"Alright, you asked for this! Since you want to die so much, we'll grant you your wish! Go ahead and die!" Crowley said furiously.Right after that, the Libertons finished gathering the energy for their attack. They quickly launched it forward, and it shot at Leon with imperious might."You don't know your place!" Leon sneered, and the Cuff of Doom appeared in his hand.After that, he waved and unleashed its might. An incredibly powerful force started to shoot out at the Libertons' attack!"Crap, Leon was too reckless this time.""We're done for!"Patrick, Benedict, and the others looked unhappy.The Scammells in particular all failed to notice that Leon held the Cuff of Doom since Leon stained it gold!All they knew was that Leon was practically asking to die with this attack!Suddenly, their hearts collectively sank!The Libertons were completely different. All of them sneered as they looked at Leon like he was a dead man!Their attack this time was even stronger than the
"I-Impossible! This can't be happening!"Crowley, Fergus, and the others clutched their chests in pain as they looked at Leon in complete shock and disbelief.With a few of them working together, the attack was incredibly strong. It was almost at the peak of Emperor State!It should have been incredibly easy to get rid of Leon with that attack!However, they could not understand what happened. They injured Leon by working together just now, so why did the situation suddenly change? They were the ones to be injured instead!It was just unbelievable!They found themselves suddenly deep in shock. It was hard for them to accept such a cruel truth!"Alright, that's amazing! Leon, you're just amazing!""This is a miracle!"When Patrick, Benedict, and the others went wild when they recovered from their shock. They were incredibly excited.It seemed that the situation was all over for them!Yet, Leon managed to completely turn the tables by himself. It was a miracle!It immediately
"Leon, forget about it! Life is something to be treasured. You should just cripple their power. Spare their lives."Patrick hurried over when he saw that Leon was prepared to kill the three of them.The Scammells had deep grudges against the Libertons, and Damian even almost died thanks to Crowley poisoning him.He hated Crowley to the core, and wanted nothing more than to kill Crowley!However, he was still apprehensive thanks to the Dragon Corps.The Dragon Corps maintained law and order in the martial world. It rarely interfered with any personal grudges, but they were very against taking any lives!It was one thing for Leon to kill Willie just now.An insignificant piece of trash like Willie could be somewhat ignored. The Dragon Corps would not force themselves into the matter.However, If Leon decided to slaughter the others, then it would be different.It could very well end up alerting the Dragon Corps. It would not be good for Leon!"That-"Leon hesitated for a momen
At that moment, Damian quickly led the experts from the Scammells over, capturing the experts from the Libertons. Even though those experts were not heavily injured, Crowley, Fergus, and Wade already had their strength taken away. On top of that, Leon was just too strong, so the battle was already decided.All of them looked incredibly distraught. No one dared to fight back in case they risked angering Leon and the Scammells!"Leon, what do we do with these Libertons?" Damian asked."For what happened this time, the direct descendants and the elders of the Libertons were the main culprits. Cripple their strength and exile them from the Southern Region! As for the others, give them three days to sell their assets and leave the Southern Region. They're never to return!" Leon said coldly.Blame should be assigned to those who deserved it.He knew that most of the experts were just following orders. The Libertons were just a regular ancient martial arts family. They were not some cu
"Elder Shear, you're too kind. I'm just a bit luckier than most!" Leon smiled humbly at Benedict's praise.After that, he called for everyone, "Alright, the matter is already settled. Let's all go home.""Wait."At that moment, Iris suddenly walked to Patrick. She said with some hesitation, "Grandfather, my paternal grandfather, and my dad have come to the Southern Region to see you.""What?" Patrick was shocked to hear that. His expression immediately turned serious."Elder Scammell, it's been a while," Elder Young went forward with Gilbert and greeted Patrick.As for Gilbert, he was still too embarrassed to see Patrick after what happened with his wife, Priscilla. His head was lowered the whole time, and he did not dare to meet Patrick's gaze."Why are you in the Southern Region?! You're not welcome here!" Patrick shouted angrily, looking at Gilbert with fire in his eyes.He pinned the blame for his daughter's early death all on Gilbert. There was naturally no way he would re
"Elder Young, you don't have to speak up for him! A true man has certain ways he should act! If it wasn't for Iris, I would have properly taught him a lesson today for the sake of my departed daughter! In the end, the matter is already in the past. My daughter's life was short, and I don't want to blame him or the Youngs for that. However, I won't forgive him for being so cowardly and irresponsible!" Patrick said coldly.After that, he turned around and ignored Elder Young and Gilbert, angrily walking toward Damian and the rest of the Scammells."Elder Scammell!" Elder Young opened his mouth but did not know what to say. All he could do was watch as Patrick angrily walked away. "Dad, he's not willing to forgive me. What do we do now?" Gilbert said."What else can we do? From tomorrow onwards, kneel in front of the Scammell household and repent until Elder Scammell is willing to forgive you!" Elder Young said.He knew that Gilbert was at fault for it, and was completely irresponsi
During the morning, since Elder Young already regained his strength and Gilbert already gained the forgiveness of the Scammells, both of them accomplished their goals.The two of them, alongside Benedict and the others, bid their farewells to Leon before getting ready to leave the Southern Region and go back to Springfield City.In the courtyard and the villa, Leon, Iris, and the others were all present, alongside those from Springfield City as well. Everyone was saying their final goodbyes. Iris, Cynthia, and the other girls all had reddened eyes at the fact that their elders were leaving. They felt a bit reluctant and sad to part."Ruth, it's just too dangerous staying in the Southern Region. Why don't you come back with me to Springfield City?" George said after some hesitation.Even though he hoped that Ruth would be able to stay by Leon's side to learn and train so she could lead the Collins to greater heights in the future, Willie breaking Ruth's leg gave him quite a shock.
"I don't care if you're doing this for our sake! In the end, if we're going to leave, then we'll all leave together. If you and Iris aren't going back to Springfield City, then I definitely won't!" Ruth said with a firm expression.Leon had that amazing Spiritual Pearl that could greatly increase the speed of a martial artist's training.With her incredible talent in martial arts and her fanatic love for training, there was no way she would leave Leon's side!Furthermore, after being with each other for so long, she already felt very close to Iris, Leon, and the others. She already got used to living there, and she did not want to leave."Why would you do that?" Leon sighed at Ruth's resolve, but there was nothing she could do."Ruth, are you not coming back to Springfield City with me?" George asked again."Yes, I don't want to go back for now! Grandfather, I know you're just worried about my safety here. Don't worry, Leon is very strong. With him protecting us, we'll all be fin
"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
