Martial artists' true energy and inner strength refinement resulted in an extremely complex and changeable series of attacks. Leon's strength was only marginally greater than Leopard's, and if Leon relied solely on explosive strength, he would almost certainly fall short of Leopard!Leopard's fear vanished when he realized this. He raised his machete and began slashing at Leon.Leon was eager to put an end to things as soon as possible, so he slashed Leopard's attack without dodging it.As the two machetes collided, there was a loud clang and sparks flew."Time to bring you to your knees!" Leopard gave a menacing grin and began to pump true energy into his body. He charged toward Leon with the machete in his hand, attempting to use his true energy to attack Leon again.Leon's moves were becoming predictable, and Leon would be unable to withstand the second attack due to his lack of martial arts training. Leon was almost certain to lose!"You should be the one who brings them to t
Could someone like Leon still be considered human?Leopard once overcame 17 or 18 opponents on his own, thus making a name for himself through that one battle and cementing himself as an all-powerful existence! However, Leon beat 30 or 40 people by himself, and the very same Leopard was among his main opponents!One could imagine how terrifying Leon's strength was!At that moment, everyone was dumbstruck by Leon's bravery and invincible power!"Jess, is this... happening? I-I-I-I'm not d-d-d-dreaming, am I..." Jess's boyfriend stammered and his entire body trembled with fright. He finally realized how stupid he was when he recalled his foolish plan to teach Leon a lesson! Fortunately for him, he was one step slower than Leopard's men, otherwise he would have been the first to lie unconscious on the ground!"Babe, he's... He's too violent! We should stay away and avoid being seen by him..." Jess's face turned pale with fright, and she quickly pulled her boyfriend to one side and hi
Leon thought that the enemy brought in reinforcements. His heart tensed up and he had his guard up, but he soon realized that the other side seemed rather familiar.He took a closer look and immediately recognized that they were none other than Iris's six bodyguards."Miss! We're sorry for being late, Miss. Please do excuse our actions..."The six bodyguards knelt on one knee in front of Iris and had thoroughly displeased looks on their faces.The scenic spot was a public place with many people, making it an unlikely place for any gangsters to commit misdeeds. Moreover, Iris generally did not allow them to get too close to him, so they ended up being a little careless, and stood guard only as close as in the periphery.It was not until Leon fought with Leopard and the gang that the ruckus alerted them. Fortunately, Leon protected Iris relatively well in their absence. If the situation turned awry, they would probably be the ones to blame!"Get up! It's not your fault. I was the o
Leopard had a panic-stricken look on his face, and he trembled with fear.The aura that those bodyguards exuded were very powerful, and there were faint waves of true energy that belied the fact that they were all martial artists!Their refinement fundamentals were very good too, and Shane's was the highest and most enigmatic of them all! Leopard would easily be crushed in the face of those skilled fighters. The desperation in his heart was indescribable, and he did not dare to muster the courage to resist!"I didn't know your true identity, Miss Young. I didn't mean to offend you. Please show us some mercy and spare us just this once..." Leopard's face was ashen, and he quickly knelt in front of Iris to beg for mercy.He was a martial artist for so many years and made many enemies along the way. If his limbs were broken, death was almost a certainty for him in the future, and even his wife and children will suffer together with him!The consequence was too big a burden for him to
"On the other hand, those four people we met on the mountain are truly the scum of society, and they can't be forgiven that easily!"Leon has always drawn a clear line when it came to grudges. Leopard might have cut him, but at least Leopard had slightly more morals and principles. They merely had a different outlook when it comes to the way they carried themselves, and such differences were not sufficient enough a reason for him to kill Leopard.On the contrary, the four men he beat up on the mountain earlier had no principles and moral bottom line. Such people could potentially become the scourge of society, which necessitated a severe punishment!"Okay. I'll go with your decision..." Iris nodded after being persuaded by Leon."Thank you very much, Mister Wolf. I promise to remember your kindness today. If there's anything you ever need, I, Felix Leopard Moneta, will give you my word that I'll do everything in my power to help you, even if it means having to cross a sea of fire!"
Amazingly, the wound was already scabbed all over and seemed to have improved greatly even though it was not long since Leon suffered the injury."The wounds on your back have closed up, Leon! Your recovery is amazingly quick!" Iris was surprised.She clearly remembered that Leon was stabbed in the chest when he saved her during their first encounter. At that time, his scar healed and fell off in just one day, leaving almost no trace whatsoever.Seeing it happen a second time was simply too unbelievable for Iris!"Maybe it's because I'm a bit more physically fit than normal people, hence the faster recovery speed..." Leon's immediately realized that it was most probably related to his practice of refining spiritual energy."Makes sense." Iris nodded and did not think much of it.She then stretched out her fair-skinned hand and gently massaged the ointment on Leon's back. Her hands rubbed up and down, all over, and it did not take too long for her to finish applying the ointment f
The dress that Lily wore was quite fashionable, and although they were not high-end luxury-brand clothes, they suited her charming temperament perfectly and bestowed on her a simple allure.It was the first time that Leon has truly seen Lily's true beauty. She might not be as hot and tempting as Iris and Ariel when it came to her figure, but her looks were almost on par with Ariel's and she was up there with the latter in terms of beauty!"Leon, is… something wrong?" Lily blushed when she sensed Leon's fiery gaze and her heart began pounding nervously. She lowered her head instantly and did not dare to look into Leon's eyes again.Ever since Leon came to her aid all those times, she unwittingly began to develop some feelings for the tall and handsome Leon. Since it was the first time that she invited him to her home as a guest, she deliberately dressed herself up to leave a good impression on him.Leon's reaction proved that her efforts were not in vain, and a slight sense of joy a
Bowden watched from behind as Lily walked away with Leon, and he clenched his fists tightly with a resentful expression."You just have to be stubborn, don't you? Since you're so eager to get yourself in trouble, I guess I ought to make your wish come true!" Bowden had a grim look on his face as he took out his cell phone and started making some calls.Lily and Leon walked side by side toward Lily's house."Bowden's always been petty and vengeful. I was told that a cousin of his is a very powerful figure. Now that he's holding a grudge against you, you need to be extra careful whenever you run into him in the future," Lily reminded worriedly.Her family was longtime neighbors with Bowden's family, and she knew a bit about Bowden's family background because both sides used to have a good relationship with each other. In recent years, however, Bowden's family finances became increasingly better. As a result, they rarely came back to their old home ever since they bought two new house
"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
