"Leon, Gordon hit Mister Hughes with a poisoned needle just now. Hurry up and see if you can help Mister Hughes," Snow said anxiously.She knew how skilled Leon was at medicine. Leon pulled Iris back from the dead before!With Leon's medical skills and the fact that Darius was not poisoned for that long, they might have some hope of saving Darius if Leon treated Darius right away!"What? Mister Hughes was poisoned?" Leon was shocked to hear that. After that, he turned around and noticed Darius on the ground, not moving at all.So, he completely forgot about Gordon as he hurried to Darius."Snow, what happened? Why was Mister Hughes poisoned?" Leon asked as he quickly walked over."It's like this, Gordon took away the poison needle from me. After that, he used the needle against Mister Hughes and caught Mister Hughes off guard," Snow explained the matter."So that's it! Gordon is a shameless and despicable man. He's even able to attack his relatives. I don't think you can even ca
On the other side, Gordon started to recover while Leon was treating Darius.He knew very well that it would not be good for him once Leon was no longer occupied!So, he took the chance while Leon, Iris, and Snow were all focused on Darius. He withstood the pain in his arm and chest as he slowly crept closer to the door!After that, he suddenly stood up and ran out frantically!"You're trying to run? It won't be so easy!" Leon immediately noticed what Gordon was doing.Gordon did not only attack Darius but almost killed Snow as well!There was no way he could let Gordon leave just like that!After that, he grabbed the unconscious Darius and ran after Gordon with Snow and Iris.In just a moment, they quickly arrived at the yard.After he got to the cars, Gordon looked incredibly happy. He planned on driving away!As long as he managed to get into his car, Leon would not be able to do anything no matter how skilled Leon was!Yet, before he could even think about it, he felt hi
"No!""I'm still quite young. I don't want to perish. Leon, I know exactly what I did wrong. Please keep my life safe!" Gordon was horrified to sense Leon's murderous intent emanating from his body.Even ants were terrified of dying, let alone him!He married into the Hughes family as well. He still had a luxurious life ahead of him. He obviously did not want to die!So he didn't care about anything else as he began pleading with Leon for mercy!"If you're going to apologize now, why did you do it all earlier? Someone as evil as you should consider what you did in hell!" Leon stated matter-of-factly. He then raised his palm and struck Gordon!"No, I don't want to die!" says the protagonist. Gordon appeared terrified. He had given up hope at that point!But, just as he was about to give up hope, something unexpected happened!A frantic brake was applied, and a white car stopped nearby.The door immediately opened. A stylishly dressed and stunning woman with a proud demeanor wal
"Snow, it's you! What are you doing? Why do you have my husband? Let him go!" Dawn looked at Leon and Snow with an unfriendly expression on her face.Earlier, Darius ordered his men to find out where Gordon was, which she quickly found out about!However, Darius was in too much of a hurry to save Snow, so Darius did not tell her about what happened!Yet, with how urgently Darius seemed to be treating the matter, and with how it seemed to involve her husband, she quickly realized this was no simple matter!So, she quickly brought one of the experts from the Hughes with her to look into the situation.She just arrived!Other than that, she knew that Snow was Gordon's ex-girlfriend, and they were once love rivals! Love rivals were the worst sort of enemies!There was naturally no way she would greet Snow kindly after seeing Snow for the first time in so many years! "Miss Hughes, you came at just the right time! Gordon poisoned!" Leon was about to explain what Gordon did after D
"Miss Hughes, don't listen to Gordon's nonsense! Gordon stole my poisoned needle and he was the one who attacked Mister Hughes. This has nothing to do with me and Leon," Snow hurriedly tried to explain when she saw that Dawn was fooled by Gordon.However, before she could reveal the truth, Dawn interrupted her!"Snow Poole, how dare you two kill my brother?! I'll make sure the two of you pay for this!" Dawn was furious. Her eyes looked at Leon and Snow with intense anger.With Darius's body being in Leon's hands and having seen Leon trying to kill Gordon, she felt like the truth was obvious. There was no way she would listen to Leon and Snow's explanations!Furthermore, Gordon was her husband. Darius was Gordon's relative!No matter what Leon and Snow said, she would never believe that Gordon would want to harm Darius!"Lucius, hurry up and kill those two and avenge Darius!" Dawn said to the old man through clenched teeth. She wanted to rip Leon and Snow apart at that moment!"Y
Facing Lucius's attack, Leon knew he was outmatched. He quickly started to retreat, frantically avoiding Lucius's attacks.However, he was still slower than Lucius. No matter how he avoided it, Lucius was still on him. The attacks were getting closer and closer."Miss Hughes, is there something wrong with your brains?! I already said it very clearly just now, Gordon was the one who attacked Mister Hughes. It has nothing to do with me and Snow! Mister Hughes is still alive right now. We can't delay his treatment," Leon said anxiously, trying to dispel the misunderstanding.Unfortunately, before he could even finish, Lucius suddenly struck out with a wave of incredible true energy, striking him around the chest!There was nothing Leon could do but use the Mirror of Sovereign to block it. Bang!Lucius's immense power immediately broke through the Mirror of Sovereign's defenses, sending Leon flying several meters away before slamming onto the ground.At the same time, Darius, who w
"Lucius, those two killed Darius! Hurry up and kill them to avenge him!" Dawn said sadly. She pointed right at Leon and Snow, and her eyes were filled with limitless hatred!"Dawn is right! Lucius, you have to kill the two of them quickly. Rip them apart!" Gordon agreed viciously.In contrast to Dawn and Lucius' sadness, Gordon was incredibly relief after finding out that Darius already died from the poison!Furthermore, he knew that Leon was not that strong. He was just at the initial Emperor State at most!Lucius was already in the Semi Almighty State. He was far stronger than Leon!With Lucius' skills, it would be incredibly easy to get rid of Leon and Snow!As long as Leon and Snow were both dead, no one would know that he killed Darius.Then, he would be free from any worries!"Yes!" Lucius handed Darius 'corpse' over to Dawn.After that, he did not hesitate at all to charge Leon and Snow with an imperious attack!It was obvious that he was using his full might, planning
"Mister Wolf, I'm very sorry that I'm late! Are you fine?" Taking the chance, Yuri and the others walked in front of Leon.Before this, Leon asked Yuri to help with Joel and the Hiltons. For the sake of safety, he brought that old man who was at the Almighty State along.However, before he could even arrive, Leon gave him a call to tell him that Gordon captured Snow!So, he immediately brought his men right over, and just arrived!"I'm fine! Mister Thompson, you came at the perfect moment. You weren't late at all!" Leon said with a smile.With Yuri's appearance, the situation changed, and Leon was much more at ease."Mister Thompson, what is the meaning of this? Why did you bring your men over to go against us?!" Dawn said angrily when she saw that Lucius was repelled."Miss Hughes, Mister Wolf is my friend. At the same time, he's a partner of the Hughes Group! Why are you attacking him for no reason?!" Yuri asked in confusion.He just arrived and did not know what was going
"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
