"Well, George, you never thought I'd have backup, did you? I've already allied with the Fields—otherwise, why would I dare to attack Leon and risk going against you—the Collins?" Harold cackled. "Harold, you crook!" George's heart sank as he took in a deep breath. He was in such a rush that he only managed to bring a dozen or so martial artists with him, but the Fields were different—they brought most, if not all, of their best fighters with them! Besides Walter, another one of the Fields' master martial artists, Denzel, who was also at the Overlord State, joined the battle, along with a few other warriors at the Semi Overlord State. With the Fields, Harold, and Melvin combining forces, the three of them could easily take down any of the major families in Springfield City! Even if George brought all of the Collins' best fighters along with him, they still would not be a match for Harold at all! There was no doubt who would be the winner in this battle! "Thank you, George!
"Leon, the others and I will help you fend them off, and you take Jacob hostage, then try to find a way to escape with Ruth and Iris," George instructed in a low voice. Not only were Leon and the Collins working hand in hand, but Leon even risked his life to sneak into the Youngs and rescue Ruth from Jacob! Therefore, there was no way George could stand by and watch idly when Leon fell into Harold and the Fields' hands! Fortunately, Leon managed to capture Jacob, God knows how! With Jacob as a hostage, and with George, who was already at the Intermediate Overlord state, leading the rest of the Collins' martial artists, they could fend off the opposition momentarily, and Leon would have a chance to escape with the two women! Once Leon got to safety, there would be plenty of time for him and the Collins to come up with a plan to take revenge! "There's no need to escape! Don't worry, Elder Collins, I'll take care of Harold and the Fields. You just have to help me with one thing
However, now, Harold already blocked off all their escape routes, and Leon would never be able to run away even if he wanted to! "Let me warn you, Leon Wolf—let go of my son right now, or else I'll make sure you, Iris, and the rest of her family die alongside him!" Harold snapped, his expression ruthless. "Let go of Jacob? In your dreams! I've already told you—I will kill your son right before your eyes so that you'll be able to taste for yourself just how it feels to lose a loved one! I'm a man of my word!" Leon scoffed as he lifted Jacob off the ground by his neck. "Don't you dare, Leon Wolf! If you do so, my father will rip you into shreds!" Jacob exclaimed, writhing as he gazed at Leon with a look of pure hatred. Now that Harold and the Fields were at a clear advantage, Jacob grew even more confident that Leon would not dare to hurt him. he was not an idiot, after all! He had nothing to worry about! "You'll find out soon enough! You bastard—not only did you almost kill L
George let out a cry, then sent out a punch in retaliation straight toward Harold without a second thought. "Old George, you should be fighting us instead!" Walter scoffed. He and Denzel sprang into action, leaping right into George's path. "Leon, what are you standing there for? Run!" Ruth screamed in frustration, then reached out to grab hold of Leon, but he did not budge. "Harold, now that Jacob’s dead, you're next!" a glimmer of malice flashed through Leon's eyes and he sprinted straight toward Harold, his arm cocked back in a fist. "Die, you twat!" Harold yelled with bloodshot eyes. He knew that Leon was only at the Peak Supreme State and could never withstand his Thunder Strike! Now that Leon willingly stepped up to the battle, this was exactly what Harold wanted. He immediately channeled more power into his fist, intending to kill Leon once and for all! "Leon, you idiot!" George almost exploded in anger at this sight. He risked everything to save Leon, even at the
Neither of them ever thought, not even in their wildest dreams, that not only would Leon survive Harold's attack, he even managed to injure him instead! Harold already attained the Overlord State, and yet he fell victim to Leon! One could only imagine the immense shock everyone was experiencing now! The entire place fell into an eerie silence. Even George, Walter, and Denzel, who were engaged in combat up until now, stopped to stare in Leon's direction, unable to believe their eyes. "Harold, are you okay?" Daisy was the first to break out of her stupor. She quickly sprung into action and quickly helped Harold up. "This isn't possible!" Harold staggered to his feet, trying to stifle the pain in his chest. Despite managing to get back on his feet, he felt as though his entire mind was stirred upside down by this. He could not believe that he, a warrior in the Initial Overlord State, lost to Leon! This was unbelievable! Harold found it difficult to accept his fact.
