unceremoniously threw him out of the mall."You... Who the hell are you people? How dare you behave like this in broad daylight? Do you really think the law doesn't apply to you? Just wait until I get my grandfather involved!" The young man, who was still on the ground, threatened to call his family."Yorels Organization has business here. Leave now," one of the men in bla
Inside Gillard Mall, which had been completely cleared out, store owners gathered in small groups. They were curious about the identity of the incoming visitors."Who could be so important that they cleared out the entire mall?" one store owner wondered."I heard big shots from Yorels Organization are coming here to shop. If they stop by my store, I might make a fortune!" another replied, aware that such VIPs rarely cared about prices."Get real. Your store only sells trendy brands. There's no way someone like that would be interested. My store is more their style," someone else quickly countered.At that moment, Chase and Bianca entered the mall, instantly drawing the attention of every store owner. They all stared in disbelief."Are they the mysterious big shots from Yorels Organization? How can they be so young?" they murmured among themselves.They had assumed that anyone at the helm of Yorels Organization would be at least in their 40s or 50s, if not older.The idea that su
Seeing the two seated in the front car, Chase quietly whispered to Bianca, "Be careful later."When Chase had assessed Julep earlier, he unexpectedly noticed that not far from them, there was another true master present.Since this individual had not revealed themselves, Chase immediately understood that they were not aligned with Yorels Organization. He did not dwell on it further but advised Bianca to stay alert.The vehicles started moving toward Yorels Organization's headquarters in East Capital. As expected, the unidentified true master began following them as soon as their cars started.As the convoy picked up speed, so did the trailing vehicle, maintaining a close pursuit.After a short while, Julep, who was in the leading car, seemed to realize they were being followed. Perhaps due to Yorels Organization's dominant status in East Capital, Julep brazenly ordered the car to stop in the middle of the road.He then stepped out, standing directly in the street and waiting for
"So what if I did?" Chase responded calmly."At least you're admitting to it. In that case, you'll be buried with my Sonar Organization!" With that declaration, Eli was ready to strike when Julep suddenly stepped forward, subtly positioning himself between Eli and Chase."Eli, are you sure you want to take on both of us? Even though you're a powerful late-stage true master of martial arts and I can't fight you one-on-one, if I team up with him, you won't come out unscathed."I advise you to back off now, or the consequences won't be something you alone can handle," Julep warned.Eli laughed mockingly. "Julep, are you joking around with me? Do you really think true masters are as simple as that? This kid is so young—barely a true master. At best, he's only reached the first or second stage. Do you really want to fight me for him?"Julep was momentarily stunned by Eli's words. He knew Eli was right. Even if he joined forces with this young man, they wouldn't stand a chance against E
Eli's hand chop descended swiftly, but just three inches from Chase's head, it was blocked by a pale cyan-colored barrier.Chase remained expressionless, coldly staring at Eli."You have some kind of treasure on you?" Eli assumed that the barrier was a protective artifact on Chase.Seeing his attack fail, he shouted, "Hidden Mist Technique!"A puff of green smoke flashed, and Eli vanished from sight."To think that Eli had to resort to the Hidden Mist Technique... The treasure on this kid must be something extraordinary. But it's over now. Our nation's Hidden Mist Technique is unmatched. "This kid might have blocked a direct attack, but under the mist, where the assault is undetectable, he's done for," Julep muttered in astonishment from the sidelines.He had originally thought that Eli would take down Chase with a single strike, but he had not expected Chase to block the seemingly fatal blow with his protective artifact.Chase did not fully understand what this so-called Hidd
Julep's apology on his knees was met with indifference from Chase, who returned to the backseat of the Alphard as if nothing had happened. He simply casually closed the door behind him.Seeing that Chase was not going to make trouble for him, Julep sighed in relief, feeling lucky to have escaped unscathed. As his relief settled in, curiosity about Chase's true identity began to grow. Such a powerful young man could not possibly be a nobody.Thankfully, Shea was quick to read the situation. Realizing that Chase had no interest in dealing with Julep, Shea quickly got out of the car and walked over to Julep."Mr. Longford, isn't Mr. Payne waiting for us? We should hurry so as not to keep him waiting," Shea said.Julep, who had lost his earlier arrogance, nodded immediately. "Yes, let's go."The rest of the journey was uneventful. Before long, the vehicles arrived at a sprawling estate. The entrance was heavily guarded by Yorels Organization members, who, upon seeing the approaching
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
