"Grandfather, you don't have to worry! They're just a few clowns. It's not worth my energy at all! I'll make sure to make them pay a painful price today for injuring the two of you!" Leon said confidently."Clowns? Little brat, how dare you speak so arrogantly even now?! I guess you've already accepted that you're going to die!" Rick was completely angered by Leon's arrogance!"Old dog, stop wasting time! This time, I'll be sure to cripple all three of you and remove your family from the Scammells!" Leon said imperiously.Even though he said that, he did not dare to be careless at all and secretly consumed a Dragon Pill."You…""Very well then! You asked for it! Since you want to die so badly, I'll send you down to hell right now!" Rick said furiously.After that, he wasted no more time in charging forward with all his might at Leon."Perfect!"Feeling the Dragon Pill already taking effect, Leon scoffed as he advanced with his fist ready, facing Rick's attack head-on!After
"He's done for…""Leon's going to die this time…"In contrast to how excited Nigel and the others were, Patrick, Damian, and Penny felt like their hearts were completely frozen!They knew very well that Rick was far stronger than Leon. They were on completely different levels!If there were no surprises, Leon would not be able to take Rick's blow at all!However, before they could even finish their thoughts, something that shocked everyone happened the next moment!Bang!After an intense clash, Rick's immense attack immediately broke through Leon's spiritual energy, and his remaining power rushed right at Leon!Leon remained calm in the face of danger, and he used the Mirror of Sovereign for the remainder of Rick's true energy!At the same time, he used Double Attack. A wave of true energy that was at the level of an Initial Supreme Master rose in his fist, slamming viciously on Rick's chest!Rick did not have a defense up, so he took the full blow and immediately spat out tw
"Despicable!"Leon's expression changed dramatically. He quickly turned and immediately tried to retreat and avoid Anderson's ambush!However, his skills were still only at the level of the Advanced Overlord State. In terms of speed and explosiveness, he was too far below Anderson!Even though he used all his strength, he was not able to avoid Anderson's attack!With danger looming, he was forced to strike back and use the Mirror of Sovereign to protect himself!Bang!With a violent strike, Anderson's true energy broke through Leon's attack and landed squarely on Leon's chest.Leon immediately spat out two mouthfuls of blood as he was sent flying before he slammed into the ground heavily.Right after that, there was intense pain in his chest. He had clearly suffered internal injuries.Thankfully, he had the Mirror of Sovereign to take a large part of the attack.Otherwise, he would probably have been crippled from that blow!"Perfect! Anderson, you've performed beautifully!"
"Crap!" Leon's expression changed drastically.Ever since he obtained the Spiritual Pearl, his sage arts have already reached a bottleneck of the Intermediate Foundation Phase. He was only a sliver away from leveling up!He had been working hard with his training, hoping that he would be able to break through!However, it did not seem like it was meant to be. No matter how hard he tried, there were no signs of him making a breakthrough.He never expected that, right at a key moment of a fight, his sage arts would start to show signs of breaking through!It was just such an inopportune thing!After all, it was not easy to make a breakthrough. He would at least need to spend some time on it.However, his enemies were right in front of him. Charlie would be able to kill him easily!However, if he did not take the chance and miss out on it, he did not know how long it would take him to show any signs again!Suddenly, he was caught in a difficult spot, not knowing what to do!"A
"Anderson, stop wasting your time talking to that girl! Just grab her along with Iris!" Charlie looked at Roanne's stunning looks, and his eyes glinted. He suddenly felt a sense of amazement.Since Roanne had been ill and rarely went out, he had never seen Roanne before and did not know that Roanne was a Thompson!Other than that, Roanne's looks were comparable to Iris'. Both of them were beautiful beyond compare!If he could get both of them at the same time, having one for each arm, would it not be perfect?Just thinking about it got him very excited!"Yes!" Anderson acknowledged.Right after that, without a second of delay, he rushed forward to grab the two girls!"Not good…"Patrick and the others felt their hearts sink at the sight.They wanted to stop Anderson from getting Iris, but Anderson was just too strong. On top of that, Patrick and Damian had already been injured by Anderson before that.They were powerless to help and could only stare with widened eyes as Iri
Charlie looked at the old man warily after he snapped out of his shock. "W—Who are you?""John Thompson," the old man said coldly, announcing who he was."What? Y—You're a Thompson?"The announcement left everyone shell-shocked as though a bomb had gone off. Whether it was Charlie and Rick or Damian's side, none of them expected an expert from the Thompsons to miraculously be present.Charlie looked at Roanne behind John, and his eyes widened. He quickly guessed who Roanne was. "Is that Roanne Thompson, then?"He might never have met Roanne before, but he knew who she was.Most of the ancient families had heard about how Roanne had been captured by Asmodeus a few days ago as well; it was just that very few people had seen Roanne herself.With John beside Roanne and protecting her, anyone would be able to guess that Roanne was the secretive daughter of the Thompsons."I guess you do have eyes," John said with a sneer."That…"Charlie was thoroughly shocked when John admitted t
"These bad guys attacked and hurt Leon! Capture them all so Leon can deal with them!" Roanne ordered angrily."Yes!" answered John.It was always better to take the head of the beast first. He knew that Charlie was the leader of their opponents, so he quickly launched forward with immense power, trying to grab Charlie."Don't!"Charlie was scared stiff. He knew very well that John was too strong. He was far from someone he and the others could deal with. Moreover, after everything that happened between him and Leon, the latter would never forgive him if he was captured and handed over to him.With danger looming, he quickly had a thought as he retreated and hurriedly said, "Sir, wait! I want to say something!""Speak up, then!" John scoffed, stopping his attack for a moment.After all, he was someone from the older generation, while Charlie was from the younger generation. He could not possibly not give Charlie the chance to speak."Sir, this is an internal conflict between t
"Sir, you should know that the Martells are related to the Southern Boss. Please let me go for his sake!" Charlie hurriedly mentioned the Southern Boss when he saw that John was starting to sway."The Southern Boss?" John's expression turned serious.Even though the Thompsons were not afraid of the Southern Boss, he did not dare underestimate that man's power. Furthermore, he was just one of the collateral descendants of the family. He did not dare to make any decisions.Without permission from the family head, he would not provoke the Southern King for something so small. He could not risk stirring up more conflict.It would do the Thompsons no good."For the sake of the Southern Boss, get lost, you brat," John said coldly, quickly making a decision.If Charlie left, he would have helped Leon protect the first line of the Scammells. That was more than enough.To prevent the matter from getting any more serious, he was forced to stop here."Thank you. I'll take my leave, then."
"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
