"Aren't you in a hurry to die?" Leon scoffed sarcastically and was about to counter when Patrick stepped in.He stood before Leon and said, "Leon, I'll hold him off. Take Iris and leave! The Scammells will stall them!"Patrick then proceeded to launch a powerful attack on Crowley.Since the Libertons had the number, Leon and the Scammells were bound to lose, so the best Patrick could do was to shield Leon until he escaped with the others; that way, they might still survive."The Intermediate Emperor State!" Crowley was shocked when he came into contact with Patrick's energy.He was targeting Leon and did not expect Patrick to come in between. It was too late for him to adjust his attack, so he did a backflip in the air and backed away, narrowly escaping Patrick's attack."Scammells, cover Leon and the others until they are out of here safely!" Patrick commanded."Yes!"The Scammells instantly moved into formation and stood before the Libertons to stop them from advancing and bu
"Run? There's no need for that! Elder Shear, just relax. I said that I'll destroy the Libertons and I intend on keeping that promise!" Leon said but did not immediately move against the Libertons as he needed to protect Iris, Cynthia, and the others.If he took an offensive position and drifted too far away from them, the Libertons might sneak up on Benedict and the others when they had the chance."Why you!"Benedict and George were both furious.With the Scammells' help, this was their best chance in escaping, yet Leon stubbornly refused to leave and from their perspectives, this was nothing short of a suicide mission; once the Libertons got past the Scammells, they would lose the chance of escaping to safety.As they anticipated, Wade was in a hurry to avenge his son's death and did not waste his time with the Scammells. He tore through the Scammells' defense line with five other Libertons and charged toward Leon.The Scammells were at a disadvantage and had no power to stop W
"Damn it!" Wade's expression darkened.He wished to join forces with the other Libertons to defeat Leon, only for Leon to divide the group with ease with just a few daggers.On top of that, Leon possessed a defensive tool and Wade knew that he could not win against Leon; however, he assumed that Leon's true power fell short and could not compare to his in terms of speed and explosive power, so he could simply utilize his superior speed and Leon could not be able to catch up to him.Wade instantly withdrew his attack and backed away from Leon as he plotted to regroup with the others to launch another attack, only to be stunned by what happened next."Stay down!" Leon scoffed and darted toward Wade, before landing a blow at his shoulder."Snap!"Following the crisp sound of bones cracking, Wade grunted in pain and was instantly sent flying.He spat a mouthful of blood and lost the ability to fight as agonizing pain radiated throughout his body from his shoulder. He was fortunate e
"Wow!"...Jaws dropped when Benedict and the others saw how swiftly Leon defeated the six Libertons.They stood in shock as they gaped at Leon in disbelief.To their knowledge, Leon was in the Advanced Overlord State before he left Springfield City, yet to their bewilderment, he made another great leap of strength in a month to the point that even the combination of two martial artists in the Peak Overlord State and four martial artists in the Advanced Overlord State could not defeat him.Everything pointed to the conclusion that Leon likely reached the Semi-Emperor State.Martial artists often required years of hard work to reach the next power level, but Leon reached the Semi-Emperor State from the Advanced Overlord State in a month.Instantly, everyone was stunned.Meanwhile, Crowley was furious when he saw how Leon injured Wade and the other Libertons."You little bast*rd! I'm going to kill you!" He roared and attempted to launch himself at Loen, only to be stopped by Pat
"Nothing is impossible! You're in the Intermediate Emperor State, so why can't I achieve that as well? I've long reached the Intermediate Emperor State a few months ago. You just don't know about it!" Crowley sneered.The training method in the Libertons belonged to the Basic Power class and it was challenging for one to reach the Intermediate Emperor State with it. However, there was an exception to everything.Crowley was a talented martial artist and with a little luck, he managed to get a breakthrough and reached the Intermediate Emperor State a few months ago, which gave him the confidence to eliminate Leon and the Scammells.He did not expect Patrick to be in the Intermediate Emperor State as well, but since Patrick just reached the level a few days ago, his power fell short before Crowley and would only cause Crowley more effort into defeating him."Fergus, I'll take care of Patrick! Kill Leon!" Crowley shouted at Fergus.Once Fergus eliminated Leon, he could circle back to
"Is Leon going to fight his opponent with the Potential Energy Force?"...Benedict and George studied the confidence on Leon's face and realization dawned on them.They all saw what the Potential Energy Force was capable of and witnessed the scene where Leon defeated Orvald Lapwood with it.However, despite the terrifying power of the Potential Energy Force, it was merely a tool and not Leon's true power and none of them knew if Leon had other tricks up his sleeves."Die, bast*rd!" Fergus closed in and sneered viciously as he charged at Leon."You dare to flaunt when this is all you are capable of? Know your place!" Leon scoffed and struck."You must want to die, kid!" Fergus narrowed his eyes ferociously.Since Leon was wielding his spiritual energy, Fergus could not determine Leon's power level but jumped to the conclusion that Loen was at the Semi-Emperor State judging from his speed and explosive power.Hence, he assumed that Leon was foolish for facing him directly and s
"How's that possible?"The crowd gaped.The Libertons, Scammells, and the others all stared at Leon in disbelief.They all thought that Leon was only in the Semi-Emperor State and did not think that it would be possible for him to defeat Fergus, who was in the Initial Emperor State.To their bewilderment, not only did Leon fend off Fergus's attack, he managed to cause great damage to Fergus with a single blow.It was so surreal that none of them would have believed it to be true if they did not see it with their own eyes.Crowley and Wade were both hopeful that Fergus would destroy Leon and avenge Willie, only to be disappointed by the reality. The hope that reignited within them was instantly put out."No! This is impossible! This isn't happening!" Fergus covered his chest and fumbled to get up in disbelief.He could distinctively sense that Leon was only in the Semi-Emperor State, with far inferior speed and explosive power compared to him, yet Leon somehow managed to defeat
Just then, Crowley decided to abandon his duel with Patrick when he saw that Fergus was in danger, and leaped toward Leon’s direction."Die, you little bast*rd!" He roared and gathered his energy to form a powerful attack at Leon's back."How despicable!" Patrick gaped. He did not expect Crowley to attack Leon and did not have the time to stop him.However, Leon was a capable martial artist who defeated two Martells in the Intermediate Emperor State, so he was not overly worried."Leon, watch out!" Iris, Cynthia, and the others shouted.Benedict and George, who sensed that Crowley was a martial artist in the Intermediate Emperor State, paled at the sight.Judging from what they saw so far, Leon was in the Initial Emperor State at best; since Crowley was on a higher power level and had the element of surprise, Leon could not possibly survive the blow.Worried, they all prayed that Leon would dodge the attack in time."Take this, kid!" Fergus stopped backing away and charged towa