If Leon managed to attain the Overlord State at such a young age, there was no limit as to what he could achieve if he had more time! It would not be long before he attained the Intermediate Overlord State and even surpass the three of them in his martial arts training! If that happened, not only would he be the youngest person in the entire Springfield City history to do so, but he would no doubt dominate the entire city! This was an impressive and scary feat! "That's good, that's good! Leon, you've already attained the Overlord State. I'm proud of you!" Iris was over the moon to hear this. She wrapped her arms around Leon's elbow, utterly shaken by ecstasy. All her despair and distress dissipated at this realization. The truth was, just the night before, Leon made it clear to her that he would be able to attain a new level in his martial arts training in a month, and then he would be able to help her return to her family! However, because a month seemed too short of a ti
"So what if he's at the Overlord State? "Leon Wolf, you killed my son, and today, I'm going to scatter your remains!" Harold's gaze was filled with hatred. "You? Don't make a fool out of yourself!" Leon scoffed, taking no notice of Harold's threat at all. "Don't be so cocky, Leon Wolf! Even though you've already attained the Overlord State, we still have plenty of other martial artists who have already attained the Overlord and Semi Overlord States here! No matter how powerful you are, there's no way you'll walk out of here alive!" Harold said with a dark expression as he finally regained his composure. "Um," George, Iris, and the others' smiles froze on their faces when they heard this. They knew that Harold was right—apart from Harold, he still had Walter, Denzel, and Melvin with him, who were all warriors of the Overlord State as well. Not only that, but he had a dozen or so martial artists who attained the Semi Overlord State and plenty of others who were members of the re
After all, a warrior of the Overlord State was not an easy opponent to go up against in battle, and Leon was still young and thus had plenty of potential for his future! If he continued to go against Leon, there was the risk of Leon surviving and coming back to get revenge on them once he gained power in the future! "Master Young, are you worried that the rest of the Youngs won't be able to match up against Leon? Don't worry—he's only just attained the Overlord State, and the reason I lost to him was because I still carried some old injuries from my previous fight, and I severely underestimated him! he's all of his own, and with the help of your fellow martial artists, you can defeat him easily!" Harold added. He was not an idiot, and could easily deduce that since Leon just attained the Overlord State, there was no doubt he was yet to gain full control over his powers and was thus vulnerable. However, the last time he ambushed Leon, he suffered serious injuries as a result of G
"Miss Morrison, I would like to thank you for saving my life," Iris said as she approached Renee's bed. She meant to thank Renee for having saved her so narrowly from death during their encounter with one of Brahma's clones, which was why she lingered in Renee's room even after everyone left. "Miss Young, if you would truly like to return the favor, there is something you can do for me," Renee said, biting her lip as though what she was about to say was an excruciatingly difficult decision to make."What is it?" Iris asked, although she felt like she already knew what was the answer. "I would like to join you in being Leon's companions," Renee said with an expectant look. She harbored feelings toward Leon for some time now but refrained from competing against Iris and Cynthia, knowing there was no way she could win. However, she had an epiphany after her narrow escape from death and realized that there was so much more to life than competing with other women over a man. Therefor
"Nothing is impossible! It's high time you accept your fate, you old git! Take this! The Phoenix Sky Fist!" Leon merely scoffed at him. The next moment, he directed one last attack at Wulfric in the form of his most powerful move—the Phoenix Sky Fist, a sage technique belonging to the Heavenly Class!A cloud of pulsating energy charged straight toward Wulfric, without any mercy toward his cries of horror!Its sole intent was to destroy him and put an end to this battle!"No—" Wulfric let out a bloodcurdling scream as he watched, defenseless, as the Phoenix Sky Fist soared toward him. His first instinct was to leap out of harm's way, but Leon was far too powerful for him and anticipated this beforehand. Not to mention the Phoenix Sky Fist was one of the most powerful moves belonging to the Heavenly Class, and there was no possible way he could escape from its wrath.Wulfric's limp body only left a few feet off the ground when the Phoenix Sky Fist crashed into him, rendering his body
"Haha! I've finally attained the Saint State! Now it's time for you to die, you old git!" A glimmer of malice flashed through Leon's eyes. When he fixated his gaze on Wulfric's face, it sent a shudder down Wulfric's entire body, for Leon's eyes were like two pits of deep, dark, sinister hatred. "How cocky of you to say that, you twat! So what if you attained the Saint State? You haven't even got time to harness your powers yet, so you're no match for me! Take this!" Wulfric scoffed, taking no notice of Leon's threats at all. Then, without another moment's hesitation, he sent a powerful surge of energy pummeling Leon's way, intending to destroy Leon while his defenses were low!"He's right. So what if he's attained the Saint State? He can't even control his powers properly," the rest of the Chanters all agreed, and felt rather relieved by this. The glimmer of hope that ignited briefly within Pierre, Zach, and the rest was immediately doused after hearing the Chanters' words. Wulf
