"Refuse? That's not up to you!" Tony said with a sneer.The moment he said that, as if he summoned them, the security guards in the company were mobilized. They immediately hurried over."Capture them!" Tony said with a wave as he ordered the young guards."Yes!" The guards acknowledged the order and immediately charged Leon with a fierce expression."Die!" Leon smiled angrily.He did not even bother using his spiritual energy, there was no need to. With a flick of his wrist, a wave of intermediate Innate State energy surged at the guards.Bang! Bang! Bang!There were a few violent crashes. A few regular guards were no match for Leon at all. They were sent flying by Leon and slammed into the ground heavily."Brat, no wonder you were so arrogant in front of me! You're a martial artist!" Tony realized when he quickly felt that Leon was a martial artist at the Innate State! "Tony, for Otis' sake, I'll give you one last chance! If you know what's good for you, apologize to Iris
"H-how is this possible?!" After landing on the ground, Tony clutched his broken arm and looked at Leon in disbelief. He thought that Leon was only at the intermediate Innate State, and that he would easily be able to defeat Leon!Yet, he never expected would have dreamed that Leon would not only be able to take his one strike from him at full force but even break his arm as well!It was obvious how shocked he was!"Tony, you had an easy way out, but you didn't take it! Since you want to die so badly, I'll grant you your wish!" Leon said coldly. After that, he walked right toward Tony.Every step he took felt like a hammer striking right at Tony's heart."Brat, w-what are you doing?" Tony paled. He started to show a shocked and scared expression on his face."What do you think? I came here to sincerely talk to you about buying your company. It's one thing for you to not want to be ethical, but you tried to forcibly take the women here. You're just crossing the line! I'll crippl
"Willie, you're here! This is great!" Tony was elated to see Willie appear. After that, he hurried over like he met his savior, kneeling in front of Willie."Tony, what happened here?!" Willie said in a serious voice.Tony was related to the Libertons by his mother, and Medicare Pharmaceuticals was one of the smaller businesses the Libertons own. Tony's father and the Libertons both had shares in the company.So, the moment Tony heard that someone was planning on purchasing the company, Tony immediately contacted Willie.He hurried over to check out the situation and stumbled upon what was happening.However, there were too many people in the room, so he did not notice Leon there just yet."It's like this. I was beaten up by a country bumpkin from Springfield City. You have to get revenge for me," Tony pointed at Leon and said viciously."It's you!" Willie looked toward where Tony was pointing, and his expression changed when he saw Leon."Willie, you know him?" tony was shoc
"Is that so? That's great!" Tony was elated to hear that!Even though he did not know how strong Leon was, he could easily guess it. Among the younger generation of direct descendants in the ancient martial arts families, most of them were at the Semi Overlord State or the initial Overlord State!Any young man who was able to even reach or exceed the intermediate Overlord state was practically a super genius. They were all incredibly famous young men!Leon was just an insignificant man from Springfield City. On top of that, Leon was young as well. No matter how strong Leon was, there was no way Leon could go against two guards at the intermediate Overlord State!"Brat, you're going to die today!" Willie smiled coldly.After that, he turned to the guards and ordered, "Help me cripple this guy. As long as you don't kill him, do whatever you can!"Willie knew that Leon was a relative of the Scammells. If he killed Leon, the Scammells would not let the matter rest!So, to avoid prov
Bang! With an intense clash, the guard from the front immediately got past the spiritual energy on Leon's first strike and slammed right into Leon's chest.Leon did not panic at all, moving slightly to take the blow with the Mirror of Sovereign.At the same time, he took advantage of his opponent having spent all his strength to use his second strike. A wave of energy at the level of the intermediate Innate State surged out of his fist, flamming violently on his opponent's chest!The guard looked like he was dealt a heavy blow. He spat out blood immediately, and his body flew several meters away, slamming on the ground!Right after that, there was intense pain in his chest. At least a few of his ribs were broken by Leon."H-how is this possible?!" Willie and Tony both widened their eyes at the sight. They were completely shocked.They thought that Leon would die, but they never expected Leon to get out of it unscathed and even manage to heavily injure the guard who was at the
"Careful, Leon!" the four girls screamed in warning. Even though all of them knew that Leon was a powerful fighter, they still could not help being worried when seeing Leon in imminent danger! "You're dead!" Leon scoffed. He did not have the time to retaliate and instead had no choice but to spiral around and angle his chest toward the attack, preparing to take it in stride. "You're the dead one, you punk!" the guard sneered as he cast Leon a disdainful glance. He could not believe this idiot chose to take on his attack with his chest without even trying to defend himself. Then, without a single moment's hesitation, the guard pressed a firm punch against Leon's chest with all his might. "It's finally over!" "That punk is dead, for sure!" Willie and Tony were both delighted to see Leon being struck, and it was as though a weight was lifted off their shoulders. They both knew that no matter how powerful Leon was, he was still a human, after all, and now that he took on
"How can this be?" both Willie and Tony's faces were ashen at this realization. Hope only set one up for disappointment. Just now, when that guard ambushed Leon, the two of them thought they could turn their fate around and defeat Leon, but the cruel face of reality was like a slap across their faces. At this moment, the hope that ignited within them dissipated! "Master, you better run! That punk seems to have some sort of protective treasure on him. I couldn't hurt him at all," The guard muttered as he spat out another mouthful of blood. He put two and two together, and it did not take long for him to figure out what Leon had. He was already at the Intermediate Overlord State, and yet Leon sustained barely a scratch when faced with his attack. There were only two possible explanations for this—one, that Leon's true power level far surpassed the Overlord State and possibly even reached the Emperor State, or second, that Leon possessed some kind of protective armor on him that
"If we go down, we go down together!" Willie gritted his teeth, then unleashed a surge of powerful energy that barreled straight toward Leon's direction. "Tsk, you wimp!" Leon scoffed at this. Instead of retreating, he lunged forward to meet Willie head-on and unleashed his Double Attack in Willie's direction. "Haha, you fell for it, you idiot!" all of a sudden, Willie pulled back. It turned out he unleashed his attack just to trick Leon into retaliation, and now that Leon used up his Double Attack, Willie pushed on his armrests, propelling his body into the air and, stifling the excruciating pain that shot through his legs, lunged straight toward Iris! "You rat!" the color drained from Leon's face as he realized that Willie targeted Iris all along! He quickly pulled back and tried to channel his energy into saving the girls, but by the time he did so, it was already too late—Willie already reached Iris's side! "Come here, my dear!" Willie cackled as he reached toward Iris
"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
