"Despicable!" The Third Guardian's expression changed when he felt Leon's attack.He did not dare to delay things for a moment as he hurriedly tried to avoid Leon's attack!Right after that, he was prepared to continue fleeing using the geography and the trees, but when he saw that Henry was not with Leon, he changed his mind!He faced Leon head-on once, and he managed to injure Leon with one blow!He did not forget about that!If Leon and Henry pursued him together, there was naturally no way he could take them on two against one!However, he wondered what was wrong with Leon's head to come for him alone!Was that not just suicide?!With his skills at the Almighty State, there was no way he would be afraid of Leon!That was not all, the Southern Boss' task for him this time was to either capture Leon alive or to eliminate Leon!Leon was being too arrogant this time, trying to come for him alone. That was the perfect chance for him to deal with Leon!As long as he could capt
"What a cunning and sinister brat!" The Third Guardian hissed when he saw the needles!There was no way he would dare to face Leon head-on after seeing that. He hurriedly pulled back his true energy, bearing with the risk of his energy rebounding on him as he stopped his attack!He did not want to fall for Leon's trick!"You're trying to flee? It's already too late!" Leon sneered before he flicked his wrist.The two needles immediately shot forward, going right for the Third Guardian's head!"Not good."The Third Guardian was shocked.Even though he saw Leon's poisoned needles in time, he was still too close. It was already too late for him to avoid the attack!With danger at hand, he could not afford to bother with his noble status. He immediately pathetically rolled on the ground, barely managing to avoid the needles!"Old dog, die!"There was no way Leon would let the Third Guardian off easily after what the Third Guardian tried to pull with Iris and the others!He shot fo
"Mister Wolf, d-did you cripple the Third Guardian? How did you do it?" Henry looked at the pathetic state the Third Guardian was in, and he was shocked and filled with disbelief!He knew how strong the Third Guardian was, the man was already at the Almighty State!Even after fighting the Third Guardian for so long, he was not able to do anything to the man!Yet, he never would have dreamed that someone as your as Leon would have been able to stop the fleeing Third Guardian by himself, and even easily cripple the man!It was just unbelievable.It was obvious how shocked he was!"That's right!""Leon, are you already at the Almighty State?"Iris and Cynthia could not help but ask.They were worried, not sure if Leon was a match for the Third Guardian!Yet, they finally realized that Leon was much stronger than they thought. Even someone at the Almighty State lost to Leon!It somewhat exceeded their expectations!Of course, the fact that Leon managed to defeat the Third Gua
"Alright, let's head back!" Leon changed the topic and said.After that, he motioned to the fainted Third Guardian at Henry. A few of them returned to their original spot.At that moment, Leon's four subordinates, the Sharp brothers and Austin and Leo, were both waiting in place with the Fifth and Sixth Guardians!The two others were already captured, and their powers were sealed!They were on the floor, looking incredibly pathetic.However, they did not give up all hope!The Third Guardian managed to flee earlier, and they saw how Leon pursued the Third Guardian alone!They knew very well that there was no way Leon could stand up to the Third Guardian's immense skill!If the Third Guardian took advantage of Leon being alone and fought back, he might be able to defeat Leon and save the two of them.Then, the tables would be completely turned!That was what gave them some hope!Yet, it did not last for that long!With Leon and the others returning safely, the hope that ignit
With the Dragon Corps, outside the security gates, Leon walked out of the car with the Sharp brothers, alongside the three guardians.At that moment, after the journey, the unconscious Third Guardian already woke up.After they got out of the car."Leon, what are you trying to do? Where did you bring us?" The Third Guardian said darkly, looking at Leon venomously. Leon did not only break his arm but crippled his strength as well, turning him into a useless person!Thanks to that, he already hated Leon to the bone, wanting to rip Leon apart!"What am I doing? You'll know very soon!" Leon said with a sneer."Hey, this looks like the southern region's Dragon Corps! Brat, are you planning on leaving us to them to deal with?" The Fifth and Sixth Guardians looked around and quickly recognized where they were.Right after that, all three of them were shocked, vaguely guessing Leon's intentions!"What if I am?! Stop talking and wasting my time!" Leon said coldly. After that, he motio
"W-what's going on?"The three guardians were shocked to see what was happening.After that, they exchanged uncertain looks with each other!They thought that the Dragon Corps was not a place just anyone could enter and that Leon would not even be able to get past the main gate!Yet, not only did the guards not stop Leon at all, they seemed to be very polite to Leom as if they knew him!It greatly exceeded their expectations, and completely caught them off guard!However, they thought about it, and National Security Department was just a subordinate department of the Dragon Corps!The two guards in front of them were just lowly security guards, they were not even the lowest part of the Dragon Corps!Leon knowing the two of them was nothing to shout at!They might have just been familiar with Leon out of coincidence.With that in mind, they calmed down a lot more, not taking the matter to heart1"Mister Wolf, do you need anything?" The two guards asked, unsure of why Leon bro
"Leon, what are you trying to do here?" The Fifth Guardian asked coldly, not understanding what Leon's plan was!"Didn't I already tell you?! I plan on leaving you to the Dragon Corps! The three of you should repent for your sins in prison!" Leon mocked."What? You're trying to get the Dragon Corps to lock us up? What a joke!"Hearing that, the three guardians were completely shocked. They could not believe their ears!"Leon, is there something wrong with your head?""The Dragon Corps work with evidence when they capture people!""You don't have any evidence, but you want the Dragon Corps to capture us. That's just a pipe dream!"After the three guardians snapped back to reality, they had mocking looks on their faces, looking at Leon like he was an idiot.The three of them knew that the Dragon Corps was responsible for maintaining order in the marital world!The Southern Boss was the king of the underworld. He had a lot of power there, and he was very influential!The three o
"Stop with the nonsense! Leon, you should know of the Southern Boss' power. He's not someone you should play around with! I'm warning you. If you know what's good for you, then let the three of us go right now! Otherwise, the Southern Boss won't let you go so easily!" The Sixth Guardian threatened."The Sixth is right! Leon, you should know your place! The Southern Boss has so many experts under him. He's not someone a little kid with no power or background like you can go against! You'd better be obedient and let us go. Then, give Cynthion Group over to him! You might be rewarded by him in the end. You might even become one of the guardians just like the three of us, enjoying a life of luxury! It's far better than the fate that'll be waiting for you in the future!" The Fifth Guardian had a sudden thought, and tried to persuade Leon to join the Southern Boss!He knew that the Southern Boss was someone who appreciated talent!Even though the two of them had their grudges, Leon was
"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