"Hahaha! This ends here—once and for all!" Wulfric broke out into a manic cackle of laughter upon seeing Pierre's defeat. The defeat of Pierre, Zach, and his two lackeys had no doubt instilled a newfound triumph in him, for the four of them combined were his greatest opponents thus far, and now that he rendered them powerless, there was no longer anyone in his way!Not even Leon, Percival, Alastair, or the rest of their comrades could defeat him! He and the Chanters would go on, unstopped, to dominate the world!One could only imagine his ecstasy at finally fulfilling his dream at long last!"All hail Master Chanter!""All hail Master Chanter!""All hail Master Chanter!" Aiken and the rest of the Chanters erupted into thunderous applause and cheers of sheer elation. "Oh no!""We can't possibly stand a chance!" Percival, Alastair, and the rest on the good side felt their hearts sink at the thought of their impending doom. Although they outnumbered the Chanters by a significant m
Gulp!Taking advantage of the moment, Leon decisively took out a Holy Spirit Pill and swallowed it. Initially, he intended to use an Essential Detox Pill to help Pierre, Zach, and the other two Semi-Saint State fighters counteract the poison. However, with Pierre injured by Wulfric and Zach along with the other two severely wounded and out of combat, even if he cured them, their side was still doomed to defeat.In this desperate situation, he could only take a gamble. He hoped that, with the breakthrough signs he felt in his martial arts bottleneck, the Holy Spirit Pill would help him break through the sage arts barrier or raise his power level to the Great Crossing Phase. This might be their only chance at victory."Mister Wolf, as long as there's life, there's hope. I'll try my best to hold off Wulfric. You must escape now and find a way to avenge us later."Pierre, enduring his injuries and the poison, stood up with a determined look on his face. He knew that their side was alre
"You're courting death!"Wulfric, enraged by Leon's fierce attack and the slaying of Central Boss, had no choice but to halt his assault on Pierre and the other three momentarily. He turned and unleashed a powerful palm strike, its overwhelming force aimed squarely at Leon's Phoenix Sky Fist.Boom!The collision between Leon's Phoenix Sky Fist and Wulfric's attack was explosive. In an instant, Wulfric's strike shattered Leon's Phoenix Sky Fist, and its residual force hurtled toward Leon."Not good!"Leon’s expression changed drastically as he rapidly tried to evade. However, with Wulfric's Saint State power level, evading was futile. No matter where he ran, he was unable to get out of the attack range. The residual force of Wulfric's true energy struck Leon, sending him flying and crashing heavily to the ground.Cough! Cough!As Leon hit the ground, a wave of intense pain surged through his chest, causing him to cough up two mouthfuls of blood. It was clear he suffered significa
Whoosh!Compared to Percival and Alastair's heavy hearts, Leon remained relatively calm. In the past, he killed Poisonwielder and specifically crafted a potent antidote, the Essential Detox Pill, to counteract Reaper's Breath.He happened to have a few dozen of these pills on him. Though Pierre and the others were poisoned by Reaper's Breath, as long as Leon could get the antidote to them in time, they still stood a chance to win.With this in mind, Leon did not waste any time. He stopped fighting with Central Boss, leaped up, and quickly rushed toward Pierre and the others to deliver the antidote."Leon, are you planning to run away? Well, do you think it's going to be that easy?" Central Boss misunderstood Leon's actions, thinking he intended to escape. Given how much he hated Leon, he was not going to let Leon get away so easily.Without a second thought, Central Boss dashed forward, resolutely blocking Leon once again. With Wulfric having reversed the situation and forcing Pie
"Pierre, you have pushed me to this! Since that's the case, don't blame me for what I'm going to do next! You all can go to hell!" Wulfric's expression turned grim when he saw the Chanter fighters in a dire and dangerous situation. He knew he had to end this battle quickly to avoid significant casualties among the Chanter descendants.Thus, he decided not to hold back. He waved his two hands, releasing two clouds of white mist that surged forward, engulfing Pierre, Zach, and the other two. The white mist transformed into a flurry of powder, like a shower of flowers, enveloping the four of them."What's this?""This is bad, it's poison!"Realizing the unusual nature of the white powder, Pierre and Zach were alarmed.Immediately, the four of them held their breath and swiftly retreated, trying to escape the range of the white mist and powder. Unfortunately, it was too late! The white powder and mist seeped everywhere, and being too close to Wulfric, they already inhaled a signific
"How dare a loser like you be so arrogant? I'll teach you to be humble!"Leon sneered contemptuously. Central Boss clashed with him twice before, each time ending with Central Boss being injured and fleeing. Thus, Leon did not take his attack seriously at all.Without hesitation, he pointed a finger and unleashed the Advanced Earth Class sage technique, Earthly Plunder. Sharp and fierce energy condensed at his fingertip, roaring as it met Central Boss's attack head-on!Bang!Leon's Earthly Plunder clashed solidly with Central Boss's Soul-Piercing Claw in a violent collision. However, unlike previous encounters, this time Leon's technique did not break through Central Boss's attack; instead, it was shattered by it!Not only that! The Dragon Pill he recently took did not fully manifest itself yet, so not only did Central Boss's Soul-Piercing Claw shatter Leon's Earthly Plunder but also sent him staggering back.Leon struggled to regain his footing, retreating three or four steps be
