"Kid, you have one chance to let Seth go right now, or you shall pay for it!" Eliam glared at Leon maliciously.He intended on killing Leon for being the Hiltons' enemy and for barging into the Golans Mansion to injure members of his family, and was not going to let Leon go even if Leon released Seth; however, he could at least allow Leon a quick death."Am I supposed to just do as you say? Who do you think you are, old twat?" Leon scoffed.He was in a hurry to save Snow, so he might have considered letting Seth go if Eliam was understanding enough to apologize for what Seth did.However, Eliam was just as unreasonable and arrogant as Seth was, so Leon saw no reason to show him any respect."Get over yourself, brat! I'm going to skin you alive if you don't let Seth go right now!" Eliam roared, desperately wishing that he could kill Leon right there and then. However, Seth was still being held hostage, so he dared not to move and could only suppress his anger for the time being."
"Take him down! If anything happens to Seth, I want that brat and the woman next to him to die!" Eliam commanded coldly.As a seasoned martial artist and the leader of his family, he was through enough to know that Leon would not kill Seth as Seth was his only leverage at the moment."I guess I can't run from this fight, after all!" Leon's expression darkened and knew that he would have to fight.He rolled his wrist and the Cuff of Doom appeared in his hand once again.He did not know the extent of Eliam's power, but through his earlier duels with the Fourth and Fifth Elder, he could guess that Eliam was likely in the Peak Emperor State as well, and all the other Golans would be in levels below that.There was one strike in the Intermediate Almighty State left in the Cuff of Doom and it would be more than sufficient to fight off Eliam and the others.However, it did not change the fact that Leon was outnumbered and a single attack might not take down every single one of the Golan
"As expected!" Eliam's and the others' hearts sank when they confirmed that Roanne indeed come to Leon's aid.Leon had no status in the southern region and the Golans had no concern about hurting him, but the circumstances with Roanne were different.The Thompsons were the head of all families in the southern region and as their eldest daughter, Roanne had extremely high standing in the community the Golans were instantly placed at a crossroads when Roanne interfered."Miss Thompson, let's cut to the chase here! Leon broke into our house and injured members of my family. On top of that, he destroyed my grandson's power! I've to make him pay for it! This is between the Golans and him, and the Thompsons have nothing to do with this! I'd like for you to stay out of it, or you might risk tainting your family name!" Eliam said.He knew that the Thompsons valued their reputation and wanted to use it as a bargaining chip against Roanne."I'm not staying out of this! Seth was the one who
Leon was prepared for the ambush and immediately tossed Seth into the air at the other Golans."Watch out! We mustn't hurt Mister Seth by accident!"One of the martial artists shouted and the others immediately ceased their attack to catch Seth.Instantly, there was an opening to their line of defense and Leon took the opportunity to run outside with Iris in his arms. "Mister Thompson, please stall them for me! I will take off now!"He originally planned on using the remaining strike in the Cuff of Doom against the Golans, but was unsure if it was sufficient to defeat such a large group.Thankfully, Roanne and John arrived in time and there was no need for Leon to waste the power of the Cuff of Doom.His priority at the moment was to rescue Snow and had no time to waste on the Golans."Where do you think you're going? Prepare to die!" Eliam sneered as he stood back to prevent Leon from running.As soon as Leon darted out of the crowd that surrounded him, Eliam did not hesitate
After leaving the Golans Mansion, Leon and Iris arrived where Leon parked his car and drove off to save Snow."Leon, it's already been some time since Snow was captured! By the time we get there, it might be too late! You should call Mister Hughes to get his help. Maybe he can get Snow out!" Iris said worriedly."Yeah! You're right. I almost forgot!" Realization dawned on Leon.They were currently near the Golans Mansion, which was a distance from the Hughes Mansion.By the time they arrived, Snow might have already suffered a horrible fate.Darius was the eldest son of Hughes and Gordon's brother-in-law. If Darius was willing to offer help, they might be able to save Snow from danger much sooner.Leon immediately took out his phone to call Darius and briefly explain the situation.Darius was furious after learning what happened.The cosmetic products of Elegante Group were swapped a few days ago and he had a hunch that Gordon was involved in it. Hence, he made a point of givin
"I know! Don't worry. Leon might be able to run this time, but he can't run forever. This isn't the end of it. The Golans aren't done with him yet! He has the support of the Thompsons, though, so it's not going to be easy to get rid of him! We might need the Hiltons' help on this!" Eliam said with a malicious look in his eyes.Not only did Leon barge into the Golans Mansion, but he also injured numerous members of the family and destroyed Seth's power.Even if Leon managed to escape, Eliam had no intention of stopping."Let's go to the Hiltons Mansion now, then! Joel was the one who told me to go after Leon. Now that Leon destroyed my power, the Hiltons won't stand idly by!" Seth gritted out."Very good! As long as the Hiltons are willing to get involved, Leon's fate will be decided!" Eliam said.Though Leon was close with the Thompsons, he was not a member of the family and they could not protect Leon for his entire life.With the Hiltons' help to hinder the Thompsons, the Golan
"Seth, what's going on? Why are you so badly injured?!" Joel was stunned by the sight before him."Cousin, Leon broke my legs and destroyed my power. You have to make this right for me," Seth cried in agony as he explained the situation."What?!" Joel was utterly shocked.He thought that his plan for Seth to capture Iris was perfect and did not expect Leon to track Iris down so soon after she was captured.He knew that Leon was in the Peak Overlord State at best, whereas there were countless powerful martial artists among the Golans, with a few who reached the Semi-Almighty State.With such force, it would be easy to crush Leon.However, Leon managed to rescue Iris and destroy Seth's power under the eyes of all the martial artists in the Golans.It was so surreal that he could not begin to fantom how it happened."Apart from the defensive tool, Leon has another Almighty Weapon," Seth explained when he saw the confusion on Joel's face."I see! I didn't even expect him to own ot
"Alright! I'll call my dad now and ask him to summon all the martial artists in our family. We'll hunt Leon down and even with the Thompsons on his side, he'll die screaming!" Joel narrowed his eyes maliciously.Though the Thompsons were the head of all families in the southern region, the Hiltons were comparable to them in terms of influence and wealth.Joel was only forced to compromise with Yuri because he was the one at fault for what happened to the Elegante Group.However, the circumstances changed.Leon went too far to break Seth's legs and destroy his power, so the Hiltons had a proper excuse to seek justice for Seth.If Yuri and Roanne insisted on getting in their way, they would only find themselves stuck in a difficult position.Joel fully intended on using this as an excuse to rain all forces down on Leon and eliminate him once and for all."By the way, Leon's on his way to rescue Snow, Joel! Should we call Gordon and warn him about it?" Seth asked thoughtfully."Th
"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
