"Hahaha—" Leon could not help bursting into laughter when he heard this. "What are you laughing about, Leon?" both Walter and Harold turned to glare at him. "I'm laughing at how stupid you are! Harold, I won't hesitate to tell you that the Lowes are dead meat today, and yet you have the audacity to promise the Fields that you'll combine forces with them in the future!" Leon replied, sneering. "What? What on earth are you talking about? How’s this possible?" Harold gasped, unsure of what Leon talked about. "Of course it's possible! When I came here, I'd already notified Vincent, the Southern King, and instructed him to raid your hideout while you're here. If things went well, I'm guessing he must've gotten ahold of your entire territory by now!" Leon snickered. Ever since he found out about Iris and Ruth's capture, he guessed that Harold must have set up an ambush at the Youngs' and waited for him to fall into this trap! Since Harold set up this eloquent plan, this meant t
"I-" Harold was so outraged that his entire face turned scarlet, and he opened his mouth to say something but spat out a mouthful of blood instead. The truth was, his initial plan was flawless, but for some reason, Leon's power level advanced to the Intermediate Overlord State without warning, and this disrupted all of his plans! He just got one detail wrong, but this caused him to lose to Leon entirely! Seeing that Harold was defeated, Denzel whispered, "Walter, Harold’s dying soon. I think we'd better escape while we can." "Yes, let's go now!" Walter came to a decision very swiftly. Now that Harold lost everything, there was nothing he could offer to the Fields anymore, so of course he would not be willing to go against Leon for nothing! Besides, with the Southern King's arrival, Leon rose to an even more advantageous position with the addition of another martial artist at the Overlord State! There was no better time for the Fields to escape! Harold's heart sank when he
"I, Vincent Poole, will always stand by his side!" Vincent sneered as he stepped forward. Leon helped him plenty of times in the past, so even though he knew the Fields were very powerful enemies that one should not cross, he still decided to stand by Leon's side. "Vincent, do you honestly want to make the Fields your enemy? I'm afraid you're not powerful enough to match up against us!" Walter scoffed and took no notice of Vincent's threats at all. "Well, if the Southern King is not a match for you, how about the Collins? Perhaps this will change your mind!" George sneered and stepped forward as well. "Old George, are you insisting on crossing the Fields as well?" Walter's expression turned dark. He knew that Leon already attained the Intermediate Overlord State, whereas Vincent was at the Initial Overlord State. If Vincent were the only one helping Leon, they would be no match for the Fields at all, but things would be different with the Collins joining! Not only were they
"Take care of this yourself? How are you going to do that?" Vincent was stunned to hear this and did not believe his own ears. He could not understand how Leon had the balls to face the Fields all by himself!"Don't worry, I have my ways! It's just the Fields, I can still take care of them easily!" Leon let out an arrogant laugh as his aura surged around him. The contempt in his eyes when he glanced at the Fields was evident."What? You're going to defeat us all by yourself? How cocky you are, Leon Wolf!" Walter snickered at this. Denzel and the rest of the Fields were equally as outraged to hear this."Leon, have you gone insane?" Vincent's jaw dropped. He was not here when Leon demonstrated his incredible display of power, and thus he did not know that Leon already attained the Intermediate Overlord State!All he knew was that Leon was still at the Peak Supreme State, and he did not understand how Leon had the guts to go up against each and every one of the Fields! Did this man h
Iris was worried that Leon would not be able to hold up against the Fields and would get injured during the process. "No, he'll be fine," George replied. Knowing that Leon was already at the Intermediate Overlord State, although he would probably not be able to defeat the Fields all by himself, it was highly unlikely that the Fields would hurt him so badly to sustain any permanent or severe damage. "But," Iris was still unconvinced. "Don't worry, Iris, that Leon’s being too arrogant! If he insists on taking on the Fields himself, that'll teach him a lesson," Ruth said, trying to console her. "Yes, Ruthie’s right. Leon’s being too cocky, and he needs some experience of failure to grow. This will be beneficial for him!" George nodded in agreement. It was natural for Leon to behave so arrogantly, having attained such great heights at such a young age! If Leon experienced his first failure with the Fields, it would allow him to mature and become more down-to-earth in the future!
Denzel quickly understood Walter's signal and secretly circled behind everyone until he stood behind Leon, in the perfect position to strike unnoticed. Leon did not notice any of Walter and Denzel's schemes at all. Instead, he charged forward, channeling his true energy as he met the Fields head-on. "Thud! Thud! Thud—" The first few people at the lead were blasted away by Leon's powerful energy, but the Fields did not slow down their advances. Instead, the men in the second and third rows sped up their attacks and managed to block Leon's powerful blow. "Die, Leon Wolf!" Walter struck at this exact moment. He cocked his arm back and sent a powerful wave of energy surging Leon's way. Since Leon was on par with him in terms of power, it would not be easy for Walter to kill Leon once and for all. Therefore, he specifically instructed the Fields to be at the forefront, so that Leon would be distracted while he unleashed his attack, and this would likely trigger Leon to meet him h
"He wouldn't have to die if only he was modest!""There's a price to challenging the Fields' authority!"...The crowd sighed and turned to look at Leon as though they were looking at a fool.Leon reached the Intermediate Overlord State and though he might not be as powerful as Walter, he was young and far more flexible and had better reflexes compared to Walter. If he stalled, Walter might not be able to do anything to him; however, not only had Leon challenged dozens of martial artists from the Fields, he tried to fight Walter with his true energy when he was clearly on the inferior end of such a stand-off.'How foolish! If Leon dies at the hands of Elder Fields and Denzel, he asks for it!' The others thought.Under the watchful and condescending eyes of the crowd, Leon's Double Attack met Walter's attack.He barely managed to fend off Walter's attack with his spiritual energy and just as he was about to run out of spiritual energy, he summoned his true energy at the Initial I
He would have never believed it if he did not see it with his own eyes.Next to him, Vincent was also shaken.He did not know that Leon reached the Overlord State and thought that he was on the Peak Supreme State at best.However, Walter, who was one of the top martial artists in the city, was defeated with ease by Leon before his eyes."H- How on earth does Leon manage this?" Ruth, too, gasped in shock.She thought that Leon was being arrogant, but after seeing how he defeated Walter, she realized that he had the confidence that he would succeed.She underestimated him when he was far stronger than she imagined him to be."No! This is impossible! This isn't real!" Harold's eyes widened at the sight before him.The higher he had his hope up, the harder the fall was.He fantasized about the scene where Walter and Denzel ambushed Leon and eliminate him right there and then, yet the reality shattered his hope.Not only was Leon safe and sound, he managed to injure Walter.The l
"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
