"What? It's no wonder that Leon managed to endure Rodney's attack and came out of it unscathed! That's why!" The Southern Boss exclaimed. He had already heard from Charlie and Black Gorilla that Leon possessed a defensive tool. However, he brushed it off as a low-level tool and was not concerned about it. After Rodney's defeat, Joel's words made him realize that the defensive tool Leon possessed was in the Peak Emperor State. In that instant, it all made sense as to how Rodney was defeated. "Also, Leon seems to possess daggers coated with poison that kills within seconds. If the Spears wish to eliminate him, you guys will have to look out for those as well!" Joel added. Joel was told about how Gordon came close to killing Darius with the daggers and that the Deadly Veratrum poison belonged to Leon, so he made sure to inform the Southern Boss about them as well. "Poisoned daggers? This kid sure has a lot of tricks up his sleeves!" The Southern Boss was shocked and finally unde
"You two?" The Southern Boss glanced at the Fifth and Sixth Guardians thoughtfully. "Rest assured! We will do our best to eliminate Leon. We won't disappoint you!" The Fifth and Sixth Guardians said hastily. Though they had learned that Leon possessed a defensive tool that might be in the Peak Emperor or Semi-Almighty State, such tools often had a limit to how frequently they could be used. As martial artists in the Semi-Almighty State, they were confident that they were much stronger than Leon. Even if Leon possessed a defensive tool in the Almighty State, they knew that they could still kill Leon easily. "I trust that the two of you have what it takes to get rid of him. However, he has many tricks up his sleeves. I'm afraid the two of you might not be enough! How about this? I will send the Third Guardian with you just in case!" The Southern Boss said. He had six guardians. Three of them were at a higher level of strength, while the other three were at a lower level. The
Meanwhile, on Leon's end. The sales drive resumed after the Southern Boss and Devon had left. "Mister Wolf, please start selling the pills!" The others urged. ... After the duel between Leon and Rodney, they had already learned the truth and knew that Roanne had only been defeated because of Rodney's weapon. Hence, the power of the Supreme Pure Energy Pills and Cleansing Pills was as great as Cynthion Group claimed and succeeded in helping Roanne break through the bottleneck in her training. The Cleansing Pills had the effect of cleansing the internal circulation of younger individuals and enhancing their flexibility. All direct descendants of powerful families, including Yuri and Darius, were all waiting in anticipation for the pills to be sold. "Alright! Allow me to brief you on the price and stock situation for each type of pill. There are a total of four Cleansing Pills. The price will be fourteen million for each pill, and each family is limited to purchasing one pil
"Mister Wolf, one Cleansing Pill is far from enough! The Thompsons are willing to pay more. Can you please sell all four of them to us?" Angus stepped forward hesitantly. He could tell that Yonas really wanted a Cleansing Pill. If the Thompsons were only allowed to purchase one pill, the pill would not end up in Yonas' possession. Since the Cleansing Pills had the effect of cleansing the internal circulation of younger individuals and enhancing their flexibility, it would be ideal if the Thompsons could purchase all four of the pills. "But..." Leon froze. Before he could say anything, Alan's shout resonated in the entire hall. "That won't do! Angus, my grandson Darius needs a Cleansing Pill as well! If the Thompsons take all four of them, my grandson won't get any!" He said. The younger generation of martial artists was the hope of all families. Since the Cleansing Pills could cleanse the internal circulation of younger individuals and enhance their flexibility, Alan was de
"Thank you, Mister Wolf..." Angus, Alan, and Elder Westwood were overjoyed and thanked Leon sincerely. Not only did Leon agree to their requests, but he had also given the Cleansing Pills to them freely, which surprised them. Though 14 million meant nothing to any of the families, Leon's gesture of goodwill did not escape their attention. Leon shot a look at one of the staff, who brought the Cleansing Pills to the three. "The Cleansing Pills are gone just like that..." ... The others were extremely disappointed. Since Alan and Arthur had both helped Leon to fight against the Southern Boss, they all knew that Leon was close with the Hughes and Thompsons, so it seemed normal for Leon to give the Cleansing Pills to the families that helped him in the past. Though they were disappointed, they also knew that there was nothing much they could do. "Damn it!" Yonas's expression darkened. He had proposed to purchase a few Cleansing Pills, but Leon turned him down. However,
After the sales drive, all the families, including the Hughes and Thompsons, left. Patrick and the Shears were the only ones left, along with Hugo and his men. Once everyone was gone, Hugo approached Leon. "Mister Morrison, aren't you going back to the western region now that the sales drive is over?" Leon asked in confusion. "Mister Wolf, there's something I'd like to discuss with you in person. Can I borrow some of your time?" Hugo said and glanced at the Shears hesitantly. "Oh. These people are my family. You can speak freely," Leon replied. "Well... I'll get straight to the point, then! Mister Wolf, I've just witnessed the power of the alchemical pills from Cynthion Group. I'm impressed! I am wondering if you have any plans to expand to the western region. If so, I'd like to represent the Morrisons and discuss our potential partnership..." Hugo explained. After Roanne's display, Hugo was able to witness the power of the Supreme Pure Energy Pills and the Cleansing Pill
"Mister Morrison, you have been mistaken. To tell you the truth, the production of alchemical pills requires an enormous supply of rare herbs and materials... It's not that easy to gather the supplies..." Leon explained his concerns. To prepare for the second sales drive, Leon had used up most of the herbs he received from the Shears and the Scammells. If he wished to produce enough pills for the market in the western region as well, he would need to give the Shears and the Scammells time to restock. He had only refrained from agreeing to the partnership out of concern that the supply would not meet the demand. It was not because of concerns about the profits he would make. "I see! Mister Wolf, if that's what you are worried about, please rest assured! I'm sure there are rare herbs in the western region as well. I can get my hands on them," Hugo said with a smile. "That's right. I almost forgot about it!" The herb suppliers in the western region were bound to have their own s
"Leon, the Energy Nurturing Pills and Pure Energy Pills will be of great help to us, so I won't turn them down. However, I can't accept the Cleansing Pills. They are far too valuable! Please take them back in case you need them in the future!" Patrick deadpanned.Leon was practically a part of their family, and Patrick knew that he had no reason to refuse Leon's gesture of goodwill. Instead, he thought that the Cleansing Pills would be of best use in Leon's possession."It's fine! I've saved up a few Cleansing Pills for my own use! Besides, we are a family. I must save the best for my family!" Leon said."But..." Patrick hesitated."Grandpa, just accept them! The Cleansing Pills will only work for young martial artists. I reserved these two pills for Iris's cousins... As for you and Uncle Damian, I've prepared two Sun Pills instead," Leon said.Damian had a son and a daughter. Since the Cleansing Pills worked best for younger individuals, he had only prepared two Cleansing Pills f
"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
