"Angus, we'll meet again!" Asmodeus cackled. After that, he wasted no time in jumping over the wall, disappearing without a trace!"After him!" The old man was furious. After that, he and Angus pursued Asmodeus with the others.Regretfully, they were still too late in the end. By the time they got there, they saw a black sedan driving away in a cloud of dust!"Despicable! Asmodeus, I'll never let you go!" Angus shouted out angrily as he looked at his daughter being taken away. His eyes were reddened as he slammed his fist into a large tree. The tree cracked from the middle and started to fall.However, that was not able to change anything. No matter how angry he was, everything already happened!"Angus, don't panic just yet! Our forces are all over the Southern Region. Even though Asmodeus managed to escape for now, as long as we go after him right now, we'll be able to find him!" The old man consoled.The Thompsons stood at the helm of all the major ancient martial arts families
"Mister Thompson, you don't have to go through so much trouble! Honestly, I have an even better way to track Asmodeus. No matter where he is, I'll be able to find him!" Leon quickly walked over.He was prepared earlier and placed his Soul Searcher on Asmodeus and Roanne. He never expected that it would prove useful!The Soul Searcher was able to find someone within a thousand kilometers. As long as Asmodus was still in the Southern region, he would be able to find the man easily!"What? You can find Asmodeus? Are you serious?" Angus and Yuri were shocked to hear that. They could not believe their ears!Angus in particular knew how cunning and sly Asmodeus was. Even if the Thompsons used their full might, it was not a sure thing that they would be able to capture Asmodeus!Yet, Leon was telling them he would be able to find Asmodeus. It was just absurd!He could not stop himself from feeling uncertain. He could not tell if Leon was speaking the truth or not!""I absolutely ca
"Why not? Mister Thompson, please believe me. Everything I said is true. I assure you, I'll be able to find Asmodeus and save Roanne!" Leon could see Asmodeus's concern and was immediately assured."Mister Wolf, you don't have to say anymore. Thank you for your concern! You were injured quite heavily by Asmodeus earlier, you should go back to rest. Our family will handle this ourselves!" Angus said without any room for doubt."But-"Leon did not want to give up, but he was interrupted by Angus before he could finish."That's enough! I need to gather people to go pursue Asmodeus right now. Stop adding to my troubles! Yuri, help me send him off!" Asmodeus was a bit unhappy that Leon was not giving up. He was in no mood to entertain Leon anymore and turned around to leave.Leon was quite disappointed looking at Angus leave. He felt frustrated as well.He was sincerely trying to help Angus find Roanne, but he was met with disdain. Angus was not willing to believe in him at all.It
At a relatively remote area in the southern suburbs, there were some private residences. That was where Asmodeus was hiding.Asmodeus regularly hid in the outskirts of the city, and the ones staying around him were all regular folk. It was a very unassuming place in various ways, which was how he managed to avoid the capture of the Dragon Corps!At that moment, in one of the residences at the back, Asmodeus drove inside with a very ordinary-looking black sedan.Earlier, the Thompsons sent out a lot of experts to pursue him, and they worked with a lot of ancient martial arts families as well. He was almost caught many times!However, the Southern Boss made ample preparations, so he managed to avoid pursuit by the Thompsons and managed to get back!"Angus, once I kill your daughter, I'll slowly settle the score with you! From now on, I'll make sure the Thompsons don't get a single day of rest since I have the Southern Boss helping me!" Asmodeus let out a cold sneer as his eyes glint
"Let you go? Do you think that's possible? Well, let me tell you this; after I get my hands on you, I will strip you naked and hang you on a pole in the busiest part of the city, so the entire Southern region will be able to see what's underneath little Miss Thompson's dress! After that happens, I'd like to see how the Thompsons are going to clear their name!" Asmodeus sneered, and a glint of excitement flashed through his eyes. Roanne sat up as though she was struck by lightning. She was always confined to her house as a result of her illness and thus longed to explore the outside world, but she never once dreamed that after Leon managed to cure her disease and give her the gift of freedom, she would fall into the hands of someone like Asmodeus before she got a chance to see the world! What scared her the most was that Asmodeus not only wanted to dishonor her, he even wanted to humiliate her and the rest of the Thompsons after she died! Roanne was an innocent girl, and could
"You again! I can't believe how daft you are to come after me again!" Asmodeus was shocked to see that it was Leon. Considering that he attacked Leon once before while they were at the Thompson's, he thought Leon would suffer severe injuries from that, and he never once dreamed Leon would show up before him once more, unscathed! This shocked Asmodeus greatly. However, he was not the only one surprised by this—even Roanne was stunned to see him. "Leon, what are you doing here?" Roanne rubbed her eyes, trying to see if she was dreaming this. She already lost all hope of making it out alive, but now, Leon showed up miraculously in her last moments of despair! A glimmer of hope ignited within her heart at this. "I-" Leon's face was pale as he opened his mouth to explain. He already prepared himself for this; when Asmodeus found him, he would bring out his Potential Energy Force and kill Asmodeus without a second's hesitation! However, reality did not often go as planne
At the same time, Leon circled past Asmodeus and darted into the living room, straight toward Roanne, without a moment's hesitation.Asmodeus could sense Leon near his feet, but now, he was effectively put on edge by Leon's warning and did not dare to move even an inch.Besides, Leon was far less powerful than him, and thus he was not at all bothered!Asmodeus knew that it would be as ABC for him to defeat Leon and thus was not at all worried about Leon rescuing Roanne from right underneath his nose. Now that Leon voluntarily snuck into his living room, it would work out even better for him—with Leon's addition, he would have one more person to hold hostage against the Thompsons!Therefore, Asmodeus took no notice of Leon at all and instead remained fixated on trying to find the two Almighty Warriors hidden in his yard. "Where are the warriors, Leon? Please ask them to save us!" Roanne was delighted to see Leon appear before her, and her heart ignited with newfound hope. "There
"You're going to regret this, Asmodeus! Take this!" Leon was already prepared for this and immediately drew out his Potential Energy Force, raising it above his head and bringing it down to defeat Asmodeus once and for all! "Me? How cocky of you to say this, you twat." Asmodeus burst into laughter at this, his eyes filled with contempt. He was familiar with Leon's powers and thus knew that Leon's combat skills were a far cry from his. He could easily defeat Leon without even batting his eye! However, Leon dared to threaten him like this, and it amused Asmodeus to see this. Before he could even finish, what happened next shocked Asmodeus to the core— "Thud—" A surge of power erupted all around Leon as he drew the Potential Energy Force out, and it was as though the air froze all around them with only the particles of the Potential Energy Force buzzing with power. "What's this?" Asmodeus was horrified when he sensed the sheer power contained within the Potential Energy Fo
"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
