"It's very simple. Since the Southern Boss and his son, Rodney, have violated community principles by viciously targeting Mister Yonas and deviously framing me. Since that's the case, there's no need for me to be polite to them," Leon declared, his eyes flashing with a glint of sharp killing intent.He had no idea who the killer was until now, and no matter how skilled he was, he had no way to act. He had deduced, however, that Rodney was the mastermind behind it all.If he couldn't find Fiona and clear his name, he'd confront Rodney.With his current invincible strength in Intermediate Almighty State, he may not be able to defeat the Southern Boss, but capturing Rodney would be simple.Rodney was the true murderer of Yonas, and once Leon captured him and thoroughly interrogated him, he would reveal the truth, proving Leon's innocence.If Rodney remained stubborn and refused to cooperate, Leon would simply kill him, bringing both the Southern Boss and the Spears down.To summariz
"But," Angus opened his mouth, intending to persuade Leon, but before he could utter a word, Leon interrupted him."Uncle Angus, rest assured, I know what I'm doing. Anyway, let's first find a way to locate Fiona. If we can't find her within three days, we'll reassess the situation then," Leon reassured him with a smile.Thanks to Angus's intervention, Arthur already agreed to grant him a three-day grace period, during which he would not act rashly."Well, all right," Angus reluctantly agreed, "I'll immediately arrange for people to track Fiona's whereabouts and keep an eye on the Spears' movements. We must find Fiona within three days, no matter what," Angus said with a serious tone.Though he did not know much about Leon's extent of strength, given Leon's age, Angus doubted he could directly confront the Southern Boss.At the same time, he did not want Leon to jeopardize himself by recklessly confronting the Southern Boss out of momentary anger; if Leon killed Rodney, Leon would
Meanwhile, in the Spears Mansion, the Southern Boss was having a meeting with his inner circle when Rodney rushed inside."Rodney, welcome back! How did things go with Yonas Thompsons?" The Southern Boss asked.Yonas was the grandson of the leader of the Thompsons, and killing him was too big a decision to make, so Rodney informed his father and gained his approval ahead of time; however, the Southern Boss did not receive any update up until this moment."Dad, it's done! I saw with my own eyes that Arthur Thompsons gathered people to go after Leon before I came home, so if I'm not mistaken, Leon is going die this time," Rodney said with a smile."Excellent! Splendid!" Upon hearing this, the Southern Boss could not help but burst into hearty laughter.Thanks to Leon's inscrutable skills and the Thompsons' protection over him, despite multiple attempts to deal with Leon, they all failed.With Rodney and Joel's plotting against Yonas and framing Leon, it caused a bitter feud between
Just then, hurried footsteps sounded and the Fourth Apostle stormed in with a dark look on his face."Welcome back, Fourth Apostle! What happened with Leon and the Thompsons? Has Arthur killed Leon already?" Rodney rushed over and asked.He arranged for the Fourth Apostle to spy on the Thompsons and since the Fourth Apostle was back, Rodney assumed that his plan succeeded and Leon died at the hands of Arthur.Apart from Rodney, everyone else in the room believed so as well and turned to look at the Fourth Apostle for confirmation."Sir, Leon's still alive!" The Fourth Apostle shook his head."What?" "Leon isn't dead?""How, ho's that possible!"The news shocked everyone in the room and the Southern Boss stood abruptly, his smile fading. "Fourth Apostle, what is going on? Leon 'killed' Yonas, why didn't Arthur kill him and avenge Yonas?!" The Southern Boss asked with a chilling tone, his expression dark.Just moments ago, he and Rodney believed that Leon was undoubtedly dead thi
"That might be right, but Leon is no fool! If he can't find anything to prove his innocence, he might flee the region instead of waiting to be killed here!" Rodney said gloomily. He agreed with the Fourth Apostle that thought that his plan was perfect. Leon did not know who the true killer was and finding any evidence that could lead to the truth seemed impossible, so Rodney was not worried about Leon finding out about the truth; his true concern was that Leon might disappear if he failed to find anything to prove his innocence.Should that happen, the Southern Boss would not be able to eliminate Leon and their plan to take over Cynthion Group would fail as well. "Um," The Fourth Apostle fell into silence. He knew that Rodney had a point. Leon was never the one responsible for the murder of Yonas. If Leon could not uncover the truth of the matter, he would not stay around to face his death. There was no way he would willingly take the blame and sacrifice his life for it.
Before the Southern Boss finished speaking, Rodney was taken aback as he immediately realized the Southern Boss's intentions. "Dad, are you planning to take advantage of the opportunity to target the only legitimate heir of the Thompsons?" "Well, you're right! The legitimate heir of the second bloodline of the Thompsons, Yonas, is already dead. If Yuri, the legitimate heir of the first bloodline, dies as well, then the Thompsons will have no successors and will inevitably fall. We can easily overthrow the Thompsons and dominate the entire Southern region," The Southern Boss's expression was cold, his eyes filled with chilling malicious intent. Yonas and Yuri were the only legitimate heirs to their family and with Yonas dead, the Southern Boss decided to take action against Yuri, harboring intentions to eliminate him as well. Once Yuri is dead, the third-generation descendants of the Thompsons will be left without a successor. The remaining collateral descendants would surely enga
"The thing is," began the Southern Boss, his tone measured. "Arthur and August have now firmly concluded that Leon is the one responsible for plotting Yonas's demise. In three days, they will undoubtedly kill Leon to avenge Yonas. My suggestion is to wait those three days and let them tear each other apart. Wouldn't that be better?" The Grand Apostle hesitated, his face showing doubt. The Southern Boss shook his head. "I won't wait any longer! Leon is no fool and if he senses danger, he might very well escape from the Southern region. I can't let him get away." He did not want to wait three days, mainly because he feared Leon would flee in fear. Moreover, the true culprit behind Yonas's murder was Rodney, not Leon. Although Rodney's plan to frame Leon was flawless and left no clues, nothing in this world was absolute. If Leon were to discover even the slightest trace of evidence during these three days, it would be detrimental to Rodney and the Spears. In that case, it was be
"Uncle Angus, do you know how many people the Southern Boss has sent this time?" Leon regained his composure and quickly inquired.His overall strength reached the invincible level of Intermediate Almighty State, and even if the Southern Boss sent a few martial artists in the equal state, Leon was confident that he could handle it. "According to the information passed on by the fourth elder, the Southern Boss personally took action this time, and his entire force of skilled fighters from the Spears, including the Four Apostles and the Six Guardians, are on the move as well. They practically emptied their nest," Angus answered with a worried expression. "Emptied their nest? It seems that the Southern Boss is prepared to engage me in a battle to the death and leave me no way out!" Leon took a sharp breath, his expression darkening at the realization of how grim the situation was. He already deduced that Rodney was the true culprit behind Yonas's death. Now, not only did the Sout
"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
