"I understand my mistake now, Leon, and I truly apologize for what I've done. Please forgive me, and show me mercy—just this once," Willie pleaded, no longer caring about how this would reflect on his status as master of the Libertons anymore. "What were you doing all this while, if you only managed to realize your mistake now? people like you don't deserve mercy! You'd better think about your sins and ask God for forgiveness instead!" Leon snarled, then, without a moment's hesitation, he raised his arm, intending to rid Willie of his powers right then and there. "Stop!" all of a sudden, someone yelled. Then, within a few seconds, a few men dashed toward them from afar. The two middle-aged men at the lead were none other than Wade Liberton, Willie's father, and Ted Jones, Tony's father. They were followed closely behind by a few of the Libertons' master martial artists, all of them emanating auras of power that shunned any who laid eyes on them. Although Tony was the gener
"How dare you, you punk? I'll give you one chance to let go of my son—if you do so, I might consider showing you mercy, but if you don't, you'll have to bear the consequences!" Wade snarled. The fact that Leon was with the Scammells and that he was the culprit who broke Willie's legs the day before made him want to tear Leon apart right that instant.However, considering Leon still had Willie within his grasp, Wade did not dare to act rashly lest he upset Leon and cause Willie harm. "Do you mean it?" Leon could not help wavering at this. The truth was, he had plenty of secret weapons with him, and coupled with his powers, it would not be difficult to defeat Wade and the others at all!However, he was not alone—he had the four girls with him, and he had to be cautious especially after Willie attacked Ruth and Iris!If he released Willie and both sides agreed to let this go, the outcome would be better than getting into another fight!If he did not relent and insisted on holding Wi
"Iris, leave!" Leon cried out, shooting the four girls a meaningful glance. "Okay," They immediately understood. They knew that neither of them would be of any help to Leon at all, on the contrary, their presence was even more of a burden to Leon because he needed to constantly keep an eye on them, so they quickly got up and retreated. To ensure their safety, Leon followed them, dragging Willie along as his hostage, and escorted them to the entrance. Wade, Ted, and the rest followed suit. Leon's car was parked at the roadside, and he gestured for the four girls to get in. "Please be careful, Leon," They said, worried about Leon's safety. "Don't worry. You all know better than anyone the extent of my powers!" Leon reassured them. "Yes, you're right," The four of them were reminded of just how powerful Leon was, and after getting that reassurance, they turned and got into the car. "Your friends are safe now, punk! You can let go of my son now!" Wade said impatiently, a gl
"Rats!" Leon staggered backward in an attempt to dodge Wade's attack, but unfortunately, his power level was too far off from Wade's, and although he managed to dodge just in time, he still could not fully get out of the full range of Wade's attack. Wade's attack scraped him in his chest, and the color immediately drained from Leon's face as he staggered backward. His throat tightened as he spat out a mouthful of bright, red blood. Thankfully, Wade's attack only brushed him, and with the Mirror of Sovereign as his shield, Leon suffered only minor injuries, nothing serious. "Huh? I can't believe you're fine after all that, you punk! You sure got lucky!" Wade gasped in surprise. Leon looked to be in his mid-twenties, and he could roughly guess that Leon was only at the Peak Supreme State or perhaps the Semi Overlord State at most, whereas he already attained the Peak Overlord State—he was one of the best martial artists among the second generation of the major families. With su
"Well, don't say I didn't warn you, punk! Since you have a death wish, I'll help you fulfill it!" Wade was outraged when he sensed Leon's disdain. Without another word, he unleashed a surge of immense power barrelling Leon's way. As long as he could incapacitate Leon right then and there, he would be able to claim the treasure as his own and save himself the trouble of having to deal with Leon any longer! "Perfect!" Leon scoffed at this. This time, he did not dodge anymore, and instead took a step forward, raising his fist to meet Wade's attack head-on! "Die, you punk!" a glimmer of malice flashed through Wade's eyes. Although he knew that Leon had a piece of ancient treasure shielding him, he, like his son, thought that it was only capable of shielding attacks from the Intermediate Overlord State or lower! After all, just the last tendrils of his previous attack managed to strike Leon so hard that he vomited blood! It was stupid of Leon to meet his attacks head-on; if any of
"How can this be?" Willie and Tony were utterly stunned by this. They rubbed their eyes, unable to believe what they saw! They witnessed Wade injuring Leon as easily as ABC just now, and thus thought that it would be simple for Wade to defeat Leon! It was beyond any of their wildest dreams to see Leon get away unscathed after receiving Wade's attack head-on, much less turn the entire situation around and almost cripple Wade! One could only imagine their shock! "What are you four doing there, zoning out? Come help!" Ted, being the first to break out of his stupor, turned and yelled at the four martial artists behind him. Although he was just a distant cousin of the Libertons and thus did not possess the Libertons' martial arts training that could rescue Wade, he could still place hope in the four martial artists to save him! "Yes, sir—" the four martial artists sprang into action, with two of them sprinting straight toward Leon and the other two running to help Wade. At thi
"Yes, sir!" Ted and the rest understood this, and immediately grabbed hold of Wade, Willie, and Tommy before running as fast as their legs would take them!"Rats!" seeing that Wade was getting away, Leon wanted to go after him, but unfortunately, he was being tied up by the two martial artists that were on his trail. After all, he was only at the Intermediate Overlord State, whereas the two martial artists before him were already Advanced Overlords and certainly not easy opponents to defeat.Although Leon had the Mirror of Sovereign with him and could easily keep them at bay, it was another thing entirely if he wanted to defeat them!However, there was still one way—he still had his most powerful weapon with him, which was the Potential Energy Forces that Master Haslewood gifted him!This was his most powerful secret weapon, but now, he only had two forces remaining, which made each of them all the more valuable, and he was not willing to waste them on defeating cheap crooks like
"What should we do now, Leon?" Cynthia asked. She and Leon came all the way here to buy out Medicare Pharmaceuticals, but now, after having gotten into a conflict with the Jones, it was safe to say this business would not work out anymore. "Never mind, let's go home first! We can start searching again in a few days and find out if other pharmaceutical companies suit us," Leon said after some contemplation. Now that he took the Dragon Pill, he would enter a weak state for the next two days, and the affairs regarding the pharmaceutical company would have to wait. "Alright then." Cynthia nodded. "Oh, where's Otis, by the way?" Leon remembered. "Oh, he's over there!" Iris pointed in the direction of the office. Otis and the rest of the company's higher management remained at their workstations out of fear that they would get involved if they followed Leon. However, they all watched from within the building, and thus witnessed the true extent of Leon's powers. All of them w
"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
