"You want me to hand over Cynthion Group? Dream on! Give me your worst and let's see what you scums are capable of!" Leon said in contempt."Very well! You asked for this! I'll kill you as you wish!" Enraged by Leon's attitude, the Third Guardian was about to leap into action when the Fifth and Sixth Guardians stepped forward."Third Guardian, don't waste your time! The two of us are more than enough to deal with him!""Yeah. You don't have to waste your time with him!"...The Fifth and Sixth Guardians said as they assumed that knew the full extent of Leon's power after fighting him once.They already learned from the Hiltons that Leon was only a mediocre martial artist and managed to defeat Rodney during the sales drive with the help of a defensive tool in the Peak Emperor or Semi-Almighty State.Since most weapons could only be used up to three times within a short period, they were confident that they could easily defeat Leon as they were both in the Semi-Almighty State."U
"T- The Almighty State!" The Fifth and Sixth Guardians were stunned, and so was the Third Guardian.They all knew that Leon was only a distant relative of the Scammells with no power or ally in the southern region. However, apart from the support Leon gained from the Thompsons and the Hughes, he somehow found an Almighty martial artist to protect him.The sudden turn of events completely took the three of them by surprise."Who are you, old man? Why are you helping Leon?" The Fifth and Sixth Guardians anchored themselves onto the ground and glared at Henry darkly."It doesn't matter who I am. I'm just a free-willed martial artist!"Henry said casuallySince he had a grudge against the Scarlet Thief, he felt that it was best not to mention his own name to save Leon some trouble."Old man, I don't care who you are, but the two of us work for the Southern Boss. This is a personal matter between our boss and Leon Wolf and it's none of your business! This is your first and final warnin
"What?""You work for Leon?"The Third, Fifth, and Sixth Guardians were all shocked as they assumed that Leon had no supporters in the southern region, yet an Almighty martial artist suddenly came forward and claimed to work for Leon.As the subordinates of the Southern Boss, they could not believe how they did not receive any information about it.Soon, realization dawned on them.Leon announced that Cynthion Group would be recruiting martial artists in the Semi-Almighty or Almighty State and the three guardians all heard about it.Hence, they concluded that Henry was recently recruited."Old man, you chose the wrong person to follow! You're digging your own grave!" The Third Guardian scoffed viciously.Since he learned that Henry was an Almighty martial artist, he knew that the Fifth and Sixth Guardians would not be matched for Henry. Not daring to stand back any longer, he immediately joined the Fifth and Sixth Guardians to fight Henry."Fifth Guardian, Sixth Guardian, let'
"Leon, there's an Almighty martial artist on their side and Henry is outnumbered! We need to leave before Henry loses!" Snow lowered her voice and warned Leon.She advised Leon to run directly over the guardians' car earlier, but Leon stubbornly insisted on facing the guardians directly.Fortunately, Henry was an Almighty martial artist and helped fend off the guardians to buy them time to escape."Yeah!""Leon, let's go."...Iris, Cynthia, and Ruth agreed as they could also tell that Henry was outnumbered and would eventually be defeated.If Leon stayed, they would all be doomed once that happen; on the other hand, if they manage to escape in time, Henry should be more than capable of escaping the guardians unscathed and all issues would be resolved."Leave? No, we can't leave. We don't need to leave!" Leon shook his head and rejected their suggestion once again."But,"Iris and the others did not expect Leon to insist on staying still and could not understand what Leon was
"Iris, don't worry! I'm going to be just fine!" Leon studied the worried looks on their faces and an idea formed in his head. He took the Cuff of Doom off his hand and handed it to Iris. "Iris, this is an Almighty Weapon. I'm leaving it with you for safekeeping! I'm going to head off to help Henry with the guardians now!" Leon said.He observed the fight instead of joining in out of concern that the guardians might take the opportunity to target the women. Without Leon's protection, he would be at a disadvantage if the guardians captured Iris and the others as hostages.Suddenly, he recalled the Cuff of Doom.The Cuff of Doom was a grade-two Almighty Weapon with the power of the Intermediate Almighty State.Leon used to require half a month to accumulate a strike in the cuff, but ever since he reached the Golden Phase, his power accelerated and the speed of accumulating strikes within the cuff sped up; in the present, he would only need a week to accumulate a strike in the Intermed
"It's me who you shall face, old man! Take this! Wind-Piercing Kick!" The Third Guardian shouted as he launched a Gold martial technique.His kick pierced through the air with formidable force, sending a wave of energy toward Henry."Damn it!" Henry paled.Though he was slightly stronger than others in the same power level, he just reached the Almighty State and was not able to develop a martial technique, so he instantly found himself at a disadvantage.Unable to stop the Fifth and Sixth Guardians, he released his energy to counter the Third Guardian's attack with all his might."Baam!"Henry's attack and the Third Guardian's Wind-Piercing Kick clashed and Henry was clearly struggling to withstand the Wind-Piercing Kick; his arms felt numb and he could not help but get pushed backward by the sheer force of the Wind-Piercing Kick."Here comes another one!" The Third Guardian launched yet another Wind-Piercing Kick relentlessly at Henry.After witnessing the power of the Wind-Pi
"Something isn't right with that kid. Be careful, Sixth Guardian," the Fifth Guardian said.He also assumed that Leon was a mediocre martial artist and thought that this was the best chance for them to get rid of Leon.However, Leon seemed so confident and calm that the Fifth Guardian soon realized Leon might be plotting to defeat them with the defensive tool.Not daring to face Leon directly, the Fifth Guardian dodged Leon's attack and tried to warn the Sixth Guardian, but it was too late."Baam!"The Sixth Guardian's powerful energy tore through Leon's attack and darted toward Leon's chest.Leon tilted his body at the very last moment to take the blow with the Mirror of Sovereign on his chest, all the while launching a Double Attack with his true energy in the Intermediate Overlord State at the Sixth Guardian."Wh- What's this?" The Sixth Guardian gasped in disbelief.He had learned from the Hiltons that Leon possessed a defensive tool in the Peak Emperor or Semi-Almighty Sta
Boom!The next moment, Fane's Earthly Plunder ripped away the Sixth Guardian's true energy, violently slamming into his chest. The Sixth Guardian was sent flying a few meters away before he slammed onto the ground!After he fell, there was an intense pain in his chest. After that, he clutched his chest and spat out a mouthful of blood, having been injured!"H-how is this possible?!"The Third Guardian was incredibly shocked at the sight. He could not believe his eyes!He knew how strong the Sixth Guardian was. They thought that Leon was just a completely insignificant ant that could be easily dealt with by the Fifth and Sixth Guardians!Yet, he never would have dreamed that reality was the complete opposite!Not only did the two of them fail to do anything to Leon, but the Sixth Guardian was also defeated by Leon in one strike. He was quite injured as well!Was that not unbelievable?!It was obvious how shocked he was!Of course, he was not the only one who was shocked, Henry
