"Great! Kill the little bast*rd!" Willie sneered as hope returned to his eyes.He knew that with enemies in all directions, Leon could no longer escape no matter how powerful he was unless there was a miracle.Just as he was absorbed in his fantasy, what happened next destroyed his last hope."Baam!"Following a deafening noise, Leon fended off the Third Elder's attack with his spiritual energy and launched the Double Attack with his true energy in the Initial Supreme State, sending his fists toward the Third Elder at the speed of lightning."T- This isn't possible!" The Third Elder gasped in disbelief at the sight before him.He thought that Leon ran out of time to use the defensive tool and would not be capable of surviving his attack. To his bewilderment, not only did Leon do so with ease, he managed to launch yet another attack within a matter of seconds.The Third Elder was still in the momentum of his first attack and despite his attempt to dodge Leon's attack, he was help
"Enough with your arrogance, brat! You only manage to survive this long with the help of your defensive tool! That's not going to help you if you're facing me!" The Third Elder roared as he backed away from Leon's attack.After observing the duel between Leon and the Fourth Elder, the Third Elder concluded that Leon was in the Intermediate or Advanced Overlord State, so he fell short in speed and explosive power compared to the Fourth Elder. However, the Fourth Elder was defeated with the help of Leon's defensive tool.Thinking that Leon would never be able to catch up with him, the Third Elder was certain that he could not be defeated, only to be proven wrong in the next instant.Leon disappeared in the air and reappeared right before the Third Elder."What speed! How? How's this possible?" Terrified, the Third Elder widened his eyes in disbelief.Leon became more powerful, and his speed increased to the point that he surpassed Third Elder.It was hardly an overstatement to say
"Mister Willie, this kid's too powerful! You need to get back up!" The Third Elder reminded Willie."Oh, that's right!" Willie snapped out of the initial shock.Though Leon displayed incredible strength, he was in the Initial Emperor State at best.They were in the heart of the Libertons Mansion with countless capable martial artists and the head of the first and second bloodlines were both extremely formidable.If Willie could get to the front yard to seek the others' help, Leon's demise would be certain.He immediately shouted at the remaining martial artists who could still fight and said, "Stall Leon! I'm going to get help!" He then darted off and ran toward the front yard with all his might."Trying to run? Not so soon!" Leon scoffed and leaped into the air with one arm around Cynthia to go after Willie."That's enough, kid!"The other Libertons immediately stood in his way."Get out of my way!" Leon roared and flung his arm, sending a giant wave of energy toward them."
"Stop!"Just then, a roar echoed in the air and Crowley strode in with forty martial artists from the front yard.The noises and Willie's cries for help finally alerted his grandfather and Crowley immediately headed toward the garden but was still one step too late."Grandpa, you're finally here! Help me!" Willie was overjoyed when he saw Crowley and instantly started pleading for help hysterically."I suppose you're Leon Wolf? Let Willie go right now!" Crowley glared daggers at Leon.To eliminate the Scammells and Leon, he arranged for most of the family martial artists in the front yard but placed the Third and Fourth Elder along with a dozen martial artists in the inner courtyard for safety measures.Crowley did not know how Loen managed to get past the two elders and capture Willie, and he could not see the Third Elders and the others around; however, he knew that Leon was young and was merely a relative of the Scammells, so there was no way that he could possibly compare to
"You wouldn't dare!" Leon's expression darkened and he immediately stood before Cynthia protectively.After taking the Dragon Pill, his power level rose and he had no fear for anyone in the Intermediate Emperor State or below. However, the Libertons outnumbered him and if they swarmed at him to capture Cynthia, Leon might not be able to protect her on his own."This is your last chance, kid. If you know what's best for you, you'll let Willie go right now and I might consider sparing your life, or I'll make sure that you die screaming!" Crowley threatened.Since Willie's life was hanging by a thread, Crowley was concerned that Leon might choose to risk everything, so he tried to negotiate with Leon with the hope that he could convince Loen into letting Willie go."That's not happening! No one takes a step forward, or I'll kill Willie! We both lose!" Leon said coldly without care for Crowley's threat.He already told Iris to seek help from the Scammells before coming. Since the Scam
Once Leon regrouped with the Scammells, he let go of Cynthia."Cynthia, are you alright?"Both Benedict and Harvey were relieved and instantly hurried over to check on her."I'm fine. Why are you all in the southern region, Grandpa?" Cynthia was shocked to see her family here."We came to deliver herbs to Leon and dropped by to see you," Benedict explained, before scanning her up and down.Once he and Harvey confirmed that Cynthia was indeed safe and unharmed, they visibly relaxed.Meanwhile, Leon dragged Willie toward Ruth and George, before tossing him before Ruth roughly. "Ruth, I've brought the man who insulted and hurt you here! Do whatever you want to him!" Leon said.Ruth once reminded him to keep Willie alive because she wanted to seek revenge on her own, which was one of the reasons why he did not kill Willie. "Great! You're brilliant, Leon. You never disappoint!" Ruth said cheerfully.Willie, who was arrogant and powerful, was now at Leon's mercy and the sight pleas
"Snap!"Willie wailed and paled at the agonizing pain in his leg as he struggled to remain conscious."Why you!"Crowley and Wade gritted their teeth in rage as they watched Ruth break Willie's leg."Wench, you better stop now, or I'll make sure that you and Leon die screaming today!" Crowley gritted out maliciously."Is that so? I'm excited to see what you can do to Leon!" Ruth smirked mockingly.She knew the extent of Leon's strength, especially with the powerful Potential Energy Forces he had, so she had no fear for Crowley's threats as long as Leon was by her side.She raised the iron rod once again and struck down at Willie's other leg."Snap!"Following the crisp sound of bones cracking, she broke both of Willie's legs and avenged what he did to her; Ruth was both excited and satisfied with the outcome."Ah!!!" Willie screamed, his features twisting in misery and pain."I'm going to kill you!" Wade glared daggers at Ruth.Willie was his son and Ruth broke Willie's leg
"You'll let us go? Very well! Remember your promise!" Patrick wavered and immediately hurried toward Leon.The Libertons were always the Scammells' enemies and Patrick wanted to seize the chance to eliminate the Liberton, but it was impossible.Ever since Rick and members of the second bloodline were removed from the family, the Scammells lost their former glory. Patrick brought two elders and close to thirty skilled martial artists to help Leon, leaving only three elders in the family mansion. Meanwhile, there were at least forty martial artists on the Libertons' side, giving the Libertons an advantage over the Scammells in terms of numbers and strength.The difference in power was so distinct that Patrick knew for certain that the Scammells and Leon were the ones who would suffer in the end if they refused to release Willie.Since Crowley offered to let the Scammells leave unscathed once Leon let go of Willie, it was a deal that Patrick was more than happy to take.He took a f
"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
