"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."
"Mister Thompson, are you seeing this? You've already agreed to let us leave, but Leon's trying to stop us! If he ends up in some conflict with us because he doesn't know his place, please keep your promise. Don't protect him," Charlie said seriously.He had to render John neutral so that he would not help Leon fight him."I…"John was speechless.He could tell what Charlie was planning, but he had a point—he, John, gave him his word. Since he was from the older generation, he could not go against his promise, especially when it affected his family's reputation.Furthermore, he did not want the matter to get any bigger, so he was not planning on going against his word anyway."Mister Wolf, you should just forget about it. Since they've stepped out of the matter, you should let them leave," John advised."That's right!""Leon, we're all fine now anyway. Let's just let the matter rest!"Patrick and Damian chimed in as well, advising Leon as they did.Even though Charlie had inj
"Leon, you're no match for them. Don't be reckless!" said Patrick hurriedly.He and Damian stepped forward, enduring the pain that seared through their bodies as they intended to stop Leon. Before the two of them could stop things from happening, however, Iris suddenly grabbed them by their arms."Grandfather, uncle, don't worry! Leon is very strong, and they won't be able to do anything to him. Since he wants to help the family, just let him!" Iris said in a hurry.She knew of Leon's skills. With Leon's unbeatable Potential Energy, it would be very easy for Leon to beat them.Earlier, Charlie's subordinates had injured Patrick and Damian before ambushing Leon and injuring him then. She was furious at the fact, and she had hoped Leon would be able to teach them a lesson."Yes. Iris is right—Leon is very strong! If they hadn't snuck up on him just now, they wouldn't have been able to do anything to him!" Roanne nodded in agreement.Just like Iris, she had witnessed that terrifying
"You don't know what's good for you!"There was a sharp glint in Anderson's eyes. He knew that Leon had a low-grade protective treasure, but after having injured him with one blow before, he guessed that Leon's treasure would not be able to stop his attack.Leon seemed to have conveniently forgotten that fact, however, and he still planned on relying on his treasure to face him head-on!Was that not suicidal?Anderson increased his power, planning on using his full strength to cripple Leon."He's done for..."Patrick and Damian's faces were ashen as their hearts sank at Leon's actions.Earlier, they had all seen that Leon was no match for Anderson, and that was just minutes ago.They did not think Leon would be able to turn the tables in such a short period. That did not seem likely at all!Without a miracle, Leon would lose in a worse manner by facing Anderson like this. There were no other possibilities!"You brought this onto yourself!" Charlie smirked at the sight and fel
Charlie quickly shot Bill a look after he snapped out of his shock. "Bill, what are you standing idle for? Hurry and attack!"Bill immediately understood and quickly charged forward. He swiftly struck at the back of Leon, who was not yet in a readied state after having defeated Anderson, powerfully.Iris, Patrick, and the others panicked at the sight. They hurriedly shouted to Leon. "Leon, careful!""You're trying to attack me from behind? Despicable!"The furious Leon quickly turned, but it was too late for him to avoid the attack. Thus, he instead uses his mirror against the attack."Die, you brat!" With a vicious smirk, Bill unleashed his full power as his fist landed on Leon's chest.Even though Leon had defeated Anderson, Bill attributed it to Anderson being injured by John. To him, Anderson's power must have weakened greatly because of that, which was why he was unfortunate enough to fall to Leon.Bill, however, was different; he was not injured at all. He was also slightl
"This is great!""Leon's really amazing!"After the shock, Patrick, Damian, and the others burst into cheers of joy.Earlier, Iris and Roanne insisted that Leon was powerful, but they were so sure the girls were driven into a desperate state of hope.They finally realized that the girls had been right the whole time. They had underestimated Leon and Leon's skills!"How…could this happen?"Charlie's face darkened at the sight.He intentionally brought with him two experts at the intermediate Emperor State to deal with the Scammells. They were considered quite strong in the whole Southern Region, and yet…the two experts had been defeated by someone as young as Leon!He could not understand how Leon did it.Of course, that was not the most important part. The most important part was the fact that Charlie was left without any protection since Bill and Anderson were knocked out.It was obvious what awaited him."Charlie, your guards are done for. It's not your turn," Leon said co
"Who cares about the Martells?! I don't know whether or not the Martells will let me off the hook, but I know that I won't let you off right now!" Leon sneered, thinking nothing of Charlie's threat.He forcefully brought down his foot on Charlie's leg, effectively breaking the man's left leg."Aahh!" Charlie let out a squeal of anguish. His face paled at the pain as his forehead was beaded with cold sweat."L—Leon, how dare you… Just you wait! When you fall into the hands of the Martells in the future, I'll…make sure you end up begging for mercy!"Charlie withstood the intense pain coming from his leg as he glared at Leon viciously, wanting nothing more than to rip Leon apart."You're still so stubborn even staring death in the face. Alright, I do like stubborn men like you! Now that I've gotten justice for my grandfather, it's time to get justice for my uncle by breaking your right leg!" Leon sneered as he raised his leg and aimed for Charlie's right leg."What?!" Charlie felt
"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
