"Don't!" Seth was terrified and rolled off the ground in an attempt to dodge the daggers.However, Leon's power level rose to the Initial Emperor State, which made him far more powerful than Seth.Though Seth reacted in time, he only managed to dodge two of the daggers, and the third dagger stabbed into the back of his knee.Seth fumbled in pain and collapsed onto the ground in a discomfited manner.Leon took the opportunity to catch up to him. "Seth, you despicable scum, die!" Leon lunged at Seth with a powerful strike."It's over!" Seth froze in fear."Don't you dare!"Just then, a stern roar echoed in the air.Two old men along with a few martial artists hurried over from the distance.When they saw that Leon was about to attack Seth, one of the old men released his tremendous energy toward Leon in an attempt to protect Seth."The Peak Emperor State!" Leon gasped when he sensed the powerful energy oozing off of the old man.Leon was powerful enough and had no fear for his
"Kid, I don't care who you are. You have one chance! You'll corporate while we take you into custody, or I'll show you no mercy!" The Fifth Elder said coldly.Though Leon was an enemy to the Golans and the Hiltons, he was a senior and did not wish to attack a junior, so he made a warning ahead of time to give himself an excuse to attack later on."As if I'd be scared of you! What a joke! Get off your high horse, old man! You should all just come at me at once and save me some time!" Leon pointed at the people before him with a contemptuous look on his face.He was in a hurry to rescue Snow and did not have time to waste, so it would be easier if all the Golans attacked at once."How arrogant! I should be able to deal with a brat like you without getting help from the others!" Enraged by Leon's attitude, the Fifth Elder stepped forward.As Leon and the Fifth Elder stared at one another, tension rose in the air."Fifth Elder, this kid has injured me multiple times and I want him de
"Leon, watch out!" Iris paled and screamed when she saw the Fifth Elder attacking.Though Leon had countless tricks up his sleeves, Iris knew Leon's true power level and since the Fifth Elder was in the Peak Emperor State, Leon might not be able to survive such a powerful blow and she was concerned for Leon's safety."Good! Kill him!"Contrary to Iris's concern, Seth waved his fists in the air in excitement as he stared at Leon like he was looking at a dead man.He knew that Leon had a powerful defensive tool, but he always assumed that it was in the Initial or Intermediate Emperor State, so it should not be a threat to the Fifth Elder, and Leon was destined to die as soon as the Fifth Elder's attack landed on its target.The Fourth Elder and the other Golans felt the same way as well.They were all martial artists in the Intermediate Emperor State or above, so they could immediately tell that Leon was no match for the Fifth Elder and could not fend off the Fifth Elder's attack u
With a loud bang, the Fifth Elder was struck and sent flying two or three meters away by Leon's punch, before landing heavily on the ground.After hitting the ground, he clutched his chest in agony and spewed blood from his mouth as he lay prostrate on the ground.He suffered a serious internal injury and was now incapacitated.Luckily, Leon's current strength was in the Intermediate Emperor State, and the Fifth Elder managed to protect his vital organs in time, deflecting part of the force of Leon's attack.If he took Leon's punch directly, even if he survived, he would have likely been crippled for life."What? The Fifth Elder was defeated? How could this be possible?!"Seth and the other elders were stunned.They gaped at Leon in disbelief!Seth knew that Leon was only in the Peak Overlord State, which was far inferior compared to the Fifth Elder, who was in the Peak Emperor State.He thought that the Fifth Elder would be capable of killing Leon with ease, but reality prove
"Haha! Great! Even the gods are on my side!" Seth burst into laughter after learning that the defensive tool Leon possessed might have the strength equivalent to the Peak Emperor State or even higher.Treasures, special tools, and weapons were extremely hard to come by, especially ones that possessed such enormous power.If the defensive tool Leon possessed had the strength equivalent to the Peak Emperor State or even higher, it would be merely a step away from being classified as an Almighty Weapon, which made it extremely valuable.Both Seth and Joel plotted to rob Leon of his treasures in the past, and learning that the item they were aiming for was far more powerful than they imagined filled Seth's heart with excitement."Fourth Elder, all of you need to gang up on him! Be sure to take the defensive tool he has and bring it to me!" Seth commanded.He knew that most weapons could not be used more than three times, and judging from the fights Leon had with Noah and the Fifth Eld
"Bring it on!" Leon was prepared and took out the Cuff of Doom.He only managed to defeat the Fifth Elder by utilizing the element of surprise and he risked getting injured in doing so.The Fourth Elder was also in the Peak Emperor State and was supported by several martial artists in the Intermediate and Advanced Emperor State, so the Mirror of Sovereign would not be sufficient to defeat them.Hence, Leon did not hesitate to utilize his other weapon, the Cuff of Doom.After offering his power to it day after day, there was a strike and a half stored inside the cuff. The complete strike reached the power of the Intermediate Almighty State; the half strike was only in the Semi-Almighty State but was not far from the Initial Almighty State.Since there was a limit to how many times the cuff could be used, it would be challenging if the Golans decided to fight Leon one by one. Hence, Leon purposefully attempted to provoke them into attacking him all at once so that he could use the C
"Ugh, Mister Seth, r- run! That golden cuff in his hand might be an almighty weapon," The Fourth Elder muttered weakly when he saw the confused look on Seth's face.He was an experienced martial artist who saw his fair share of wonders in the world and managed to conclude that the cuff Leon possessed was an Almighty weapon after the earlier exchange, or Leon would have never been able to defeat them all with a single blow.Naturally, the Cuff of Doom was tainted with gold, so there was no way for the Fourth Elder to tell that it was the infamous Cuff of Doom."What? He- He has even more treasures?!" Seth was utterly stunned.Treasures were extremely rare and it would be challenging enough for powerful families to obtain a single piece of treasure. Not only did Leon possess a defensive tool with power in the Peak Emperor State, but he also owned yet another weapon with power in the Almighty State.Seth was shaken to the core, but knew that there was no time left for him as he was t
"Snap!"Seth's legs broke following the crisp sounds of bones snapping.He wailed in agony and saw stars as he was about to lose consciousness."Leon, you little bast*rd! Just wait! Once I have you at my mercy, I'm going to skin you alive and make you die screaming!" Seth cursed as his face twisted in pain."You talk a great deal! But I love teaching scums like you a lesson!" Leon narrowed his eyes and raised his arm."Wh- What are you doing?" An ominous feeling overwhelmed Seth."It's simple. I'm going to destroy your power once and for all. Let's see how you're going to hurt others from now on!" Leon said fiercelyThough he already decided to spare Seth's life for the time being, Seth must be punished for plotting with Joel against Leon repeatedly and kidnapping Iris.After all that he did, Leon had no intention of letting Seth go unpunished.Ancient lineages of martial artists like the Golans valued power above all and if Leon destroyed his power, he would be abandoned by h
"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
