"The Peak Supreme State?!"The guards gaped when they sensed Ruth’s power.They were merely ordinary guards and were mainly in the Initial or Intermediate Supreme State, which made them powerless before Ruth, who was in the Peak Supreme State.Before they could react, the first two guards closest to Ruth slammed into her attack and collapsed onto the ground.Ruth took the opportunity to advance and kick at the two other guards behind, who swiftly backed away to dodge her attack. However, their strength was far from comparable to Ruth's, and they were defeated before long.Within the blink of an eye, all four of the Libertons' guards were defeated by Ruth."Who would've known that a little girl like you would be in the Peak Supreme State? Interesting!" Willie was surprised to find that Ruth was in the Peak Supreme State.For a woman of Ruth's age, it was quite an accomplishment, but most of the martial artists in her age in the southern region were at the same or even higher leve
"Who are you?!" Willie was shocked when he sensed two people charging at him from behind.He long reached the Semi-Overlord State and was capable enough to narrowly dodge Stephen's attack. However, Spencer was stronger than Stephen and made a sharp turn to close in on Willie."How dare you?!" The two mid-aged men gaped and instantly gave up on capturing Ruth and Cynthia, before darting toward Spencer and Stephen at the speed of lightning.The Sharp siblings knew how powerful the men were and rolled off the ground, narrowly escaping their attacks.Once they regained their balance, Spencer shouted at Cynthia and Ruth, "Madams, we'll stall them. Run!""But, okay!" Ruth knew it was not a time for her to be stubborn and grabbed Cynthia by the arm, before dragging her in the opposite direction."You aren't getting away!" The two mid-aged men sneered.One of them leaped into the air and charged toward Cynthia and Ruth, while the other one remained to fight Spencer and Stephen."Damn i
"You arrogant scums!" Willie sneered and walked over with one of the mid-aged men once he saw that Ruth was severely injured and Cynthia was captured."Gimpy, you didn't manage to defeat Leon and turn to vent your anger on two women. You're no man!" Ruth glared daggers at him.She knew about the conflict between Leon and Willie and knew that he came to attack her and Cynthia to trap Leon."Why you! If you like calling me a gimpy so much, I'll make you one as well! Consider a part of the payment Leon owes me!" Willie sneered devilishly and stomped on Ruth's leg."Snap!"Ruth grunted in pain as her bones snapped. She paled and saw stars as she struggled not to lose consciousness."Stop it! Willie Liberton, you despicable scum! Ruth hasn't done anything to you, how dare you hurt her? You don't even have the right to call yourself human! Once Leon finds out about this, he won't spare you!" Cynthia roared in rage."You b*tch! Don't even mention that little bast*rd's name!" Livid, Wil
"Leon, you're finally here. I'm so glad!" Ruth forced a smile through the pain when she saw Leon.After all the things they went through, Ruth developed a sense of dependence on Leon like the other three women and she finally calmed down at the sight of Leon."Ruth, what happened to you? A- are you alright?" George and the Collins gaped and hurried over to help her up."Grandpa? Why are you here? Ugh, my leg hurts!" Ruth did not expect the Collins to travel to the southern region. She paled when a sharp pain shot up her leg and gasped in pain."Ruth, what happened to your leg? Who did this?!" Leon was furious.He crouched down to touch her injured leg and instantly realized that someone stomped on Ruth's leg hard enough to break her bones."Willie Liberton broke my leg and took Cynthia. He told me to tell you that he will kill Cynthia if you don't go to the Libertons Mansion," Ruth gritted out through the pain of her injuries."Willie Liberton? That worthless scum. I'll make him
"Leon, we'll go with you."Benedict, Harvey, and the other Shears hurried after Leon.They all came to the southern region to surprise Cynthia. To their bewilderment, they were all greeted by the news that Cynthia was in danger.The Shears were worried and could not stay still."It's fine! Elder Shear, I'll go alone to save Cynthia. If you're worried, you can come with the Scammells later," Leon did not stop on his way out.It would be quicker for him to travel alone and taking the Shears with him would only slow him down."Alright," The Shears knew that they could not be of much help and stopped."Leon, once you find Cynthia, leave Willie alive. I'm going to make him pay for what he did myself!" Ruth gritted out as Leon left."I got it!" Leon's figure soon disappeared into the distance.As soon as he was gone, Iris gave Patrick a call, asking him to send the martial artists in the Scammells to help Leon, and informed him to meet with Leon outside the Liberton Mansion.Patric
"You want Cynthion Group? Dream on!" Cynthia scoffed.All the alchemical pills were produced by Leon and there was no confidential record or recipes of the pills so that Willie could not obtain any information from her.She was clueless about how the pills were produced, and she would never breathe a word even if she knew the recipes."Think twice, Miss Shear! If you don't want to suffer, I advise that you hand the recipes over and I might just let you go! Otherwise, there will be no mercy for you!" Willie threatened."It's not happening! You won't get anything from me!" She said in contempt.She did not know how Leon produced the pills, but she helped Leon so many times that she did know some of the details but refused to disclose anything to Willie."Very well! B*tch, you asked for this!" Willie slammed the table in a rage and stood from his seat, before striding up to Cynthia."W- What are you doing? Don't come any closer," She shouted nervously as she backed away, knowing pe
"Let's not waste any time! Come over here, and I'll show you how wonderful it is to be with a man," He sneered evilly and reached out to grab her clothes.He intended to tear her clothes apart and force himself onto her, but before he could do so, what happened next caught him off-guard."Go to hell, you scum!" Cynthia prepared herself and withdrew the Potential Energy Force in her jadeite pendant, before sending it directly at Willie.Though her power was sealed, she could still utilize the Potential Energy Force.She waited until this moment because she was waiting for the right moment and was concerned that the Potential Energy Force would not be effective on a formidable martial artist like Willie. However, his arrogance allowed him to let his guard down and it was the perfect chance for her to catch him by surprise she desperately wished that she could take Willie's life right there and then."How's this possible?!" Willie was stunned when he sensed the energy in Cynthia's ha
"Baam!"Just then, the noises and Willie's shout alerted the two mid-aged men and guards standing outside the door.They opened the door and hurried inside."Mister Liberton, wh- what happened to you?"They were shocked to find the room in a mess and Willie injured, so they immediately helped him up from the ground."Get that b*tch!" Willie pointed at Cynthia in rage."Yes!"Two of the guards went over to grab Cynthia.Cynthia did not resist, nor did she have the power to do so, and simply allowed the guards to restrain her."B*tch, how dare you sneak up on me? You'll die for this!" Enraged, Willie walked over, suppressing the agonizing pain in his body."You're the one who should die! If you weren't lucky, you would have gone to hell by now!" Cynthia glared daggers at him fearlessly."B*tch, shut your mouth! I'll kill you!" Blinded by rage, Willie raised his arm to slap her.Cynthia bit down on her lower lip and her heart sank as she braced for the slap. She knew that she
"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
